  1. Okay, update time! Apologies for the wait, I really need to stop giving estimates of when I'll get the next update out cause life keeps going crazy and things have been kinda rough on me lately. However, I'm determined to see this through so even if some updates take a while, I'm definitely still keeping it going!
  2. Hey all! Should have posted this a little while ago, but just letting you know that, somewhat miraculously, all my stuff managed to get recovered! My momentum had been a bit shot through it all and I've still been crazy busy, but I'm hoping to get the next update and get properly rolling (again) this weekend.
  3. Well, worse news, turns out my computer might just be dead or dying now too, and I don't have a backup of this on another computer (cause I'm an idiot). Still have some things to try and recovery's a thing if it gets to that, but...there's a chance this could be another hiatus, cause if I've ended up losing all my stuff I don't really know what I'd do. Sorry to all you guys who read and reply, and I'll try to keep posted when I figure things out.
  4. Hi all, just a quick check in to let you know it'll be a little delayed on the next update. Just been insane at work including having to overtime a lot last week, in addition to some potential health/medical stuff going on for me lately and a bunch of busy weekends. Sorry I seem to delay a lot these days, but thank you all for the patience!
  5. Alrighty, 11 Ephraim time! I've had most of this chapter done for a while, just work got insane this past week and will be insane for another week or two unfortunately :( But alas, let's go! Chapter 11 time!
  6. Huh, that's odd. Might have been when I copied everything over once I missed yours somehow, cause I remember typing out responses! Thanks for letting me know though. Ah, sorry to disappoint, but I appreciate the critique. Always feel free to let me know what I could be doing better (either here or PMs or whatever), especially with that sort of stuff! I'll get to the rest of this reply on the next update!
  7. Thank one of my friends for that one, actually. I hope you all enjoyed it! That I like magic boomy sparky things, aka elemental things with nice spell animations. I should look up the animation myself, but I hope it's better than some fliers in PoR. They start on the ground, take off, come swooping in...and then just land again in front of them, then swing. Rather than swinging past them with any momentum or anything. It looks awkward...at least to me. If she gets used more I'll continue to call it casual breath. It's just now I'm noticing this game has the 4 weapon 4 item inventory system like PoR does. I've found I both like and dislike it at times. That's...kind of awesome. Again, I'm looking forward to seeing some of the high ranking magic! Reminds me of a bunch of the higher level spells, especially dark, in the GBA games, but the characters can just sidestep, or barely twitch in some cases, and be perfectly fine. Well she got magic faster than Maruj did, didn't she? That whole inserted conversation gave me a good laugh, I love it. I also love when the AI decides not to attack the person in death range. Don't always understand it, but hey, take the small miracles where you can get em! RIP poor soldier dude. You tried, in your own way. And yet, you saved Ruben a lot of trouble, you deserved better. Luckilee he needed the luck. I mean, I feel like this is Plum in a nutshell at this point. Hmm, curious to see more on this, especially since I really like FE7 (though to be fair there's plenty of nostalgia to that). I always appreciate this in these games, where if you don't manage to get the NPC recruited they'll join you if they're alive, at least in the cases where it makes total sense that they would. With the way the pictures are, I just imagine him using that as a very long sword of lightning and dropping it on them from afar. Yeah uh...that's kind of horrible. I know some others mentioned it, but that's going a bit too far there Kaga. I mean every time I see his face on the level up screen it's a slightly entertaining "Oh yeah, you're playable, keep on bein cool Norton." Seems like she's doing pretty well so far. I get these all the time when trying to cap an impact in combat, so yeah they're definitely slow enough to reliably screenshot in the GBA FE's. Makes you wonder why they made the class in the first place. Runan's been earning some personal points here. I love it. Yeah this is the case where I don't think the two scenes flow into each other quite too well, as opposed to the one with Esther from before where it worked a lot better IMO. Unless they build on Sasha being oblivious to this at some point. I make no such promises of punctuality! (Though actually sorry I'm always so late to updates!) Also I did like the scene among all the OCs just portraying them as the sort of family they've become. As for the Flute, I'll go with...don't accept! Not much reason, but so far I like Esther more than Sharon I guess? Unless this just makes her be forever alone, in which case that's a little sad... Outta curiosity, do you get an extended scene at some point if you do either choice? Or will you not see that until the ending?
  8. Nah I'm just behind and been busy. I just finished playing through the next chapter last night though. And by last night I mean I stayed up till 2am cause I wanted to finish it. I should have the update tonight or tomorrow unless I get really busy!
  9. Oh gosh I missed responding to a billion updates! Huh, interesting. I just always use notepad or notepad++ and copy it from there, though I never really stay logged in so that's probably a reason why. Hooray, more to look forward to! True, hadn't realized that it hadn't been a single point yet. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h5p5PvYGB4w For both of you. It's just weird seeing that portrait show up and going "Wait he's one of our guys!" Come to think of it, if you lose Sasha by this point do you get a major change to this conversation or do they just skip stuff? Unless I missed it and Sasha's plot immune. There's something I like in that this conversation happens after one that shows that Esther's already acclimated to the army, making jokes/roasts, kinda showing that she's right at home here. Seeing as it looks like Lee doesn't have any in-game conversation here, do any of the other choice units instead of him get anything here, if you know? Geez the bluntness of this man is something to behold. I like how there's both Fierce Breath and casual Breath, like she just doesn't wanna be fierce sometimes. Is it sad that when I first saw his portrait I thought he looked more playable than Norton. This game's so far doing a lot of things like this that are impressing me design wise, though I'd be annoyed at no xp but it makes sense. Bizarre, but okay then. Too bad her name's not Yulia, warrior of Yr, daughter of Yoda. Or even Juliya. Coming from the competitive side of it (SCIV was my first competitive fighter!), Yoda was actually really bad if you knew the matchup IIRC. He was short, but his movement was terrible, he had a weaker soul gauge than the rest of the cast, and got outranged hard. Course, that didn't stop someone from winning a tourney with him in Canada, but considering most tourneys banned him (and he was Xbox exclusive for a while) it's not surprising nobody would know how to fight him. And looks like I missed the voting, but ah well. I do think it's pretty cool how they handle the route-splitty bits, makes me wish Green let me pick my units on its route split. Granted, could be hard to program in a hack, but still. With the way this game's conversations work, I'm guessing there's some unique conversations for some characters on both routes? Meaning you'd have to re-play (or go read things) for all the possibilities.
  10. Update time! Also, Merry Christmas and Happy Boxing Day (I'm in Canada at the moment) to all of you! This update took a bit longer than I expected it to. There was a lot more text than I thought there'd be, I had a few original scenes I wanted to do and changed some pre-existing ones up, did some hacking for Fee, and I was slow playing the chapter. Just so you guys know, anytime there's a scene that's not quite a copy-paste from vanilla SS or it involves a character or situation not from the original game, I'm doing at least some (if not entirely) original writing for it. Sometimes I'll throw what's there in google translate to get a vague idea and that can help, but it's not always entirely helpful, or all the original author did was name change and I wanna do more. It's fun this way just a little more work, and I hope when I do end up writing things it's at least okay enough to be passable and you guys enjoy it! Also two things regarding the last few chapters: 1. I completely forgot about the Shield Ring last chapter. You know, that handy item that boosts someone's defense by 5 when holding it? Yeah, that would have been helpful in what turned out to be a quite difficult and stressful chapter. 2. Karin's movement growth! It's 2%. With that, let's move on to the beginning of Ephraim's route! We'll be with him for the next four chapters before going back to Eirika!
  11. Tis true, though I was thinking replacing a random boss or something. Still probably not worth it for him, plus SS has at least some good bosses, I actually can't think of many more throw away ones from where I'm at aside from monsters. While I don't play heroes, I do follow it a bit and have a friend who's very invested. This reminds me of how I feel about Raigh's art and how I really really dislike it and hope that they use one of the other artists if Lugh ever gets in the game. Seriously, to me, Raigh's makes him look like he's eight or something instead of thirteen. Hey things are at least going well so far...also, I feel like it's the opposite for me with my LP right now. Because I'm recording it I'm being so careful not to screw up and force a reset, which is the one downside of it not being an ironman. Especially if I lose someone late it's gonna really suck re-doing a lot of work for an update. I seriously thought on that one for a moment that Raquel had been attacked and I'd missed something. Sorry! I kind of have a problem with this in FE sometimes too, I'm just going "Oh I really like all these people lemme start using em, but wait I wanna use these other people later and now I don't have room! What do?" I just love the stache on this Morgan edit. That sounds really interesting, good way of keeping gameplay just a little more intertwined with the story. Looking forward to that chapter. I love that they have him actually realize he dun goofed in an amusing way. Do you type out your updates for the first time in actual SF or do you copy paste from somewhere (I typically do from either notepad or notepad++). Can the player ever make good use of these? Or is it like how ballistas are in some FE games where by the time you can get to them they're practically useless? That's really interesting, but I feel like I'd have mixed feelings on it. Does it feel like more of a penalty if you don't attack in this way, or more of just extra reward/higher than the norm if you do? Poor Tom, talks about not liking the tank and he's stuck in it forever. Wonder how miserable he is at the end of the war, or if he just ends up loving it so much he never leaves? This isn't another weird Pirates vs Corsairs thing like from FE7 is it? Looking forward to that. I've always been a sucker for magic stuff, especially elemental magic stuff. Those are some good promotion bonuses! Beautiful Now you know how I feel? Oh you should be a little leenient, I'm sure if he seriouslee tried he could easilee come up with some leegitimately better puns. I'll...I'll just leave now. Forever. ...
  12. I mean I liked the clone reveal and that was quite a ways after what got me the worst in that LP (which I need no reminders of please), I'd just straight forgotten Martel was the name of the one. Clearly this just means I need to hack Martel somewhere into green... I'll keep that in mind if I ever play again! Yeah I'm asking for trouble. Had to look this one up! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OkkXCdxD24g Ooh movement growth! Didn't think that was gonna be a thing in this game. Is she the only one with one or does anybody else in the game get it? For some reason when I saw this image, I thought the axe was spinning like a chain saw or something. I do really like the weapon trails on these animations. Sweeeet! Yeah the arrow looks like it's flying towards Raquel, not away from her. I feel like you just have to use him now. So how much fun was it trash talking his outfit to those of us new to this who didn't know he was playable? I'd pay for that. So does Sasha get promotion bonuses coming out of her trainee class?
  13. Figured it was one of them but I couldn't remember for sure. I guess I did sometimes? This does bring to mind if he's just following Sasha around this entire battle. How much joy did this realization bring you? I just want a show now with Sasha and Eugen going around selling stuff, with Eugen always acting like he's never heard of it before. Sometimes he's just hiding in the nearby bushes and will pop out to say "Oh, that sounds interesting! Do tell me more about (insert x product)." I really like how her gameplay works, that's very creative for this series and I'm glad you're using her cause I would have totally gone "You should use her too!" Though if I keep asking you to use people one of them is bound to die eventually... Sue's brother still kinda gets me. This is just reminding me of the infamous FF7 typos like "This guy are sick." and "Beacause you are a puppet." Also please use him and refer to him as such for the rest of forever. At least that would make more sense than some Resident Evil games such as 5. You can pick up an herb (that looks like a potted plant) and it somehow is converted into a spray form you just spray on yourself or in your partner's general area and they're healed! And apparently if you're playing with an AI partner they can yell at you that they need an herb (or whatever is it is that Sheva calls it) for just the smallest smidgen of missing health. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6_hshOytg_M Also what even is Maruj's battle animation?
  14. Yeah I'd just named my personal character for the longest time that, indeed after FE Jeigan, and again it kind of became what I was known by even when I stopped playing the character. Still, I may give it a try at some point since I have to write it out anyways. Does it take forever to load stuff on mine outta curiosity? That's fair, though even when I've been less involved in playing competitively myself, I still enjoy keeping track of things and watching tournaments. Hoping this game proves at least halfway balanced so that there's good character variety. I mean Bors and probably Elinicia are my MVPs so far so I kinda feel ya? Is it sad that the last part actually brings to mind a character from an anime who lived for a time without a heart beat? That's really fun to say with no context. Yuuki Yuuna is a Hero is a good show though, and pretty short! I can recommend if you're ever looking for a random anime to watch. Hooray! Though don't let me pick the whole team now, let some others get in some input! I kinda like that. FE Green actually does this one time, but it's during a sort of optional chapter anyway (you can basically re-do Chapter 15). I also like this, though granted I feel like you don't see that many chapters in FE that take place in the same place to get you something like this. Keep it up Garo! Reminding me briefly of PoR, and having so many Mend staves, and later Physics, just cause of stealing them. Ooh he has green hair, send him my way with those levels, he'll fit right in! I say again, I love him for this. Haha...ha...ha...ha. He's seriously the best, I need him in more games. I'm missing the reference here. Also, the name Martel takes me more to Tales of Symphonia. Overall I really like the extra conversations they're giving people so far as well. Definitely interesting seeing this game so far, looking forward to seeing more of the cast!
  15. Two updates! I've doomed him, haven't I? Also I appreciate you spelling it Jeigan. Fun fact, my main character in WoW for a long time when I played it, and what I became known by in my long time guild even after switching characters, was in fact Jeigan. It's really weird realizing I can read the word Jeigan and part of me thinks it might refer to me... If I was smart I'd do this on my own LP. It'd also save me the time it takes to do the little bit of coding the text into the game after deleting the Japanese text... I'm really excited for Ultimate as well, though I won't be getting it myself till around Christmas. I'll get to play it at a friend's place hopefully soon though. How much into competitive smash are you, if at all? I played for a little while in 4 (mained Dark Pit/Zelda, and I've played neither KIU or any Zelda game!), and I'm hoping to get into it again at least a bit when Ultimate hits. Although my main competitive game will probably stay as Soul Calibur VI, seeing that they finally brought Seong Mi-Na back who's my favorite fighting game character. Sort of played the character since I was like...8? button mashing on Soul Blade on PS1 cause I liked the person with the polearm! After the boss from last chapter I'm not sure anymore. That's...actually the line? Yeah I like this guy too. I dunno what this game is doing anymore. They make some enemies look like last chapter's first boss, and then there's this guy and the Chancellor's...Chancellorness. It's a little jarring seeing something like that by Chapter 2. I mean I guess some of the games do stuff like that, but I feel like not in just a character conversation between non-lords like that. Aww thanks! And hey you're trying to keep him alive, that counts for something! Well, it does for now. That just seems awfully...pointless? Feels like it's just thrown in RNG for the heck of it. Should I feel bad I wanted to respond with some variant of "Weird flex but okay"? Also so far happy with Lee and Garo! I love him. I could kinda read it as either that, or that he knows it just wouldn't do good here for her that and that she needs to see and experience more. Hey Roger's a cool name it's not like it's my middle name or anything noooo.... I wish FE did this more. I mean, you could replace him...
  16. Uh oh. Let's hope I won't regret this! That's uh...something there... You're not crazy (at least for thinking that), it looks like that to me too. He almost looks like he could be a playable character, more than most first FE bosses anyways. Getting a pirate of any sort as a joining party member is a nice departure from the norm, I approve! You should totally use him! Also, did you explain what mastery does or did I miss it? I appreciate the details you're going into for explaining everything mechanics wise cause man it kinda seems like a lot. And yeah, man there's a lot of text. Hopefully next time I do my first read through at my laptop so I can start quoting more as I'm going cause I'd really rather not do that on my phone. As for the vote (if it's not too late) I vote for Lee! As a kid I would always pick spellcasters and mages for any sort of choice in fantasy games, and he seems cool enough. Plus I really want him to get RNG blessed in...something. Anything.
  17. Alright, let's get on with the update then! This chapter's pretty easy, but I'm grateful for it as a breather between Chapter 8 and 10-Eirika, that's gonna be fun next time. Also, on things I was planning to add in, I did realize Fee doesn't actually have unique growths, but just Tana's. So if I do go about adding her I'll have to figure out if I wanna change em or just leave them as they are. Or do my original plan and replace Fiora with her... Again, I'm sorry for the super long wait! I definitely won't be updating as often as I did at the start of the LP (especially since I'm making English things now), but I'll be doing my best to keep going here. Hopefully the game eventually forgives me and lets me get level ups I want again! Thanks again for reading everyone, as always you're all great!
  18. Ooh! I know literally nothing of this game so this should be interesting. Also, probably a good thing for me so that this way I'm not attached to anyone (yet). So mechanics wise, how close is it to FE? Near identical, or a bit more different than that?
  19. Hey guys! Not quite the update yet, but popping in just to say I'm not dead and I'm now finally coming back around and starting to work on this. I'm really sorry for such a long wait (and the fact that it'll be just a little bit longer...). The last few months have just been really rough on my family and I, not to mention busy, though I'm hoping life will finally be letting up a little bit here soon. Still, I'm finally started to work on this again and I'm hoping that once I get back in the swing of it I'll be able to update somewhat more regularly again. I'm planning for next chapter to be up by the end of next weekend at the very latest, but hopefully sooner! Until then, thanks for the patience, and I'm looking forward to getting back into this.
  20. Hey guys, just popping in with a quick status update. Unfortunately, no chapter 9 yet, so here to say it might be a bit more delayed. In addition to new job and stuff being busy, there's also been a lot of personal stuff going on lately, including a death in the family this past weekend, so it's been hard finding time/motivation. Definitely still wanna get it out when I can, just might take a little bit longer and wanted to keep you guys posted. As usual, I super appreciate all the replies so far, y'all are awesome.
  21. Apologies for the long delay, just been busier and didn't get as much done over the weekend as I wanted! As I mentioned before, this update's kind of just plot interlude stuff, both original SS stuff and my own scenes I've inserted to experiment with how that works and how you guys like it. I'm hoping Chapter 9 won't take me too long, but I've been busy and starting a new job lately. Still, I'll do my best to get it out sooner rather than later! As with last time, I hope you enjoy the original stuff I've thrown in here, though there's a bit of mostly SS text to go through first. With that, let's start off with some Lyon flashbacks! These I haven't changed up, but figured I may as well throw em in. Most of the fully original stuff is towards the second half/end. So there's the update! Like I said, I'll try to have Chapter 9-Eirika out as soon as I can and get back to the gameplay. Please let me know if you guys liked what was here though and if you'd wanna see more like this as I go on! One last thing. I'm a little unsure since this is still somewhat showcasing the game itself, but I'm considering doing a few hacks that would actually affect the gameplay. Mostly just these: 1. Hacking Fee into the party and not over someone, probably at the start of Ephraim route. She's got enough data (unique growths/bases, supports, etc.) that I'm pretty convinced she was originally intended to be playable, and it just seems weird she's not. 2. Giving a few characters a few more support options, mostly those who only have 1-2. Mostly just thinking of a few like Bors/Wolt and maybe throwing in another one or two for Lotsin who can only support Rebecca and Dieck if I'm remembering right. 3. Giving Nino a promotion option to let her go Druid. She actually had a custom made palette for it in the data in this game that isn't just Ewan's, so I think it was intended at one point before they changed her Pupil options to Mage and Troubadour. I'd be fine doing something like Valkyrie with her though too and I wouldn't need to change anything. If you guys wanna see that stuff let me know, or if you'd just prefer I stick to how the gameplay actually is in the hack, which I could understand. Either way, thanks for reading/replying and I really hope you enjoy this interlude-y update!
  22. So, I've got a bit of an announcement regarding this. I've finally figured out how to get text editing working with the Midori ROM in FEBuilder, and so I can actually type English things in without it being a huge hassle! While it normally works easily in an english FE7 or 8, or in a translated 6, the Midori ROM is FE8J based and so it took me way, way too long (and some asking around) to figure out how to get it working properly. And then of course when I was finally ready Imgur decided to be dumb, so that's all why this update took so long. With that, consider some of this update an experiment to see how both inserting in regular SS text and inserting my own probably bad plot bits and writing work out! Please let me know what you guys think, and if you wanna see more! I'm still considering how much of the completely unchanged bits of the game (such as the numerous Lyon flashbacks) I wanna put in if most people have seen those before, since it takes a bit of extra work. I might just skim/summarize those bits still if people are okay with it, we'll see! In other good news, I've got a new job I'll be starting in a little over a week! That's another reason I'll have to see how much time I have to do story-related stuff. Though since we're jumping into this midway through the "plot", I should let you know I'm going to consider the whole situation with crossover characters as sort of the typical characters getting pulled in from various timelines/universes, and that it's been going on for a few years at least, so that's how some people are in service to various kingdoms, or I guess running one if you're Erinys. Hadn't put too much thought into that whole point yet, probably just something demon king related. I also like to think most of them are getting pulled in post-war from their own game, unless it's people who are presumably dead like Alec/Arden. Alrighty, here's the chapter! Brace yourselves... So, one thing I need to point out about this hack is how the route split works. You actually play both routes! What they have you do is alternate every few chapters, I believe it's in the order of: 9-10 Eirika, 9-12 Ephraim, 11-14 Eirika, 13-14 Ephraim, then reuniting in 15. Your army is actually split for this in a predetermined selection. Eirika Side Eirika Sothe Lance Bors Vanessa Lotsin Wolt Raigh Elincia Safy Guy Sain Ephraim Side Ephraim Kyle Alec Arden Lugh Nephenee Rebecca Karin joins at the start of 9 for Eirika, and Cecilia and Lowen join at the start for Ephraim. With this in mind, I have a few ideas for some conversations I imagine taking place between a few characters as they're parting ways, so the next update might be more of a brief story interlude where I'll experiment with that and see how you guys like the idea of occasional extra conversations. I haven't fully decided if I wanna go through with it yet though, we'll see! For now, thanks for reading/replying and let me know how this all turned out! EDIT: I forgot one image/line in the post chapter plot bits, added it in.
  23. So, first off I must inform you all that I've suffered another reset! I'm not going to go through every bit of that, but I figured I could show off all the level ups that will be missed out on now thanks to me being dumb and getting Eirika killed! With that out of the way, I also forgot to mention everyone's movement growths like I said I would, so here's those! Eirika: 3% Sothe: 4% Lance: 1% Bors: 2% Lotsin: 2% Vanessa: 4% Wolt: 2% Rebecca: 2% Lugh: 2% Raigh: 3% Nephenee: 2% Elincia: 1% Safy: 1% Guy: 3% Okay, now, on to Chapter 7, take two!
