DodgeDusk Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 (edited) 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 You better not die. The world would lose an amazing goatee The plot gets decided here. C'mon Seth! Dammit Seth! Time to run away Oh look we were followed. Frail Princess, hold the line! 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!] Oh crap he has facial hair we're screwed And our escapees have found more trouble. Good job I don't remember any of this And now we wait; for next turn... WE GET BEARD You hair-less soldiers have nothin' on Gilliam GIVE WALL MORE WALLING CAPABILITIES I mistimed this, but Gilliam missed. Fortunately so did the soldier DAMMIT FRANZ WALL DAMN YOU I thought this was a good position for Franz As you can see, it wasn't Oh hell yeah. The beard is too strong Not bad at all I have a feeling this could end up going south real quick THE LANCES HAVE TOUCHED Oh no reinforcements! Maybe I shouldn't have had the cursor on Eirika GILLIAM WALL Didn't catch his last level up. It was HP, speed and luck. Speed is speed so eh YES GILLIAM! BEARD IS BETTER THAN MOUSTACHE NO GOATEE DIED THE BOULDER! [spoiler=Chapter 2: The Protected] Beard goes that way. Moustache follows him HOLY CRAP IT'S WOLVERINE Lessgo Vanessa rescue I don't see how this could go wrong. Nope Ally Garcia missed without even moving I can't remember why I took this. Maybe because the enemy's glowing? Dat tactical rescue chain Uhhh no you're not The only reason why your son is alive right now is because I need him to recruit you PROTECT BOULDER YES BEARD Ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Because Garcia apparently can't hit anything Moulder is now forced to take one for the team dammit Time to do a tactical sort-of retreat. Also Beard nearly had his last shave WALL NEEDS MORE WALLAGE GARCIA STAHP IT Tactical retreat. Garcia please don't screw this over for me Garcia why? But yeah Bone broke easily Building up dem supports It's strength and speed. I'll take it OH IT'S ALL KICKING OFF NOW Pfft. PFFT. Don't make me laugh kid Yay flashbacks And then they had sex Seriously though, apparently her bracelet is now gone and Seth now wants to get it. Ughh... [spoiler=Chapter 3: The Bandits of Borgo] Your country's screwed up man THE TREE IS SPEAKING TO ME! I didn't notice this at the time but Seth is clearly doing Eirika right now Nope. Don't care I don't see how this is my problem 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 Nope. When you're about 90 and you have that one strand of hair on your chin then maybe Forgot to take a picture of the start of the map. Garcia actually hit something I'd do this, but then I won't be able to get free loot ARMY MOVE DAMMIT GARCIA Best relationship ever It's strength. I'll take it Dafuq First double of the playlog. Also Garcia critted but I mistimed it STRENGTHCIA BEARD OFF DAMMIT GARCIA First level up for Moustache. Ehhhhhhhhhh TWO CHANCES TO KILL GARCIA WHY? Yeah screw Garcia I was getting impatient It's defence. Hopefully he gets some speed soon Oh yeah we have to seize the throne You know I actually really like this pairing Dude there was a mercenary there you would've died I shouldn't have to explain this WANT You can't insult Duessel he has greater facial hair than you This guy is so cool. Shame he's a bit of a dick And now our hairy friends carry on moving towards Grado. I wonder what they will discover... If you're still interested, I have the rest of the chapters down below as hyperlinks Chapter 4: Ancient Horrors Chapter 5: The Empire's Reach Chapter 5x: Unbroken Heart Chapter 6: Victims of War Chapter 7: Waterside Renvall Chapter 8: It's a Trap!

Espinosa Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Espinosa Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dwarfishh Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 Never noticed the lack of fuzz in these games till now... It's just... wrong... Of course, Hectors glorious beard in FE6 helps somewhat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Espinosa Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 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.

DodgeDusk Posted October 30, 2013 Author Share Posted October 30, 2013 (edited) 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 Edited October 30, 2013 by DodgeDusk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
General Horace Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Espinosa Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 Just edit Eirika's sprite to include a thick moustache or something. And I didn't know that bit about Garcia not joining the party if Ross is dead. I've always wanted the Hatchet, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dwarfishh Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 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.
