Good first episode. Can't believe Lady Layton is getting 50 episodes.

At this rate ill probably never watch these idol animes, but i sure do enjoy the songs at least, and this stuff sounds nice.

FEH livestream ended. New conquest mode thing, Thracia 776 finally gets a fucking rep, Roy and Lilina buffs are pretty good, and 20 free orbs, just in time for me to reach 5 fucking % on the bunny banner for Sharena. And this is also knowing that I'm gonna get pity broken by some dbag

New Etrian odyssey game revealed guys
https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/400-current-events/76502062
---

Yeah they fucking skipped 6~9

In all seriousness, are they gonna start doing like

EO 1~5
EOU 1~2
EOX 1~

Maybe they should also take the time to rename the series into something more appropriate, considering "Etrian" Odyssey doesn't make sense for every game but EO/U1

Is farming HR armor sets in 4U worth it before I start G rank stuff? Like on the Seregios armor for example there doesn't seem to be a huge difference in their fully upgraded defense per piece, but the G rank one has the better skill(Steady Hand vs. Mind's Eye) and slots. I've been kinda just making and upgrading whatever comes my way which ended up being A.Rathalos/P.Rathian armor.

I just desperately used my friend points to get 9 members of each. I hardly ever use them otherwise, so I still have like 100k left over.

Shit I never thought about using my friend points like that. I only ever burn through them to level up new cards I wanna keep.

lmfao god damnit.

also i forgot to comment @Leanaunfurled about the darling ep

I really hope that now that hiro recovered his memories, and 02 realized hiro remembers her, and after all the fucking disgusting shit they did to 02, they just go back to the plantation and fuck that place up, it'll probably happen, but gotta have some inner struggle in the group first, i suspect ichigo wont agree with this, neither will zorome maybe, i can see mitsuru agreeing if hiro tells him he remembers him now?

But yeah that ending of the episode had me tearing a bit, i'm just a sucker for romance, also it's kinda funny, 02 wanted to become human so she could be with her darling, meanwhile hiro has been slowly becoming a klaxosaur kinda like 02, so i guess that solves that issue lmao

If you have access to the G-Rank version, go for it, i think i remember using seregios armor for a long while till i got a better G-rank armor.

I laughed like crazy when the Reinhardt alt was announced. The 5* pool cleanup is a very, very welcome change. No more Merrics!

rathian armor is pretty meme

generally i like to make a high rank set in 4U to use in early G, stygian zinogre is my pref

The original Japanese name was world of yggsdrissal or something and that actually made sense since the games are all about different worlds with the yggsdrissal tree that plays a huge part in the story. It's resident evil (original name is biohazard) all over again lol

Yup. It's Sekaiju no Meikyuu (), which roughly translates to "Labyrinth of the World Tree"

Yeah Atlus didn't wanna coincide with a game that was released near the first EO, Yggdra Union, so they named the game after the town of the first game. But I guess they were never told that other towns wouldn't share "Etria"
---

I've been playing the Danmachi game and the Pass Parade part of the series just reminds me of when I forget to bring some warp wire when delving into the deeper parts of Etrian Odyssey.
---

lol Labyrinth of the World Tree was a good name, it wouldn't coincide with Yggdra Union either. American localizations don't seem to like direct translations though.
---

I don't mind etrian odyssey to be honest, even if the "etria" part of the name applies only to 1, they could always retcon it to mean etria as the world.

I still remember all those fun trains in Clan Crushbone when I was leveling. Great stuff

I never played Everquest and I feel like I missed out on a lot.

Finished ep 1 of Gun Gale Online, this is legit fun, main girl is adorable as hell and hot as hell IRL

This is seriously good, hopefully they don't shoehorn kiriturd and assna into this.

Chrono Ma:Gia is available for download. I don't know if it's official yet though, as people are reporting that the servers are not fully functional for all regions, and some people are only seeing the download on rooted phones.

I'd say wait for Apr 11th to download since that was the release date they teased

It was definitely a good time back then. It's still around now, though I don't think I could get back into it, different times and all (and who knows what expansion it's on now >_>). Plus I'm playing FFXIV and twoo MMOs is too much

legendarylemur posted...

Works fine for me actually. Sick... I'm gonna regret playing this right now when I should already be asleep. Why do I do this to myself?

Dedication!

Yeah, LLENN was awesome in that first episode. Great reaction gif material too:

Asuna never played GGO in the LN/anime canon (gameverse canon is different) and this spin-off takes place after the events of the GGO arc of the main SAO series, so it's doubtful that Kirito will appear as anything but a very brief cameo. We may see Sinon at one point, but besides her, seeing any of the main SAO cast is very unlikely.
---

Oh yeah, since you guys were talking about mobile games like FEH and Chrono MaGia, I may as well chime in about another mobile game I tried.



This PreCure puzzle game I downloaded is really fun. There is a gacha in the game to pull the different characters you can use, but new players receive passes that can be used to recruit a 3-star Cure and 4-star Cure of their choice, so I just used those on my two favorites in the franchise and haven't used anyone else. I'm pretty sure the game can be fully beaten using one character alone if so desired.

Lol you and I are probably the only ones here that would understand the Dynamic joke lol. Also it seems we're the only proper mecha fans here but I'm glad that you're here.

Me and GiftedACIII are Fafner fans. Have you watched that series yet? It's really good and one of my most favourite anime series.

Probably so and probably so again, haha. I'm a mecha man through and through, ever since I was a kid. Pic related:



So it's great to encounter another user of refined tastes (pic related again, ha) in the wild. I was probably wearing on all the fine folk around here with all my robot nonsense, but at least when something like CHU comes up we can lend a unique insight for them, huh.

I haven't seen Fafner yet but the first series set's been on my radar for awhile. I think I might just pick it up...

Ayy fafner's pretty cool. But if the first season starts lagging a bit don't get worried, the movie and exodus more than makes up for it (too bad exodus ends on a cliffhanger >_> but eh new season is coming up)
I think I recall @Cookie_Bag was going to watch it too or something.

@Juhanor

Yeah you need to get to watching Fafner. Trust us, it's really awesome. But requires you to get through the first half before it becomes really amazing in the second half, the movie and Exodus.

Also, why don't you bump up Fafner to high on your priority list @Cookie_Bag

You'll be getting to watch a really awesome anime series that I'm sure is better than some of the generic anime you might watch before Fafner.

The very last scene of DxD S3 actually went with the whole it was just a dream thing.
---

Wait so I don't have to watch born to watch the new DxD?

Cuz I asked for a synopsis last time and forgot to read back cuz I was busy with stuff. Felt bad in case somebody did give me a synopsis.

But if it's retconned I feel less scared about jumping back in cuz I don't remember a whole lot for this series other than the thought of "why are these hot girls all jumping on this guy?" I get it for Asia though cuz well he's helped her out quite a bit. Others seem circumstantial at best

Btw, for anybody playing Chrono Magia, add me 138147. Dunno if there's a benefit other than just friend dueling. Dueled with an irl friend and was a blast. Beat him both times tho lul

how does chrono magia play like?

how does chrono magia play like?

It's very good. I wrote a long first impressions here https://www.reddit.com/r/chronomagia/comments/8barah/first_impressions_what_i_love_already_what_i/

Meanwhile, tl;dr, feels wise it plays very similarly to early years of Hearthstone but a few levels more complex right off the bat.

Imo content-wise, it suffers from the earlymobageitis, where I know more stuff's gonna come in the future, but for now, I can see a bottleneck on content and "coin" (in-game currency to buy cards).

I played with some friends, and it was a blast. We all had a very different approach to the game, but I WON EVERY GAME BABEEHHH

I like just trying out various 1v1 TCGs to see how they do their mechanics so I'll probably look at it at some point. If gathering cards is that much of a main though I'll probably just end up playing through the story mode and then uninstalling <_<

need to clear up some space on my phone though first since I'm at like 50mb free

Well for now, the default set of cards you start with are actually quite good (with the ability to reroll for better cards but eh I'm usually the guy to just go with what I got). And you do get 2 cards for free every day along with a bunch of free packs from doing mission. What I was talking about in the impression is down the line, there might be a few months of not being able to pull packs.

And you also can't modify single player decks, so if you wanna try using the new cards you got, you need to do AI battle or free battle. Single player is really simple and might give you a false impression of how using custom decks go. AI battle is where you'll get wrecked by its surprisingly robust AI and realize there's more to the game

apparently I can but have to go through like, unofficial channels or whatever. The sort that require rooting your phone and backing up all your stuff and etc

I guess my phone's pretty old if it doesn't have vendor support for a software version that released late 2015

He was marginally less detestable because he felt bad about all the stuff he said about Bell in the tavern, but yes, he's a dick.

and @kirbymuncher I finally started al fine in Symphonic Rain and what the fuck the rain is a hallucination?! I need to replay all the routes with the knowledge about Arie's letters and Chris' condition when I'm done this route.

Yikes lol. Yeah this game has a lot of moving parts. I can only see some of the newer phones run it effectively. Mine's only about a year old and is still holding up

To those of you guys who watched Laid Back Camp last season... anyone happen to know where I can download the little chibi face icons of the girls that show up when their text conversations show up on the screen?

I also want this. Search of Chiaki (one of the main 5 with the smaller number of images) on pixiv turned up nothing. I do not have the time to brave the storm of Nadeshiko pictures to find the source.
