Here for the first time to start off a play-through of Fire Emblem: Sacred Stones, randomized using the GBA FE Randomizer found elsewhere on these forums.

Game mode will be on Hard.

Main team will be decided with fan favorites from your comments down below, or any ridiculously strong / weak pairings with random class and recruitment.

Down here are the Table of Contents and the Unit Profiles.

Table of Contents is pretty self explanatory - it'll link you to the Chapter posts.

The Unit Profiles is a list of all units acquired throughout the play through, with their classes, base stats and growths.

To see a unit's current stats, refer to the recaps that follow each chapter.

[spoiler=Unit Profiles]

MARISA ( Originally EIRIKA )

NAME      HP  STR  SKL  SPD  LCK  DEF  RES
Marisa    75   30   55   60   50   15   25  

GARCIA ( Originally SETH )

NAME      HP  STR  SKL  SPD  LCK  DEF  RES
Garcia    80   65   40   20   40   25   15  

GILLIAM ( Originally GILLIAM )

NAME      HP  STR  SKL  SPD  LCK  DEF  RES
Gilliam   90   45   35   30   30   55   20 

DUESSEL ( Originally FRANZ )

NAME      HP  STR  SKL  SPD  LCK  DEF  RES
Duessel   85   55   40   30   20   45   30 

Without further ado:

[spoiler=Prologue: Fall of Renais]

Here's the starting point of our grand adventure - seems like we've got a Knight and a Wyvern Lord to start things off.

Introducing our Lord character - Knight Marisa.

NAME      HP  STR  SKL  SPD  LCK  DEF  RES
Marisa    75   30   55   60   50   15   25 

She's got some pretty bad growths in STR and DEF, which is quite unfortunate as a Knight...

But I suppose she'll end up doubling other units, so we've got that going for us!

And here's our Wyvern Lord, Garcia.

NAME      HP  STR  SKL  SPD  LCK  DEF  RES
Garcia    80   65   40   20   40   25   15  

And last, and surely the least, the randomized boss for the Prologue.

O'Neill is rocking that Armorslayer, however, so it looks like using Marisa is going to prove to be a challenge.

Just to start things off, we'll have Garcia hand over his Iron Lance to Marisa.

Since we're pretty much required to use her since she's our Lord, she needs all the weapon experience she can get anyway.

Ah, how I love the generic palettes

We've got that beautiful rosy pink Knight complemented with the mint green Wyvern. Lesgo, lesgo.

Never hurts to be safe against potential crits!

When it comes to O'Neill, though, we'll have Marisa throw a javelin to chip off some health.

Then we'll come in with Garcia and finish him off.

Easy win, easy life.

And with that, the Prologue is over. Onto the actual story line!

[spoiler=Chapter 1: Escape!]

So here is the official first chapter of this Fire Emblem Sacred Stones play through.

Remember, this is randomized, meaning that all the classes of the various characters throughout the game will be different than the original.

Speaking of which, the randomizer also randomizes the bosses. Meaning Breguet is now...

A pirate!

He IS holding the Killer Axe, meaning that he'll most likely dish out insane crits if we don't take caution.

Luckily, this boss doesn't move, which makes things much easier on us.

That being said, we also get Franz and Gilliam this chapter, so let's see who got randomized to who!

Ironically enough, Gilliam seems to have randomized into himself, except this time as a Soldier with 0 DEF.

Zero. Zero defense.

Here are his growths:

NAME      HP  STR  SKL  SPD  LCK  DEF  RES
Gilliam   90   45   35   30   30   55   20 

Next, replacing Franz, is Duessel the Thief!

He's starting out with an A in weapon level for Swords, which should prove useful should the time come.

His growths:

NAME      HP  STR  SKL  SPD  LCK  DEF  RES
Duessel   85   55   40   30   20   45   30 

Look at our new units in action! (Duessel actually crits here, but I missed the timing for the animation).

Of course, the reinforcements come in from the back.

For now, we'll just have Gilliam sit at the fort and Duessel remain steady.

Given their starting DEF stat, Duessel can actually tank better than Gilliam atm, even as a Thief.

Sending off Marisa to deal with that pesky Soldier there... and she gets a level up!

Pretty great level up too, at that.

Here's what our units look like.

We have Gilliam at the upper fort, while Moulder sits on the bottom (which will hopefully bait in the reinforcements to attack Marisa and Duessel for the XP).

Duessel also gets a level up!

Though some STR and SPD would have been ideal, I'm not too unhappy with how it turned out.

You show 'em, Marisa.

Now we just take care of the few remaining units with Gilliam and Marisa.

Next up... the boss!

Now, this is actually a tricky situation.

Ideally, we would want one of the lower level units to get the kill XP on the boss, but given he has a Killer Axe...

That crit rate is insane.

The only one who can actually hit him safely is Marisa with the Javelin, and even that only has a 22 hit.

Thankfully, we can just have Garcia kill the boss, and maybe the lower units can finish off the next one.

To end things... Gilliam level up!

This looks like a lot of fun, I hope to see more! (Getting a thief early on is super lucky, so congrats)
