In Topic: Seinen Anyone?

28 August 2011 - 05:43 AM

I've read a few different seinen manga series'. These are a few of the ones I read or have been reading

Gantz(and waiting forever for a new chapter -.- still is fantastic to read, if you can take loads of gore and nudity. Has like 32 volumes I think)
Sun-Ken Rock(it's a newer seinen manga that isn't well known but I DEFINITELY recommend it. I think volume 13 is currently being translated online)
Bokurano: Ours(I've read this awhile ago, and it's more mature in the terms of how deep they go into life, not much to do with gore and nudity.)
Battle Royale(originally a japanese novel that got a manga and even a movie adaption. Anyone heard of a book series called The Hunger Games? This is a lot like that, except it's seinen quality.)

Those are just a few I can name on the top of my head.

On a side note, some of the franchises you guys mentioned like Death Note and Claymore aren't actually seinen. Both are darker shonen series' but not quite seinen.

In Topic: New Fire Emblem Game!!!!!!!

Elibe was really unpopular in Japan; the target market for Fire Emblem games. And plot-wise, there's nothing to explore after Sword of Seals, considering Roy brought around world peace or something.

...Actually, there really wasn't anything to do plot-wise with Elibe after FE6. Blazing Sword was completely pointless. :/


I disagree with the whole completely pointless thing. Realize that Blazing Sword was also made to attract the worldwide audience into the games rather than just be a way to extend the continent. Maybe Elibe was unpopular in japan, but they could easily make a 3rd Elibe game to help attract the worldwide audience again after the incident with the poor SD sales and FE12 probably not getting a worldwide release.

Elibe may of not been popular in japan, but the western audience(including myself) LOVES Elibe.

Nino - I don't care if you get the best magic or whatever by the time you promote and what not. Unlike Rolf, you come in really late in the game where I don't have the time to baby you. I much rather have Pent.
Eh, Nino isn't thought much of outside of rather old GameFAQS stuff. I dunno if she's still hyped over there now, but most of the fandom seems to accept her awfulness.


True, and I never really thought of her as awful. It's more on really bad timing and by then, I have a superior Pent or Erk. I basically would feel like I had wasted a crap load of EXP if I give them up for Nino. It seems only reasonable.

It seems people don't like taking the time to train characters. Honestly, when my Edward maxed out 4 stats before promoting into a swordmaster and overall, I enjoy using more than Zihark.

The problem isn't so much training characters as it is training characters who don't start very good (Edward has a rather mediocre start in NM and a really bad one in HM) for someone who's virtually identical in the end. Same thing with Rolf and Shinon. Shinon starts better than Rolf, and in the end they're basically the same. The good start is especially important here, too, because, as an archer, EXP is hard to get if you aren't killing stuff in one round.


I can understand where you're coming from. Especially with Rolf and Shinon in PoR. It's like the usual argument with which beginning cavalier is better. There's one more in strength, and the other more in speed. Same thing goes with Rolf and Shinon, and they become virtually equal in the end. My problem with Shinon is like with Nino, he comes in a lot later, and often times by then, I've trained Rolf who ends up being superior. Overall though, it's more like pick your favorite. I just don't like all the hate on Rolf because he's pretty equal to Shinon when you take the time to train him.

However, the "virtually equal" thing with Edward ans Zihark in RD doesn't work. Especially when you compare the overall average stats. Take a look here.

http://serenesforest...age/edward.html
http://serenesforest...age/zihark.html

Now when you compare these two, Edward ends up with the overall greater stats by a long shot. So I wouldn't call these two virtually equal. Zihark has better resistance, but that's about it.

And whoever just told me PEMN, I find that VERY hypocritical of you to say that, especially when I have facts with me. I noticed you bashed on Edward and compared him with Zihark. If I may point to you the stats I just posted, it kinda sounds like you're using your own personal experience and then go off giving me crap that I use personal experience.

I'm just being honest there. And before people rage on me, I'm not hating on any characters here.

Hmm interesting concept. Well me not having that much person experience, I don't have a lot of characters on my mind in this section, but I can name a few. I don't think any of these character are bad units at all, but I just don't like using them for certain reasons.


FE7
Nino - I don't care if you get the best magic or whatever by the time you promote and what not. Unlike Rolf, you come in really late in the game where I don't have the time to baby you. I much rather have Pent.

FE9
Shinon - Why the hell is everyone hating on Rolf? People must of been too used you within only a few chapters before you ditch us! What the hell man? And you can argue that Rolf comes in low level or whatever, but I think it's still early enough when you have plenty of time to train him. By the time Rolf was a sniper, he critical'd almost every enemy. And when you were an enemy that one chapter, I compared the stats of my rolf facing you, and he could 2HKO you at the very least! Not that you're a bad unit, but at this point Rolf is much more useful for me.

FE10
Zihark - Again, people are comparing him with Edward for the same reason. It seems people don't like taking the time to train characters. Honestly, when my Edward maxed out 4 stats before promoting into a swordmaster and overall, I enjoy using more than Zihark. Zihark, I LOVED you in PoR, but you changed in RD, in which I'm going to stick with Edward for this game.

In Topic: New FE characters in SSB?

30 June 2011 - 05:21 PM

It doesn't make sense. Why would they all of a sudden stop releasing the FE games outside of Japan?
