FE4: Fujimori Nuts manga review

Just to document the total waste of my weekend productivity...

So. After getting as far as I could with the Oosawa manga and completing the Fuyuki one, I decided to give the "comic" Fujimori Seisen no Keifu manga another chance. I've seen many fans swear that it's the best adaptation of FE4 around.

I'm not going to agree until the rest is translated and I see where it's going, but it's pretty darned good thus far (it's been translated into English up to the recruitment of Jamuka). It just comes at the material from a different approach-- instead of trying to wring it for drama, as Oosawa does, Fujimori goes all tongue-in-cheek, fourth-wall-busting, absurdist.

( Spoilers! And opinions. )

I recommend that people at least give this one a look.

FE13: Special Weapons

OK.  So in the last post about DLC, I posted a list of weapons ganked from a Serenes Forest thread.  They are special weapons named after or seemingly customized to former Lord characters.  I thought at the time, given that Leaf and Roy were at the top of the list, that this was a possible clue toward future DLC content.

It's a little more complex than that.  SF has partial list of all the FE13 weapons up now, and there are "tribute" weapons in each major category.  The full lists that I'll link to contain potential gameplay spoilers, so I'll summarize here.  Weapons will be ordered as they are on the list.  I will not go into the details of what each weapon does unless I feel it relevant.
