Mostly Game of Thrones Edition. Greetings, my Westerosi window envelopes As you can probably guess, last weeks episode of Game of Thronesand its increasing dominance over the pop culture landscapehas filled the ol postmans stolen mailbag to the brim. There are a few spoilers for last weeks episode, but more importantly, an answer to a question we should have been asking ourselves since the first episode Should we want Daenerys and Jon Snow to fuck Aunt, Man. Aaron W. So Ive been struggling with this question a lot Is it ok to ship JonDany On the con side, they are aunt and nephew, which is gross. On the pro side it would sidestep Dany needing Jon to bend the knee and is a solution that the northmen would probably accept it would be thematically consistent fireice and it would eliminate almost all of the tension for trying to root for two characters who are at odds with each other due to circumstances beyond their control and the expectations of their subjects. Given that, I still would come out on the con side, except that we already know that some degree of inbreeding e. Westeros and that the Targaryens in particular practiced an even more exclusive e. So the auntnephew dynamic is an absolute deal breaker to modern audiences, but maybe wouldnt be the worst thing in Westeros Lots of reasons it would be good, but one BIG reason it is unacceptable. Thoughts Shipping is shipping. Ive seen worse than aunt and nephew. Much worse. And the show is definitely presenting them as future romantic partnersfuckbuddies, which makes it as legitimate as these things get. Their familial relationship may freak you out, but thats sort of the point. GRRM wants to show a medieval, feudal type era with all the awfulness most fantasies skip over. The relentless sexism, the rape and torture, the horror that regular people could and did experience constantly as the result of what the nobility chose to doyou can absolutely complain about how omnipresent it is in his stories andor how its portrayed, but its not inaccurate to the source material of that reality. And one part of that reality is medieval and certainly ancient nobilitys tendency toward incest, especially between uncles and niecesto the point where its got its own name, avunculate marriage. As you said, the booksshow have already shown that Targaryens have been more than willing to marry within the family in order to keep their bloodline pure, so theres a precedent for Jon and Dany starting a relationship. And since were talking about an aunt and nephew here since Jon is the son of Danys deceased brother Rhaegar and not uncleniece, a JonDany hook up would kind of strike a blow for Westerosi gender equality, in a tiny, messed up way. At any rate, as a Targaryen, Daenerys is obviously going to be down with getting down with Jon Snow, as it would be kind of meaningless to sieze the Iron Throne without leaving a new Targaryen line to carry on ruling. I am far more skeptical that Jon would be cool with sleeping with his aunt, given the rest of Westeros isnt nearly as cool with incest hence Cersei and Jaimes hiding of their sexual relationshipwell, until Cersei took the throne and decided that yes, in fact, as queen she gets to have sex with anyone she wants, and everyone else has to deal with it. Or be tortured and killed. But Jons problem is easily solved by keeping his parentage from him until after Ice and Fire have fucked each other. In fact, I suspect Bran is keepingwill keep the truth of Jons parentage from everyone until after Daenerys gets pregnant for that very reason. The Three Eyed Raven knows this has to happen, so mums the word for now Or GRRMor the show, for that matter, since we know its diverging from GRRMs plan in major wayscould just throw a curveball and have Dany marry Gendry, the closest thing King Robert had to a legitimate heir, combining the Targaryen and Baratheon lines to create a progeny whose claim to the throne is unassailable throughout Westeros. Actually, thats a pretty good ideaJaime in the Water. Brett H. I see people talking everywhere about how Jaime could possibly be alive, but how Hes way at the bottom of the lake and in full armor.

I Final Fantasy, also known as Final Fantasy I or the Original Final Fantasy in collections and. No way Bronn can hold his breath long enough to get down there, cut all the straps to all the pieces of the armor, pull them off, and then also pull him to safety before they both drown. Im not going to say its unrealistic, since Jaime was pushed into the water to avoid a dragon, but the point of Game of Thrones is that it has fantasy elements but its still realistic in the basic laws of physics. Order Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within Movie' title='Order Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within Movie' />So isnt Jaime getting rescued impossible You bring up a good point about fantasy, in that the best fantasy has a set of rules, even if the audience doesnt know them, and doesnt break them. Someone suddenly having a hoist person out of lake spell to save Jaime would be dumb. Tyrion running down the hell and begging Dany to have Drogon fish the dude who was about to kill her out of the lake is more realistic for Go. T, but implausible in terms of Danys character and the time it would take for Tyrion to get down to Dany and ask for her to save his brother. So that leaves Bronn. Heres one thing we all need to make our peace with first, right now Game of Thrones the TV show has begun playing fast and loose with strict reality in favor of presenting the most exciting story possible. This is how armies and fleets are moving gargantuan distances in between and sometimes even during episodes. Its why Tyrion can pick out Jaime from half a mile away amid a battlefield full of smoke and destruction. Its why Cersei and her allies can suddenly kick ass or all of Highgardens gold can get into Kings Landing with a mutter and a handwave.

Order Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within Movie' title='Order Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within Movie' />There are only nine episodes left, total, as of the time this mailbag hits the nerdernet. The show doesnt have any time to waste. Yes, part of the reason the books are so good is because they were sprawling and complicated in the way life is, and yes, the show is 1. But the choices were to either have the story on fast forward so it actually ends next year or for Daenerys to have her first battle with Cerseis forces in the season eight finale. So with all that said Since Game of Thrones has forgone its sense of realism a bit, I can see it having Bronn manage to dive down to Jaime, cutting him out of his armor, and dragging him to the surface before he fatally drowns. I also, as I mentioned in my recap this week, think it doesnt make any narrative sense for Bronn to push Jaime out of the way of a giant cone of dragon breath into a lake, only to have him immediately drownif Weiss and Benioff are going to kill the character, having Jaime get turned into cinders by Drogon is a much, much cooler death. So I think the show will forgo realism I mean, how was that lake at the side of that road a full 3. Bronn will cut Jaime out of his armor and drag him to the surface because Jaime is the one whos going to give him a castle, after all, and the Lannister will probably live to fight another day.

Postman,After re watching GOT from the beginning a few times, I believe that Ser Barristan Selmy is one character whose presence would enhance Season 7 while not distracting from the current main plots of the show. Ser Barristan would have been the most solid member of Daenerys Queensguard due to military and combat experience, but his relationship to Rhaegar is most interesting.

The world lies on the brink of destruction. Only a select few may be able to save it. Tagline. This article is about the game. For the information about the games subseries, see Final Fantasy X series. Final Fantasy X is the tenth installment in the Final Fantasy series. It follows the story of Tidus and Yuna and was the first Final Fantasy to appear on a sixth generation console, namely the Play. Station 2. Due to Final Fantasy Xs success and popularity, it spawned the first ever direct game sequel to a Final Fantasy game Final Fantasy X 2, released in 2. Spira two years later through the eyes of Yuna. This came about as the result of an initial concept of spinning off Yuna and Rikku into individual titles of their own, which was later combined into one game. Final Fantasy X is the first in the series to use full voice acting instead of the previous method of scrolling subtitles. The implementation of voice acting limits the players ability to change the characters names and Tidus is the only playable character, apart from aeons, whose name can be changed, and therefore never appears in the scripted dialogue. A remastered HD version of Final Fantasy X was announced at the Sony Press Conference in Japan on September 1. Play. Station 3 and Play. Station Vita. 6 The Play. Station 4 version was released in May 2. Download The New Shedd Movie. A PC version was released on May 1. Gameplay Edit The Sphere Grid Edit. Main article Sphere Grid. Character growth is undertaken by use of the Sphere Grid. By gaining AP from battles and collecting different types of spheres, characters move through the grid, raising stats and learning abilities. The sphere grid allows the player to evolve and take on mixed abilities, meaning they can learn a wide array of Black Magic, White Magic, Defense and Attack skills. An extra grid was included with the International Version see below, which has thirty six fewer nodes, and undefined paths for each character, meaning they can take any role they choose. Battle system Edit. The CTB from Final Fantasy X. Unlike the past few games where the battle system used ATB, Final Fantasy X uses the Conditional Turn Based Battle CTB system, or the Count Time Battle system in Japan. Basically, CTB is a turn based system, which does not operate in rounds the order of the turns does not guarantee each participant in a battle will have an equal number of turns. Characters with higher speed will be able to take more turns than slower characters, thus making speed more important than in other turn based battle systems. Furthermore, spells and abilities such as Haste can modify the turn order called the Act List, as some abilities require a longer cooldown time. In general, weaker abilities tend to require less cooldown time, thus introducing a trade off between speed and power. Menu screen. The battle system is distinguished from the usual flow of the Active Time Battle system by the fact that when a characters turn begins, all action stops while the player decides upon an action. This shifts the focus from reflexes and quick decision making to strategy and careful planning. Unlike in previous games in the series, the player is able to change characters on the go during battle. Minigames Edit. Blitzball The feature minigame of Final Fantasy X is blitzball, a cross between football soccer, and water polo, played entirely underwater in a giant sphere pool at Luca. Recruiting players is another big part of blitzball getting new and better players, and knowing who to cut and when, can be the thing that makes or breaks the team. Blitzball is known throughout the races of Spira as a distraction from the death and destruction that Sin brings. Chocobo Racing Featured less predominantly than in previous games, chocobo training and racing game can be played in the Calm Lands. The player participates in several challenges to train a chocobo and then uses those skills to race another chocobo at Remiem Temple. Monster Arena When fiends from all over Spira are captured using special weapons, they appear in the Monster Arena, also located at the Calm Lands. These fiends can be fought at any time for a fee, and certain combinations can be bred into tougher enemies. Celestial Weapons Each playable character in the game has their distinctive ultimate weapon, which require some hard work and traveling to acquire. Most locations also have smaller minigames, such as the Butterfly Hunt in Macalania Woods, lightning dodging in Thunder Plains and the Valley of the Cactuars in the Bikanel Desert. See each location page for more details. Synopsis Edit. Spira is a continent resembling a large island. In terms of climate, Spira ranges from tropical islands Besaid and Kilika and a scorching desert Bikanel Island to temperate towns Luca and the icy Mt. Gagazet. Spiras population is made up of a variety of six races humans divided into Spirians and the outcast Al Bhed faction, Hypello, Cactuars, Ronso, and Guado. Characters Edit. Final Fantasy X features seven main playable characters and one temporary guest character. The party of Final Fantasy X. Tidus The main male protagonist, a rising blitzball player who is sent to Spira following the destruction of his hometown, Zanarkand. With seemingly no way of knowing what has happened to him, he becomes guardian to Yuna on her pilgrimage in order to learn about the conflict he has been dragged into. At the start of the game Tidus can be renamed, as no character refers to him by name. Yuna The main female protagonist, a summoner who is on a pilgrimage to defeat Sin, accompanied by her guardians. She is armed with great power and determination as she learns how she can save the tortured world. Auron A mysterious man who watches out for Tidus and Yuna. He has been hailed as a legendary guardian, due to accompanying Braska on his pilgrimage ten years ago. However, his seemingly cynical nature might just hide the truth he witnessed then. Kimahri A Ronso, the only non human member of the party, who befriended Yuna when she was a child and has guarded her ever since. Though disgraced by his tribe, Kimahri wishes for nothing more than to keep Yuna safe. Wakka One of Yunas childhood friends from Besaid. As captain of the infamously pathetic Besaid Aurochs, he has resolved to retire from blitzball and join Yuna on her pilgrimage, bringing along his good willed cheer. Lulu One of Yunas childhood friends from Besaid. A black mage who had accompanied summoners on their failed pilgrimages, she is knowledgeable of the world of Spira, and her frequency to scold others only shows how much she is concerned for her companions safety. Rikku A spunky Al Bhed girl, and the first person Tidus encounters upon arriving in Spira. Though considered a heathen amongst the majority of Spiras population, she only desires to protect Yuna, although her means of doing so sometimes conflict with the goals of the rest of the party. Guest characters. Seymour Guado A male half human and half Guado, Maester of Yevon, and leader of the Guado. Seymour is well liked by his people and skilled in the art of summoning, but his ideas on what is best for Spira are questionable. Tidus is a blitzball player in a glittering metropolis known as Zanarkand. During the Memorial Cup to honor Tiduss father Jecht, a legendary blitzball player who went missing ten years ago, the stadium is destroyed by a colossal monster that attacks the city.
