Meldonox posted:I only vaguely recall what any of these names are, but is he seriously not using iaijutsu at all? Those are the only really visually appealing things I remember SAM getting, how's a guy gonna stand around spamming 1 2 3 instead? If he was just spamming 123 he'd be doing substantially better than what he is actually doing here.

I always wonder how people like that manage to beat solo duties and stuff that doesn't let other people kill things for them.

In cases like that, I just assume it's someone's kid sibling or their young child getting a turn at the controls. People who are actively playing poorly by themselves are completely unexceptional in their underperformance.

Phone posted:Sounds like someone hasn’t listened to many Soken/Primals tracks. I haven't really gone out of my way to listen to most of the ARR tracks. From what I can tell the Shiva one's lyrics seem completely reasonable, if a bit cheesy (but cheesy in the way you might see from actual natively English music). Clarste posted:Yeah, I think it's pretty clear that the songs aren't being translated, they're just written in either English or Japanese originally. Oh, they're really obviously written directly in English, but a lot of songs that are written directly in English by Japanese people still have an awkward sort of tempo to them; like the grammar will all be correct, but stuff will just sound "off" (a lot of Shiina Ringo's English stuff is a good example of this).

The game's lyrics range the gamut from understandable (Oblivion), to incomprehensible (Rise, eScape), to literally gibberish (Ultima).

After the lyrics to Rise came out, I'd try to type the chorus in time with it while tanking 12N. People either loved it or hated it. There was no middle ground.

I think this fight with Zenos is the first time the WoL has canon lost a fight. Pissed me off, I doubt this scrub was as strong as Nidhogg or various other people I've hosed up.

Well, what about Thordan or Bahamut Prime or various other people, I bet he isn't as strong as them. His hair also looks greasy and unwashed. Dude even has this goofy katana-holder that looks like it weighs 300lb.

Um, it's 400 lbs, actually. And Zenos always washes his hair. With the blood of his enemies.  More seriously, Bahamut Prime was not Bahamut at full power since he was still recovering from being Saitama'd. Thordan should be stronger, but apparently he's canonically a wimp after he uses Ultimate End? I prefer Thordan EX as the canon battle, honestly.

It's kinda sad how Yoshi-p was all "The team is kinda burnt out, so we're all going to take a small break after 3.0" but the community screeching over having to wait a couple of more weeks for 3.1 his response was "No more breaks for us I guess"

Zenos has other reasons for why he's so swole that get covered later in the story, but the "oh yeah he's level 70" is still a funny meta joke.

You know, I just thought of something. (Stormblood spoilers and such from 4.0 - 4.4) Fordola was able to match the Warrior of Light with one Resonant eye. Zenos had two, which he never used until he fused with Shinryu; anime logic suggests his version would be stronger since he has it in two eyes. If Zenos had the Resonant on the whole time, how hard to beat would he have been? Is this why Elidibus is convinced he can kill the Warrior of Light?

Tried to level monk some more tonight but despite loving the style and animations I have a real hard time keeping engaged with the class. I think part of it is that its the last real hold-over in heavy positional focus but most of it is that by level 54 you've basically seen the whole job. Everything else is a tool to make chakras happen faster or a button you're never going to press. It's difficult to feel excited about leveling up when my big 60 capstone is an attack that for all intents and purposes kills you and the 70 one is a raid buff that just lets you jam on the chakra button more.

I selected a standard preset based on Latin, so the language used is probably Latin. Rise of the White Raven is, in fact, actual Latin, though.
