TMS is really weird because it feels like the developer had this cool idea for a Persona game with idols but then the FE crossover project was dumped on him so he just put the bare minimum amount of FE into it to satisfy Nintendo

The FE character selection was really weird too though not nearly as bad as in Warriors

TMS#FE is good and I will rebuy it on Switch and replay it for 85 hours and maybe beat it this time.

Admittedly I've only played a couple of fire emblem games and never completed any of them but I always found the characters in the shining force games to be more memorable. There are only a couple of fire emblem characters I can recall off the top of my head but with shining force, which I've also only ever played a few of and never completed any of them, I think the characters stuck with me a bit more.

i remember the fire emblem casts way more but the awakening and fates casts arent great.

fe9 has the best cast of any fire emblem game imo.

Y'all need to get this thing. I'm not saying your thumb won't hurt eventually but I just played through all of Ys 1 with it and it felt great.

Awakening isn't exactly a great work of literature but I think it nailed having a likeable, memorable cast with enough variation that players of all stripes can find someone they love

Now now, he quit on his own because he realized there's more money fleecing idiots by reassuring them the entire world is out to get them.

At his height the dude was making $30,000 a month researching hard hitting issues like "How is America racist if Asians are the highest paid demographic???"

I love shining force and increasingly strongly dislike fire emblem, but I can definitely identify more FE characters, those games are very focused on character interactions in a way that makes them very memorable

I suspect the FE games I've played would have something to do with that as well since I've never touched Awakening or Fates, only Blazing Sword and Sacred Stones and so little of the DS game that I'd might as well not even count it, while with Shining Force I've only played the first game and the first gaiden game and played 2 about as much as I played fire emblem DS.

In awakening I think the implication is that she isn't like trying to be sexy, that's just the normal fashion in Plegia. Like her sprite has a very modest pose and she doesn't flaunt her sexuality in any of her supports that I recall. Then spinoff material, starting with the awakening DLC, has emphasized her body more and more. So her TMS depiction is probably the most true to her original character it's been since then

the chapter 3 c-side just sucks. lots of fidgety stuff that throws off your rhythm and then oshiro just becomes the worst hazard ever

Man, it is loving incredible how much of a lost loving art Mechwarrior 4 Mercenaries' campaign is, the bouncing around taking contracts doing smaller scale missions like securing a convoy or raiding an industrial center combined with the day to day management of running the mechlab and tinkering with your giant robot tanks is really nice, and I wish there was anything else like it. It has a really nice flow that I don't think can be beat.

I finally got past it. Got to the Oshiro part. Got through the awful awful gauntlet inside, got outside, and then the game wants you to do the thing where you jump on his head to get an extra jump and THAT, I don't think I can do. I've never been able to get the timing right on that. I'm gonna keep trying for a while but the Oshiro head bop is one of the mechanics I have never been able to nail down

It's not as bad as you think, the hitbox to bounce on his head is pretty generous. Just practice a little in place and you'll get the timing.

It doesn't help that there's like 20 different visual cues before Oshiro charges, and the weird effect his charge does.

:toot:

Took the above advice and just chilled at the door and practiced on him at the start. I'm still not fully confident I figured out the timing and got through it via dumb luck, because you need to also be leaping forward while bopping his head. The secret to beating this C-Side was not believing in myself :v:

The first room was way WAY harder though. The timing and positioning on that poo poo is SO loving tight if you're even a little bit off on either thing you will not make it. You HAVE to go fast through that section too so it's like stressful on top of it.

Get hosed Mr Oshiro
