The ones on the southern staircase did indeed appear when he died, though since I eliminated Hans before opening the room, they had just been sitting there until now.

I tried to go for a redhead, but red hair always seems to be limited for some reason, and you can't pick bright red like Hinoka's for some reason.

Don't tell Xander, but Garon's favorite is actually Camilla's mom. 4 minutes ago, Rezzy said: I tried to go for a redhead, but red hair always seems to be limited for some reason, and you can't pick bright red like Hinoka's for some reason.

Julius Nepos Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 Woohoo, Rezzy is back! Good to see no one's died here yet. Looking forward to seeing how the room of death is going to go.

I think it would be more prudent for Iago to wait five minutes and consult with the king, rather than attack the entire remainder of the royal family, even if he feels justified in his actions. At least it gives us an excuse to finally kill Iago. Even is Garon wasn't a slime monster and it was a moot point, I don't think Garon would have minded if we had killed Iago earlier, since he likes his daily dose of vitamin murder. 3 hours ago, Dayni said: Is there something lost in translation that's more than just changing the name from Macbeth (a change I was okay with)? His original name was Macbeth? Irrational hatred for the protagonist does fit Iago a bit more then Macbeth, if we're going for Shakespearean comparisons.

Rezzy Posted March 24, 2019 Author Share Posted March 24, 2019 Back to the Room of Death, here is our positioning. We'll try to pick off some units with ranged attacks behind our wall. Thanks to Azura, we can get an extra attack in. A lucky crit eliminates that general for us. Also, I realize I left a finger in the shot, if anyone wondered what that looked like. We'll equip the Hand Axe, since there are several ranged enemies here, plus also not doubling can be a blessing in disguise, since killing an enemy on Enemy Phase means taking a hit from another enemy that round. Just barely not enough damage to kill. This may look like a bad level up, but here it's actually acceptable, since every point of damage mitigation helps here. Mommy gets a nice level up from being a stat backpack and blocking an attack on her son. Oh goodie, reinforcements right behind us, this will be fun. But that's not all. Not one, but two groups of reinforcements, and these guys aren't pushovers that we can just plant a couple units at the door with and expect to survive.

Jotari Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 RE: The name change, Iago is overall more fitting, but I'm still against it on principle as it was wholly unnecessary and will just leads to completely needless confusion if the Japanese creators ever do decide to use Iago in the future (see the whole Alondite Ettard situation). Name changes should only be applied when they convey a different cultural meaning to what was originally intended (like Tina -> Terra), one Shakespearean name to another Shakespearean name doesn't achieve that, even if the latter is ultimately more suitable.

Rezzy Posted March 24, 2019 Author Share Posted March 24, 2019 One area Nina has actually not been RNG screwed is Resistance, so we can use her to try to eliminate the sorcerers. I have to be careful to keep her alive though, since she's the only lock picker I brought. Maybe I should have brought Niles too, come to think of it, but too late to change that now. Rezzi of course, is just good at killing everything. Not good enough to get a satisfactory level-up though. Down in the southern end of the hallway, Kana is earning his allowance. We've got a couple nice charged shield gauges for the bottom entrance on the hallway. Our top half is rather less assured, but we'll just have to pick a god and pray.

Generally I'd like the names to be consistent, but also think they should still take localized names into account when making new names. Okay, lets see how this enemy phase goes. Rather unfavorable matchup, but we survive. Gosh, leveling weapons sure takes forever in Fates. Also, not featured, but the maids keep physicing the Generals health back up every turn, which makes this chokepoint feel like the Western Front from World War One. To be honest, I'm quite fine with taking low damage hits and not counter attacking until the northern menace is dealt with. We'll jut keep poking at each other. Another glorious level up for Prince Percy. Yay? Too bad I don't think there are even any sword wielder enemies left. Back to the top, we still have lots of enemies to deal with. I often forget Bows are weak to magic, because the doubled up weapon triangle was unnecessary and most less sense than the original one. Stop hurting Leo! He's good for now, but he can't take many more hits like that. So we survived another enemy phase. It looks like everyone in the southern room is lining up at the DMV. Behold our strategic placement of Azura, Rallyman, and Dwyer. Gazak doesn't really need to be paired up with Dwyer at this point, but I don't have a spare move to unpair him right now. Every last heal is needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least in BB the prepromotes have multiple good weapon ranks and only the low Str units really have trouble when picking up a new weapon, while it is tedious getting from D to C to B looking at you Zeiss and Tate you mostly use iron, steel and the 1-2 range weapons in BB anyway so you only really get killer utility as the jump to silver is only really needed if you have poor Str. In the case of tomes it's just Aircalibur all the way baby for me at least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jotari Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 Game I really felt weapon levelling up was a chore was Path of Radiance. It seems like you have to specialize in a single type, which is pretty annoying since only half the S ranked weapons are available to the player for no good reason.

I never noticed it being too bad for physical weapons, maybe due to most already mostly specializing in one weapon anyway, but I definitely noticed it for mages.
