Hooray Maji's back. I'm hoping this will be finished soon! :D

It's nice to see that Maji is really getting into this game, Monshou. My 2nd favorite game of the series. I'm so happy someone loves it as much as I do. <3

[Maji]

Eh, I promised I would update on my work break, and I didn't (expected/10), so here's an update now.

Book 2- Chapter 20: 20's! 20's Everywhere!

Spoiler ()

In fact, several hours cannot discribe how fast this place was taken.



Unfortunately, did not supply Energy Rings and shit, like the Aritean populace did, so no one really gives a shit about them.



Good to see that the creativity is consistent in the whole of the continent.



Everything else after this is sort of "You're on your own, tits-on-a-dragon; I'll be with you to take the gate shortly."



Yay, I guess?



The way the architecture just sort of disappears when the door is opened sort of reminds me of those Polly Pocket things in the 90s.



I smell a Light Orb trade chain battle a mile away.



There's three people on my team who aren't even promoted yet, lol.



Oh hey, that's fine, let the enemy just sort of slip through the ranks why don't you? Is that unit even an enemy? Like he's red, but he's also opening the door, which I'd imagine Hardin would want it to be shut at this particular moment in time.



I love awkward SNES transitions.



For SNES plot sake, we'll say it is, and Midia is an oblivious wench who enjoys stating the obvious to drag conversations out.



Like honestly, Midia, who doesn't want to destroy that place? It's a bitch to fight there, so better off dead than fighting there again.



That's why.. she's here and well, and telling you to journey to Niflheim.



Oh god, the best line ever is coming up.



"Because I am beautiful in every single way, words won't bring me down, no-oh, so don't you bring me down, ooooh, today."



Weren't you going to kill her like just two seconds ago though?



Anyway, that's that, you're stupid, Akaneia.



One mounted chapter left, really, FE3, really? I suppose everyone would bitch and moan if she died in the coup, so for fanboy sake, I guess they decided to keep her alive?



I'm tired of this shit, let's FE3B2!



Bodyguards are 150% better if they actually GUARD you instead of just sort of stand in the same room, unaware of things.



And you Paola! Assassins only work if they kill their target!



The big baddie of FE3 is Lv. 1, well, that's.. underwhelming.



Next phase, Paola completes the assassination with the help of Life Orb.



She will have fun with this next chapter, then it will sort of go to Doga, who will sort of not be as awesome with it in endgame.



He puts his turban on, takes some Visine, and loses the fur trim to confirm this.



And lost spectacularly from the looks of it.



Umm.. it's a bit too late for that.



And she was just using you to rebuild Akaneia! Isn't it cute how all these things turn out?!



We are also treated to breath taking SNES CG of the orbs flying onto the Fire Emblem.



That's exciting, I guess. No more Life Orb. :(



And, if you didn't know, because I didn't point this out until now, the final boss of Book 1 is just sort of casually lounging around where the Fire Dragon was in this map in Book 1, why not?



Thanks to the power of the S.o.S, it doesn't stick around for long. If it wasn't for Paola's assassination, we would have to fight it without a Falchion to OHKO it.



There's also these things, right? And they cast spells that reduce a unit's HP to one, and there's like a billion 3~10 RG units around to pick the Doulam'd units off, isn't this fun?



Again, Hardin, bodyguards only work if they're NOT locked in jail!



Anyway, this chapter has dragged on for too long, let's end it.



Women, women everywhere!



Everyone just sort of forgets about Garnef and lives hapily every after.



"Oh Auntie Em, there's no place like home!"



Welp!



It may look like an amazing plot twist, but..



It's really just four creeps who wanted to be pretty, and managed to dress up like the princesses to throw Marth off, as he never listens to what Gato has to say.



With the uncanning disguises, I'm sure they do so every other day in the privacy of their own castle.

-Rehash!-

Marth: Princesses? Kidnapped? Garnef? Saturn's rings?

Jeigan: Yes, and I am going to repeat exactly what you said. Oh hey, look! Gato!

Gato: Told you bitches! Anyway, here's some new stuff.



That basically means run around their nest with the S.o.S and send them back to the ground for a later generation to deal with.

So let's go do that!

Next Chapter- Dead things, not paying attention to detail, as we simply don't need to, last day for mounts, and convenience!

[Maji]

Book 2- Endgame Part I: Where Things Begin Getting Silly

Spoiler ()

So, basically, exactly where Book I's endgame was, because we're just too half assed to kill dragons fully, and must do so again.



If there was such thing as a weapon triangle, sword users would have a field day. Since there isn't, axes just have awful, awful hit rate, so these guys are just as silly as they were back in the desert.



Let's get just this over with, again.



This screenshot pretty much sums up late game: dark mages, trivial axe users and dragons. Really, the dark mages are the only concern for late game.



If they don't have Doulam, then they have this, and are in obscure locations, which makes the second last chapter real bitchy.



Unfortunatly, Macedonia doesn't really have one of those "Welcome to Macedonia!" signs, or a boarder guard (on the north side that is).



Sure, Marth is happy to help everyone else in Akaneia, except for clensing the scariest place on earth until it relates to him.



36% ACC, looooool



Dancers doing close to max damage with the Lady Sword, loooool



This chapter is insanely easy if you have fliers to kill everything before they get to touch Marth, who moves faster than time itself, and as a result can five turn most chapters.



Oh hey, I thought he was going to get Wolf Squad'd, and not exist anymore!



That seems to be a common theme in FE3B2, and I like how he doesn't even ask Misheil if he's okay or anything.



Should've kept it in the Aritean safe after the war instead of just leaving it in the sun for any old Maph wizard to take~



Indeed, anyone who lets themselves get hit by Maph outta be ashamed of themselves!



Unfortunately (?), Minerva can't interact with her brother in this version, magically bringing him back to life, nor is Maria around to also magically save him, so he dies.



In any case, with the last convenience out of the way, we can now proceed to ruin this game without any worry.
Why is there even a village here, if it's a land ruled by dragons and barbarians who live in caves, as the reinforcements show?



With the help of Paola, the Meteor boss, and everything around it was dead the whole turns later when Marth went to sit on the gate.



Rehash of Mediuth hating everything in the fourth last map in the game!



Oh my god, Marth, you should have chopped him to pieces, or something, rather than poke him, and leave him to go to on sick leave somewhere to come back.



Mediuth is evolving! Mediuth evolved into the same thing, only with a different name!



Oh god, here it comes, here it comes..



DUN DUEXPECTED EXPECTED.. apparently, women in Akaneia are only good for killing bandits, and sacrificing to the Dark Dragon, as Mediuth just doesn't like the taste of men.



I thought this was already established.
Next part- trying to overwhelm with numbers again, no more mounts, and a very silly building with hidden everything (and Jeigan enjoys keeping the player informed)

[Shin]

Enjoying this as always, the next chapter should be interesting, I've always found the second part pretty unfair.

[bottlegnomes]

Is it just me, or does Gato look like a constipated/angry Sean Connery?

[Maji]

I think I'll do two updates today, this one felt short.

Book 2- Endgame Part II: Where the Rest of Everything Was Hiding From Marth

Spoiler ()

Because if you recall, only Flying Dragons can fly, so sadly, the Dark Dragons have to walk up to their resting place like any other good civilized being does.



Oh god, please not that tower level in World 5 of Mario 3, please not that tower level in World 5 of Mario 3..



Purple pallets are supposed to scary.



The horned skulls sitting on the walls don't really add to the atmosphere, I guess.



Then you can just sit there then, it'll be just like old times!



Well duh, if we could deploy the whole army, then it really wouldn't be FE, now would it?



My team consists of women with swords, little boys with bows, a girl with magic, a few guys with swords, but aren't as good as the women, and other people who are just there, floating around in space.



Somehow, we're expected to know who is concerned about Nina despite the fact that this person had a whole four lines in this game.



Well aren't you the most confident person in this world!



Unfortunately, unlike everyone else, Gato doesn't have x ray vision, and can see everything, minus locked doors.



Magic truly DOES solve plot holes!



Lady Sword abuse will be a key aspect here.



First part's a joke, not even worth mentioning, there's a few dragons, and axe dudes, all can be annihilated hilariously fast, then..



Oh. My. God.

Spoiler ()

But not really, as long as you leave a few strong guys there as soon as Julian opens that door, and immediately slaughter the closest things and heal for the coming enemy phase, half the problem will be solved. All that one really has to be concerned about is the Meteors, and next phase, everything should be dead and destroyed.

Welp! That was a wrap, you can also kill things, Feena Marth and pretty much ride ahead without even having an enemy phase. But I like playing inefficient.



NOOOOOOOOOOO!



Jeigan can also see things before they happen. Cool, eh? Wouldn't it being awkward being that last living Dark Mage, just sitting there, unable to do anything, except for watch the allies advance?

Anyway, hardest chapter in the game next! Expect Barhara esque horrors, Doulam craze, late joining weaponry, and Linda!

Chapters 20-F1

Spoiler ()

Unfortunately, did not supply Energy Rings and shit, like the Aritean populace did, so no one really gives a shit about them.

In Marth's' games the stat up items are more than generous enough. Especially with it's 20 stat caps.



I smell a Light Orb trade chain battle a mile away.

Well...only light could break through the darkness entirely just to add the challenge of killing this boss.



There's three people on my team who aren't even promoted yet, lol.

The EXP formula never goes down in this game as you level up and that the stat growths are wayyyy to generous especially for it's 20 caps. =)



Oh hey, that's fine, let the enemy just sort of slip through the ranks why don't you? Is that unit even an enemy? Like he's red, but he's also opening the door, which I'd imagine Hardin would want it to be shut at this particular moment in time.

Hardin should gut him.



For SNES plot sake, we'll say it is, and Midia is an oblivious wench who enjoys stating the obvious to drag conversations out.

Always had nerves of steel is why Astram took an interest in her.



Next phase, Paola completes the assassination with the help of Life Orb.


Three cheers for Palla the prettiest peggie to prevail.



And she was just using you to rebuild Akaneia! Isn't it cute how all these things turn out?!

Which the reason that Nintendo of America censored this series for a long time. As it involved drama and tragedy. But that's what makes the series so great. And Poor Hardin. .____.



That's exciting, I guess. No more Life Orb. :(

No more epic growths either. Bye bye Star Orb. You will be missed.



Thanks to the power of the S.o.S, it doesn't stick around for long. If it wasn't for Paola's assassination, we would have to fight it without a Falchion to OHKO it.

Of course in the remake the sawing str in half is nulled making it alot easier.



There's also these things, right? And they cast spells that reduce a unit's HP to one, and there's like a billion 3~10 RG units around to pick the Doulam'd units off, isn't this fun?

I always found that interesting till they've robbed that in the remake.

Book 2- Endgame Part I: Where Things Begin Getting Silly

Spoiler ()

Dancers doing close to max damage with the Lady Sword, loooool


These filthy men obviously want to rape her after they gut her. x.x



Unfortunately (?), Minerva can't interact with her brother in this version, magically bringing him back to life, nor is Maria around to also magically save him, so he dies.

It was a pleasure to use him. Especially since he never was playable beforehand. It was a real tragedy that he actually was killed by Gharnef after he coveted the Starlight tome from his sinister grasp and got away with it.



With the help of Paola, the Meteor boss, and everything around it was dead the whole turns later when Marth went to sit on the gate.

It would be wrong not to use her as she is the best unit in this book.



Rehash of Mediuth hating everything in the fourth last map in the game!

Medith is like Hera in Hercules. Hera hated humanity because of Zeus' infidelity. Medith only rebelled humans as they've started it by looking down upon his race. Outcasts I tell you. Outcasts. >.<



Oh my god, Marth, you should have chopped him to pieces, or something, rather than poke him, and leave him to go to on sick leave somewhere to come back.

And losing fandom. I don't think so.



DUN DUEXPECTED EXPECTED.. apparently, women in Akaneia are only good for killing bandits, and sacrificing to the Dark Dragon, as Mediuth just doesn't like the taste of men.

Well...purity is always a delicious morsel to darkhearted dragons.



I thought this was already established.
Next part- trying to overwhelm with numbers again, no more mounts, and a very silly building with hidden everything (and Jeigan enjoys keeping the player informed)

Japan has always a very polite country. Refering to using Arigato Gozimaus, san and chan alot out of respect.

The horned skulls sitting on the walls don't really add to the atmosphere, I guess.

Great environment for evildoers. =)



My team consists of women with swords, little boys with bows, a girl with magic, a few guys with swords, but aren't as good as the women, and other people who are just there, floating around in space.

Having a harem is always a good thing.



Lady Sword abuse will be a key aspect here.

Oh Great.
More rapists has arrived. =D



Oh. My. God.

All that one really has to be concerned about is the Meteors, and next phase, everything should be dead and destroyed.

This map can be easily broken. Silence Staff does break this and the next chapter.

and Linda!

Going with her vengence? Ookay. =)
