Punished Dayni

We're Sail-ling, we're float-ing, There's not an Isle in the ocean that we can't reach Darros cares not for your probabilities, he will smash his way through. I don't think BinB complainers (as an occasional one myself) have a leg to stand on there when there's no Bishop's Ring before Chapter 19 in SDatBoL. He's still too early He won't be if those growths pan out, though he might want a dracoshield.

Silly me indeed. All according to Kaga. 10 Def Caeda is certainly not the number I'd have been expecting.

Roshe, hero of RNG subversion. Well, looks like Rickard will be staying benchbound. 😞 I will inconvenience the player on purpose.png

Oh good grief. Julian once again griefing the enemy. Caeda as an exception is funny to me.

Lena's one of my favourites from Archanea and should have been allowed kill Gharnef in MotEII/NMotE Just because she's a favourite doesn't mean I have to be pushing her for this. No bother. Speaking of, it might be worth giving the Seraph robe to Rickard instead, he never gets recognised. You're not wrong, the Vulnerarwrys is a sad thing.

Still cool to see the arguments for that too. All good observations, RIP Boah I guess. RIP Roches. Also a fair point, the SM doesn't do well in SD at all, so it doesn't help him out either. And this is why we're pushing them. I'll say the boring option of Julian, just because I expect Marth to get levels and HP. Also I like best cleric and her boy toy. The bad cav relay is set. Glorious. The purple spikes are so because they're really red units in disguise on the blue Jeigan.

It's a Wrysk I think we're willing to take. RNG bases: Kaga did it first. It has been a long time since I played, so I can't say much on that. I wonder what led to that decision. Great, an answer the other way around. Could Roshea benefit from focusing on SM or is this a bridge too far?

Huh, I'm surprised there's a thief there. That's unique to this game right? I don't recall one elsewhere. Really swashing then buckling the enemy there. That thus far says it all. (Off topic, who's the worst cav in SD with reclassing?) We should Wreflect on our abuse of Wrys word, try to use the proper name and not Riff so much on it. I'd expect nothing else. Wendell is funny in how good he is, for being a old man in this series showing up early. Wendell is rapid. (Also, as an aside, pretty much none of the FE sites have recruited allies' Luck bases uploaded, just a blank. I have no idea why none of them bothered to alter it after SDatBoL came out. FE Wikia is the only one I found it on! and even then it only gives it for some and says it varies for others? What the hell's going on?)

Wryf-ing on your intentions. Oh no, that sounds unfortunate.

All I say to that is hope I get lucky, Eevee is 5% and I've gotten that once already. Bronzong was more pain in the ass wall than busted, but sure. RIP we never knew ye. Jeez, Nincada would have had immunity.... or Shedinja to all but the Voltorb Remembers his Pelipper being crucial in a run of Ruby Certainly if he can't use it well. And he could have Drizzle! I couldn't. Wait he has a first name? For all I know, my electric gym could be fatal it's shocking how low of a chance Geodude is in Granite Cave, but Lightning Rod Electrike would at least block Volt Switch (But then again how much damage would it be capable of?), Couple of other maybes on 110..... Ugh. Emerald's gym would have been worse in power, but that Magneton's no fun. Wait, we're at the checkpoints? Oh, okay.

Ah yeah. Multiplying the hit rates tells me it was a bit over 55% chance that both hit, but I could be completely wrong on it being True Hit. It's funny that Dunsparce is kinda prolific in Unova of all places. Had to account for it not giving happiness at 200, so still needed some running about. Intimidate, which might be better overall because while Flash Fire boosts Fire Type damage, I can't think of any major examples of non-fire types using Fire type moves in this version- Remembers the box legendary Oh no. Considering it lost both, I'd argue slight nerf with how useful Fairy is offensively (though imo Grass could have used it more /s). It really stung the Steel/Psychics; Metagross (being harmed from it's high position prior), Bronzong (who tripled it's weaknesses) and Jirachi's defensive potential are all harmed by the variety of moves that those types do have now dealing double damage. About how I expected that to go. I'd lean towards a combat unit who might actually face magic without melting instead of Louis.

Garda pirates That's a funny moment for sure. Poor guy, but still useable here. Dangit Abel. Jeez Daros will have to be like the ballista boats with that kind of Spd. I can't tell how it'd do from here myself, but it seems like it should be able to. Majimum power.

Oh yeah, but I said busted because of the ability to make Bantu unkillable full stop with statboosters. I wish we'd get this kind of manakete again though. I realise with a worse PC there's limits, but I'm assuming that's not the case for gnip here. And even if you're using a mobile device for it, there are options there. Of course, the power of that device is another question. The FOMO pissed me off, I would have gotten it otherwise.

There's a couple things about MotE that make it playable for me vs. SDatBoL, but I won't pretend like I'm chomping at the bit to play BI again, probably the same with BII if I ever get to finishing it. On the one hand, fair. On the other hand, Nintendo PC is a thing for a reason, Citra is long proven (well, if your PC is not a potato) and Switch Emulation is in a pretty useable state from what I've heard (And I doubt there'll be Denuvo put on older titles, smh that that's happening) I was not ready back when I played. I reset Turn 1 of chapter 19 so many times in that on-off period of 6 months. I might try to think of a less meta pairing for Genealogy, but considering how some of the pairings can at times be worse than subs, I don't know that I will.

I mean, there's things I've liked about modern FE, but if you want to go for it, go ahead. And hey, you'll probably have more of a mindset to clear the first game than I'll ever have. Thracia does have it's moments though. Alright, one rec per? SDatBoL: Use Darros make him sail. Gaiden: Get Deen, his hair isn't in his eyes unlike the remake. MotEI: Make Biraku/Vyland/whatever he's called nowadays your main cav MotEII: Warren. I have no reasons. Genealogy: I am of the opinion Aideen/Midir is the better pick, go with it. T776: I say Marty, you say Party. If I limit it to one, let it be Warren. Good luck. Mercurius doubles his gains in SDatBoL I think, making for an interesting proposition of delaying levels on him for this later on. Doga of the bench. 😞 -No Wrys, No Darros, no Pyrathi, merging chapters 4 and 5 together, no ballistae, no busted Bantu Fair.

That crit's still stinging, thank you /s Why do I keep thinking Flame Charge isn't guaranteed to raise Spd? Would have been lovely for Burgh that's for sure. Somehow I don't think a crit from her is recoverable. The question is which routes or freebies do I sacrifice? Some neat options in Castelia City and around Route 4 and the ruins, some if which I'm about to lose, but I suppose the real deliberations will be based on what I get in Virbank Complex. Can't count the higher level part of Route 20 either, it's like Pinwheel Forest like that. Let's put replies here: Thing about this part of the game is it's actually pretty short. This and Burgh's gyms run pretty close to each other, but we'll see if that speed makes me sloppier. TL;DR: Got Worked Up a couple times over things that Returned out to be no problem. Checkpoint reached. List: Question: What should I do about that bit in Castelia Sewers with Hugh? Treat the encounter as is or not? Because if so probably choose to repel through.

I'm probably going to be occupied for the next few days, fair warning. Live to Serve is alright I guess. Paragon Wrys makes me look sadly here I guess. Just had to be Fates Devil Axe huh? *Insert 5 points joke here This feels off. How is Marth not getting his head kicked in? "50 Str Etie isn't real, she can't hurt you" 50 Str Etie: Soon

Huh, guess I didn't anticipate Emboar being as well regarded. If Riolu had access to Force Palm before level 13 like in BW, that wouldn't even have been an issue. I probably could have done this, but I would have rated having SE damage more. Oh yeah. Maylene's is definitely a gym gym in Platinum, Lavaridge seems to be linked up to the hot water springs even in Gen 3, Celadon and Eterna could be considered full on gardens, Pastoria also has the swimming Pool feel, Candice's is the deadliest ice rink in the world. Sheesh indeed. I'm hopeful I get something good from Virbank Complex, it'll be the last party member before Castelia. Oh. Shows how faulty my memory is that I thought ORAS had Block too.

*Gulp Well, time to see what damage I did. Fair amount going on IRL honestly, that and I wanted to write up a whole story for coming back. I have no idea what I am doing with the chapter I'm on. Huh. Did not realise they had walkthroughs. This is my cart I got Day 1, so a little out of luck on AR codes. I could probably just get the 3DS hacked, then put a B2 cart/ROM with a save with all the keys if I was going to do that. Probably should have, but I was on Set and Vanden was doing fine on damage and defence before the crit. Well, for what +2 to Atk will do. That or I could have broken all semblance of trying to challenge myself and levelled Frain to 15, movepool change in the 2 year timeskip was a mistake.

Well, I suppose I should get on with the next part of it. TL;DR: I'm sorry. List: I named the trainer Alearth for a reason dangit Vaden was a typo, it's Vanden. Sure, it's not Hero Wrys, but he still gets Axes? I'm assuming. Sweet.

Alright, got access to a console again, let's play a game I haven't played in ages that I felt was peak at the time. Wish I could say I had challenge mode, but that'd require having the key unlocked. Which I did. On my original save. That no longer exists. The fact keys couldn't be kept across save files was a shame. TL;DR: Get started, get ordered about, get lucky. List: It's not that so much as he does not read to me as a character who's in their mid-40s, but is north of 50 imo if not a decade older. It's also interesting apparently his child and their partner are alive from what we hear, we don't know if they're from Lythos or came from somewhere else and if that's true for all stewards, which it could be considering the state of Lythos doesn't seem to have much of anything or anyone. Maybe the offer is good enough to get people moving to Lythos? The outrealms getting too wild Wrys about to become the goat? (Is reclassing an option by the way? Or does it not matter because all the classes are like DSFE's?)

I will have to get away from home before starting, but that should be either today or tomorrow anyway. I decided on W2 by the way, mainly so I'm on hardware. I mean, the amount of theme tunes that match with the opening is enough for me to get this. 33 generations averages out around just under 30 and a third year of people serving as stewards. Considering the less active combat role the position takes I feel like this works fine enough. Vander being 45 does not, the ages written up are unacceptable Maybe Alear's going to degenerate into a monster and Vander's trying to avoid saying it? In fairness, he'd have been told what he knew from Lumera either directly or indirectly, who would know more than anyone the state of Alear in their slumber. Past!Alear definitely had it bad doofuses? Or are you giving us a new word? Adopt every last one of them intensifies

I found the link, there is a lot of fanhacks set up for it as well. Might just do X, it's been a long time since I played Kalos and the encounter total is a bit fairer than White 2 would be but I counted the postgame stuff out and the total's actually similar.

Hmm, maybe I might do that. What version would people want for a Pokemon run? I haven't really touched that Platinum run in a while (It's still before Roark), but that probably still shouldn't be the one. I'd avoid Hoenn both due to it being on the list and me having cleared nuzlocke runs of Ruby and Emerald ages ago (Same with FR and HG (but that'd need to be reconsidered anyways)). Haven't done Unova so that could be an option (but BW can be awkward in early game, I've seen enough examples), while I can't reset any of the 3DS games I have so that'd have to be emulated. Good luck to anyone going regardless! Speedy bow! I like his funny skills, this magic man. F for breaking his weapon too. This is rough. Hey look, actual tactical stuff in archanea

35 minutes. If there's nothing at all here that's a waste. TL;DR: No Gen 1 on NSO, but TCG and Stadium 2 happen. Detective Pikachu Returns gets a date and we get Pokemon but YuGiOh, but barring that I can't raise much of an eye. Edit: Didn't realise they highlighted new pokemon: can't say I'm that fond of them and having not played Sw/Sw I kinda can't be fair to the new evos. The Paradox evos continue the trend but are both arguably worse imo. RIP me. Edit 2: Apparently remix theft's on the menu:
