Building mine for evasion, mostly. She shouldn't be getting attacked or countered very much, especially if she manages to get crossbows.

« on: August 21, 2013, 06:20:54 pm »Does anyone have any suggestions for DS or 3DS games I could consider buying? The Nintendo Eshop is very lacking, being mostly filled with stuff that could pass as flash games and a great deal of NES ports that I have next to no consideration for.What sort of stuff are you into?
While the Eshop seems like the perfect venue for being filled with classic SNES titles, it seems that much common sense hasn't yet permeated to whomever does the decision making on what gets put there.
So I guess I'm going to Amazon to look for games to take my mind off my boring nights. Does anyone have any suggestions?

« on: August 21, 2013, 06:16:52 pm »3 Thieves! FEF2: Bane of Doors, Chests and Pockets =VGrifen is being set up as a psuedo-medic. She has a PS that makes healing items extra effective and the Savior ability to pick up wounded allies without taking a Speed hit. She can't use staffs yet, but if she promotes to Nomad Medic we'll have two powerful healers.
Though if you ask me we probably could use more healing, the only healer we have in the roster so far is SC's Leo, and we don't know if he'll have consistent internet access by game start.

I think you guys are a little confused. When I talk about "show, don't tell", I'm not referring to characterization or foreshadowing or other things that are likely to be expressed differently in other cultures. I mean that the audience is being told that things are happening, which never show up on screen or even contradict what we're shown.
Take, for example, Rebuild of Evangelion. When the first (on-screen, not first in-universe) Angel attacks, we're told about how all the defensive units are being wiped out in the battle to stop the Angel.
There's an even more egregious example in the second film, when (spoiler)Angel-infected!Unit 03 is getting shot at by the military. These things have no ranged weaponry of any kind, and the Eva is simply walking forward through the barrage. And yet you can hear panicked chatter over the radio about how the defenses are getting ripped apart and that any surviving units should pull back.
That's the sort of thing I'm talking about.

Quote from: After an extended scene showing rocket launchers, tanks, other helicopters, and even bombers attacking the stationary Angel, and showing it to be mostly unharmed
Angry General: "What the hell?! Why's it still standing?!"Plausible, except that the Angel in question is only shown taking out a single helicopter on-screen, using its energy blade arm to make it crash and then stepping on the wreck. At all other times, the Angel is simply shown to be standing there and tanking hits.
Calm General: "The tank battalion's been wiped out. That thing's just striding over our defenses like they're not even there."

Another female shaman? Okay, but it won't look that much different except for color scheme and hair style

Haspen might appreciate it. Or he might not. Whatever
SCAPHEAP! That flower was a hell of a weird thing to request, but I think I managed something that looks vaguely correct. If there's anything you want changed, just say the word.

I might be able to clean it up a little, but it looks really damn good as-is. All I'd probably do is make it transparent and upscale it. I hate the default sprite sizes

My perspective is that DEF is partly armor, partly knowing how to use it. Like, Gregor's DEF isn't so much from his armor as it is from his shield. Since Alexander has a shield now, he's probably still learning how to use it.

Okay, that's
scapheap's shaman
BMM42's three(!) sprites that have no female versions
and PM's sniper (easiest of the lot).
I think that's enough for now

Okay scapheap, still working on the sprite but I have a possible mugshot for ya. Cleaned up the background to make it transparent, added a flower that I found from somewhere. For some reason, I can't find any actual FE mugs with flowers to scavenge <_<;
@BMM42: Female pirate? Hoo boy, this will be interesting
Or would you prefer a trainee or berserker sprite?
