Sceptilesolar 02/20/18 4:36:22 PM #87 | I think the version I had gave it "Whenever a creature dealt damage by this creature this turn dies, this creature fights another target creature." until end of turn, then had it fight another target creature, or something like that. Stick a 'may' on there and it should work. My card was rare though since there are some shenanigans you can get into. --- Just killing time until the world ends. |

Unless you want to of course--it's a major reason why a lot of people like their games. The style of this and ToCS is nearly identical, so yes, it is applicable. --- Just killing time until the world ends. |

Sceptilesolar 02/19/18 10:58:19 PM #17 | Can you even do that on a first run? Since you have limited affinity shards anyway. You can't in ToCS. If that's the case I think playing blind is a lot better. If you like it enough to replay and try to max everything out, then sure, use a guide for that run, but it's not worth it for the first time through. --- Just killing time until the world ends. |

Not sure if you have map travel yet but as far as I know anyone with a portrait in the map has bonding events, though not necessarily in that chapter. One thing you might not know about Falcom games is that there are about a million named characters that would normally just be background, like Karen who you mentioned. --- Just killing time until the world ends. |

Topic | Leonhart Ranks 124 User Nominated Games: Part 2 |
Sceptilesolar 02/19/18 5:56:20 PM #96 | I waver between Episode 5 and 7 being the best. 5 has the best climax of any episode and large amounts of Erika who I am a massive fan of, but Episode 7 is kind of 'what Umineko is all about' and I have to give it some recognition for that. It's pretty great altogether though and I never had any problems with how it wrapped up. --- Just killing time until the world ends. |

Sceptilesolar 02/19/18 3:48:42 PM #2 | Can't comment on Wolf's Rain, but Brotherhood tells a complete story. It skips through early chapters of the manga, but at that time the story hadn't been set and so those chapters are mostly filler. You're fine just watching that, and it would be my recommendation. --- Just killing time until the world ends. |

I also saw the anime first which colored my expectations a good amount. My answer to the bonus question is probably Persona 4, which is also my favorite game. A lot of my favorite games do have multiple endings though. --- Just killing time until the world ends. |

It's a little awkward that your RG spell gives first strike and then fights. Not sure if there's a better way to do it though. Maybe a 'fight' that isn't simultaneous? --- Just killing time until the world ends. |

Sceptilesolar 02/06/18 8:31:23 PM #31 | Junpei is great in Persona 3, I really think his interactions with the party work really well, and his character development is probably the best executed of all of the cast. Yosuke is a fine character but he's a fine character among a great cast, whereas Junpei is a great character among a fine cast. --- Just killing time until the world ends. |

Sceptilesolar 02/05/18 12:17:14 PM #299 | My thoughts about Delta correlate roughly to my thoughts about the game as a whole. I didn't like the plot and where it went, and Delta embodies that, so I don't like Delta. Complex motives doesn't help though. --- Just killing time until the world ends. |

Topic | KP'S Top 40 Characters - Featuring Dante From The Devil May Cry Series |
Sceptilesolar 02/04/18 11:52:40 AM #110 | I might not remember the game that well, but I don't think she was ever particularly opposed to working with Laphicet or Eizen when she joined up or treated them badly? That seems to suggest she was not bigoted like you claim. It's been a year since I played it, but I never felt like she had a particularly strong view about the malaks being tools. It was just something the church told her that didn't carry over into actual practice. EDIT: As opposed to Oscar and Teresa who definitely do act in the way you describe. And she was clearly not willing to do anything because Artorius said so. Rather, it's because Artorius told her to do things she wasn't willing to do that she broke away from him! --- Just killing time until the world ends. |

Sceptilesolar 02/01/18 1:06:26 PM #228 | Axl_Rose_85 posted... Just came in to say AAI2's Justine Courtney is one of the worst AA characters and by far the worst rival character in the series. I'm playing the beginning of case 4 and she has been such a terrible all-round character since her introduction that she is actually starting to get under my skin. If the developers were trying to make her a hateable character, then good freaking job but somehow I don't think it was their intention. I wish you wouldn't perpetuate the misconception of 'character I don't like' = 'bad character'. It makes discussion difficult. --- Just killing time until the world ends. |

Sceptilesolar 01/30/18 1:55:22 PM #187 | Thinking about the artifact matters question again, my issue with it is basically that I think the answers might be badly chosen. The structure of the problem is fundamentally that there are five answers that all have a hidden probability to them and that you have to determine which one has the greatest. I think that to make that work, you'd either want it so one answer will happen 100% of the time and the others have less than 100%, or you'd want four answers to happen 0% of the time and the other to have more than 0%. But I don't think either applies here. You end up having to estimate kind of off the cuff and hope you share the questioner's estimation. If you're choosing between like 80% and 50% and 30% it's kind of hard to make those distinctions unless your thought process is very close to the questioner's. So either the question is really high-level, there's something I missed, or it was stupid. --- Just killing time until the world ends. |

Sceptilesolar 01/30/18 12:21:57 PM #180 | The only one I'm really interested in is the UR artifact matters question about how they would change it, because I've never seen anything close to an ironclad answer. I don't think it's strange to have it use a fixed number but I also don't see why that's more compelling than really anything else. --- Just killing time until the world ends. |
