In games containing microtransactions, a "whale" is a player who becomes addicted to the game and spends an unreasonable amount of money on in-game resources, thereby subsidizing the game for others.

Previous Nintendo-branded mobile titles have been pretty responsible about the risk of creating whales, haven't they? I guess we'll see.

It's not her fault that she was in a game with a stupid plot device, really.

Iunno, I liked Ike too. seems like fire emblem is good at handling those sorts of characters.

it's very racist to call Ranulf that

Some people think that the fact that they were into something for longer makes that thing more theirs. Seen it a thousand times. It is the way of fandom.

I think that something like this is still going to get people more interested in the games they haven't played anyway.

If a character can increase their stars and their skills but characters drawn with more stars have things that others can't ever acquire, it seems like it would be pointless to bother with improving the less rare ones. So I hope that's not the case.

100 characters at launch, huh?

What I wanna know is what Ike's diet/Bowflex regiment was between PoR and Radiant Dawn, because holy poo poo I forgot how swole he got.

I just imagine that's how huge he got (gradually) after promoting in Path of Radiance, but it wasn't reflected in his portrait due to technical limitations.

I have two Lon'qus, but I can't figure out how to combine them into one single, slightly bigger Lon'qu. I can highlight him in the merge menu, but the Next button doesn't activate. What am I doing wrong?

You need to select both lonqus, and put them into each box manually. It's the contorl for situations where you have more than 2 of him or w/e

As soon as I tap the second one, it deselects the first one, and it doesn't respond to multitouch. I can't drag, and if I long press it just takes me to the summary screen.

Edit: oh, I also had to tap on the boxes up above. I figured it out

I managed to save up enough orbs to pull a second group of five heroes and the result was: gently caress gacha

Bongo Bill

I've pulled fifteen units so far and I still don't have a four-star of every color, nor a single five-star.

I want to like this game, but it insists on being gacha.

Upgrade only characters that you like. If you believe you may like Roy, please be advised that you actually don't.

This is a hard lesson I learned. No matter how much you might think that Roy is actually your boy, he's actually not.

A lot of people like Masahiro Sakurai's original Smash Bros character with the same name, of course.

Okay, I've got a stack of stamina potions somehow and I'm only three away from taking out fifteen level 35+ armor enemies. Getting pretty sick of redoing the eighth stratum over and over. Is there a main mission that has a lot of knights?

It does, and they're even level 35! Thank you.

Even if you aren't really interested in the arena why not treat the arena as a variant training tower and get some extra feathers along the way?

I usually go 7 for 7 on Intermediate difficulty thanks​ to a few lucky pulls, I'm just not building up a super optimized team or reading the meta.

I am giving Brave Lance to my Effie. Not Brave Lance+, however. I like Effie but I don't like her so much that I was gonna promote my Abel just to grind him up. Plus she was already 5* when I pulled her, so SP is short enough as it is. Skill inheritance now guarantees that I won't be promoting anybody I intend to use until level 40.

Leveling up a Hana and a Hinata so I can promote them to four stars and dump some good skills on someone. Don't know who yet. Maybe I'll pull someone I like in the next banner.

I don't suppose there's an IV calculator that works on characters who are somewhere between levels 1 and 40, is there?

GLAAD trash bags posted:

If the character is over level 20 and not yet 5 stars you can see their level one stats in the unlock potential menu when you tap them. Keep in mind that their weapon attack doesn't factor into those stat readings on the menu, but they do on the IV calculators.

Ah, thanks.

What's the best thing to do with this five-star Selena I pulled?

Seems like there is not room for her in my team, then. She is only my fourth five-star unit, but my first three were all more generally useful. I will hang onto her until I get someone I like who would benefit from her skills. Thanks.

If they start adding holiday-themed alternate versions of existing characters before they put in even a single Tellius character I am going to riot.
