Halberdiers. I'd like to see actual Rangers/Horseman make a return, none of this "Bow Knight" crap.

Haha, exactly, and he will even serve the same role here (first prepromoted recruit). I even planned ahead when naming him Jarod in Wahart!FE9 for that very reason! Update: The end chapter code still isn't cooperating. I could chapter warp to chapter 5, but then I would miss recruiting Pain and Agony which is unacceptable. I'm sure I'll figure it out eventually, but like I said it might take a while.

Update for another RAM dump: https://www.dropbox.com/s/gox7bnrf1jna8j2/aram4.raw https://www.dropbox.com/s/g7xqisnv5rl4y60/ram4.raw For some reason the value of 003CAFFC is 00010000 or something like that. I would just use the chapter warp code to skip to the next chapter, except I would not get the enemy recruits I wanted from this chapter, so that isn't really an option.

Yeah I am so screwed for 1-E. I'm gonna grab Jarod from 1-8 so I can get him one chapter earlier to help out on 1-E. Still, though, it'll be pretty hard without BK.

Yeah, I thought of that. The only thing is since ROM hacking in items would be a pain (I'm not sure if I would even be able to use the savestate I have now if I change the ISO a bit, not to mention transferring files between my computer and VM to edit and reparse the ISO is like a 2-3 hour ordeal), I would have to resort to RAM hacking, which would require me to bug SoC again and I don't want to do that since he's a pretty busy guy and he's already helped me with a TON of stuff (besides, he already walked me through the process of trying to find character data in the RAM and it sounds almost impossible). I could always try using one of the Gecko codes (at least for reference to find a character's address) to hack in a couple scrolls, but I'm having enough issues with codes as it is and I'm not too hopeful that that would work anyway. So yeah, I'll give it a shot in a while, but right now getting the chapter end code to work again is my priority. After that, I'll try adding in scrolls using at least the RAM method (and possibly the ROM method depending on how much time I have), but if those don't work I'll have to decide between keeping future characters alive long enough to nab their scrolls (won't be able to get Sothe's guard and renewal or whatever meg has this way) or just keeping the rule the way it is now with skills banned. TL;DR: It's a possibility and I'll try a couple things that come to mind, but I wouldn't get my hopes up.

I would agree, except I have been trying to kill off/avoid recruiting a good percentage of the normal cast. This is mainly to avoid running out of space, and also to avoid units being forced (for instance I made sure I never recruited Sothe so he wasn't forced on a ton of chapters). This means that I don't get access to their skills. Now, I could go out of my way from now on to recruit and not kill the normal units without too many repercussions (I still couldn't justify ignoring recruitable enemies, but I could get around that with editing shenanigans), but in some cases it might not be worth it. Furthermore, because I couldn't let Sothe join in order to fit all my characters in 1-3, I already missed out on the Guard scroll. I also managed to miss Meg and her skill for some weird (possibly hacking-related) reason. It's not a huge deal, but why bother getting skills from some playable characters if you can't utilize all of their skills? I haven't decided for certain what to do, yet, but this is the reason why I considered making this rule.

Second one.

Pretty much this. The gimmicky characters are either a net positive or a net negative, and Stahl being neutral automatically makes him a better character than all of the latter. He's not my favorite (and I'd be surprised if he was anyone's favorite really), but he isn't my least favorite either (Likewise, I doubt many people really hate Stahl).

It is, but it still reduces the amount of neither votes.

I didn't buy an N64 until long after the game was out, making it look primitive (no pun intended) compared to what I was used to. Not to mention I'm not generally a fan of that type of game to begin with. But yeah, I'll admit, I don't generally play bad games.

Chapter 4 has been uploaded. I still haven't fixed the end chapter code so like I said, it might be a while before I start chapter 5.

That's because shadykid killed most of the neither votes with this:

I've got another life-altering spoiler for ya: WHOA!!!! Didn't see that coming!

I'd hardly say espinosa is the one "saying BS". More like everyone who has started one of these topics (especially that Dozla guy) is spouting the BS.

The first time I saw this posted was my Awakening-related WTF moment: Also the 0% crits in the Walhart fight, but that's not nearly as WTF.

^this Sol is great and Armsthrift is a nice secondary skill to get right off the bat. The skills are mostly for lategame and postgame (since Gregor's Luck issues mean Armsthrift won't be doing much on him at least), and Sol is especially useful if you've neglected to train a nosferatank and want to clear a map easily and with little thought on difficulties other than Luna+.

That wasn't me whining about Maribelle. This was me whining about Maribelle:

This, if only because Maribelle needs to die (the one thing Gangrel almost did that I support). Also I'm shocked at Gaius beating Owain.

Sure, I really wanted to do this anyway since I love RD's battle models, but I was afraid people would prefer no animations due to the time preferences from last time. However, I suppose getting a look at everyone at least once wouldn't be too bad. I might even make a couple videos with long and short versions with and without animations respectively at some point. Unfortunately, I probably won't be able to show Burton as a Cavalier since Chapter 4 is already recorded (8 turns) and SPOILER ALERT: he promotes during that chapter. Update: As I said, chapter 4 is completed and will be uploaded either late tonight or midday tomorrow. However, I've run into some technical problems with a certain code, so it might be a little while before I start chapter 5.

A good point. I personally am of the opinion that there should be two separate "tier lists" for LTC/efficiency as opposed to general usefulness. Although, not many people seem to share this opinion.

at least now we know walmart employees aren't terrible people then. Walmart sux, go to Walhart instead.
