N.G

As some of you may know, I created this account back in 2012, and with it, an FE 12 playthrough entitled "Once Upon a Time" that chronicled all sorts of shenanigans, including a recolored cast, and a special guest appearance by Celice from Genealogy of the Holy War after I created a poll for a character to replace our beloved Jalepeno Knight, Abel. Unfortunately, the topic dropped off the face of the Earth for a very long time. Life issues got in the way, I moved house twice, and heart surgery. Worst of all, I lost all of the files for the remaining chapters of my FE 12-- so there was no way I could properly finish the run. Now that I'm alive again, and have the universal Fire Emblem randomizer running appropriately on my computer, I thought it'd be a good idea to crack open another nut. Unfortunately, I don't know where to start first. Since I have three games at my disposal (one I've played thrice, and the other two I haven't even done vanilla runs on), and the randomizer, I'm more than willing to dive into the deep end and give them a try. I've done Pokemon randomizer runs before, so this should be just a fun-- maybe even more challenging. I made a poll, so the rest is up to you. Have fun voting, and I'll see you when I have a decent badge set made for the future run topic.

I'll see if I can hunt it down. If I managed to edit anything at default, I probably wouldn't have made the topic in the first place. So I was shocked when I gave everyone's natural growths on Serenes' Genealogy page a once over and found that a lot of them were screwed over. Thanks for the advice. Edit: Nevermind, you were right about the type of ROM. I found an .smc ROM and everything seems to be back in order.

It's a weird return topic, but just bear with me. (And if this is in the wrong section, please move it elsewhere) Just zoom in on the image to check everything out. You can click on it to blow it up. http://suicunerider.tumblr.com/image/142324415187 To quote myself: I posted about it on my tumblr, but it seems like I'm not getting any leads there, even through a friend of mine who runs a primarily Jugdral focused blog. And the main Fire Emblem tag just swallows it up in a sea of Fates posts. If it's doing this with a clean Genealogy ROM, I'm absolutely stumped. Is there any way that I can fix all of this? Has this happened to anyone else running Genealogy on Nightmare, too?

Thank you for all the warm welcomes, everyone! It's great being back on Serenes, and I hope I'll be a bit more productive this time than I was when I was last here, especially now that college is off my shoulders and there's a cool down period in my life right now.

Hey~ How long has it been, guys? Three years, I think? Four? I can't remember. I think i dropped off the face of the Earth halfway through my custom FE 12 run-- just around time time Awakening was going to be released worldwide. A lot's happened since I was last here. I moved house twice, got heart surgery, college hit me like a bus, and I never got my degree. So that kind of sucked. But, I'm alive, thank god. So that's a thing. So, for anyone who hasn't talked to me, or has joined Serenes during the three or so years I was in the void, hi. You can call me NG. I love me some Genealogy, and i'm a massive Pokemon fan. I'm just a dork trying to find her place in the world, and I live to make people happy. I hope to make more friends, too. So I'll probably start posting when I can... maybe do some art, and a couple more LPs. We'll see where the wind takes me, as well as life.

So I've decided to start playing Awakening for the second time, and I want to marry Nah for an OP Manakete!Morgan. Depending on who her father is, does Nah's scale "color" pass down to Morgan? (For example, if Nah's father is Gaia, will Morgan's body color be a mixture of orange and the typical Manakete seaweed color?) Or will she inherit Nah's hot pink scales? This isn't anything serious. Just curiosity got to me. Also, what's my best bet at a Wall!Nah!Morgan if we're still talking about genes? A sweeper as well if I want varying options?

Nothing fancy. Just playing around with sheet music and doing cheap celesta compositions. And congratulations to you. That just means less work.

Thanks for the offer, but I think I'm okay with what I have. No worries. I guess what I was trying to get at was that the trial version of WIDI Pro can do everything its paid for counterpart can, minus being able to save by itself beyond the ten second mark (and frankly, I know nobody wants that). That's why I threw in Audacity for recording and saving the finished midi as an mp3. You can download all versions of WIDI online, and through a bit of experimentation, I think 4.1 Pro is the most stable out of all of them so far. So yeah. does it cost money for the full thing (that isn't much more)? Yes. Does the "trial" still do the job with one extremely tiny drawback that can be easily fixed? Yes.

I use WIDI 4.1 Professional for all of my stuff. Unfortunately, you have to pay for the full version in order to save midis as they are. The trial version still does its job, though, and it never expires. (which is probably why I record the finished products with audacity before saving them but...)

So have the same clean rom as my first run. Got the updated patch.. aaaaand.. the bonus content isn't showing up. There any way I can fix this little bug?

I went to go check my FE 12 rom to see if I had any new bonuses in, but for some reason, E.C stopped updating. The "internal clock" on my computer works just fine, and I can clock abuse by the minute. Yet... for some strange reason, this one section of the preperations screen doesn't want to budge. It always gives me 100% 0-hour quotes from characters and nothing else indicating that even a minute of time has passed. Not even stat boosts. Has anyone else encoutered something like this? Can I fix it?

Doing this for my FE 12 redo run, and I wanna reclass my MU to help her growths. She's currently a Cavalier running a growth combination of Orphan, Beautiful and Humanitarian. That said, what class would be beneficial for her to run before level 20 and should I switch back and forth between the new class and Cavalier? Would a third option be good too? If so, what? Edit: Should I throw the M. Drop on her as well (even though I can't seem to find my bonus items in the new patch for some reason)? Or save it for someone else?

UPDATE: Due to certain circumstances in early game, I'm, unfortunately, going to have to restart. But this time as a Cavalier (just like last run) with my Peg. Knight growths. I didn't realize I'd be dealing with so many archers during the prologues, and looking back now, I made a terrible choice. Expect a redo of prologue 1 soon. :/ - Your bagel, NG.

Welcome to the world of Pokemon! .. Oh wait. wrong game. (OUTDATED MU CREATION) Oh ho, game. You so silly I swear. hahaha... FUCK CASUAL. Here we go again. Going winged this time. Fits P.B better. Ah yes. The.. queen of snark without her distinctive pallet. we're going to have to fix that. She really is the RNG Goddess if she can do all that. All hail Anna! We're not worthy of your unfair enemy crits and 13 percents! She is the Batman. The only Batman, and nothing but the Batman. That starving body! DEM SCARS. DAT PTSD. Silver is clearly the poster woman for bootyfulness in Akaneia. *GASP* I GET TO BE A MEAT PUPPET WHEN I GROW UP? yay. c: MYUNIT COMPLETE.

Same as the first LP. Just cleaned up and revived with our MU not being an emotionless stick in the mud. The first one died because life, college and my time in the hospital got to me, so I didn't have time to update properly. Plus, the first translation patch is outdated now that it's been completed and released, so i'd like to use the new one to my advantage. Does this make sense?

So you voted, and here it is~ Once Upon a Time is getting a new coat of paint. Same rules apply as last time. Everyone that died in my first run of Shadow Dragon stays dead, levels may be doctored according to time and the "New character" stays for variety. Silver's personality is getting a major upgrade from MyUnit's rather.. interesting personality *read: lack there of* which means her dialogue will be changed according to HER personality and the way she interacts with the cast around her. None of this "Oh my grandpa raised me after my parents died, but he was kind of a dick to me but I wanna be a knight, oh i'm also a sue" bullshit. Expect new expressions for her pallet. That said what do you think guys? What're you looking forward to in the new run? What do you wanna see? Anything I can change up to your liking? I'd love your opinions! (that being said, directory and prologue 1 will be up next post.)

Just as the title says. Got the new translation patch up and running on Desmume, and I thought, "You know what? Once Upon a Time fell off the face of the Earth and died months ago". So now that the new translation patch is up, I figured I'd go ahead and redo the run. (More oppurtunities for snark, amirite? ) SO! That said, it's up to you, my lovely, lovely babbus to decide for yourselves. Do you want me to completely redo Once Upon a Time from scratch? Do you want new pallets? New emotions for Silver (Because FE 12 MU is blander than toast. Need more life.)? New MU dialogue? It's all easy and fun for me to do. Now that summer's hear, I need a new project. Vote away~ - Your bagel in hiding, NG.

So I got into recruiting and training that Lv. 20 Hero Gaiden!Alm you can get from your Bonus Box, and I have to say, I'm having a lot of fun doing it. But I'm still unsure as to what sorts of ideal skill combos i can use on him if he's going to be paired with my *invincible* Lodestar Marth during my Bloodline Endgame run. So far I've had him on Demon Fighter for some beta training and Aggressor (thing soaks up EXP like crazy, and it's fun having 99 HP when it's maxed out and breaks). Then I put him on Tactician to keep the EXP training going with Veteran, and then Grandmaster to complete the set. I have him on Warrior now and am waiting for Counter to appear, just as I did with Marth before scrapping it for Defender. So.. any suggestions from those using the B.Box or DLC units?

Happy birthday, Chambray! I should really use you more often. Doubling and killing literally anything with a single S support with Noire and 47 Attack...Thanks for the Micaiah's Pyre!

Can I just say that I never liked the Manakete design for FE 13? It looks like the user got covered from head to toe in seaweed and ate a ridiculous amount of glowsticks. (Lugia!Fa in FE 6 isn't any better, but still). Same goes for the Cavs and their toilet bowl neck armor, as well as the overall designs of Armors and Generals. What.. the fuck are those things? Probably why I was disappointed when I got the BK in my spotpass roster. Looks awful. I'd have to say my personal favorites on the other hand are the War Cleric and Swordmaster classes. I love the flaring at the ends of the Swordsmaster's coats, and the little touch-ups to the clerics are really nice. I like the fact that everyone gets their own dress design to an extent and isn't just a slapped copy-paste Liz reuse.

Update: This one isn't really anything special, but I was wondering if you'd all like to use some more realistic backgrounds? I made this one on my own, so FE had no part in helping other than being my base. This is a support/ base conversation background, but I can do others, including battle backgrounds.

You don't know how difficult it is to make these though! I have to go through five long minutes of labor just to pop these out one after the other. FIVE MINUTES. My hand is cramping! My hand.is.cramping! updating topic later~

*adds gimp snow brushes to existing backgrounds* *automatic michaelangelo piece* Seems legit. <3

I couldn't help but smile at Elibian Nights (this is it, right?) being mentioned my little drain pipe topic. If you're asking for certain backgrounds, I'd be more than happy to help with anything you need to accomplish. Gimp is my partner in crime, after all. Just PM me for any ideas you have, and I'll see what I can slap together. (*These were actually going to be put into FE 6: Fire and Ice, but since I can't hack to save my skin, well....)
