Ok, the Chapter 9 clear in 3 turns is good. But it's really important for you to change the title of this thread as it's misleading to say it's a genuine LTC run on console with no tools. You casually get +4 mag talk bonuses for Felicia as if it's an easy thing to do, use bonus items, RNG abuse things with "around" 1/70000 chance of success which is pretty horrific, and casually rig My Castle conversations for support points (what supports are you going for? Niles x Camilla would take several years on console). None of these things would help with an LTC run on console apart from bonus items, and using Felicia with Disrobing Gale requires RNG abuse anyway. So yes, while you did a good job on this clear, and feel free to play as you want, but I honestly think that clearing Chapter 9 without all these things in more turns is much harder, since you rig misses and use bonus items and rig support points and get talk bonuses as you need them.

Basically no one thinks Takumi is high tier. Although yes he is excellent on the player phase, most enemy combat generally takes place during the enemy phase, in which he is completely useless. It's important for units to be able to fight during the enemy phase too. So Takumi would be mid tier at the very best.

Someone on Reddit beat Lunatic Conquest in 93 turns: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLZ8w77MvvLwoKwfVZOKKQme2fjiTLidtZ The strategies in general are pretty amazing, but 19 and 26 just blow my mind.

The difference is that you can get Renown points by playing though the game normally (no normal person LTCs a game on their first playthrough of the game). It takes no extra time at all to have enough Renown points for the Second Seal, does it? After doing a casual playthrough of Awakening, you can go ahead and do an LTC run with enough Renown points. But you need internet access and a lot of free time to get Battle/Visitor points, which is contrary to the purpose of an LTC run.

I think there's a difference. Grinding Avatar supports is easy to do in real life and only would take like a week for S rank. Grinding Niles x Camilla would take several years in real life. I really don't see why he just doesn't allow path bonuses, DLC grinding and such. He should do it.

Have you even bothered to read the thread? I was referencing the thread, not Reddit. Indeed.

That's also illegitimate since you're allowing visitor bonuses (or getting Disrobing Gale via My Castle convos which is also not allowed, it's not replicable). Can't you get a Boots and a Rescue staff via visitor/battle bonuses? Here's a video of it from someone who posts LTC vids on Reddit. Chapter 12 seems easy to do in 2 turns actually, but let's see if you legitimately did Chapter 11 in 2 turns. That would be interesting.

It was mostly people agreeing that your run wasn't legitimate.

You are right, but from what I have seen on Reddit from Gwimpage and Chiki, in Fates LTCs My Castle battles are banned and DLC battles are banned too. So the only way to do this on console would be to wait for several years. Not even joking. So this is illegitimate and practically impossible on console. Suppose you can do it once every 50 attempts you reset. Camilla x Niles needs 15 conversations if it's 1 point per conversation (I guess they gain points in 11 and 12 too, but ignoring this for now) then it would take 50 x 15 = 750 days, or over 2 years. LOL This is just cheating.

That's not legitimate. That would take years to do on console. At least the Jakob x Avatar S support in Chapter 7 takes a week or so in real life. Just because it's possible doesn't mean it's legitimate, and you seem surprisingly comfortable with hacking things. And I don't see how you were able to 2 turn 11 and 12. MoogleBoss got 3 turns for 11 and 12 with bonus movement:

Is there any way to make the patch not expand the ROM? The 6 MB version of the patched rom didn't work on my PSP either.

How did you get Niles to marry Camilla in time for that?

The legitimate way to use My Castle by building support points is to wait several days. You can't just do DLC maps or edit some hexes to get My Castle conversations which is probably what you did given that you said you tested it out after only 2 days! It takes days to test it out, so obviously you did something wrong. It would at least take 2 weeks to marry Corrin and Jakob if you had an average of one conversation a day. A couple months ago, I waited a week (I did not visit anyone or do any DLC maps) to get Hinoka and Corrin from B to A support. I was curious about the mechanics as well. I was on Chapter 13 or something. I got Hinoka from C to B in one conversation in the 13 base. It takes 4 more points for A. I managed to get them around a conversation a day on average, so seven conversations after they got B support. Their level did not increase despite my getting more conversations than needed. Then I did a DLC map, and it worked. As far as I know, doing DLC maps and visiting other people's castles and battling them would be against the rules of Fates LTCs. Did you use DLC maps/visit other people's castles and battle them? That would explain why it seems there is no cap.

Um no, lol. You don't understand my argument. In Awakening, you HAVE TO script run the whole map at once because the RNs in Awakening stay the same if you bookmark. You CANNOT change the RN of a map by making a bookmark and reloading it. You HAVE TO script run the whole map at once. The automated resetting tool you describe would work for Radiant Dawn, which you have already attempted to do, though. Why? Because the RNs of the map do change when you make a suspend state and reload the map. But this is impossible with Awakening, because you cannot use your automated resetting tool on a bookmark. You'd get the same results over and over again with your automated resetting tool because every bookmark has the same RNs upon loading! Therefore, we can infer that you are lying about the automated resetting tool. There is no such thing. I am surprised KTT hasn't pointed this out given that he has more knowledge than probably anyone in the world about Awakening's mechanics, but w/e. Further, you refuse to give me a printscreen of your tool, which makes it even more obvious that you're lying. Your run is not only illegimate as a proper LTC run because it uses tools to begin with, but it's also even more illegitimate since you won't tell us what tools you are actually using. My guess is you use the Awakening save editor to hack your unit's stats to make RNG abusing a lot easier. Given your previous history of lying (I looked into this), and the ease with which you can get 1/100000 clears, I'm surprised anyone takes any of your runs seriously at this point.

How about showing us a printscreen of your tool in use? Then we could get a better idea of how it works. Bookmarks would only help you if RNs changed every bookmark. They don't. They remain the same every time you load the map. Funnily enough, no one knows how to burn RNs in Awakening. I just googled this: http://serenesforest.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=49848 So, literally, bookmarking is worthless for the tool you mentioned which has "automated resetting." If you keep resetting a bookmark that's not going to help you because each bookmark in Awakening has the same RNs. Unlike in Radiant Dawn. I highly doubt that you would know how the RN system in Awakening works for bookmark abuse given that no one else has ever figured it out and AFAIK you have never played this game prior to this run. Tl;dr bookmarking in Awakening keeps the same RNs so you cannot use your "automated resetting tool" for it.
