I'm sorry, but when did this game about WAR become a freaking dating simulater/petting zoo!? Ugh! I really am not liking the direction this franchise is heading in...
First the gay controversy thing (not going down that path), then they got rid of the weapon use limits, then they messed with the triangle, then they allowed you to PET your HUMAN WARRIORS so that you can raise their "friendship" or whatever.... (Very thankful that was cut out at least)
Aaaand... pre-ordered! I have been waiting for this one for a while. trying to sell my amiibo collection, and only keep the ones i really want. Roy is definitely a keeper.
nice! That Ganon Amiibo makes you take a considerable amount of Damage! Holy crap! I was concerned that the damage taken would only increase by x2 but it would seem its more like x10!
@kiigu Thats probably will not be an option. I have a strong feeling if you don't get it pre ordered, you won't get it at all. But good luck either way.
Called it! I totally freaking called it. No figurine. (because Americans don't like figurines....??)
sigh whatever, that art book looks absolutely amazing though! 250 pages?? And if the soundtrack is half as good as it was in Default, then this shall not disappoint.
WHEN IS THE NENDOROID BEING RELEASED??? I must have it in my collection... I missed out on the first Red Nendoroid, and this one looks fantastic. Is there any release date news??
Yep, no problem This site a really great, cause you get in-store credit back from every purchase. They often have deals at the end of the month where you can get 10x the amount of credit for your purchases to, which is nice. Also, most if not all of their pre-orders (I know at least for figmas and Nendoroids) have free shipping, which is amazing!
I personally prefer her more modest costume change. The stuff that comes out of Japan is often shameless softcore porn, (which is my biggest issue with Anime in general). IMO, young kids who play these games don't need to be staring at that day in and day out. The culture in Japan is okay with that sort of thing. I mean, just look at any shonen anime! Boys in those shows often do perverted things like, looking up girls skirts, barging in while girls are showering etc... Not to mention the ever present perverted old man character (master roshi, lol!) But in Japan its seen as funny, and harmless, and that's just the culture over there. It's just not the case in America because most American families run on a different set of morals.
I understand the distast for "censorship", I really do, but I believe it has its places, and T rated JRPGs that kids/young teens play is one of them. IMHO.
Now I really wish people would stop crying over not being able to see the thirteen year old's T&A with 100% clarity.
FF XV for me too! I am so freaking pumped for the amazing Open World RPG lineup this year. Look up trailers for Horizon: zero dawn, looks fantastic.
FFXV is gonna be the system seller for me. I still haven't bought the PS4 cause I've been waiting for a LE FFXV edition to be announced. An LE FF VII remake edition would be welcome too...
A bit off subject, but does anyone else going XCX's music to be rather annoying? I haven't gotten very far, so maybe it gets better... But so far, the music is really abysmal. The daytime overworld music is too intense and unrelaxing, the music for both night and day in NLA are absolutely terrible (weird off key female vocals, and RAP!? Ouy). And the battle music is also laced with aweful RAP vocals! It sucks!
I really hope this doesn't get censored, the cowboy costume looks stupid with that gigantic hat. The Indian costume is way cooler! (Oh sorry, I meant Native American)
I am so tired of people are to sensitive to walk on the ground barefoot. This isn't offensive at all! I'm not a native American... But if you are HONESTLY butthurt that a relatively obscure video game character has a costume option that represents your culture (in a really cool looking way), then you should take a step back and reconsider, for everyone's sake.
This one is a different type of level. it utilizes FLOOD, but is 100% ink-free (you use him for platforming purposes 90% of the time anyway). This particular level is made about 50% harder if you are also trying to collect the blue coins that are passing by on the clouds, not easy to do (you buy stars with blue coins): https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=szXfIzv19tk
Also, all of these minigames (minus the ones that utilize FLOOD) have a replay option, where you are timed to beat the level, and collect 8 red coins.
Anyhoo, this is only the tip of the iceberg, they get a lot harder as the game progresses. Hope this helped!
The levels where Shadow Mario steals FLOOD, and you are forced to play a tough obstacle course without using him. Usually the accapella Mario theme starts playing.
Let me just say, the number of levels where you are forced to clean large areas are very few. But yeah, I can understand where you are coming from. For me, I really enjoyed the FLOOD mechanics, and getting the rocket nozzle, and the water jet and hover nozzle, but its definitely different.
Anyway, I reccomend playing it all the way through before totally shunning it. There is some seriously fun platforming to be had, and it definitely outweighs the tedious stuff, very, very few levels just have you cleaning crap up. IMO, its more fun than Galaxy. But whatever floats your boat.
(BTW, those minigame levels make up roughly 50-60% of the game)
I highly reccomended you play it through all the way. The levels are all very fun, I often found myself just hopping around different worlds, just for the sheer enjoyment of the mechanics. The mini game levels are amazingly fun too! Those are the levels where you go into a special cave or building in a given world, and you have FLOOD taken away from you and you have to beat a tough obstacle course without him. And then you can replay those for another Star (or rather, "Shine"), only the second time around you have FLOOD, and you are timed to get red coins.
The bosses are very fun, the races with piantisimo are very challenging but fun.... All in all, Sunshine definitely on par, if not better than the Galaxy games IMO.
Don't get me wrong, I loved the Galaxy games, but I could play sunshine 100x in a row and still want more. I will say however, it has tendencies to act a little buggy, but nothing bad. Usually just little visual hiccups or wall clips, nothing game breaking.
I played the living crap out of it as a kid, and it still holds up as one of the most fun games ever to me.
I consider this payback for you guys in Europe getting all the Club Nintendo favor. We in the US got very little for our participation, especially compared to what you guys got near the end of CN's life. (Soundtracks, Captain toad lamps, Mario kart trophies, goodbye coins, the list goes on)
Nope! It's happening probably not for the next two years (FFVII 20th Anniversary), but it is happening!
As far as I know, the ps3 trailer was just a tech demo, to show off what the system was capable of back when it released in 2006. (Correct me if that date is wrong)
So excited! I love FF. Cant wait to see what new characters get announced! Surely I'm not the only one who is hoping for Isaac, right? K. Cool would be awesome too...
No, the Ballot status was, as far as I understand, not made visible to the public. I think the way people have been gauging the popularity of certain characters, is by holding their own polls and asking people who voted, who they voted for.
That is 100% speculation though. I just remember seeing an unnoficial chart with a bunch of character stats and percentages on it, that was pretty extensive. And I never saw Cloud on there.
So I other words, take my words with a rather large grain of salt. Haha!
But I think you are right! We will most likely see a multitude of new fighters in next months Smash direct.
Naturally, this character only appeals to FF fans, and I get that. But that is hardly a reason to be "disgusted". Here's a bright idea, how about you just... Not buy the DLC
I can't understand all of you people ranting about "sword weilders". Since when is a sword a bad thing?
Do want more Pokemon!? How about another "magic user" because by your logic, we have like 50 of them already. Not to mention the countless fist-fighters we already have, and gunners as well!
And seeing as literally NOBODY was expecting this, and Cloud was all but nowhere to be seen in the Ballot polls, I'd say that this was most certainly not just something to "please the fanboys".
I must admit, I'm rather excited! He looks like a really unique Fighter. And Cloud is a really neat character anyway.
(Contrary to popular belief, he is not just an emo-anime turd with spiky hair. People always see him for his Advent Children appearance, which is a much more emo portrayal of him. But in the game, he's actually a rather chipper dude all things considered.)
I almost died when I saw that!! I am a HUGE FF fan, and am just about to beat FF VII for the first time, so this was so strangely well timed. Completely unexpected though! The last character I would have thought would make the cut! (No pun intended...)
Cloud is a neat character, and I am happy that they chose to go with his original in game costume, as well as his Advent Children costume! FFVII is definitely on my top favorite games list.
Look dude, I'm not saying that the game is perfect. Okay? It has its flaws. I can totally agree that during the later portions of the game, your characters get really OP. But IMO, that's the fun part about Awakening. I Love the older FE games, and don't consider Awakening to be anything "better". It's just different, and I like it. getting to that godly power level is just something that has never been in an FE game before, and its fun! The DLC that was made available, REALLY leveled the playing field once your units got to those levels anyway, so it gave you something else to work at post game, and it required ALL of your units to be that level, not just Robin+Chrom.
And ummm... A chore at a casino? Don't you think that's a bit extreme? Okay I get it, crit rate is slightly increased on enemy units.... That's the point of Lunatic. Making it harder, not just by adding more units, but by making those units more powerful/annoying!
I mean, in early game Lunatic, if you don't plan your moves right you will get killed regardless In 2 hits... So what do you do if someone crits you? You reset! That's how everyone plays FE, and always has. I mean, crit has been around since game 1 and has always been a threat, you could be winning and before you know it you are dead because of a crit. Nothing new, they just raised that chance a little bit in Lunatic. Hardly a "chore at a casino"!
But enough about awakening. You've made your point, and are entitled to your opinion, and I to mine.
But, "Paying €40 for a game and enjoying it how you like? The world is ending...(facepalm)". I never said anything like that. I don't give a monky fart how you spend your money, I was just saying that I think it's stupid, because story is only half or less of the game, and if you are playing through the game, dreading the battles (either because they are too hard, or too boring) then you would probably be happier with a a good TV show, or a book.
But, Please don't bad mouth Awakening for being " unbalanced" and then go on to defend Phoenix Mode and Nerfed difficulty to come in Fates. Lunatic Mode is just as much an option as Phoenix Mode is!
Let's just agree to disagree. I hope you have a great day!
Yes, it is stupid. Paying $40. For a game, that you have zero intention of ACTULLY playing, just to "experience the story" is really dumb. The story is okay, bit that is only half if not, a third of the game! You can buy great fictional book for 5-10 dollars!
And no, Lunatic is NOT all down to randoms generators. The ONLY thing random about it is enemy criticals. Other than that, the enemies all attack you in according to where you move your units. Which is why it is NOT all up to "Dice Rolls",
So gripe all you want about how "unbalanced" it is. It sounds to me, like someone had a hard time with the game and gave up in frustration, and instead of admitting that, is deciding to just call it "Unbalanced"... But don't worry, there's always Phoenix Mode for ya'!
And by the way, if you have the EXPonential Growth map unlocked, the game is only truly "Lunatic" for the first few levels. Once you gain access to level grinding things get easier.
It took a great deal of thought to arrange certain units so that nobody got slaughtered on chapter 2 (I was stuck for days on that level) , and was very rewarding once completed.
Without weapons breaking, all I would have had to do is send Chrom and Fredrick out in the middle with an "indestructible Silver lance". And sweep everyone. But it was designed in such a way that if you had been over using your S lance up to this point (which is VERY easy to do), it made chapter 2 EXTREMELY difficult, if not impossible. And in order to not over use the S lance, you had to move your units ways that would take extra valuable turns to trade all the Iron/bronze weapons to Fredrick, which, if you weren't thinking ahead, was VERY hard to do effectively in chapter 2. Not to mention, that early on, everyone but Fred+Chrom is pathetic, and stands no chance if caught off gaurd on their own. So you have to worry about that too!
Weapon uses are extremely important in high level play, especially if you are a completionist and don't want any units to die.
And yes, I am very aware of Weapon triangle variations, and tbh this one really isn't that bad. Not a huge fan of double weaknesses, but they are balanced by double advantages so its really fine.
And as far as Phoenix Mode goes, as a FE veteran, you must admit that it is stupid as crap. Idc how "fair" it is, and I 100% realize that I am in no way required to utilize it, but that doesn't make it any less stupid. I mean, there is literally no point to playing the game if you play Phoenix Mode. You could literally just skip your turn and not move a single unit the whole battle and still win. This is made that much more possible with unlimited Weapon uses!
Again, I understand I do not have to use it, but I cannot help but make fun of how stupid it is.

But, "Paying €40 for a game and enjoying it how you like? The world is ending...(facepalm)". I never said anything like that. I don't give a monky fart how you spend your money, I was just saying that I think it's stupid, because story is only half or less of the game, and if you are playing through the game, dreading the battles (either because they are too hard, or too boring) then you would probably be happier with a a good TV show, or a book.
But, Please don't bad mouth Awakening for being " unbalanced" and then go on to defend Phoenix Mode and Nerfed difficulty to come in Fates. Lunatic Mode is just as much an option as Phoenix Mode is!
Let's just agree to disagree. I hope you have a great day!

Yes, it is stupid. Paying $40. For a game, that you have zero intention of ACTULLY playing, just to "experience the story" is really dumb. The story is okay, bit that is only half if not, a third of the game! You can buy great fictional book for 5-10 dollars!
And no, Lunatic is NOT all down to randoms generators. The ONLY thing random about it is enemy criticals. Other than that, the enemies all attack you in according to where you move your units. Which is why it is NOT all up to "Dice Rolls",
So gripe all you want about how "unbalanced" it is.
It sounds to me, like someone had a hard time with the game and gave up in frustration, and instead of admitting that, is deciding to just call it "Unbalanced"... But don't worry, there's always Phoenix Mode for ya'!
And by the way, if you have the EXPonential Growth map unlocked, the game is only truly "Lunatic" for the first few levels. Once you gain access to level grinding things get easier.
I am done here.

It took a great deal of thought to arrange certain units so that nobody got slaughtered on chapter 2 (I was stuck for days on that level) , and was very rewarding once completed.
Without weapons breaking, all I would have had to do is send Chrom and Fredrick out in the middle with an "indestructible Silver lance". And sweep everyone. But it was designed in such a way that if you had been over using your S lance up to this point (which is VERY easy to do), it made chapter 2 EXTREMELY difficult, if not impossible. And in order to not over use the S lance, you had to move your units ways that would take extra valuable turns to trade all the Iron/bronze weapons to Fredrick, which, if you weren't thinking ahead, was VERY hard to do effectively in chapter 2. Not to mention, that early on, everyone but Fred+Chrom is pathetic, and stands no chance if caught off gaurd on their own. So you have to worry about that too!
Weapon uses are extremely important in high level play, especially if you are a completionist and don't want any units to die.
And yes, I am very aware of Weapon triangle variations, and tbh this one really isn't that bad. Not a huge fan of double weaknesses, but they are balanced by double advantages so its really fine.
And as far as Phoenix Mode goes, as a FE veteran, you must admit that it is stupid as crap. Idc how "fair" it is, and I 100% realize that I am in no way required to utilize it, but that doesn't make it any less stupid. I mean, there is literally no point to playing the game if you play Phoenix Mode. You could literally just skip your turn and not move a single unit the whole battle and still win. This is made that much more possible with unlimited Weapon uses!
Again, I understand I do not have to use it, but I cannot help but make fun of how stupid it is.
