Just finished FE: Awakening. by Seafarer on 2015-11-25 05:38:00 UTC Reply

By which I mean I've filled the support log, maxed my Renown, beaten all the DLC, and just finished my Lunatic+/Classic run.
To be fair, Lunatic+ is absurd. Earlygame is basically follow the specific strategies or get obliterated. After that, though, it kinda levels out. Except Ch. 18. That's just evil.
Now, of course, I'm out of things to do until Fates comes out. Well, such is life.

Okay, how about PokÃ©mon? by Seafarer on 2015-11-28 22:07:00 UTC Reply

I'm trying to get all the breedable hidden abilities. Unfortunately, I've reached the point where everything is either old events or Friend Safaris that I don't have. If anyone has anything off the following list that they could trade me, it'd be much appreciated.

Turtwig/Grotle/Torterra (Shell Armor)
Piplup/Prinplup/Empoleon (Defiant)
Pansage/Simisage (Overgrow)
Pansear/Simisear (Blaze)
Ferrothorn (Anticipation)
Litwick/Lampent/Chandelure (Infiltrator)
Fennekin/Braixen/Delphox (Magician)
Bunnelby/Diggersby (Huge Power)
Scatterbug/Spewpa/Vivillon (Friend Guard)
Litleo/Pyroar (Moxie)
Flabébé-Y/Floette-Y/Florges-Y (Symbiosis)
Flabébé-B/Floette-B/Florges-B (Symbiosis)
Skiddo/Gogoat (Grass Pelt)
Espurr/Meowstic (Own Tempo/Prankster/Competitive)
Swirlix/Slurpuff (Unburden)
Inkay/Malamar (Infiltrator)
Helioptile/Heliolisk (Solar Power)
Pumpkaboo-A/Gourgeist-A (Insomnia)

(Oh, and if you have a spare Lansat/Starf Berry or Sail Fossil floating around, that'd be appreciated too.)

If you're missing anything not on the above list, I can probably get one for you, so feel free to ask.
Congrats. by Hardric on 2015-11-26 07:02:00 UTC Reply

100%, the only moment when you can say that you've really finished a game. If you want more suggestions about games, why not playing the Devil Survivor games? The combat system isn't to different from FE, the difficulty is there if you don't grind like mad, there is several paths in order to finish the game ... giving them a try is worth it (though you also would have to look for some path guides too. Guide Dang It moments are the worst in any game).

I'll keep that in mind. by Seafarer on 2015-11-26 07:28:00 UTC Reply

Of course, with Xenoblade X coming out in *checks date* nine days, I probably won't need anything else for a while.

100% completion never really seemed too important (perhaps because Pokémon has gone into "you want 100% completion? lol no. Enjoy completing the Pokédex in seven different languages" mode). Mostly I just complete the storyline. But something about Awakening just kept dragging me back. Maybe it was Tharja's hexes?

It surely was. by Hardric on 2015-11-26 07:42:00 UTC Reply

Since it was their last chance, you can bet they asked er to curse the games so the pllayers would always come back to them. When I said 100% completion, must admit I was more thinking about the storyline and anything linked about it.

Besides, if a game has got multiple endings, I always want to reach the best endings, whence my suggeston about guides.

You know... by Seafarer on 2015-11-26 07:54:00 UTC Reply

I don't think I've ever ~~played~~ finished a game with more than a normal and a 100% ending. Weird.

Don't sweat it, anyone enjoy games in his own way. (nm) by Hardric on 2015-11-26 07:57:00 UTC Reply

Hey, congrats! by SeaTurtle on 2015-11-26 03:03:00 UTC Reply

I tried playing Lunatic once. It didn't end well. Who is your favourite character, by the way?

If you're looking for game suggestions, I recommend picking up Bravely Default. It's a JRPG à la Final Fantasy-- in fact, it's a Square Enix game. The characters, art design, and story are really good.

I actually already have Bravely Default. I got about four hours in when it came out, then got distracted, and I've been meaning to go back to it for some time.

My favourite character is Henry, easily. He's the funniest character in the game. ^_^ For combat, though, I prefer Laurent and Morgan, who were my endgame gods of annihilation in both of my Luna+ runs.

Ah, Lunatic. When I did Lunatic, I was a complete noob. I did Frederick Emblem then full-grind. Lunatic+ has a habit of killing Frederick in five seconds flat, though, so I had to get smarter for that. Maybe I should play through it again, just for the lulz. I mean, nine cleared files clearly isn't enough, right?
