Dat Oni

Uplander Doom continues to be the bane of my existence. Its never actually ended a raid, but it's a thorn in my side because usually one of a couple things happens: 1. The tank refuses to swap and I die. 2. The healer cannot keep up with the damage output, regardless of my using CDs. It just annoys the shit out of me that people cannot get with it and properly do the mechanic.

http://vignette1.wikia.nocookie.net/megamitensei/images/e/e4/BerithSMT.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20080803012155[/img] Interesting...Those appear to be Beriths. I guess enemy types include traditional demons, like in Persona 1 and 2? Either that, or they'll be alongside the Shadows, or Shadows have been phased out as enemies altogether.

Aaron is one of my rping bros, and his character has had some of the best interactions with mine.

Don't ever speak to me or my son again.

I-... Hold on a second. What haven't I said about Aya, yet? *Pulls out list* "Things I've said about this person already..." Umm... Her avatar has a nice bust.

If one more healer sits there during the first boss of Antitower and spams cure, physick, what have you on myself instead of prioritizing purging Concussion, I'm gonna scream. It's an ailment. It isn't a damage soak, and for the love of Nymeia, it's not a tankbuster, either, so no, I am not going to pop a CD, especially not to make up for the massive, unnecessary amount of damage that I could simply walk out of if you did your job, healer who I know is gonna say this because stupidity is that fucking reliable.

All classes require such a mindset, if you raid. DPS have mechanics they need to do, and buffs/debuffs they need to put on players. The Machinist needs to watch everyone's mana and time disables. The Nin needs to cast goad for tp, etc etc. I actually find tanking/healing easier than DPSing. I can't concentrate on a complicated rotation and still do raid mechanics. DPS is too hard for me! Less than half of the population cares about raiding, So I don't factor that in. Every class is balanced around raiding though. So it's really the only thing that matters in regards to class strength and ease of use. Square Enix doesn't give a shit how they play at lower skill levels. Edit: Which is unfortunate at times, because there are some Classes that really only shine at high skill levels, and SE seems not to care about making them more accessible. You can be classed around raiding all you want, 90% of content doesn't require any spacial awareness really from dps. You just hit stuff till it dies or meet the dps check. You can do an entire dungeon and not pop one goad or whatever too and be perfectly fine. I've witnessed it. Yes, we called that "The time before NIN existed."

Decided to do a level 60 roulette today as PLD. Little did I know this would be the day of my triumph over the forces of evil (and lag). We had a healer who d/c'd every single boss battle, not 1/4 of the way in. Most people would proceed to wipe because WAR is generally associated with manmoding its way through instances, not PLD. But I am not most people. Each time it happened, through spamming Clemency and restoring my mp with carefully timed Sheltron use and Riot-Goring Blade combos, I kept myself topped off through the fight, for all three bosses of Saint Mocianne's Arboretum. We never kicked our d/cing healer, rather, I carried her lifeless corpse on my shoulders as I brought glory to my party. I am the crusader of justice. I am the will of the Sultana. I am...A LALADIN. [align=center] [/align] AND I ONLY GOT ONE COMMEND FOR DOING THIS.

It's because of that spacial awareness that I recommend no matter what role you settle on, everyone should try both tanking and healing. You notice more things when you have to keep an eye on the actions of 3-7 other people.

Ew, goblins, I don't like em! jqx4ywmqYUw

If you pull for me, I let you die. It's that simple.

We’re too young to make it out Let’s give them something to talk about Can you hear the fire alarm? Cause I can feel the fire coming on

Free pictures? I cannot resist! Here, have a Kokoporo.

Its okay buddy, we can have an adventure together! Lmao.. ok Rico Suave #Doesn'tunderstandallthesereferances #Hermit4Life. #Ialwayssay'Pound'inmyheadnotHashTag i'm new at this. Needs more Dakka I'VE SET ME GITFINDER TO PANZY.

Nope. Not even gonna bother. Nope.

I endorse this solution - that's basically how I started meeting folks. The good thing is that you only really need to get to know a couple of people, and then you meet their friends, and their friends' friends, and you can get a good cascade going. And yes, you should meet the goofy and loud Roelady who posted just above me. Watch out for those hugs, though. CRUNCH. More along the lines of SQUISH. :3

Obviously large parts of it are exaggerated, but there's kernels of truth mixed in as well. I would dare say if you replaced "Pig and Whistle" with "Quicksand", nothing would be lost in translation.

I was on megamitensei.wikia.com today, the unofficial MegaTen wiki, when I saw THIS in the polls on the front page. Okay, SE. I'll bite. Why are you interested in what Atlus is doing with its RPGs? Or what their fans like in their games?

Most of the series that I wish would get a true, 100% revival are actually better off dead than being regurgitated by the modern-day video game industry, and why? http://vignette1.wikia.nocookie.net/finalfantasy/images/9/94/Final_Fantasy_XIII_Logo.jpg/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/270?cb=20120614005423[/img]https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/6/63/Banjo-Kazooie_Nuts_%26_Bolts_Game_Cover.jpg[/img]http://media.gamestats.com/gg/image/object/771/771985/BombermanActZero_USBOX_Mrated.jpg[/img]http://icdn4.digitaltrends.com/image/sh-pachinko-thumb-440x292.jpg[/img] ...It's just a feeling, but I don't exactly think the big-name companies that originally published or developed these titles in the past are fit to produce actual games anymore. I think I'll stand by the spiritual successors to these series, instead.

Tell me we're not risking our necks for this plant.

More wonderful work as always, Mimiko.

Has Crofte been dipping into Jana's crazy flakes? Probably. Cue the music!

Exactly what I imagined he would look like. Wide-eyed, young, and freckled. So a 13 year old, essentially. EDIT: Have a gif of Aradial's /dance animation I guess? I really wish they would make those emotes loop like the later ones. ANOTHER EDIT: ...I just noticed the windows were captured as well. RIP

Overpower's a finicky piece of shit of an attack that can't decide if it's a cone, a triangle or a non-euclidian geometry figure. If you have a good alignment with them it's fine, but AIs don't give you that luxury of having pathing that makes sense. So yeah the WHM will get chewed on. IF YOU DIDN'T WANNA GET CHEWED ON, DON'T DUNGEON. (unless you get hit with a tank buster in which case I'm so, so sorry ;.; ) Speaking of pathing, you know that tortoise/caterpillar trash mob immediately after fighting the first boss of Saint Mocianne's Arboretum? I defy any person to get that Tortoise to line up properly for an Overpower or for the sake of Raw Intuition. Every time I try to get all 3 in a convex in front of me, that Tortoise seems to be nudged by gravitational forces or the hands of some cruel god to my flank.
