It's funny because I've successfully made poison lances activate a flinch reflex in Moniker's cranial structure.

Trolling success right there.

These poison lances were awful.

[RandomSwordmaster]

These poison lances were awful.

Poison ANYTHING made me cry....

[TheMoniker]

No, the bard animation comes from Elphin, from FE6.

Not "stolen", I guess. :D

Dangit... I guess I'll have to remove it from the list, since I remember you being right now. I never did play FE6...

The Reckoning: Episode 14: Chapter 21: Moniker's Massive Murder Spree

And thus, we have the only presence of Thria in FE7!

Before we get started, we have an OBLIGATORY VILLAIN SCENE! I wonder, will we see Nino?

(We don't, so I skipped it.)

No Nils! DON'T RANDOMLY DIE!

That's one question answered; Heath is totally unchanged. Let's see his stats, maybe we'll get an OP flier?

"THEY'RE ENTERING THE FORT AT ALL POINTS, PREPARE YOURSELVES MEN"

Here's the team! Yeah, I'm leaving Granite. After seeing how good some of my other units are upon promotion, I don't want her sucking up XP until later on...

Speaking of XP, I'm almost ENTIRELY certain that the XP rate, of EVERYTHING, was reduced. I feel like I should have a few non-healer units promoted by now, but almost everyone is hovering around the ~15 mark! And now, my beautiful stars are dropping away like flies... yeah. This is honestly an annoyance, not some "difficulty increaser". Especially since my units are OP anyway!

The position!

YES. Why does everyone always use that same line!?

Here we go! Honestly, this was always one of my favorite chapters in the original game. I wouldn't call this chapter "ruined" as much as "trivialized", but whatever.

I think he's normal, or at least relatively so. We DO want that Knight crest, definitely.

Hey Heath.

And... he's normal! Which means terrible, because everyone else is so much better! We don't need some silly flier. We'll do it with just the awesome units we have!

(Note the second mine. We now have access to (2infinity) mine glitching! Yay!)

(You guys are so lucky I'm not just trivializing the whole lp)

The knights are still as slightly-helpful as ever,

Isadora herself has another DESCRIPTION OF DEFILATION, and... hold on, let me check something... Yup, those are her original stats, worthless Con and all! Let's NOT use her!

CHARGE OUT, ALLIES! CHARGE TO VICTORY!

The fighters neglect to use their door keys, and instead opt for wall-bashing. Not the smartest of moves, but that's FE AI for you!

This guy CRITTED. I think.

Hey there, last hope for a bow user! Except for Louise, I guess...

Lack of thefts this chapter confirmed. Honestly guys, I know you all were hoping to play a guessing game, but the person who made this front-loaded his changes, They're drying up more and more as we advance... whatever, maybe there's still some more surprises down the road.

By "down the road" I mean "next chapter", since there's changes there.

Wow, this fortress filled with people faster than I thought. Here I was expecting relative ease...

And... no, he's not that great. At this point, I can't afford units with bad RES and no power to back them up. In fact, what with the XP reduced, I can't really train anyone who I don't know will turn out well! He does, at least, bring us a(THIRD) Light Rune...

AH WAIT HEATH WHAT ARE YOU DOING

Noooo!

Hmm... If Kitty would have been good... she could have opened the door and distracted Heath with no problems!

DEATHS:

Kitty's suckiness: 3

Wait wait WHAT!?

Okay, turns out Eubans moves, which I forgot. That means we can't bring our OP super-hitters anywhere near the steps out of the fortress! I guess we have to let the enemies come to us...

Bye bye!

Bye bye...

Priscilla! YOU'RE BETTER THAN THAT!

Thank you.

Crap, the thief has made it to the treasure room... guess I was too slow.

GET IN THERE LEGAULT, WE GOTTA STOP HIM

Recruit!

Since the fighters at the beginning went around instead of opening the door, Heath's gone this way! Looks like he's going to have to survive my main force!

And I can't recruit him if he's protected by Eubans...

Stay back, greenie! I don't want to have to rescue you away!

OW.

MIRACULOUS SURVIVAL!

I give credit to Legault.

Ow! I have to get that ballista back!

CAN WE GET THERE BEFORE SHE LOOTS THE GOLD?

YOU'RE. NOT. HELPING.

The enemy forces are ramping up fast! I'm not worried, because I have Sol... and Klein... and Priscilla... and... yeah, nobody else comes close to them.

Good news! He's on Team Goo!

There you go, knight! THAT'S how you help out!

But we were TOO LATE! WHHHYYYY!?!!? Now we ONLY have the ~15000 gold we can get from selling promotion items!

*sigh*

At least we get this back.

While the combat outside goes perfectly(and is thus uninteresting), Legault dashes to the secret shop and picks up from stuff for us. Infinite lockpicks are now an easily achievable goal, but we no longer need them! Funny, huh?

The greenies got in Eubans' range, and I had to gimpy my good units protecting them!

Death and unnecessary crits. That's the greenie's mantra today.

We seem to have some chokepointing going on over here!

DANGIT NO, WHY DO YOU GUYS KEEP GOING IN HIS RANGE

The reinforcements seem to be slowing down, at least...

You're supposed to dodge!

Well... if an enemy had to crit, this isn't the worst place for it.

Wait, hang on, didn't he... I got the screenshots mixed up! Dangit!

Raven's bases were good, but his growths are honestly proving lackluster...

WOULD YOU STOP DOING THIS SERIOUSLY

That's what happens when you get in the way, greenies. You're left to fend for yourself against GIANT LIGHT BALLS!

He's down.

We're winning!

Only now, at 1 HP, does Rath's unit decide to retreat.

There weren't many levels this chapter, honestly. But hey! Magic cap!

We're almost done here...

Luring out time!

Oh wow, is this guy ACTUALLY TOUGH?

Oh wow, not even Priscilla? This guy IS good!

(Magic cap!)

HAH! Just kidding. Klein drops him easy.

You know what, soldier? That's what I'd say if I were you, too!

Uther's unchanged, but it was to be expected. I love how all the portrait styles conflict here.

NEXT TIME: Pent!

(Also, hi.)

[NobodiePichu]

merlinus is secretly buff if he can apparently push a 25 con tent at least one space.

[TheMoniker]

Erm...did Merlinus put wheels under his tent?

(Also, hi.)

Merlinus has 1 move, but he isn't selectable, so we can't actually move him.

Hey!

merlinus is secretly buff if he can apparently push a 25 con tent at least one space.

Of course, he has plenty of real buff-ness too...

The Reckoning: Episode 15: Chapter 22: Pent DOESN'T Murder Everyone

...Is where we'll be headed today!

I wish it wasn't so, I don't think ANYBODY likes sand tiles!

It's cute, but that isn't Sol, or Sierra for that matter...

Great! Once again, Athos and Louise are normal, which basically means Pent is too!

OR NOT!

Okay, so... I can say that this is once again from Dream of Five, by Astralunasol. Yes. AGAIN. HOW MANY MORE OF THESE ARE WE GONNA GET!? I mean, come on! Seriously!?

As for the actual character... I think it's the bard guy? Probably?

Here's the team! We can't take everyone, but I kinda doubt Oswin would be useful here. I am leaving out Sol, because he's too OP as it is!

Okay, I want to talk about Gaiden Requirements for a bit. As you can see, this is pretty much proof that the XP gain rate has been reduced, and we need to get 700 XP for the gaiden. To put it simply, I'm not doing it. We're getting about ~10 XP per generic kill, and so getting that much would either require A: Dancing shenanigans or B: Healing shenanigans. 22x isn't happening.

The formation... honestly, 8 units seems like too little. I'm SERIOUSLY starting to wonder if the author reduced the deployment on some maps.

Yes Canas, let's see how bad hacks procreate in their natural environment... no, this is actually as reminder about those sand-artifacts that I'm NOT GETTING.

Here is our (ANNOYING) map.

Here is "Pent". I think his stats were actually NERFED from the original game, which is cool if you thought he was OP, but it doesn't really work, as we'll see shortly... also, presumably in exchange for the stats, he's proficient in all types of magic.

Our bosses seem relatively normal. Shouldn't be a threat. But why is their RES so high?

Let's get started! Surely, these guys can't be too much of a problem?

Whoa, what? Basically, THREE of these guys came(I just didn't screenshot one) and they all did the same damage. So yeah, if you got unlucky with those 30% hit chances? Pent INSTANTLY DIES. Was that in the original game?

Other than that, he holds out okay.

Our units, on the other hand... well, there's a reason I labeled Legault better than Kitty!

Hawkeye appears in a rush of sand!

Cool.

OOF! What the heck!? Luna shamans against an ally sage with 33 HP!? Who has no elixirs? AND IS FAR AWAY FROM US? Was THAT in the original game!?

Ultimately, it turns out that Dart dies instead. You know, if Kitty had been here, she could have assassinated that monk...

DEATHS:

I restart the chapter, this time bringing a SECRET WEAPON.

Oh yes!

OH CRAP! PENT! NO!

Two of the wyverns hit him! What are we supposed to do about that? It's not like we were given any good fliers!

At least we have this...

Boss lured ou-

I just... I can't even blame this on Kitty. This isn't my fault, it's the GAME'S fault!

I had to RNG abuse until he succeeded. I'm not going to add that to the deaths because then it would be kike 70.

This whole Pent thing is just insane, though! Did the author fail to playtest their own hack, and see the possibility of a death on the first turn, almost as likely as the second-turn death we had here!?

Further fueling the "no playtesting" theory, the game freezes as Hawkeye goes into battle. Notice that the "battle enter" animation freezes right as it's about to display green Hawkeye's palette. Something about it is broken.

Luckily, this is a much easier fix.

Well Pent. You're in a spot of trouble, aren't you? This would be so much less worriesome if the author had given him Elixirs, but NOOOO. He'll have to languish until we can get someone over there.

Well... I'm starting to have my doubts as to Canas's usefulness...

Klein just outmatches everyone at this point... he can solo entire chapters!

Yeah, please just die.

Hurray! More goodness!

AGH! This is HORRIBLE! He still hasn't gained any strength... PLEASE DON'T BE KITTY 2!

Canas, head over there!

Sorry about the lack of animations, I forgot to turn them back on.

At least this is slightly less painful to watch...

Finally, I get this to happen. Why are they suddenly using the more-accurate iron?

Almost done, but Pent's still in danger!

Get on the team, Mr. Glitch!

Okay, I HAVE to test this.

I just... I just...

UHHHHH!?

At least I can be glad about this! Let's just finish the chapter so we can move on with our lives...

CANAS! DEFEND!

Dart beats Paul, and gets a good level!

Pent "helpfully" finishes off the last guy for us. Hope his bloodied almost-corpse can be healed.

Good guy meeting time!

I bet. Like, "can this LP continue without everyone getting bored and leaving?"

No. No, you're not.

YES! WHY! DOES EVERYONE! KEEP SAYING! THAT EXACT LINE!

Who should get these? Maybe I'll save them for Nino...

Isn't that supposed to have an A or B...?

NEXT TIME: Those aren't normal prepromotes!

Also, a stolen thing that ISN'T FROM DREAM OF FIVE? Maybe! Or maybe not...

[Nintales]

Who is that character?

I'm quite sure it's not Pent.

[Upside-DownFish]

Pent's portrait is indeed Adrian, "the bard dude" from Dream of Five.

I'm not going to add that to the deaths because then it would be kike 70.

ayyy lmao typos.

[Blackzero]

The three Wyvern guys with 30% chances to hit Pent and the Luna Shaman are indeed in the original game, at least on Eliwood Hard Mode, not sure about Hector's mode though.

[TheMoniker]

Pent's portrait is indeed Adrian, "the bard dude" from Dream of Five.

I knew it! I was right!

(Stupid typos...)

What? Seriously? That doesn't sound balanced!

The Reckoning: Episode 16: Chapter 23: Saving Wallface

Our next plot point, except I'm fairly certain none of you are here for the plot.

I really feel like there should be an A or B there. Was this chapter modified?

Blah blah blah, talking...

WAIT WHAT

Okay, I do vaguely recognize that portrait, but I have NO IDEA where it's from. I don't think it's from Dream of Five or TLP, but I have no idea where else it would be! Help me out here, guys!

Here's the team! Everyone can come!

I did some investigating, and found out that Sol can use the Hero crest. That's kind of odd...

The reason is because while Sierra and Kelik are the Lord class, Sol is just the Fighter class. This is good news, as it means that Sol can promote whenever he wants, and Sierra doesn't have to compete with him for it!

1 Exp star... I BLAME BAD DESIGN

The formation!

Oh hey there, new guy who we actually get to use! I wonder if you were changed?

(Note that he's a general, despite us not doing Lyn Mode)

Here's the map!

That's... THAT'S NOT A NORMAL SNIPER! Holy crap! So much skill!

(Maybe it is a normal sniper, I forget)

Wallace here is more than powerful enough to hold out until we get to him. We're coming, buddy!

If you're wondering how Merlinus has been doing... yeah.

CHARGE FORTH, TROOPS! We must slay the snipers before they crit Wallace or some crap!

Dangit, Kitty! If you were good, you could've been there, scouted the fog, and revealed my bad decision!

Hey! Stay away from the greenie!

I SAID STAY AWAY!

Hey! Not only is he cheating in fog, he's moving away from us! Get back here, Wallace!

Lucky Jaffar, I guess...

An arena... nah, I won't use it.

The other super-sniper moved up after Wallace! He's hiding in the fog...

Oh no... Legault's gotten plenty of levels, but no strength... I don't like how this is going...

Wallace should be okay until we get to him, but I don't want to leave him alone too long.

It's been a while, but Granite's gotten a level! And it's good!

Skill cap on a pirate... OP much?

DIE, BALLISTICIAN! DIE!

He is getting SO deliciously close to promotion...

Kelik weakens! Legault finishes! Teamwork!

GOSH DARN IT

YOU STUPID BANDITS

Klein kills a ton of myrmidons. SO... CLOSE...

Ballista-ing a general? Not the best smarts there, mr. archer...

Wallace, come on! Stop fleeing further into the fog just as we start getting close to you!

Okay, Klein, you're assigned to the "Wallace saving and protecting" squad!

Ow!

Dangit, monks! Don't sneak up behind me like that!

Every stat except strength and defense... No, Legault! WERE YOU SECRETLY JUST ANOTHER KITTY?

I accidentally miss a level that Sierra got. It was almost perfect, the only thing she missed was defense.

Get on the team, buddy! I can't protect you forever!

Mine!

Kelik's getting close to promotion-readiness, but once he reaches it, he'll be stuck for a while.

These mooks are pretty much as tough as they were in FE7. Sure, we're in late-midgame and things are heating up, but they still aren't much of a threat.

All villages saved, 5-use status staff gotten!

They're coming up behind me! Luckily, I have Granite on my side!

There's Lloyd...

He seems mostly normal. No guarantees as to that red gem.

KILL! KILL! KILL!

What? No! If Kitty had been good, she could have help hold the line with Sierra, and saved her from the myrms!

Mooks everywhere! But we're approaching from all sides... we can do this!

We do do it, but, Legault... I... is he NEVER going to get strength?

Just like Kitty?

Crap, Lloyd moves!

I was planning on visiting the secret shop and normal shop and stuff, but that's not happening now! At least Sierra did okay for herself.

Also, this animation is FE10 Style Swordsmaster made by The Blind Archer. Not stolen, I guess, but there was still no credit given...

Even Klein can't double him, but it does open the way for Raven to-

-SCREW UP, APPARENTLY.

Screw up SO HARD.

Hellene is a total jerk, no wonder the king was so willing to break his news about the Fire Emblem to her.

Who's that chick replacing Nino, by the way?

[SirNicee]

Who's that chick replacing Nino, by the way?

It's Alice from that infamous FE7if hack. Also of note is that the mug is just an edit of one of the mugs in Origin of Creation.

[Klokinator]

Yeah I was gonna say, we know her from FE7if but like all the FE7if mugs were pirated from other people.

[eclipse]

How 'bout opening the thing up in Nightmare and checking the thief growth rates?

Also. . .Raven's stats are still pretty good. Not stupid-broken tier, just really good.

[TheMoniker]

It's Alice from that infamous FE7if hack. Also of note is that the mug is just an edit of one of the mugs in Origin of Creation.

A portrait stolen from a hack... that stole the portrait from another hack.

Maybe I will!

*30 minutes of LEARNING later*

...

I will reveal them at the end of the LP.

The Reckoning: Episode 17: Chapter 24: Vaida's Super Squad

Obviously, the best place to find clues.

You guys can go, maybe I'll stay here...

GASP! Who could ever have suspected that a VILLAIN was behind this!?

"MWAHAHA I BE WORST FATHER EVER"

Too late! We're here!

Team! Formation! ACTION!

Oh yeah, you guys. Just stay out of the way, mmkay?

Sierra promotion confirmed.

THANK YOU! Someone FINALLY used a different line!

Let's rock!

Newcomers. Not using either of them.

It seems like Vaida's uberspear was actually nerfed! I could probably kill her if I wanted to... but I don't.

Klein can now promote! ...Once enemy phase is over.

Ow! Okay, maybe not the best weapon choice...

Legault has a weapon more suited to this, but he's so weak...

Canas! Get! Defense!

OH COME ON!

Oswin's pretty much the only one they outspeed, unfortunately...

Stat cap! This would be 2 caps if we were in Road to Ruin... Heaven knows that's better than what we're doing now.

Realize your destiny, Klein!

Your destiny to DESTROY EVERYONE!

Oop. You failed.

Combat is going well in most parts of the map, but I need some people who aren't my lords or prepromotes on the top.

STAB.

STEAL.

Sierra, you're actually okay on strength... what you REALLY need is defense!

OH COME ON WHAT THE HECK

Raven is, at least, a bit luckier.

The village is mostly unguarded, and we've reached Turn 4 with no deaths!

Bleh. Come on Oswin, make yourself worth using here! Armor knights are hard to level, and you've got to be redeemable if you want me to go to the trouble of giving you XP!

WHOA

WHAT THE HECK

I just randomly checked the stats of this Halberd and

WHAT THE HECK

WHAT SORT OF BALANCE IS THIS

Give me that, so I can, uh... contain its power!

Paladin Klein is DESTROYING.

And we're getting quite close to... whatever Sol promotes into...

Strength!

GOSH DARN IT

I actually do need that back! Give it!

Great, the huge supermassive wyvern army is coming in.

Strength! Defense! He really needs them, considering how long he'll be trapped at level 20...

Oswin, what did you not understand about "make yourself worth training"?

We've almost lasted out the whole mission, but SO MANY WYVERNS...

They're basically all we have left to deal with, honestly.

1/10, the 1 was for the Res cap.

Awesome! Also, this has been buffed to FIVE uses, which makes it EVEN BETTER.

OSWIIIINNN!

I wish I had some other hope for a good general, but nope, you're my only guy.

Just in time, we get Legault to the shopping area!

Priscilla continues to ramcap ALL her stats. Except defense.

Not trash/10

And we get another OP tome!

That's a bit better, buddy! Your bases will still serve you for a while yet, but you definitely need speed at some point!

Last turn! And there's no real threats!

Vaida, literally all you have left is a handful of wyverns.

Sierra has MAGICAL TRACKING SKILLS!

I'm calling it now, Kitty actually has a decent strength growth and you just got very unlucky with it.

GAH, TOO MANY LPS TO KEEP TRACK OF T_T

So many new Randomizer LPs... I'm on the verge of giving up reading them all...

The Reckoning: Episode 18: Chapter 25: Legault is the Worst

I don't think they actually have any generic soldiers with them...

Kenneth's version of the chapter! I'm still wondering if the "splits" were removed, and things are always the same now...

Cloud, stop trying to be relevant! I'm not even gonna show your weird portrait!

Sonia is the worst mother EVER.

Blah blah blah I'm magic and stuff blah blah blah

Now to the fun-ish part; Gameplay!

Btw, Earth Seal has 1 use, while all the other promotion items have 2.

Were enemy prepromotes always like this in FE7? I didn't play it enough to know for sure...

Kenneth himself is pretty much immune to anything magical. No, we are never getting that 10-use purge from him. Well, I guess we could, but I'm too lazy.

Formation!

Map! Seems normal... I wonder which of the two characters we'll get?

OH NO, I'M SO SCARED

Ow.

Raven is so good. How could I ever think of him as bad?

Hooray, another statbooster for the pile we may or may not eventually use!

So good... I can't wait to promote him.

Oh yeah, there's this stupid snow. It's hard to deal with, but at least it's not map-dominating like rain typically is.

Get this pro healed!

Bye bye!

That's quite a few wyverns, but they're mostly ineffective because of the snow.

Legault, I appreciate that you're dodgy, but we recruited you at level 12, when you had 8 fresh levels of possible goodness. You've gotten 7 of those levels... AND NONE OF THEM HAVE CONTAINED STRENGTH.

I don't know if you're malicious or not... but PLEASE get strength for your final level!

The snow cleared! Time to buzz-saw these wyverns!

Another tome for him!

Bleh! What a bad way to end your leveling! Ah well, you'll be promoted... eventually...

Also, this guy needs an angelic robe! Seriously!

SO SCARY

Hey, now's my chance to check the stats!

Huh... looks like while the other Dark tomes turned OP, Eclipse was mostly untouched... was it's weight reduced?

Sierra and Raven! SAVE MERLINUS!

Klein celebrates his paladin-hood with a good level.

The outer area is cleared, time to move inwards!

Of course, we're getting held up by some pesky magic-users...

So close to his awesome promotion... SO CLOSE...

You're getting close too, friend! I haven't forgotten about you!

Ow! Sometimes I wish I had another dedicated healer...

Dodging isn't Granite's strong suit, I guess.

You seriously think you can get through us, thief?

Defense! Finally! Thank you!

Ow. Kenneth does NOT mess around. Approaching him will be quite difficult.

Excellent! Seriously, Priscilla is outright GODLY.

And so... the truth is revealed.

Legault refused to gain strength, for 8 levels straight.

We had never escaped Kitty...

We just swapped one thief for one that appeared slightly better...

And yet, there is one last hope: Jaffar! Please don't have been nerfed, buddy!

Of course, I'll worry about our party thief composition later... right now, I need to deal with this thing.

Ah, someone who can help us!

Hmmm... standard stats... probably-buffed weapon... messed-up description... not really using him, nope.

Luring strats!

Beautiful!

Get on the team, loser!

Canas can approach him okay!

...Never mind then. We really do need physical users for this task.

Okay, new plan: ALL CHARGE TOGETHER!

Meanwhile, Legault loots some good things! At least he's good at that, specifically...

Every single boss disappoints me... not one has been able to stand up to even the IDEA of a full round with Klein...

She's ready...

Sol finished, and not only gets himself ready for promotion, he also upstages Sierra!

PROMOTION TIME!

...Uh...

Okay, so, here's the explanation behind this... I think. If I remember right, Sierra/Julia had a special sword she could use, that had this as a special animation. So instead of promoting to Lyn Lord, she promotes to her special sword animation, because the hack didn't go long enough for her to ACTUALLY promote.

The stats are good, though!

Healgrinding, not that Priscilla needs the stats...

Promotion 2#!

Well, that's... that's...

A palette...

So buff...

SO BUFF...

Anyways, we did everything we needed to do. Let's leave, before Jaffar gets murdered!

Are you sure it's entirely his fault? In this hack, there's quite a few other factors at play!

Specifically, we must stop the assassination of my sanity as we LANGUISH under these HORRIBLE THIEVES!

NEXT TIME: CAN JAFFAR SAVE ME!?

Haha,

I think Klok's LP's Thief!Tethys stole all your thieves growths , would explain Legault and Kitty #BlameTethys

Eclipse however was definitely buffed : +20 accuracy, -2 weight. But even then it never connects :P
