[D] How you like me now?

Rundown: [community profile] rpanons is an anonymous community for role-play related topics. This place serves as a forum for game discussions, canon discussions, RP solicitations (ATP, game ads, open memes), and advice. The occasional off topic comment is inevitable, but please keep heated social and political topics to their respective communities. Posting them here will only get them frozen. Subsequent threads made to bypass a freeze will then be deleted.


Temporary Change: To reduce the strain on Dreamwidth's servers new entries will go up when a post reaches 3,000. Please refrain from spamming so we can stretch these entries for a little longer. We don't need several threads soliciting photo evidence of body parts, and we already know that we only care about yaoi. Failure to comply will only result in deletions and butthurt. "People may notice site slowdown/cache error pages. We're working on fixing. You can help: finish posts at 3k comments, not 5k or more." - Dreamwidth@Twitter

Rules:

Do not post pornographic or shocking images.
Do not share private entries, plurks, chat logs, etc.
Do not use this community as your social/political/hatespeech soapbox.
Do not be redundant. One page does not need three or more threads on one topic/theme.
Do not treat this comm like your personal Plurk or Twitter. Off-topic happens, but it should be open for discussion and not just a play-by-play of your life. No one cares.


Concerns?


Navigate:

Hey! Do not post anything outside of these threads. It will be deleted.
Go be cute and fun and fun and funny over here.

Would playing a warlord from Pokemon Conquest without having played any Sengoku Musou/Samurai Warriors games be doable or a lost cause?

I think it would be doable, fellow anon! I play a character from Pokemon Conquest without playing the Samurai Warriors games.

I'd say so? I haven't played any of those games, though, so my opinion probs isn't worth much, but it was my understanding that conquest was a different continuity than the other dead SW/etc. games.

While the anon above is right and the games are very much separate continuities, I personally found that watching some Samurai Warriors videos/LPs on Youtube and just generally doing some research helped me develop a better grasp on my pokemurai of choice. The core of their personalities remains the same, and though they're pretty clear just from playing Pokemon Conquest alone, they are better fleshed out in their original canon.

That said, yes, it's totally possible to pick up a warlord without previous knowledge of SW! And if you're going with that, then I definitely advise you to read the official Pokemon Conquest webcomic, too. Everyone makes at least a cameo, while other characters play bigger roles, so depending on who you're planning to pick up, it might be helpful! Here (http://koei.wikia.com/wiki/Pok%C3%A9mon_Conquest#Related_Media) you can find links to the videos on NicoNico and here (https://docs.google.com/folder/d/0B5ice_sWESvRSGdhZ0dfY0xKYUU/edit?pli=1) you can find translations.

Also, also. Out of curiosity, who are you planning to play, anon? /chinhands in your direction

Ah! I've seen the NicoNico webcomics but haven't seen any translations at all. Very helpful, I must say. I will definitely keep all of your advice in mind; thank you!

I'm entertaining picking up Hanbei and/or Masamune, though I haven't reached their respective storylines yet so I'll probably hold out until I do one or the other's. (I haven't picked up the game in a while and left off in the middle of Hideyoshi's story, so I at least have incentive to play further!)

Always glad to help a fellow Conquest anon!

Also, I might not play anyone of direct interest to you, but I will sit here and encourage you to pick them up, anyway! Seriously, there are not enough people playing characters from Pokemon Conquest out there, this is totally unacceptable. :c
