You just got hit with a strong fist of truth.

I can't recommend UBW since the story is so incomprehensible and Shiro is the lamest protagonist. Major UBW spoilers: The first heaven's feel movie was actually pretty enjoyable, but demands UBW for context and unfortunately the context, like mo- uh, all of non-Zero Fate, is complete gibberish.

I've been thinking this will probably be the next game I get.

That's what I've heard. I haven't played many FE games so I have enjoyed this one enough to keep messing around with, but it does have some janky storytelling because of the recruitments, character expendability, and lacking narrative. Like, Claude is "neutral" but opposes Edelgard in every single route, including BE. That's not what "neutral" means. Mercedes makes more sense than most as far as siding with BE goes. But yeah, there's a lot of good in the story - it's just regularly hampered by minor things that accumulate.

Annette×Felix is the greatest support line in the game. If you aren't seduced by the cake song, I don't know what to tell you.

The DLC route is separate from the main game. Story is kinda bleh and characters are a bit gimmicky or shallow. I do generally agree on your story issues. Far too much overlap. Poor ezecution of Edelgard and Claude. Dimitri is by far the best of the 3 and his house has the best synergy. I think they made too many characters and since so many can be yanked to another house they have no impact on alternate routes. It goes so far with the expendablility of characters that the one time I had a permadeath, it took chapters to realize they weren't in cutscenes any more since the primary house cast is only really there for off-handed comments on the situation. The only thing that makes me keep coming back is that I enjoy the battle systen's flexibility. Turning Edelgard into a Dancer+Yuri's relic is by far the most fun I've had on any Fire Emblem. But I have to limit myself to Maddening runs since now that I've taken it on once the lower difficulties, which were already easy comparably, are like playing Tic Tac Toe.

You misspelled Annette.

I tried playing the CDi Zeldas once. Dead to Rights was pretty terrible, too. Xenosaga 2 was a gameplay abortion, though the story was great. I fucking hated Hotel Dusk for being the most viciously mundane mystery to ever be conceived.

No, Pence refused to take action to prevent the HIV outbreak because he viewed it as retribution against homosexuals. So yes, he caused it by intentionally doing nothing when there was still time.

More like Rick and Mehty.

I'm pretty indifferent to Byleth. I'm not bothered by having a bunch of FE characters since half of them are Echoes so I barely count them as being different characters. If I were to ask for Three Houses representation I wouldn't have wanted Byleth purely because it's a character whose personality is literally having no emotion nor charisma while being awe-inspiring to everyone around them. Out of the main cast, it's nigh impossible to find a more boring representative. Regardless, Peach is probably the only character I'll ever play in a serious capacity, so any want for a specific character is [highly unlikely] fanfare at most for me. It's also fun to have new characters to fight.

Legosi literally beat the crap out of Bill for doping on rabbit blood, like a drug. There was an elephant selling his own fingers. There was a black market for selling herbivores meat. Legosi and Haru are the only ones struggling to control it because most other people aren't fighting it. I'd argue Loius was fighting his instincts as well by aiming to become a predator.

Umineko was...... probably the worst anime I've seen, as far as TV series by a company as noteworthy as Deen are concerned. I get that they don't have an incredible track record, but Umineko is physically exhausting to watch. And Ookami Kakushi is, in fact, a show that exists. That's about 99% of what I have to say about. All I really remember is that it set up an expectation that something would happen and it was a lie. So I can't really say I have much faith in his stuff as anime. I don't know how good or bad the source material is, just that Higurashi is good (wouldn't call it great), Ookami Kakushi was boring and sometimes kind of bad, and Umineko was like 2 hours of intrigue followed by 6 hours of being waterboarded.

Why? I mean, once the OVAs started focusing on comedy and fanservice exclusively, it was over. They adapted Outbreak for fucks sake. If you're out of ideas for interesting stories in the franchise, it's been 15 years - you can move on. It'll never happen, but I'd at least have enthusiasm if they did Onisarashi-hen. The problem being they won't and I know they won't since it's not following any of the main cast, so it isn't marketable as Higurashi. I don't say any of that to shit on Higurashi, I like the show. I just don't like how much they've milked it dry. So, here's to vainly hoping it's not going to be another misguided panderfest for all 5 people looking for Higurashi merch in 2020.

They said it was because creating higher resolution models needed to be done from scratch and it was too unrealistic with so many Pokemon. Then datamines on early copies revealed the models were basically identical to Sun/Moon. They were cutting corners on Nintendo's biggest franchise and lied about why.

😐

It would 100% be Packard, so who cares?
