Yikes! Frozen by a Stoneborn?

True. When I was playing Awakening, I rewon the game two times (normal and hard.) Afterwards, I deleted my file and played it again on it's hardest mode. I was able to make it until I think chapter 7. The reason I stopped playing it was because every time I did, I would joyfully level up and then die. I was addicted and mentally pained whenever I died. So, naturally I stopped and went to Fates.

I know. I got very saddened whenever I lost a chapter in Awakening. I to am playing Conquest right now. At this moment, I think I'm on chapter 17. I am playing it on hard mode, yet it still feels quite easy. How far are you?

I am sorry for your file... I deleted one of my Awakening files (on purpose) to make room for another file. After that, I felt really bad for killing every character I cared for. I actually (in my head) created a fictional story to explain their universe being destroyed. Although, for me, I did mine on purpose. I can only imagine how it feels to do it by accident. It must be hard. I am very sorry.

That's exactly correct! It is always best to look at the bright side of things. Also, how is Birthright with respect to Conquest?

The avatar is very peace seeking in Conquest. I just never expected him/her to have such a different personality in Birthright. I own Birthright, but I'm planning to play it after Conquest. Also, one funny thing I noticed when customizing your avatar is the expression he/she gives you. When you are customizing your avatar, the avatar gives you an angry annoyed look the whole time. It's very -

intimidating. Also, you mentioned that the avatar in Birthright is more bloodthirsty than in all three other routes. Does that mean you played Revelations?

That is quite ambitious and spectacular. It must be rewarding to watch as all three files start similar, diverge to different routes, then come together in a resolution. I definitely reward you for your courage at all three files. As for Revelations, that is actually the one route I don't yet have. Gamestop did't carry the Special Edition anymore. Although, with what you said about -

Revelations, I will definitely buy that route when I'm done with the others.

When I said, "I definitely reward you for your courage at all three files." I meant, " I definitely reward you for your courage at all four files." Sorry for the misspell. Nevertheless, you are a true fan to be playing all three routes and four files.

Thanks for the advise. I already bought Birthright in disc form the same day I bought Conquest. Although, for Revelations, it would be wise to get it on the e-shop. It is quite an amazing deal to get Revelations (a whole new game) for just half the price of the other two routes. Starting at Awakening, I was new to the series. The e-shop is very helpful in the way that I now can buy previous -

titles in the series without actually buying their consoles. And the price is outstandingly cheap. Have you ever played any of the games before Awakening?

Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood is amazing! My brother and I watched all of it along with Full Metal Alchemist (non manga version.) Both were exceptional, but I prefer Brotherhood more. Which season are you on?

The second season is great! Although, I must warn you, as you continue watching, prepare for epic amazement! A few of my favorite animes are (not in order): Attack on Titan Death Note Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood Full Metal Alchemist Your Lie in April Akame Ga Kill Noragami Sword Art Online Charlotte I have watched many more, but those are a few of my favorites.

I completely spaced out Seraph of the End. Seraph of the End is definitely on my favorites list (I haven't read the manga yet, but the anime is wonderful.) Besides Seraph of the End and Is it Wrong to Pick up Girls in a Dungeon, everything else is new to me. I am currently watching Inuyasha and Bleach right now, but I will definitely watch the other ones you mentioned too.

Your Lie in April is about a teen-age boy who was an exceptional pianist in his youth. After his mother died, he never played the piano again. Now, he meets a beautiful violinist who brings his love for music back. If I had to give one word to describe it (technically it's three), I would say that the whole series is one beautifully sad sympathy.

I'm glad to hear it. I just watched the trailer for Durara and Hai to Gensou no Grimgar. Both looked wonderful. Thank you again for your recommendations. I will let you know more after I watch the first episodes.

I just watched the first episode of Hai to Gensou no Grimgar. It was great! I am looking forward to continuing the series. Since the main character mentioned "cell-phone" without knowing what it was, it seems evident that they were in the modern world until whatever brought them to Grimgar occurred. Thank you for bring me into the series.

On Conquest (I'm a slow player), I finally got to the final chapter... and was massacred terribly. I am going to keep at it, however. Did you finish Conquest (as replaying it on normal mode) yet?

I see. Nonetheless, wonderful job at being in a marching band. I am homeschooled, so I have never been in one. Thanks. I'm taking a little break from Conquest right now to play Oracle of Ages, however. It's just too hard to go back in Conquest when every character I leveled up (quite a lot) are back to being in their pre_leveled up states. I will get over it soon, however, and try to finish

the game.

It is the best! I am currently fighting the main boss, Veran (by currently, I mean that my 3DS is paused in mid fight as I am writing this.) Seasons is great too, but Ages is my favorite. Have you won both?

Oh, I'm sorry about your old 3DS. Nonetheless, you are quite amazing to buy a New 3DS with your own money. For me, truthfully, I don't remember when I last paid for a game with my own money (by my own money, it's solely from birthday and holiday checks slowly building up over the years.) With that said, I hope I'm not spoiled... I only get big games and consols during birthday and holiday times.

Nevertheless, you are very good to have bought all electronic devices by yourself. It takes a lot of dedication to do said thing. Also, if you have the same account on your New 3DS, then you could download Ages and Seasons (for free, I think) onto your your New 3DS. It won't save your progress, but you won't have to spend any money in buying them again.

They do sound strict. Still, it takes a great encouragement to buy everything yourself. Also, though replaying Zelda games could seem a bit redundant, I have noticed that it helps when embarking on a Three Heart Challenge. The Three Heart Challenge adds more challenge (as implied in the name) and fun. If you don't want to, then I understand. Although, if you remember your passwords and replay

Ages or Seasons, then the Three Heart Challenge would add a lot more to your replay.

That does sound like a lot of fun. Twilight Princess (along with Majora's Mask) are probably my favorite Zelda games. With that said, I only have the Gamecube version and have never completed the enemy arena (I can't remember it's name.) Oh, and yes, ice is horrible! Even with many hearts, it was the ice monsters that killed me in the enemy arena. Nonetheless, enjoy TP. How is the Ganondorf

Amibo anyway? I have never bought any (yet) and am quite curious as to how they work.

No worries. It makes sense that the marching band would tire you out. Although, with that said, congratulations on preforming your own solo! In the past, I used to play violin. In every recital and performance, I always had an accompaniment with me (weather my teacher or a fellow student.) I could never keep accurate timing in my music without someone playing in the same rhythm. So, for you to

play solo for a full third of the song is quite stunning! You are very dedicated to be taking 4 hearts out for every 1 heart in TP HD. Winning does seem like a challenge, but I know you will have a lot of fun in the process. Also, today I have some news: I finally won Fire Emblem Conquest on hard mode. It was a very hard stage. Very, very hard. Nevertheless, on to Birthright!

Thanks. Oh, and the last stage was quite a lot of trouble. My brother was leaving for collage then, so we had to divide our games. Since I was almost done with Conquest, it was planned that I keep Birthright and my brother takes Conquest, meaning that I needed to win Conquest quickly. In the stage, I tried many different strategies for winning it, all eventually leading to my utter death. For my

last try, I embarked on a new strategy. I planned to shield my avatar (my strongest unit) in a cocoon with my stronger units closer to my avatar while my weaker units lay on the outer wall of my shield. Halfway to the main commander which I needed to defeat, my shield broke apart as enemies tore holes through it. I hid my main avatar in (as a partner occupying the same space) Niles. Niles, being

able to walk right through enemy space, helped my flee to the commander while the rest of my units were all brutally killed. As I avatar fought the commander, I became wounded where as one hit would kill me. On the enemy's turn, dozens of enemies each attacked me, all with 50% or 60% chance of hitting me. Somehow, I dodge all of them, giving way to my turn again. My first strike on the commander

would take out exactly 14 health, and the commander had exactly 14 health left. I killed him and won the stage and game. It was a very hard stage... Sorry if the explanation was a bit long. Anyway, after your amazing solo, is the marching band giving you more performances by yourself to come?

That is too bad for the band. The band must not yet see the potential and talent in you. Nonetheless, I am confident you will show them in no time. However, the concert is very good news! I wish you good luck on the upcoming concerts. I know you will perform excellently. The Brass is a very hard instrument, especially with the amount of blowing required to perform it (or at least I can imagine.

I never played it.) I can't even whistle! So, with you using your wind pipe to this extreme (enduring exhaustion and The Red Ring of Death), you are truly amazing and dedicated with your Brass. I know the band will recognize your dedication and talent in no time.

Third place is excellent! To perform in your condition must have taken a great deal courage and will power. That alone earns you a medal for dedication to play while enduring enormous pain all the while performing brilliantly. I am sorry for not seeing your post earlier to wish you luck. Nonetheless, luck was definitely with you. How is your jaw now?

With my brother (whom I always watched anime with) now in college, I finally finished Hai to Gensou no Grimgar. It was an excellent anime! Especially how they made you feel for the enemies they killed. Like your description, it was very dramatic but also funny. Thank you again for recommending this anime to me.

Hey, Tal! It has been a while since we last spoke, and I miss taking with you. You might not remember me, but I'm Kafei (Noah). How are you doing? How is your marching band going?

I am so happy to hear from you again, Tal :-) And no problem on the wait. I completely understand, and I am just glad to talk with you again. Still, I know you can nab another solo! I'm sure everyone was so impressed with your work and dedication for this year that they are probably already planning on giving you another solo. I am glad the band went well, then.

You're right... I'm not sure I gave you my name before. Nevertheless, I can't believe I waited that long to do so. Knowing you, I should have told you my name long before, but I guess it's better late than never :-) I hope Miiverse doesn't shut down, but with the Switch already here, it is a high possibility. With that said, you are right: we should meet up on another platform.

I missed you, but more than anything, I'm happy you're back. Again, it's completely OK and I understand your leaving. But, if you want to talk again, and not because of guilt, but if you truly want to talk again, then I will love to continue talking.

However, if you're just doing this because of guilt, then I completely understand and we can go our separate ways. But, only if you're doing this because you want to, then I would love to continue our talk and become even better friends, Tal.
