But what about knights in anime? Do they still ride horses to battle while carrying a steel sword and wearing heavy armor? Perhaps, their combat prowess is now infused with magical or supernatural elements. Whether they lean toward a traditional and realistic depiction or a more unconstrained, creative take, these knights have definitely made their mark in anime. As always, some spoilers ahead. 20. Ikki Kurogane Anime: Rakudai Kishi no Cavalry Chivalry of a Failed Knight is a school romance anime with magic elements (in particular, it’s an ecchi and harem series)....

Romance is an excellent selling point. Even if some men make fun of romantic comedies and Twilight, we’re all suckers for a good romance – and JRPGs are a low-profile way we get our fill. Some of these characters are so lovely, we end up falling in love for real. Whether you’ve only got a slight crush or want to travel to Japan to marry your favorite 2D gal, we’ve all got our top JRPG waifus in this ranking....

But which shows have left a lasting legacy? Should all good mecha anime feature loads of explosions? I believe mecha is just as rich as any other genre, offering insights to humanity while also being deeply entertaining and otherworldly. So if you’d like to refine your knowledge and dive into all things mecha, I’ve prepared a list of the best-of-the-best right here. 20. Hoshi no Koe (Voices of a Distant Star) What a better way to start my list than talking about an under-appreciated Makoto Shinkai project from 2002....

It’s basically a simulation of WWII, where the outcome isn’t dictated by what’s written in the history books. And you learn pretty quickly that war isn’t only about shooting soldiers and manning tanks. The true depth of the game lies in how it gives you a bird’s eye view of everything that goes on during wartime –politics, diplomacy, and even economy. But if you’ve already played through this so many times and really want some fresh campaigns, modding is here to help....

Anyone can go out one day and do a bunch of good deeds like helping grandma cross the street or getting a kitten down from a tree – but if you don’t stop someone’s evil plans, it’s hard to call yourself a hero. Nintendo and the developers they work with know this very well, so the best games on Nintendo platforms usually have pretty awesome villains. As awesome as they are evil....

That’s not how anything works in the 2020s, but it’s precisely how it works in Civilization 6. Anyone with a Settler and a dream can establish a city – but will it stand the test of time or be swallowed by the rising waters? That depends on you, the player, and the civilization you choose to play as. So if you want to establish naval domination, these civs are the place to start....

Every culture in the game has an ethos that characterizes them. There are seven different ones to choose from, all of which have their advantages. But as with most things in CK3, there is no single Ethos that trumps all others in every scenario imaginable. All of them provide decent bonuses and can complement your desired playstyle in each campaign. A culture’s ethos enables and disables certain types of royal courts, potentially locking you out of a desired one....

True polymorph is one of those spells. It harkens back to the magical transformations depicted in fairy tales and ancient myths. True Polymorph Spell Details Type: 9th Level Transmutation Casting Time: One Action Range: 30 feet Components: V, S, M (a small amount of mercury, gum arabic, and smoke) Duration: 1 hour (Concentration) True polymorph has so many specific details about how it works that I won’t be breaking it down entirely here....

More specifically, Interject is a tank Role Action, which means all tanking jobs will unlock it at level 18 (not tied to any specific class). It’s part of a small, shared set of utility skills useful to every tank in FFXIV. When Would I Use Interject? You can’t interject everything, unfortunately. Most of those big nasty attacks that Eorzea’s dungeon bosses throw in your general direction are still going to come at you....

So what actually happened to Thancred? Let’s find out. Warning: significant spoilers for A Realm Reborn, Heavensward, AND Shadowbringers may follow! Players are first introduced to Thancred Waters around level 17, upon accepting the quest “A Wild Rose By Any Other Name”. He’s every part the traditional dashing rogue at first. A little bit arrogant, has a way with the ladies. Like all of the Scions of the Seventh Dawn though, Thancred goes through a huge array of trials and changes to become the almost emblematic Gunbreaker we see today....

Tank stance has a different name on every tanking job, but the effect is always the same. Gladiators/Paladins have Iron Will, Marauders/Warriors have Defiance, Dark Knights use Grit, and Gunbreakers have Royal Guard. So, different names – but they all read “Significantly increases enmity generation” when you hover over them. You’d be forgiven for not understanding that as a rookie tank. All it means is that you’ll get way more enemy attention than your allies in a fight, which is what we want....

Like Piety for healers, Tenacity is a tank’s role specific statistic. You’ll gain it by equipping gear, or powering up pieces of gear with Tenacity Materia. You can see how much Tenacity a piece of gear offers you in the item’s window. All jobs in XIV have an optimal stat priority. These stat priorities are your way of knowing which stats are the most important for you – and there’s a ton of resources available to read into your job’s best options, so it’s well worth researching early on....

But why is this game mode so interesting? Twisted League has increased experience rates, which means training goes by a lot faster. Plus it comes with increased drop rates, and various “relic rewards” which make the game mode easier – such as unlimited run, being able to choose your slayer task, and attacking at faster than normal speeds. In the league, points are obtained for completing various tasks and milestones....

This is the only way to farm Magic Spheres in FFX. Jumbo Flan is unlocked after capturing three of each Flan-type fiend in Spira. Here’s a list of what you’ll need: Water Flan (in Besaid) Thunder Flan (on Mushroom Rock Road) Snow Flan (on the Djose Highroad) Ice Flan (on Lake Macalania) Flame Flan (in the Calm Lands) Dark Flan (on Mt. Gagazet) Battling the Jumbo Flan Annoyingly, the Jumbo Flan is immune to physical attacks....

Deathbell plants also grow near some buildings in the city of Morthal itself. Or you can also buy Deathbell from alchemy merchants. Most of them will have a few pieces of Deathbell plants for sale, but for farming them in bulk your best bet is at the Drajkmyr Marsh. But one other option for buying deathbell is from Enthir in the College of Winterhold, who always sells three pieces of Deathbell that he restocks every two days....

You can find these nobodies across Radiant Garden (especially Cavern of Remembrance), and in some places in Twilight Town, which is arguably the best place to farm these. You can also find Dancers in The World That Never Was, going to “Proof of Existence” and farming in “Naught’s Approach”. But to farm these drops faster, Twilight Town will be your best move. Just land in the Mansion Basement Computer Room, then exit towards the “Basement Hall”, and then go to the “Basement Corridor”....

He’s gone toe to toe with Titans, Titan shifters, and crazy people with guns alike. But how does he fair in the greater anime world? Today we’re going to answer that question by listing a handful of characters that could likely beat Levi Ackerman. And it should be mentioned that I’m not talking about Goku and Saitama, nothing OP. Rather we’re considering some more interesting matchups here. Let’s begin!...

Well fret not. There are many noteworthy series that won’t eat up your free time each day. Yes, their running time is significantly shorter than typical romance anime, but they don’t skimp on the quality romance storytelling. Many are just as good(if not better) than much longer titles. So here are my favorite short romance anime series to keep you entertained when you’re flooded with deadlines. 10. Looking Up At The Half-Moon Hanbun no Tsuki ga Noboru Sora has 24-minute episodes, but it only has six episodes....

We’ve done the best Stands, the best characters, and the best parts… but that’s too much good stuff. Let’s flip it around and play devil’s advocate here. Below we’ll tear into some of the worst or most inconvenient Stands in JoJo. 10. Khnum Khnum is the Stand of Oingo in Stardust Crusaders, and has dreadful statistics – an ‘A’ in persistence, and ‘E’ in everything else. He can change his appearance, height, weight, scent, and voice, but not clothing or personality....

Education impacts how quickly experience is gathered, but you’re not limited in your lifestyle choice. There are ways to improve you experience gain, like certain character traits, dynasty legacies and cultural pillars. Gathering enough experience will earn you a point that you can then spend on a lifestyle tree. Each category has 3 trees for a total of 15. This list will rank perks considering their ease of access (how early in a tree they are), uniqueness, and usefulness....
