Derp :lol:
Yeah, in Genealogy you want to train everyone since you can deploy everyone you get at once, and the game expects you to.

Who did you end up pairing Aira with?

Dew. I was told they are a good couple stats-wise and there was something cool about pairing her with the little thief that distracted her from the castle.

I never even heard this word until mid to late 2000s. I always called them shooters. Some people apparently started calling FPS games shooters, and that made things messy. Fie upon them, I say!

I used to always call them Space Shooters, regardless of where tings took place.

Same here, I didn't even know the term "shoot-em-up" until I joined this forum. :lol:

Some magazine I read back in the day used to call them "Shoot-Em-Ups", so it was not hard for me to adjust.

You probably will considering my bad luck with the memory card my system came with :lol: (especially because I refuse to play any version other than 20th anniversary or dawn which dawn I don't have right now so I have to find another memory card and try and blast through that section before melmond for the umptenth time....) Especially since I think I was already halfway through Gulg before the save decided to wig out on me....

My systems: NES, SNES, N64, Gamecube, Wii, original gba, gba sp(001), ds lite, 3ds, vita, psp, PSone(101 model) ps2, ps3(320gb model), ps4, retron 5, and Dreamcast.
