FE8 facial hair-only run


Recommended Posts

I was going to do a female-only run but that's been done before and it was done quite recently iirc, and about 2/3 of the cast of male, so I decided on a facial-hair only run! We need better ideas

I was considering using the twins because plot and Ephraim's critical animation but I'm not sure

I'll start on this as soon as possible

Index!

[spoiler=Prologue]

Facial hair demands no less

This place reminds me of Australia

Vigarde sounds like a cool guy. He has fantastic facial hair too

2rdccjl.png

You better not die. The world would lose an amazing goatee

2wdajwh.png

The plot gets decided here. C'mon Seth!

33uc091.png

Dammit Seth! Time to run away

214swo.png

Oh look we were followed. Frail Princess, hold the line!

2h8bcp0.png

Dude I doubt it. It's the prologue and he's the Oifrey

Needless to say he died. Time to run some more!

[spoiler=Chapter 1: Escape!]

28j8pon.png

Oh crap he has facial hair we're screwed

o5xp2u.png

And our escapees have found more trouble. Good job

29z4tvb.png

I don't remember any of this

w9gnzt.png

And now we wait; for next turn...

246lxqg.png

WE GET BEARD

9q9uo9.png

You hair-less soldiers have nothin' on Gilliam

25q4y6a.png

GIVE WALL MORE WALLING CAPABILITIES

24o1t06.png

I mistimed this, but Gilliam missed. Fortunately so did the soldier

2d294di.png

DAMMIT FRANZ WALL DAMN YOU

10nw4n4.png

I thought this was a good position for Franz

2exu0ro.png

As you can see, it wasn't

2du9etl.png

Oh hell yeah. The beard is too strong

zlxo5e.png

Not bad at all

2elzhhg.png

I have a feeling this could end up going south real quick

25rypad.png

THE LANCES HAVE TOUCHED

2qvwmpz.png

Oh no reinforcements! Maybe I shouldn't have had the cursor on Eirika

6eztya.png

GILLIAM WALL

2qbhjro.png

Didn't catch his last level up. It was HP, speed and luck. Speed is speed so eh

309py14.png2rc8neu.png

YES GILLIAM! BEARD IS BETTER THAN MOUSTACHE

I don't see how this could go wrong. Nope

I can't remember why I took this. Maybe because the enemy's glowing?

The only reason why your son is alive right now is because I need him to recruit you

2ew1wlj.png

Ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

29py98y.png

Because Garcia apparently can't hit anything Moulder is now forced to take one for the team dammit

10hin3k.png

Time to do a tactical sort-of retreat. Also Beard nearly had his last shave

WALL NEEDS MORE WALLAGE

THE TREE IS SPEAKING TO ME! I didn't notice this at the time but Seth is clearly doing Eirika right now

kuk3m.png

Nope. Don't care

taoihf.png

I don't see how this is my problem

2ij3qdz.png

DAMMIT MY SHIPPING SIDE IS GETTING THE BETTER OF ME. OFF WE GO. I forgot to mention that Colm is the one who donkey punched Eirika in the last chapter

33u4fbr.png

Nope. When you're about 90 and you have that one strand of hair on your chin then maybe

x1glmq.png

Forgot to take a picture of the start of the map. Garcia actually hit something

8ytb9f.png

I'd do this, but then I won't be able to get free loot

Potential for facial-hair runs:

FE8: Dozla, Duessel, Garcia, Gerik, Gilliam, Moulder (6)

A pretty similar line-up to a Mountless run, but more restricted.

FE5: Conomore, Dagda, Xavier - sounds like Lunatic mode.

FE6: Astohl, Bartre, Dayan, Douglas, Marcus, Merlinus, Yodel - sounds pretty fun

FE7: Dorcas, Marcus, Athos - boooring.

FE9/10: Bastion, Devdad, Giffca, Largo, Mordecai, Tauroneo, Ulki, (not sure Janaff/Muarim/Lethe), Nolan, Caineghis, Skrimir, Nealuchi, Renning - not bad

Awakening - MU, Basilio. Has MU so I guess it's similar enough to a normal run, except there might be no Pair-Up.

That's actually pretty helpful in case I ever do decide on doing facial-hair runs for any of the other games

What about the difficulty, the use of the twins and grinding? I've only played through this once and that was a normal no-ground and I only lost Cormag at the end

Do a facial hair only marathon!

Also:

FE4: Hannibal, Oyfaye - not looking any good

FE11/12: Frey, Hardon, (do Wendell's eye brows count lol? they're pretty thick), Boah, Lorenz, Gotoh, Dice.

I think you should be able to beat the game (FE8) without using the Lords at all, no doubt there, and Eirika/Ephraim (go with Ephraim to enjoy your Duessel IMO) can always be rescued in seize objective maps.

Sweet. I was thinking Ephraim's route anyway because it's harder and difficultly is fun!

I'll try it on hard mode and see where it takes me. Recruiting Garcia is not going to be fun though unless I'm allowed to Vanessa-rescue the two, which I doubt I'm allowed to do

Never noticed the lack of fuzz in these games till now... It's just... wrong...

Of course, Hectors glorious beard in FE6 helps somewhat.

It's sad indeed. Damn you IS for making this even harder!

Garcia joins automatically if not recruited. Ross could die quickly, but it would be very difficult for Garcia to kick the bucket in that map even if you tried to arrange it.

I forgot about:

Tearring Saga - Bartz, Leonheart, Maerhen, Mintz, Rofarl, Yoda - kinda lacking in characters for a while but pretty fun later.

Ross has to live as well for Garcia to join.

That's actually very useful information

So is it possible to have them both survive and not rescue them on difficult? Considering I'm only using Gilliam and Moulder at the moment I wouldn't have thought so

just to save yourself from pointless resets i'd just rescue ross, its possible for him to survive without it, but its not really making the chapter take any more skill if its something like that that's out of your control.

If you can you might want to recruit garcia too, so he can get some exp in chapter 2 as well

I see. If it's out of my control (which it is) then I don't see why I can't

And of course I will; he has facial hair after all

Cheers for the advice anyway

Just edit Eirika's sprite to include a thick moustache or something.

Why not just take it a step further, and give her the full Athos beard, as long as her hair, or just make the hair go down the front instead.
