u/Repulsive-Control-75

Thank you for explaining, i get it now, even with the extra turns she still takes the same time to leave ult as if she was E0

From what i understood, Pearl's CB retention extends the effective CB of the unit she's ulting, however, with now being corrected about SW's extra turns and also watching some showcases i don't think this changes anything for Sparxie, even if the synergy is somewhat still there.

I've been watching people get to 200 CB on Sparxie after 1 or 2 turns, the moment AHA ults she's already getting 10/12 Punchline per rocket which removes the need for Pearl's ult.

I think however that you might still wanna use Pearl's E0 ult on Sparxie, given that the overall punchlines from Pearl's ult and Sparxie's turn would equate to an E2 Pearl ult (60 from Pearl and almost if not 60 from Sparxie's buffed rockets and normal SP consumption in the whole turn), i'll have to test it once i get into the PS.

Thank you for correcting me, time to edit the post.

I think the last chapters will pay off, if anything chapter 5 has started this pay-off with showing what Ralsei is capable of and giving us a taste of his eventual complete character arc.

As for Susie, i actually think it's nice that she's the reflection of our obliviousness while maintaining a solid ground as honestly more of a main character persona than Kris (she's the one usually talking, answering to people, showing bravery and actively acting as an Hero the most, only thing she's lacking is the POV)

As for Kris, i do find him very interesting and i love that the chapter 3 knight boss fight showed us what a Kris who's actually trying to fight can do after Ralsei and Susie get downed, it helps remembering that HE IS the captain of the team, the main dps, he just chooses to hold back for some reason (either because it would ruin his plans or because it would make the adventures shorter).

The main thing i am waiting for and that has been aluded to since chapter 2 is the complete subversion of the roles that characters have in the team, with Susie becoming an healer, Ralsei becoming a magic dps and Kris staying as the human hero because it's his role OR he gets switched for the vessel

Y'all are so ungrateful, we just got the Ebony Deer buff tf you mean Novaflare Sunday

I think it's because there's a very big disconnect between the younger and older generations taking part in the aesthetic (which will happen considering the aesthetic not only is beautiful but also public for use which enables anyone of any age to take part in it).

The current state of Frutiger Aero with modern audiences is usually seen as "immature" or "unauthentic" due to the removal of simplicity and core elements in exchange for a more general and over-stimulating take on the aesthetic (this is what people on the internet are calling the FA flanderization)

I've been open about this in some posts in this sub so i'll repeat what i think again, i do not like the over-stimulating pictures with 1000 apps from the era plastered over the screen alongside disc players and characters who are anything but frutiger aero (Miku, Sonic, etc...), HOWEVER, that doesn't mean people shouldn't be able to do so if they want to. Once again, the aesthetic is for public use and my opinion is my opinion, not something objective that should be taken as rule or law.

I am from 2006, i grew up with my mother's windows 7 laptop, the wii and the WiiU mainly and that's what better represents Frutiger Aero for me, yet there are people who look at windows XP or Vista and think the same even tho it's a different thing, the new members should be enabled to do the same and feel welcome doing so regardless of Age.

Also, i really don't mind people sharing their opinions on what the people are doing on TikTok because it doesn't change shit about the aesthetic itself, i do wish people were more critical rather than offensive about it tho

When it comes to music, there are some creators who take a focus centered around the 2006 song styles found in the consoles of the era, their names are Alyzea and Xploshi, you also have Temcandoanyting but their producer tag is inserted in songs and could ruin the immersion.

As for media itself, this sub is pretty good already, i don't think tiktok is worth it since you might encounter stuff that is not really frutiger.

Pc costumizations and apps that change your windows into a more windows 7/xp centric style are nice as long as you trust the source code, i have used the windows 7 Menu and logo alongside aero glass windows on my pc and it rocked but had to remove it due to some bugs.

Games are not easy to find, and those who title themselves FA games tend to be a take on the more popularized parts of the aesthetic than the OG intent, best i can do is grabbing a wii that you might have or 2nd hand and play it it for a small amount of time, doing Miis is fun enough.

The 3DS is also worth grabbing imo

I think this is mostly due to most people in this sub and the FA community growing up with Windows 7 and older Android models aswell.

I never had a macbook, but i used my mother's windows laptop a lot when i was a kid to play flash games and purble plaza, so whenever i think of the aesthetic windows 7 comes to mind as one of the best example.

But yes, the aesthetic isn't exclusive to microsoft, it was in a lot of eletronic devices and even used by businesses to appeal to the public, the attribution of its creation probably comes from Microsoft being the enterprise that pushed the aesthetic forward the most

Who doesn't in this sub tbh, but unfortunately we have to accept that the world is how it is.

It's quite unfortunate since it isn't impossible to reduce carbon emissions completely, adapt to less buildings in total and preserve wild-life and plant-life but it won't happen cause humanity is not willing to do such an effort.

This isn't a criticism to humanity, it is where i belong, earth is my home and where i was born, but it's the truth, and most you can do is look at the fore-front aesthetic of what could've been to find atleast a little bit of comfort that, in another reality, our world healed
