The scantily clad anime women is really uncomfortable too. I don't wanna feel like Roy Moore while I play a video game. I'd link the images from the reviews but they gross me out and make me feel like a pervert.

I remember really liking one of the star ocean games on the playstation.

Then some years ago I saw some footage from a newer one and wanted to drink bleach.

To futher Alaois some national writers are fed by Schinao's agent, and feel obligated to defend him because "Tennesee fans are making a big deal out of hearsay!" Oh and also so the agent will keep giving them scoops of course.

Which, to be fair, Tennessee fans were. They also didn't want to hire a mediocre at best coach who's been an rear end in a top hat at every single place he's been to the point where he alienated everyone, so...

Jimmy Haslam is the guy who wanted Schiano at UT, John Currie is his lapdog and is about to get fired. Because Philip Fulmer has been undermining him every step of the way. So much has happened in that search since Sunday. And absolutely everyone involved is some varying degree of scum.

to add even further in to this, there were recent reports that Tennessee was pursuing Mike Leach, to the point that they were getting close to a deal. then it turns out that Currie was trying to get Leach without any of his higher ups (and Jimmy Haslam who I guess might as well run the school because it's Tennessee) knowledge and as soon as they found out they cut it off entirely and that's why Currie is losing his job

I like some anime stuff but really really wish they toned down the fan service poo poo. I rolled my eyes when I saw the female main character in this game

However, as a huge jrpg fan, I have had to begrudgingly accept the stuff I like will include schoolgirl panties and big boobs

So, in addition to being a grade A rear end in a top hat, and an absolute failure as a HC in the NFL, he was also a very mediocre coach in college. He was at Rutgers for a decade while they were in the Big East and only won 10 games once and only finished a season ranked once. So he is just a mediocre rear end coach, who isn't inspiring, has no connections to the university, and is an rear end in a top hat


Oh, and when he was at Penn State, he knew about Sandusky raping kids but didn't say anything.



Turns out that the fan base wasn't happy with that coaching pick, after they had spent a month expecting Gruden to descend from heaven ESPN and return them to glory
I think he did really well at Rutgers. He inherited a team that was averaging 2 wins total per season over the previous several years and turned them into a consistent winning team. Like even after the 11-2 MNC season we all know and love, he won bowl games in 4 of the next 5 years before departing. Now Rutgers is garbage again. He didn't transform them into like a blue blood or anything but i could see him running a contender in a better situation.

The swamp at night and the ocean where Melia came from were some of the best environments in the game. They felt so peaceful and the music is really soothing.

Plus the twist in the story was genuinely surprising gently caress you Dickson and I liked that in the ending they reveal the whole thing was a universe simulation gone wrong. The main conflict was the product of a debate between 2 people on a research station orbiting Earth and you have to kill the "bad" god to fix everything

The game also has like a million genuinely sad moments. I felt really bad for metal face when he died after you figure out later who he actually is

Seven had some :chloe: outfits but there was no real reason to use them.

Plus you also had Shulk/Reyn/Dunban in their swim trunks so at least the pervyness was equal opportunity.

Rikki + Melia + Shulk lets you melt the face off anything once you figure out how all their combos interact.

Seven + Dunban + Shulk is also Real Good.

Use Rikki's buffs on Melia/himself. Then have her cast stuff that's damage over time, then go back to Rikki and cast more buffed damage over time spells and suddenly everything's dead.

lol thank you for using spoiler tags after I said I hadn't finished the game, my wife was really into watching me play for a while and when I stopped playing it she looked up the ending and has been threatening to spoil me on it ever since, even though I think I know where it's going :sweatdrop: (I do know who Seven is though)

Actually wait while I have your attention how the gently caress do I get Shulk's fourth ability tree or whatever? I was told I need to do enough sidequests in the starter town to make a certain person like me enough but I just can't seem to make it work despite wringing that place dry of quests.

You have to be almost at the end of the game. If you've recruited Seven I think you can get it at that point, but not any earlier.

I got all the ability trees but they were so grind-y. Restoring all of Colony 6 took forever, but it's really cute how the music gets happier and happier the more you do :3:

And you're welcome for the spoiler tags. The plot twists and reveals in the game are some real :stare: moments and I don't want to spoil them for anyone.

I looked it up for you. There's a bunch of requirements

quote:

Pessimism is Shulk's fourth Skill Tree in Xenoblade Chronicles. It can be unlocked by completing the quest Désirée's Future.

Désirée's Future is a quest in Xenoblade Chronicles. It can be received from Désirée north of the Commercial District of Colony 9. This quest will be available once Satorl Marsh is accessible. It is also required to have completed the quest Jackson's Awakening and have a Colony 9 affinity of ☆4.5.

Jackson's Awakening is a quest in Xenoblade Chronicles. It can be received from Jackson in the alley in the southernmost area of the Residential District of Colony 9.

I'm guessing the reason it won't trigger is your Colony 9 affinity is too low. I recall having issues with it too. It's a real pain to increase it because there aren't as many quests there. Here's the full list, you need 6,000 affinity: http://xenoblade.wikia.com/wiki/Colony_9_Quests


Interestingly, Shulk's 5th ability tree is much easier to unlock as you just need to finish a certain quest, no affinity required. However, you also have to have finished Mechonis Core. It'll be.....pretty obvious why.
