Grizzled Mercenary Dad™ has definitely lasted longer than i expected! Growlanser's one of those names i've heard of but never actually learned anything about so i'm curious to see how this plays out. Looks pretty neat so far, i dig the shoulderpads (even if the actual designs are a bit hit and miss...).

Well poo poo! That sure took a turn. Gruff Anime Dad was a question of time but Regina's pretty unexpected. Just before we could get some info, too   I'm not... entirely sold on the dialogue system. It makes some sense to not flip between rear end in a top hat and shounen protagonist, but "don't blindly charge an unknown but obviously powerful enemy" is not so much cowardly and more... simply not stupid (and entirely justified given how well fighting it went)... Am i reading it wrong that you can just sit at 20% health and multi-shot everything? Or does it have a recharge time or something? I don't think Dixon looks that old, really - grey hair aside he's pretty well preserved for a dude who spends time outdoors (and fighting). Then again, next to Remus just about anyone will look ancient.

Psycho Knight posted:You can proc Limit Abilities multiple times. Crevanille eventually gets a broken one that you can spam pretty reliably. Multi-Shot does have a cool down, though, in the sense that you need Remus to attack for it to trigger (so it will depend on his ATW stat). I also don't think it's a 100% chance. Yeah i figured it'd activate on attacking, but it still seems like being able to do it every turn would be pretty powerful, especially since you'd probably keep him out of most enemies' attack range anyway. Being chance-based at least makes it a lot less overpowered than it first looked. quote:I mean, the people in their mid-40's that I know look a fair bit younger than Dixon. Granted, those people are academics instead of warriors or outdoorsman, but still. Cutscene Dixon looks a bit younger than in-game portrait Dixon though. The "outdoors" bit is pretty important. People who get regular exposure to sunlight tend to get more wrinkles than desk jockeys. I mean, at least that is what i've been told; as a goon i naturally don't get nearly enough sunlight to confirm it in person

Psycho Knight posted:Well, Fire seems like the default hero/Main Character element. I guess we’ll take that one. That is exactly why you should pick anything else  Ahahaha what the hell is Bryntir's hair doing Is he a sentient wig piloting a meat puppet or what I like that being able to see magical bullshit is apparently something that can, at least to a degree, be taught. Too much fantasy goes all in on the special sparkly bloodline stuff. It's always nice when games give you a little thumbs-up for taking on "impossible" fights if you actually manage it. You don't kill Abram for the exp; you do it for the experience. quote:Nope. Going to pop that bubble right now, Remus. Ouch!  Secret books don't fare much better here than they do in Fire Emblem, huh. I need iron swords, drat it! Goddamn! Vallery looks like he could benchpress Crevanille and Remus at the same time. Things seem to be moving at a brisk pace here. In Fire Emblem i feel like you'd still be fighting brigands at this point. I have no idea what i voted for but i did and that's what matters!!! I also vote we put a blue and a green stone but no red ones to make up for selecting the fire magic at the start

It's been a hot minute but this critter seems even more robotic than Rei. I'll have you know i voted for the talkative one! Anyway, use the new costume, it's purple and stylin'.  Looking forward to the Sarcasm Elemental magic Given Fire Emblem experience my immediate instinct is to hoard all the +mov, but...I like the little bit with the ring identification option, it's cute. For a moment i thought Remus was planning to seduce the grieving widow... Hmm, Deringer's face looks somewhat familiar...  ...probably just my imagination. Glitches in reality aside, the fruit quest's kind of neat (if mean).

Ah yes, my name is also Creature 4. Remus is mad as hell and he's not gonna take it any more! Putting in a request that once you're able to fight angels properly, let him get the first kill. (I mean unless it requires magical protagonist powers or some poo poo which it probably will.) I'm fully convinced Alfonse is a very good boy who would never do anything to hurt us, we will be the best of friends and no one will be sad. Definitely nice to see the outfit in the portrait, yes!

 No female enemies, huh...?  Goddamn that is a lot of endings. Sephinot is definitely the better name, yes. Not being able to stab him is kind of annoying if they let you go so far as to draw on him, but it is also an incredibly bad idea and would kind of necessitate a bad ending scene if you started poo poo here and now... so it's understandable. That is a cool bit with the attack and i imagine it's pretty tense to play! I'm liking it a lot, even if the potential to softlock is pretty bad design...

The more i see of this game, the more i feel like i'm going to have to play it myself at some point. There's a lot here! Let's honour our gruff dead anime dad and call the place Dixonville! It's exactly ten characters. I've never heard of a beard bro, super or otherwise, but that was a pretty good first impression.

I'm still disappointed to share a thread with a bunch of Remus-haters.  Some good Little poo poo reply options there... quote:The elemental AOE Joint Spells will usually fill the screen with effects.

Psycho Knight posted:Apparently (and I say that because I can’t find a playthrough to verify it), in the Original Route it is possible to fully revive your original Familiar. From what I’ve read, you achieve that by being as mean as you can to your new Familiar. This supposedly results in her reaching a point where she basically erases herself to bring back the original. If true, that is a surprisingly messed up option to give the player. I wouldn't put it past this game after what we've seen so far. ...Crevanille's black lipstick makes him look like a j-rocker...

So this gruff anime dad didn't die? Impossible! I'm pretty sure you broke reality somehow and it may have horrible consequences further down the line. New costume isn't bad but bear costume 4lyf Hang with Yuni regardless of outfit though, as well as Remus, Hien, and Leona.

I'll tell y'all now i will not stand for no catgirl racism  That was some fine dancing! I can understand the desire to hold off on it so as to not make every battle "nuke, move on"... though i can also understand the desire to just nuke and move on if they're going to give you the opportunity.  "strange Death man". "Skeletor" is more succinct though.Beach Yuni is honestly tamer than i was expecting from outfit H. Anyway, not worth considering over the almighty bear. Do Eliza's thing and also here is my standard Hien and Remus vote. And i guess Leona and Mell for the last two?
