I would had posed a question relating to their optimization. Why is it worse than previous entries? Why can't I buy X amount of consumables like Tonics and Vulneraries more than one at a time? Also, why doesn't these items stack in the convoy? They're set individually. I take a big issue with this since it was seamless in Fates as they stacked properly, but every time I'm loading up my party with Tonics in Preparations, it's such a chore to scroll through the list again for the next Tonic as it doesn't remember your last placement either. I had hoped they would had remedied this in one of their DLC wave updates, but seems like they're done with this game, update wise.
Ahh, no Binding Blade.. Nintendo can fund throwaway titles like 1-2-Switch and a sequel, but not for translating games on their NSO service to pull in more people?...
@nintendolife Can't help but point out that I did mention the game size listings on the eshop pages an hour before SE formally announced the release date video last week through as a news tip message to your staff (with no name mention might I add)
I never understood how anyone could say Stadium or Stadium 2 are impossible with rentals. You're pretty limited to your monster choices. but that's what it is: a test of knowing which monsters to pick. You're going to get unlucky and lose every now and again, but it's not so bad. What people mean by 'impossible' is rather "can't steamroll".
@Polvasti Can't help but notice those who got their feathers rustled by your statements happen to have some anime girl or female illustration profile picture. Reeks of bias.
@steely_pete Lyn's popularity soared through Fire Emblem Heroes, a mobile gacha game, with much new art she received that exaggerated her proportions compared to her original design. Little before was Lyn recognized and discussed outside being an assist trophy in Smash. I'd wager much of her fanbase that spawned with FEH know little about her actual character and is just a 'fan' of her art.
I fail to see why you point out Lyn however, as she's as far from a knight as it gets growing up in a tribe and fought in similar garb appropriate for hunting and the like.
I miss the times pre Awakening when female character art were really tame and wore convincing gear as if they're fighting in a kill-or-be-killed war, no overly revealing tops. More in lines of Jill from Path of Radiance and Radiant Dawn needed no assistance in her appeal. But I blame it on the fact that sex appeal sells more than class designs and it showed evidently throughout Fire Emblem history of games.
Seeing as how I let my NSO standard subscription expire and no intentions of being locked into the Expansion Pass, I'm delighted that this game will be a standalone N64 purchase that I can be assured I can still play a decade beyond even when support for Switch gets dropped eventually!
@Switch_Pro Remakes don't count in your world? Even those that added new lore and forms of Pokemon.. Additionally, have full connectivity to the other mainline games of that generation and beyond? Odd..
Do people really take IGN's opinions and reviews seriously in modern times?
I hope Alm is back as well. Of the two, I thought Alm was the more popular. But probably has female bias if they had to choose 1; they neglected both as a pair in FE Warriors only adding Celica representing Echoes and I hope to goodness sake that they don't repeat that with this game.. Alm is a beast, love the character, wanna see more of him outside his main game.
@HalloHerrNoob More of Gym Leader Blue diversity please. Or take the Pokemon Stadium approach and give Gym Leaders Pokes outside their type preference that makes sense and makes use of their type, through moves.
@Dev9417 It being expensive is a blessing. Money sinkhole's are healthy for the game. Splatoon 3 really went out of its way to make sure there's plentiful ways to make use of cash other than ordering gear from other players, Splatnet gear, and Scrubbing so that money won't stockpile to the maximum like in Splatoon 2 for many who regularly played.
You really just want to try it out once a day spending the discounted price while saving up to upgrade your gear. It having the one roll at a discounted price per day incentives the player to come back daily too; it's genius.
@johnvboy Do you feel satisfaction for not spending a cent on a game designed to entice people in spending money? I often find you in these mobile related articles gloating you don't like an echo chamber so I have to ask. You bring up majority and minority at a similar rate, but you realize we're the minority that doesn't mind being drip-fed content whereass the majority, weaker-willed, have funded this game be it a 20 bucks or pocket change to secure the content right then without tedious grind. It's why this game is still afloat.
I'm sure there's some pictures during the time SSBU was in the middle of development; they would be really intriguing. Use those when the ones with references or just outright silly pictures are used up!
Seeing how much MK9 Tour tracks make it in every single wave instead of focusing more on MK8 prior installment courses kinda saddens me. There's no way we will be getting every Tour originated track, so why not save them all for MK10 so that more retro tracks can get a new surge of life, ones not ever been remade moreso??
The fire starter will be bipedal as will all of them. That's the trend with how these final starter evolution turn out since, I wanna say 6th gen. Gamefreak making them more and more human like or 'humanoid' since it's more appealing to children having your first partner Poke at similar height lengths, I guess.
Nothing Pokemon can do in their mainline games from here on will top the Pokemon World Tournament for me. All current gym leaders and champions 'til that point to face off against was the best fanservice offered by Gamefreak during their peak. You know they won't do that again.
So that means the game is done, what you see is what you get, and the time until release is to manufacture more copies of the game and build further hype.
IF the unfortunate victim of Cancer manages to get it from them.
@dustinbriggs1991 What's wrong with Duck Hunt being an option; how could it not work? Nintendo can use their modified WiiU version that gave the game pointer controls. They'd have to restrict it to Joycons.
@mr-duster The problem lays in it not being an option for those that want to use the same party of Pokes, but don't want to switch any out to not be overleveled and easily sweep the mid to late game ridding of any remote of challenge. Pokemon X/Y and Sun/Moon it was optional. It wasn't until Pokemon Let's Go where the toggle-able option was cut out. It's not asking for much; there was a mod made for BDSP that toggled the EXP Share OFF a day or two after the release.
@Dethmunk The classic 'It's never happened to me so it must not be true'. My joycons were defective right out of the box with the same issue and I immediately sent it to Nintendo for a working pair, just so you know.
@Divinebovine 25 secs from full to depletion of a level 100 Blissey. Not half as bad as you say and not many are going to encounter this quirk in a casual playthrough. The Blissey health bar in D/P meme is so stale.
