Screenshot FE3 Pseudo-Blind Adventure!

[DizzyWaddleDoo]

But seriously though, Radd has some pretty ballin' growths.

I guess you could say his growths are pretty rad! *badum tish*

[Robert Stewart]

Bantu 1-hits armours. Apparently he hits Res.

Actually, dragon breath ignores all defences in this game.

IIRC, in Book 2 indoor tiles did function correctly even in outdoor maps. Maybe it's a Book 1 thing, or just exclusive to that map.

It's peculiar to that map, or at least to that set of corridor tiles. In FE3 you can tell which tiles are "indoor" tiles because they have a "NoMount" attribute on them.

Alrighty, here’s another chapter. I tried to put this up earlier, but imgur’s been up and down all afternoon, so things weren’t really cooperating. Fortunately, I went ahead and played the next chapter during the time I wanted to be typing this, so it shouldn’t take too long to put out.

[spoiler=Chapter 9]

Home again, home again, jiggity-jig.

Holy balls, someone forgot to take their ugly pills this morning. Speaking of taking, though, I’ll be looking forward to taking that ring from him.

New to this stage are these ridiculously shoddy looking Ballistae. Seriously, that’s like, 4 logs and a hinge.

Also in this chapter is this village of death.

Here’s the crew this time. Still tons of filler units. I should probably just not use all my deployment slots.

Marth has a conversation with his imaginary friend Nyna.

I start things off by deciding that Vyland could use more Luck.

Here’s the enemy base. Oddly enough the boss is chilling around back while a generic Ballista holds the gate.

Shiida flies off to try and pick off some of those Mercs; Ogma follows behind. Everyone else heads around the mountains

Shiida kind of wrecks them. So much for being threatening.

I like how they didn’t bother animating long distance healing despite giving Physic infinite range

This was supposed to be a Maria level, but I pushed the A button too early because I was expecting stats to follow the level message. They didn’t.

More Shiida being awesome. If only she could somehow get a boost to her strength to let her do this with cheaper weapons, maybe by using some sort of convenient item or something.

Marth was one tile off of the village, so he hit up this house instead.

Yussss, Armourslayers for sale

Castor is just so, so good

Has anyone ever seriously used the word “evildoers” completely unironically?

This is Hardin lol

Vyland actually doubles things now, it’s kind of exciting

Sure, why not?

Marth does not approve of this plan

Oh look, it’s a weird kid.

That weird pink hat had me totally fooled

Surprise, it was Linde! What a shocker, who’d have expected her to show up the chapter after Nyna randomly brings her up?

Then she throws off her clothes Team Rocket style, revealing a pink dress and hair ornaments and the like

I decide to throw her into the arena since she’s never going to reach the vanguard from way down here with her 6 move.

I do like that she’s got a pretty sprite, complete with Blonde hair which is possibly a colour only used on her?

The only problem is I keep thinking she's the enemy because every other one of my units are generic blue guys and she's bright red instead

More free units! Jorge is just kinda here.

He’s kinda nice, but he’s no Castor.

Ballistae look a fair bit more useful in combat than in their unit portrait things. It’s kinda hilarious watching them throw tiny rocks three feet ahead of them, though.

Vyland pulls off another stellar level

Now that’s how you do a level, Maria. Pretty much the two best stats.

I think he’s maybe a little crazy

nope

And a meh level on the counter

Wyrmslayers are fantastic

Suck it, Shiida

I’m just gonna leave these here for comparison’s sake

Booooo

One day you’ll gain a real stat, I just know it.

And seize

I wonder where we possibly could be?

[Baldrick]

He’s kinda nice, but he’s no Castor.

Yes, it wasn't until the DS games that he was able to use magic.

Now that’s how you do a level, Maria. Pretty much the two best stats.

What are you talking about? That's not luck/weapon level...

[Oshimos]

Pre-chapter non sequitur: I tried Vyland on Akinator and he failed. I was disappointed. He came up with Kent, Seth, and Sain, instead. (Also, he failed at Muarim despite beelining to "Does he have green hair/is he a tiger". Mordy's hair is blue, dammit!)

[spoiler=Chapter 10]

I have no shots before these guys, so I guess either the opening was boring or there wasn’t one since it would pretty much have been “Marth and co. enter the castle that he just seized”.

Also, tubby little Generals are adorable.

Here’s the gang this time. For the first time since starting I didn’t get to bring everyone I wanted.

Probably because this gang of losers gets forced on me at the start of the map

Here they are, in all their splendour. I seem to recall reading before that Macellan is up there for worst character in the series, too, but that might have just been in 1. I don’t really remember, and I’m avoiding looking things up until I’m finished, but needless to say none of these guys will be getting much screentime, save maybe Boah.

Also, this is totally how you do attacking defenceless hostages in a cage. None of that archer who gives up garbage with Lilina in 6.

This is the optimal defensive formation, imo.

Meanwhile, the attack force heads out.

This hallway is 1 tile wide. :S

The hostages come under attack. Midia fares a little less well than the knights.

Vyland has become moderately competent

I move Midia out of the way and thankfully she gets ignored for the rest of the map

Ogma continues to be really, really good

Slowly coming to the rescue

Turns out Manaketes get a sweet new portrait when they transform, too.

Ogma was going to save Team Worst Knights, but a thief was going after my treasure, so I figured they could wait.

Linde gets her first level. She had one with Strength and Skill in it too at first, but then Castor died to a 2% Thunder crit. :I

Magic looks pretty impressive despite its simplicity in this game.

He’s 16 now, btw. He’s been getting a lot of 4 stat levels, so you can’t really see.

Gotta love infinite range Physic. It almost makes up for healers having the lowest move in the game.

Marth is gonna have to rescue them himself

And by that, I mean Castor’s going to bait them all. This is 10 for him.

Treasure part 1

Turns out door opening and chest opening are both free actions, so I could do both on one turn.

Very slightly rigged double crit by Vyland. Ricard was exactly 1-hit by the Sniper, so he kinda had to die, and I didn’t want to give it to Ogma again.

Healer level

The only stat booster that Vyland doesn’t care about

I threw Vyland into combat with this guy to see what would happen and he kind just wrecked him.

I am definitely not going anywhere near that dragon

This one will be going to Vyland, despite him not really needing it.

:I

There are some soldiers guarding a chest in a courtyard to the east, so I have big V take them out

!!!!!!!

Told you so

Holy wow, boots already. Damn, those are some ugly shoes.

Wait

No

Stop

Hand plz

It’s not too late

Nooooooo

END OF CHAPTER

This feels really early for legendary weapons.

I like that they just kinda left Parthia behind.

Time to give Castor that Manual, I guess.

Edited September 28, 2014 by Oshimos

[Oshimos]

After another awkwardly long pause, here’s another chapter:

[spoiler=Chapter 11]

Jerks

These guys are coming along this time. Boah is taking Wendell’s place since he’s equal or better in every stat.

Jiol’s not taking the Vyland Gang seriously.

Marth? Marth who?

These guys are chilling on the map right by the start

Also this Sniper. He’s kind of a dick.

First thing’s first, Castor brushes up on his bow skills, so he can use Parthia now.

I play it safe and keep most of my army out of his range.

Marth had the Levin Sword so that he could actually do something while still heading towards his goal

I was so focused on the Sniper that I totally forgot about this guy.

Neither Minerva nor Marth could talk to the Peg sisters, and they didn’t attack, so I guess they’re gonna recruit themselves

Marth heads off to the village

Thief utility. I’m thinking lowering bridges probably happens more in this game than in 4 when it only happens that one random time

Astram get

Little does she know she’s headed straight for the bench as soon as this chapter’s done

WHY WAS HE SO DAMN TANKY

If there’s a village talking about the Silver Card, that can only mean one thing…

I forgot to unequip the Levin Sword from Marth, and he ripped through the archers in the building he’s got to skirt to get at the village.

Astram proves his worth already. I’m glad at least some of the myriad new units are useable from the get go.

I was right, they pull a Clarine and just talk to Marth themselves

Ogma gets a level off of an Armour

Progress report: pretty slow going

Guess what just got looted

This guy was guarding the Silver Card room, so I had Vyland and his 10 dismounted move take care of him.

Camus was in the village. He has a pretty sweet theme that plays while he’s talking, too.

(It was Arcsage, number 21 here, if you want to take a listen. I guess it isn't really his theme after all, but it's still pretty.)

I know Catria’s a bit better with training, but I just personally like Palla better, so I unload Catria’s stuff onto her and send her off to start gaining EXP. Sorry Shiida, you’re peg number 2 now.

I wanted to avoid using it, but I had to rely on Operation Ogma Warp yet again to stop the Thief from making off with my card since the other one was blocking Vyland.

Minerva heads down to take the card off Ogma’s hands

Meanwhile the fighting squad is almost at the main castle

Suddenly Pegasus reinforcements

They’re mostly just easy EXP for Palla and Castor

Unfortunately Marth doesn’t fare as well

Vyland takes out the last threatening enemy on the map

800g Silver Lances. I love the Silver card.

I finish off the enemies in the boss room with Linde and Palla and Castor take out all of the reinforcements until they stop spawning. Maria gets a stealthy shit level in the middle.

I want to raise Linde, so I have her chip at Jiol while the above are beating down Pegs

Eventually, he falls. Is the Sheema line in the NES version?

This chapter feels kind of like it went on forever

Off to magic town. And a desert, iirc. :\

Edited October 6, 2014 by Oshimos

[bottlegnomes]

Damn, your Palla is crazy speed blessed.

[Topazd]

The Sheema line was only in Book 1. It was also omitted in Shadow Dragon, even though New Mystery of the Emblem was made.

[Oshimos]

A bit of a short chapter this time, but here’s Khadein:

[spoiler=Chapter 12]

Good thing everyone in the entire game has something like 3% Res growth

Ooga chaka ooga chaka ooga chaka elfire

I’m back to getting to use a full page worth of units again

Oh snap. It’s Gharnef, and I don’t have Starlight yet.

Good thing he’s monologue-ing about his weakness to nobody in particular

I should probably rearrange my units so that people I want in the front actually are, instead of leaving them in recruitment order.

Vyland 1-hits mages best char best levels

Castor also 1-hits them. 16 HP 2 Def is kind of laughable

I just bought a bunch of heals, so I have Maria use them on nothing in particular in an attempt to level her up faster.

Things start off slowly as always

Oh jeez he moves

Pegs have 6 Res, presumably as a class bonus, which means that half of the enemies on the map can’t actually do anything to either of them

Everyone else really wants to stay out of their way. Especially with Gharnef on his way here.

She tears through the mages; not so much the dragons.

She gets a tanky level, though, which is appreciated.

I used an Excalibur on this guy because nobody else could really reach him since it’s a desert chapter

Gee, thanks dude, I was just gonna throw my guys on him and hope one of them could do something

Boah got a 0 stat level, but I missed it yet again

Everyone’s pretty much just fleeing from Gharnef

Castor too stronk

This thief looted this from the room Gharnef starts at. Fortunately, enemies drop all of their held items on defeat in 3, not just their last one.

Unfortunately, Gharnef’s a dick.

(Actually, this is way preferable to him bum rushing my main force)

Meanwhile, on the other side of the map, Vyland to the rescue!

…Or not

Palla’s a strong, independent woman who don’t need no man anyway

I sent Minerva up here to do some shopping and then proceeded to completely forget about her after this turn

Thank god. I was starting to think you actually had to do this chapter with this guy just hanging around

Some levels

With Gharnef gone, Shiida got to take out this guy, too.

Shiida left these guys with 4 HP; Palla 1-hits them.

YUSSSSSS BEST VYLAND

Palla’s levels are a lot less swell than they were last chapter

I thought I remembered reading somewhere that the legendary weapons double EXP gain, and it looks like that’s true. Also, Parthia has a cool fire effect that I wasn’t expecting.

Ricard loots the other chest

Then Vyland pops the book for good measure

And that’s the map. Desert chapters aren’t that bad when you don’t need to walk through 70% of them.

*Cue the pretty song*

Dang

Get some balls; show them to an old man. Got it.

[Oshimos]

A week later, here’s the next one. Some exciting things happen this time!

[spoiler=chapter 13]

Umm, that is definitely not what happened

Time to take back Marth’s hometown

New enemy alert

I actually did the thing and made some deployment order changes

Marth talks to Nyna before the battle. He mentions Elice too, but I didn’t really care and didn’t cap it

Most of my army’s going to head through the building with Xane in it (he’s here, btw), and four guys are heading west to clog some forts and protect the villages from the thief

One of these Dragon Knights fared a little better than the other

Golly dang, I love the Parthia

I 1-hit the other two with Excalibur and a lucky crit from Palla

The knights that had left from the main enemy base doubled back because Palla moved onto land, thus making her the closest enemy. The AI is really easy to manipulate in this game.

Ogma clears the way to recruit Xane.

In SD I always made him into an extra Ballistician, but since Jake and Back got cut I’ll have to make do with a ridiculously squishy extra Vyland

Marth had to tank the other Hero in here since Xane wasn’t doing it. Her fares pretty well.

I’m abusing the Parthia on garbage promoted enemies because the stupidly easy training is worth the loss of a few heavy shots later, imo.

If only they spelled it out for you like that in Binding Blade.

More Parthia

I’m also still Healing with Maria every turn. Hopefully she gives me a non-awful level one of these days.

Vyland and Vyland Jr. head out to tank these cavs

That’s 20 for Vyland, and another Strength level to boot

Guess who forgot to check their weapons first? This almost went really badly for Xane.

Also for Vyland

The promised hour has come

This would be a lot more epic if it wasn’t identical to Xane’s transformation sequence

Mobility down?! The other boosts are pretty sweet, though.

Here’s his stats now. His Move actually stayed the same.

(He’s competent, I’m so proud!)

Crit levels

I remember Arran being pretty awful in SD, and I’ve already got a swell Paladin, so Samson get

I buy a butt-ton of killer weapons in the Altean village

Ogma is super close to 20, so I stick him in the arena and leave the boss crew for Castor

Vyland takes a Riderbane to the face from the boss’ friend, then chips him down in Knight-mode

Then Castor crits him anyway. It was a Speed level, but I missed it.

I buy a bunch of these because while trying to figure out why you’d ever take these over Thunder I realized they’re effective against Fire Dragons.

Vyland makes a risky chip

Then Castor pulls off a crit. Looks like EXP caps at 99. :(

He needed 20 exp to level, so I pulled out the Iron Bow and sicced him on the Bishop

Promo time number 2. He’s hella strong.

Altean Villages

Heal level

Ogma finally hits 20

Ogma too stronk

This whole time Marth has been running here from Samson’s village. Remember when I thought his 7 Move was huge?

Home again, home again, jiggity jig.

[Oshimos]

Moving right along, here’s the next one:

[spoiler=Chapter 14]

Time to kick some housecrashers out

The Crew. Xane’s got a bunch of stuff for various scenarios

This chapter starts off with a villain monologue. Something about shouting “Regret!” at people seems kind of cool to me, though I’m not sure why.

Also he starts off by transforming on the first player phase. It’s not like you could make it to him, since he’s through a door and tons of tiles away.

Also, that is some sick spriting, you’ve gotta admit.

Two can play at the transforming game, bubs

Most of the crew heads over to cut off the thieves, but a few stay back by the door to the boss.

Vyland leads the charge with his 10 move. He looks a lot more impressive as a Paladin, even if he’s not actually taking advantage of his promo bonuses while dismounted

There’s a dragon up there that would give me trouble otherwise, so I swap this over so he can be taken care of.

Marth and Wendell snag much better levels than Vyland’s, on account of them actually having stats in them.

“Ensnared”

Meanwhile, Castor and Xane have finally moved into position to take care of the guys by the boss. Sure am glad I just promoted and can take advantage of that newfound high move!

I did not take this guy into account in my plans

Castor’s a bit behind enemy Snipers in Def, but destroys them in attack. Literally.

This’ll be nice to have. Sadly, Xane doesn’t gain EXP while transformed. Not that he really needs anything other than HP.

Still a jerk

No longer a jerk

Samson’s proving his worth already, though he’s definitely no Ogma.

Hello

Feeding kills to Linde

Also, I’m still blowing heals every turn with Maria

These guys are all getting fed to Linde. I kinda need a decent magic user for Gharnef

Levels

Also loot. I’m jazzed about the second Warp.

Everyone’s on their way

More levels

The Wyrmslayer is ridiculously strong, jsyk.

Progress shots.

There was an extremely conspicuous door to nowhere right up here in the chapter that you get the VIP card. HMMMMM…

Gasp!

I was hoping for Promo Items (I still haven’t gotten a Whip or a Bishop Ring yet) or stat up items, but instead it was just weapons and sticks. I bought some Physics and some Shavers, but the rest (Rapiers, Bolaganones, Barriers, and I think something else, I forgot to cap it) weren’t really worth it. I also sold my extra Hero Crest because Ogma’s the only Hero I need.

Apparently you get the Gold that enemies pilfer even though it doesn’t show up in their inventories. I blew a warp in an earlier chapter to stop a thief from getting away with some gold, so it’s good to know.

Last item and last level, now I can finally seize.

Ya did good, kid.

I’m imagining this sounds a lot cooler in Japanese or at least kind of warrants being in green somehow

[Oshimos]

We’re nearing the climax of book 1, but to be honest this chapter is anything but climactic. In fact, it was almost laughably easy.

[spoiler=Chapter 15]

Fane: noun. A temple.

Thanks, dictionary.com!

And by “fierce” they mean “so insignificant that it happened offscreen”

I’m pretty sure “A new story is about to unfold” is the tagline for one of the seasons of Digimon.

Tiki’s the boss this time. Dat HP.

This chapter is just a bunch of closed off rooms with a few enemies interspersed

Here’s the crew. Two thieves because this would take forever otherwise, and Bantu for Tiki

And by ‘not provoke’ he means ‘mop the floor with’

Pretty much “If you didn’t bring Bantu please reset now”

One magical girl transformation later…

The first door is not a winner

Fortunately the hunter was shit

Vyland’s boots let him cover crazy ground

Hallway’s clear

Second door is a winner

Linde has to use Aura to hurt anything because she’s sitting on 1 Srength

Finally. Guiding Rings are even more scarce here than in 6.

A ton of thieves rushed out and I guess they were supposed to cause havoc by opening all the doors on me, but I kinda beat them all before they could do anything.

All except 1, anyway. :S

I’ll be taking that, tyvm

Loot

Stick level

Castor remains ludicrously good

Gee thanks game, now I know just what it does.

(I checked my screenshots to be sure; it’s the one that stops crits.)

Vyland gains an actual stat!

Aww yiss, doubled EXP

Sadly, it doesn’t seem to work on staves. :(

More loot

Pretty much a perfect level

I opened this door thinking it would be a level 5 hunter like in the other two, threw Linde on top of him, then realized that it was actually a sniper. He exactly 1-hits Ricard, too.

Best use of Warp in the game

“Please wake up” “Okay”

One room left to raid

I approve of both of these

She promoted from Shiida into Minerva

One last staff level…

Time for a party

Those 80s office lady shoulders are fantastic

It’s the second coming of Vyland

Gharnef doesn’t stand a chance.

Time to make like a tree and GTFO

Time to trade over the fantastic orbs after not even a whole chapter of having them so that I can get a sub-par spell! Yeah!

[Robert Stewart]

The starsphere doesn't boost EXP, FYI; It boosts all growths by 30% (in this game).

[Oshimos]

The starsphere doesn't boost EXP, FYI; It boosts all growths by 30% (in this game).

Yeah, I realized that partway through playing this chapter. I think I must have gotten it confused with Mercurius with regards to the effect.

[spoiler=chapter 16]

I can’t see anything except that similarly shaped island near Crescent in FFV when I look at Grust.

These two bros are on the map this time. Camus looks significantly more threatening than anything I’ve faced yet.

There are quite a few enemies this time around, and clustered together too. Plus, tons of mountains.

Here’s the crew this time

.

Poor Nyna; everyone knows Camus x Teeta is canon except for her.

Turns out I had more stat boosters chilling in my convoy; Maria gets this one.

Palla clears this guy out before he can pose a problem

I take a defensive formation because my first attempt resulted in a very dead Vyland

The Riderbane is pretty brutal; that level, not so much

Palla has switched from magic tank to physical tank. 15 Def is kinda crazy

Vyland finally makes a break for it

Magic feels pretty weak in this game, even with a pimped out caster.

This is where I realized that the Starsphere boosts growths and not EXP. That’s everything except Def and HP.

There’s something oddly satisfying about beating people up with Maria, since she’s like, 8.

Vyland gets another blank level. :\

I like how when Tiki moves, rather than just moving she first shifts into flying mode and makes a zooming noise

I didn’t bring a thief, so I’ve got to take the longer way around

First level as a dragon girl, and it’s pretty unimpressive

Not this time, thief.

Nice

Holy balls, two for one village!

More like three for one with the sword. If you miss this village you’re pretty much SOL.

Marth stabs that thief, too

Still the best staff baby

Here’s Palla, by the way. I couldn’t really show her when she first promoted because she was dismounted, so it wouldn’t have meant much

Oh yes

Vyland’s 10 move lets him cross mountains while mounted. It’s pretty sweet.

About now I decide that most of my army’s not going to be much help and should go plug some forts before I’m drowning in reinforcements

Too stronk

Maria hands off the Starsphere to Vyland, since Linde won’t be making it through the mountains.

Tiki level. Unlike Bantu, she can actually gain stats

I kinda forgot about Lorenz. Conveniently, he dodged two 35% critical chances

Lorenz is the one on the left; Shiida’s a square off or making it to him. :S

When Marth gets too close, they have a spontaneous conversation.

Lorenz get. I think he’s the last character?

Random single stat levels

Vyland’s first Starsphere level is less exciting than I’d hoped it would be.

I had to get into Gradivus range to take out his Paladin pals

Maria patches him up each time.

STARSPHERE BEST ITEM

(I also realize around here that my 6 use Riderbane hasn't run out and remember that the Starsphere also stops weapons from deteriorating. My point above still stands.)

Here’s a status update on Big V. This is probably the best Vyland anyone has ever had.

She keeps getting this level and it never gets any less impressive

I poked Camus with Vyland, but then Maria ended up in his range for healing.

Don’t mess with stick baby

Beautiful

I buy some killer shit before I go

This chapter feels like it took forever

Psh, Camus is fine, stop blubbering.

[Oshimos]

Here’s the fourth last chapter of Book 1. The next few should all be out pretty quickly.

[spoiler=Chapter 17]

Sounds like a pretty chill place

Nothing can ever be easy, can it?

All of the enemies are clumped up in this little mountain fort thing. The roofs are impassable for fliers, so it’s pretty manageable

Half of these guys are completely extraneous

Suddenly Michalis is being portrayed as a sympathetic character or something

It must be important because it’s in pretty text

Gotoh keepin it real

Who needs strategy when you can just stick Vyland into the fray?

His first victim

Oh shit, Michalis moves

Psh, no big

So, um… I kinda wasn’t actually expecting that to work.

What’s the point in giving me the Iote’s shield this late I the game? Even being overly generous, there can’t be more than ten archers left in the whole game, and that’s not even including dismounting in the picture.

Vyland has more Defence than the Pegs can pierce so Ogma’s gonna mop them up instead

Levels

I visited the village without the orbs and you get this convo. The village doesn’t close after, so you can still go back and give them to him.

20/20 Vyland. Aww yiss, look at those sick stats. #1 best Paladin plz nerf

Last sphere level

Castor takes them so that he can trade them off to Marth

I am the worst at remembering to use shit

Sad orbless levels

Not that he really needs it any more.

Goodbye balls :(

Starlight get

I was complacent and thought I just had to run Marth to the castle when these guys showed up. :S

Last few levels

Time to take on Gharnef

I had a few more screenshots but imgur refused to upload the last few, and this one works pretty well anyway, so see you next time for Thabes!

[Oshimos]

Now that I no longer have a monopoly on FE3 LPs, I guess I should step things up a notch. :P

[spoiler=Chapter 18]

This chapter starts off with this crazy wiggly transition because Marth and co are warping to Thabes. It’s a nice touch.

Ancient high-tech cities in medieval settings are really, really cliché, but I guess it gets a pass for being an old game and also not really being plot relevant

Like, a third of the enemies on this map are Gharnefs. Also the fakes are really shitty. Not that the real one is very much better, though. Like seriously, 8 RES? Even the clones do better than that.

Speaking of shitty, check the stats on Starlight compared to Thoron. It’s just, entirely worse. They could have given it something interesting to make you want to use it outside of that one battle against Imhullu!Gharnef

Vyland’s unmounted level 20 stats, because he’s still my special snowflake

These guys are fighting this time

Maybe instead of waiting, you should have just come and hit me when I couldn’t possibly do anything to you

Starting off with some levels

I’m just kind of lazily spreading out here. Nothing is really threatening

Marth hits the damage cap against a Gharnef

More levels

Versus… real Gharnef. Fight!

…I forgot to switch Maria’s weapon.

That’s more like it.

We interrupt this final battle with the antagonist for these random levels by some side characters

I wish these guys got some unique dialogue. Instead it’s just Gharnef taking potshots

Bam, the super powerful dark wizard just got beaten by a twelve-year old.

He says a bunch of stuff but it auto-scrolled and I wasn’t expecting it so I only got like, half of it

Meteor looks pretty sweet. I like green as a choice instead of the red that pretty much all other games with meteors use.

He’s strong enough that nothing really matters anymore

Loot

Last Gharnef down

And that’s the last two enemies

Might as well, she’s not getting to 20 in two chapters

Promoting from a cool unique sprite to Rena clone #3

Oh man, compared to Maria she’s terrible. I know it’s not really a fair comparison, but I’m pretty sure she should have more than 4 Strength at very least

More loot

Plus, Marth might as well get at least one stat booster this run

Just two more to go

Surprise, it’s Marth’s sister! She feels kind of tacked on, imo, but I can’t help but like her.

Also, I know it’s a thing that happens all the time in Japanese, but I’m pretty sure no one in English refers to their siblings as “sister” or “brother.” (Or especially not “big bro” <_<)

Is it ever explained in this one that only Princesses can use it?

Like their dad! Oh wait…

[Robert Stewart]

Now that I no longer have a monopoly on FE3 LPs, I guess I should step things up a notch. :P

Yeah, you're gonna have to make up for the fact that your run has 200% less Shiida than mine. :3

[Darkpaladin109]

Yeah, you're gonna have to make up for the fact that your run has 200% less Shiida than mine. :3

It has 100% more Vyland though :v

Also, man, I can't wait till you get to book two..

[Robert Stewart]

It has 100% more Vyland though :v

Also, man, I can't wait till you get to book two..

Sorry, couldn't hear you over all my WINNING!

Assuming you meant me, yeah, das gun be fun.

Edited October 29, 2014 by shinpichu

[Oshimos]

Remember when I said I’d have these last few done quickly? Apparently that was a bald-faced lie. I do plan on having the final chapter and unit recap done tomorrow, though, and then Book 2 will start, with some more exciting changes.

[spoiler=Chapter 19]

The preamble. Things are finally coming to a close.

This looks like the pose someone on America’s Next Top Model would make if they were trying to look “fierce”

Another full page crew

Here’s a whole bunch of plot shoehorned in at the last minute. I’m not sure whether the Binding Shield bit was just added for 3 or if it was in the other versions too, since it makes sense but isn’t really touched on.

Xemcel’s real stats. 18 Attack and 0 AS isn’t really all that threatening.

There’s an armoury right at the start; I buy a few Wyrmslayers because dragons are the only threatening enemies left

Also this old guy tells me about Aum. Not like I’d let anyone die in the first place, so it’s not really all that important.

This sucker didn’t get a chance to transform in time

Palla might be in a bit of trouble, though. It’s a good thing all these dragons have 0 AS.

She dodged, regardless

Tiki has actual defence against other dragons and it makes them kind of pitiful

Linde gets a level against one of the few human enemies. Is it ever explained why these guys are working with the genocidal dragons? Is it mind control?

I don’t know why they even bothered to make a long way around if you can skip like, half the chapter this way.

Everyone is dismounted because Wyrmslayers

Booooo

Tiki gets to tank the dudes by the boss to make him more manageable

Pretty decent levels

This guy was causing havoc so I sicced Castor on him

This thief is making away with this priceless lategame treasure

Just imagine someone trying to be threatening to you while standing there with their hand awkwardly up on their forehead like that. It just doesn’t work.

Also he gets his ass handed to him by Palla without so much as scratching her

WHEN DRAGONS DIE THEY USE ALL CAPS FOR SOME REASON

Elice is good as an extra Physic bot and not much else

Might as well test out my sparkly new Falchion. It’s got the same strength as a Wyrmslayer, which was kinda disappointing, tbh

And that’s the penultimate chapter done.

I know they’re supposed to be red irises on black sclerae, but I can’t see his eyes as anything other than two creepy red LEDs.
