screenshot Phobia plays Akaneia series- issa done forever

[phobia]

“The fuck is this, Phobia? Another LP so soon?”

yeah i’ve been planning this since like two days after I started FE8 random so that’s why I rushed it so much, I wanted to move onto something that would really be a fun LP

For my last birthday I started an LP that I didn't end up finishing because it was FE6, so for this one I want to try again.

and guess what I’m playing FE12 after this, and it's all in this one thread

Now, I know a lot of people don't like the DS games (or like one and not the other) and I'm not the BIGGEST fan of 11, but I really like 12. I do thoroughly enjoy Shadow Dragon, though.

and I’M ONLY USING SHITTY UNITS. THAT MEANS I’LL BE USING A TIER LIST.

Specifically, this tier list, because that’s the first I found and it's legit.

[spoiler=HERE IS THE TIER LIST]

Only mid to SHIT tier will be used, other than Marth

Which means I will have some of the WORST units IN ANY FIRE EMBLEM GAME

Mid Tier

Norne Athena Wendell Wrys Horace Midia Dolph Ceasar Minerva Astram Roshea Castor Darros

Low Tier

Maria Gordin Roger Ymir Elice Macellan Samson Tomas Jagen Lorenz

Lower Tier

Est Matthis Jeorge Vyland Arran

Shit Tier

Boah Rickard Bantu

Pretty much the same kind of tier list I would’ve made. I’ve used some of these characters before, namely Lorenz, Norne, Gordin, aaaaaaaaaaaand Jeorge? Of course, I do not get to use all of these characters because there’s a limit. I might have to reclass some so I dont have 60 bow users.

[spoiler=Rules]

Only mid to shit tier units + Marth.

None of them may die, except Jeigan. Fuck him.

None of them may be DEPLOYED unless required.
As per request of dondon, Minerva will not be used

Without any further ado I present the first episode of Phobia’s Akaneia Saga.

[spoiler=Prologue 1]

I chose easy mode because first of all, my team is going to be awful. Second of all, I need to grab Norne and that can only be done by LETTING PEOPLE DIE in the prologue. Which means Frey and Jeigan will be sacrificed, because Frey is not canon and even though I can use Jeigan he’s a piece of shit.

is this marth’s brother, roy!?

i really don’t care about this intro

One dark and stormy night, Prince Marth stumbles drunkenly around his castle.

Beggin’ your pardon, but why the fuck are you wearing such ugly armor?

But whatever, I guess I’ll go see the princess.

THE FUCK IS THIS

THIS IS MY CASTLE

WHY ARE YOU IN MY CASTLE, REDMAN?

“I’m… I’m the bad guy, Marth! You’re supposed to be scared!”

Unfortunately for Private Redman, his teammates suck balls.

Seriously, why invade my castle if you’re just going to die in one quick 1v1?

Oh, no, this guy took more than two hits.

I’m doomed!

Fuck outta here.

Oh, good. Shitty levels already, princey?

I’ll show ‘im how I can run to the throne!

NO! THE THRONE! WHAT THE FUCK DO I DO NOW!

I'M SORRY ANRI, BUT THIS IS WHERE IT ALL ENDS

She’d be really mad if she knew that Gra was invading!

Idk why the top map is so dark, but no matter!

Prince Marth defeats the invading evildoer and ...seizes his own throne?

Yes, sir!

Yeah, I’m great, Elice, but like... our castle security is the worst. No big deal, though, I’m personally fine.

I hope you guys will join me as I traverse the great continent of Akaneia. This is gonna be a loooong one.

There's no way Est can be that low tier. She's one of the best characters in the game if you level her up. If you really want to make this LP interesting, play it on 5-star Hard mode.

[phobia]

Est's shining moment was in the original, in this game she got nerfed. But I agree she shouldn't be that low. Also, Hard 5 is probably impossible with these rules and I need to get Norne, anyway.

I might try hard mode when I go through FE12 but then I'd need to do different rules because that game has a bullshit regular hardmode...

Edited August 25, 2015 by phobia

[dondon151]

wtf is with that tier list lol

that contains like half of the best characters in the game

like a playthrough using jagen, wendell, jeorge, minerva, and boah is a standard H5 playthrough for me

[phobia]

I'm certainly open to someone finding me a new one, however you're speaking as someone who has beaten several games with just base stats :x

Edited August 25, 2015 by phobia

[dondon151]

take that tier list and exclude the 5 characters i mentioned

[phobia]

Only one I was planning on using was Minerva anyway

[dondon151]

better yet

you have to use all four of those units except for minerva

[phobia]

I'm guessing Minerva is very low on that list because if I recall correctly her availability is pretty low

[dondon151]

minerva's availability is decent. some tier lists penalized her for being a bitch to recruit. her stats are also not wtf good but she probably doubles most things in normal mode and has an 18 MT axe so

[phobia]

so i'll just ban her instead of the prepromos

[dondon151]

yeah isn't that what i said

well not really

you might as well force yourself to use the four other units; they are really good units if you've never used them before.

[lonelyVoxel]

I don't like Shadow Dragon since I can't wrap my head around DS reclassing, but probably also because on my first/only complete run {when I was 11 lol} I went through all the replacement units at least twice. Have fun, don't get rekt.

Reclassing is not necessary to beat the game. Also, you had to deal with AUFFLE and WYMP? I feel bad for you.

Minerva's Hauteclare is pretty broken, but the other units you mentioned are just outclassed by nearly everybody​ in a typical playthrough.

I'm gonna blaze through a couple of prologue chapters real quick.

[spoiler=Prologue 2]

In Prologue 2 we try to escape our own castle, which is now being guarded by Gra soldiers better than it was by our own.

Hey look, two BENCHED units.

Get in the corner, maggot.

My Marth is really weak right now but he can still hold his own against a couple of chumps.

Me? Sneaking up on you? You're implying you didn't know I was here, in my own castle?

Now I realize why they're so easy to defeat-- They're IDIOTS.

Too bad they all move one at a time and will never gang up on you.

Marth isn't doubling this fighter, which is a shame, because now I need to give him the Vulnerary that Frey brought.

Thanks, friend.

Marth nets himself another lackluster level.

I tried to bait out this Archer thinking that the boss would move, but of course he doesn't!

Really? What the fuck?

Marth defeats the other Archer and takes on the boss, who is a real special snowflake.

The boss then allows Marth to kill him.

Marth seizes the... gate... and the cavaliers promptly follow him out of the castle.

"Jeigan, it sickens me to see you in one piece. It's too safe for you here; we must be away at once!"

[spoiler=Prologue 3]

But, not for long, since Marth is going to ditch those losers soon enough.

Yep. Cain should rest all the way back to the gate.

Man, what a Goddamn surprise!

Jeigan manages to crit this scrub Soldier, not that he needed to.

Marth takes out another worthless Gra goon.

Keep chipping away, Marth.

Also, dear me, I seem to have not taken a screenshot of Marth's fifth level. It was his first decent one, as you can see.

Str, Skill, Spd, and HP.

Marth can use this Vulnerary much more effectively than Jeigan can.

Oh, and this sword.

More Redmen for Marth to slay.

This one I manage to capture, and it's God-awful.

Hey, I mean, he's still one-rounding these nerds.

Also, around here I realize I'm cringe-inducingly wasting Rapier uses. Oops.

This is true, so, we bait them out.

In retrospect I should've baited this one with Jeigan, but no matter.

Marth kills this mage and instead of using my last Vulnerary use...

Jeigan crits the last one.

Marth seizes this random fort and the battle is over.

That's what you think.

Definitely curious about this game, and why so many people hate on it. Seems like it suffers from "lyn mode syndrome", just like FE12. Watched.

Seriously, what the hell is up with this tier list? Kashim? Minerva? Lorenz? Jeorge? WENDELL?! (Windell especially, considering his availability is pretty damn good for a non-jeigan prepromote.)

And Bantu is a Manakete, so he should be AT LEAST lower-tier.

Then again, I only played FE1 as far as early Akaenia goes, so maybe they all got nerfed.(although I dont know HOW you can nerf Bantu.)

Edited August 25, 2015 by SilverHairedFreak25

[phobia]

Bantu's growths are better than in FE1, but only just. Also how can you possibly take Wendell seriously when Merric and Linde are in the game?

Fair enough.

As I said, I only played FE1 as far as the War of Shadows goes. In that game, prepromotes are a godscend. And since clerics are damn-near useless in that game (no XP from staves), I needed a staffbot that could defend himself.

Tl;dr I used all 3, magic users rule

[Nintales]

Oh, you're doing that? I remember doing a scrubby PT in H5. But at least Shiida and Jagen were left available for my supposedly still living sanity. But this was "funny" till I has to switch computers because I remember my Marth was so blessed he could ORKO. And I sacrificed most of the cast. (That ended at 12x)

Best way to train scrubs is to switch them into Archers to make their training easier.

But as you're going in Normal mode you shouldn't have that many issues. At least defeating Hyman won't require you a blessed Marth.

Have fun!

Edit : My definition of scrubs was units who got less than 3 (or 4, can't remind), at the RTU.

Edited August 25, 2015 by Nintales

[phobia]

Normal mode is pretty easy here, yeah

[Phantom037]

Jeorge and Wendell are actually pretty great, but this should still be interesting. Watched.

[dondon151]

Also how can you possibly take Wendell seriously when Merric and Linde are in the game?

how can you possibly take merric and linde seriously when wendell is in the game

that's the question you should be asking

[Jedi]

Wendell has some of the most ridiculous speed in the game. Among other things.

[dondon151]

speed

eyebrows

hat

like seriously

[phobia]

Hello and welcome back to the next exciting installment of Shadow Dragon

[spoiler=Prologue 4]

ughhhhh nobody caaaaaaaaaares

Not really, Malledus.

HINT HINT MOTHERFUCKER

The sacrifice will be made on this very fort.

Marth collects his thoughts and gains a really good level, finally.

Captain's eyebrows are not on point.

Rapey subtext

The DS fight animations are so funny to me because they're not even as good as the GBA ones.

The two unlucky members of the army reluctantly turn in their weapons.

YOW!!!!
Oh, wait, it's just Greenhair McArcher.

This kinky* state.

Marth has his way with Gordin's boy-butt before returning his Iron Bow.

What's funny about these guys is this is the single case where they send an actual unstoppable force to assassinate the Lord, but they manage to fuck up anyway.

FOR NORNE-IA!

Shut up, Fagen.

Yes, because Frey looks extremely similar to Marth.

Byebye!

Gordin picking up some easy kills as Marth chips them down.

This is beautiful.

DOUBLE KILL!

STOP TALKING OH MY GODDDD

Jesus CHRIST Marth, are you sure you're not Chrom?

What a champ!

Surprise, horsebirds!

She has wine in that back, the fuck?

Make haste with your babble, Draug. I want to move on.

Finally, we get to the good stuff. Join me next time for Marth Embarks!

[phobia]

[spoiler=finalllly chapter 1]

Here we meet the lovely Norne, a new member of the team.

She has much less skill than Gordin but more speed.

IS RLY GUD

damn nigga lemme get some

Princey's goin clubbing bitches

First more pokey-sticks for Prince Marth.

ALL LUCK NO SKILL

People who attack archers from one square are rude as fuck

I'VE SEEN THIS LEVEL BEFORE!

DRUG stopped by to give Marth the weapons he picked up

A couple more like this and you don't need a promotion.

who the fuck am i kidding

Norne is clearly the best unit on the team.

On second thought.

GET OFF MY VILLAGE

You can't fight? What the fuck good are you then, baldy?

u kno what this means:)

Not boss abuse, that's for sure. Takes three years.

Give me that sweet fuckin' beard and we'll call it even.
