Read title, thought this would be an interesting thread 🙂 Please be sure to mark your response with SPOILERS, someone might be playing the game you're talking about so don't ruin the experience for them!

So here's a little fic I've been working for a while now on Ao3 and Fanfiction.net and I'd thought I'd post it here as well. It's a story revolving around the future kids and exploring what their lives were like before jumping back in time as well as chronicling the events that lead up to that point. Now any and all feedback is very much appreciated and should be put into the feedback thread which I'll link to in the spoiler. Anyway without further delay here is Fire Emblem Awakening: One Last Chance Chapter 1: A World of Despair The blood red sky loomed over the fires of a burning village. A demonic chorus of moans harmonized disgustingly with the screams of terror echoing through the wind. A teenage girl with long blue hair and a tiara backed further into the alleyway. Two purple and monstrous humanoid figures stood before her and blocked her only exit. The one in the front wore nothing but arm gauntlets and torn up brown pants. Its abdomen was well defined and muscular and it looked clearly strong enough to cleave a building in half with the axe nestled into its hand. The one behind it, however, was thinner and wore much more clothing as torn up as it was. Instead of an axe, this one opted for use of a long silver broadsword. However despite the differences a couple things remained the same. Four glowing red dots glared at her through the decrepit old masks mard with rows of jagged teeth. A purple mist billowed forth from their bodies and oozed onto the floor. Several ragged breaths escaped her mouth in seconds. Thick drops of blood trickled down from the endless amount of scars coating her body. Pain seared through every point of her body. She gripped her sword and winced as her legs spread into a fighting stance. Her body was beginning to reach its limit. A tug at her shirt prompted Lucina to look down. A little girl with short brown hair gazed at her. Her eyes sparkled with tears glistening in the glowing flames around them. A mix of blood and dirt stained her small brown dress. She smiled down at the girl. “Don’t worry, I promise everything will be okay” The girl smiled back but not soon after a sharp growl pulled their attentions forward. The sharp edge of the axe met her gaze and immediately her sword darted through the air. With a clang of metal, Lucina blocked the risen’s strike. Her teeth grinded against each other as her feet slid backwards from the force of the strike. “G-get back, now!” She ordered. The child simply nodded and ran further back into the ally. Lucina took a deep breath and after mustering her strength, rammed her shoulder straight into the risen. The undead monster staggered back and wobbled for a bit before swinging its axe once more. However, this time Lucina expected it and swerved to the side causing the axe to crash into the ground. Now without any hesitation, the young lord lined the tip of her blade with the center of the risen’s chest and lunged forward. The risen’s entire body halted for moment as it glanced down at the long golden blade protruding from its chest. Lucina gripped her sword’s hilt and with a yell pulled the blade up and through the risen’s neck and face. With a shriek of pain, the undead monster dissolved into a purple vapor. Heavy ragged breaths puffed into the air as she winced from the pain pulsing in her arm. Alright that’s one down. She looked up and for a moment her heart stopped. Nothing but flames and corpses met her gaze. Where’d the other one go? “Heeeelp!!!” A painfully familiar high pitched voice rang through her ears. Her eyes widened at the realization. Quickly she spun around only for her heart to sink. a large purple mass loomed over the small girl quivering against a hard wall of cobblestone. There’s no time! Lucina charged the risen only for a sharp pain to cause her to faceplant into the stone pathway. She tried to push herself back up only to be met with more throbbing pain. She managed to lift her head and met eyes with the terrified girl. At that moment timed slowed to a crawl as the world around her crumbled. Tears filled the girl’s eyes as her lips began to move. “You promised” she said as the risen’s sword began to fall upon her. Her heart stopped at the utterance of those words. A torrent of despair slammed into her body and whipped through her anxious mind. There was a loud scream, followed by blood spatter and then silence. The promise was broken. The two halves of the girl’s body slumped to the ground as a dye of crimson dripped from the risen’s blade. Her stomach yanked at her throat as she suppressed the bile rocketing upwards. Her eyes screwed shut as she turned away from the sight. She couldn’t stand death. The mere thought of it filled her dread but it was something that was all too common in this despair ridden world. However, slow footsteps pried her eyes open and back towards the risen slowly advancing on her. Her heart began to sprint through her body as every instinct in her body screamed at her to move. Though any attempt to do so was only met with an excruciating pain. Was this it? Suddenly, A loud shriek of pain pierced the sky as a javelin whizzed through the air and struck the risen clean in the face. “Bullseye!” Lucina heard a familiar voice shout out. Large feathered wings slowed to a stop as a bright white pegasus landed beside her. A young girl in pegasus knight armour with short hair in pigtails colored in the exact same shade of blue as Lucina’s own rode atop the mighty steed. “The great hero Cynthia Strikes again!!” the girl said as she hopped off her pegasus. “Woah woah woa-ahh!” Her arms flailed about in the air before she fell face first into the cobblestone path. Lucina sighed at her sister’s clumsiness. “Owww” Cynthia whined as she pushed herself up and twirled around. “you okay Lucy?” She asked with an outstretched hand. “I’m fine, thank you Cynthia” She said as she was pulled to her feet. “Are you sure?” Cynthia raised an eyebrow, “cause it looks like you can barely stand!” “I’m fine really” Lucina reassured as she sheathed her sword. She then turned back to Cynthia, “Besides I thought I told you wait for me back at camp” Cynthia’s eyes glided to the floor, “Yeah I know but you were taking so long that me and snowflake got worried and besides...” She faced her sister once more as she struck a heroic pose, “A great hero is never idle!” Lucina’s heart fluttered a little at her sister’s beaming smile. She’s just as cheerful as ever. The young lord sighed, “Alright I suppose it’s fine” “Sooo where’s that woman’s daughter you went to go save?” Cynthia asked as her eyes wandered about the alleyway. The question stabbed through Lucina’s chest as no answer followed. Cynthia’s pigtails drooped as her eyes landed on her answer laying behind her, “Oh…” “We should go back” Lucina said. Cynthia simply nodded as she helped her sister onto Snowflake’s back. In no time at all they were airborne. -------- “Wh-what do you mean you couldn’t save her?” A village woman in tattered clothing and brown hair stared at Lucina in disbelief. “I’m so sorry I…” Lucina hesitated for a moment as chains began to wrap around her heart. “...the risen overwhelmed me...th-there was nothing I could’ve done” Pools of tears began to sparkle in the woman’s eyes. Lips and eyelids quivered uncontrollably. Hand-like gates erected over her face as a loud heart wrenching wail of despair exploded into the air. Lucina’s heart sank as she watched the scene unfold before her. Her fingers wound tightly into a fist as her nails dug into her palm. The slaughtering of that girl clawing at her mind. “Emily!!!!” The woman cried out her daughter’s name. “I’m so sorry” is all Lucina could say as she moved a hand to the woman’s shoulder. The distraught mother swatted the lord’s hand away. “Sorry?” She said before glaring at Lucina with her tear ridden face, “YOU’RE SORRY?!?!? SORRY WON’T BRING EMILY BACK!!! SHE WAS ALL I HAD LEFT IN THIS DAMNED WAR TORN WASTELAND!!!!” She shoved her finger in the young lord’s face, “AND YOU LET HER DIE!!!! IT’S YOUR FAULT SHE’S GONE!!!!” Lucina could only stand in silence. There was nothing she could say. The woman was right after all. If only she hadn’t been so weak, then perhaps she wouldn’t have failed to save little Emily. “Hey! Lucy tried her best ok!” Cynthia suddenly interjected as she pushed herself in between Lucina and the village woman. “Cynthia” Lucina whispered to herself. “Well she should’ve tried harder!!” The woman spat as her glared smouldered down to the younger of the two sisters. “It’s baffling to think that she is the heir to the exalt name!! Had lord Chrom been here instead, this never would have happened!” Her glare then rose back to Lucina, “He was a strong and model leader that cared for his people” She pointed at Lucina once more, “She is weak and will never be the exalt her father was!” Those last words slammed into Lucina like a hammer smashing through plated armour. Again the woman was right. Cynthia’s face scrunched into a glare “Well I’d like to see you do better! You probably wou-” “Cynthia that’s enough” Lucina grabbed onto her sister’s shoulder. “B-but Lucy-” She looked up and her pigtails immediately drooped into a whimper as she looked into her older sister’s hard stare. The young lord then addressed the village woman, “I apologize about her” The woman merely scoffed and turned to fade into the darkness. Cynthia swatted Lucina’s arm away as she turned to face her older sister. “Lucy why’d you let her get away like that? She was saying so many mean things about you so why? Why didn’t you say anything?” Lucina looked down at her sister’s wide eyes that sparkled with concern. Those same eyes that sparkled at her when their father died. “Because she was right” Lucina said without a hint of emotion in her voice. “Whaaa?” She reeled back in surprise, “Don’t say things like that Lucy!” Cynthia grabbed Lucina’s shoulders and began to shake her sister, “You’re the exact opposite of what that lady said! You’re super strong and a fantastic leader! Father would be nothing but proud of-” “ENOUGH CYNTHIA” Lucina shot out. The shaking came to an abrupt stop as Cynthia let out a terrified squeal. Lucina brushed off her sister’s hands, “I am weak” She said, her voice laced with venom. She put her hand to her chest, “I failed to save that girl because I was weak! All I could do was watch as she was mutilated right in front of me! So no, I’m not as strong as Father so please repent from telling me otherwise!” Cynthia’s eyes dropped to the floor as she noticed a couple tears drip from her sister’s chin. Maybe she had gone a little too far. Lucina took a deep breath and began to move a hand over to her little sister’s shoulder only for her sprint away into the darkness. And just like that, her heart slammed into the abyss. Her eyelids began to twitch as her vision began to blur in a foggy haze. Hand-like gates covered her face as a desperate wail began to crawl out of her mouth. “F-father why did you have to die?”

Someone have try to let Judith (Ally) dead in chapter 15 ?

I'd like for unit deaths in Fire Emblem 6 to be temporary, like in Shining Force. How can I do this?

Menu Music Hello, everyone, and welcome to a very, very unexpected LP: Plague Inc. Evolved! I shall do the introduction via questions. So... what the heck IS this game, exactly? Basically, at its very core it is a realistic plague simulator, that doubles as a game. And a very fun and interesting game, at that. We use a plague to infect the earth and everyone in it, killing them all. Yes, that's right, our end goal is the death of every single human on earth! Nothing less will do. We don't directly control our plague, however (at least for the normal plagues). We can only buy upgrades and then watch as our plague destroys everything. It sounds like it might be boring, but it actually manages to force us to use a lot of strategy, and there are different plague types to mix things up. We'll see more about how it works once we actually get started. Also, there's a lot of cool interfaces to stare at. So there's that, too. Where did you hear about this game? I got it on my phone, played it and loved it, and then I saw the Steam version for PC on sale. Then I thought, hey, I could make a screenshot LP! That's basically how all my romhack screenshot LPs get started. Where can I get this game? As I said earlier, it's on Steam for anyone who wants it. It's still in early access, but judging from what I played on the phone it's definitely worth a go. Can a screenshot LP of this game work? I don't know! We're certainly going to find out, aren't we? Also, looking at the screenshot above, you'll see that it's a big screenshot. A VERY big screenshot. Due to being on a PC and meant to be played in fullscreen, there is a LOT of information that the game needs to convey to us. Yeah, the screenshots are maybe too big, but if they were any smaller you wouldn't be able to see anything! I'll try to mess with the resolutions and screenshot size and see what works. Make sure to tell me if there's any problems! Also, I'm going to be going for informative with this LP. Since we're doing screenshots, I feel that's best. As for the information in question, well, there is a LOT of ground to cover, so I'll tell you as we go along. THE BEGINNING: Say in the comments what we should name our first plague, or subsequent plagues. I'll use any good name suggestions!

So I ran into a little problem I never seen encountered before. I was making and editing custom weapons in nightmare and this happened: https://gyazo.com/7c540bde7709dc1b928ddf7a24e5aea3 The dreadful screech of death. Well I narrowed it down to the nightmare spell association module, at least I think that's what it is but I'm not sure. Is this due to a limited amount of custom weapons? I went back and forth betweens backups and found that this only happens after I pass a certain number of edited/custom weapons in the spell association module. As in, telling the ROM which weapon uses which spell animation, I can only make 6 of these before the game shows me that screen. Things I did do: The item and spell association modules are expanded. The corresponding notepad nightmare lists are as well. I did check if I overwritten anything and I did not. Does anyone know why this would happen?

So there I was, sitting in front of my laptop, staring at a textedit page that I had opened up. It was a cool, summer night, and I was planning on staying up all night to write a personal statement for college. My mind was blank, I was nervous and it hadn't occurred to me that my brothers were about to go to the liquor store for late-night snacks. I thought to myself, "Well... I could go for a can of Arnie. (This is a drink known as "Arnold Palmer". It's basically iced tea mixed with lemonade. It's a gentleman's drink, you see. It's a me drink.) I should ask him for some." And so I did. He replied, "Where's the money?" "Damn!" I though, "I'm penniless..." I would have begged him to buy one for me, but I'm not that kind of guy. I said, "Oh, well, maybe next time." He laughed and said, "Ha! You're as broke as me now." What a cad... Him and my little brother opened the door and talked on the porch for a bit. They discussed whether or not it would be best to purchase Nacho Cheese doritos or those god-awful blue ones. Stale Semen flavor, I think they were called. As they were about to decide, my younger brother shouted, "Don't you take another step!" I immediately thought that he had finally snapped. All those days of playing Warframe, grinding and selling crap items to fools in the marketplace... I finally thought it had broken him. I was wrong, however, because as soon as I set foot outside the doorway, I noticed his arm stretched out in front of my older brother. He was warning him, protecting him from the evil creature that made our porch its home. It was white and gold. It had eight legs and eight eyes. It looked like a demon straight out of the Goetia. Yes, it was here to tempt us with the knowledge of the world, but little did it know that, although my younger brother is a terrible merchant, he is wise to the ways of demons and their ilk. My brothers and I froze in horror and disgust. How dare this unholy arachnid think itself so clever as to craft its web in front our very faces! It was insulting! Normally, we would banish such creatures with our... uh, vaccum, but we knew we were no match for this beast. Instead, we left it alone. We decided to wait 'till morning, when it was most vulnerable, to initiate our attack. But woe is the man who thinks himself so clever for simply moving a chess piece onto a most strategic space without thinking ahead of the game! As we maneuvered past the web, there was another eight-legged beast building a hellish web of evil right in front of our very faces! If it were not for my younger brother's excellent eyesight, I daresay that he and I would have been food for the beast and its cohort. I am thankful that I have family to rely on. We plan on henceforth removing the beasts at the break of dawn. Whatever victims they manage to catch tonight shall be their last. Pray for my safety, dear friends. I am a humble man, but I am also a weak one. I cannot do this alone. Again, I ask for your prayers. Thank you

Hello everyone, and welcome to... THE LACK OF A CUSTOM TITLE SCREEN! Uh, wait, I mean... DEATH OR GLORY! Death or Glory is an FE7 hack by NYZ Gamer. It's story and gameplay are all custom, using plenty of custom animations and mugs. The story revolves around a generic soldier named Ragnar, who aims to make a difference in a large war. It contains 15 levels(13 chapters + the prologue and a gaiden), which is actually the same as the second-to-most-recent patch, which I played. The newest patch just makes massive changes to the gameplay and dialogue of the existing chapters. I honestly have to say that it needed it. Before, the gameplay and story could be described as "mediocre". But has it really improved? Is it a better hack now? We will find out! The thread for the hack(and the patch) can be found here. Also, I have a few notes I'd like to make: 1: I'll be doing the same prelude/gameplay/conclusion thing I did for Road to Ruin, at least after the first few chapters. 2: I wasn't able to get a growths sheet, so no character growths. Sorry :C 3: This hack is way better than Corrupt Theocracy, so you and I both will have to switch out of criticism mode. NEXT TIME, WE ACTUALLY START!

Hello, I am the clone of a great Brigadier, Nodney the Great... I have come here to scout out your forums... and decide how we will bring you down. But for the time being, just enjoy yourselves with my company... you dont have long to live... The Emblem Brigade will soon rule over you and your pitiful forest!!! MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHA!!!! (I'm with Cancer Lancer.... How'd you like my intro? Intimidating, right? anyway, im here mainly to rp just like my friend Lancer.)

Hey, Fateborn here again. I'm going to do a Female!sword only run. If you are familiar with my FE8 run, then the rules will be the same, with few expectations that I have placed in poll to allow you to decide for me (I would do it myself but I like to see what you guys want to see me do.) First rule. Only women are allowed. (Unless Bartre is permitted permanently I won't use him.) And they are required to have either sword, or has promotion gain of swords. In other word... Lyndis, Florina, Fiora, Isadora, Vaida, Farina, and Karla are permitted. However, as an expectation due to low amount of units, Ninian/Nils are also permited. (If only I had a mamakute too...) If such a need arise, I won't hesitate to use a healing class or an additional female unit. But until then, I won't be required to use them. (Yeah, you heard me right. I'm WILLING to use Louise or Priscilla (Two most likely canditate of emergency if something's fucky with my run such as terribad growth on my characters since it usually happen... Fucking Tate, Vanessa and Syrene.) I also have to sell all items that are not swords and consumables (Which means, no axe, no lances, no bows, no staves, no tomes. I will however keeps few lances -for florina and fiora of course, and a couple of bow/staves for louise and priscilla in case of emergency.) As I will be unable to have any female sword users for 5 chapters of HHM, I am allowed to use Eliwood and Hector with no hestitation until I re-acquires Lyndis, to which I will then bench Failwood. (He always suck on my team no matter what happen. It'd be Lyndis who's most blessed, and Hector will be above average, that's always common for me...) I also will level up Priscilla with usages until the unnecessary of her approaches. If something is really messy between chapter 12 and 15, I will be permitted to use Marcus, but only with swords. I'll keep the poll running for 24 hours, or until sufficient votes are input. Till then, I bid you good read and entertainment of my mostly gangsta outburst and dumb references here and there of my run. (Mostly thwomp.) Now then I gotta go study a certain pattern of the chapters and see what I could do for each one (the ones between 11 and 15 anyway.) Edit: Main reason why I'd like to do LHM is so I can drag my balls through chapter 19xx :>

After clearing FE6 with the similar run, I figured I'd tackle either FE7 or FE8 with the same challenge, and I was told to do FE8... After reviewing the roster, I must say it's whole lot tougher than FE6 run for a certainty. Being forced to only have SIX SEVEN units to use, of which one is the last unit to be recruited in the entire game. However, just like my FE6 run, I will also use the dancer and the mamakute. Tethys and Myrrah. The Units I am restricted to for the run... Eirika, Vanessa, Neimi, Tana, Marissa, and Syrene. And Amelia apparently. Tethys and Myrrah I am not allowed to use any other weapons, with expectation of the classes that only get swords on promotion, to which I will freely use their default weapons until they promote. (Vanessa, Neimi, and Tana. Amelia.) With no further explanation, let's begin! [spoiler=Prologue] Silent and Serene adventure begins. On second thought... not that quiet and gentle. Getting the Romance of the Five Kingdoms vibe Random nation is random. I like the wordings. Suicide time? Suicide time! But Daddy, this bracelet is so 15 years ago! Worst King Ever Surprise! Batt sekt! Must...? What? Roll in the mud and sneak through the forest in the camouflages of brownness? CreepValter is Creep Creepiest Character Japan NO! I SHALLN'T LOSE MAH VIRGINITY TO THIS PEDO Best Knight NA? But it's certainly a bother to see you gushing out like a fountain onto your beloved horse. Well, you won't die because it's FEMALE!SWORD ONLY RUN! Eiraka sucks, petitioning for Seth to be turned into a woman please. GIMME EVERYTHING YOU GOT SETHY Dead fighter is dead. Dead princess is dead. Twond try! One step behind the other fighter. SAFE ENOUGH RIGHT? Poke She's good looking at least. She already died though... Not too rash. With a flick of her wrist, that's how. WTB str. Quite so.
