Omega Rain, my friend, I read it.(A couple of pieces of songs to make it worth while for others as well) · 12:17am Apr 4th, 2013
As I said, I read the portion of your Fire Emblem fic you sent me. It was a good start. I want to see were you go with it, if that is alright with you. You had good detail, and I want to read more if you will allow me.
Now for a couple of songs that I enjoy so that any other of my followers can have a reason to read this and maybe read our conversation if they would like. maybe they will also be interested in your story.
and something that may annoy some:
Isn't Excalibur Just the best?
Thank you, TEK, my friend, for the enouragement! That was just a tiny portion I wrote on Easter Sunday, so there is a lot more. Last time I checked, 1,700 something words total. I'll email what I have written thus far after I get done typing this. I don't even know if I used thus correctly...
The first song was good, I didn't realize it was that song until she said bulletproof. I listened to it a few times on the radio, but still didn't even know the name of the song. The second song was probably the best of the two that I could listen to. I'm not a fan of Taylor Swift because she's classified as country music in my books and country is... It's not bad but not my cup of coffee. The Excalibur one didn't load for me.
Oh, yeah. Screw it, I was going to say chap. 5 of CMT comes out in an hour but that's a horrible joke.
979299 There is another song that I forgot to put on it that I got hooked on.
I also found this yesterday, and it was awesome!
It was good. I will check my email Saturday to see if you sent it. It is an interesting perspective on what you don't see in the background of the game. By the way, Vaike married Olivia recently. Olivia is a level 30 Dancer that none can hit, and Vaike is a level 20 berserker.
980252
I enjoyed the animation on the second video.
Did you already read what I emailed you (again)? Should be called "More Love Tactics" as the subject of the email. I usually keep the same team on the field for every battle, so none of my characters have married since I married Nowi. I was planning to have Sullivan plan to propose/marry Nowi the night Emmeryn was killed (in the fanfic), but felt that would be rushing it. Now I plan to have Sullivan marry Nowi sometime in that 2 year gap in the game. Also, that was the last chapter I played in the game recently.
I made Nowi into a sage recently and I kind of want to turn her back into a manakete because of her outfit and because she can turn into a dragon (which I heard you can buy dragonstones after chapter 12), but I don't want to lose all the stat increases and possibly her health points. Any suggestions?
981230 Changing classes means their attributes change. That is just how it works. not all the points will go back, but some of the stats will adjust to the new class the character is turning into. I found out recently that if you use a secondary seal on a unit that has reached its max level, you can shift to that same unit type with all the points they had so they can get stronger. My dancer, Olivia, is awesome. I leveled her up, part way as a myridome, and the I leveled her up to her max level(30) and she is awesome.
I haven't read it. I will get to it tomorrow or saturday.
981244
I've noticed Nowi barely levels up now that she is a sage, so leveling her up to 30 is going to require a lot of reeking boxes...
This morning I went on fanfiction.net and looked for any fics with Nowi in them. Well, Nowi had a character tag, but I got no search results... Why... With how enjoyable and how cute her character is, I'd expect someone to write a (hopefully) good fic about her. Though, I only read a story if I like the pairing, and usually I don't. That coming from me, just ignore it.
I forgot to ask this, but how do you feel about Nowi? You must write a 500 page essay about this and fax me the assignment by tommorow. Just kidding. But yeah, how much do you like or dislike Nowi and possibly why? I like Nowi because of her adorableness and the way she acts, along with how awesome she is in combat. She has an even higher rating than Sumia or Sullivan, and they're both near the 120-130 range. I think Nowi has a rating of something like 140.
981281 I had a little amendment to my statement, as you may see, and only units that can't use a master seals, like dancers, lodestars, and the dragon ones(can't recall their names) go to 30. the rest of the unit type's level caps are at 20. advanced units also take more fights with basic units, or fights with advanced units, for more experience.
So that would mean Nowi can go to lvl. 20, right? It would be interesting to see what a manakete could level up into, but also weird, I would think. I paired Olivia with Lon'qu during the Mad King of Plegia chapter. She didn't really see any action, she was attacked once but she dodged it. I didn't really see any use for the dancing other than fleeing from strong enemies, but I usually can one-hit kill any enemy with Sumia/Chrom, Nowi/Sullivan, Frederick, occasionally Donnel, and Anna. If I were to marry any of the other characters aside from Nowi, I'd pick Anna. Don't know why I just brought that up, but maybe it's interesting?
981612 The extra turn could be used for one of your powerful character to kill 2 units that turn instead of just one. Once she reaches the right level, she learns an ability that gives +2 to every stat of the person that she dances for. Plus, at least for me, she is super strong and can't really get hit. Her HP is 80 with 83 avoidance by herself. she is maxed out at 30 strength, and has 41 speed. her defense is low, but she doesn't really need it, considering how strong she is and how she is really hard to hit.
I didn't really have any marriages happen till after the first section of the story. I have 10 coules at the moment, and I am going to expand that number. What is your Renowned? mine is 3500.
981635
I have 3 couples I think. Frederick and Lissa, Sumia and Chrom, and Sullivan and Nowi. It still feels awkward having a name so similar to another character in the game, especially when Chrom says your name must be foreign. Is the renown the number right next to your character description and items? If so, it's somewhere between 120-130, but I can't remember exactly.
I was so late to this because my ipod died and when I went to bed, I started to watch Lucky Star for some reason. But now I'm actually going to sleep. Until 'morn, or we chat again.
981912 If you open the wireless menu, The renown is the number on the bottom sceen, just above a list of characters. That list is the team you will share when you street pass with people. Others can fight them(winning will allow you to recruit them leader), recruit the leader(your avatar), or buy the items that the team has, and you will be able to interact with the teams of those that receive you team. Whatever you decision, the team will disappear after you are done with your choice. by fighting teams and/or, be them met through street pass or the teams provided in the bonus box along with maps, items, and challenges(you can summon the different teams from different games as many times as you want), your renowned goes up. In the menu below the bonus box, there is a rewards menu that I am not exactly sure of the name at this exact moment. as your renowned goes up, you can redeem prizes for the levels of renowned you reach. You get allot of stuff that is relatively hard to come by, like energy drops or special weapons to bullion to sell. I am sitting at 3500 right now.
I hope this explanation helps, even if it is more/less through than necessary.
981995
Oh. I feel retarded. I went into that menu and received some rewards because of my renown. The Luna (gotta love that) and the Tyrfing. I forgot what you were talking about for a second there. I don't know how much renown I have at the moment, and I can't check because I don't have my ds with me, so I don't exactly know how much I have. I was wondering what the teams did, but never explored it because I thought they might join the party, and my regular group on the battlefield is awesome. To me, anyways.
I don't know if you want any other activities and shows to take up your free time, but I would recommend that you should watch Lucky Star on youtube. There isn't really action in it (but I've only watched 3 episodes), but the conversations are interesting, sometimes extending a while for what the topic is about, and it's quite funny at times. I enjoy it, so maybe if you checked it out it would interest you.
983720 You can recruit them leaders without a fight, but it costs you money. You don't have to recruit the leaders if you don't want to either, but it is still a good way to get supplies and level up units. Plus, every time you beat a team, you get renowned points. those points allow you to get weapons and items, like I said. I have gotten some awesome stuff from the renowned awards box.
I might check out lucky star. I think I have heard of it.
983781
I don't know if you care or not, but I checked online for a blu-ray set for Lucky Star and found some... Outrageous prices. To me anyways. The Japanese box set costs around $120 on amazon, and on other places it was about the same, except on some forum, some guy said it was worth the $436 he paid for it. There's only 24 episodes and one season...
991316 It is easy enough to find on youtube. I looked it up and they at least have the first episode on it. And it was dubbed over so I didn't have to read subtitles. It was pretty weird. might watch more later.
991608
Oh, I know that. I just like to check the cases of some tv shows to see the design. I still find it overpriced, as I have the Persona 4 anime and it's the same amount of episodes, but it's split into 2 collections that cost... And my point has just been made invalid... By myself. #logic
991625 Stuff like that can happen. I just finished a video about the whole "Ben Drowned" thing, as well as a couple of other creepypasta(that is how they were labeled) videos about pokemon. It was really weird, and I would be creeped out if that was something that happened.
992339
The best pokemon creepypasta I've read is Pokemon Dead Channel. It wasn't the creepiest one, but to me, the best written one. Another one is something I can't remember the name of but was really interesting. A guy got a copy of a modded pokemon game for the ds, I can't remember if the version he got was supposed to be creepy or just a normal mod, but after a couple battles, he would see flashes of bloodied pokemon or the trainer, but it's been like a year so I can't remember. It's not Pokemon Silver, the one where unknown would spell words and the trainer's body would lose limbs in the portrait and with the pixel model, but something else. You could probably find it on the pokemon creepypasta wiki if you were interested.
'Night, BRVR.
992664
Ok, I just found that creepy pasta I was talking about. It's called Pokemon Plague.
992704 I watched the lost silver(hidden) one and escape from lavender town one. I also saw a video on how to turn your red/blue version into a creepy black version. Creepy, but not that bad, but it is very easy to say that when you are not in control.
992704 I finally got around to the email. I feel it is building well, and I can't wait for you to get to the next part. By the way, I finished Fire Emblem, and now I will be moving towards boosting all the relationships to the best. By the way, I found out what the best class is. It is Dark Knight. The can use magic and swords, and their ability that they get is awesome. I can't quite recall the name, but it heals the units health be half their max when they kill an enemy unit. I find that super useful. The closes thing I have to compare it with is a mounted Tactician or Grandmaster. How far are you now, by the way?
1001263
I really hate to say this, but I'm not sure if I'm going to write the story for a while. I haven't played it since last week or so, so I'm still at a part where I can do chapter 12 whenever. Maybe if I play the game I'll want to write it more, so maybe that first sentence is going to be over-ruled (if that's the correct word).
Have you ever heard of the game called Ib? It's probably the best indie game I've ever played because of the characters, music, and how attached you can get to Ib and other characters. So attached, in fact, that if you like a certain character enough, you can get emotional about the end. I didn't say cry even though I did because, one, there are multiple endings, two, one of them can trick you, and three, you are probably hardened enough to not have that happen unlike me, where I can cry moderately-easy. I think you could find a link on one of Pewdiepie's video's or something.
1002573 I have never heard of it. I might take a look, but I think you can't really feel a game unless you play it yourself.
1002573 Ok. I am watching a playthrough of Ib, and it is creepy and startling. It is a nice story as well, so far.
1003074
... I totally forgot that the game was scary/creepy. Sorry about that. I think you should stop near the last few videos and play the game for yourself, just so you might feel enticed to experience the ending yourself. I hope I'm not to late with this.
1003092 I am on part of part 8 of it already, and Gary found out Mary was one of the painting subjects. The room that Gary finds the last ball in is super creepy. I might give it a try. I can already tell what the ending might be. I remember the knife Mary picked up a sharp impliment. Is she going to try to kill Ib? That is my prediction. I think I will play it through, though. What kind of software do you use to open it? it is a .rar file.
I am fine with creepy.
1003235
There are multiple endings, but I don't think she does... I haven't played the game since last year, near when I saw Pewdie or someone play the game, so I can't remember exactly how you install it but I can try and see if how I'm thinking is correct. Just save it in a folder anywhere. You should probably create a folder named Ib so when you extract it, files aren't scattered all over. I think all you need is Winzip or 7zip or some extractor. Just extract it into the Ib folder and open the folder after it gets done. I think there should be some file called RPGMaker or something that you have to click on to get the game able to work, and after that, you can play.
Or if you open the file after it gets done, the readme could explain better.
1003274 I found the process used to download it. I will get to it later.
1003235
Oh right! Now I remember what you mean. She does, but it's just the normal game over screen, so it doesn't affect the game. Also, when playing the game, remember how many figures you knock down to find a key or something near when you play as Gary and solve a few puzzles. The position doesn't change, and if you do the right things during the game (there is something involving Ib's hankercheif, but I can't remember anything other than that there is blood on it near the end if you get the best ending), you can get an awesome ending that I love...
I'm kind of a Gary fanboy.
In the playthrough, has the petson gotten to the creepy levels that are drawn with crayon? There is an easter egg there, I think if you do actions that give you the bad ending, you can see Ib hung by a tree in one of the sections of the map. It's creepy, and I was surprised nobody I watched noticed that.
Did the person you watch find the bookcase that had the sexual book in it? I find it funny how that's one of the things that I easily remember, but maybe it's not surprising. It was really amusing to see Gary's reaction to that.
1003317 I was watching Pewdepie's play through. I stopped soon after the end of the Creepy doll room where Gary has to find the key to get out. I think I will just download it and play through it, then maybe watch the play through the rest of the way through. Yes, he found the adult literature book, and it made me laugh a little. This will be the first horror game I try my hand at. I tend to avoid them because I don't like getting scared and startled. I was enjoying the play through, and I like Gary. He really cares.
1001263
I found some cool concept art on Nowi that I felt the need to share. images1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20130119153128/fireemblem/images/thumb/c/c1/Nowi.jpg/737px-Nowi.jpg
I might play Fire Emblem later tonight after I get some homework done, but I have some good news. After that session of FE, I'll be continuing onto Love Tactics. I really think I should change the name, but naming things can be the hardest part of the job sometimes... Not really, but if you have any ideas, I'll gladly listen and see if it's smooth sounding and such. To me, the title is either cliched or a bad lead into the story (what I was going to type was cringe-worthy but I don't think that applies there).
1042771 My team is unstoppable(maybe). I am going to work on leveling up characters and creating relationships now when I play, as well as increasing my reknown point total. I am at a little over 5000 right now, and I think it is awesome.
1042983
Ugh. I didn't get any writing in last night. Right now I have 390 renown. I've noticed that the points go up by 10 every challenger I've defeated, but do you know if it still increases when you fight a challenger summoned from a reeking box?
Nowi is amazing as a mage. A lot of the time she has a 20-30% chance of landing a critical hit, and she has 50 hp. Donnel is great as a mercenary too. The only bad thing is that his weapon proficency for the sword is on D or E and he can only use a glass sword that has one hit left on it.
When you play, do you have a favorite team setup that you obliterate enemies with, or do you switch it up every few battles? Usually I stick with Chrom and Sumia paired up, Frederick and Lissa, Sullivan and Nowi, Donnel has been by himself or with Anna, and I'm planning on using Cherce now that I have her. When I was playing the chapter where Emmeryn committed suicide, I didn't realize you could spare Tharja and have her join your party... That kind of sucks.
1044875 Unless I am trying to build the relationship of a pairing up, I stay with the same groupings. Whenever I start with a character with a low ability in the weapon the wield, I buy and forge a bronze weapon of that type. Gives the unit better results in the short run till they can use more powerful weapons. I'm not sure if using reeking boxes increases reknown. If it did, it might be to easy to do, but it is worth looking into.
1045288
I just tested it and I believe it does increase the renown.
I heard your character can have kids with Nowi, IIRC...
1045313
I have no clue what IIRC means...
I was going to ask you where you are in the game before I told you this, but all your couples have kids. Every character pairing has a kid. I didn't really want to spoil it for you, but you had already heard part of it anyway.
1045341
I honestly didn't know what it meant until today; If I remember correctly is what it means. I just finished chapter 13, where you find out that Marth is Lucina from the future.
I'm thinking some incredibly weird stuff right now...
1045453 I am playing the final fight over again. I wonder if you choose a female avatar, if you can marry Chrom. I am going to try it
1045584
Right now, after looking at the wiki, I'm sort of regretting that I murdered Tharja instead of recruiting her. At the time, I didn't know you could get her on your side if you got Chrom to speak with her.
1047410 If someone has a special name, it usually means you can recruit them. You just have to talk to them.
1047481
Paralogue 16 is really torturing me. I've had to restart the battle about 4 times and before I typed this, I got far into it until 50 Risen charged at Nah and murdered her. That's something I won't do again if I can't help it.
1047751 It took allot for me to do that one, as well. I think when I had trouble, I left to prepare and came back when I was ready. I also played it strategically. Mostly, I threw my best units into the fight and leveled up Nah later. That is how I mostly did it.
1047852
I was typing a description of my strategy until my ipod decided to crash on me yesterday. I get my normal pairings together and have Stahl by himself. After that I have all of my units charge towards the two enemies at the end of the beginning corridor, usually having Sullivan or Nowi fight the Enrisen then having Frederick or Cherche fight the mage. After that I have Sumia get as close to the room Nah is trapped in and move my other units in, and after the enemies' turn is over, if Sumia can't get close enough to speak with Nah, I put her in the doorway so none of the Risen can get to Nah. Aterwards I usually have Stahl and Nah pair up. And after that the strategy usually is thrown out of the window. All I do after that is try to keep the weaker units out of the way of the mages using Mire and have Sumia and/or Cherche take out some of the Risen in that area. Then after that is when I usually die because of the bottom area full of Risen killing one of my party members.
1050466 I think I put some of my best units in place when the big group comes to intercept them and defend my other units. All my units were kinda hard to hit for the enemy or just to quick to kill them. When I get Nah out of the room, I have her hanging at the back with a unit that would be able to protect her and send my other units to wipe out the the enemy.
1051442
I finally finished tat battle. It was extremely nerve wracking, Cherche almost died. She was in the bottom section of the map, with 9 hp left and there were two enemies that could do a lot more than that, but when they attacked her, they missed. When they both missed, I wiped my hand over my head and thought, "Holy crap! How did I live through that?"
I love Nah's support conversation with Sullivan. She's wondering why he married Nowi because Nah thinks she's childish. Eventually she asks if he was rushed into marriage, her example before being cut off, asking if he accidentally got her preganant before marriage. It doesn't say that, but it's easy to understand what she was going to say before she was interrupted.
1093746
That also means more progression on the fic.
1093746 Those conversations are funny sometimes. Did I tell you what my favorite abilities are? They are Armshift and Soul Drinker(I think it is that). II don;t know if I told you about it. It is an ability that Dark Knights learn that heals half there max HP after they kill a unit on your turn. They are awesome because they use both magic and swords. I look forward to reading more of your story.
1093746 I got stuck part way through the beginning of my fic, and I now realize the reason is because I disliked how I put it. It makes no sense that Celestia and Luna could make something more powerful than them, even with the idea I had behind it. I am going to rewrite the concept, and I have, at least to me, even better ideas for it. I have plenty of time for it this week and this summer. I don't know when I will get to work until I start, but I think I will be able to write more finally.
1094084
Actually, what was the last part I sent you of the fic? I could send you a few more paragraphs after you figure that out so I don't send you the sane thing again. I'm trying to put Kellam in the story atm, and I hope I can keep him in character nicely.
1094097
It was, "Childish demeanor Nowi possesses", wasn't it? I wish you luck on your fic, too. When I send you more of the fic, I'll try to send you a picture of my character in FE for you to get a better visualization. If I can figure out how to get a good picture of it...
1094102 I think the last part you sent me was the part Chrom's sister blackmailed your character to get a heal staff in return for not telling Nowi.
