What are the odds I would pull up the forums again and actually catch the one relevant thread for me -relatively- soon after it was posted? It must've been meant to be. I'm fashionably late as usual, but better late than never, right? Anyway, congrats on graduating, Ark! You always were one of my favorite people when I was actually active here, so it's kind of bittersweet to hear about your departure. That being said, I'm glad to hear I had any sort of influence on your time here, because you definitely influenced mine. I can't say I've had any impact towards that effect in recent years as I haven't really been around, but if you ever want to talk or do anything, you can hit me up wherever. Otherwise, best of luck to you and congrats again! Good luck in your field!

As far as I know, there are no special requirements to participate in the community release other than being a member on the forums. After the beta testing, community testing is the next stage, and Ame will post a thread in the News and Announcements section with a link to download it. Here's the page for Episode 16's community test, as an example: So you pretty much just need to wait. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Just found this artist today. He's super good and makes pretty original songs, but he's also got a really small following right now. I wouldn't be surprised if he blew up later down the line though. The only kinda similar artist I can think of is The Avalanches. Here are three of my favorites from his first album (and only album as of now). The whole album's great though.

Happy Birthday Ark! Hope everything's good!

Indeed I could.

MEDIATOR PERSONALITY (INFP, -A/-T) Mediator personalities are true idealists, always looking for the hint of good in even the worst of people and events, searching for ways to make things better. While they may be perceived as calm, reserved, or even shy, Mediators have an inner flame and passion that can truly shine. Comprising just 4% of the population, the risk of feeling misunderstood is unfortunately high for the Mediator personality type – but when they find like-minded people to spend their time with, the harmony they feel will be a fountain of joy and inspiration. Here's the rest if anyone's interested: I'd say this is pretty accurate for most aspects of me.

1. Originally, I found Reborn because of the Reborn game. (Surprisingly, not through Shofu as many others did around my time.) I downloaded the game, but never made an account or even browsed the forums until I saw the thread for Acquiescent's roleplaying thread, Pokemon Aftermath. It sounded really cool, so I made a forum account and signed up. From there, I was involved in the RP forum for a long time, before eventually branching off and doing whatever it is I do around here now. 2. Fondest memory... That's a tough one. My time in the RP section has a really special feeling to it, as it's where I met most of the people around here that I'd call friends. If not that, then the Foxening for sure. Starting that "event" and working with Dan on it to convert people to foxes against their will was a blast and it was really fun to see everybody's reactions to how big it got. We even got Ame herself in on it. 3. Favorite Pokemon has always been Cyndaquil, ever since I was a kid. I never evolve it in any of the games and always raise it to level 100 once I get it. Pokemon Silver was also my first Pokemon game, so that probably influenced me as well. Aggron and Nidoking come close after though. Abra's cool too. 4. My first thought is Kayaba Akihiko from Sword Art Online, but I'm not sure if that's necessarily the best answer. I definitely relate to him and like him as a character, but there are so many fictional characters out there that I feel like it's really easy to forget one that might be a better fit. Handa Seishu from Barakamon might be another potential answer, but I feel like I don't really have the same dedication as him to make it a good fit. Now that I'm going through a bunch of characters in my head, I'm realizing that I can also kind of relate to Hayato from Oregairu in a lot of ways. I've never thought about how he and I are similar before, but I can kind of see it now. Not in all ways, but definitely some. I'd say out of the characters I can think of now, it'd be one of those 3. 1. This... is a hard question. Maybe my mom? That feels like kind of a cop out answer though, but she's honestly done so much for me. I'm not sure if I can really confidently pick a person for this though. 2. Also kind of hard. Picking one moment is hard, but as a whole, the happiest I've felt has probably been a couple occasions this past year. There's a co-worker of mine that I'll admit being interested in, and spending time with her laughing and having fun, and having at least a friend-level relationship has really been great. Any time I found a sign that she might be interested in me as well was certainly a happiness boost as well too, so I'd say probably those moments. As for the saddest... Honestly, it revolves around the same person. Conversely to the aforementioned situations, whenever I saw something that made me really think she might not be interested the same way I am kind of hurts... it's bittersweet at least. Especially with recent events, I feel like things have changed and might not ever be quite the same. I've only got until the end of the summer until she leaves anyway, so the saddest so far has been those times. Maybe these are trivial answers, but I haven't had anything terribly tragic happen to me yet. I'm sure that in the near future these will probably no longer be my happiest or saddest times as I move on, but as for now, that's that. 3. I feel like I was supposed to respond to this by recording my voice. Anyway, I'm perfectly willing to if people actually want it. Just too lazy to do it if nobody cares. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I've recently started to try to get back in the swing of things after taking a couple months break from the forums and Reborn in general, so some of you might not even know who I am. I figure this might be a good way to reconnect, at least a little bit. Anyway, I've done one (fairly unsuccessful) AMA in the past, so I figure I'll give it another (fairly unsuccessful) go again. Ask me anything and everything. Nothing is out of play aside from stuff like my SS number and other important info. You don't get that. I'll do my best and give you an honest answer. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯¯\_(ツ)_/¯¯\_(ツ)_/¯¯\_(ツ)_/¯¯\_(ツ)_/¯¯\_(ツ)_/¯¯\_(ツ)_/¯¯\_(ツ)_/¯¯\_(ツ)_/¯¯\_(ツ)_/¯¯\_(ツ)_/¯¯\_(ツ)_/¯¯\_(ツ)_/¯¯\_(ツ)_/¯¯\_(ツ)_/¯¯\_(ツ)_/¯

My old statuses mostly just make me cringe :[

How can you like Jing Wei? Favorite setting for a story (in general)? Favorite video game? Favorite type of weather? Related to the above, and possibly the same, if weather had to be static for the rest of time, which kind of weather would you want it to be? (Let's ignore what's necessary for growth and life and just say based on aesthetics. The same food and all that is somehow provided regardless.) What are your 3 biggest pet peeves? Which character (either PC or NPC) from Reborn's roleplaying section is your favorite, excluding your own characters? (Also which RP are they from in case I want to read up a bit on it? :3)

Wow, I've never seen this. Interesting...

It's a picture of Kayaba Akihiko from the ending of Sword Art Online. I edited out the background and changed some colors around so he'd fit better in the new background I'm using, which is from the intro to SAO. I've been using this one for a looong time now, mostly because I really like the character, and can kind of identify with him in some ways. Strangely enough, I like his bland appearance, and the pose in this picture especially is one that I think is a good fit for my image around here.

I suppose you do have a point about BE, though I can't really say for sure as I don't have any of "those" characters in that game to see for myself how easy it becomes. In all honesty, I've pretty much quit that game too (Granblue Fantasy is where pretty much any mobile gaming time I have is spent), though I still do enjoy it far more than Heroes. The upgrade system is far more achievable, the equipment and ability customization adds a lot to the game that Heroes doesn't have, and party composition allows for more play styles. If Heroes just played like a normal Fire Emblem game with the Mobile Gacha system, I think I'd like it a lot more. It's not like the hardware can't handle it, so I suppose it just bothers me since it feels like they're taking multiple steps down from a normal Fire Emblem game.

Got 5* Marth my second day playing this game, which was cool since he's my Melee main and one of my favorite Fire Emblem characters in general. I don't play anymore though. I finished as far as the story currently goes, did a few more maps on hard for exp, and then uninstalled it. I personally found the gameplay too simple/easy, the maps too small, and the story too bland to keep with it. I also found the artwork to be pretty shabby in a lot of cases (though there are some good ones too), and the 5*s are a little too OP for my taste, given how relatively easy they are to come across compared to similar Gacha games. To me, Brave Exvius and Granblue are both superior in gameplay, content, artwork, and overall depth. That being said, it seems to be popular here, so maybe I'll give it another go. I can at least share my code if anyone wants it, though I'd have to redownload the game. Have they added the option to use a friend's character at all? I know other games have features like this, but I don't remember Heroes having it. I don't really see the incentive to add multiple people without it though.
