I don't have experience with the franchise prior to Awakening, but I'd go for that one as well. for the reasons that Ame stated + a little minority of characters might... appreciate it if you have played Awakening before Awakening is a full game in itself, while for Fates you (theoretically) need to get all three paths. I like both of them a lot, but stretching Fates over three games imo eventually hurt the final path, both in the necessary endurance to put that many hours in (depending on difficulty I guess) and plotwise.

Ame is a r-really nice person. don't be afraid. ok you can take the tip of that umbrella away from my eye now... pleeeease?

You might very well be right! I was rushing it because I had to catch my train. will give it a second playthrough tomomomomorrow, what an outrageous slip of the tongue. possibly 7/7

5/7 -1 for me only understanding the basic gist -1 because 6 of the 7 points are represented by stars and Jester is missing solid message

let's see I haven't played too many Zeldas, and only the N64 3d ones, so Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask are a start I would also recommend. if you feel comfortable to take on a rather puzzly-difficult challenge, try games older than those - like Oracle of Ages (original for Gameboy Color - first one I ever played, gave me more than one headache). The Minish Cap (GBA) is a rather cute adventure and not too difficult, but lots of fun!

out of all the languages you learn, do you have a "favourite" one? ...and if you are ever in need for a native German to explain/clarify/... stuff about it, I hereby offer my assistance!

mine shows Snake (also known as Naked Snake and later Big Boss) and EVA from Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater (for PS2 back in the days). from the whole series, which is my favourite of all time, it's the game I like most. Konami remade the game in the modern Fox engine - no, not to sell it, that would be exactly what fans would like. instead they used it for pachislot machines in Japan. they released some of the HD art as wallpapers and there were some trailers as advertisement - one of which luckily featured this scene, which was shown in my previous avatar as well, but in PS2 graphics. without going into any depth, EVA is trying to tempt the snake this time (reversing the scene from the bible) - however, love can bloom even on the battlefield (a main character asked about that in MGS1). I like the romance between the two on many levels ~

oh my, all this work going into Lin's Hydreigon while I have a feeling the battle itself won't be the biggest problem. as a matter of fact: Ame lost on purpose. Why? Ame and Lin secretly are very best childhood friends. Their favourite pastime was ripping heads off of spiders, oh, it were happy times. Their ways separated at some point, but given Lin's character as it is portrayed, she suffered severe emotional damage because of whatever happened after that. When finally meeting again, Ame instantly senses that change within her. Somewhere deep down resides old Lin, the happy, spider-head ripping Lin. That Lin doesn't like what she has become and of course is looking for a way out. Lin has often thought about the time, the time when her world was still okay, and she remembered the joy she shared with Ame during said pastime. Her innocent inner self never really understood the consequences, and the ruthless Lin that is visible to outsiders just doesn't care. Inner Lin decides to send Ame a message, her last cry for help, which is interpreted poorly by outer Lin, as there would have been twelve Pokemon available as messengers instead. She even raised her little Deino to become a Hydreigon, so she could have three chances in one to break free. Knowing her way around the inner workings of a human, Ame already thought of all that. Unwilling to hurt the Pokemon, she reached her final conclusion: If it comes to the worst, she would have to let it happen and be the ultimate sacrifice, the martyr-spider, so to speak, for the chance to bring Lin back to light. It didn't work. The end.
