Pet peeves: The return (Part 3)

Does it?
It still doesn’t help me find the S Ranks though.
Old Hunt LS died.

I should put more effort into blue mage. I got to 70 but bounced off Masked Carnivale right away since it seems high effort.

I never understood that. Isn’t he the same age as Ash. Like 10-12?
What is the driving age in Japan?

But if they’re sending children out to travel the world unsupervised at 10 years old I don’t see why they wouldn’t also be able to drive.
Alternative explanation: Gary’s rich, and rich people can do what they want.

If the punishment for a crime is a fine, that means it’s legal for the rich.

oh boy thanks “next episode preview” for literally telling me a major character is going to die, love love love that!

The more important question is, do they give me Centurio Seals as well?

No, Masked Carnivale just gives gil, allied seals and poetics. And style points, obviously :sunglasses:

Side benefit: as I understand it a team of BLUs is the best way to grind our tomestones for the current moogle event if that strikes your fancy - aurum vale apparently can be cleared in less than 5 minutes with the right setup, and I assume that power would carry on for future tomestone events too.

That doesn’t really interest me though, I crunched the numbers and since I’m doing roulettes daily anyway I’ll be able to afford everything I want without any extra grinding.

Aight just gonna lvl BLU between events then, I don’t need any of that, except gil for housing later.

I am already mentally ready to run Aurum Vale as much as I want for the things I want as a tank.
And yeah a tank+3 BLU can clear AV in 4-5min

What’s worse?

That or when the preview shows things that blatantly don’t happen in the next episode? Not even taking scenes from the next episode out of context. Just straight up not happening.

I watched a show a few years ago back that did that for the final episode. They showed the protagonist dying and not a single frame of that preview was in the next episode.

The show was pretty mid anyway.

If they leaned into that hard and every episode preview was just random stuff that didn’t happen, occasionally sprinkled in with the odd thing that does happen, I might appreciate it honestly. It would definitely have to be on a whimsy or light hearted show though, you can’t really sell that sort of ridiculousness with a serious/grounded piece.

If it was a one-off then that’s just viewer bait I guess and that’s lame.

It was for that show I watched. Every preview up to that point was pretty exact, the last one was just deceptive.

Not a great show. I watched it all and I struggle to really say anything specific about it, aside from the fact that there was one admittedly really cool episode where the characters enter a book and for that whole episode the art style is completely different. Honestly it looked better than the normal art style the show used.

Can’t even remember the name of it, although I’m trying to.

ah the hell’s kitchen speciale

where you get lots of weird drama beats shown in the preview, and then literally nothing happens because they spliced together syllables to make up drama

anyway, high octane coronaoe2 gaming got me nauseated, i hate this life

Elden ring is what’s helping me cope and prevent the top of my head from rocketing away into the stratosphere. Now it only bounces like a lid of a boiling pot.

As is the custom, he suffers generic videogame protagonist disease where he’s a handsome brown haired man with no personality so that you can self-insert for immersion. Which is a fundamental mistake, 'cause not everyone identifies with a handsome brown haired man nor just treats a main character like a set of boots to fill.

Casting also went with a frankly horrifyingly bland voice for him but it could’ve been worse, latching onto the “I grew up on anime” crowd for broader appeal.

Truth in fiction.

what does this mean
what is a voice actor for the “I grew up on anime” crowd

A generic monotone built on a Japanese cultural norm of the cool guy/gal being very stoic, aloof and unemotional, rarely raising their voice in a way that makes them very dull unless you’re conditioned into thinking it’s a positive feature demonstrating badassery.
