BrightBow Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 Honestly, making collecting loot a mission objective is quite convenient. That way you don't have to worry about the map ending before you can get to all the chests. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aside from stealing his name from Man You Should Not Be Choosing Because Arran Is The Better Alternative And It's Canon That He Was Not Picked By Marth And Went To Gra And Hooked Up With Sheena (MYSNBCBAITBAAICTHPBMAWTGAHUWS for short), Samson is without a doubt the best dedicated axe user in the game. Aside from amazing bases, he's got great growths for this game, Frontiersman, which is probably the best of the terrain skills, learns Vantage, which is handy... his supports are bad, as he only has a "support" with a NPC (according to FEWOD), and he doesn't learn Flurry or anything like that, but he's still godly because of his raw stats. Great unit, best axeman, definitely won't be using because I have Juliattisnacordst and Garo. I like that Kaga kept the trend from Thracia of having fighters actually being good going in this game. I could use this as an opportunity to rant about the GBA games' treatment of them, but I won't. At least they gave us Lot. 16 hours ago, Saint Rubenio said: This is why I love movement growths. You never expect them to happen, so it's always a wonderful time when they do. Still would have been cool to see an Est-esque who specializes in movement growth in a mainline FE, but maybe there will be someone like that in this game? 15 hours ago, Dayni said: Wait, there's no chance Olwen migrated and Alicia's her descendant? Alicia's tome being called Dire Thunder is a connection the translation made, in Japanese it's called ブレンサンダ as opposed to Dire Thunder's ダイムサンダー I get why Aethin did that since it makes the weapon immediately recognizable as a Brave Thunder tome to anyone who's played Heroes but there's no link to Olwen here, no.

The Roger The Paladin Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 23 hours ago, Saint Rubenio said: The trick here is simple. Subtlety. You do an edit of a store with a shelf full of the Tellius games, and a shelf labelled "rule 34 fanart of Pretzel and (Binding Blade) Morgan" with a "sold out" sign on it. That way, you show it and don't show it at the same time. Bonus points if the Tellius games are on clearance Eeehhh too hard; didn't draw. Here you go. A very lazy (I mean the writing isn't even lined up correctly) job of what this may look like. Might do one with actual production values if I ever have photo editting software more powerful than preview again. 23 hours ago, Saint Rubenio said: Huh... curious theory you've got going on there. I'm just picturing old headless rider and his carriage made of bones being forced to stop his little journey around the countryside every time the sword's wielder gets it, and having to make the call of who dies instead, then shouting it through the no-longer grinning mouth of the yellowed head he carries under his arm. He merely wants to resume his sightseeing and this is all just a waste of time to him. 23 hours ago, Saint Rubenio said: Samson's hilarious.

I was sure it was cape myself. On 1/20/2019 at 10:12 PM, Saint Rubenio said: Why don't you wait until you see his face to come up with a name? Kinda hard to think up a name for a bunch of brown robes. Also, hey, that comparison isn't really all that fair. Humphrey was a joke, physically. Fun fact: he was supposed to be my sprite when I first conceived him, but he ended up looking like a serial killer, so I instead made the other version. Then I decided to use him as the villain because he looked like a serial killer. And then I came full circle and came up with the brilliant idea for his true identity. Ironic given reading the LP initially to catch up, my first guess was that it was you badly disguised to get back into the army after being chased. Hence the similar cloak. It was pretty quickly debunked. But it was a thought. 16 hours ago, Hawkwing said: They are good, but what's with Holmes having the cloth in front of his pants? Used to be, once, that pants were two separate legs (hence the name sounding like it's a plural) and not joined at the crotch. Usually something, like in the case of Holmes, or Native Americans, a kind of loincloth was worn in that region for obvious reasons. Mind, that's the explanation I'm going with here on the grounds it bears some historical merit. Mind you, the innovation of joining pants at the crotch changed everything and now pants have a name that makes distinguishing between single pairs and multiple pairs a little more tedious than it had to be. 16 hours ago, Hawkwing said: There's a Witch Dragon? Magic using dragons exit in this game? Well, Mage Dragons were a thing in FE1, 3, 11 and 12. They dealt magic damage instead of physical but were basically just a dragon/manakete for intents and purposes otherwise. Though I have read that in the original FE1, they went so far as to give them complete immunity to magic. Not sure how true it is, because I tend to stick to the remake there. I assume the Witch Dragon works along similar lines. Either that or IS cloned the concept for Idounn off the Witch Dragon. I don't know. Guess we'll find out.

Hawkwing Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 After seeing the plethora of Lee puns that have been made on this playthrough, I am now convinced that by the end of it, we need to create at least one song rivaling "the Lees of Virginia". On 1/21/2019 at 7:59 AM, Mad-manakete said: I was sure it was cape myself. Maybe. As I said, I don't want to look. I'm reminded of Links pants in Skyward Sword, for some reason, where they seemed to be the same color as his skin, and I occasionally forgot he was wearing them. Thankfully, skydiving is a thing in the game, so the player is constantly reminded that yes, those are pants.

And all three Manaketes in Awakening can reclass into mages, and Duma also had some magic attacks. Seems that there is some gameplay and story integration with Manaketes having magical power after all, even if it's really only present in Archanea.

Saint Rubenio Posted January 22, 2019 Author Share Posted January 22, 2019 Part 23 - In which Maruj is miserable. Since every single person in the thread seemed to disagree with me that Alicia has a boob window, I will refer to her artworks (yes, she has two official artworks), because I fail to see why you guys are having such difficulties to see it. Look at that! If that's not obvious, then I don't know what is! Almost as obvious as the fact that she's wearing no pants, yet another thing Kaga ripped off of his earlier works. With that out of the way, let's move on before I come off as an obsessive fuck. Ah, what am I saying, I already came off as an obsessive fuck when I made the 32586942367th reference to Horsemen raiding my villages. Still not over it. Maybe in four or five LPs. Replies: Spoiler On 20/1/2019 at 2:58 PM, Dayni said: He doesn't seem like a Henry imo. You don't even know what he looks like. Heck, "he" could be a she for all you know! I'm not going to argue, I've been making progress with PoR again. Good luck with those levels. Although, you should be the one wishing me luck. It's me who's publicly playing! What's there to apologise for? The interviews have happened. Good luck with that, then. Until he can't climb over the hills. Or walk twice as slow as Roy in the desert. Yes, I know those aren't the most relevant, but still. Roy can't do any of those, either! Hah! Outclassed! Dougy's the choice of the pros! I don't know, maybe I was just assuming something. Do not assume things baselessly! But I said Claude because he has bows. Frankly, all I want is for it not to be three games. Give me the whole thing in one package, and provided it is good, you can be sure I'll replay it with all three of 'em. They all look cool enough. Edelgard has the same nonsensical boob window as Alicia (except without the golden thingy to make it less obvious), Dimitri looks like he just stepped out of the shower and I don't know why, but I don't feel like Claude belongs in the Middle Ages of Anime (and no, it's not the skin color, don't be silly now), but complaints aside, they look interesting enough. I mean, I could use an edgy codename. But you're not wrong in failing to get a grasp on an identity based on robes and silence. Just be patient, damnit. Patience is a virtue. A virtue, I tell you! That Maerchen didn't know Yazam died and that Yazam had an Azoth without us knowing. But... but Dagon's Azoth was in his inventory! Why show it there but not with Yazam? Did the artist who drew Azoth's icon demand payment for every time the item appeared in the game, so they just cut some corners? Progress? Ergh, more or less... But for resurrecting Kreiss? Really? :P Or maybe I'll just do it and let the events unfold as normal. Really, between Lee, Mel and Miss Warp we'll get in a while, I have more than enough healers to go around. I can afford to lose one. I mean, he's not wrong. Cleaning blood from a stone is difficult. Why would he want to clean up the cave? I'd thought he was more worried about the bath he'd have to take after the brawl. I see they're not bringing their insult A-game to the skippable map. Or maybe I'm too bad to write proper sassy banter. Samson's all kinds of good, so of course he's out. Of course he's out. Alicia is also good, so why's she in? Because she isn't "all kinds of out" and I really like her and she wears green. Green always makes things better. Wait, there's no chance Olwen migrated and Alicia's her descendant? I didn't get this at first, but then...

Guess that's the explanation! Don't look at me, though, I had no idea Olwen had that in Heroes. I can tell you than in earlier versions of the translation, it was called Bren Thunder, though. I like Dire Thunder better, to be frank, even if it's not a TRS original. Yeah, Shigen's supposed to be solid. Dullahan's done with this: 1 I really need to implement this counter into the official updates. How does a tank dodge a hand axe? By reaching out and waving at it, causing a slight air current that deviates it from its flight path. It appears I chose wisely. That you did. I thank you for it, too. They don't refer to Thomas as a tank engine for nothing. Taking crits to the face and surviving, dodging things while inside a tank... Thomas has seen everything. But it isn't time for him to leave yet! I see Lionel's learned his criticals from someone in particular. Please, he doesn't scream like a dumbass. How can he? He's got a double axe. Yeah, I didn't say anything about it, but... what was up with that frame? That or he's got the Sacred Heart. Either way it's probably a lie. What even is that? I see Juliattisnacordst is bulking up a bit. That he is, but he's no Lot still. Well that's kind of terrifying. A little bit, yes, but we've got Tom. Yazam meanwhile looks like he's about to give a soliloquy before slicing up somebody. He's had like 4 lines, so I can't imagine him being that good of a speaker. Well, that's pretty good in fairness. Eeeyup. Well, I guess this doesn't apply. All I can say is, it's more understandable than this. Not as impressive, but hey he got a move level, so this doesn't seem so bad. And strength! Defense would've been nice, but I'll live. Really? I mean, that would be like Holmes to raid the dead but still. Very much like him, indeed. On 20/1/2019 at 3:03 PM, Dayni said: I appear to have used the wrong video and now I can't edit the comment. Here's more appropriate. I prefered the old one, to be honest. It allowed me to reference my new favourite video ever. Yes, I only just found out about a video that's over 10 years old. Youtube recommendations did their job, for once. On 20/1/2019 at 3:25 PM, BrightBow said: Screw that corridor. I usually just have Katri clear it out. May be cheap, but that's a price I'm willing to pay to preserve my sanity. Besides, she is still an adolescent, so she needs to eat well to become big and strong. To be fair, I completely forgot about Katri in this chapter. I wonder if anyone noticed that this Albert fellow has already appeared. Makes me wonder why people think he's dead, considering he didn't even feel the need to keep his name a secret. Yes, nobody doubts that Albert has already been introduced, especially because the one Alicia and Samson were talking about was one Alfred. There's a bit of a difference. Death Count: (Shigen: 1) I must say, I like Dayni's version better. On 20/1/2019 at 9:08 PM, Hawkwing said: You missed a whole lot of other things, too. Although being fair, that video can be confusing without watching the previous ones. I... no, I don't see, sorry. Serenes Forest believes that "anachronic" is spelled incorrectly, for some reason. Really? Serenes never tells me anything about spelling. It means that the boring part of the job can be completed quickly, efficiently, and with less complaining. That's good. Or to show that they're savvy and know how to create makeshift grenades. Or that they're wise enough not to drink when zombies exist. I stand by my point. You'd make a fine villain with your shenanigans. Me... I'd probably be something like Ben in Telltale's game, except I probably would tell everyone "hey, these bandits forced me to give them some of our stuff, we should probably do something about it" instead of doing the absolutely worst thing I could. And I would probably have enough brains to realize that standing on a rickety-old railing isn't going to do me much good. And that I could just run past slow-ass zombies. Come to think about it, I wouldn't be that much like Ben at all. It falls into the "not common, but still happens more than a handful of times" category. It's mostly due to the camera angle occasionally being in the wrong place at the wrong time. I see... still pretty shitty. You're welcome! It's pretty good. As I said, I found it hard to tell if it was the game talking or you. Thanks for the kind words! Being skinned is another irrational fear of mine, and something I wouldn't wish upon my worse enemies. Considering, however, that this is the realm of fiction... Dang... poor fatass. But he had the insults coming to him. And so much more! Wise and alien, it makes Yoda appear. Succeed, in that area, they did. Dumb still is, this way to talk. Pretentious and without substance, it is. Much wiser, I appear. , me! Barnacles, blistering! Apology accepted. Phew... Now it sounds even more broken. Lee is going to have a field day when he gets his hands on it. Ohohohohohoh... and keep in mind we'll have two of them if everything goes well! The joke becomes even better if you know about the character in question. I would imagine. Lose it in the "I laughed a lot" or the "I screamed my head off" way? A bit of both. Mostly the former, though. I blame that on Katri's stupidity and being sleepy when I wrote that. I admittedly should have reread what you said. Ah, don't worry. I would have fixed the spelling and punctuation errors in the post, if SF actually allowed me to edit posts where I quote you. Hey, The Roget The Paladin sounds rad. If we continue adding errors to his name, by the end of this, he might just have as much of a dumb name as Juliattisnacordst. Seriously, why is that the only thing the website is consistent in preventing? I wish I knew, myself. You asked for it. I didn't ask for this! Actually... Reveal hidden contents And yes, that is her butt and natural fur. I've made the joke about her being buck-naked before, and I don't feel like repeating it. ...I'm still taking a walk after posting this. Despite the snow outside. I'm still annoyed that my favorite female character in that game is also one of the less modest ones. The only reason It's doesn't bother me more is because she's transformed into a giant killer rabbit most of the time (yes, they have shapeshifting bunnies in Awakening. It is as ridiculous and as awesome as it sounds), not understanding some human conventions is a small running gag with her, reclassing gives her proper clothes, and she's an actual adult without the "actually 1000 years old" bullcrap. That's from Awakening? And... shape-shifting bunnies?! What? I didn't know that, but I wish I had never found out! Raffin looks like he's nervously holding onto the sword and is hoping it doesn't fall into his face. Hahahahah, you're right, actually! A person in the same room commented that these pictures looked like cookies from a distance. Mmmhh... tasty, tasty Lieberia. I just thought I'd bring that up. Except for the thieves guild, which hasn't entered the story yet. And maybe never will, considering they'd probably high tail it out of the the moment a battle occurs. Maybe they'll be introduced alongside General Lawrence. Strong men rise up to combat weak times. Ah, right. For once, Ruben sounds competent. I'm proud of him... me...? "Kaga also stole the name of a man named Samson, and the only change was he weilds axes instead of swords!" "Yeah, when Samson wasn't the canon choice in Myestery of the Emblem!" "...You two do realism that the name 'Samson' is Biblical and thus free domain, right? I don't do realism. More of a postmodernism guy, myself. ...Did this game have any weapon balancing? Noooope is the answer. Also, Flurry with this tome just sounds like a real-life bullet hell game for the enemies. I can't wait to see it. Don't die, Alicia, I'm begging you. I'm already betting my money that she'll be the first casualty of the run, and now you're just trying to push the odds in my favor. Why, you...! Stop it! Why can't you guys ever bet money on who lives? They are good, but what's with Holmes having the cloth in front of his pants? I can see why cave levels are so rare in Fire Emblem even if I did want one in Awakening, but that's for lore reasons and the potential for a unique spin on them. Do elaborate. The effect looks like an atom. Anyone else think that? Eh... sort of. Doesn't look like it when it's moving, though. So the enemy Myrmidons finally hold Katanas properly... and ours use the plausible, if impractical, reverse grip. Interesting. A tank... dodged... Dodge... tank... ...Barring examples in real life, did Kaga just make a literal dodgetank before the term was coined? KDIF! So it's true! The movement growth actually exists, and it is possible to obtain it! Lionel is off to an excellent start! You can say that again! Did he just twirl a crossbow? Because gun twirling breaks every single gun safety rule in the book. Raquel does it too, actually. They just don't care, they know what they're doing. Why is Lionel holding the pointy part of the spear backwards when dashing towards the enemy?! Granted, you can pierce through someone with the blunt end of a spear, but still. He's just running, not charging, that's why. He stabs them so fast, the spear disappears from his hands. On a serious note, that's a pretty awesome critical animation for a lance. It is, and it's all the better when it's moving. Looks a little confusing, but this is probably one of those "looks better in motion" kind of things. Without a doubt. That's one way to rub salt into a wound. I wholeheartedly approve. Heheheheh... I'm glad we have reached an agreement. There's a window there? ...I can't tell if that's the same color of her cape or if that's her skin color, and I won't zoom in to check. See above. Entertaining an audience by playing a videogame badly. Hey, I'm not doing so badly this time around! Guess she didn't want to waste any of those 62 uses on cannon fodder. Guess she also didn't realize she needed the experience. With the Dire Thunder, she'd barely get any. Besides, like I said, today we'll get a pair of scenes that perfectly encapsulate the sort of woman she is. There's a Witch Dragon? Magic using dragons exit in this game? ...I can't tell if that is awesome or terrifying. Although then again, a few of Duma's attacks in gaiden/echoes are magical, so...Kaga did it again? Both times, KDIF, yeah! He'll be the true Gotoh of the game, won't he? Ah, perhaps... I would say to just go for it and kill the dastard, but I tend to ignore crit in Fire Emblem, so... You foolish person. Did you learn nothing from watching me struggle through FE6? Although I can see where you're coming from. Libra died to a 50% hit and low crit percentage in my first ironman. And I was numb the rest of the game when that happened. Who cares about Libra!? I lost over 30 people! OVER-30-PEOPLE!! Ya got that right! Indeed! That's... one way of adding objective to the game. A good one, I'd say. On 20/1/2019 at 10:09 PM, BrightBow said: Honestly, making collecting loot a mission objective is quite convenient. That way you don't have to worry about the map ending before you can get to all the chests. I like it also, for this very reason.

I like that Kaga kept the trend from Thracia of having fighters actually being good going in this game. I could use this as an opportunity to rant about the GBA games' treatment of them, but I won't. At least they gave us Lot. Hey, I've no complaints. Garcia had solid bases, Lot is a great character and saved my LP and Wade's also a cool character even if he's lacking when it comes to stats, Bartre and Geitz are good prepromotes... Really, FE7's the one that completely screwed over Fighters (other than Geitz, and you could argue him being easy to miss is also a dickmove against Fighters), and since everyone knows FE7 is the only good GBA game, it's the only one that matters. This is why I love movement growths. You never expect them to happen, so it's always a wonderful time when they do. No shit, that was absolutely amazing. I even made a save state right after the level. Not that I wanted to cheat if anything went wrong, I really didn't, but I suddenly grew highly paranoid of power outages. Imagine losing that to a blackout. I would've died. Still would have been cool to see an Est-esque who specializes in movement growth in a mainline FE, but maybe there will be someone like that in this game? Mayhap your wish will be granted, and sooner than you think, too... On 21/1/2019 at 1:59 PM, Mad-manakete said: Here you go. A very lazy (I mean the writing isn't even lined up correctly) job of what this may look like. Might do one with actual production values if I ever have photo editting software more powerful than preview again. Sure. I'm just picturing old headless rider and his carriage made of bones being forced to stop his little journey around the countryside every time the sword's wielder gets it, and having to make the call of who dies instead, then shouting it through the no-longer grinning mouth of the yellowed head he carries under his arm. He merely wants to resume his sightseeing and this is all just a waste of time to him. Shigen's a dick, is what you're telling me? Good to see a Samson who lives up to his name. The other guy was a bit of a disappointment. Hey, he was a cool character, even if he was lacking as a unit and wasn't nearly as good in any way as Arran. Meanwhile in Ireland someone is condemned to death Why Ireland, though? Now that's what I call a dodgetank. I like how, of all screencaps, everybody found this particular one amazingly amusing. I didn't, but oh well. I was sure it was cape myself. See above. Ironic given reading the LP initially to catch up, my first guess was that it was you badly disguised to get back into the army after being chased. Hence the similar cloak. It was pretty quickly debunked. But it was a thought. Then that thought was de-debunked! Sort of! Used to be, once, that pants were two separate legs (hence the name sounding like it's a plural) and not joined at the crotch. Usually something, like in the case of Holmes, or Native Americans, a kind of loincloth was worn in that region for obvious reasons. Mind, that's the explanation I'm going with here on the grounds it bears some historical merit. Mind you, the innovation of joining pants at the crotch changed everything and now pants have a name that makes distinguishing between single pairs and multiple pairs a little more tedious than it had to be. You never go to bed without learning something new. Well, Mage Dragons were a thing in FE1, 3, 11 and 12. They dealt magic damage instead of physical but were basically just a dragon/manakete for intents and purposes otherwise. Though I have read that in the original FE1, they went so far as to give them complete immunity to magic. Not sure how true it is, because I tend to stick to the remake there. I assume the Witch Dragon works along similar lines. Either that or IS cloned the concept for Idounn off the Witch Dragon. I don't know. Guess we'll find out. Patience, everybody. Everything in its due time. 1 hour ago, Hawkwing said: After seeing the plethora of Lee puns that have been made on this playthrough, I am now convinced that by the end of it, we need to create at least one song rivaling "the Lees of Virginia". Or a full album. Maybe. As I said, I don't want to look. I'm reminded of Links pants in Skyward Sword, for some reason, where they seemed to be the same color as his skin, and I occasionally forgot he was wearing them. Thankfully, skydiving is a thing in the game, so the player is constantly reminded that yes, those are pants. Sounds rather awkward. Interesting. I didn't know that. Thanks for sharing. Although now it raises the unfortunate questions of if pants exist in this universe yet and if most of the cast are.. er... um... Reveal hidden contents Pretty sure Runan wears pants. Fun fact: in the old translation, Bronze Paladins were called Commando Knights. So, does that mean Arkis can promote to having no pants? Huh, I see. And all three Manaketes in Awakening can reclass into mages, and Duma also had some magic attacks. Seems that there is some gameplay and story integration with Manaketes having magical power after all, even if it's really only present in Archanea. Nice bit of lore going on here. Updates: Spoiler It took us a thousand turns to beat Yazam, you nitwitted ninepin. Are you all right, Holmes? You're not hurt, are you? ...You're serious, aren't you? Yes, Katri, I'm fine. Good. Don't push yourself too hard, okay? Geez, quit your worrying, will you? Nothing's gonna happen to me. Don't be so smug, I'm the one controlling you. The sky's the limit, knowing me. If you say so... Er, who the hell are you? I'm Samson, a mercenary. You might not have heard of me, but I'm a pretty well-known guy in Erial. Whatever you say. Just stay out of the way, and don't come crying to me if one of these idiot pirates chops your arm off or something. Still a bottomless pit of kindness, I see. ...What do you want? Well, a "thanks" would be nice. We did come rescue you (sic). No, you were attacking my captors, who just happened to have a prisoner. I wouldn't call that a "rescue". But as much as it pains me to be indebted to pirates, I thank you. Don't lump us together with scum like those other guys! Maybe if you tried being less of an asshole for once, people wouldn't lump you together with them. Have you thought of that? We are privateers and treasure hunters traveling the world in search of history! C'mon, name any Lieberian myth you want, and I guarantee I've at least heard of it. I'll pass, thanks. But since you're so itinerant, would you mind taking me to Salia? I've got business at the Salian cathedral, but as far as Fort Ligria should be fine. What do I look like, a charter ship captain?! Is that a no...? I can just imagine her making a pout and a helpless face. Manipulative little... reminds me of Shiida. Ugh... No, it's fine. We're actually headed to Salia, too, and I can't just abandon you here... And just like Shiida's own evil schemes, her persuasion worked! I'm Holmes. Oh, and the annoying one here is Katri. D-Do you really think I'm annoying? No, you silly goose, of cooooourse he doesn't. Geez... Hey, Maruj. It's been a while since I saw you interact with people without jumping at someone's throat. Let's hope things go smoothly in this instance. And you are? I'm Maruj, Sage Eisenbach's grandson. Ah, so you're Lord Alfred's son... What...? How do you know who my father is? Just who are you? Oh, Lady Sylphis told me that. Suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuureeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee... I'm just a priestess of a temple in Trente. I was only headed to the Temple of Mars because my minister asked me to. Nothing special, really. Suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuureeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee... Su--WHAT?! What the fuckin' blistering barnacles, why in the world would you tell him that?! He's the man's grandson, you humongous bitch! You... How dare you talk about my grandfather's death like it was nothing! If he's dead, he's dead. No sense sugarcoating it. I might only be a few years older than you, little Maruj, but you should still respect me as your senior. If this was anybody else, I'd be amazed at how much of a sassy badass this woman is, but the fact that Maruj's her victim concerns me. The kid's lost virtually everything like a couple days ago, and that makes this scene more disturbing than funny. Not to mention, she's being way more forward than she has any need to be. What, you want to drive him to suicide? You don't even know him, what's your problem!? Just shut up! What a rude little boy! If your father had raised you, I know he would have beaten some manners into you. You know, this scene is way more brutal than how I remembered it. I knew she made fun of Maruj for not being such a great mage and he got mad as a result, which is why I said I was "looking forward" to this scene... but the whole "let's make fun of a kid who's lost every single father figure he ever had!" part did not remain in my memory! What's he got to do with any of this?! Oh, did I strike a nerve? Why don't you just run along for now so you can cool your head, little boy. Aughh! What the hell is wrong with you?! Hee hee... Look at him, all huffy and upset! You made fun of his grandfather's death the other day and his father's absence his entire life! Bitch, you don't get to "hee hee" me after something like that! That being said, Maruj, please give her your thunder tome. ... C'mon, little Maruj. You know I'll use it better than you ever would. Be a good boy and hand the tome over. ...don't... blast her with the Sylphid... Mother would never approve... What's that, little boy? Are you mad? Aww, I feel so sorry for you. Why don't you run to your mommy, then? The Temple of Mars isn't that far away from here! ...resist... resist...! And with that, we begin to move towards the pirate guy's hideout! We've got a skirmish to get through before we can get to the bad guys. It's lame and a no-brainer with no rewards beyond the experience, except for this fucker who scares me. This is the team. Like last time, I'll just skip right past the boring stuff. So we got a steel axe. Not sure if it's from that enemy, I'm pretty sure I only took that screenshot to show that Alicia's sprite is the same as Meriel's, but green. I had Lionel defeat the killer fucker (from far away, of course) and the blonde (who had a shamshir, something like a better steel sword with a crit chance), so he got a level. Not his best, but eh, I can live with it. Oh, we got the shamshir, too! It's a very solid sword, so I approve. Then Alicia's training begun and it was horrible. Sigh... you've really set out to make me hate you today, haven't you? In any case, the enemy's spawned another wave of bland pirates, and I'd rather not have to fight them, so let's hurry. Oh look, this is the famous Lot the tank comes from. Maybe they mass-produce tanks here, to live up to the place's namesake. Who didn't need a tank to tank, I might add. Anyway, this person's place. Youth? I'm pretty sure the pirate bossman isn't that young... also, Blaad? We arrive, and... Okay, just by looking at the map sprites, I'm pretty sure you can already tell who this "youth of Blaad" is. You get one guess. If you guessed the green-haired Mercenary in the middle of all the generic assholes, you were quite correct. Congratulate yourself. Your sister? Oh, you must mean that girl. Hey, Renee! Is this guy your brother? I've been searching all over for you ever since you disappeared... Thank the Goddess that I found you! Look, kid, if you think I'm gonna just let you take her, then you've got another thing coming. Now beat it. I'm not leaving without her! To be fair, you do look like you've got a lot more muscle than him. But all brawn and no brains does not work so well. Attrom, stop! They'll kill you! I won't abandon you, Renee! Even if it costs me my life! What a loyal little brother. Men, get rid of this brat! I'll be inside if you need me. Aye aye, sir! Oh, so he runs? What a cowardly piece of garbage. Stop, Maerchen! Let her go! No... Attrom...! And so he disappears from the map, presumably taking Renee with him. There's a boy up there surrounded by pirates! Holmes, you have to save him! Let's get one thing straight here, Katri: I don't HAVE to do anything. You know, I liked it better in Runan's route, where the psychopathic assholes were no more than a vocal minority. Holmes! Yeah, yeah. We'll help him out. 'Sides, I've got a score to settle with... Um... that pirate leader guy. I think Shigen said his name was Maerchen. Ah, so he sees reason. So he was just messing with Katri? "Hue hue hue huehuehehehehaehehuehueaahahhahehuehue, I'll tell Katri I'm gonna leave that guy to get chopped to pieces by the pirates, heheuahahahuehehuahauhe I so funny", was that it? God... Sigh... next time, we take Maerchen's hideout by storm and, with any luck, people will stop being pricks to those who are supposed to be their allies. Farewell.

BrightBow Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 (edited) Well, in the old translation Maruj came across as aggressive and suspicious right out of the gate. At least from how I remember it. Of course the text was also really hard to decipher at times, so that didn't exactly help to keep track of things. Like, there must have been a dozen different spellings of "Eisenbach" in that one. In any case, in this translation Maruj only comes across as mildly rude at worst. Most certainly not like he was accusing her of anything. And yeah, it's totally a boob window. I just didn't see much value in basically just posting: "Well, that's not what it looks like to me."

eclipse Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 There's only a certain amount of assholishness I'll tolerate. Esther is within that range. Alicia stepped way the hell outside of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrightBow Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 (edited) It's definitely weird when Holmes' acts all reluctant to do the good things he plans to do anyway, seeing how there is no shortage of instances where he does the good thing without having to be prodded. Maybe the idea is that he tries to compensate for people teasing him over the possibility of him having a thing for Katri or whatever? Of course since Katri is currently the only mainstay besides Holmes who has a significant amount of main story dialog (since she can't die and all), no one has really done this so far.

Alternatively: Spoiler 6 hours ago, Saint Rubenio said: That's from Awakening? And... shape-shifting bunnies?! What? I didn't know that, but I wish I had never found out! Eyup. They're called the taguel, and I have a soft spot for them because I can simultaneously take them seriously in the story while embracing how ridiculous the entire concept is. It's an okay class, all around. Six move, ignores the weapon triangle, hits hard and fast at the cost of mediocre defense, and has a useful anti-beast skill. They do have the downside of becoming less useful as the game goes on, especially since they can't promote, but fortunately they aren't as reliant on their stat bonuses as Manaketes are and thus can reclass pretty easily. 6 hours ago, Saint Rubenio said: I don't do realism. More of a postmodernism guy, myself. Spelling errors!!! Why do you haunt me so?!? You're just as bad as the ninjas I fight in Forum Games!!! 6 hours ago, Saint Rubenio said: Noooope is the answer. At least in some ways it's true to life, I suppose. Although if it where real life, halberds would dominate the game. 6 hours ago, Saint Rubenio said: Why, you...! Stop it! Why can't you guys ever bet money on who lives? Because then we'd cheat and bet on the lords. And Lee. And the units you'll never use. 6 hours ago, Saint Rubenio said: Do elaborate. Remember how I mentioned earlier that the taguel are shapeshifting bunnies? Well, it's mentioned that they live(d) in warrens. Thus, IS could have made a unique underground level based around rabbit warrens with both wide caves as well narrow and erratic pathways. It would also be a neat opportunity for worldbuilding both through background details on the map and battle screens as well as the overall design the level giving off the impression of being a lost underground animal city. I know it would be a lot of work for a single level, but they've already proven they were willing to do that in other cases. Besides, it would have been something memorable in a game with otherwise okay, if boring, maps, and would have provided more background to the taguel, who suffer from the "you have to dig into supports to find it all" problem that plagues the series. That, and it may have replaced Yarnes recruitment chapter, and I'm not fond of that one (I may have mentioned it before here, but it's where you have to choose between helping out one of two mercenary groups or fighting both at once. Neither side is a pushover, and the game is a jerk and doesn't show you the full force of either army until after you made your decision). 6 hours ago, Saint Rubenio said: KDIF! Kaga is now doing stuff first in the meta sense. 6 hours ago, Saint Rubenio said: You can say that again! So it's true! The movement growth actually exists, and it is possible to obtain it! Lionel is off to an excellent start! 6 hours ago, Saint Rubenio said: Hey, I'm not doing so badly this time around! You got that right. The only death so far is a lord death and the abuse of a special weapon. You lasted longer than anyone expected. 6 hours ago, Saint Rubenio said: With the Dire Thunder, she'd barely get any. Besides, like I said, today we'll get a pair of scenes that perfectly encapsulate the sort of woman she is. That makes more sense from both a gameplay and story perspective. 6 hours ago, Saint Rubenio said: Both times, KDIF, yeah! Would it count as KDIF if Kaga did it in the original Fire Emblem games and established it as a series tradition? 6 hours ago, Saint Rubenio said: Or a full album. Even better! 6 hours ago, Saint Rubenio said: Sounds rather awkward. It rarely happens to me, although I don't know if anyone else has made the same mistake. 6 hours ago, Saint Rubenio said: Pretty sure Runan wears pants. Which makes it all the more confusing why Holmes and a few other characters aren't. 6 hours ago, Saint Rubenio said: Fun fact: in the old translation, Bronze Paladins were called Commando Knights. So, does that mean Arkis can promote to having no pants? Well... considering his attitude towards women... 6 hours ago, Saint Rubenio said: Nice bit of lore going on here. I'm honestly surprised that they kept that consistent. 6 hours ago, Saint Rubenio said: It took us a thousand turns to beat Yazam, you nitwitted ninepin. He probably wanted you to throw caution to the wind, ignore the crit rate, and just rush the guy. 6 hours ago, Saint Rubenio said: Don't be so smug, I'm the one controlling you. The sky's the limit, knowing me. Which raises the question: What happens if Holmes dies? After all, Eugen isn't here with his reviving powers. 6 hours ago, Saint Rubenio said: No, you were attacking my captors, who just happened to have a prisoner. I wouldn't call that a "rescue". But as much as it pains me to be indebted to pirates, I thank you. Don't lump us together with scum like those other guys! Yet another person knows that privateeing is legal piracy. 6 hours ago, Saint Rubenio said: What...? How do you know who my father is? Just who are you? Oh, Lady Sylphis told me that. Suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuureeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee... I'm just a priestess of a temple in Trente. I was only headed to the Temple of Mars because my minister asked me to. Nothing special, really. Suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuureeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee... Even for scum, you make a lousy liar. Fair Warning that the video gets pretty violent afterwards 6 hours ago, Saint Rubenio said: If this was anybody else, I'd be amazed at how much of a sassy badass this woman is, but the fact that Maruj's her victim concerns me. The kid's lost virtually everything like a couple days ago, and that makes this scene more disturbing than funny. Not to mention, she's being way more forward than she has any need to be. What, you want to drive him to suicide? You don't even know him, what's your problem!? ... What is it with Holmes attracting @$$holes to his crew? Besides Xeno, maybe Shigen and Samson, and a few people from Runan's army? 6 hours ago, Saint Rubenio said: You made fun of his grandfather's death the other day and his father's absence his entire life! Bitch, you don't get to "hee hee" me after something like that! ...Does somebody mind punching her in the face hard enough to give her a black eye and some missing teeth? 6 hours ago, Saint Rubenio said: Ominous cloaks of ominousness 6 hours ago, Saint Rubenio said: So we got a steel axe. Not sure if it's from that enemy, I'm pretty sure I only took that screenshot to show that Alicia's sprite is the same as Meriel's, but green. Does she still have the toe-tapping idle animation? 6 hours ago, Saint Rubenio said: Youth? I'm pretty sure the pirate bossman isn't that young... also, Blaad? The only explanation I can think of of why a place would be fine with being called Blaad is that the founder had a speech/writing impediment when naming the town, and was so well respected nobody had the heart to change the name. That, or someone said "this land is bad, lad!" and then a sheep baaed, and the lad ran with it. ... I rarely make headcannons, but when I do, stuff like this is created. 6 hours ago, Saint Rubenio said: Attrom? Considering the existence of Xeno, did some of these characters names get mixed up with a sci-fi game? 6 hours ago, Saint Rubenio said: You know, I liked it better in Runan's route, where the psychopathic assholes were no more than a vocal minority. Very much agreed. 6 hours ago, Saint Rubenio said: Ah, so he sees reason. So he was just messing with Katri? "Hue hue hue huehuehehehehaehehuehueaahahhahehuehue, I'll tell Katri I'm gonna leave that guy to get chopped to pieces by the pirates, heheuahahahuehehuahauhe I so funny", was that it? God... I never understood that kind of humor, although maybe it's because I was could never pull it off. 2 hours ago, Dayni said: If that's the limit, Holmes could die to anything! Even a rubber duck!

KnightOfNohr Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 Um...hey. I'm back. It feels kind of weird...I haven't been on Serenes Forest since...well, since the end of your last LP. I just randomly decided to check if you'd done anything new a month or two late. I'm working on binging the earlier updates right now, but I couldn't wait that long to post, so...hi everyone. ...do any of you newcomers know I named Sid?

The Roger The Paladin Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 10 hours ago, Saint Rubenio said: Since every single person in the thread seemed to disagree with me that Alicia has a boob window, I will refer to her artworks (yes, she has two official artworks), because I fail to see why you guys are having such difficulties to see it. Well, guess I'm wrong. 10 hours ago, Saint Rubenio said: Hey, I've no complaints. Garcia had solid bases, Lot is a great character and saved my LP and Wade's also a cool character even if he's lacking when it comes to stats, Bartre and Geitz are good prepromotes... Really, FE7's the one that completely screwed over Fighters (other than Geitz, and you could argue him being easy to miss is also a dickmove against Fighters), and since everyone knows FE7 is the only good GBA game, it's the only one that matters. Dorcas carried my first playthrough of FE7. Seriously. Dorcas. On the flipside, I recently did a no-grind Ironman of Sacred Stones.... using only units like Forde, Dolza, Moulder and Garcia that are usually dumped. Garcia one shotted Lyon with a crit then proceeded to proc another on Formortiis, making it so I could finish him off with fricking EIRIKA (who got blessed to hell before he could do more than his counter on Garcia. To be fair, even on Hard Sacred Stones is easy, so much so that even under these conditions I managed to keep everyone alive... possibly because, or possibly in spite of the fact to "add" challenge I attempted Eirika's Route blind (figuring that I had never used the route and that using the weaker lord would add to the challenge.... then she gets blessed and ends up better than my last Ephraim) Indeed, the only fighters I haven't used in the GBA games are Wade, FE6 Bartre, and Geitz. Yet apart from the terribly slow start on FE 7 Bartre, I've had good results. I'm currently working on a run of Path of Radiance so I can cross Largo off the list of unused axe infantry, and after that I need to do a run where I use Boyd in endgame Radiant Dawn (having chosen to drop him and use Nolan). FE 6 wise, there's also Garret and Geese. Point is, I've made it a goal to try and use every one of the axe infantry of late just because they get so much flak. 11 hours ago, Saint Rubenio said: Meanwhile in Ireland someone is condemned to death Why Ireland, though? Dullahan is an Irish legend of a fairy (not the nice type you bottle in zelda but a powerful supernatural entity) who appears as a headless man holding his yellowed severed head under his left arm. The head has an ear to ear grin. Dullahan travels in a wagon made of the bones of the dead, with wheels with bone spokes, stopping his travels only to shout a name, causing the death of whosoever is victim. So basically, my theory entails his purpose is to keep Shigen's sword powered. Then again, maybe he is more like the fairies in Zelda in that would mean he keeps Shigen alive... 11 hours ago, Saint Rubenio said: "Those who can't control their tongues can't possibly control their magic" says the woman who belittled a child for mourning his grandfather's recent death. I feel slightLee robbed that my second post got no reply. ApparentLee there is a too far with the Lee puns. But come on, at Leest I did a few Arkis jokes as well.

Saint Rubenio Posted January 24, 2019 Author Share Posted January 24, 2019 Part 24 - Really weird-looking bad guy. Replies: Spoiler On 22/1/2019 at 7:27 PM, BrightBow said: Well, in the old translation Maruj came across as aggressive and suspicious right out of the gate. At least from how I remember it. Of course the text was also really hard to decipher at times, so that didn't exactly help to keep track of things. Like, there must have been a dozen different spellings of "Eisenbach" in that one. In any case, in this translation Maruj only comes across as mildly rude at worst. Most certainly not like he was accusing her of anything. You know, even if he came across as "aggressive and suspicious right out of the gate", I still wouldn't have been nearly as put off by the scene. The guy's life has been ruined by a cult of mad magicians, I could understand him being suspicious of a mage who seems to know too much about his dead father. In all fairness, I can think of a reason why she was such a piece of shit to him, but I definitely am not saying that it justifies her actions. And yeah, it's totally a boob window. I just didn't see much value in basically just posting: "Well, that's not what it looks like to me." You mean, like quite literally everyone else? On 22/1/2019 at 7:56 PM, eclipse said: There's only a certain amount of assholishness I'll tolerate. Esther is within that range. Alicia stepped way the hell outside of it. You can say that again. That was merciless... On 22/1/2019 at 9:30 PM, Dayni said: Well, I'd played Thracia first, but still. It was also called Dire Thunder there? I can't remember that. Then again, I read that LP so long ago... I can't wait for a good translation to come out so I can finally play the game properly. Huh. Errors were made. It really did just look like she had a giant brooch. I can understand, the PS1's rather low resolution makes it a little hard to see, but with the higher-resolution portrait it becomes obvious. But I'm still betting he. Just a guess. In before you change the character to female to spite me. :P Here's a hint: it'd be awkward for me to do so. But, no more, no more hints, that's all you're gonna get outta me. Now that's delusional. No u I do understand the concern, but nothing about this seems to indicate three versions. It wasn't received well for Fates, even if it made money hand over fist. That's my main concern, if it made money, that's all that matters to Ninty. I ain't gonna buy three full-priced games, nor one third of a game, so I sure hope they behave. As for Claude, is it the hair? The braid isn't an issue honestly, but still. It's not exactly the braid, but the metal tip of it. It makes it look like a shoelace. But that isn't the problem either, it's the really modern-looking earring. Not only that, but his face has something that just screams XXIst century to me. I can't really explain it. Probably laziness. I'd argue it's canon enough that he could have taken it from somewhere. After he died?! I guess we'll see your approach. I still haven't decided on it. After the update, man this is a lot more dated than I expected. I wrote that before rest of the update, so yeah. So what, Thomas waves a cloth at the projectile to make it blow off course? Exactly. But has he seen a dragon? No, helicopters are not dragons. What do you mean, dragons are not dragons? You high? I thought you'd get that, considering the Catholicness of Spain as a whole. Are you kidding me? After three LPs, would you seriously bet your money on me being even slightly catholic? I don't even know three commandments! I don't know a single prayer! It's been years since I last set foot in a church! C'mon! Really can't deal with Juliattisnacordst, eh? What do you mean? I can deal with Juliattisnacordst just fine. "Good.... evening at..... Verje Hall. I am.... going to... give a gre... grap... good talk!" Is he about to reveal he's got a brother called Wahwee? To be fair, it's not a thick Donegal accent you're listening too. But I've relatives from Cork so I'm more used to it, probably not the best person to ask. You mean this way of speaking is actually normal somewhere in the world? Man, you guys from Iran are really weird. That joke's almost as old as the Dr. Wahwee video itself. Still love it tho. Dr. Wawee is not to be twyfld with! Dr. Light's so drunk, he's gone and lost his words. Where could Dr. Light's words be? "Thet'sh eye gewd quershton." I mean, he wasn't saying it was a short fight. Doesn't mean he liked it. Holmes, please. If that's the limit, Holmes could die to anything! Even a rubber duck! (And no, that's not the actual sound effect and no that's not a parody banner. You got out of Heroes at just the right time.) Did I just watch a naked loli throwing ducks at a dragon while moaning? ...y'know, I think getting out is not enough, I need to uninstall the game before I am put in a watchlist. Alicia: Oh wow I didn't expect that to actually work. What have they wroth on the world? Much pain for men like Roger. Not the Roger. Hot damm, could she be in the Makalov and Peri tier of horrible human being? Fuck that was out of nowhere. Tell me that, I didn't remember this! I do not remember this happening with the older patch. Yeah! I guess the newer patch took Maruj's asshole streak and ensured Alicia got it all. Except Maruj's got a valid reason for his asshole streak. What can Alicia say for herself? "I'm a girl, hurr!"? Yeah, this is past the Arkis "holes for eyes" section of hell. She's already ensured she's in super hell. Super hell? Isn't that a superhero? I mean, after such imaginative names as Superman, Superwoman and Supergirl, I'd imagine Superhell isn't so far-fetched. Eisenbach: "Your mother might not approve and though I shouldn't I say kick her ass!" He's like Obi-Wan, except he enables Maruj. As well he should. Only in stories like these is a sentence like this to be uttered. It's about as absurd as it sounds. Bravo. Thanks. I'm proud of that, myself. So, robes has a friend. A suspiciously Humphrey shaped friend. Guess we'll found out more about him later. She's at least supposed to be a good unit. No luck for me, I suppose. So, back to Bizzaro Sacae lore: Reveal hidden contents Lot reached here and defended the people of the forest to his dying breath. The people saw him as like iron himself, so they constructed metal shells to emulate their strange hero. Your Bizarro Sacae lore's so good. I'm glad I made that joke/test update back in the day. I think he's just trying to assert his authority by being a bossy asshat. Maybe he needs feminism more than most do. Holmes? Holmes definitely needs it. On 22/1/2019 at 9:55 PM, BrightBow said: It's definitely weird when Holmes' acts all reluctant to do the good things he plans to do anyway, seeing how there is no shortage of instances where he does the good thing without having to be prodded. Maybe the idea is that he tries to compensate for people teasing him over the possibility of him having a thing for Katri or whatever? Of course since Katri is currently the only mainstay besides Holmes who has a significant amount of main story dialog (since she can't die and all), no one has really done this so far. Let's be clear on one thing: she can die, only she'll be brought back by... I don't know, Eugen's amazing powers, as well? On 22/1/2019 at 11:49 PM, Hawkwing said: I don't know what surprises me more. The fact that there's actually a window or she has two different styled portraits She seems to be a popular character. She gets fan artwork too, which is rare for TRS characters. On the other hand is Maruj. Searching "Maruj Tear Ring Saga" leads to his official artworks (he has two also), some unrelated TRS pictures, and a ton of marijuana images. I suggest you get therapy for that one. People have been telling me that since FE12, but I don't think it's anything to worry about. Since this isn't really going anywhere, I'll just put down the picture I was going to use and move on (Warning that it is obviously bloody): Reveal hidden contents Y O W I E You've made several spelling errors before. Does it not have the red line underneath misspelled words? It never does point them out, no. What can I say, I don't feel like the typos ruin my LPs or anything, and it's very time-consuming to proofread the whole update. I'm lazy, sorry. Besides, sometimes the typos actually add to the whole thing. Look no further than the time everyone was losing their heads because I said Mouse destroyed the city of Nolzeria. So... I'd be the villain that actually cares about killing the zombies instead of showing that humans are bastards? Or I could show that humans being bastards doesn't need to apply to other humans. Or I'm a hero antagonist. Or... Well, I can't tell you how to live your villanous life, but I'd say you'd be the well-meaning guy who eventually goes mad for reasons. Once again, you are welcome! Once again, thanks! Let's not keep this up forever, we have enough problems as it is, with the overload of Lee puns. Fair, your point is. Important things first, this speech pattern puts. Correctly, not always done. Overdone in the prequels, after all, it is. Underrated, the prequels are. Dank, the memes I find to be. High ground, I have the. But, the droid attack on the wookies, what about? Say, to this I: HATE YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOUUUUUUUUUUUU, I! ...now I feel rather light-headed. Classic "two letters are next to each other on the keyboard" mistake that I've seen so many times you could solve charity if you got a penny every time it occurred. It is a pretty common typi, alongside mistaking your for you're. Alternatively: Reveal hidden contents The light-headedness is getting worse... Eyup. They're called the taguel, and I have a soft spot for them because I can simultaneously take them seriously in the story while embracing how ridiculous the entire concept is. It's an okay class, all around. Six move, ignores the weapon triangle, hits hard and fast at the cost of mediocre defense, and has a useful anti-beast skill. They do have the downside of becoming less useful as the game goes on, especially since they can't promote, but fortunately they aren't as reliant on their stat bonuses as Manaketes are and thus can reclass pretty easily. Sooooo a selling point of the Taguel is that you can have them stop being Taguel? Fucking A, man. That's some good class balancing right there. Now that's an amazing gif if I've ever seen one. Spelling errors!!! Why do you haunt me so?!? You're just as bad as the ninjas I fight in Forum Games!!! There are ninjas in the FG subforum? No, not the Family Guy subforum, only cutaways can be found there. Man, cutaways are such a cheap way to do comedy. Hey, remember the time I lost my mind playing FE12? On 24/8/2017 at 1:19 AM, Saint Rubenio said: Slowly but surely, we're moving forward. Soon, we'll face Aeible. What...? WHAT!? Since when do fucking Horsemen raid villages!? WHAT?! I'm not making this up, this really is what happened! I... has anyone ever seen this happen? GAH! Why does nothing ever go as planned? Arrrrrrghhhh! At least in some ways it's true to life, I suppose. Although if it where real life, halberds would dominate the game. Here they're rather shit. How curious. Because then we'd cheat and bet on the lords. And Lee. And the units you'll never use. Then I'll ask that you are serious about it. Remember how I mentioned earlier that the taguel are shapeshifting bunnies? Well, it's mentioned that they live(d) in warrens. Thus, IS could have made a unique underground level based around rabbit warrens with both wide caves as well narrow and erratic pathways. It would also be a neat opportunity for worldbuilding both through background details on the map and battle screens as well as the overall design the level giving off the impression of being a lost underground animal city. I know it would be a lot of work for a single level, but they've already proven they were willing to do that in other cases. Besides, it would have been something memorable in a game with otherwise okay, if boring, maps, and would have provided more background to the taguel, who suffer from the "you have to dig into supports to find it all" problem that plagues the series.

Neither side is a pushover, and the game is a jerk and doesn't show you the full force of either army until after you made your decision). I understand. I agree, that could probably be nice. Kaga is now doing stuff first in the meta sense. He's a genius. Or a madman. Or both! So it's true! The movement growth actually exists, and it is possible to obtain it! Lionel is off to an excellent start! Is it bad that it took me a moment to understand what this was all about? I actually scrolled down like mad because I thought I'd accidentally gone back to the last update's replies. You got that right. The only death so far is a lord death and the abuse of a special weapon. You lasted longer than anyone expected. Still lastin', too. Famous last words? That makes more sense from both a gameplay and story perspective. Also, she's... well, she's the kind of woman she proved to be in that conversation. Would it count as KDIF if Kaga did it in the original Fire Emblem games and established it as a series tradition? Probably so. Even better! We need to get working on it. Anybody have a good singing voice? Noone? It rarely happens to me, although I don't know if anyone else has made the same mistake. Probably happened to me sometime, but I can't remember. Which makes it all the more confusing why Holmes and a few other characters aren't. Style choices. The artist for TRS (who also did the art for Thracia I'm pretty sure) actually died not long ago. That's a related fact, isn't it? Well... considering his attitude towards women... Fitting for him. I'm honestly surprised that they kept that consistent. Right? He probably wanted you to throw caution to the wind, ignore the crit rate, and just rush the guy. Why are you so reckless? Did you not learn anything from watching me play FE6? Which raises the question: What happens if Holmes dies? After all, Eugen isn't here with his reviving powers. Maybe he'll warp from the other side of the continent and begrudgingly revive Holmes at Runan's request. Yet another person knows that privateeing is legal piracy. Even pieces of garbage like her know it! Even for scum, you make a lousy liar. Fair Warning that the video gets pretty violent afterwards That's nothing, have you been reading the FE12 LP like you said you would? If so, have you made it to Camus and Nyna's Chronicle chapter? Because things get rather violent there. ... What is it with Holmes attracting @$$holes to his crew? Besides Xeno, maybe Shigen and Samson, and a few people from Runan's army? Juni isn't so bad either. Katri's a nice girl, Garo originally came from Holmes's crew and he's good... it's just that the assholes are so obnoxious, they make themselves look like they're the majority. Huh. Kinda like in real life. ...Does somebody mind punching her in the face hard enough to give her a black eye and some missing teeth? Hey, one doesn't hit girls. It's a shitty thing to do. So next time she's on a bridge, push her off and we'll just pretend it was an accident. Ominous cloaks of ominousness Are you feeling the foreboringness yet? Does she still have the toe-tapping idle animation? She does, yes. Why? The only explanation I can think of of why a place would be fine with being called Blaad is that the founder had a speech/writing impediment when naming the town, and was so well respected nobody had the heart to change the name. That actually sounds reasonable enough. That, or someone said "this land is bad, lad!" and then a sheep baaed, and the lad ran with it. Wouldn't it be called "badladaaaaad", then? ... I rarely make headcannons, but when I do, stuff like this is created. Lovely. Do it more often. Attrom? Considering the existence of Xeno, did some of these characters names get mixed up with a sci-fi game? They're both Mercenaries with ropes they never use, too. I think I sense a connection here... Very much agreed. It's gonna be a while before we get back to Runan, I'm afraid, so we'll have to get used to it. I never understood that kind of humor, although maybe it's because I was could never pull it off. It's really easy to pull off, but it's rarely funny. You guys haven't seen anything yet. I prefer that one to the naked loli, honestly. On 23/1/2019 at 3:52 AM, KnightOfNohr said: Um...hey. I'm back. Ah, my friend, welcome! It's good to see you again.

Dullahan travels in a wagon made of the bones of the dead, with wheels with bone spokes, stopping his travels only to shout a name, causing the death of whosoever is victim. So basically, my theory entails his purpose is to keep Shigen's sword powered. Then again, maybe he is more like the fairies in Zelda in that would mean he keeps Shigen alive... All I know about Irish fairies is that they speak funny, they live in rainbows and like cooking gold, but not eating it. Irish guys are weird. "Those who can't control their tongues can't possibly control their magic" says the woman who belittled a child for mourning his grandfather's recent death. Guess that's why her levels in the skirmish were all garbage. I feel slightLee robbed that my second post got no reply. ApparentLee there is a too far with the Lee puns. But come on, at Leest I did a few Arkis jokes as well. I am deeplee sorry. I do beleeve I must've forgotten about it, because I did read it. It got me making a smilee face, too, so don't despair, you've still got it! Update: Spoiler Here's today's map. It's like the Temple of Mars, but without NPCs and outside. In other words, and actually challenging version of that one. The High Mage doesn't move, thankfully, but the shieldblade asshole? The killer bastard and his twin brothers? No rules for them. That's gonna be bothersome. Among the crowd, we can find this person. HP 70% - Strength 40% - Skill 50% - Speed 45% - Defense 20% - Magic 5% - Luck 20% - Mastery 30% Attrom's basically Xeno with slightly better bases and growths, but slightly worse availability. He gains Sol at level 15 and Lethality later on, which is a slightly better skillset than Xeno's. His supports are actually a little worse than Xeno's, with all of them being healers who definitely shouldn't be frontlining like him. Really, he's just Xeno all over again with some minor advantages and disadvantages. I like him better if only because I prefer his design, but that's about it. Okay, time to get going. Roger, get us started! First level, so soon? Don't mind if I do! That's pretty decent, I like it. Thanks. Holy crap, Garo one shots this guy! Amazing! Even Julia can kill-- never mind, she can't double. Siiiiigh... No matter, the damage's good enough for Alicia. Ah, it's been too long since we saw Maruj's hilarious plane animations. Yet another kill for Lionel. He's on a roll thus far. Aaaahhhh what a shame, Attrom can't run away. Well, he'll have to tank some hits. Katri supports him for 5% dodge. Not the best thing ever, but I'll take it. C'mon, Attrom. I think you can do it! Good job. AH CRIT! NOOHOOOO! Phew-- AH CRIT! NOOHOOOO! Phew... Ah-ha! No crit! Oh-ho, I stand corrected. There is a crit! KABOOM! Juliattisnacordst, could you please stop making my heart race? It's not good when it does that, you know. Nngh... don't get hit...! Attrom! Ah, who cares, it's the end of the turn. You cannot be allowed to live much longer. Unleash the Wundergust, Maruj! There! Prove your mettle to the bitch, Maruj. No holding back! Garo, it's your time to shine! Alicia, finish off the shieldblade man with your magic! Nice, it's ours now. Well... it's magic, I guess. This is the killer fucker. Well, one of them, at any rate. He scares me. Holmes, deal with him from afar. This arrow hit, by the way. Not only is it being fired backwards, it also just barely grazes its target. Holmes, get a grip, you're supposed to be a great archer! And that marks the end of the killer fucker's life. Never mind, that was somebody else. Katri, you're such a terrible healer... I wish I could use Mel instead of you. She's not that much better, but she has a horse and supports The Roger. Don't worry, don't worry, I haven't forgotten about the man with the killer axe. I'll get him soon enough. Attrom's defense worries me, but with the shieldblade, he'll be invincible, unless I get unlucky. Oh God what was I thinking, he could easily die, I must take care never to take such chances again. Esther, please. I know I said you're great, but to be honest, as nice as your defense growth's been, the fact remains that your offense is bad. Work on it! For now, though, I'm afraid it's up to The Roger the Paladin. Why yes, I refused to press my luck with a 98% chance to hit. The time will come when I get cocky, but for now, the wounds I sustained back in FE6 have still not healed. So, I take him down safely and cleanly. Best watch out for this guy. He doesn't have much attack, but that brave crossbow could do a number on my weaker units. This is a better match-up for Esther. Well done, Esther. You know, if there's one thing that saves Julia, it's her supports. Look at that dodge! I mean, sure, even after a crit and a normal hit she still couldn't kill the guy, but I'm fine with that. I'll take it over her destroying the enemy but taking every single hit, as that'd lead to nothing but her untimely demise. See? Dramatic. Man, I seriously hate low luck... and he can actually die this time around! Some luck, perhaps? Nice, and some defense, too! I like it. Thanks, Lion. Suddenly, it's time for text! What the heck is that? Why is this man white, as in, bleach white? Why do his robes' decorations look so out of place? He's just wearing a basic Bad Guy Black Robe with friggin' stained glass on top of it! Or is it a time vortex slapped on some cloth? Clashing styles much? W-What the--!? Who the hell are you!? Someone with shared interests. Among the companions of that pirate Holmes, there's a priestess with red hair. Bring her to me, and I will reward you. Well... It was either kill 'em or take 'em prisoner anyway, so... Sure! I can do that. Pleasure doing business with you. So here's the weird part: instead of just leaving, the guy with the weird robes actually comes out and... becomes the map's boss? He can't even fight, either, just summon skeletons... oh, well. It's free experience, I won't question it. Anyway, more fighting. Katri, when do I get to bench you? Don't miss, Esther, and you shall be rewarded! Doggone it, why? Why me? One can at least count on The Roger to be good. Julia finally kills something. Not by herself, tho, so no songs this time. Shigen's so much better than his sister, it's rather saddening. Baaaaahhhh that fucker survived. Doruk, go hump a bottle! Leave me alone! At least this idiot fell for my trap. Tom'd! Gaah! Let Juliattisnacordst breathe, god damnit! Deal with him, Roger! Not a very good level. Attrom nails a guy and gains a good amount of experience. And just like that, we're nearly in the clear! Oh, right, the summoning staff. If you look at it hard enough, you'll notice that the left-most skeleton is darker than the others. That means he's actually promoted. Best be careful. These aren't the most threatening enemies ever, but they're certainly a step above zombies. Not too steep a step, though. Alicia Jeigans the first skeleton for Julia. Why am I still using you? I can't think of a single reason... Ack, what a shame! He's just one point short of one-shotting this pile of bones. This one'll be for Esther. Excellent. Not so excellent. I appreciate the HP, lady, but I'd like some offensive stats more. Don't get hit, Attrom. It'd be really sweet if you could dodge this. Bah... at least you hit him. Lovely. I like it, thanks. That Mage is starting to annoy me. Next turn will be his last. Guh... damnable bonemen! Girl, you have no idea how badly those supports of yours save your ass. Pretty sure that hit. Pretty sure that hit, too. Why didn't I take screencaps of the actual hits? Finally, an enemy Garo can 1HKO. I've been looking forward to this. Luck's good. Alicia levels up as well. Man, and you were so proud when you were making fun of Maruj... he's better than you! I could kill Doruk already, but I believe I'd rather have him waste his entire skeleton staff for the experience. Nearly a level. Keep the good work up, Attrom. As for the High Mage... His time is at an end! Perish! Cool. Not likely. I don't want to kill him yet, but there's no reason I can't get some experience out of them. Hmph... I need to ensure these idiots don't spawn all over the place. So long as they don't get to Katri, though, we'll be swell. The Mages mage enemies to death. What the hell is up with Attrom's feet in that frame? Who cares, strength. Keep going, I'm liking your growth thus far. Pretty sure something like this will be enough to force Doruk to spawn his undead pals behind the keep. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!! Duck, you bumbling bimbo, DUCK! THAT ISN'T IT, YOU DUMBASS! For once I'm fine with the speed! It'll help her dodge more efficiently. Yeah, yeah, I know, cut back to Katri! I swear to God, Katri, if you ruin my run, I'll... Boooooooff... haaaaaahhh... good, good. I'm proud of you, girl. Run! I have no way to heal you! Turn into a dragon, just to be safe! Excellent. Now, revenge must be obtained! I demand it! Dang it, Maruj! Revenge has been had. Good, it seems we're safe. Well, suit yourselves, this is gonna be all that's going to happen for a while. With levels to occasionally break the monotony, of course. This one's pretty nice. Tom, I want to use you, I really do, but you're making it so damn hard... Hohohohohohohoh, amazing! No offensive stats makes me sad, but look at that defense! She just keeps on going! Aaaaaaaaaaand here we go again. I might start skipping the fighting soon. Not just yet, though. We're getting so many levels, there's no point. Great work, Juliattisnacordst. Not so good. C'mon, Attrom, I thought I made it pretty clear what kind of levels I like to see! This has gone on for long enough that I'm feeling pretty safe. I've decided to revert Katri's transformation so I can heal up my wounded. I'd like for Esther to return to the frontlines. ...oh, I can't... I don't believe it! I DON'T BELIEVE IT! I DO NOT BELIEVE IT! OF COURSE, AND TRANSFORMING DIDN'T HEAL HER! NO! NO! NO WAY! THAT CAN'T BE RIGHT! THAT'S CHEATING, DORUK'S FUCKING CHEATING! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO-- Ssshhhii... urgh. ... Look. New Holmes portrait. How nice. You know what? I think I'm done. Any sort of bullshit way to lose in FE, you name it, I've probably endured it. Death by being too bad at fighting, death by being too good at fighting, death by crits, death by effective damage, death by reinforcements, death by enemies recruiting themselves at the worst time, death by a single enemy in the entire map being worse than the rest of his peers so that Hugh would double him and only him, death by long-ranged attacks, death by seemingly-uncrossable terrain being crossable, death by Horsemen randomly being able to raid villages... It's not even just in my LPs, either: some time after FE6, I played FE11 with my friends, and you know what happened? Palla died when she and Catria recruited themselves by talking to Marth WHILE HE WAS HELPING KEEP A SNIPER PINNED AGAINST A WALL! And now, I can also say I've experienced death by turning back into a helpless cleric just in time for a skeleton to randomly spawn on top of you! Fuck me. Fuck me good and sideways. Honestly, I would've liked it better if she could die permanently, because I'd take my run over useless little Katri any time. But I can't, so we can wave all those levels goodbye. Good, that's good, great. Nice. Fuck you too, RNGoddess. I should've known something smelled rotten when the second skeleton missed her. The RNGoddess would've never allowed me to get away with such great luck. Blistering barnacles, man! That's the update, folks. Katri screwed everything up. Next time we do it all over again. Joy. Farewell, will you? Death count: -- Reset count: 2 (Runan: 1 - Katri: 1) Dullahan's done with my incompetence: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eclipse Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 . . .holy shit I'm so sorry. . .that's gotta be annoying. Can you load Katri with curatives, so she can heal herself? (shamelessly plugging myself) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pengaius Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 This, this is what happens when you don't bring mUh BeSt CaV Arkis onto a story map, anyway, hard luck my dude, fuel up an a comforting stick of butter and try again later m'kay. The rest of this his post is for Arkis only so if the rest of you guys could just leave Spoiler Hey arkis if you start to get good levels the Ruben will have the big lose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrightBow Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 Being basically a copy of Xeno makes Attrom looks so damn disposable. Holmes' also already got Shigen, who is very functionally similar Xeno too. So I did the amazingly stupid decision to not restart when he kicked the bucket on this map. I sure ended up regretting that. Especially with staff users in this game being so damn easy to miss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawkwing Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 I seem to have an odd habit of being one of the first people present when you post an update, yet I'm always in a situation where I have to comment later. 9 hours ago, Saint Rubenio said: It never does point them out, no. What can I say, I don't feel like the typos ruin my LPs or anything, and it's very time-consuming to proofread the whole update. I'm lazy, sorry. Besides, sometimes the typos actually add to the whole thing. Look no further than the time everyone was losing their heads because I said Mouse destroyed the city of Nolzeria. I wonder if you have it turned off or not. And I see what you mean about them adding, rather than detracting, to the lets play, so I don't have much reason to complain. 9 hours ago, Saint Rubenio said: Underrated, the prequels are. Dank, the memes I find to be. High ground, I have the. But, the droid attack on the wookies, what about? Say, to this I: HATE YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOUUUUUUUUUUUU, I! On the prequels, neutral, I am. Moments of great stupidity and genius, they have both. Awesome, the memes are, I agree. 9 hours ago, Saint Rubenio said: It is a pretty common typi, alongside mistaking your for you're. You made a typo in a comment about typos. 9 hours ago, Saint Rubenio said: Sooooo a selling point of the Taguel is that you can have them stop being Taguel? Fucking A, man. That's some good class balancing right there. A few points: A. The taguel (it's lowercase. I found that out when looking up the lore myself) more useful in the early game, before most of your units are promoted. The six move remains pretty useful until it becomes the standard, and ignoring the weapon triangle is a double-edged sword with obvious pros and cons. Usually, I use Panne as much as I can in the mid game, and then reclass her once she starts to fall behind. B. The recalssing options of both Panne and Yarne highlight how reclassing can be done right. With the skills of either class line, they can become masters of movement and/or offensive powerhouses C. There's the solid strategy of reclassing them out of the taguel class once they start to fall behind, give them some stat and skill boosts from other calassins, and then make them a taguel again. As mentioned earlier, they have an anti-beast skill, and that becomes especially useful in the mid to late game. D. They aren't as reliant on their stat boosts as the manaketes are, who in comparison start out with stats in the single digits (with the exception of Tiki). 9 hours ago, Saint Rubenio said: Now that's an amazing gif if I've ever seen one. What he's reacting to is just as hilarious. 9 hours ago, Saint Rubenio said: Here they're rather shit. How curious. Halberds were the last melee weapon to be used alongside firearms, and for good reason. They are a versatile weapon with several different ways to attack the enemy, and because it could work as a spear, an inexperienced wielder could still do some damage with it. 9 hours ago, Saint Rubenio said: Is it bad that it took me a moment to understand what this was all about? I actually scrolled down like mad because I thought I'd accidentally gone back to the last update's replies. This got a solid laugh out of me, so no. 9 hours ago, Saint Rubenio said: Still lastin', too. Famous last words? Not a bad line to return to dust with. 9 hours ago, Saint Rubenio said: Style choices. The artist for TRS (who also did the art for Thracia I'm pretty sure) actually died not long ago. That's a related fact, isn't it? That's an interesting, if random, tidbit. May they rest in peace. 9 hours ago, Saint Rubenio said: That's nothing, have you been reading the FE12 LP like you said you would? If so, have you made it to Camus and Nyna's Chronicle chapter? Because things get rather violent there. I admit that might be a while. I've been focused on completing college work lately (which is mostly independent studies and out of class work this semester), and I like to focus on reading and commenting on something like this first when I have the free time. Also, I am impressed that that is not the most violent thing that you have done. Now as for that assholes fate... 9 hours ago, Saint Rubenio said: Juni isn't so bad either. Katri's a nice girl, Garo originally came from Holmes's crew and he's good... it's just that the assholes are so obnoxious, they make themselves look like they're the majority. Huh. Kinda like in real life. Fair point. 9 hours ago, Saint Rubenio said: Hey, one doesn't hit girls. It's a shitty thing to do. Hey, if feminists are whining about wanting "equality", they have to take the bad with the good. 9 hours ago, Saint Rubenio said: So next time she's on a bridge, push her off and we'll just pretend it was an accident. I would be okay with this plan, except with your luck, this would happen instead. 9 hours ago, Saint Rubenio said: She does, yes. Why? So it really was was nothing but a recolor. 9 hours ago, Saint Rubenio said: Wouldn't it be called "badladaaaaad", then? Because the lad was half mad, in the sense that he had a funny way of thinking, and combined things out of order. 9 hours ago, Saint Rubenio said: They're both Mercenaries with ropes they never use, too. I think I sense a connection here... Did they think they were going to be part of a sci fi themed DnD game, then told it was a point and click adventure game, then it told it was a fantasy game instead? I can understand their confusion and why they didn't bother to change things. For some reason, I'm reminded of the opening minutes of The Fifth Element, where I initially thought it would be a combination of Indiana Jones and Star Wars. Instead, it was a disappointing sci fi flick that was literally written by a 13 year old. 9 hours ago, Saint Rubenio said: It's gonna be a while before we get back to Runan, I'm afraid, so we'll have to get used to it. Thank you for the warning. 9 hours ago, Saint Rubenio said: I prefer that one to the naked loli, honestly. Wait, do you mean what Danyi said, or what I put? Anyway, the joke is more significant and funnier anyway when you see how the guy normally plays Hitman. To say Mike does not have a stelthy bone in his body is the understatement of the century. 9 hours ago, Saint Rubenio said: Attrom's basically Xeno with slightly better bases and growths, but slightly worse availability. He gains Sol at level 15 and Lethality later on, which is a slightly better skillset than Xeno's. His supports are actually a little worse than Xeno's, with all of them being healers who definitely shouldn't be frontlining like him. Really, he's just Xeno all over again with some minor advantages and disadvantages. I like him better if only because I prefer his design, but that's about it. Huh, so they have more in common that holding onto rope they never use and having sci-fi inspired names. I'll be disappointed if they aren't support buddies. 9 hours ago, Saint Rubenio said: Okay, time to get going. Roger, get us started! You forgot the "The". 9 hours ago, Saint Rubenio said: Even Julia can kill-- never mind, she can't double. Siiiiigh... Why are you using her again? 9 hours ago, Saint Rubenio said: AH CRIT! NOOHOOOO! ...It's a one percent crit. Forget the horsemen, I think that FE6 gave you a phobia of enemy crit rates. 9 hours ago, Saint Rubenio said: Two things: 1. The shieldblade is red, so does that mean that the sith of this universe are ironically good at defending instead of letting loose? 2. Are the sellswords using one form of the Mordhau technique? 9 hours ago, Saint Rubenio said: KABOOM! It looks like The Roger chopped the pirates head in half with the first swing. The stab was just overkill. 9 hours ago, Saint Rubenio said: This arrow hit, by the way. Not only is it being fired backwards, it also just barely grazes its target. Holmes, get a grip, you're supposed to be a great archer! Holmes seemed to do the "shoot apple off head" trick, but forgot that there was no apple, and that the head was a few inches lower. 9 hours ago, Saint Rubenio said: Attrom's defense worries me, but with the shieldblade, he'll be invincible, unless I get unlucky. Oh God what was I thinking, he could easily die, I must take care never to take such chances again. I love these two sentences. It summarizes so much. 9 hours ago, Saint Rubenio said: Best watch out for this guy. He doesn't have much attack, but that brave crossbow could do a number on my weaker units Random observation, but does this mean that the brave bow is an automatic crossbow that is seen in fiction yet probably wouldn't work so well in real life? 9 hours ago, Saint Rubenio said: You know, if there's one thing that saves Julia, it's her supports. Look at that dodge! Ah. So that's why you're keeping her. 9 hours ago, Saint Rubenio said: What the heck is that? Why is this man white, as in, bleach white? Why do his robes' decorations look so out of place? He's just wearing a basic Bad Guy Black Robe with friggin' stained glass on top of it! Or is it a time vortex slapped on some cloth? Clashing styles much? Why is discount Palpatine here? 9 hours ago, Saint Rubenio said: Someone with shared interests. Among the companions of that pirate Holmes, there's a priestess with red hair. Bring her to me, and I will reward you. That love both the detail and the intentional suckiness of this portrait. Shame he's probably going to die. 9 hours ago, Saint Rubenio said: Well... It was either kill 'em or take 'em prisoner anyway, so... Sure! I can do that. Pleasure doing business with you. I don't think this guy is genre-savvy. People like Discount Palatine usually kill the expendable people they hired both to keep the reward and to leave no witnesses. 9 hours ago, Saint Rubenio said: He can't even fight, either, just summon skeletons... oh, well. It's free experience, I won't question it. So, he's the games first cantor. And unlike in Gaiden/Echoes, he's not introduced alone so you get an idea of how they work. Considering that the staffs have limited uses, I'm reminded of the pros and cons discussion we had some time back. 9 hours ago, Saint Rubenio said: Shigen's so much better than his sister, it's rather saddening. Wait, Shigen has a sister? 9 hours ago, Saint Rubenio said: Duck, you bumbling bimbo, DUCK! Oh no... 9 hours ago, Saint Rubenio said: Boooooooff... haaaaaahhh... good, good. I'm proud of you, girl. How many people dodge in this game just by looking away from their opponent? 9 hours ago, Saint Rubenio said: OF COURSE, AND TRANSFORMING DIDN'T HEAL HER! NO! NO! NO WAY! THAT CAN'T BE RIGHT! THAT'S CHEATING, DORUK'S FUCKING CHEATING! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO-- ...And these are the downsides of the dragon transformations in this game. 9 hours ago, Saint Rubenio said: Ssshhhii... urgh. ... Our second death... ...Was a character that resets the map. Joy. 9 hours ago, Saint Rubenio said: You know what? I think I'm done. Any sort of bullshit way to lose in FE, you name it, I've probably endured it.

The Roger The Paladin Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 (edited) 11 hours ago, Saint Rubenio said: It was also called Dire Thunder there? I can't remember that. Then again, I read that LP so long ago... I can't wait for a good translation to come out so I can finally play the game properly. Thracia still stands as the blight on my record with the Fire Emblem games just because I keep waiting on a translation that never comes. Kind of like the CD-i Zeldas stand as a blight on my record with that series. On the flip side, I actually got to play Hotel Mario once. It's not as bad as people say if you go in expecting something closer to the Mario Bros. arcade in quality than Super Mario World 11 hours ago, Saint Rubenio said: Y O W I E What does the Australian Bigfoot have to do with this? 11 hours ago, Saint Rubenio said: Ah, it's been too long since we saw Maruj's hilarious plane animations.

Palla died when she and Catria recruited themselves by talking to Marth WHILE HE WAS HELPING KEEP A SNIPER PINNED AGAINST A WALL! I remember my Ironman of Shadow Dragon, which went swimmingly (no deaths)... up until I forgot to give a second key to the team I sent off to free Xane. This resulted in him deciding to recruit himself at the start of enemy phase while Marth had several enemies he could survive attacking him... but Xane had no chance in hell and ended up dead before I could control him. Fortunately I had no plans of using him, and despite a really close call with Tiki at Medon's border, I was able to bring him back due to lack of other options. 11 hours ago, Saint Rubenio said: All I know about Irish fairies is that they speak funny, they live in rainbows and like cooking gold, but not eating it. Irish guys are weird. Pretty sure that's just leprechauns. Fairies in Irish lore are varied a lot. Some full blown abducting children as food. Not exactly the type you'd want to trust to heal Link in some incarnations. Others will put powerful curses on you just for breaking a ring of mushrooms or stepping in a circle of stones. I had a thought. What if one of the hooded figures was a Martel that proved "too brilliant (read dumb, as he could not comprehend he was fatally wounded) to die" returned for a dastardly nonsensical plan of vengeance against people who weren't actually involved directly in his demise because he's so drastically stupid he thinks the most direct way of harming Roy, who he blames for his death, is to attack his ally, Matthis, who is "less well guarded". That'd be comedy gold. Also it'd have the fringe benefit of debunking any jokes about two Martels having the same name.

Vestrikslana Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 It completely slipped my mind to comment on the last part but I didn't have much to say anyway except what the fuck Alicia 13 hours ago, Saint Rubenio said: It was also called Dire Thunder there? I can't remember that. Then again, I read that LP so long ago... I can't wait for a good translation to come out so I can finally play the game properly. I also meant to clarify this. The old Thracia patch (I haven't played it myself, but I used Mekkkah's Thracia Ironman LP on YouTube as a reference - check that out if you haven't, by the way, it's a good playthrough) called it DaimThun (Daim Thunder; I'm assuming it had to be shortened due to hacking limitations at the time), which is more accurate to ダイムサンダー (Daimusandā in rōmaji) but, on the other hand, doesn't mean anything. The name Dire Thunder did originate in Heroes (hence why I mentioned Heroes to begin with), and it's one of the translation decisions Heroes made that I agree with. Brenthunder, by the way, is a pretty direct translation of ブレンサンダ (Burensanda). 13 hours ago, Saint Rubenio said: I think the only axe infantry I haven't used in the GBA games is FE7!Bartre. Take that as you will. also, not using FE7 Bartre is good taste FE7 completely defiles Bartre as both a character and unit and he alone counts for 3 games of bad Fighters 13 hours ago, Saint Rubenio said: Oh hi Gharnef. 13 hours ago, Saint Rubenio said: Katri, when do I get to bench you? In some sense I like the fact that Katri is unbenchable and a game over character (at least for right now, I don't know if that changes because I don't have first-hand experience with this game) because it ensures that Holmes always has a healer no matter how badly things turn out, but on the other hand... 13 hours ago, Saint Rubenio said: And now, I can also say I've experienced death by turning back into a helpless cleric just in time for a skeleton to randomly spawn on top of you! Fuck me. Fuck me good and sideways. Honestly, I would've liked it better if she could die permanently, because I'd take my run over useless little Katri any time. But I can't, so we can wave all those levels goodbye. Good, that's good, great. Nice. Fuck you too, RNGoddess. I should've known something smelled rotten when the second skeleton missed her. The RNGoddess would've never allowed me to get away with such great luck. Blistering barnacles, man! That's the update, folks. Katri screwed everything up. Next time we do it all over again. Joy. Farewell, will you? ...yeah. I'd say there's a message to be learned about not getting too greedy when farming reinforcements for experience, but that would be a bit mean right now. 3 hours ago, Hawkwing said: Wait, Shigen has a sister?

That's where the Duck of Doom went! 17 hours ago, Saint Rubenio said: It was also called Dire Thunder there? I can't remember that. Then again, I read that LP so long ago... I can't wait for a good translation to come out so I can finally play the game properly. It wasn't in the old patch, but I'm pretty sure Dire Thunder was the consensus before they were in Heroes too. 19 hours ago, Saint Rubenio said: That's my main concern, if it made money, that's all that matters to Ninty. I ain't gonna buy three full-priced games, nor one third of a game, so I sure hope they behave. It would get some serious backlash if it did. Especially if that was the next bit of info to come out after 7 months of silence. 17 hours ago, Saint Rubenio said: It's not exactly the braid, but the metal tip of it. It makes it look like a shoelace. But that isn't the problem either, it's the really modern-looking earring. Not only that, but his face has something that just screams XXIst century to me. I can't really explain it. That first part's also not inaccurate (though not exactly a European thing), 19 hours ago, Saint Rubenio said: After he died?! He was able to get to it in the fort while dying? Look I don't know, his being alive's on the devs. 19 hours ago, Saint Rubenio said: Exactly. It's a shame I took so long to reply, I really should demonstrate it. 19 hours ago, Saint Rubenio said: What do you mean, dragons are not dragons? You high? This is just the same as Butz, eh? 17 hours ago, Saint Rubenio said: Are you kidding me? After three LPs, would you seriously bet your money on me being even slightly catholic? I don't even know three commandments! I don't know a single prayer! It's been years since I last set foot in a church! C'mon! I dunno, lapsed Catholic might be the largest in Eurpoe at this point. 17 hours ago, Saint Rubenio said: You mean this way of speaking is actually normal somewhere in the world? Man, you guys from Iran are really weird. That joke's almost as old as the Dr. Wahwee video itself. Still love it tho. Don't be dissin Cork boi! (Trust me you need to hear that spoken to get the effect) 17 hours ago, Saint Rubenio said: Did I just watch a naked loli throwing ducks at a dragon while moaning? ...y'know, I think getting out is not enough, I need to uninstall the game before I am put in a watchlist. 1. Wearing a towel (Not much better) 2. There's a word for that moan (I do not know off the top of my head) 3. Your call, I'm not judging. Honestly, I didn't even get into the real matter of the salt like Camilla No. 6 (even if she's free) or it being another Fates Royals alt banner. Not even 8-ab Ryoma could save it. 17 hours ago, Saint Rubenio said: He's like Obi-Wan, except he enables Maruj. As well he should. "Go to the Dagon Bah system." "Why?" "Dagon's there. Go and kick his head a bit." 17 hours ago, Saint Rubenio said: Your Bizarro Sacae lore's so good. I'm glad I made that joke/test update back in the day. I really need to find better hints, Lot was an obvious link. And no, Port Mars is just too obvious for a reference to the FE OVA, so probably not. 17 hours ago, Saint Rubenio said: Holmes? Holmes definitely needs it. Yeah, he really does. 17 hours ago, Saint Rubenio said: Among the crowd, we can find this person. HP 70% - Strength 40% - Skill 50% - Speed 45% - Defense 20% - Magic 5% - Luck 20% - Mastery 30% Attrom's basically Xeno with slightly better bases and growths, but slightly worse availability. He gains Sol at level 15 and Lethality later on, which is a slightly better skillset than Xeno's. His supports are actually a little worse than Xeno's, with all of them being healers who definitely shouldn't be frontlining like him. Really, he's just Xeno all over again with some minor advantages and disadvantages. I like him better if only because I prefer his design, but that's about it. Man, Alm's fallen on hard times. At least he has some family though. 18 hours ago, Saint Rubenio said: KABOOM! So you're telling me crits are magic in Lieberia. There has to some way to make them triggerable. 18 hours ago, Saint Rubenio said: Well... it's magic, I guess. Reinhardt must be sitting back muttering "Good, good" in the background. It seems like what that dastardly villain would do. 18 hours ago, Saint Rubenio said: Nice, and some defense, too! I like it. Thanks, Lion. I can't wait to see another movement. 18 hours ago, Saint Rubenio said: What the heck is that? Why is this man white, as in, bleach white? Why do his robes' decorations look so out of place? He's just wearing a basic Bad Guy Black Robe with friggin' stained glass on top of it! Or is it a time vortex slapped on some cloth? Clashing styles much? A really bizarre cloth that reflects light weirdly? Are we sure Lieberia's not post-apocalyptic? 18 hours ago, Saint Rubenio said: He can't even fight, either, just summon skeletons... oh, well. It's free experience, I won't question it. Dork's a bit of an idiot. 18 hours ago, Saint Rubenio said: Lovely. I like it, thanks. At least Attralm's trying. 18 hours ago, Saint Rubenio said: Turn into a dragon, just to be safe! Well, if there's one way to raise defence, it's becoming a big Fuck Off dragon. 18 hours ago, Saint Rubenio said: Hohohohohohohoh, amazing! No offensive stats makes me sad, but look at that defense! She just keeps on going! Est, move over? 18 hours ago, Saint Rubenio said: Look. New Holmes portrait. How nice. He just looks like Katri spilled milk and he's disappointed about it. 18 hours ago, Saint Rubenio said: Reset count: 2 (Runan: 1 - Katri: 1) And so it continues. (Did Katri have a herb? Or a fruit?)

BrightBow Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 For people that played Gaiden or Echoes it might be worth noting that the skeletons didn't spawn where it did because of obstructed spaces. It's not like in Gaiden where monsters spawn as close to the caster as possible. Here it's entirely normal for summoned monsters to spawn a few tiles from the caster. So it's best to keep some distance until you can swoop in for the kill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawkwing Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 You know? I should really start reviewing what I wrote before I post. Even if I'm tired and don't want to deal with SF's "prove you aren't a robot" thing, it's better than seeing all the spelling errors in hindsight. Anyway: 13 hours ago, Ruminant said: See here: On 12/30/2018 at 5:38 PM, Saint Rubenio said: I didn't know you'd left the isle as well! Never thought our old man would allow it.

Kinda hard to keep track of all the relations when you aren't playing the game itself. 7 hours ago, Dayni said: That's where the Duck of Doom went! Ey!
