Her ending does suggest that it takes the rest of her life for her to get rid of the noble system.

The rest of Edelgard's life is like 8 years. It's implied by Lysethia's backstory that the things done to Edelgard and Lysethia by the Slithers means they are dying around 30 or before it.

There is a bunch of stuff that suggests that her ideals aren't really realized. (looking at endings of various eagles and combo endings) Also she blatantly appoints people who are friends over people who would have been more qualified. None of the endings are actually all sunshines and rainbows tho.

I went Blue Lions first.

The characters were the most appealing to me personally. Ended up being my favorite route of the 3 routes I did.

AM>VW>CF for the routes I did. Still need to SS.

Majestic Prince I liked.

Yea that build is generally pretty good. It's a bit better on Ferdinand or Dimitri but yea. Felix can make pretty much anything work by virtue of being Felix.

Yea I still believe Krabby/Kingler.

They are bottom 5 both on the Sporcle Quiz. No one important or memorable uses them in any game. They are caught late in RBY and GSC and by RSE there are a billion more Water Pokemon you can fish. They are not that strong, they never received any love with a new Evolution.

Pinsir, Tangela, Slowpoke/Slowbro, Horsea/Seadra, Cubone/Marowak are likely the other contenders.

Rhydon is also notable for being the first pokemon ever.

The substitute animation clearly uses it as what is subbing in for your pokemon as well.

Also has the whole AIM FOR THE HORN meme if your going by Anime presence

It's Krabby/Kingler for sure.

Ultimecia is a fun final boss. Shrug.

8>10>6>7>12>9 is my feelings I think. The last 2 are very inferior to the other 4.

Best in what way?

Aesthetic? Likely CVS2

Freedom of options? Likely GGXXAC+R

Huge thriving playerbase? SF4

Woah that's Crazy? BBTag is pretty nuts

Spectator wise? MvC3

Titans

I feel like I'm going to regret this. But I feel like the Colts are pretty awful and the Titans are legit good.

Yea I found Seteth to be pretty insane as well. He has a bit of speed issues initially but his join stats are honestly pretty high. and 19 speed isn't that awful. He also starts with high ranks in Lance, Axe, Flying and Authority.

Growth wise yea he's Hilda with 20% more dex, 10% more magic, 10% less luck, 5% less def, 5% more res, 5% less Cha.

He also tends to support characters who end up in Flying classes often too. Ingrid, Hilda, Cyril, and I think someone else.

I personally think Seteth is better than Hilda. The proficiency difference is big with Authority alone, stat wise they'll be similar but Seteth will have a big lead in Dex, Seteth has a support lead on her and Seteth has a better innate crest, Seteth gets Swift Strikes which is a top tier combat arte. Hilda doesn't really get any great ones. They have almost the exact same personal skill. Except Seteth buffs Women and Hilda buffs Men.

(The real answer is you use both together and keep them together.)

The Challenge battles that are like twice a month on Hard are actually okay-ish difficulty. Most because the enemies are all massive stat sticks that Double pretty much all of your units. But if you have a high defense character that can face tank those are easy too.

Some of the Paralogues can get somewhat difficult. Marianne's and Manuela/Hanneman one are the main two I'm thinking of tho.

Nothing in the game is really all that hard tho. The enemy AI just isn't aggressive enough, the map designs are often too favorable to the player and they added a bunch of mechanics like Gambits and Combat arts and the CPU rarely uses Combat Artes and doesn't use most of the actually good Gambits.

Lions is pretty good. I've only done Deer and Lions tho.

The officials are awful in this Seattle/Cincinnati game. First they call a PI on something that was clean. Now they call an incomplete pass a fumble.

Seahawks were pretty safe. They haven't lost a home opener since 2008. They are also 14-0 at home in September since Pete Carroll has been there. Granted this is the worst the OLine has looked in quite a long time. Pocic, Ifedi and Brown got destroyed all game. Also Ross is a beast.
---

Whatever...

this is definitely conjecture but Have you noticed the Geography of which characters have what Crests? The Empire is pretty much loaded with 4 Saint Crests. Indech, Cichol, Cethleann, Mariul. Meanwhile the Alliance and Kingdom have 10 Elite crests. There is a support with one of the Blue Lions (Pretty sure it's Sylvain.) where he says having a Crest is important to defend the land from monsters. It keeps it liveable. Maybe Serios sent the 10 elites and their bloodlines there to expand the reach of Fodlan. Because it likely wasn't as liveable as the southern region which is stated to have good granaries and is easily defensible from invasion. The Northeast part of Fodlan has monsters and Almyrian attacks. So they sent a lot of the 10(11) elites there. Rewriting the history of it to cover it up doesn't seem too farfetched.

That's just my theory on it.

Whatever...

KoF and Garou have a lot of randomly good tracks. SNK isn't Square. They would throw in a ton of tracks. I fully expect Whatever Jazz-y theme of Terry's they like best, Geese theme, Arashi No Saxophone and Esaka. Then maybe some more.
---

Whatever...

Her Magic growth is quite good. Her Stat cap (Not that you'll reach these ever.) for it is her 4th highest after HP, Cha and Strength. She is definitely the best user of Bolt Axe other than maybe Annette. (She's better than Annette.)

Like she's better at Magic than she is at defense. She also has an okay-ish spell list. It's an option. Shrug.

Felix and Sylvain have budding talent reason too. And they actually have way less reason to go mage than Edelgard does.

The only class mistakes I regretted on my first run were Armor>Fortress Knight for Dedue. Made him completely worthless and Paladin>Great Knight for Sylvain. I should have just leveled his Flying and gone Wyvern Rider after Paladin. Great Knight was actually a downgrade for him because it lowered his base speed to the point of him getting doubled.

I actually did do Mortal Savant Felix and it was okay. He didn't get much speed while in it. But 35-ish was enough for pretty much the entire endgame. Having 3 range is somewhat nice. I don't think I would do it again tho.

My 2nd run has pretty much been Brigand>Wyvern town. Everyone is so powerful it's silly.

The whole point is that Edelgard is nothing but a power hungry tyrant, CR can fool someone who hasn't played the other routes that she's a freedom fighter (a freedom fighter who invades other nations) and that the church is run by a crazy dragon, but the big twist of the game is that the church isn't really evil and there's no justification for Edelgard's actions.The only thing that really bothers me is that CR ends with a "and Edelgard took care of TWSID and everything was fine" when at the end of CR she's still clearly being manipulated by them

Yep I completely agree. She is definitely the villain of the game on all routes. Even her own. But it's the prospective of each route that is important. I wish the marketing of the game wasn't so heavy on Black Eagles tho. I think it was said somewhere that 45% of people did BE first and I bet most of them did CR. I feel like that is the route your supposed to play last.

Well considering SNK had their own platform for a while. I think outside the SNES and the Switch they didn't really have a ton of cross over. A lot of the Switch's library right now is random SNK classics tho.

I would say likelihood would be like

1.Terry, 2.Iori, 3.Athena, 4. Marco, 5.Kyo, 6.Hoahmaru 7.There is nothing after this.

Terry really does make the most sense. He's basically been the companies main mascot other than the half decade where they tried to hard push Kyo. (Which is also the time the company was at it's absolute lowest.)

The Clowney trade is actually for Martin. The part of that trade no one is talking about.

Houston isn't getting off as badly as everyone is saying.

I think I've had 2 0 level ups? 1 on Catherine and the other on Lysethia. Was kind of shocked on both of them really since they are both heavily skewed towards 3 stats. I might have had more tho.

Lorenz is like top 10 in Growth Rates. His dump stat is luck too so he's pretty well rounded in general with his 350 total growth.

Edel> Dimitri> Claude=Ingrid=Byleth> Manuela> Seteth=Sylvain> Lorenz=Felix=Leonie> Petra=Hubert>etc

The lowest are Lysethia (280), Dedue (290), Raph (295), Glibert (300), Bernie (305). Edelgard has 105% growth rate on Lysethia.

Add that to his great flexibility, crest, Relic (Granted you can give it Lysethia or whatever you want to do.), his solid personal skill (+2 damage while in a battalion and his easy availability (Charm is easy to get, Reason is good on Byleth. He also is recruit-able post time skip on some routes if you missed him)

He's a very good unit.

Oh and speaking of "garb" teammates, here is a list of the top ten NBA finals champs in terms of lowest scoring supporting cast outside of the scoring leader. Notice anything?

10. 1994 Rockets - 68.3 PPG
9. 2006 Heat - 67.8 PPG
8. 1993 Bulls - 67.3 PPG
7. 2012 Heat - 67.0 PPG
6. 1996 Bulls - 66.7 PPG
5. 1992 Bulls - 65.9 PPG
4. 2004 Pistons - 65.6 PPG
3. 1999 Spurs - 65.2 PPG
2. 1997 Bulls - 61.5 PPG
1. 1998 Bulls - 60.8 PPG

I get where your coming from but this is not actually good information. The 90s was heavy ISO because of the rulings regarding Illegal Defense which forced 1 on 1s basically or automatically sent whoever was your best player to the line. Jordan was honestly the biggest benefactor of that rule in that era.

That being said. I don't believe Lebron is close to Jordan. I can see the Arguments for Russell, Kareem, Hakeem, and MAYBE Bird. But Lebron isn't a 2 way player. I don't believe someone with not great defense can be considered the greatest. Personally I think it's Kareem then Jordan but yea.

I'm curious how SamSho looks after Evo. Because I get the feeling a lot of people are excited to play a game that no one has labbed since it came out like a month ago. I think BBTag had the same thing going on last year.

I figured something was up with Misty/Vita. It was obviously tied to Emma because of the Lavender scene.

As for Crow. I had no idea until like the end of chapter 6 then it was kind of suspicious when he has a "cave in" on the way back then shows up like nothing happened or anyone saying they helped him out of that but it went back to happy school festival so it fell to the back of the mind. Definitely was done very well.

Soldats were the biggest surprise for me by far. Also it ending on a cliffhanger like it did. Last 10-ish minutes of the game was a real ride.

It's a charity thing that is a challenge run of Final Fantasy V. You sign up on their website and then tweet their bot what type of run you want to play. I'm playing Random. It gives me a class that I have access to at the time I roll it. So I will get one of the first 6 classes. So I set all 4 characters to that class until I reach the water crystal. Then you tweet the bot #Water (Etc for Fire and Earth) until you get all 4 jobs. The difficulty of the run is varied. Like the run Dante said earlier is actually really really easy for world 1 and most of world 2. Then it gets kind of hard. Meanwhile a run like mine is just easy period because I have a Blue Mage. (Broke) but it will require me to abuse all the broken Blue Magic stuff and my party does have very low HP so stuff like ExDeath 2 will be slightly annoying.

TFT is distracting me. I'm mid world 1 right now.

Blue Mage/Red Mage/Time Mage is what I have so far. I feel pretty confident that whatever my 4th class is doesn't matter.

I thought the battle system was very good. Altho some aspects of it are way too abusive. (Looking at you S-Breaks as a free action,Delay and Moebius.)

Most of the cast is pretty strong at something too. (Poor Gaius.)

why does this look so much more dignified and like it had way more effort put into it than the Secret of Mana remake that they phoned in hardcore

Is Trails of Mana a lot more popular than Secret of Mana in Japan? That's one possible reason I can think of that Trials got better treatment. But since this is Square Enix the real answer might be "it got lucky".

Yes but the reason is not the for the right reasons. Riesz is one of the more popular female video game characters in some circles. (Lewds)

Your not underleveled at all. That's about the normal-ish level to fight Shadow Kanji. You have a couple options if you want to get that done in 1 day (To have more days to do Persona 4 things)

There is a priestess persona called Sarasvati at level 17 who learns invigorate 2 at level 19 which restores 5SP a turn.
You can do laps doing the first couple floors of bathhouse then do the entire castle looking for SP regen items. if you have an encounter that wont die to just autoattacks then run from it. Eventually you'll get enough SP from Castle treasure chest items to beat him.
Or just power level more and brute force it but that might take quite a bit of time more so than the other two options.

What else in the Zelda-verse uses a Japanese name?

I'm gonna guess Kokiri and Deku.

Okay, fair, but those are in OOT, and the only other name that even sounds vaguely Japanese there is Gerudo. (At least, I don't think Dodongo sounds JP.) But Kakariko dates back to LTTP.

Pretty much all the races/species are very Japanese in naming and are translated exactly with no added/subtracted letters.
-Dodongo
-Gerudo
-Goron
-Zora
