What does sound/music have to do with Tap Battle?

I never understood it. I just tap when they arrive at the red box, and it works as long as I'm fast enough. I actually play it with the sound off most of the time.

It's for people that want to play with the music on. Just preference. For instance, there are some games that I don't play with the in-game music on (or if I do I have headphones on to listen to something else) like Warframe, while there are other games that I play with the in-game sounds and music up so I can hear it, like Monster Hunter.

Fire Emblem Heroes is one of those games that I hardly listen to, or pay attention to, the sounds and music in game, whereas the regular Fire Emblem games I play with the in-game sounds and music up to hear it.

You don't need the sound to play Tap Battle, but the taps are in sync with certain beats of the music. (I hope what I said makes some sense; I don't have much knowledge of the proper music terms.)

I don't know if it's that my tablet's response times aren't accurate, but no matter how much I use the sync function in the settings, I find that tapping when my ears tell me to tap tends to make things worse for me so I normally play all maps (which for me means at least a week) without music before I'll turn the music back on. Even then I continue to follow my eyes rather than my ears and just let them amuse me with where they decided to put the taps in relation to the music.

And for anyone who didn't look at Master NaCl's question about favourite music a day or two ago, I have a master's degree in Western classical piano. I'm putting that forward to say Nogitsune is anything but crazy.

What are you talking about. I'm just apologising that you have an actual relative that was born that way, and I here I am playing along with this other jackass.

Oh, I wasn't sure because I don't find it catastrophic. It did create a lot of challenges for the house, and I suppose yes it was hard for everyone involved, but it created a lot of opportunities for learning. The difference between how I turned out and how the sibling or siblings (don't want to reveal too much on the internet) younger than my autistic sister turned out is...rather stark. There were far worse things in my years of youth than my sister being autistic. Though in the end I guess I wouldn't say it's exactly a good thing that she suffered autism, so thanks for the condolence.

Among other things, it did help prepare me to understand the kinds of truths behind stuff like "every FEH character has a place if you know how to look." It's practice for life, isn't it? Every person has a place in the world, only a question of understanding what that place is. Lots of school principals in the city wanted to confine autistic kids (not just my sister) to the trash heap like lots of people when they pull bad IVs. Characters aren't real people so fodder value can be considered, but autistic kids are people and have soul and spirit as much as any one of us. Learning to work with difficult IVs is like practicing for working with children (or even adults) who need more help than most to realize their potential. It's for people who want more than a few easy tasks after which they can pat themselves on the back and congratulate themselves on a good job, people who have a heart to invest in what is entrusted to their care, to be part of the making of something beautiful with cosmic implications, even if it taxes their time, energy, and patience. And it can make us realize, even if we feel like we are in control of a lot, that we also need and needed the investment and sacrifices of others to become what we have become, and grow in humility, gratitude, joy, and reverence.

For me, it's a lot to reflect on. (Pardon if my logic is disintegrating; I'm getting tired)
