  • Trails in the Sky, the first one. I bounced off the game not once, but twice. I liked the combat, but it felt like all I was doing was quests from the guild’s notice board, so I quit. But then I kept seeing TitS (heh) on various “Best of” lists, so I was like “FINE. I’ll try to push through one last time”. And then it clicked and I pretty much marathoned the entire trilogy.

    The first game is good, buuuut I still feel like it’s the weakest in the Trilogy. Story-wise, you get to the good stuff way, way later in the game. Everything that comes before is world building. And it’s good, too. You get to see how the world works, how different regions of Liberl (the country you’re in) operate and you also get a small glimpse of Zemurian politics (Zemuria being the name of the continent Liberl is on). This also gets vastly expanded upon in the second game.

    I’m glad I tried it, because the writing is great, the music is incredible and I really dig the combat. If anyone wants to try it, definitely do. Just know that the first game is a slow burn. Worry not, though. Once the plot starts picking up steam, it doesn’t stop.





  • Then I guess I don’t understand the question? Was it not what the most common name in the world is? I don’t have many sources to go off of, but according to the site I posted, Mohammed is the most common male name in Africa, Asia and the most common in the world. If it’s the most common name in the world, it would make sense that it also happens to be the most common in the muslim community and possibly other communities as well.

    If this was not the question, then what was?



  • The issue I had with that particular scene is not that she had force powers. She comes from a force-sensitive family, so her having latent force powers makes sense. Key word here being “latent”.

    What absolutely did NOT make any fucking sense is A: Leia not dying of asphyxiation when she enters the vacuum of space and B: Leia just happening to know how to use force pull without any prior training. Like, they don’t even try to hand-wave it off by saying something like “Oh, she spent some time training with Luke when you weren’t looking” or something.
