Xenomic Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 (edited) So here I am, finally playing a Fire Emblem game. I was told to NOT record any Fire Emblem games though by a good amount of people, but I felt like doing it anyways. It just...feels funner to share my experiences with others than to play it on my own, or so I feel. There will be commentary for this LP (which I hope doesn't make people not want to watch it...), and I'll try my best to liven up the mood at the very least (I'm not super great with commentary but...). Please refrain from spoilers for the most part, as I don't want to be spoiled on Ephraim's path specifically (I have read a Let's Play for the game, and only read from start up through Eirika's path fully). If you want to help, feel free to give some advice here and there! I'm hoping to hear from you guys! ^^ I'm also hoping that the video quality is at least semi-decent too. ^^; In this first video, we just go through the Prologue. Nothing interesting really happens, but we gotta get through it nonetheless! Tomorrow, and each day from on, should be at least one new video for each chapter. I've played through the game myself a couple nights back, up to chapter 5, so I kinda know what to do up until then. Past that? No idea! Also, vote for either Eirika's route or Ephraim's route first! I'll be making a backup save when I get to chapter 8, so that once I complete one of their routes, I can just use the other save and go from there without having to restart the game up to chapter 8 again. ^^;; The video will be in the next post as I'm having issues with converting the blasted thing (three times it got stuck at 99% in Windows Movie Maker...3 hours lost...) Hope you all enjoy the LP, and hopefully it won't be too taxing on me! ^^ Edited February 11, 2014 by Xenomic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N7隊長ジョン Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 I will be waiting for this LP Xeno! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenomic Posted December 16, 2013 Author Share Posted December 16, 2013 Copy/pasted from video description: "Welcome to my first ever Fire Emblem LP, and first Fire Emblem game in general! It's not 100% blind, as I've read a LP of the game (quite a while back though) up through Eirika's route, and I've played up to chapter 5 myself, but once past there, we get into blind territory! This is just the simple Prologue, nothing exciting really. I do my best to try and explain the game mechanics here and there...well, TRY being the keyword! Again, I'm no Fire Emblem expert, and may who may watch my series will probably be appalled by how terrible I am! But I will make it through, dead or alive!" I do apologize for not getting this up earlier. 3 failed attempts in Windows Movie Maker (stuck at 99% each time), and one failed attempt in Camtasia (due to me not knowing what I was doing) = 4 hours wasted trying to convert the video. Then 1 more hour to actually convert it. *Sigh* Well, the more you know I guess... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PM ME MARIANNE ART Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 Hey, it's better than a blind run of FE5! Who would ever do that... oh wait a second. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenomic Posted December 16, 2013 Author Share Posted December 16, 2013 Probably me at some point lol. If I actually cared about FE5. ^^; Sadly, for me the only Fire Emblems I care about right now are: FE8 (this game), FE3 (I wanna play as Tikiiiiii!), FE11 (can't record, dunno how to record emulator), FE12 (same dealio), and FE13 (Would LOVE to play and LP, but don't have a 3DS and don't have a Dazzle...so now Nowi, Nah, and Tiki for me again ;___; ).

Rainbow Skittles Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 Your voice is.... ehhh I can't really tell what you're saying sometimes (although that's probably the recording equipment). Otherwise, good LP! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenomic Posted December 16, 2013 Author Share Posted December 16, 2013 Actually, that's due to me. I have a speech impediment (due to being a bilateral cleft palate), so there's really not much I can do about that. I really try though. ;_; Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N7隊長ジョン Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 When is your next episode Xeno? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenomic Posted December 16, 2013 Author Share Posted December 16, 2013 I'm going to try to do one each day. It'll be a while before I get to it as I tend to do all of my online stuff first, then video (if I'm in the mood). And then it takes about 30 minutes to an hour to convert the video so...yeah. ^^; Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N7隊長ジョン Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 Alright then, I'll be waiting :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenomic Posted December 17, 2013 Author Share Posted December 17, 2013 In this episode, I restart once because RNG! But really, it was for the better. I think Eirika got some good level ups out of this (can't say the same for Franz...), and overall...I think I'm getting strategy down more! I was afraid that Eirika was going to die again though...good thing I walled up! Also, next video I may rego over stats as I have a little explanation of sorts of the stats from a friend of mine. Hopefully they're correct? ^^; Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenomic Posted December 18, 2013 Author Share Posted December 18, 2013 In this chapter, everything goes super well! I'm honestly surprised because this is the chapter I restarted the most, mostly because either Ross or Vanessa died a lot. But it went swimmingly this time! I do apologize for the commentary as it sounds more nasally than normal...The following is in text format for those who can't understand what I'm saying. This is from a conversation that I got into about stats, and well..do correct me if I'm wrong on these at all. ^^;Strength/Magic - each point increases attack by 1Skill - each point increases chance to hit by 2%, also determines how often certain abilities activate if the character has an abilitySpeed - each point increases chance to evade by 2%, if your speed is at least 4 points higher (don't quote me on this number) than the enemy, your attacks will be doubledLuck - reduces enemy critical chance by 1%, increases evade by 1%Defense - reduces damage taken from physical attacks by 1Resist - reduces damage taken from magical attacks by 1Move - how many spaces you can move. certain terrain types are more difficult to move over for certain units; for example, mounted units cannot move through forests very well. flying units ignore movement costs but also ignore terrain bonusesConstitution - if the weight of the equipped weapon is higher than this, the unit suffers a Speed penaltyAid - if this value is higher than the Constitution of a unit, this unit may Rescue the other unit, protecting it from harm but suffering a heavy Skill and Speed penaltyTrv - if a unit is being Rescued, it will be listed hereAffinity - supposedly, each map has an affinity tied to it that will boost similar characters' attributes, or units with similar affinities will grant a bonus to eachother. I don't really know for sureCondition - any status effects will be shown hereWeapon ranks - determines how strong of a weapon you can equip, also grants bonuses to attack, hit, and crit per rankAttack - Strength/Magic + Might of equipped weapon + weapon rank bonusesHit - the chance of an attack landing, determined by adding the character's innate hit chances from weapon ranks and Skill with the hit rate of the weapon being usedRange - how many tiles away an attack may be executed. line of sight rules do not existCrit - chance to deal triple damage on attackAvoid - subtracted from Hit to determine the chance of the attack connecting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenomic Posted December 20, 2013 Author Share Posted December 20, 2013 In this episode, everything once again goes perfectly, and I get some great level ups. Seriously, I'm getting some REALLY good vibes about this game now. Maybe this once-a-day Raocow method I'm doing is the best thing I could've done!

Xenomic Posted December 21, 2013 Author Share Posted December 21, 2013 In this episode, we...restart once because bad luck happens. And then get a bunch of crappy levels! Oh, and GILLIAM GOT SPEED! OH MAN! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garland Chaos Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 Was this episode recorded before or after I explained the attack speed and doubling formulas to you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenomic Posted December 21, 2013 Author Share Posted December 21, 2013 Before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garland Chaos Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 Before. Thought so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenomic Posted December 22, 2013 Author Share Posted December 22, 2013 In this episode, I clear the fight after little problems! Well...after having terrible luck on some hitrates and whatnot. And Franz being a pro. Also, information on the magic types! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenomic Posted December 23, 2013 Author Share Posted December 23, 2013 In this episode, we murder everything while not having a whole lot to say about the game! Really, I didn't have much to talk about at all, which kinda sucks seeing as how long this chapter was. But tomorrow, I will have a bit to talk about, assuming I don't have to restart the chapter...

Xenomic Posted December 24, 2013 Author Share Posted December 24, 2013 In this episode, I restart a bunch because fog of war maps suck! And also, I started learning how to do Fire Emblem-styled maps using Tiled! Mountans are a pain though...ugh! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chococoke Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 Your trash talking is awesome, definitely keep that up. Also, how/when did Seth die? Or did you just not deploy him this chapter? I'm too lazy to look over your earlier videos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenomic Posted December 24, 2013 Author Share Posted December 24, 2013 I just don't deploy Seth as I'm trying to keep everyone else leveled up. Granted, Seth would've made some of these maps far easier than they should've been (like this map. Screw this map lol). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenomic Posted December 25, 2013 Author Share Posted December 25, 2013 In this episode, there is a lot of dudes who need to die! And ballistas as well...freakig ballistas. Oh, and Franz being Franz while Gilliam SMASH badguys. While Ross and Eirika do a whole lot of nothing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenomic Posted December 26, 2013 Author Share Posted December 26, 2013 In this chapter, we take a really long time to finish it because so many dudes! This is like the longest video I've ever done I think, outside of my FF Review! Oi vey! Also, lots of Eirika-like levels! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
