Maqqy

How does Maqqy have the time to play Three Houses and Sword and Shield?

Easy... sleep is off limits

Indeed! Now if you have online perhaps we could trade starter eggs

I don’t have online unfortunately

oof, rip. 

Concerning Ingrid, it all comes down whether you hit that 35% strength growth or not. So yeah, I can relate. I had the useful last playthrough and right now I have the broken. Thanks god it's happening in Maddening.

I've had to do blue lions twice because of a miss save, both times her strength and magic just did not grow. Heck, the first time Mercedes had better strength... 

Oof. Well, no one to blame except Sylvain who’s always distracting her. 
 

Ty for the advice guys, I’ll be sure to keep her in check

Eventually, a random guy next table joined the conversation

Yooo lmao that is so dope  

I'm still immersed on my first BE playthrough. I didn't know that guiding these weirdos and setting goals would be so much fun. Should I get a job as a professor lol.

Instruct = Win. There is so much fun experiencing the possibilities. Enjoy! BE is an amazing cast!

you were saying? :]

Different leaker, it seems. The first guy got cut off from his source due to recklessly endangering them for personal gain.

I TAKE IT BACK Impidimp's evo is SICK my prayers have been answered hell yes

Fates and Awakening based the ending certain characters got based on their S rank. However, in 3h the highest you can get is A(a+) so instead it's based on who fight next to each other more often. Meaning if you wanna "hook up" some of them you gotta base your tactics around that...

Ooh wee. It was more simple back then. Though I like the idea of it now being based on realism. The more you fight with each other the more you bond too. It’s like a shonen manga lol.

I get that, but it kinda rubs me wrong as it messed with a few of my endings 

Fax

I hope this cheers you up, even if a little

Yup. Reach for my hand 

It also showed some snippets I've never seen before. T'was a delight.

Update: Mock battle was fun 

Just wait for the mentioned Battle of the Eagle and Lion, that music there is amazing 

that's just part of the experience~

Always be afraid of getting too attached. Always

this... for you... 

Do you want me to choke... cause I wouldn’t mind

I hope they keep it up till november because Pokemon has a history of having the game datamined near the day of release. 
 

Can you believe it? We’re only 20 days left till 15th time flies so fast.

So they ask in the secret Pokemon Club if the members wanted to see the starters' evolutions revealed or not (back in early October, iirc), and a majority said yes, but they still haven't released at least the second evolutions yet.

It does? It's felt like a long time to me. Am I in a Trick Room or something?

As much as I want to say "sneak a small game inbetween!", 3 Houses does look super good from what I've seen. makes me want a switch more. 

Still, I'm currently trying to get all the way through fates properly this time, so...

I’ve actually never played any fire emblem game besides heroes, so this will be my first time playing a core game of the franchise.

I also just started a while ago and.... I am amazed

Yup

But Pokemon that can Gigantamax could also be able to Dynamax, correct? @Autumn Zephyr

As things currently appear, no- if a Pokemon can Gigantimax, it always will. However, only some individuals of the species will actually be able to Gigantimax in the first place, so it'll still be possible to Dynamax a butterfree normally if you really don't like G-Max Befuddle, for example.

That said, there is a fair bit we don't know about the mechanics quite yet. Like, is the HP bonus percentage based or a fixed BST increase? Does it do anything other than raise HP and change attacks? It's all quite the enigma at the moment.

Let’s just hope they somewhat execute this wonderfully. Dynamax as a whole seems just like a rip off mega evolution right now for most people, so hopefully they compensate that with actual non-broken mechanics this time.

Though it seems that’s hardly gonna happen, when GF gives 0 f for balance. Hope they change my mind.

Must protect at all costs.

Little did Insurgence know, true mega eevee just has more fluff!

I love Mega Eevee for insurgence too! Especially that broken arse ability.

you too! even if it's not your birthday!

Yes of course! I bought it around a month ago, but I don’t play it much 

Um, why??? You’re missing out

Too many games, too little times

Yes

Congrats!

Hey now, I did warn you to keep the other team up to snuff. I just couldn't go into any more detail without spoiling the surprise completely~

Anyway, congratz on doing what the pantheon (...somehow?) could not! Nice to hear that you've enjoyed the game as much as you have.

The art on the official twitter page strongly implies that the bulk of team's going to be returning to the Bravely series next, though, so that mobile game will have to tide you over in regards to Octopath content for a good while. Whoops...

holds your hand

Clutches your hand tightly

Update: The human form of stupidity that is I, left my laptop unplugged for two hours because of errands so it died yep and the dungeon is basically a gauntlet elite four type with no save points.

Prayed for a miracle on an autosave but sigh. This kinda reminds me of my no saving traumas in past pokemon games. You think a person would learn by now. Fuey.

Whoops, that's unfortunate. Even the best of us tend to still make mistakes with saving, though, and you were at least only past two of them instead of seven or something...

...I misinterpreted 'Transfer Rune works really well with [Therion's] skills" as "Transfer Rune interacts with Therion's skills directly", and was really confused until I realized that were probably referring to Armor Corrosive's ability to increase the damage output of everyone across the board. Whoops. Bit of an important distinction, since Transfer Rune can affect some of the Travelers' skills the same way it effects the Runes themselves.

...Including Olberic's Incite, which kinda defeats the whole point of the move in the first place~

I will say that from a pure optimization standpoint, only one of your main team is in their "ideal Job". Though that isn't exactly too big a deal, seeing as I've yet to see even the most stringent powergamers bring themselves to give the Sorcerer to anyone other than Cyrus anyway (outside of themed runs that 'ban' him, of course). Guess nobody wants to lose out on Dr. Strange Lite, huh?

Though it is probably worth noting that said powergamers wouldn't be caught dead having someone as a Starseer in their final team- even with Shooting Stars (three elements, all at once in a single spell! What are you fools doing?!) and Steorra's Prophecy wrecking havoc, they still prefer to treat it as little more than a rocky road they have to suffer through in order to reach BP Eater. It's just kinda sad, really...

Anyway, good luck storming the Gate! Things are pretty tricky on the other side, but probably not a whole lot you haven't seen before, so be sure to give it all out!

...I do have one last bit of advice, but it is technically a mechanical spoiler, so don't open the tab if you want to go in completely fresh:

Yo, Steorra and Winnehild’s divine skill are so OP I could probably OHKO a single dungeon boss in using one of these moves. I do agree that I rarely use most of the Starseer’s skills but her divine skill and shooting star are so useful in battle sometimes and they do the job. So powergamers, you can’t sit with us.

Thank you for the insight. Yea, my team is not really uber material for competitive cause so I’ll probably be switching it up and play with some synergies a bit more. Though I’ll probably stick with this one. 
 

Thanks for accompanying through the end Autumn in a way You kinda became my mentor this whole playthrough lol

Funny you should mention Winnehild's Battle Cry- that skill on Ha'anit is the strongest attack in the game~ Well, with a little bit of extra setup, anyway. But even without that, it is still a terrifyingly powerful barrage of blades from seemingly all directions, and it's really, really hard to stand strong against something like that!

Ah, don't worry about it! It's been pretty fun being to help out on my end.

Serebii: Edit @ 23:10: The Pokémon showed up again, but when it got startled before it got in full view, its mane lit up in a rainbow colour. It makes a similar sound to Ponyta in Pokémon Refresh in previous games

I want a Rainbow Ponyta  

Also Maqqy, how about 999 copies for you and 1 for lil' ol me?

@Autumn Zephyr I'm actually really wishing for a fire/fairy combination since that will be something wonderful. 

@SilverAngelus You might actually get your wish silver!! and of course, I can "share" one with you. Lol 

Once I got a good enough view to tell that it is most definitely a ponyta running around, I'm personally inclined to believe that it'll be Fairy/Fire as well. It's been a bit since we've had a fluffy Fire Type, no? Certainly one as fluffy as flareon, anyway~
