Ships on release day instead of arriving on release day, and no option for in-store pickup instead? That sucks.

Yeah, I was hoping I misunderstood that and that it'd be arriving release day. Amazon has spoiled me, and it's annoying to pay for 5 day shipping.

They should have bundled the game with a New 3ds with a cool dragon pattern, because I need to upgrade, but also want a console that announces exactly the type of nerd I am, when I invite ladies into my lair.

Yeah, Nintendo has really dropped the ball with N3DS special editions. Don't they realize releasing shiny new limited editions of their shiny new console makes people pull the trigger and upgrade?

It would have for me.

Then I bought the thing anyway before Xenoblade came out and got a Monado decal for it.

GARVASE DAY!

I guess the idea of the faceplates is that you can make them look purty without getting a new console but for that to work they need to actually release goddamn faceplates that aren't (as far as I've seen anywhere) just generic flower patterns and poo poo.

If someone says it one more time I'm having Florina show up as a corpse. I'm not even kidding, I was pissed off with people doing that shit back in 2010, and I'm not dealing with it now in 2016.
So here's the new items we just finished inserting into the game

Now first things first are the magic expansion spells, these are the same ones that Awful Emblem included and bring magic up to being real fleshed out weapons like the melee ones.

Secondly we have two branches added to the archery tree, Crossbows (Usable by Warriors and Archers) and Longbows (Usable by Archers) Crossbows are 1-2 weapons with low Mt, the natural strength of the Sniper/Warrior provides the better part of the damage with each shot. While low powered, they do provide counter attack options, and the Crossbow and Heavy Crossbow are just stock standard improvements. On the other hand, the Repeating Crossbow is a brave weapon, while it has a low Mt (3) it's set up in such a way to be able to pour on the fire power. It also has, for now, more shots in 60 uses. The Arbalest is the S-Rank Crossbow, now it's a class of S-Rank weapons which you can find rarely, or if you complete multiple requirements throughout the game, you can unlock a shopkeeper who will sell them in the base. The Longbows are the opposite spectrum, weaker than the normal bows, but not as much as the Crossbows, but their range is 2-4. The Longbows aren't rare weaponry, being sold from shops like other regular weapons, and come in Iron to Silver grade for increased power. This greatly aids the archers usability and this replaces the planned feature of always 2-3 archers. The S-Rank Longbow is the Compound Longbow, it doesn't feature a special effect it's just long range and powerful. I may change its range to be 2-5 for the sake of making it more than just Longbow + though. We'll see how testing is.

These trees provide more depth to the Archers, though nomads will find these new toys excluded from their arsenal, their horses and eventual swords will be their only comfort.

We're also introducing the 'Wind' Swords to the game, rounding out the lowered-in-power hand axe and Javelin series of weapons. The Swords just give sword users the same ranged options as the other melee classes.

Finally, we have the Devil Sword and Devil Lance. I don't think I should be required to explain what those do, and they are mostly there for the comedy.

That's all the updates we have for today, all of these weapons along with many Prf weapons have been inserted into the game. There's an idea to add a Great Lance and Great Axe series of weapons but it's still unsure. If you have any suggestions or opinions let me know, or post about in the FEU topic here.

IIRC it was the same deal over there, but they also got a cover plate in addition to the cartridge n book and stuff. It wasn't like the Awakening bundle with the game preloaded on a special edition console.

Also the faceplate Japan got isn't really my style. There should be a middle ground between generic patterns and the entire moe army.

No, they got a New 3DS bundle with game and console. Only a Birthright version though.

The Japanese have spoken in regards to Warriors (Musou) collaborations they want to see from Tecmo Koei next. Fire Emblem scored third place when it came to game series.

Nintendo gave no comments on it.

The hell is Touken Ranbu

Terper
Jun 26, 2012


Touken Ranbu (刀剣乱舞 Tōken Ranbu?, lit. "Wild Swords Dance") is a free-to-play collectible card browser video game developed by Nitroplus and DMM Games, available only in Japan since 2015.[1]

Players assume the role of a sage (審神者 saniwa?) who travels into the past to defeat evil forces, and has the ability to animate legendary swords, which are depicted as attractive young men. Touken Ranbu is mostly a gender-swapped clone of the game Kantai Collection, also by DMM, which anthropomorphizes historical warships as young girls. Combat is largely automated, with progress mainly dependent on resource management and grinding.

Touken Ranbu quickly became very popular in Japan, particularly with young women, and had over a million registered players as of June 2015. The game has been credited with accelerating the Japanese cultural trend of "katana women" (カタナ女子 katana joshi?) – women who are interested in, and who pose with, historical Japanese swords. That trend had been started a few years previously with the Sengoku Basara video games, which made katana fans a distinct part of the Japanese subculture of female history aficionados (reki-jo).[1] The popularity of Touken Ranbu was such that a Japanese women's interest magazine published an article about exercise routines based on swordfighting techniques from the game,[2] and the 2015 Tokyo Wonder Festival's figure exhibition was reportedly "completely dominated by hot male swordsmen".[3]
