Let's Play FE7

[Florete]

1. Which two characters get benched for the rest of Lyn Mode?

Wil and Dorcas.

2. Who gets the Angelic Robe and Energy Ring?

Robe to Florina, Ring to Lyn.

3. What supports do you want to see once we get to the main story?

RavenxPriscilla

LynxFlorina

RebeccaxDart

GeitzxIsadora

MerlinusxVaida

[Just call me AL]

Use Serra in Hector mode, screw her in Lyn. I will reiterate this.

She's only useless if you happen to waste her Heal staff and don't happen to buy another one in Chapter 7. And chances are, I'm pretty sure only about half of your guys are carrying vulneraries, and Serra is gonna need some experience along the way.

[Red Whirlwind]

1) Bench Wil and Rath

2) Lyn looks like she could use the Angelic Robe. While I usually would advocate giving Florina the Energy Ring, Kent looks magnificently screwed, so maybe he should take it.

3) Among supports I always enjoy seeing: Hector x Lyn, Kent x Fiora, Farina x Dart, Bartre x Canas, Priscilla x Heath, Sain x Serra, Pent x Louise

I'm just gonna go ahead and echo this post, since it hits every single nail on the head of what I want to say. (Especially with the Eli X Nini and Hec X Lyn pairing notions, since those are my two favorite pairs in this game.) If you're planning for B supports as well as A, I'd suggest maybe Eliwood X Lyn, Hector X Oswin, Fiora X Florina, and Kent X Sain for B supports. Whatever else I can suggest, I might put up later.

EDIT: I forgot to mention. Since you're doing Hector's story, if you want to see some of the special conversations that lie in Chapter 31x and the endgame, and if want the extended end-of-chapter sequence for Chapter 30, as well as the extended ending for FE7, you're gonna have to do the Hector X Lyn and the Eliwood X Ninian pairs anyways. Just some food for thought.

Yep, pretty much my opinions on the questions lol

[Paperblade]

Due to the fact that Nils won't shut his face, I'm going to have to split Chapter 7 into two parts. Seriously, the kid drags the dialogue on forever.

Anyway, you guys can keep on voting, I'm just moving this along since I had no class today and as a result sat around doing nothing. The second part of Chapter 7 (and maybe 7x if I can squeeze it in) should be up tomorrow.

Chapter Seven

“Yesterday I wasn’t an asshole!”

You know, the suspicious looking guys that are wearing masks over their faces? Clearly the good guys.

This is the meanest generic NPC in the game.

Note that this is a non-answer, he doesn’t actually specify where we are.

Yes. No. Maybe. I’m not sure, Lyn is just so bloody inconstant.

In that case, we’re not. Seeya!

Kent is an asshole.

Sain’s interest is piqued.

Kent continues to be an asshole.

Laddie? Since when was Sain Scottish?

“Well, since you put it that way, okay.”

Not so much that as I want to kill you for EXP and this is a good pretext.

You probably heard this from Sigurd or something, since Elibean Dark Magic sucks*.

*Exception: Luna

“Do I look promoted to you?”

Clearly male.

Nils seriously pops in to say this, and then pops out. It amused me for some reason.

Oh wonderful, another clergyman obsessed with little boys.

Anyway, chapter starts! I dropped Wil and Dorcas for now since they’re winning (losing?) by a landslide, although if Rath gets more votes I can always switch them out.

This is the only thing Florina is good for.

Anyway, for those of you who don’t know (all one of you), you can get two special convos in this map (I forgot to get the Matthew/Serra one last chapter but I was already approaching the image limit)

It’s located there.

Hector was always fond of hide-and-seek. It reminds him of search and destroy, which is his specialty.

Matt also has a conversation.

Matthew continues his practice of barging into random homes to loot everything, and finds an unpleasant surprise.

If you’ll put your yaoi goggles on, you’ll find this to be a parallel of Brokeback Mountain. I think.

“Certainly not rifling through your shit, milord.”

You know, this is a lot more awkward after making a gay joke.

“However, this Lyn is not the real granddaughter.”

“You’re everyone’s messenger, not just mine!”

[Junkhead]

Amazing. 80

And bench Rath, Wil is obvious. Dorcas will at least be useful in HHM because of more lance users.

[Tables]

Wil and Rath. Dorcas is a woman beating hypocrite. Who had his mutton poisoned. What's not to love?

[riariadne]

1. Note that I never have to bench more than two characters at a time for the rest of Lyn Mode (technically we bench three in Ch. 8, but Matthew sits out anyway, so this would only be a concern if you guys want to bench Matt). Note that since we're getting 19xx, I cannot bench Nils. Which two characters get benched for the rest of Lyn Mode?

2. Who gets the Angelic Robe and Energy Ring?

3. I will attempt to get at least an A Support for every character because we're not playing for ranks or turn counts, meaning I can spend as much time dicking around as I want. What supports do you want to see once we get to the main story?

Serra to make it resemble a challenge slightly if you close your eyes, Sain to troll him some more.

2. Both to Matthew because he's our JRPG hero.

3. Rebecca x Wil because I'm a shipper.

Lyn x Rath same as above.

Hector x Farina to make you use money.

Eliwood x Farina to troll most of the fandom.

Pent x Louise hmmmmmm

Ninian x Hawkeye because nobody else ever does that.

Jaffar x Matthew. More trolling.

Nino x Canas. See above.

Guy x Priscilla because it's laughable how Guy acts in the A support.

Karel x Karla trollin'

Legault x Heath ^

As you can see I'm in this to fuck your playthrough up. :D

[Junkhead]

With the turns he can take, he won't have problem arena abusing, you know.

[Narga_Rocks]

With the turns he can take, he won't have problem arena abusing, you know.

Which he can do at the same time as building supports. Convenient that.

[Paperblade]

Yes, the plan is to support abuse in every chapter possible to get an A support for as many units possible. Arena abuse may not do much since I'm probably going to cycle most of the team anyway.

Fortunately, 7x has very little dialogue, so I was able to squeeze it in.

Chapter 7

It’s almost as though she’s been kidnapped!

“I must have her!”

I dunno, you’re offscreen.

“Probably because I drugged her.”

Yes, I wanted EXP!

“But you didn’t say anything. It just faded to black!”

Dammit, Lyn!

This, of course, is propaganda spread by the people of Sacae.

“No... Can’t wake... annoying brother…”

“Damn!”

More like con artists if you ask me.

And so the innuendos and implications begin.

“Whore.”

To honor life... That's code for carnal knowledge.

“You know what I mean~”

Yes.

I must have imagined those evil guys in masks that were after the kids.

Oh right, Lyn.

Con artists.

“I also enjoy referring to Lady Lyndis in the third person.”

Sain can’t even get a word in edgewise.

Yes, of course. Not stolen at all.

It was probably theirs to begin with, you little shit.

I think he’s lying.

That fucker! I’ll show him!

Kill everything, starting with Wil.

Chapter 7x

“Save it, you’re fired.”

“I dunno.”

“Because they’re idiots.”

No, we’re here to give you back to them.

And not a single fuck was given that day.

“Like, twelve.”

It’s a bloody ruin, Lyn.

Kent, if we cared about turn counts, we would be in the tier list thread.

So, we kill everything. Kent refuses to get Strength and Sain refuses to get Speed, what else is new? Oh, I dropped Rath since people voting since Chapter 7 like Dorcas better.

“In brightest day, in blackest night

No evil shall escape my sight

Let those who worship evil’s might,

Beware my power... Green Lantern’s light!”

Wait, what do you mean that’s not the right oath?

Dammit, Lyn! Stop doing that!

And so our sidequest is finished, and we’ll probably have less of Nils and Ninian’s bullshit so it won't take two posts!

[Narga_Rocks]

Yes, I wanted EXP!

I love this comment.

[Paperblade]

Sorry for lack of updates, was busy this weekend. I wanted to do Chapter 8 and 9 in one but they have more dialogue than I expected. :|

So instead, just Chapter 8!

I don’t think so, Tim.

I won’t. In fact, it’ll boost my morale!

Every. Bloody. Time.

Somehow, I don’t think guaranteeing even Javelin Florina can double is “getting serious”

Nothing about this sentence makes any sense.

Sain has failed to inform me as to why this is a problem.

“Haha, just kidding, you’re benched. Loser.”

“There’s a village over there, with like, three dozen houses!”

As you can see, enemy threat levels are at an all time high.

More EXP? Wait, Lyn, don’t kill him!

Well, considering you killed the boss (asshole), I’m gonna say yes.

“… were all totally incompetent.”

“So naturally, I cut them down. Because I’m a sociopath. And I distrust children.”

Sain takes after Kent. Seriously, these people have families too, and you just don’t care!

Please, Lyn. Even with your atrocious durability, it would have taken two attacks minimum to kill you even without the Angelic Robe.

“I wanted EXP!”

Matthew doesn’t mention the looting, because then he’d have to share.

Thanks to my omniscience, I already knew this.

Gasp, really? It couldn’t possibly be the guy sending soldiers to kill us!

Yeah, it is. Thank you Matthew, for telling us something we already knew.

“It’s almost as though we’re in a backwards medieval society!”

No, Lyn, he’s saying no one can find them. God, do you even listen?

Justin Bieber is being inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame?

Damn, that’s unfortunate. We’ll probably have to fight her.

Hey, that’s just like us! Only, not evil. Well. Not Neutral Evil, in any case. Lawful, maybe.

Stupid Kent and Sain, killing everyone just for getting in their way.

I know, I-Wait, it’s US? Shit.

Well, your mom is your proof. See, I can make inappropriate, bad jokes too.

By who, exactly? The villagers don’t believe Lundgren, Hausen’s retainers are missing, and Eliwood is your bro. Who are we concerned about? Lundgen not believing us? He’s been trying to kill us. Poorly, but hey. I’m not complaining. Much.

... I am okay with this.

If they’re anything like the ones we just fought, I doubt it.

I... I don’t think Eliwood is a good enough unit to be of use.

[Florete]

Well, your mom is your proof. See, I can make inappropriate, bad jokes too.

Fuckin' lol'd. It's also awesome how you caught Kent squinting in this shot.

[Mekkah]

"Your face is proof" would so be in my next debate post if I still practiced that hobby.

[Colonel M]

But seriously this shit is good. Keep at it.

[Paperblade]

Chapter Nine's up.

[spoiler=Chapter 9]

“However, their fingers were crossed.”

You could try not talking.

Damn. This means you’ll suck no matter in HHM no matter what.

Your weapon hit is more than enough for Lyn Mode enemies.

At least it’s not Captain Falcon’s estate.

AHAHAHA No.

Sain suffers from Peladophobia: Fear of bald people.

EVERY TIME.

I like how Wallace is just standing here while we talk. Seems like a nice guy.

“Do you know where I could find them?”

Dammit, Kent.

Also, a shrubbery.

“Because seriously, I’ve been trying to tap that for at least a month. I wouldn’t even bother if I were you.”

Shouldn’t it be the opposite of that?

“It means more EXP for me”

Wallace has 5 lines before she says this. 3 of them are answering Kent and Sain’s questions.

Wallace has mirrors on the insides of eyelids. He’s looking at his own.

Lyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyndiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiis.

“Housecats are very effective against peasants.”

This means he won’t take her, because for some reason Wallace only takes women he dislikes.

*Dorcas leaves*

That’s one way to put it.

No, you’re thinking of Mia.

HATERS GONNA HATE

See, with a sword equipped, Eagler has WTA. Crafty, isn’t he?

Anyway, he gets crit. Unfortunate for him.

So then why did you fight us, asshole?

Yeah, considering he told as much as he was dying.

Because he’s an asshole?

“Like, some sort of mind control, perhaps”

We’re in Elibe, Lyn.

“Pretty good, other than this poison. Did you get that Antitoxin I asked for?”

Well, Eagler, thanks for being wrong about that, too.

Shit, I don’t want to cart around another deadweight. We already have Wil and Ninian.

“Can’t you kill her after that? Or even during it.”

“Not really. I’m still a rich noble.”

Lundgren’s just mad because Hausen is too busy dying to put up with this shit.

And stats

[Mekkah]

WHAT HAPPENED TO DORCAS

[Anouleth]

WHAT HAPPENED TO DORCAS

He's playing a hack where Fighters can fly.

[Mikethfc]

See, with a sword equipped, Eagler has WTA. Crafty, isnt he?

Anyway, he gets crit. Unfortunate for him.

Holy Fuck, Lyn listened to somebody

Yeah, considering he told as much as he was dying.

Yeah but its Lyn she probably didn't listen

Edited November 19, 2010 by mikethfc

[Paperblade]

Sorry this has been taking a while, it's difficult to upload 50+ images when your internet is worthless.

Anyway, Chapter 10!

[spoiler=Chapter 10]

As the chapter opens, we see Lyn attempting suicide.

For reference, that means like, two mercenaries, two archers, a soldier, a knight, and a pair of cavaliers. Not much.

Yep.

Ike!?

Yeah, for one, he doesn’t run around distrusting children.

Lundgren doesn’t know the first thing about Sain. Lyn is a teenage girl. Lundgren is an old man. Who is Sain going to choose?

Note that Lundgren didn’t actually offer him anything. No fortune, no titles, no women, nothing.

Told you.

Unless you’re going to turn into a teenage girl or kill a bunch of them, I doubt Sain will regret this.

I don’t remember if there was more, but I like to imagine this was the entire conversation.

Dammit Erk, stop taking all the good level ups! Or at least get a stat up in “Not having stupid hair”

To be fair, this time he didn’t introduce himself first.

Wait, why didn’t he just, like, kill you?

Like he’s doing to Hausen?

“No.”

Hey, it runs in the family!

Shit, we came all the way for nothing!

... Can we at least finish you for the kill EXP? I mean, you’re old, so you’ve gotta at least be promoted by now, right?

“Who?”

... So like, what kind of groaning is that? Is it because he’s dying or turned on or what? This is kind of creepy.

Which makes this scene much worse, because I totally imagine his hand inching lower.

Thanks for ruining the happy moment, Lyn. Why not describe every gruesome detail of it?

I thought there were other survivors.

More accurately, everyone else in the tribe would still be dead, but Lyn’s parents would be alive.

“Well, other than my asshole brother.”

“They’re actually alive. I’m just a compulsive liar.”

“And it was all because you and your racist friends weren’t there to look down on Sacaens.”

Okay, now you’re just picking on him. He’s been bedridden for months and you dare talk about walking?

“And you can get killed by bandits too.”

And then we randomly cut to a courtyard or something.

Lyn did not factor Sain into her plans.

DAMMIT.

Man, they’re really laying it on thick.

DOUBLE DAMMIT.

“Please leave. Pherae needs more bad units.”

Wil does this a lot, if you haven’t noticed (I actually don’t know if I took screenshots all of it, but this is like the fifth or sixth time he trails off after saying “but”)

Spoilers: He doesn’t.

Yes.

Good.

Yes, “unconscious on the plains”

No wonder Caelin gets absorbed by Ostia by the time Sealed Sword rolls around, most of the PCs serving it suck and their knight commander is like level 7.

There’s only like three people that are friendly toward Sain, what the hell is this “loved by the citizenry” crap?

He. That is all.

Actually, it’ll be years because he’s a Knight and thus has crap Move.

And with that, Lyn Mode is complete. Finally.

Tomorrow (in Valve time) we will begin Hector Mode.

[Mekkah]

this is so fantastic

[Ardan]

I approve

[Junkhead]

Why did Dorcas leave when Wallace came?

[Colonel M]

Sain got Skillz.

[Narga_Rocks]

Sain got Skillz.

That's certainly quite a bit different from the level 9 Sain I had at the start of chapter 10.

25 hp, 14 str, 8 skl, 12 spd, 8 lck, 9 def, 2 res.

2.8 over his spd average. 1.2 over skl. 1.2 over lck. 1.4 over def. 1.2 over str.

And his luck only got crazier as time went on. He's sitting on like 22 luck at level 20/17. 5.75 over average. 21 skl at level 17. 3.75 over average. Only 2 spd above average (23), but he's one away from cap with 3 levels to go. 11 res. 3 over average. And he capped str early in tier 1 (like level 16 or something) and early in tier 2 (though only by like 2 or 3 levels). He can take out Luna guys without facing crit. 30 cev with my 8 tactician stars. 45 with Kent.
