That is that. Next time, snow map with force-deployed knight. Sounds good? Yeah, it's gonna be great. Pick up your coats, because we'll be heading on an expedition to the frozen peaks!

Yeah, from what I've gathered, the US is kinda falling apart in this pandemic. My heart goes out to you and to all other US readers. Not that Spain is much better off, but... well, not quite the disaster you guys face.

Wait till they re-elect that disaster again...

I like this piece of fanart. I don't like the guy's hair, but I appreciate the sentiment.

It's a girl.

Also, Indra pretty much obsoletes her (or at least she would if she wasn't among the rarest units in the game...)

 

On 9/21/2020 at 4:15 PM, Saint Rubenio said:

 Isn't she the one acting all creepy in other fanarts? That's very Valterish.

I think you have mistaken her for someone else.

Maybe.

Every time I see this gal's name, I think of Franco. Franco being the fascist dictator that ruled Spain up to 1975, when he died of old age. So yeah. This fellow.

Yeah, i know the guy: on the plus side, Spain at least still remembers him well enough to not repeat the same mistake anytime soon...

Yes. Good. More of this one, and I'll sigh slightly less loud when I receive the notifications that you've replied to the thread.

Welp, it seems she agrees:

(Also she's a filthy liar, as her 2nd skill straight up turns her damage from phisical to magical AND lets her restore health on hit: if that's not a "weird crazy power", i don't know what would be...)

That'd take effort on the devs' part. And it's not like they want to make a good game. Long as the cash keeps flowing in...

It most likely took way more effort to design her sword and animate her attacking with it though...

(Heck, if they wanted her to attack with her nails they could have just copied Mousse's attack animation)

Oh dear. Look who's made its grand entrance. It's the wyvern! Icewyrm, to be precise, which means it's strong against wind but weak against fire.

Well, here's the thing. The wyvern is passive at first, and heads towards the mountains. Once it gets there, it immediately leaves again, and then it's aggressive. Why? I haven't the faintest idea.

Interestingly enough, units that can equip accessories can use this thing. But not only is wind resistance completely useless for 99.99% of the game, this also grants a flat -12 crit resistance. Which means everyone gets at least 12 crit on you at all times. Yeah... fuck this thing.

Wait, you can actually see the spy's message? I was unable to figure out how to do it... You can read Lynette's letters from the "key items" list, but not the spy's report! Either it's unused text, or I'm missing something here.

Oh!  Darn dummied-out text... In that case, I'll include it here. It consists of three messages on its three pages:

Page 1:


  To Whom It May Concern,
Once every four days, Jagnar's
walking trees become the best
place to hunt and augment.
Sirs Orange, Gray, Green, Black,
and Red have already agreed to
come, and we would love if you
could join in the festivities.
  Kindest Regards,
  Mr. Yellow

Page 2:


  Salutations,
The Esteemed King of Jeztol has
proclaimed a new era of a great
crisis. I have heeded the wishes
of the princess, and I will begin
to lead troops in the field.
  Sincerely,
  Squadron Leader

Page 3:


Since childhood, I have learned
archery from my father, who is
called the Jester, as he is one
of the greatest in all Berwick.
  -Anonymous

 

Finally, I'm like 70% sure that the "Volpoz"—the official romanization for Japanese ボルポス boruposu, taken from the guidebook—is meant to be a corruption of Latin vulpes "fox." #justtranslatorthings

  I mean, I wasn't wrong about that statement, though it was harsh on my part.

Yeah, well... You dick. Nah just joking.

I've made some progress since (I hate Ailell at present. I'll figure it out). Which also makes me realise my biggest issue with any improvement of 3H: that no matter what, there would need to be a larger scale of assets for any expansion of the story and to allow more maps. And that's just aesthetically, I'm not even discussing map design here.

I can only hope you continue to enjoy the game in spite of the issues, unlike me.

I'd say the only likely ones are one of the fairy ones next year, there seems to be dropoff after their initial shot at 2nd place.

Huh... well, that's unexpected.

Wait, no, it isn't. Hilda and Depressed Waifus 1 through 3 from Three Houses haven't won yet. The fairies'll have their shot afterwards.

And yes, I still don't fully get the Veronica shock, although part of it was a backlash against Camilla because the thing is they do a mid-CYL results showcase where they show who's high up and there was a stronger backlash to Camilla and Veronica was a new character to CYL who people felt sorry for because she's a cursed girl who just wants her brother to stoop running the fuck away. Also her brave alt's still a great unit, so I'm not complaining.

They voted some OC from Heroes to spite Camilla. And then Camilla won the next year.

I... I am very happy to be a part of the human species, yes.

The curse of the auteur theory for you.

Yeah...

As for the companies involved, this is a fascinating topic. Treehouse have done localisation for most of the international titles, except for SD, Awakening and Echoes, which were all done by 8-4, who are a Japanese based company that got commissioned on those games for whatever reason. Course Treehouse actually did a pretty good job on 3H imo, but I would not complain to see 8-4 again.

Really? For a while, a new thread popped up every day in the subreddit explaining mistranslations that completely altered the meaning of lines and sometimes even whole scenes from Three Houses. From what I've seen, it was a bit less of a disaster than something like FE7, but it's still pretty bad.

Bottom-line, yeah, 8-4 are great, please give them more games.

As for our opinions on 3H's story, I am not so sure the localisation would be sufficient to fix 3H's issues. And it would likely deviate to some degree to do so.

Three Houses: TWSITD Removed Edition. Now that'd be somethin'.

I was on about eastern borders, but still.

We don't border anyone on the east, it's just sea. Of course, it's a thin-ass strip of sea and then the motherfuckin' Empire of Raze is right there, but... I guess that doesn't count as bordering, technically?

Tales of Phantasia is the first Tales game and the only one I've played at all. I do not like the combat, it is very much an aged title and I an not interested in playing further.

I see...

I do not need to.

Oh, smug, are we?

I won't give my answer, but I'll have my vindication.

You won't. Probably.

Also, has Derrick had a paralogue yet or will he ever?

Nope. In fact, we've seen all of his scenes all the way until the ending. So... yeah. He'll just be around to be a badass and my best unit.

It's not my fault he said what he did.

Hey, now...

You tainted this pure image of strength.

I'll have you know, I do regret it.

Also he's male, they wouldn't.

Don't underestimate them.

I clearly didn't have that one line sink in.

No, you did not.

You'd think there'd be some way to clear the debris.

Well, no. Tough luck. Kaga doesn't like it when you have low movement.

Stupid question, if you don't pay for Burrough's stuff will he leave?

Well, I just checked using an old save, and he doesn't leave. But even if he doesn't, that's still a ballista and bolts that you miss out on. The game doesn't exactly give you a thousand of 'em. Best to take the offer.

You put the part out on the 21st of September.

The video also came out that day and the song in it's September from Earth Wind and Fire.

I understood the reason you linked the video. What I don't understand is the video.

That's what you get for trying to make your soldiers more likely to survive by being more effective!

Oh, that's sad.

Berwick's fucked, as you often say.

That sounds like a cursed place, I wouldn't want to be there either.

It is rather cursed. Filled with assassins and all.

Meoilxpy oIt really doesn't but we need to move on.

Hah!

Wait he's alive?

Yes. Are you surprised? By now I've done this three times.

I'm sorry, but to quote yourself:

3snkfgd3 o

Ahahahahahahahahahahahahah... I knew that was a good line.

I mean, I do get the sequence of events, but I thought he died earlier.

The explanation is that, after Morgan got shot by Harriett, Pretzel assumed he was mortally wounded and warped him away to bleed out alone. But he made it, so now he's just... hanging out, I guess.

Smash that immersion, Harriet.

Help ruin this game for everyone mwahahahahhahahahahahahahhahahahahaha

I have become the very thing I swore to destroy! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO--

I mean, you could sit. This seems like a cheap room with no tables and not even economical because it's a pretty big one bedroom, I don't have a room that big.

DAMMIT BERWICK WHY ARE ROOMS NEVER SMALLER THAN THIS EXCEPT FOR THE BAG ROOM?

Ah, yes, the bag room. The one room I haven't entered in ages. And yeah, Berwick rooms are pretty titanic.

So him screwing up has become retrospectively humourous. Least she found a way to not let his actions get to her.

Kinda.

I'm still wondering if his name wasn't you trying to make him an author character of some sort. Clearly far from 1:1, but a sort of mirror image perhaps? A "there but for the grace of reason/intrspection go I" kind of deal (I hated retooling that MLK quote).

You know, I would hope I'm nothing like that guy. I would also hope that I do not come across as anything like that guy.

I could be overthinking it though, it's harder to think that since he went full villain.

...In all seriousness, yeah, that was the original intention. Make him a replacement for plot!me, since plot!me couldn't possibly still be alive. But when I accidentally drew perfect glasses in GBA style somehow, I didn't add the beard so as not to ruin the sprite. That's when I decided to make him a mostly unrelated character. And also a jerk. And also a villain. The name just remained as a joke.

Did Elaine just friendzone her?

That or is this going to end up Sappho and her Roommate style where publicly there was no way they got to let the gay flag fly?

Well, uh...

Grazed her- HER EYE GOT TAKEN OUT!

That's some grazing she got!

And yeah, graced is the wrong word there, it sounds like she got a hand softly touching her.

Yeah, I meant to say grazed, that's a typo. Since the attack was initially going through her skull, I guess it makes sense that by comparison she'd call it a mere graze?

Like Harriet wants to do right this second-

Pffft!

Or not, because she was not ready for that. It's been two weeks, she was this close to it.

Turns out, for all her big talk...

And apparently turnabout's fair play after all.

You do the honors.

This series now passes the 4chan test of being fake and gay

...Uh... hurray me, I guess?

Wait Esteban lives?

Yep.

Did you plan this since Christine died?

Not quite. Since Ruebhen turned bad. I didn't really know what to do with the characters after the twist, so I decided to give Ruebhen a new pal to spend a couple of updates with.

Well, he knows he's going to hell, might as well dig down.

That's the only way to go now.

Esteban revealing he secretly had magicbane all along.

Ahahahahahahah!

I don't remember him time travelling

I mean, not really out of character, is it?

Either Ruebhen is actually going to die or he's getting a Gharnef makeover.

Who knows.

Hopefully he'll realise turning into a red anger ghost is just unappealing.

Pffft...

So, we're on a shorter update, no wonder you doubled down on story.

It felt only right.

Here if counties keep getting pushed up the lockdown scale, we're going to get a full on lockdown. Doesn't matter for my course, but that'd suck for a lot of things. Like everyone getting off their lawns.

Hoo boy...

Screw it, I've got no updates, it's late, goodnight.

How was your night, then?

Aside from Microsoft buying Zenimax, that's probably a generation defining play even if they actually allow multiplat titles.

Zenimax? What'd Zenimax do?

...Oh, shit, Bethesda and Arkane! Well, shit... that's interesting. I guess I'll never get to play another game of theirs, if they're on their way to becoming Xbox exclusives. Though Microsoft and Sony have always been less stingy with their exclusives than Ninty, if I'm not mistaken.

Huh alright, well I like the fanfic. Let's see what happens .

I'm glad you do!

The title reminds me of the thieftaker general, it was basically a thief in charge of London's police force but he was the big boss so he knew where all the thieves were and posed as being really good, instead of, y'know, corrupt.

Hah! Well, no. It's another reference to Rockefeller.

hehehe... nice.

That's... That's not "hehe" worthy!

Well read it like an english speaker. Roo is in spanish like Ru and bin as in trash bin is like more a combination between an i and an e, so it is passable for Ruben.

True enough. Well, I don't really mind. Ruben, Roobin, Shithead, whatever you want to go with.

Fernandez? Heh, queda bien lel.

Tengo un nombre muy español, claramente.

Just don't open you mind, I'm thinking you can open to receive neuro-electrical transmissions or not.

You just get a noisy, obnoxious notification in your eye socket that someone wishes to access the com channels.

HAhahaahahahah! Yes that is the one. I like the story tho, it's really good. Though it is "haha funny horny" at times

I have a friend who is a real fan of OP Ned Flanders. He watched the anime entirely for him, and only the parts with him. Everything else he hated.

hehehehe.... ah well, at least you got the pronunciation (if you read in in spanish mode) right. Wait I probably already told you once.

Hanes Shmirtzendoof is your name. That is LP canon now.

I read them, that's interesting...

I guess so. But the arbitrary gore porn is still rather questionable. All in all, it seems like a bit of a strange title.

Ah I see... well props to Aethin then.

I agree, props to him. He's awesome.

Idk... I've never been fond of it... I still feel too young with it.

I mean, you are kinda young. Heck, I'm 5 years your senior! That's half a decade! I'm so old and cranky in comparison! And... in general!

Ok I need to know asap how to take it off. Let me check actually, I can't procrastinate on it... ok that was easy enough I think, is it still there? (also watch my other stuff it's good if I do say so myself)

I cannot see it any longer. A shame. I could always look for it on my history and then post a link to it here so it is forever accessible... but that'd be cruel of me, wouldn't it?

See if I were to use it again, I would need to relearn some of it but I remember I abused variables. Stuff like "Check if Animatronic_01 is up" and then I had sth else that lead to a message "Animatronic_01 up"being sent and I could go from there. I have other nifty proyects in my scratch stuff, they were... well very novice to say the least, one of them I fucked up and never fixed. The other was an RPG battle system and all it did was roll between some numbers I set it to. Lel

Well, still. Everyone's gotta begin somewhere. Nobody makes Berwick Saga on their first try!

Well I'm sad to admit no I didn't hear it then that much.

A shame.

Nah it's fine

I wish I had something like that...

These two lines in a row are perfect, in a way. Sheesh, I'm so sorry...

Haven't tried it out actually, I may sometime I guess.

Please do. It has capture!

Quan is like, turn 3 tho lol.

I know. Hence the "frigging".

Even if you don't like FE4 because beeg map and whatnot (which surprise! I disagree with that rhetoric) I mean it was soon enough lel.

To be fair, FE4's maps is more of a "well damn that does not inspire me with confidence" thing. I have barely played the game, so I really can't offer a proper judgment. When I tried FE4 a long time ago, it was the menus that threw me off. Having played so much KagaSaga, however, I probably could handle them better now. Maybe a new attempt is in order.

You know, there's plenty of fish in the sea but I don't have a good net. So go for fishers instead :Kappa:

Pfffhahahahahah... Words to live by, I guess.

Yeah lol. Or how he attacks you at gronder because some messengers died (not his iirc) so idk what the fuck gives.

Actually, it was worse than that. He attacks you at Gronder because the Empire made the battlefield so chaotic that he can't tell who's friend of foe, so he just goes "fuck it, kill everyone on sight". That's the explanation.

He's just... so profoundly dumb in such an arrogant, self-aggrandizing way. He's like a politician. I cannot fucking stand him. I spent an entire LP making fun of Holmes, but I'd take Holmes over Claude any day. Holmes is an idiot, but at least he's a lovable idiot. I know I loved him, even if it didn't seem like it.

Claude, though? I swear, my biggest motivation to play Crimson Flower was the thought of murdering his sorry ass. Unfortunately, there was a game to be played until then, so I couldn't make it. Got too bored before I could reach him.

Yeah makes sense what you say. Though I don't speak it, I can just read katakana, which isn't even most of the japanese alphabet.

I understand.

also damn it golb smh

I smh as well. Vehemently so, I might add!

Yeah I was being sarcastic, even then tbh if you try to kill things with alm by warping him, you're gonna take way longer than 1 turn because of dumb misses or not being able to fight everything, etc. Just a heads up.

Well, I was exaggerating as well.

I saw it plain as day, you did the Bwahahaha laugh. Don't try anything funny, I've got you.

But... that is not the Valtome laugh! It's nothing like it, in fact!

I see, I enjoy moving fast, I think it's cool and it just makes it more exciting for me.

Different strokes for different folks, I suppose.

Well Mr, I don't see her horse, or her one-two, or her double-shot... kye he he he...

Well Mr, I don't see Sherlock's Aim and Hide, or his bases, or his crossbows, or his sexy--

Oh a.... heheh... uhm.... yeah.... err.... yes... no. Fuck. Piss... uhm 10x2 is 20 right? Well did you know if we multiply 20 by 7 we get 140. Then divide that by 7 and you get 20, that's really cool. But divide 20 by 4 and you get 5, then multiply 5 by 2 and you get 10 and we're back at the start.

Congratulations, you have accomplished absolutely nothing.

Also okie I see.

Okie, I'm glad.

Cause that's fun.

I thought schadenfreude played a bigger part in it. I mean, I only ever watched Mangs's ironman runs because I enjoyed seeing him fail and make an ass of himself after all his gloating and his dickheadedness.

Though... I suppose I should hope I'm at least a tiny bit more likeable than Mangs, of all people.

Ewww!

Stinky, stinky movement.

You know, if FE is giving us this off-screen bullcrap, we better be getting off-screen goodies.

Hah! Well, no. That'd require Kaga to be a kind man. And he isn't.

inb4 Reese isn't a sociopath. He's just possesed or sth.

That's been The Roger's theory from the start.

Erzh-no I'm not doing this again.

C'mon... That's no fun.

Heh, Rockefeller... who was the nazi higher up tho? Did I miss him?

There was a generic Derrick-lookalike miniboss in chapter 5 whose name was Goebbels. Not to mention Himmler in FE1. Kaga just loves his nazi names, apparently.

Heath.png Do you know where the Tactician is from Reese?

Meoilxpy o Spain.

Heath.png Do you... know where that is?

Meoilxpy oFuck no.

Heat.png It's... gonna be hard to explain...

W715uzae oReese watch your mouth please or I'll tell your dad.

Heath.png Bruh.

Meoilxpy o Dude. Not cool.

Too soon.

Lol this guy? Heheh

Him again. It's kinda sad to think that by now he's tied with a few others for the most appearances in my LPs.

romance? in my fanfic? never...

I wrote the best romance I could, as a man who is a complete and utter failure at romance.

pfft, the funny thing is I have an acquaintance with a pfp of esteban lol. seeing him here surprised me lol.

Well, I guess the fact that he's been presumed dead the entire LP does not help.

It's possible to just have someone run in, grab the Raze Etoile, and run out. Though, I relied on a promoted Czene to evade Thor while Volo ran away, so that may not be feasible. Plus, since I'm pretty sure Thor has crit, yeah, it might be a good idea to just run.

The Raze Etoile isn't even good. I don't think I've ever used it at all.

Also, if Enid dies, have fun with all the armors/gigas in 15. Speaking of which, I'm curious - how has 15 been for you on your previous runs? Took me like 45 turns my first time, but my most recent attempt was only 19. That map is scary.

15? Harder than 14, but still nothing compared to 13, 12-2 or 11-2. It has a couple of tricky parts, but it's not that bad.

I really don't know what Kaga was smoking when he decided to make Adel basically worse from a promotion that's crazy hard to get. Greatlance Adel is a meme I'd like to see, at least.

So would I. So let's strive to make it a reality, shall we?

Neil's music is fantastic. He has 3 albums of mashups and weird stuff like this, all of which are really good. I'd absolutely recommend you listen to them in some free time - each are about an hour long and have some genuinely incredible songs in them.

Duly noted.

Now I'm curious as to the Tactician's actual stats - would his defense be infinite because he has control over all the playable characters and technically exists beyond the game's universe, or zero like all the other civilians in the game's files?

Infinite defense, but luck resistance of -100, so everyone still deals heavy damage every time. Because my luck is great like that.

At least all of them are not-so-inconspicuously hidden in the only bushes on the map. Especially since you have Larentia around to help out. 

Yeah, you know what else is hiding there? Overwatch archers. Also the three horsemen who aren't hiding. Larentia would get shredded if she tried to reveal them.

At least it'll be useful in Heretic God. The real question is, was it worth the lives of his family?

I mean, he won't even put the damn thing on.

besteban nooooo

Besteban yes.

I haven't been following the fanfic much, but didn't he get the spell a few updates ago? 

Yeah, that's right. Took it off the previous villain, who... required that you have read my first LP to get him.

I'm bad at writing self-contained stories.

you can't win against valerius guenchaos chaos black knight gharnef

Ahahahahahahah... I love how you literally never do win against the first two. Valerius fucks off the plot after buffing Therenius's imbecilic ass, and Guenchaos becomes a god to give the player a chance to beat him.

I swear to god if Arina shows up in this fanfic

Well... Who knows.

Not much chill update stuff today. Been busy, dealing with some somber stuff here in the States. Considering how often American news seems to pop up even if I'm trying to look at world news, you might know what I'm talking about. I'll probably have more humor/jokes next response. 

I may've heard some things... I'm truly sorry for everyone living in the US.

Antivirus is not enough!

You need P R O T E G E N T

Nice.

Very.

Ah, true enough. I hadn't played FE until...Well, mid-october, I guess. I missed the buildup to FE16 entirely.

Oh, you've only been playing FE for that long? It rather surprises me...

Certainly. I guess I'm just mad about Felix, the edgy myrmidon being the best FIUGAYDVSHB BEST UNIT IN THE GAME AGAIN

It happens. Far too often so.

If it's any consolation, I like Leonie too...

Hurray.

Then again, I'm the one who unironically thinks that axes are good in FE6 and that Eligood is the best FE7 lord. Maybe it's not a consolation.

Hey, Lot hard-carried my FE6 run and I agree completely about Eligood (heck, didn't you hate him until I kept pressing you to use him and he turned around?), so... yeah, still a consolation.

Duh! It's the same case for Oliver. One note and manipulative, but his gorgeous-yet-lewd design is too appealing for most humans to dislike him.

Pssch... Please don't compare the most beautiful character in videogames to the likes of Hilda.

All jokes aside, Oliver is funny and a meme. Hilda's just Camilla, except she's worse than Camilla at the things that make Camilla popular. And then she's worse than everyone else at being an actual character. So what the fuck? You'd think Dorothea would be the new Camilla, since her design is even more obvious than Hilda's (although she is an actual character that I rather like, at least); but no, it's Hilda that floods the subreddit with fanart of her! Why? Why does everyone have terrible taste except for me? Me!? No one else!?!

I actually like his pretimeskip too, actually.

I like both, but people hate his pretimeskip for... Some reason that I cannot comprehend.

Lysithea has killed me fewer times...Even considering every time I read her supports.

Pffft!

Kaga's version of waifubait.

Bait the player into trying to recruit the waifu. Only to find out that she's a generic and now Reese is surrounded by minibosses.

Supporter archer in 10's main mission. The one who crippled Elbert while he still had 17 HP left.

Ahhhhhh... Well, his name is funny.

Well, Perceval's...Dire Thunder...Has only 60% hit, right? No wonder he missed.

Same as thunder, yes. Actually, dire thunder is exactly thunder, only difference is that it has two hits.

No man, it's a strat! Y'know, arriving fashionably late? Make her want you? Yeah, that's what it was.

Until Tianna tells her his words and she hates him. Maybe. I wouldn't be sure with Cecily...

Arina is saved! Maybe.

I couldn't be so cruel, could I?

EAAAAAAAAAGAGGHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!

...Only just a tiny bit.

How dare you make Estie join the bad guys, I'll kill you!

Hey, at least I'm doing something with the guy! Before this update he was presumed dead in a ditch somewhere!

Unless he gets to marry Sophie anyways.

Pfft... Well, we'll see.

Wait till they re-elect that disaster again...

Pffft...

Who?

How do you expect me to remember ten thousand characters that all look the same from a game I hate, if you can't even remember Erzheimer's maid?

It's a girl.

Figures.

Also, Indra pretty much obsoletes her (or at least she would if she wasn't among the rarest units in the game...)

Of course, the best one is extremely difficult to get. Gachas! Gachas are joy!

I think you have mistaken her for someone else.

Maybe.

Can you blame me, really? They all look the same.

(You know, the worst part of you being so far behind is that I don't get your reaction to all my replies until I've long since forgotten about them)

Well...

... maybe?

I mean, don't get me wrong, I think they'd be a lot more interesting characters after getting disemboweled by Medic, but... I do not believe you will agree.

F

Yes. Very much F. You think if I had pulled Wrys I'd actually like gachas?

No, I would not. I still did get a full team of characters I liked. It was when I tried playing the game and realized it was FE but ten times worse than I dropped out.

Skyrim.

Hah!

Yeah, i know the guy: on the plus side, Spain at least still remembers him well enough to not repeat the same mistake anytime soon...

Well, that remains to be seen, I'm afraid...

Welp, it seems she agrees:

a2cec1dd-0331-41ee-b405-fa7245c4779b.jpg

(Also she's a filthy liar, as her 2nd skill straight up turns her damage from phisical to magical AND lets her restore health on hit: if that's not a "weird crazy power", i don't know what would be...)

It's the power of badass. It's the same power that allowed Eugen to curbstomp Holmes despite the fact that Holmes is a great unit and Eugen apparently can't swing a sword anymore.

Her.

There's three people in that comic strip.

https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Regigigas_(Pokémon)

All right...

This.

(I forgot Breeze gives Clue5 too, but then again she needs to be E2 for that)

And this.

Be honest, do you really think I understand anything when you start talking about the technicalities of Arknights's gameplay? Like, I'm supposed to just read that some person gives a thing called Clue5 if she's E2, whatever that means, and then nod my head and go "oh yeah, that makes sense!".

No! I don't know the game, nor do I want to!

It most likely took way more effort to design her sword and animate her attacking with it though...

(Heck, if they wanted her to attack with her nails they could have just copied Mousse's attack animation)

I'll concede this point for the simple reason that I don't feel like going on Google to compare this person's animations to the rest of the swordsmen in Arknights. Especially because you're replying to my replies from a week ago and I don't remember what we were talking about.

Pretty sure Axel didn't even appear in update #59 though...?

I can't remember.

O RLY?

(Well, she is actually one of the weakest units in the game so yeah, she definitely would)

Nice. I was right.

Nope...?

Fucking hell...

That was just me ranting about how much i've lagged behind with this LP (and how it seems i'm never gonna catch up at this rate...)

You know, maybe you should just... stop trying to reply to every single update and just jump ahead instead?

What's so random about linking a song about an albatross in the update literally titled after an albatross?

Well, what the hell do you want me to do? You're seven updates behind! I didn't know you were there!

It's all Perceval's fault. He didn't cripple with lightning!

Oh!  Darn dummied-out text...

Seems to be the case.

In that case, I'll include it here. It consists of three messages on its three pages:

Page 1:

Once every four days, Jagnar's
walking trees become the best
place to hunt and augment.
Sirs Orange, Gray, Green, Black,

of the princess, and I will begin

Page 3:

archery from my father, who is
called the Jester, as he is one
of the greatest in all Berwick.
  -Anonymous

Hah! It really doesn't make any sense.

Finally, I'm like 70% sure that the "Volpoz"—the official romanization for Japanese ボルポス boruposu, taken from the guidebook—is meant to be a corruption of Latin vulpes "fox." #justtranslatorthings

That's pretty cool. I guess the assassins really are kinda like foxes, lying in wait for unsuspecting prey.

I hate them.

 

 

Absolutely nothing:

Spoiler
Czajsqgk oQh3ntykk oLg1mwjch o

Preparations.

Aubf78jt o

Map theme.

23oiacos o

Team. Adel is here to get a spear point or two. Sherlock is here to get a level or two. Perceval is here to miss.

A4eucwyz o

Oh yeah, bandit map! Except these aren't like the early bandits. These are legitimate threats. Mostly. The team is initially stuck in the canyon, only being able to advance through a narrow path north. To the right, there's a few archers ready to pick us out the moment we advance, a horseman, and a bunch of enemies that won't come down to get us, actually. There's a couple of nice goodies to be found up on the hill, so we might want to take control of it.

To our left, more horsemen. They cannot reach us in the initial area, but beyond that, it's all fair game for 'em. The boss is standing right next to us, on the seize point, but the bridge is up, and they won't be lowering it any time soon. We could send Larentia or Axel to lower it, but it's guarded, even if it doesn't look like it at first glance. There's also a swordmaster miniboss that we'll check out later, and a bunch of Overwatch archers and assassins hiding in the woods. All in all, not my favorite set-up. Kinda terrified of this map, not gonna lie. Expect cowardly tactics.

Rvsttdpt oDuldkzcl o

A random guy called Holun is hanging out here with a panacea. Kaga liked him so much that he turned him into a woman, added an extra E and made that a playable character in Vestaria.

Nnks1ans oJ1pbzieq o

Qw7oq4ks oMy daughter is ill, and it is the only treatment we have... Please, sir!

2p5qgh4o oYou remind me of my father... All right, I won't take it from you.

Qw7oq4ks oR-Really?! Oh, thank you, thank you!

Quolerlq o

Oh. Well, that was painless en--

Xam5wgq0 oWugwjr4x o

...Son of a bitch...

Zimohtjq o

Well, fuck, that was horrible...

2p5qgh4o oI said *I* wouldn't take it. I didn't say anything about what my men might do.

Qyrtaefa o

2p5qgh4o oWe're thieves, aren't we? Robbing and killing is like breathing for men like us. Now, then... Looks like a bunch of hoity-toity knights have decided to grace us with their presence. Wonder if they're here for my head. Too bad they'll be dead before they even get a chance to see it.

Qgq25ttg o

2p5qgh4o oDon't get antsy. As long as we keep the bridge up, they're trapped in the canyon. If you really want to cut them up, go down there yourself.

Hiyigysd oYou don't mind? That's a first. You're always so strict about how your plans go down.

2p5qgh4o oNothing wrong with mixing things up every once in a while. The only way they can get up here is by crossing the shallows at the far end of the canyon. Whether you go or not, they'll still be good and dead by the time they make it here. Heh heh...

J2wzuf2p o

Simple objectives today.

9ryc6esd oF3vgqehg o

To begin, I want safe access to the hill. This is not possible when there's a horseman asshole running around shooting people.

4achu8dc oMho0xvly o

Here we go.

Mmsr5omm oDljzyiu5 o

...No. Scratch that. We don't go.

Bcucaqrq o

Okay, maybe we do go.

Gtpl7vya oOriloyit o

Sherlock could've died there. Fun fact.

Blltxgka o

This one does not seem to move. Not yet, anyway. That is great.

V7udohs5 o

With the archer having waited, it is safe to do this.

R3vqklsc oCe8la0h8 o

Now that is epic. Starting the map off by slaughtering a horseman.

Acq6mv1b o

Pirates are coming. They could use the road, but instead they feel like showing off and swimming all the way downstream.

Sykoov3x oGn7cwaq2 o

Now... pay attention to these two enemies.

Yobwnnx8 o

That's an Erzheimer item if I ever saw one.

X36jxh3l o

That's a death if I ever saw one. 32 hit? I don't care if he has 1. If the chance exists, he'll fuck us.

Mblkkk39 o

Burroughs has a very specific purpose in this map, for which he begins to cry. He can only move 1 hex at a time, and he can't even climb the hill. Not that he wants to. In fact, I'll be surprised if I have to ever move him at all.

Mhkawv5c o

As stated in the cutscene, Friz will be going all the way around the map to get us.

Qzkaslav oCfrlz2dh o

Friz is extremely dangerous. He has crit, 17 AS, Deathmatch, increased movement... However, he does have a key weakness: his brace grants him increased hit, but lowered avoid. This is a weakness that we will exploit.

Chktpv2b o

Well... I think that's it. Next turn, either Adel or Sherpa will try to lure the gore forker closer.

Xisvmcwo oXcriyupr o

Another Overwatch. We can't afford to miss this one, so sniper arrows it is.

3xmqtftg o6gqddsyn oQxcil53h o

The reason why is...

Hyxdvy7z o

The guy has a brave bow. Yeah.

Ceph4acy oHahhsun3 oDjjw8i5d o

Not for long, however.

Wbiupmoj o

Larentia level hype.

Rh3a2cri o

Oho! That's actually pretty darn good!

Ozvepq82 o

Now, I think it's about time to reveal the reason Burroughs is here.

F1ss80bc o

Well... This was the initial reason I brought Burroughs here, anyway.

S0ere3xa oAkq3d7uq o

An assassin with 7 strength. He drops two gold coins (that's 2000 denarii) and Holun's panacea. Fighting him head-on is a dumb idea, but he doesn't have Spearbane, so Larentia could just wreck him with Windsweep. That said, if Larentia crosses over to that side, the horsemen will come racing down to shoot her down, and they're all quite strong, so I prefer to have Burroughs do it instead.

Xhj7kizx oRclkwchi o

There we go.

Q04rsdwi o

Second cry.

Bpt3yvss o

...We have done nothing at all this turn.

Wwfgcvbc o

Uhh... Okay, so Friz just said that. You know, I don't see how we can entertain you when you're, like, 10 turns away from getting to us. Though if you want, I can have Perceval cast some fireworks. Knowing him, he'll probably miss the sky and blow you up from all the way overthere...

Bm4r4phx o

Anyway, third cry.

Ysyxx4l5 oC0n4h2ta o

Hmmm... Enemies.

Mogwet4q o

Set Sherlock up to give 'em a warm welcome.

Notice, by the way, that the axeman and the rogue both waited at the same time. And also that the rogue hasn't come to us. I think the reason is that the enemies up on the hill are set to refuse to cross the cliff tiles.

Zzvoaope o

I'm terrified of this guy. Perceval is just two points shy of being able to bring him down. Bah...

Zvhjj8to o

We have made little progress.

Ugdbntpq oR8fwtwpt o

Okay, new idea. Sherpa will disarm himself and hop onto the hill, so he may try to lure the rogue away from the axeman's range.

Hblywcdi o3ewqntd6 o

Ahh, that worked! Now, if he could just not get hit...

Qwr7jdzc oEjeq2cuc o

Excellent. Flawless execution, Sherpa! Execution of the plan, I mean. He ain't gonna be executing much of anyone without a weapon.

D0ntczg4 o

Up on the other side, another plan has been successfully conducted.

4aq0lisl o1yrhoyt4 oPwn3zvq0 o

Could this be the sequel to the last map? I mean, once is a fluke, but if this keeps up Sylvis might face some serious competition. In the form of the man nobody expected to amount to anything, no less!

Mc6nxtqd o

Right next to one another, huh. That's good.

Mpyut0mw oDue4fxcn o0wvck7fb o

Double-Shot time!

Kytjurie oLrowjj19 o

O--Pfff... What!? As soon as I start praising him, he gets cocky and immediately proceeds to fail catastrophically! Damnit, Sherlock, we cannot afford this!

9fg5q5kj o

Larentia, go and-- GOAAAHH

Jwddfzsz o

Oh, no... please...!

H3ipmjym o

Hooo...

Ryzllkhj o

Okay. That went better than it could have.

32otewa9 o

This is what I wanted to do. I'd use the Euthyphro, but the Euthyphro is at yellow durability.

Lsyorhdq oC8ax4l7g oRii82za2 o

All right...

Vmz1nv8c o

This isn't bad... But we can't let the pirates slip past us. If one of them reaches Burroughs, even if they don't hit him, his crying will be undone. Can't have that.

Immxadfg o

This is the most reliable option at the time. Heck... Don't fail me now, Adel! Remember your training. Show us that you don't need Leon!

Qjefqkys oC95vdiqj o

Good, very good!

Uqw4koh8 o

Fourth cry.

Sfgn5nlp o

No shit, Sherlock.

Euilmzmc oHm?

Lgjkwhcy o No, not you, Sherlock.

Euilmzmc oIs there another Sherlock around here?

Lgjkwhcy oNo, it's... it's just... look, it's a joke, but you wouldn't get it.

Euilmzmc oAnd why not? It's a joke with my name. At the very least, I think I'm entitled to an explanation!

Lgjkwhcy o Well... uh... It's a reference to... Look, it's going to get confusing if I explain, and this whole gag has gone on for long enough, so let's move on.

Euilmzmc oHey, now wait just a minute--

Uedfz3v4 o Moving on!

Djzmex5y o

It's turn 5, and we've barely moved from the starting area.

7yk0epdz o

We've moved enough for this to happen, though! Gah...!

Xb6mlscp oYzwhd2gi o

Phew... We're good.

Flkxy9t0 o

And now Sherpa's under attack too. Bleeehhh...

Xgbdagss oZukkmicl o

One hit this time.

Xcmuecb8 o

The reason this is all happening is that I used my first move of the turn to set up yet another Overwatch.

Qe5kbtad o

Noooooooo, Sherlock...

G783wxrd o

Well, not that he's gained much from the dodge. He's still fallen straight into the Adel trap.

Etakyu2z oYjwk3sm5 o

Ahahahahah! Yes! This is never not a fun sight.

Pxtojori o

While that is going on, Larentia begins to work on injuring this fellow.

Ccuejpph oIn5cfsm8 o

Unfortunate, but we can try again.

0ddzcxa6 o

Sherpa, you get out of there. No point in letting him chip away at your health now.

Nhe9ozpg o264lr7nu o

With the first pirate down, let's go for the second.

I44mqcl9 o

Adel.

Jekgrtnw o

Fuck.

...No, I didn't notice he's glowing red. Why?

Bn3e73wy oQtdesrd3 o

There we go, Burroughs is safe.

Ua5s561m o

Turn six time. Sherlock's rather low, so he runs.

Cyjj0m8k o

Ahh, fuck! Horseman! ADEL!

S6i1xjdt o9s2monjq o

Okay, that's... not so bad, actually. Thank you, Adel.

Bv5bhkiq o

Eyyyy!

Xstrvmck oU1mwwnbz o

FUUUUUUUUUUUUCKSTOP!!

Tkrlgh64 o

You know, I don't think I realized back then just how close Adel was to death right here.

Tzb40e16 o7zgdxrrh o

Very. Very close. Like, "one more arrow and he's done" close.

Nok63svw oOauzsad5 o

Walk away slowly from death, Adel. Make no sudden movements...

Jey6oj1x oFnudfmqs o

Damnit, you serious? C'mon. What's a man gotta do to get a gore fork?

9lhlzs4o o

Fifth cry, I think.

5zq7zvbg oCcv1b3tq o

Fuck this. I can get the gore fork some other day. Third time's the charm, as they say. This is only the second.

Lzrjvjcl oOsnotrzc o

Just like so. Now we can finally proceed.

Uuok4awq o

Turn 7, holy shit... Well, I did say to expect cowardly tactics, didn't I?

Pwfye9rd oVgdhr2l9 o

Speaking of.

Mifartx6 o

Nice, he didn't fail this time.

Psgyi8ub o

Sixth cry! There's a max, but I'm not sure what it is. Guess we'll find out.

Qnj2odeu o

Oh, boy... Friz has almost made it to us... Holy shit...!

Sjc9pskv oKlhw93nt o

Well, we'll worry about that when it becomes a problem. First off, a heal for Sherpa in preparation for what is to come.

3uxycdfm oGflovpfs o

This, to be precise. His chance to hit Sherpa should be minimal, but I am not taking any chances.

Lbz0x4nj oNlmaavaz o

ADEL!? WHAT THE HELL! IS PERCEVAL'S NEGATIVE INFLUENCE SCREWING WITH YOU OR WHAT!?

Zapm5cxp o

Okay, then. Larentia can--

Xwgncj18 o

...Or not. Apparently flying over a withdrawn bridge is just out of the question. Sure, okay, whatever you say, Berwick Saga.

Fr7rhca7 oE8tip6za oUbrzvbv8 oUc2mxvfb o

Fine, then. She can fly a little bit further to do this.

Cwjhp6r7 o

Ah! Friz!

I6ueoiso o

So... My original plan was, of course, to have Burroughs shoot Laon down. I was just waiting for as high a hitrate as possible. But since Friz has snuck up on me while I wasn't looking, I think I'll save up the bolt for him, instead.

Umdhwliu o

Ah, no more Battle Cries? What a shame... this'll have to do, then.

7bzmczfc o

...What the fuck... What? The axeman didn't move!? What's the AI on that guy!?

Eb8nxpf1 o

How do you expect me to beat you if you won't c--

...Oh. 0% hitrate.

......

Pffft. Okay, nice.

Kpk7hub6 o

He does have some odds against the Brymranger. A miss would be catastrophic, so let's not try that, shall we?

Zfxnbtpe oX35jgsxm o

Instead, we'll take it slow, with the longsword.

Tbuzo2p2 o

Yeah, that's never going to work.

Jqkw8xzv o

Hah! In fact, the Counter got him doubled! Nice, how kind of him to cut to the chase. If you don't get how it works, the Counter skill basically made the fight continue as if the enemy didn't get hit. Since Sherpa didn't get hit either, he moved on to his double strike.

Ms6vakib oKczrumba o

Bottom-line, we win and now Sherpa has one more hitpoint. Hurray for him.

Pliyvjhd o

Let us continue.

Snvcldhq o

See Friz, under Larentia's shoulder? I have placed Larentia where she is for a reason. If things go the way I want 'em to, Larentia will be in the perfect position to do a Windsweep.

Iu6alnci o

Just in case, though, I'll move Sherpa back. Wouldn't want Friz to try climbing up the hill.

Wrwgtrec o

Yes! It worked! Ahahahahah... Can you guess where you have fallen, Friz? I'll give you a hint: It starts with a T and ends with a musical genre.

Zyezfpwv o

Hwahahahaha... Ahahahahah! This, right here! This is the true power of Burroughs!

Tndvjqe6 o

Music.

Kysulruz oLhqgegnx o

Ahh, but as much as I'm looking forward to doing that, I think Larentia shall go first. Then Burroughs can get the finisher.

5y6fnkuu o

Ahem.

Heyn6dtg oJ3fyncg7 o

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH! HWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH! POWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRR!!!

Sg1locbx o

"The fight of my life"? What kinda life have you had that this is the fight of your life? You got speared once then shot by the biggest ballista bolt in the world! You didn't even get to swing your sword!

L1cvtc7o o

You can't be serious. He just killed a boss! Don't leave him hanging like that...!

Qoptccv8 o

Oh look, it's a guy. A guy called Logis.

Ogyoljur o

The fabled brace grants defense but lowers strength. It'd be handier if you could give it to units with actual defense. As it is, most people who can use it have no defense to begin with, so the extra 2 barely makes a difference. I guess getting Sherpa to 8 defense is cool? Though, to be honest, the strength loss is pretty bad.

Nyvoae2o oUs3ukeor o

Well, Logis is still far, so let's continue movinAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA CRIT

Zmtrwtul o

That was so risky, he could've died there.

9yjt6zsg oFbpfvqxb o

That looks like a nice kill for Sherlock. Out of everyone on the map, he could use the experience the most.

Ms6qfcfn o

Okay, let's begin anew. Battle cry!

Nryzydds oNejvi974 o

Meanwhile, Adel will stay nearby to help protect Burroughs from the ongoing waves of pirate reinforcements. They've started to carry throwing axes now.

Vxrgtomx oAarwiiqr o

Next, Larentia softens-- Oh, fuck, no!

Obmnikay oXpxgn8nn o

Larentia! The Euthyphro is yellow! Don't waste uses like that!

Fvfgdowr o

Guess that's another kill for Larentia, then.

Sirusz9s o

C'mon, Sherlock. Prove to me that last time was no mere fluke!

Rgl0ojhk oH4vti2vi o

This is the way.

Ivl1ykrv o

Pocket change, cool!

Yarptvbk o

I've been seeing that 18 HP since the first turn. I am tired. Let's remedy it.

Ayqz9xmj o

Next enemy. I think this might be the rest of the map. Just... Sherpa jeiganing things for Sherlock.

V5hi5cm5 o

W-W-Whoa, what!?

Tv93w64l o

No, no, double back! What the hell just happened!? I didn't even screenshot the guy's hitrate, because it was so low I thought, surely, that couldn't possibly land!

Emfxqtjp o

Now I have to suspend the game. I think I've mentioned this before, but unlike in FE, suspend data is not erased when you load a different save. So I get to go back to screenshot the bastard's hitrate without resorting to save states. Handy!

J7dh5hxn o

Fucking hell, are you serious!? 6% chance! And he nailed it! What the hell!?

V2e3qrcd o

Here's a bonus image of Perceval getting almost one-shot.

A2d0wtil o

Back to the canon timeline. Grumble grumble...

Rnirvq0f o

For your insolence, you shall perish!

2jk178vs oTcn6um73 o

Yey.

M9o62aqp o

Eyyyy! Only two more!

H9zug2yw o

Eyyyy! Only one more!

Ujrnn7e5 oLh7l2uks o

More pirates with franciscas. I don't know why I waited this long to show that they're using franciscas. Pretty sure the last couple of pirates already did.

9hds6ie7 o

More crying.

6ohfxszw oMpplviuh o

Incidentally, Logis wasn't the final pirate reinforcement. More guys are still coming. This one has hatchets, which have crit. I hate crit. It kills my units to death.

9cqkzyzz oMcde5sfu o

Full speed ahead, Adel!

Xdaetx7v o

Thanks.

97zhgnxj o

And now, Larentia.

Lmhtflmz oLggustrx o

I know, not the most riveting action today. I was scared, all right?

Mjxlu3a1 o

More crying into a bottle.

Xpqbn3jx o

Jesus, though... It's turn 13 and this is what things are looking like. Not gonna lie, I feel rather pathetic with my performance today.

Ejmjyrpf o0b7nm37e o

Also, I was unable to wait until a save so I could savescum Adel's level.

Y90m6ivh o

Mehhh... Well, if it's at least half good...

Akopedsl o

YES! YES! ADEL! THE DREAM IS ALIVE!

Yvyk4irc o

This archer doesn't seem to want to move. Maybe he wants Sherpa to be in range of one of his friends so they can team up? I dunno...

50o2kspl o

Well, I'm sure Sherpa can handle this. It's an anti-Derrick weapon, in an area that Derrick cannot access. More importantly, however, this will be a great weapon for us to use against enemy Derricks... if I can get my axemen to level 18.

Duwdqdxd o

Make very sure not to put Sherpa in Logis's range... If you didn't notice, he has a killer axe.

Hv5cegna o

You know the drill by now.

Mm8znzux o6s09ctka oTkcnbbto o

Uhhh, cute particles!

Ga78hc5g oV0f8x9ao o

Rossweisse time.

Syxdcage oWj7lov9m o

This bow is too good, I swear.

Zl7gsvvp o

And the hammer is ours! He fired the last of his iron arrows for it.

Mmhhieuh o

Hey... Wait, what? What do you mean, out of control!? You haven't reached us yet!

5zgqlkue o

Well, for now, let's just worry about the enemies ahead of us.

Wkngnpfe oBacppkrd o

This right here is the biggest threat to Sherpa's life. He cannot tank this. A free physic is really good, though, so I definitely want to kill this fellow.

Nazf34hh o

I don't want to face that just yet. Let's instead face that other guy.

14z3ezkz o

Yeah, no.

O8llojvd oUhy4spwp oEivv8glb o

Sherpa, don't do that.

Tqd2p6yx o

Logis! Wait!

6ote6qiq o

I have a present for you!

Otaaae3o o

Good line, good line. Though I don't think you quite understood what they meant when they called you terrible...

A8udx954 oO8jselzf o

Good. And now...

N89evwgk o

I get to pray that Burroughs does not fail me.

6xciedjb oWklupdkn o

I mean, the brace isn't great, but free item is free item.

Wj6vszrh o

And down he goes! Man, all the bosses in this map have just been unceremoniously Burroughsed. It feels rather good!

Xpf1bbc0 o

Hahahahahahahah... Yes it was, but don't worry. It suited you well.

Y2cckt0j oIkx1klep o

Just as Aim suits Burroughs like a glove! Ahahahahah... Cower in fear from my power! Or, well, his. Whatever!

Nfjfro99 o

I'm... not sure how Burroughs retrieved that thing from the other side of the river. Hmmm...

Zgvxqdtm o

...Yeah, let's move on.

Nrh0f78o o

Very well, Sherlock. Succeed where Sherpa failed!

Xmw2ppvm oJoxx73kw oNeovdjo7 o37pdqdjf o

Baaahhhhh...

G3nxp1wp o

One-Two it is. Surely he cannot miss this?

L6bck3ve oIn0byln6 o

See?

Sgfhrmxa o

Halfway to another level. If I can get him to 13 today, I'll be content. Getting him to 15 would be too difficult, I'm afraid...

Iajoskn8 o

Speaking of 15.

H2ot9l0x oPp9kc6by o

Ahhhh, what a sight to behold! With 33% increased hitrate, I don't think I even need to waste time crying. I can just try this!

Hszd47ar oDlx4mbc5 oOonbuexy o

A shame. Well, next turn will be it.

Ekiax5hj oAidhomtu o

Now... The northern front has encountered a problem. The problem being I can't have Sherpa pull the horse thief without risking death by fire.

Qvhxzunm o

The solution is, as always, to see if we can get the priest to wait, but not the thief. Or viceversa, but that's the way I'd like it, personally.

I3odckgc oOpyshfnc o

While that happens, we watch Burroughs take down yet another miniboss.

R8qa6n6p o0y9fqng2 o

That's the only good thing about assassins. They're worth a truckload of experience.

3kyfqqgr o5yeh3fal o

Burroughs puts his superpowers to good use again, and obtains Laon's loot. Panacea is great. Not as great as that little girl somewhere who is going to die, or that dad who has already died a painful death in the middle of nowhere. But... hey. Free panacea. Yahoo...?

Jte0g5b0 o

Ahah! That's it! That's what I wanted! Thank you, enemies, for being so cooperative.

Kyfogkpg oK1tcxehh o

All right, here we go!

9f76qgzf o

Crit, but he couldn't possibly kill Sherpa.

Ofja5ukw o

The reason he's equipping the Brymranger is that I wanted this guy dead as soon as possible, so as to safely lure the bishop closer next.

Hgpdkacv oBaju6hrq oF6o2d6d7 oDwlvckl1 o

...Then Sherpa decided that he was really into his role as a Jeigan.

Wgnpduuh o

You know what? Thanks. Really. Only problem is, I cannot afford to let this guy run loose, so I have to spend another sniper arrow...

Jyqpvwbb oG0epswlz oQxwtwivu o

Sherlock kills things for experience to catch up to the team: The map.

Vncl8bha o

Uhhh!

Gyjq5d49 o

Sniper arrow can go in the bag.

1zfixu8m o

And with that, he runs back. We'll let Sherpa handle the corrupt priest.

Tgftapoj o

The battle on the southern front continues. The battle to protect Burroughs.

Yszaadz4 o

It's doubly important to protect him from this mofo. Remember, hatches, crit...

Rvo7ooss oCdp1fmqp o

Since I'm sick of Larentia only having fancy spears, I have her retrieve Adel's spare iron spear.

7ecr4i5x o

A shame she can't promote. Then again, given in Kaga games it usually goes pegasus -> wyvern, I guess she's technically prepromoted? There's a pegasus class in the game's code, but it goes unused.

74kutbyi o

Shit...

Ah845bym o

Yeah, Burroughs can do it instead.

7wfvbpig o

Phew... Not gonna lie, that could've been bad.

3kkxbsme o

Brace for impact...!

Hha2rx7g o5axa10ju o472mfzvu o

Oof! That's gonna sting in the morning...

6l2zgpuo oUkhngwzw o

Not to worry, though. The doctor's in the house! The... house that does not exist, because we're in an open plain. Shut up!

Vbkwife5 oOnkzytvm o

I like it.

A1bkftzb o

And now, it's time to quickly dispatch the bastard.

Qawnn3fd o4w4ngk2r o

Mercy just in case he crits. He's almost at a level, but today Sherlock needs the experience more.

Bhiumzfg o

Looks great.

Xg79r8my o

No! What!?

R9q3rqqn o

Well, no problem, since it seems the archers are all stationary still.

Tu6eisxw o

Not... sure why I decided to do this, frankly.

Ybymja8t oIu7rpxaa o

It can't be helped. This menace needs to go down. Last sniper arrow, go!

Ac6vmqnx o

You served us well, arrows. Go in peace, now.

Pvykomgx o

Well? Is it gonna be good?

Uaenobwu o

It's gonna be great! Hell yeah, more strength!

Oizbw5qp o

This is great too. Can't ever have too much physic.

Oxbrtf63 o

Now, you may be wondering. Ruben, why aren't you killing the boss with Burroughs?

Mjmuhhjr oW0b1qxh3 o

Why, that's easy: It'd be a waste of bolts. Gievas is a bounty target, and he's carrying a material, so I'll want to kill him. No hurry, though. The escape point right next to him worries me, but I'm sure nothing bad will happen.

Jx2r0fck oSjipxcad o

Next enemy, c'mon! We're on a roll!

Fvpnrrye oGhfp3rzz o

Excellent.

7f9mxluo o

And with some additional jeiganing from Perceval...

Dyh9h9d1 o

...It is from Perceval all right...

Zoqtibnc oVhi7ku3b o

What a waste of a raijin arrow. Thanks a lot, Percy.

Ic0gbkx7 o

There it is, the bow skill threshold! Now he just needs three levels... Soon, it happens soon! Or, y'know, he dies. I'm hoping that doesn't happen soon. Or at all, preferably.

Mpqfwfcj o

More change.

Tnnttrzt o

Well... This is looking rather deserted now.

0uq2isa6 o

Huh?

Oh, fuck you! Don't tell me he's going to flee!

Wfjmywfq o

Gah! Run, Larentia!

L37u5wya o
 
Ehzd3cjd o

Dying, that's what they're doing.

2p5qgh4o oWell, I'm not out of tricks yet. Let 'em come this way. They're in for a big surprise.

Kko6qruy o

I've no idea what he's talking about. Let's just pick this bag up and go back.

Dlw2zmxd o

Meteoric iron! That's pretty good.

Xcg4rgbp o

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF

Xkutkqrf o

I think I just shit myself.

4nujvvx1 o

Ohhhh, thank goodness... it appears he waited first of all the enemies. That could've been... extremely ugly. To say nothing about the fact that Sherpa just barely avoided his range!

2e0v6yea o

Okay, okay, before I forget in all this excitement. Owen has to go.

At9kztml o

Ahhh, fuck... And of course, the horsemen have all arrived to ruin Larentia's day. I won't be able to block the escape point...

Ci9jx63i o6ewiky0d o

At least I can do some jeiganing.

0y9u6q4b o

Sheesh... What a horrendous sight. Horsemen...!

Hkkepfy0 o

...You know what? Fuck you! Fuck you sideways, I don't give a damn! I already made the repairstone, and I couldn't care less about the knife. Don't get me wrong, it's a good knife, but do you really think I'm going to risk fighting with Thaddy, ever? Fat chance! You can leave for all I care.

Bmhc5o4u oNrnykxye o

The bad news is, I cannot have Larentia escape from the bowmen. Sherlock has to escape urgently, or else he's toast.

4dzbrmgx o

...Oh, God...

Jsyr1rtw o1j5wfeih o75rjgm1a o

Hoooo! She just dodged three arrows in a row from two of the horsemen! What a badass...!

4zk7ehgv o

The last one can't reach, so she's safe now.

Lyvg2ivj o

You know, it just hit me that I probably could've made this work.

Dmcpucly o

Yeah, kill one horseman with Larentia now, then the other next turn, then Canto to the escape point. That's it, Gievas can't escape and he's only aided by a single horseman.

Msywl3nm oEhcrszzo o

Except... It also just hit me that the third horseman has sleep arrows. Leaving Larentia there could've easily killed her. So I'm glad I didn't.

Sujzav53 o

Yeah, whatever the hell you want. Your whole gang is dead. I'd like to see you get anywhere on your own.

Untyauld o1bbojuzf o

Some more Jeiganing.

G1ep5k8w oT64ibbsh o

I will now feed this archer to Sherlock. The upper one kinda scares me, because I didn't take note of the assassin's range. I'll leave him alone.

...That was my thought process at the time, anyway. I didn't realize that I had taken a friggin' screenshot of his movement. Pah...

Cnoj6984 o

Oh no, what a terrible loss. Honestly, the money would've been good, but I appreciate Larentia's life more, thank you very much.

Mouu2tnt oZzwknsch o

'Notha kill for the best horseman.

Ua22ydid o

And with that, it's time for them to rejoin the others.

Lkzoppsr oKiquicd6 o

I think I'll jeigan all three of the horsemen with Burroughs, then feed the kills to Sherlock. Whoa, what a shocker. It's like that's what I've been doing all map!

Z7fz9arm o

Well. Whole lotta waiting now.

E7vasgjp oBxox85b7 o

All right, that looks good enough. I want to be as cautious as possible. All three of them ganging up on Sherlock wouldn't end well.

Crwgimdv o

No! See? If I hadn't waited for them to waste their turns, this would be a dead Sherlock!

22jkmymb oMskcbvxr o

...Or not.

Zwljytjw o

Now, he moves away. Not sure how I'll handle these two. Maybe It's about time to lower the bridge? Then Adel and Sherlock can get one each.

Gejlhm4x o

...Oh, never mind! For some reason, they REALLY like to wait on that spot! Hah, the idiots! Don't they realize that spot means death for them!?

Kenkosra o

Let's go again, then!

0taw3jw5 oYjlx6x3r oWwujpk04 o

Aaaack!

Jrzvnbzw o

Quick! Give him some medicine!

L8wwjcmi o

Phew... Well, that didn't work out so well. But we can try again next turn.

T83iv18s o

There! There! See!? That's the bastard with the sleep arrows! That's why his might is so strangely low!

Xjwvocyr o

This was a bit reckless, but if he had gotten slept, it wouldn't have been the end of the world. Larentia and Burroughs are right there.

Y5hndwhl o8sdezntj o

...D'awwwww... I didn't think that one through well enough.

C7iohcdp o

Welp. Guess we're tossing the thin horse. What a shame.

Hzpd5vvo o

And now, same process. Move away, wait for the enemy to wait, then shoot.

Wpumurgi o

Not this time, bastard!

Im5mg1ee o

More strength?

Aeafhgsm o

Pffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffft!

The reason this has happened is as follows: According to Serenes, if a unit would gain no stats from a level, the game rerolls the RNG so that they gain at least one point of WpSkill. However, 30 is unpromoted Sherlock's max bow level, so he just got luck instead.

For some arbitrary reason, this system does not apply to light magic, hence Izerna's two luck levels.

Whatever the case, Sherlock is only one level away from promotion. I can... taste the power...!

Xc3qhztk o

All right, so... Map's pretty much over.

Bxxcd5b6 o

There's stuff going on there, but...

0a3uloul o1ab30dv0 o

Yeah, you know what? No. I know for a fact that there's also an assassin somewhere around that area. An assassin that drops his knife, to be exact. That's great for Erzheimer, but since we already gave him Riddle's knife, there's no reason to take this absurd amount of risk.

T6elgzuu o

So instead, let's leave Larentia hanging out near the seize point, and play a game.

Ybvyeqvo o

A game called "Let's get Adel some spear points".

2qgych5z o

I lost...

Jq9ee427 o

Oh for goodness's sake... Move!

Fh1uuo3d o

No? Fine, then. Suit yourself.

That's the Rossweisse, by the way. Yep. Best hitrate I could manage against the bastard. A pure coinflip, that's what this is.

Ojtrdrju oN207misy o

There we go, Sherlock promotes.

8w0qexh3 o

......

This has to be the fastest redemption arc in the history of videogames. Three updates ago he was still that one bad archer nobody really cared about because Sylvis existed. Now he's wiped out a map and is going to nab the next promotion of the run. What gives...?

Uoqri5nz o

That's a nice added bonus, too.

K0py0wrx o

Let's seize before I have a seizure.

I... I don't know what to say. Sherlock has turned his act around so fast that it's giving me whiplash. Uh... yeah. Next time, Sherlock promotes. Wrap your head around that. We'll also move on to chapter 10. I can only hope I don't lose anyone there. So, er... Yeah. See you, farewell, and all that.

Or by Deadeyeing your Assassin buddy on turn 1 and then just seize the bridge controls with a good swimmer. Just saying.

Burroughs has a very specific purpose in this map, for which he begins to cry. He can only move 1 hex at a time, and he can't even climb the hill. Not that he wants to. In fact, I'll be surprised if I have to ever move him at all.

Heck, he can't even cross the sand tiles. Only way he is getting out of here is the bridge.
Not that he needs to. He can target most enemies on the hills, the archers in the forests, the Pirates coming down... Not a bad map for him.

Hah! In fact, the Counter got him doubled! Nice, how kind of him to cut to the chase. If you don't get how it works, the Counter skill basically made the fight continue as if the enemy didn't get hit. Since Sherpa didn't get hit either, he moved on to his double strike.

Of course since Sherpa has Counter too, he would have retaliated even if he did get hit.

The fabled brace grants defense but lowers strength. It'd be handier if you could give it to units with actual defense. As it is, most people who can use it have no defense to begin with, so the extra 2 barely makes a difference. I guess getting Sherpa to 8 defense is cool? Though, to be honest, the strength loss is pretty bad.

On my current run, I actually managed to snatch the Gambler Brace in chapter 4. And yeah, that extra 2 defense makes a world of difference for Sherpa that early in the game. But in chapter 9, that boost is a lot less impressive. Well, I guess you could give it to Owen since strength doesn't do anything for him anyway.

I mean, MS in particular has been more open to it recently, though Sony have started as well. This might happen, it might not.

It's also likely most will be on PC regardless, so you're likely safe there and also, the real point of interest is the implications for MS's streaming services as that seems to be the new gaming battleground. No thanks personally.

S0ere3xa oAkq3d7uq o

An assassin with 7 strength. He drops two gold coins (that's 2000 denarii) and Holun's panacea. Fighting him head-on is a dumb idea, but he doesn't have Spearbane, so Larentia could just wreck him with Windsweep. That said, if Larentia crosses over to that side, the horsemen will come racing down to shoot her down, and they're all quite strong, so I prefer to have Burroughs do it instead.

Reese is no crit machine compared to this guy.

I also made the mistake of continuing to watch Retsuko or as I shall now call it "Black Eagles put on animal masks" because the sheer overlap is too much and they don't even hide the similarities. 😛 To put it simply, the guy who played Ferdinand is terrifying me.

Off to make a timetable.

To be fair, FE4's maps is more of a "well damn that does not inspire me with confidence" thing. I have barely played the game, so I really can't offer a proper judgment. When I tried FE4 a long time ago, it was the menus that threw me off. Having played so much KagaSaga, however, I probably could handle them better now. Maybe a new attempt is in order.

Indeed it is, and tbh Prologue is pretty well designed. There's lots to do in different directions, Chapter 1 not so much, Chapter 2 there is tho, and at one point you have to go back so foot units are actually closer, Chapter 3 is well designed with the multiple directions thing, Chapter 4 is aight I guess, and 5 is action packed since the start.

I... I don't know what to say. Sherlock has turned his act around so fast that it's giving me whiplash. Uh... yeah. Next time, Sherlock promotes. Wrap your head around that. We'll also move on to chapter 10. I can only hope I don't lose anyone there. So, er... Yeah. See you, farewell, and all that.

Bait the player into trying to recruit the waifu. Only to find out that she's a generic and now Reese is surrounded by minibosses.

Not like having random female enemies and NPC allies is unheard of in Kaga games.

I'm actually surprised she and the NPC cleric in chapter 14 are the only ones in this game. Well, not that there very many in TRS. Right now I can only recall the generic NPC mage in the temple of wind.
But in Vestaria Saga 1, there are a lot more. There is that one generic female warrior among Sheela's tribesmen. There is the trio you have to murder to destroy the Ordom army's food storage. (And then you murder the lover of one of the girls for good measure.) And there are all the Ordom villagers you murder when invading their territory. There is that one badass cleric among the Templers in chapter 19. And there are several female mini-bosses among the Imperials in the lategame. ...two of them who are grey haired Bow Knights just like Torima, come to think of it.

Oh yeah, sure. That's a good way to approach the death valley. Cliffs to the right, river on the left.

I know, right? Who came up with this idea?

The Sinon Knights really need to fire their strategist.

Hey, now... I had nothing to do with this!

That said, yes, they do.

Or by Deadeyeing your Assassin buddy on turn 1 and then just seize the bridge controls with a good swimmer. Just saying.
Of course lowering the bridge while the Deathmatch Swordmaster is still running around wouldn't be smart.

Yeah, can't be too overly hasty.

Heck, he can't even cross the sand tiles. Only way he is getting out of here is the bridge.
Not that he needs to. He can target most enemies on the hills, the archers in the forests, the Pirates coming down... Not a bad map for him.

It's really not. He can get some stuff done here.

I mean, they get 15% avoid from it.

True.

Of course since Sherpa has Counter too, he would have retaliated even if he did get hit.

Yeah, but if he got hit by that he might die, so...

Well, it would reduce his avoid to 0 at least.

Yeah, but Burroughs had 100% hit anyway.

On my current run, I actually managed to snatch the Gambler Brace in chapter 4. And yeah, that extra 2 defense makes a world of difference for Sherpa that early in the game. But in chapter 9, that boost is a lot less impressive. 

A shame.

Well, I guess you could give it to Owen since strength doesn't do anything for him anyway.

Why would I have him give up immortality in exchange for two defense points? I'll keep it around, but Owen's not getting anything until he loses the miracle charm.

Not so sure about that. Considering Chapter 10 is gonna be the last normal chapter.

Party pooper. Chapter 11 isn't difficult. I can get some stuff done there. I won't lose hope until we're in chapter 13.

Guess tavern priest is finally going to settle the score with Sherlock once and for all.

Hah! It's gonna be the battle of the ages.

Whatever you say, generic palette guy.

Well, you have to give it to him - he is one of the few enemies that fit their battle sprite.

Guy doesn't move. He's just here to go Chariot Requiem on your ass if you try to pick up his precious.

Well, I picked up his precious and he did nothing. Must've caught him napping, since I took so long to reach him.

Yeah. Even the mighty Sherlock cannot carry more then 2 horses at once.

Three, counting the one he had under his butt.

Btw, what horse is Sherlock using right now? He won't get his new horse if he is using a Sinon Stallion or any other special horse.

Half-dead thin horse. Yeah, I think it's a fair sacrifice for the movement horse.

Don't blame me, I voted for Canas.

Of course you did.

I'm going to have to see this, I've seen a bit of discussion related to Dorothea, but not much beyond that.

Compiling this stuff could help make a case.

Well, for a few examples, there's this about the prologue, censorship in Bernadetta's support with Byleth, this absolute garbage, various things in this thread (some of it talks about the same thing as the previous link, but the rest is new)...

Like I said, it is not the typo-ridden, mistranslated mess that was FE7. It's overall okay, but it has its issues.

What about Bornia?

Bornia borders on the south, though, not the east. We'll get a map scene in this update, so you can check the geography for yourself.

Hmm, so Derrick won't be doing anything else beyond showing up on maps from now on?

He knows that if he did more, he'd eclipse every other character in the game.

Derrick seems sus.

Is this a reference to that trendy game about impostors and whatnot?

I remember him telling Arden to go fuck himself on Genealogy, yes.

Kaga is great like that. At least he respects archers more than IntSys...

He's been doing it annually for the last few years, just a fun little piece for the hell of it.

Ah, I see.

I mean, Plot!You's still kind of there in fairness.

Not exactly... it's like, I've kept the FE6/TRS-style fanfic, but on the side I've gone back to the FE12-style moments where I randomly start talking with ingame characters. It's weird like that.

I was saying it was an intentional choice to make him similar yet not. I guess I was kinda right.

Kinda, yes.

I mean, MS in particular has been more open to it recently, though Sony have started as well. This might happen, it might not.

It's also likely most will be on PC regardless, so you're likely safe there and also, the real point of interest is the implications for MS's streaming services as that seems to be the new gaming battleground. No thanks personally.

Well, you know me. PC Master Race and all that. Please don't take my games away from me. I don't want to go looking for a XBOX ONE emulator.

That right there is a top tier asshole.

Top tier asshole that I couldn't kill, to boot.

Fun in the way that watching the shambles that the UK is right now.

So not really.

Errgh... Isn't the whole world in shambles, more or less?

This level, I like it.

ANOTHER!

Yes, please.

Reese is no crit machine compared to this guy.

This statement will become so ironic in the distant future.

What is with you trying to kill the rest of the Sinon knights?

I swear I don't do it on purpose...!

Being slow isn't the same as cowardly, but whatever.

You have a point there. Clearly I am the bravest of tacticians.

So wait, she just can't stand in the pathway of the drawbridge.

The drawbridge she could easily fly out of the way of if it lowered.

Sure.

It's... really weird, to be honest. Usually it applies to buildings, but raised bridges also count for some reason. Guess the bridge is raised so high that the wyvern cannot fly over it?

So that's where speed can be useful.

Yeah, there are a few instances, even if it's not the be-all and end-all stat that it is in FE.

Trap is also a musical genre, sooooooo..........

He fell right into my ttrap!

I guess you can say that Friz's brain was on the fritz.

Ahahahahahahahahahahahahahah...

Adrenaline's a hell of a hormone.

I suppose that is the best explanation.

Either that or he was a hardcore masochist.

So it's money to you.

I'd use this in some other titles, but oh well.

Not really, I'll probably keep it around. 2 defense is still 2 defense.

It was a nice looking lance spin though.

Yeah, Larentia's spear-spinning game is pretty great.

That's nice.

Yet another low percentage hit.

Good thing Sherpa's life wasn't riding on those odds...

I mean, he's trying?

I still believe in him.

Now if he'd get some in combat.....

I just need to get him to level 18 and rig spear levels every single time. I'm sure he'll make it.

...Though I'd definitely appreciate another map with fences...

I still dislike the rank system.

Not gonna lie, it is kind of a bitch at times.

That's so dang high for what it is.

Keep in mind that the endgame's going to be littered with gigas knights that have like 37 defense without shields. The only other reliable option against them is Enid. If I can get someone to use the hammer, it'll be a huge asset. The problem is, well... Axel is only level 11.

I will say shield ignoring's nice.

For that, we still have rapiers and war picks.

...Mostly rapiers.

Is this priest Frollo?

Pffft... Well, who knows. It could be a phony beard.

Or it went down the river and settled near him.

That's another possibility, yes.

Thank you sniper arrows, you will be missed.

Unlike the other arrows which will just miss. #burnwick

Hehehehehe... Good one, good one.

tenor.gif

+2 atk for double shot, that's nice.

Uh... yeah, about that... keep reading.

This is so stupid honestly.

Yes. Yes it was.

And so the other horse roams free, leaving the world none the wiser.

Making them an item in your inventory like this still feels like too much. So I assume they are in inventory until you use them and you can't trade them?

Yeah, that's it. You have to drag the horse around the map until you can go back to base for Tianna to take it to the stables.

I mean, he needs any way to improve his chances with Ophelia.

Might as well make himself luckier.

But... he's more or less already hooked up with her!

No shit from Sherlock now, eh?

None. None at all.

So, to update on the course: it's starting this week officially.

The campus was temporarily closed like they were nationwide.

Ooof.

R.I.P.

I guess I won't be going near the place after all at this rate, though I'm online so that'd be rare to begin with.

That's fortunate enough at least.

I also made the mistake of continuing to watch Retsuko or as I shall now call it "Black Eagles put on animal masks" because the sheer overlap is too much and they don't even hide the similarities. 😛 To put it simply, the guy who played Ferdinand is terrifying me.

I am Ferdinand Von Aegir.

...That's about the only thing I know about the guy. He says his name a lot and he sucks so much I benched him.

Off to make a timetable.

Good luck with that.

My god... I got rickrolled.... I can not believe it! Well atleast you didn't put it here, though I still have access to it.

I am winner. Hahah!

It's not your fault. It's his, for being a PoS (I'm assuming this is sth about my dad, I'm too lazy to go check)

Yes, it was. Oh, well...

Indeed it is, and tbh Prologue is pretty well designed. There's lots to do in different directions, Chapter 1 not so much, Chapter 2 there is tho, and at one point you have to go back so foot units are actually closer, Chapter 3 is well designed with the multiple directions thing, Chapter 4 is aight I guess, and 5 is action packed since the start.

Hmm... But is it as good as Berwick Saga?

But even the fishermen are like no... well that's fine. Wouldn't be too different than before.

You're young, man. You'll have time to worry about all that nonsense.

Lol. Fuck Claude, honestly.

That's what I've been saying since the game came out.

I did the Bwahaha before and you called me Valthome, Valthome!

No, that's not it! You did the Valtome laugh, not that laugh! Also, you keep misspelling his name!

Well Mr, I don't see how that matters with good bows.

Decent Damage x2 > Single Stronger hit

I mean, yeah. Sherlock has his unique advantages. Berwick Saga isn't that unbalanced. Still, don't forget Sylvis has access to crossbows - the rapid crossbow, more to the point. What's better, decent damage x2 or stronger damage x4?

Also did you know Canas has equal speed to his Flux tome's weight, and equal con to his AS when using Flux? It's such a bizarre combination of numbers that for whatever reason tie themselves to each other. Actually I could write a formula to describe why that happens and solve by substitution but I'm too lazy...

That's... weird. You know what's weirder, though? IntSys's obsession with weighing down GBA shamans. All of them except Raigh get weighed down by flux. All of them. It's so dumb.

I'm personally more of a fan that he has to act tough being such a young leader, he secretly cried in his room about his father's death.

That's the boring explanation. The fun explanation is that he's a psycopath.

Himmler in FE1? Bruh.

Yeah. Didn't know about Himmler? In Shadow Dragon they translated it as Heimler, to make it slightly less obvious.

What an absolute shithead....

Humongous so, yes.

Well atleast he hit...

That is something.

Giten Megami Fork

Hahahahahahaha! Absolutely perfect.

A bit of HP, speed so she doesn't get +'d? And strength for big hurt.

Larentia best flier. I mean, there are no others!

Well One-Two was always good.

Really, all the Berwick archers have their own brands of unique utility. Which is why losing half of them hurt so much.

WOOOOOOOO!

Weee!

why are you so surprised? Was he really ever bad?

Not really, but it's just... He's gotten here so fast! Two maps ago he was still "meh archer that misses". He's taken no time at all to make it to "Sylvis's competition"!

Nice. This reply also went to the top for no reason at all.

It went to the top because it's the top moment of the update.

Yeah, got hooked by Sacred Stones, which I chose because I'd heard that it was worse than FE7 in every wat. My disdain for FE7 stretches to the very day I first played it!

Well... Difficulty-wise it's worse. Every single other aspect is better, though - in my opinion at least- so there you go.

Well, I've always quite like Eliwood as a character, but he's been awful in three of my four attempts of ENM. Like, almost getting ORKO'd by enemies on the Durandal map bad. Canas had to go rescue him.

Jesus... Wait, Durandal map? Did you have him equip the Durandal? That thing weighs eight tons...

She at least doesn't really drag down the whole game-Like, the game doesn't forcibly make you strip her down into skimpy clothes then have you run into her chest at the end of it. I guess that's why?

The reason that never happens is that they had no budget. I mean, they already have to cut to black when someone falls over. Imagine such a complex moment as falling on some tiddies. The jiggle physics alone would bring the FPS down to 2!

Because nice nerds=bad character, duh.

Not gonna lie, I would've thought more people would relate to the guy. Especially when he starts to make horny drawings of the goddesses. Isn't that exactly what the fans do?

I actually had Esteban hide then OHKO her. He miraculously was captured!

Ahahahahahahahahah... Marvelous. Well, not really miraculously. Units are always captured when they remain on the map after the time limit.

I presume that the ransom is related to how much you'd pay for 'em as mercenaries? 4400 is rough, especially since that also had me give them one of my prisoners as well.

Yeah, I think it increases with the level.

Percy's hitrates for both combat and Enid are in Dire straits, then.

Pffft!

"Ohh, that's so handsome! Quick, I have to make him say something adorable like 'You might get...wet.'"

8avaxokx oLord Reese, if you have some sort of plan, please share it with us. Right now, I'm desperate enough to try just about anything.

Meoilxpy oIt may not be the most sophisticated of plans, but consider this strategy: My knights and I attack the fort from the front, causing the defenders to focus on us. Then, during the battle, you enter through the rear gate and use the chaos to get to this Paladin Alvina. What happens after would depend on whether you can convince her.

8avaxokx oI see... If you're willing to take the risk, Lord Reese, I'll gladly accept!

Y8ew3fye oIn that case, let us draw up a plan of attack. Firstly...

V58zhlf1 o

No chance of letters today, right...?

Yry97glz o

Oh, well. What a shame...

5ahcm7ll o

It's time for citizen request... s? Well, one of them requires Christine, and the other one requires Leon. In fact, that last one was the beginning of Leon's completely out-of-nowhere character arc. Sadly, Leon had an accident, so it will not be possible to see it. There's a reason for y'all to play the game yourselves one day.

Oe1h5xhm o

Ps4nmuuw oAre you here to visit a loved one?

Lgjkwhcy o No, he's here for the beautiful view of the sea. Of course he's here to visit someone...

Wobk3isb o...! Y-Yeah... My wife...

Ps4nmuuw oYour wife... I see...

Wobk3isb o...Although really, this grave is empty. She's actually buried in Ruan. My name's Lazlow. I'm from Bornia, but I came here when the war broke out, since it wasn't safe anymore...

Ps4nmuuw oOh, I see... Do you work near here?

Wobk3isb oYeah, I do the occasional odd job. Though when I was younger, I dreamed of being a painter...

Ps4nmuuw oThat sounds like a nice dream to have.

Wobk3isb oBack in those days, she still lived in the house next door. She was six years my junior, but... I suppose you could say we were close childhood friends. When I was practicing my painting, she often sat next to me...

Ps4nmuuw o......

2exblgtn o

Lgjkwhcy o You know, I wasn't expecting to get the full life story of a random stranger today.

Wobk3isb oIt was thanks to him that I could even hold a brush properly.

Ps4nmuuw oIt sounds like he was kind and gifted.

Wobk3isb oYeah, he was... But then he got older and his health started to decline. That's when I decided to give up on becoming a painter. Although my grandfather said I should continue doing what I enjoyed... He was declining day by day, so I wanted to focus on making his last days as happy as possible.

Ps4nmuuw oDo you regret giving up painting?

Wobk3isb o...Of course. I'd be lying if I said I don't... My wife and I... We weren't together yet back then. But I was so disappointed in myself for abandoning my dream. I decided that, to make things right, I would make one last painting...

Yavwewcg o

Wobk3isb oI put all my feeling and passion into that one painting.

Ps4nmuuw oIt must have been quite a work of art when you were finished.

Wobk3isb oI wonder about that... At least, my friend loved it. She said she would treasure it forever. Some time after that, my grandfather passed away. I'd worked so hard to try and make his days comfortable, but I just don't think it was good enough... My grandfather gave me everything, and there was nothing I could give him in return...

Ps4nmuuw o......

Wobk3isb oEven after I'd given up painting and my grandfather had died, my friend still stayed right beside me. She told me, "I think your grandfather was happy just having you there with him. Seeing you grow up into the man you are today was the best gift you could have ever given him."

Ps4nmuuw oShe must have known you well. It sounds like even at that time, the two of you were very close.

Wobk3isb oThat's true... Not long after, we were married, and then we had our only child... An adorable little girl.

Ps4nmuuw oHow old is she now?

Jwhxptmr o

Uedfz3v4 o Holy shit, this guy's life...

Ps4nmuuw o......

Wobk3isb oMy wife died two years ago as well, and after the war spread to Ruan, I came here to Narvia. Even though it's an empty grave, I thought I would feel better if I had it made anyway, but...

Ps4nmuuw oBut...?

Wobk3isb oWhen I fled Ruan, I left the portrait I'd made of my wife behind. Even now, I still miss it... I thought that surely, the war would be over soon, and I could go back...

Ps4nmuuw oMr. Lazlow...

Irmrql5m o

9qk5ifz8 o Oh boy, I know where this is going...

Wobk3isb oI imagine it might be. The soldiers have been pretty decent about that sort of thing.

Ps4nmuuw o...I am the secretary to Lord Reese of Sinon, who will soon go on a mission to attack Fort Ruan. If you tell us how to find your house, it's possible one of his knights may be able to make a stop there.

Wobk3isb oWhat?!

Ps4nmuuw oI would be glad to help you see your wife's face again...

Se1fzzpa o

All right, and with that, it's time for character events!

...All right, and with that, the character events are done! Let's hire people.

Ghajsyc4 oW9eoqtro oDi8kmxvv o

You know, I'm wondering about Thaddy. Haven't been keeping count, but shouldn't he have already joined permanently by now? What gives? Did I miss an event or something?

Kxr3beon oMq7h0jag o

Next time, we go and face the Bornian army once more. Not sure what this Alvina's deal is, but I sure hope she'll be willing to listen to Vester. Camuses are no good. So yeah, see you next time, and please, do farewell until then. Bye!

Well, for a few examples, there's this about the prologue, censorship in Bernadetta's support with Byleth, this absolute garbage, various things in this thread (some of it talks about the same thing as the previous link, but the rest is new)...

Like I said, it is not the typo-ridden, mistranslated mess that was FE7. It's overall okay, but it has its issues.

Reading through this, yeah I can see it. Bernie trying to say she wanted to do it in the tower is unclean, though changing it was also poor form. (Though being an incarnation of Sothis it's technically Byleth's place and I can't stop them)

Again, localisation being quite free to change intent is something that doesn't exercise me as much, but even I have my limits and while Communist Edelgard should be praised, that's right off to be going on about class privilege there and I did find the line strange when first hearing it. I have to wonder how Treehouse handles their translation, particularly for Communist Edelgard to have happened because they do into detail that that wasn't some amateur translation of the line in the sense that it was gobbledegook.

  So, I have a 3H rant. Well, to be more precise, it's an "Ambush spawns" rant, but let me show a 3H example.

On the great bridge of myrrdin chapter, we get an ambush from Acheron when you pass a certain point. I triggered this and the reinforcement from the fort was coming, so I thought I was doomed. Turned out even IS aren't that dickish and let them wait when they show up, I clear them out and start moving west. Even with the ballista guy having showed up far away.

Only for Byleth to be pegged by an ambush spawn archer who just came out of the fort.

Fuck ambush spawns.

I'll concede this point for the simple reason that I don't feel like going on Google to compare this person's animations to the rest of the swordsmen in Arknights. Especially because you're replying to my replies from a week ago and I don't remember what we were talking about.

You won't find much on Moogle: try here instead.

I did the homework for you though, and she indeed shares the same attack animation with Hellagur (fittingly) and Yato (except noone would ever see the latter's attack animation ever)

Ons14mdv oFor this ugly matter to die out, someone has to die with it. Blood will satisfy the parties involved, and allow them to move on and forget about it. And, well... I'm afraid Gomez is far more valuable than you. That, and he actually got away. That certainly helps his case.

And we're off! Next time, we face one of this game's most infamous missions, during which I will no doubt suffer, scream, cry and sweat blood. In that order. While that happens, multiple character arcs shall reach their decisive points in this map. One of them is Esteban, but we'll actually get to see the rest, so that's cool! Our chances of getting through without casualties are low, but I've gotten through bad maps perfectly in the past, so... Meh. Let's just be cautious, and perhaps we'll all make it out unscathed. Whatever the future holds for us, the important thing is that, at the present time, we all make an effort to all farewell! So... yeah. Please do that. See ya! And... fingers crossed for me and the team.

Next episode in a nutshell three nutshells:

The biggest part? The Kree have a cure for cancer. His betraying them to protect Earth was grounds for them to mockingly with-hold it. Meanwhile, the Kree's enemies, the Skrull... awarded Mar-Vell with their highest honours in his final days as a sign of respect for a worthy adversary. In 1997, there was a short three-issue limited series called "The Untold Legend of Captain Marvel" that detailed how he became a captain in the first place, and we see that he already had the qualities of a hero, well before he'd ever journey to Earth. It's just... he had a rotten boss.

Fuck no. For starters, there are only two ways to get there: though the island with the four lancers, or through the bridge itself, guarded by four lancers. Either way, we're getting lanced four times over. The island's lancers are weaker, though (as the bridge lancers are all bosses), and we won't have to deal with the ballistae or all the additional enemies. On the flip side, we'll need to down a crossbowman with a chu-ko-nu and then send either Larentia or Axel across to lower the bridge. Lost both? Tough luck, gotta go through the bridge. Good thing they're both still alive...

Also, i didn't give it too much thought last time, but isn't Axel handling this whole affair the wrong way? Even if he had never been hired before he'd HAVE to know about the Sinon knights by this point: couldn't he have just asked for their assistance like every-f@cking-one else in that abbey and the whole town around it? He could have easily approached Ward, or asked the priestess to do so in his stead, to offer his services at discount price in exchange for Ciel's protection or something like that.

Not to mention, Ciel is basically Saphira's room-mate: assuming the bishop isn't a patented idiot, you'd think that abbey would be the most secure place in the whole Narvia (though i guess he wouldn't actually know that)

You know why that is? Because I've somehow opened this chest 3 times now, and I'm just now realizing, looking at the screenshot, that it says 10k there, not 1k. Yeah. I was convinced that this chest only gave pocket change, when it's instead worth two treasures.

This time it really is just pocket change. Still, not about to look a gift horse in the mouth.

Those are 100k and 10k respectively though...?

Well... Difficulty-wise it's worse. Every single other aspect is better, though - in my opinion at least- so there you go.

Still, it is possible to have easy maps be good, and Seth is easy to bench. I find that FE7's were easy and tedious, whereas FE8's were easy yet interesting. (Quite possibly bias speaking, though.)

Neil's music is fantastic. He has 3 albums of mashups and weird stuff like this, all of which are really good. I'd absolutely recommend you listen to them in some free time - each are about an hour long and have some genuinely incredible songs in them.

Duly noted.

He actually released a new album on Wednesday evening (or I guess Thursday morning for you) that just adds to the repertoire. 

Chill update stuff: Started playing VS2. The map quality fluctuates massively between chapters - 1 and 4 are good, 3 is alright, and 2 is Marathon Simulator: Sword-Locked Foot Unit Edition. Having a good time with the jank so far - it even has a new capture system, where if you hit specific enemies down to 10HP or less, Zade can "capture" them. It's only been used for recruitment so far, but I get the feeling it'll be more relevant later.

This has to be the fastest redemption arc in the history of videogames. Three updates ago he was still that one bad archer nobody really cared about because Sylvis existed. Now he's wiped out a map and is going to nab the next promotion of the run. What gives...?

Sherlock in a nutshell. His start seems to be total garbage, but the moment longbows show up, he's good. It's considered a "meta" tactic to just bench him for chapters 2 and 3, then give him a single kill and a Longbow in Chapter 4.

Hmph... Fair enough, I suppose.

Reading through this, yeah I can see it. Bernie trying to say she wanted to do it in the tower is unclean, though changing it was also poor form. (Though being an incarnation of Sothis it's technically Byleth's place and I can't stop them)

Again, localisation being quite free to change intent is something that doesn't exercise me as much, but even I have my limits and while Communist Edelgard should be praised, that's right off to be going on about class privilege there and I did find the line strange when first hearing it. I have to wonder how Treehouse handles their translation, particularly for Communist Edelgard to have happened because they do into detail that that wasn't some amateur translation of the line in the sense that it was gobbledegook.

Treehouse is weird, honestly. They're competent enough, but then they just up and decide to change the dialogue for no reason at all. I mean, I'm not against changing things for the sake of a better localization. Sometimes it is necessary, or better off that way. But some of these changes were completely needless!

Kinda.

I see.

If there's nothing to the east, what the hell was up with that camp?

Uhh...

I mean, what the hell was up with Hamilton? This is nothing new.

But you kinda act like you are there with Reese the whole time.

Yeah, but that's obviously just a joke. Reese is a fictional character, and I'm a real man.

Meoilxpy oWhat are you talking about, Tactician? I'm just as real as you are!

Bs8nwu8m oSILENCE, WORM! YOU ARE NO MAN! YOU ARE A WORTHLESS NOTHING! GROVEL BEFORE ME!

Uedfz3v4 o Gaaaaah...!

I also remember how NMotE ended.

Ahahah... Not gonna lie, as much of a mess as it was, I have fond memories of that one.

XBONE emulator.

Is that even a thing? And please tell me they actually call it XBONE.

Doesn't seem like there's one. Not that I'd get it even if there was one. I think emulating is fair game, as long as the game/system isn't being sold anymore.

Of course, I suppose that's rather hypocritical when I'm currently emulating Super Mario Galaxy even though 3D All Stars exists. But, frankly, I don't think Nintendo deserves my 60$ for packaging three ROMs and a couple emulators with the tiniest improvements imaginable.

You also know me, I don't have a super PC, so you'll have to excuse my unwillingness to go all in on the cutting edge.

Yeah, of course. I completely respect your perspective as well.

UK's a particular shambles.

Then what's the US? Pieces so tiny that they can't even be classified as "shambles"?

Oh boy, I had to give the ego a boost there, didn't I?

That did backfire a bit, didn't it?

If it weren't for magic, they sound like they could stop you in your tracks.

Well, not really. The only map with gigas knights that you absolutely cannot avoid is the endgame, and you have the Gotoh there to handle them. Still, it's nice to have more options.

Where's the expert scroll for Axel?

Hahahah... If only.

I just wonder what happened to the loose horse......

It achieved freedom and got to escape the fate of dying to my carelessness.

You know that he's not safe as long as the war's ongoing.

...Please don't even allude to the possibility...

I guess, I feel like I'm barely noticing these changes.

They are rather subtle. In fact, Sherlock and Enid are two of the more obvious ones, since their color palettes change entirely. In Ruby and Arthur's case, they just gained new armor that looks a little different from their previous one.

Okay, that's what you meant by about that.

Eyup.

I can see this difference.

Hahahahah... Kinda difficult to miss it, no?

Narxit happened in reverse: Everyone left it instead. Through force.

Like how the maddest Brexiteers will perceive a collapse of the UK where every other part leaves the UK.

Didn't Scotland try already? If this continues, the island is going to be known as the Great Britains.

How many soldiers are left with Berwick overall?

Not sure, but it's probably not looking great, considering Navarron is literally all that's left. Vanmilion and Vester's regiments, Volcens's army of mercenaries and cutthroats, and us. That's probably about it.

And on Ruan, I don't remember the place having a massive fort that nobody can break through. That place is pretty empty last I checked.

Perfect, Reese has gotten used to putting his army's life on the line.

He really is a Faarquad after all.

Well hey, be fair with him: he puts his own life on the line as well.

...Sometimes.

This man keeps on letting us know his life is miserable. This is definitely not the same Laslow as in Fates, that's for sure.

Seriously, he lost everything... The poor guy. Can't let him lose his painting as well.

Also, this hill has more graves.

So many hills for people to die on in Navaron.

It may be the worst country in the world in terms of healthcare, but they'll be DAMNED if one person has no place to be buried!

I blame that on a lack of ambition.

Hey, now... Don't be so cruel.

What happened when the Justice League was too small to deal with all the issues in the world? They recruited most ofthe rest of the superheroes and expanded their scale of operation. As a side effect it's some of the best DCAU material, but that's just a bonus.

The difference is that the Justice League are absurdly overpowered. And, well, so was Matthis. But Matthis could die. Death means absolutely nothing in the realm of comics... most of the time.

So Pretzels are a plague now?

Hah! A plague of a certain kind, yes.

I wonder what happened with Plot!Ruben 1?

Plot!Ruben 1 died of old age, probably. Either that or he broke his neck falling down some stairs.

I kinda feel like they were too reactive, not enough imagination to push the envelope to be able to do better.

A shame.

  So, I have a 3H rant.

YES! YES!

Well, to be more precise, it's an "Ambush spawns" rant, but let me show a 3H example.

On the great bridge of myrrdin chapter, we get an ambush from Acheron when you pass a certain point. I triggered this and the reinforcement from the fort was coming, so I thought I was doomed. Turned out even IS aren't that dickish and let them wait when they show up, I clear them out and start moving west. Even with the ballista guy having showed up far away.

Only for Byleth to be pegged by an ambush spawn archer who just came out of the fort.

Fuck ambush spawns.

Maddening: A very well designed difficulty.

At least in FE12 they had the decency to come out of forts most of the time.

Reese? Reese doesn't think. Must serve Majesty. That is all.

Meoilxpy oI despise him. I want him dead. I intend to use him to regain the power of the league, then demand my dear Sinon gets some recognition, being that recently we do all the heavy lifting.

Uedfz3v4 o Holy mierda. Reese acaba de said something in his forma psicopata con la que I agree with.

Did I suffer a stroke or what?

Meoilxpy oHanes please refrain from writing Ruben as speaking both languages at the same time, it's annoying.

Meoilxpy o.....

Hahahahaha... Good one.

My thoughts exactly..

Sometimes, that's just what you get. Backstory.

One tragedy after another.
Reminds me of how in Geography class yesterday we had a pick your own adventure game, in the first game I got the perfect ending, but on the second one I got the absolute worst one lel.

What kind of Geography class is that? I want more classes like that!

Wait Ruben? Haha.... man I really missed so much lore, there should be a compilation of this once it's done lel.

In TRS and FE6, there was a literal self-insert character. I used him to make fun of myself mercilessly.

Ooooh I like this part, that's so cool.

Thanks!

(I have an idea, he tries to join the Sinon knights to hide but Reese actually suceeds in not recruiting people)

Hah! Not bad, but it's not exactly what I had in mind.

Because she's a NPC who appears once every 10 updates or so and did absolutely nothing to be worth remebering for? (Unlike Aegina's maid, for instance)

I mean, that's fair enough - but you have to understand, from my perspective Arknights characters are even less than that. So don't act all shocked and surprised when I constantly forget people. I don't even want to remember them.

And no, she doesn't look like Jessica in the least.

...Like right here, I've already forgotten what Jessica looks like! Please don't bother showing her to me again. I really don't care.

Yes.

Well, the answer is no. I don't care about the game. Stick to the memes, please.

She gets explicitely called by name in that comic strip.

Well, yeah, I guess, but...

You won't find much on Moogle: try here instead.

Didn't you read a word I said?

I did the homework for you though, and she indeed shares the same attack animation with Hellagur (fittingly) and Yato (except noone would ever see the latter's attack animation ever)

I thought Melantha would too, but that's not actually the case.

So... you basically just proved my point for me, then. The reason they didn't give her claw animations is so they could just lazily copypaste other characters' animations and call it a day.

Thanks.

Yeah, that works. Unfortunately, I have forgotten what we were talking about. But that works.

A lesson about life and the fact sometimes your bad decisions hurt those who love you more than you? Or just me overthinking the depth of "Camus is too stubborn to have a bad ending"

You know, it's pretty ironic that you're replying to this now, because since you left we've seen a character arc that was... uh, rather similar to what you just explained. With any luck, you've already seen it by the time I post this.

The biggest part? The Kree have a cure for cancer. His betraying them to protect Earth was grounds for them to mockingly with-hold it. Meanwhile, the Kree's enemies, the Skrull... awarded Mar-Vell with their highest honours in his final days as a sign of respect for a worthy adversary. In 1997, there was a short three-issue limited series called "The Untold Legend of Captain Marvel" that detailed how he became a captain in the first place, and we see that he already had the qualities of a hero, well before he'd ever journey to Earth. It's just... he had a rotten boss.

How ironic, that his enemies would be kinder to him in the end than his own comrades. Volcens much?

Well, as you may know by now... I broke it. Somehow. Tonsilitis bout aside.

Congratulations!

I guess the stool's been pushed in.

Someone berned the stool.

I'd say that's awfully specific, but... that's the reality of war.

Bernie knew what was going to happen.

Which keeps me from making stupid jokes about the circlet's name.

...Oh-- Pffffft, I just realized! It really is named Toolsa Circlet! Kaga did the Stool jokes first! What an absolute madlad! Hahahahahah...! Ahem, sorry. Gotta be serious.

In his defense, denial is a common reaction to death. I know from experience.

That's true. With any luck, we'll get to see him cry before the end of the game. Now that'd be somethin'.

I wonder how many times he has to deal with this a month.

He really should've become a fisherman...

There's shame in that fetish though. Someone could get seriously injured and the surgery to remove a spear is a luxury we cannot afford in war time.

Pffffft! The poor guy, we're just taking the piss outta him now...

... why am I reminded of punji pits in the Vietnam war?

Wow, that's a brutal trap. Jesus... You think Merlinus watched someone fall into one of those one time, and since then he's suffered from severe PTSD? Now I'm making myself feel bad for all the hate...

You know, Virgil looks kind of like a better drawn version of the shopkeeper from Hyrule Castle Town's potion shop in Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time. Prove me wrong.

Hey, that's actually not too far off! The guy in OoT looks like Virgil wearing Jorge's clothes. Interesting...

I'm surprised the amount of time isn't going down with this guy. Soon it'll be "why weren't they ready before the battle began?"

To be fair with the man, that would've been the optimal outcome. A shame it was physically impossible.

Kaga always knows.

Kaga doesn't need time travel. He is time itself, because he did time first!

I missed this somehow. Thanks health.

Well, better late than never, as they say.

Guess he had his ticket punched. He got punted across the battlefield. Marcel sure did punish that tomfoolery.

What does that have to do with anything!?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yxb9h4TrvNo

Well, at least it's not anime...

Also, i didn't give it too much thought last time, but isn't Axel handling this whole affair the wrong way? Even if he had never been hired before he'd HAVE to know about the Sinon knights by this point: couldn't he have just asked for their assistance like every-f@cking-one else in that abbey and the whole town around it? He could have easily approached Ward, or asked the priestess to do so in his stead, to offer his services at discount price in exchange for Ciel's protection or something like that.

Consider that he's a former criminal. The whole reason he's been working as a merc is to earn money to pay for Ciel's treatment. He's probably afraid that, if he goes to the knights, he'll be imprisoned, and then Ciel will have nobody to get all that cash for her (since the priestesses are busy enough at the abbey and we're not exactly rich ourselves). Even if he didn't tell them the whole story, who's to say Gibry wouldn't spill the beans on him after he was caught? Of course, you could argue that we're the best guys in the nation and wouldn't screw him over - but he doesn't know that for sure, and he probably doesn't want to risk it.

Besides, considering what happened in the following update, I'm pretty sure he intended from the start to use this opportunity to both get rid of Gibry and ensure that Ciel would get her treatment. Maybe not the "best way" to handle the whole mess, but his actions make sense.

Not to mention, Ciel is basically Saphira's room-mate: assuming the bishop isn't a patented idiot, you'd think that abbey would be the most secure place in the whole Narvia (though i guess he wouldn't actually know that)

They probably do have someone watching Saphira (pretty sure we know who that is, too), but I doubt they go out of their way to watch every other person in the abbey as well. All it would take is for Ciel to exit the abbey for a second (as we've seen her do already - she was waiting for Axel outside when she was introduced), and Gibry could snatch her right up. Not worth the risk.

Still, it is possible to have easy maps be good, and Seth is easy to bench. I find that FE7's were easy and tedious, whereas FE8's were easy yet interesting. (Quite possibly bias speaking, though.)

Well, it is easy to grab the randomizer and raise enemy stats in FE8. That's really the only issue - the maps are otherwise well designed, it's just the pathetic enemies that drag them down. FE7's issues go deeper than that.

Yes, I found that out the hard way when he was ORKO'd by an armor knight.

Jikes...

This is canon.

I mean, all jokes aside - it is the most likely explanation for why there isn't a cringeworthy POV cutscene with Manuela, like... all of Camilla's cutscenes in Fates.

WHAT

That's his whole support with Flayn, isn't it? Just him going "oh man, the Goddess Cethleann sure must've been beautiful, I wanna capture that incredible beauty in my drawing" and Flayn was all like "Gee I'm flattered... is what I would say if I were Cethleann, which I am not; now draw me-- I mean her like one of your Adrestian girls".

No, I mean one of the minis crippled him and captured him instead of killing him.

Oh. Well, that was lucky, then.

Beetle, the...He's kinda like the Aimee of Zelda? He's mr. generic shopkeeper in most games. Never hits on Lanik, though.

Ahh, I understand.

Who?

Noone really, I just brought it up because that guy in the picture you shared kinda looked like that game's artstyle.

...Well, come to think about it, he does look a tiny wee bit like the generic mr. shopkeep guy from Lisa... Just with a mustache and balding. I wonder if there's a connection.

I'm surprised you didn't have your Ass assin handed to you.

Oh God... Dude, get some sleep!

Yeah, sure. Like untrainted Esteban would be able to use that without blowing his own head off.

Oh shoot, I didn't miss an update! It's been a bit since I apologized, so I'm sorry!

He actually released a new album on Wednesday evening (or I guess Thursday morning for you) that just adds to the repertoire. 

He sure works fast!

Chill update stuff: Started playing VS2. The map quality fluctuates massively between chapters - 1 and 4 are good, 3 is alright, and 2 is Marathon Simulator: Sword-Locked Foot Unit Edition. Having a good time with the jank so far - it even has a new capture system, where if you hit specific enemies down to 10HP or less, Zade can "capture" them. It's only been used for recruitment so far, but I get the feeling it'll be more relevant later.

That sounds interesting... But, as much as I like to parrot that I play these games for the "gameplay", in this case, I'd be more interested in getting resolution for the ten cliffhangers. I don't think I had ever shipped two characters so hard until Siegfried and Hilda. Goddamnit Sieg, why do you have to be such an idiot and why does the sequel have to be untranslated.

  Hide contents

Nice. All the more reason to keep her alive. 

Please don't jinx it. I don't need any more bad luck.

RIP Material and free Gram/Perseid repair.

Ohh, believe me, that free repair has long been gone. Since chapter 3, in fact. Garos kicked Clifford's ass, and I had to bail.

As for the material, well, it was only good for crafting the tempest knife. It's a shame, but I'm never risking combat with Thaddy ever, so... yeah. Affordable loss, all in all.

Sherlock in a nutshell. His start seems to be total garbage, but the moment longbows show up, he's good. It's considered a "meta" tactic to just bench him for chapters 2 and 3, then give him a single kill and a Longbow in Chapter 4. 

It... took me slightly longer. But we got there in the end!

And now he's broken. BIG bosskilling hours. 

I can already think of a couple of bosses I'm really going to want to use Sherlock against.

I dunno if this is a popular opinion, but this map is seriously evil. I like the first and third sections of it, but that midsection can burn. Good luck, watch out for all those chu-ko-nu jerks. 

From what I've gathered, it is a rather popular opinion.

Personally, I find 9 to be worse, but this one can go south real fast.

Out of curiosity, do you typically include unrecruited characters in the fanfic segments? 

Well, in FE6 I included a few dead characters, and used it as a plot justification to play both Sacae and Ilia (so as to show both routes off). In TRS I didn't include any unrecruiteds, I just used it for the chapter 26 split. Here? I just thought it'd be a fun way to have some filler while we get to the next big moment.

 

 

Ordinary:

Spoiler
Hoxzz3zu o

I did a bunch of preps for this map, but they're too long to put here. So here are the highlighs: I made the Gullveig, a throwing axe.

Hp8uyb1e o

Derrick can have it for the memes.

Auwjzidu oFx1cypmm o

Reese and Ward both need horses, so they take the two we have in store.

Quukwbpz o

Lastly, I use the last of my repairstone to repair the Gram to full. I had some doubts about this decision, but, well... They disappeared quite soon, let me tell you.

Lnbaaqcw o

A Paladin's music.

S0x9bcoe o

A Paladin's team. This is... look, I'm not gonna lie: this team is terrible. Derrick is the greatest man in the history of mankind, but I really should've brought Arthur or Ruby for bulk that can actually move. Or Faye, so I can get her killed for the fourth fifth sixth time.

Wxg8zbij o

A Paladin's map. Really unique objective this time: Vester and his boys will appear in the upper right corner of the map on turn 5. We must protect Vester until he makes his way into the fort and speaks to Alvina. That being said... I'd argue it's more difficult to actually make it to Vester than protecting him. The town is crawling with hidden troops of all sorts, along with two ballistae. There's even some trouble outside the walls.

Ah, but don't forget, Vester said in the last update that this fort is protected by "entirely ordinary" men. This should be easy. Right, Vester? Since everyone here is so ordinary and all?

Today's tactics points, not that they matter anymore, concern Vester's team of green units. Gotta keep them alive. I'll... I'll give it a token effort, but don't expect me to take a bullet for them. Reese is already promoted.

It's worth noting that we could theoretically let Vester and company win the map by themselves. Since I don't enforce much of a penalty on myself for resets, I could just wait until they get there on their own. But where's the fun in that? And the sidequests need doing. And I'm too impatient to just sit around.

It8jqfqd o

Allow us to commence.

Meoilxpy oThen let's go over the strategy one last time. Our mission is to provide backup and a diversion for Lord Vester and his platoon of knights. Firstly, we will send our shock troops directly into the fort to clear out as many of the enemy as we can. After Lord Vester's platoon enters the fort, we are to cover them as they advance into the castle itself.

Wds94z4f o

Meoilxpy oThe key to success will be properly coordinating ourselves to get Lord Vester into that castle.

3cxl4xfi oYes, Lord Reese!

Jdxvqop1 o

Meanwhile, on the red side, we've got... Ward!? Again!?

Sue2tzwr o

As well as...

...Pffft! Hahahahahahah...!

Perfect! There she is, ladies and gentlemen. Alvina, Paladin of Bornia. With Vester gone, effectively the leading general of the Bornian army. One of the only 24 paladins in the world. All in all, quite the celebrity.

This is the woman that, without so much as a cloak obscuring her face, snuck into Navarron unimpeded, waltzed right into Reese's office, then held a casual conversation with us and promptly left just as easily. She wasn't just some random knight. No, she was famous, to the point where Enid brought her up as an example of women becoming knights. Remember that? I sure do.

If this isn't the best example of Navarron's piss poor security, I don't know what is-- Oh, right, that one guardsman who traded our horses off to brigands in chapter 1. I almost forgot.

8fs92pmm o...I understand. Give the order for all soldiers to hold their general positions.

Uso63ymb oIncluding the ones hidden in the town's houses, milady?

8fs92pmm oYes, they should use the element of surprise to their advantage. Have them move into optimal spots for ambushing the enemy.

Lgjkwhcy o I hate you, Alvina. I hate you so much. You're the most competent leader we've faced. And I hate you for it.

Uso63ymb oYes, Dame Alvina. I shall spread the word at once.

Fmleiqov o

Well, well. Look who's also chilling here.

8fs92pmm oIt is the best I can do right now, and I will do what I can to make it work. After all, it is the will of Mother Veria that I defend this fortress.

Fnstd6ym o...Was that meant to be ironic, Dame Alvina?

Txzubig9 o Hahahahahah! Smooth, Almachus, real smooth. C'mon, man, you're not even trying... You're supposed to be a Verian priest, you dummkopf! Act the part!

8fs92pmm oNot at all, I just spoke what was in my heart. Are you uncomfortable with that?

Fnstd6ym o...It is unwise to speak in such a way when we are allied with the Raze Empire.

8fs92pmm oI am a knight of Bornia. I will fight alongside Razites, yes, but I will not abandon Mother Veria.

Fnstd6ym oBe careful, Dame Alvina. In the Empire, they would burn you at the stake for saying that.

Xmbr8fuq o

Ugg0cmtj oRuuuuuuuuuuuuuuude.

Fnstd6ym oHmm? Ah, probably just the wind...

Fnstd6ym o...As you wish. But don't think you can take back those words later...

Vsa9wszt o

Did he just threaten her? All the more reason to get Vester there safely and quickly. We can't have the Camus end up pulling an Eldigan. The archetype confusion is big enough with her as it is.

Yiikaazk o

So...

R2syf9bo oMpqgdo9i o

Entirely ordinary men, eh, Vester?

Rmaklkze oAxiip6bl o

Entirely...

Zz8vlfkh oKajcxz8k o

Ordinary.

Incidentally, that man's name is Yalong.

You: Yalong what?

Yalong dick.

There. Now that I got that out of my system, we may proceed.

...Actually, you've no reason to complain. That was a compliment! Unless you're a girl. I apologize to all the female readers. Please forgive my terminal stupidity. You know what? Males too. Please forgive my terminal stupidity. Everyone forgive my terminal stupidity.

L9lkjokl o

First order of business is to use Axel to get these assholes to waste their turns. Thankfully they move first. I am NOT approaching foes with Pulverizer without due caution.

Xt5eihrp o

Next... I use Adel to get the healer to wait. See him, up there? Imagine those behemoths with medical aid on top of their absurd kits. Sends shivers up my spine...!

Bgkjwysu o

So... Now. Sherlock, put the Raijin arrows to good use.

A7gqewlm o

All the named enemies in the map use this theme. All of them. And rightfully so, I might add.

Fpoqvq79 o

I like how his sprite is closer to his portrait now. When he was unpromoted he had this blue color scheme that had nothing to do with his portrait at all.

7qdu6oft o

Not a bad whack!

Now, I will move Ward here. He's safe from the Wonderful Three, since they've already waited.

Kusfsq7p oBctfqxme oLzyakrui oAusddnv3 o

Isunk55f oV1akiphy o

Well. I mean. She did double the damage... It is less useless than it could've been.

P6lltgfp o

I mean, I could hope for a crit, but if he doesn't get one, that's half his health gone... Nngh! Damnit...!

Nqku1iot o

And even if he succeeds, there's the lancers...! Wait, damn you! Wait! Do as your horseman friend and wait! Waiting is fun!

Jde2s5w0 o

I... I could try this, but... Then Sylvis could die...

Okay, wait. Let's waste some more moves, and...

Ffhcmxce o

Ahhh, good. They waited at last.

Urexlqi9 o

We can only afford one miss. Two, we're done for.

Knsuibx7 o

C'mon, Sylvis! Prove Sherlock don't got shit on you!

W7zlfw9w o

Guaaahhh...! That was too intense...

...Please... Berwick Saga, it's the first enemy. Have mercy.

Wtl8rtlt o

Now, quick!

2czbadpi o

Yalong for death? Then allow me to deliver you to it!

Jnb6tl5h oRvr009qj o

Any doubts I may've had about repairing the Gram with the last of my repairstone faded away at this moment. Gram Reese is just too useful.

Kkxfgiez o

This is nice too.

Yozqxd0z o

I'm not sure if Murin will move now that his group of friends is no longer a thing. My money's on "no", but I cannot be sure, and I'm not about to press my luck with Sylvis.

Iohnshh1 o

...Waaahhh! Jesus, nearly left Reese in ballista range...!

Afwg3cpt o

First of all, the lancers will come to reinforce Murin. Sylvis will stop at least one dead in his tracks.

1xcx1m1u o

Wha-- Oh, or she'll stop the horseman instead. That's good too.

Ewdnkwzm o

Lester, huh... It's unlikely that this is gonna be a good map!

Ndx6yufh o1srugjyo o

Okay, good... we're good so far...

6s0ax3ts o

We're bad so far... Oh, we're so FUCKING SCREWED--

5rpmeasf o

Nice. Thanks, Reese, for your competence.

Bmo8dkqj o

Now... It'd be a really, really good idea to kill Murin. But if you didn't notice, Murin has Vengeful. This has the potential to put me right back at the start.

...No, worse. It could break the Gram again.

W4kutys7 o

I could throw a hatchet at h--FFFFFFFFFUUUWAAAAACK NOT SO FAST

Xhjtbgnp o

I legit had my finger on the confirm key when I remembered about this. His Supporter pals may be gone, but if I do that, he'll still get a 25% chance to erase Axel. That's not happening!

Daau1nsa oGzel8cbr o

Incidentally, here's Lester. Again, an entirely ordinary man. Seriously, what's with this map and named generics that I'd like to recruit? All of these bastards are amazing!

2ds8n1l9 oLyzi9hef o

Thankfully, unlike Danfar and Murin, Lester isn't the tankiest motherforker, so we get to down him easily.

Irdeioac o

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Nxvqzq8t o

This is what I wanted to avoid with Axel! Ward!

Or2qsb4k o

P... Phew... ohh, man... It should be illegal to place enemies like this at the very beginning of a map!

Dqui6oz0 o

No time to rest, though. We must get rid of everyone else left outside the walls right this second.

Qltwklpl o2en6dwb8 oUxl0poka o

Nice! The Meen Leen Creet Macheen Reese is unstoppable as always!

Well, it's all right.

Bkhvvok2 o

Next up, Axel kills the other lancer.

Dzdzzuac oS7rodyvl o

Awesome, a crit! I like how his crit animation is more or less just a fast version of his double swing.

Ncswajsf o

That's a wrap for the guy!

Scdwm9dh o

Cool, moneys.

Xphbchor o

Oof... Better mark the ballista's range, though. Wouldn't want any unfortunate accidents to occur.

Ysronzj2 o2h6ojwtr o

And now, the time has come. Murin, you will join your friends!

M1kwuhxf oDrh6hhjs oFbfylebz o

Now that she's back to using fire, Enid no longer needs to follow Perceval's instructions.

O75rt38u oRkfs8jta o

While that happens, Ward begins to work on the gate.

Hqr6j4vj o

...You know, I'd actually love to try this, but...

Tatvoohg o

His horse will die if he misses. I'd rather preserve it, at least a little bit if at all possible.

Katd6wmz oLspnelyc oAtaq0rx4 o

So let's just chuck a verutum at him, and see what happens next turn.

Aszzihgh o

...Gaaaahh...! You have no idea how tempting this is. You know what this also is, though? A 9% chance of losing Enid. I cannot take it. As much as I'd love to...

Lqcgsekh o

I must do this instead.

O2devokj o7yeydhup o

So long, Murin! You and your friends were... Too scary. Brr...!

Nice work, Sherlock! That's what I like to see!

7387uma0 o

And now-- Nope! Nope, nope, nope! If he misses and then gets hit, the ballista will turn him into mush.

1lphlm1r o

We'll have to try something else. For now... Adel, get spear points.

Ieccs5nc o

That's... That's not what I wanted.

W58tvadu o4vhp6ul7 o

Fine, then. No chance of the ballista waiting early?

5rnc0gys o

Oh, c'mon, it waits last... dang it!

Phcrsckz oI6qu9zvx o

Ward will lead the charge.

Opmpkcvi o

Oh, c'mon... Well, it's okay. That guy was barely injured anyway, and as long as you stay put, I'm happy.

Hwvhchsq o

Vester's guys begin to work on the gate.

Wswfmlwv oPqy5wyit o

Let's do this again.

Fnplmiqv o

C'mon. Ward. I know you're old, but your equipment doesn't have to act the part too--

3cxl4xfi oOLD!?

B8zcwvud o

3cxl4xfi oI'LL SHOW YOU OLD, TACTICIAN!

P97qfiux o

...Hah! Guess that's what I get for dissing the Endgame Beard. Truly shoulda known better. Thanks, Ward! Ever the reliable one.

Jxtbmp0h o...W... What did I do, though...?

Y52odxdn o

Well, damn... that's awesome! Double capture? I can only hope so!

Mvce9j3x oPe1nncjx oDryp3dz3 o

Derrick captures the first enemy, to give us more room to maneuver.

Iq9hbjfa o

The green units deal exactly 20 damage per turn to the gate. Five turns is what it'll take them.

H3hmi8c0 oVyrqih5o o

Now... for this guy.

L0ypgcss o

Tanking him wouldn't be wise, so I believe it may be best to use Adel.

Dtxuhz9q oAi2sojro o

See, the archer might come after us, but I doubt the crossbowman will. Hidden guys with Overwatch prefer to stay put. And the two soldiers will be easily done in by Vantage. This is a good plan.

0fxlkz6y o

D'awww... No crippling yet.

Ekpoviq3 o

While we wait for the enemy to come to us, let's get rid of this bastard. Hitrate could be better, but at least this is completely safe.

Kr4vv21h oCi58ynal o

Ah! Not safe from flashbangs, though...!

Cazm6z04 o

Awesome! I am truly glad to see I can count on you as always, Syl!

1khrf5op oEpaooccn oWh7yu9je o

With this very specific set-up (shitty bow, anti-shield arrows with 1 might), Sherlock is able to leave the injured soldier at 1 HP. Let's give it a shot.

1ubc81x5 oDyrefnxo o

He looks like the "old man yells at cloud" thing!

Snlz68ur o

Only in extreme pain.

Nlzsmsfi oBfefssfy o

All right, moment of truth. Small chance that this doesn't work.

Vxi1xnsu o

Phew... Not gonna lie, I was a bit scared there.

Z3bztzsg oT1fviubk o

Good, good. Excellent. Let's celebrate with a round of healing.

Hppcmp8j o

AAAAAAAAAAAHHHH THE CROSSBOWMAN MOVED! FUCKING OVERWATCH BASTARD MOVED! NO!

Xgmut1g3 o

Oh, fuck no, then the archer will also... Oh, Adel is dead, isn't he!?

7ymvlsx4 oLfxukyqq o

Kuuuuhaahh...! Oh, he dodged one...! That's good, that's great...!

Rkx14bap o

Oh, come on... I didn't give him the Murin kill for this!?

Zeaxot8p o

This is not enough of a compensation.

Dhdupylv o

Fuck's sake... What a mess.

Wliuma6f o

And Derrick only has a near-broken shield to protect himself, too...

Lj0qutcd o

The worst part is that, though I didn't screenshot it, I checked the hidden archer's inventory. He has sleep arrows. Someone gets shot by that, they die. Nngh...

Rvlt1nzt o

......

Wait, what? He didn't move!? The asshole with Overwatch moves, but not the regular archer!? What the fuck, Berwick Saga!?

Vvmt8pw2 o

Adel has to run. He's in death range of the crossbow guy.

Rmyzzbhh o

Hmmm... Well, that's all right. He can block one of them, and then I guess he'll just take 8 damage.

Od0qozpw o

Or, he can fail and eat both shots. Thanks, Derrick.

Fif1lypd o

Dang it, the battle crier ran to heal...

...DERRICK!?

515ljcta o

NO, WHAT?! HOW COULD THIS HAPPEN!?

Christ...!

Jxtbmp0h o...Hey, fellow cripple... Regretting the life of the soldier? 'Cause I sure am, right about now...

Q1mgvbsq o . ..... ..... ... ....... ... ... ......... ..... .. .. ..... .... .. .., ... .... .......

I never asked for this... But the tactician seems to be quite fond of me, for some reason.

Jxtbmp0h oWhat'd you say? Can't understand a thing you said... Got shot in the throat or somethin'...?

Q1mgvbsq o ......

49vtsylf o

Thankfully, since Sherlock and Axel are standing in the way, there's no chance that he'll get stopped on his way out.

Tazd1yit oVjphuuxk o

Die. You have to die. It is imperative that you die. Please die.

Ndyg5joc o

Three turns for the gate to go.

Lsy7ezc4 o

We cannot afford to let that guy live. Axel, open the way through!

Xabhvwng oKo4qpbkx oSkbwbkd3 o

The smelling salts were droppable. A bad sign of things to come, no doubt, even if I do appreciate the gift.

Jgd2awjp o

Yey, experience.

Suuh4ugi o

The guy's more or less guaranteed to die now, but if Enid could not fail again, I'd much appreciate it.

2benvxfr o

Thanks!

Gkhbelkk o

Free arrows? Don't mind if I do!

7rrg5bqp oFbsxvcn6 o3kdict2h o

Up! No rest for the weary! Especially not a full chapter's worth of rest!

Ck0xbneo o

Some healing for good measure, too.

Bg0ye6iy o

Uhhh!

Z0jnnmuu o

Uh.

Hcbnucua o

Let's carefully scout ahead with Larentia. As carefully as I possibly can, anyway.

Ocinqyac o

Only the archer left, it looks like.

4bmjujh3 o

Grrr... See? There's the sleep arrows. I hate these arrows so much... But not as much as the fact that I don't have any of my own!

Yoiyirio o

Before you say it, no, capturing wouldn't net me any sleep arrows. Sleep and poison arrows turn into the worst kind of arrow when obtained, because Kaga hates the idea of letting me cheese bosses. Too much, anyway - he did let me have Triple-Shot.

Zmpyfwwc o

So let's just get rid of this fellow before he can cause any problems.

Pjz6hjes o

This looks rather safe.

Zedhlkfh o

...Oh, I cannot believe it...

Vnnpmxyt o

Well, that's not so bad--

Oajapxgl o

Cock. Cock! Blistering cocks, cockdamnit! Entirely ordinary men, Vester!

Fexqorrw oFtnbjbtg o

Revenge for the horse!

Lousqyph o

Ah!

Yzd70vc2 o

No, wait... That's actually great!

0sycnx1b oQylg9wts o

Vester can tank a bunch of bolts no problem, and he'll keep the ballistician from aiming for my guys! Perfect!

Wsi9djrb o

His fellow knights, though... Well, let's just say I'm glad the ballistician is aiming for the man himself instead of them. Or, you know... us.

Sc9dthi5 o

God knows we've enough problems as it is...

D9nppozd o

Phew...

Gi7rhwar oIeguvxhf o

Ahah! He cut him in half, damn! That was a crit, obviously.

2j2gxb5e o

There is no stopping the LMCMR.

Qcegxruh o

And now, it's time for you to finally go down. Without the Gram this time. Gotta preserve it at least a little bit.

5rsgkylp oK5kgmbld o

Well, he missed, but thankfully he was able to use Adept to salvage the situation.

Jfxqglwn o96894qsu o

No! NO! FUCK! ANOTHER ONE! ANOTHER PIECE OF SHIT HIDDEN IN A HOUSE WITH AN AXE! AND THIS ONE HAS PULVERIZE! AND I JUST HAPPENED TO STAND NEXT TO HIM WHEN HE MOVED! WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS!?

Ytmqhn3p o

KAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGGHHHH

Nzh0xkuk o

This mission, man! This isn't good for my heart, I tell you!

Fpu67yvj o

The battle crier continues to run and heal. How much medicine did he pack before leaving home? Jeez...

Piim5dxo o6eh9sexp o

Oh my God, he has Vengeful too... What is this monster!? Entirely ordinary monster!

Ml6ppvfp o

Healing.

Spzq9x36 o

Finally! I've been waiting all turn for someone to spring the trap.

Kdtgh082 oFuspzwyj o

Had to be the tiniest, most pathetic enemy around, too... Urgh.

Ipfbcdaq o

Two turns left.

Epo1k9pj o

You gotta die now.

Hiz1ihlr oEh6vt0bu o

Thanks. Have fun in hell. You piece of shit.

Poprhbnq o

I'll make good use of your gear. Maybe.

Owhm8okp o

Same as before. Advance carefully with Larentia, check what lies ahead, then pull out.

Bx7apmun o

Good...

P3zx2d1k o

...Oh, God...

Xdiwwuaf o

Oh, holy mother of God...!

X96hmfv7 o

NO! WHAT HAVE I DONE!? I'VE KILLED LARENTIA! NO! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!

5dntmvtn o

Or Reese.

Is there any chance he'll go after Reese?

Please go after Reese. I'm begging you. I'm on my knees, see? Figuratively speaking, anyway.

Uvtvekud oLqbtsy8m o

Let's, uh... Let's heal Adel.

......

93mwhumr o

I've lost the flier, haven't I.

Qk5umlps oHppssaep o

...I'll need a change of pants before I can celebrate.

Aegxpqrh oKsnic3hy oOzouvaa5 o

Oh my God that was so close. Is this going to be the whole map? Close call after close call? Please no...

4ixwrxkd o

...No! Wait! THE OTHER ONE! THE OTHER CROSSBOW GUY! LARENTIA'S STILL FUCKED!

Uadlbsqi o

......

Xs9ogfkk o

...What happened?

Ah... I'm gonna guess he couldn't reach? Wait, no, but... He... He was four hexes away, since Larentia uncovered him with Watchful (three hexes) and then could only Canto one hex away...

...Bah, who cares. Don't look a gift horse in the mouth. We're alive. That's all that matters.

Speaking of being alive. Let's prevent the crossbowman from continuing being so.

S45oxsoh oIcfpi8yr oO1wznlf5 oSrrqjteq o

D-D-D-D-D-D-D-DOUBLE CRIT! HELL YEAH!

0icml4km o

Ey, another level.

Nv3urltx o

Kinda sucks, but it's M Shield skill. Not bad, could be speed.

Ltyzmusc o

Vester dodges another bolt.

L3yynn4v o

Now, Larentia retreats within Owen's reach.

Ngzbnvnv o

Now you move? I really don't understand the AI on these guys... It's like, every time they have the chance to kill one of my units, they just don't feel like it.

Rxjpkz4u oC04k603h o

One dodge is good.

4oxwjnwo o4chfjod4 o

Oh, please... Axel! Can enemies stop popping out of the woodwork already!? Even though I think this one was... already present from the beginning...

Ja8qynhn oM6ikixoo o

Patchin' up!

Wybgja2j o

One more!

4kbmeh9d oBafzdpa4 o

Let's get rid of this pile of shit before he gives us hell.

Lcnefnka o2ahva5ku o

Nice, I'm glad we're putting that 10% missing rate to good use. Make Perceval proud to be a part of our army occasionally.

Hgc5nizw o

Oh, please... Ishmat!?

6sbkcywu o52phedlz o

Round two will come soon enough. First, Adel hits a guy's shield so hard, it shatters.

Bk0ba0xr oWvmf3oif o

Larentia is rewarded for not dying by getting healed.

F9yaozal o

Here's an idea. First, place Sherlock right here.

5lum31pb oL5wsksyi o

Next, down the soldier.

H2gqneta o5awsdvls o

And now we can soften up the crossbowman! I mean, it wouldn't be needed if Ward had just landed both 90%s, but what can you do.

Jvix1ycq o

As with Murin, this is really tempting, but he misses and we're completely fucked. I cannot afford the risk.

Asrgocd7 o3kcziqub o0nbxngru o

You're up as always, Sylvis.

Zm1exnye o

Friendly reminder that Sherlock is catching up to you in stats.

Dohi2gji o

Good! Glad we understand each other.

8a5dh1p3 o

Hah! Vester can tank you all day long. You picked the wrong target, pal! And you shall pay for it.

Ymch3k13 o

Just as soon as we're rid of your garbage pal.

Vjawercm oTvyz3opk o

Ishmat is your average garbage bag miniboss. Just enough defenses that you can't one-shot him easily, a healing orb and a couple of offensive ones. He should go down with ease.

Igwn4raq o

Why did I-- WHY THE HELL DID I JUST CHARGE IN WITH WARD. AM I FUCKING BRAINDEAD OR JUST DUMB AS FUCK.

Ljxuxr4u o

NO! AN ENTIRELY ORDINARY CROSSBOWMAN WITH A CHU-KO-NU AND RAIJIN ARROWS! AAAAAAAAAAAA--

Iy8ax23c o

...Wait, why does Ward have 3 magic? I'm just now noticing that. He just randomly has 3 magic, for no reason whatsover. Huh. Well, fine by me, it means he didn't get absolutely wrecked by that.

Oh, by the way, I was in too much of a fright to screenshot or even make an edit of it, but Ward got a shield skill point from this. No idea how much he has now. You'll have to hazard a guess.

Btwcqkhc o

He is in range of both Ishmat and the crossbowman (who hasn't yet moved this turn), so... Maybe we oughta do something. Since, you know, charging in recklessly did not quite work out...

D6l14or3 o

Imagine if I hadn't repaired the Gram. I think this would've been the first mission to have multiple casualties.

Eyf0sqob oTrsw7dae oQwylkmoi o

Ward's safe, and we get pocket change. How nice.

Acz1dxem o

Ah! The gate is down!

Xek5pfdf o

No, wait! Vester, hold up! We're not ready yet! We haven't yet killed all the entirely ordinary men that are defending this entirely ordinary fort of yours!

8avaxokx oExcellent! Then let's proceed to the castle with all haste!

Kw7uujxq oBut milord, we would be vulnerable to being flanked by the enemy.

8avaxokx oYou needn't worry about that. That's what our allies are for. Leave the castle guards to Lord Reese and his knights.

Lgjkwhcy o You didn't tell the plan to your soldiers until now? What the hell is wrong with you, Vester!? Oh, wait, that's right-- Why would you need to bother? It's only entirely ordinary men defending the fort. Nothing to worry about.

Kw7uujxq oCan we count on him, milord?

8avaxokx oHmph, don't ask such ridiculous questions, soldier. If it weren't for him, you and I would still be rotting away in a cell in Turon awaiting our execution date.

Kw7uujxq oRight you are, milord. Forgive my impudence.

9jawp3je o

Your days are numbered, Ishmat. You have exactly zero days left.

Esqexmtt o

Yet another miniboss without combat dialogue. What a funny chapter this is.

Mtyetlyl oOviwmvi3 o

Boom shakalaka! We've stomped this guy like he ish a mat!

Igaq2eae o

Yey, 1000 D. D.

4v5drzl1 o

Okay, and it's turn ten. So...

6pp7fant o

It is at this point that I decided to try and use this save point to rig a spear point for Adel.

Unfortunately... I tried for a good 10 minutes, and my efforts yielded no results. Sadly, I believe I am starting to understand that combat skill points aren't quite entirely random. We need a real level to rig. Which... I'll admit, does not bode well for Adel's future-- but I still have hope!

6ibhsf27 o

As a sort of consolation prize, I decided to stop trying when Adel injured the ballistician. I'm sure you'll forgive me this teeny tiny itty bitty weenie little bit of rule breaking, right? Of course you will. I'll kill you if you don't!

3lopz5k4 o

...In all seriousness, if you think an extra ballista and set of bolts is too much cheating, voice your discontent and I shall get rid of all the gear post-haste.

7mnybxbt o

I mean, I have to admit, it is an iron ballista, it's better than the ones-- WHOA, WHOA, WHAT!?

M8ylahx1 o

HOW MANY MORE HIDDEN PIECES OF SHIT WITH OVERWATCH DID ALVINA DEPLOY!?

Wgapefmw oSeg0agxa o

Fuck off! Fuck off! Alvina! ALVINAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!

Lyvazhih o

Good Lord... There was ANOTHER one, too!

Anoy1yol o

To hell with y'all! Die!

Zcgzkwpc oAabcj9en o

Wha-- Yet another injury? This is, like, the sequel to chapter 5! Except with a lot more close calls. Goodness, has this map been absolutely unpleasant so far...

Fh1a6dfs o

That's quite nice too. Thank you, Syl.

Fktoevnu o

Why's his might so low all of a sudden?

Wsucpaxd o

...Sleep arrows, right? Well, no matter. Derrick should be able to shield himself from them. Since he'll take no damage, he won't be--

Xnwul1pv oVm0yzuzq o

......

Why do I even bother pretending? I mean, everyone knew what was going to happen. Sigh...

Exv13esx o

Well, that was bullshit. Now we need to kill literally everyone or else Derrick dies. And we can't even see "literally everyone". For all I know, some other asshole with a chu-ko-nu's going to jump out from under a vase to shoot Derrick in the gonads.

J4mye8by oIukg0nic oXeob9wvt o7aejinx5 o

Thank you for succeeding, Endgame Beard.

Asp1djyd oTj70zhiq o

I'd love a crippling, but if you can't manage, I won't be able to complain.

D0tytdp3 o

Eyy, thanks so much. I do feel a little bad, but... Meh. I don't think the regret's going to follow me to my grave, to be honest.

...Wait... Is that...?

Midwuwpb o

...D'oh, even the shortbow + bodkin combo is too much here...

......

Another one. There's another one hiding right over there.

Alvina is a tactical genius and I hate it. Blistering barnacles...

L7cqf4hj oLfvlokru o

Well, I certainly cannot afford to let this menace have a shot at Derrick!

72l9oqkt oKbznaodg o

...Very well...

2hhofvsh oKbt4oqx9 o

You do the foul deed, Sherlock.

Cpzxp2of o

Let it be a good one, at least? Please?

3izfacj4 o

Feh... Back to old habits, are we, Sherlock?

Mucmgwhv o

This is neat. I'm glad we got something out of all these heart attacks.

Zxvyu2ob o

Fucking hell, seriously? I'm not that worried about Vester, he's amazing, but his men...

Lyg65wjt o

As much as I'd like to try capturing this guy too, if he isn't crippled (which has happened many times before, as you know), Derrick is fucked. Can't afford it.

Ebppwxqm o

...You've got to be...

Ygcsvuut o

WHAT!? Two hits, Axel! Two opportunities to land a 76 and you failed! Why do you have to prove Brightbow right?! Your hitrate wasn't even bad!

L37yaryq o

...Oh. Instead of shooting anyone, he just... set up an Overwatch.

Well. You had one chance, crossbowman, and you blew it. Still... As thanks for your mercy, I shall attempt a capture.

Gsslsdu5 oLxqnsts2 o

First, spring the trap.

Wveyd0o6 o

There we go.

4ug6tchb o

Oh, God, the friendlies are under attack...

Jy3pck0t o

Very good. With moves like that, you might actually survive this.

Lnblmvg6 oHpr2pxjt o

Okay, my friend. Let's see if you're as cooperative now as you were before.

Zip6dabm o

Well, shit! This has to be the smartest enemy we've ever faced. He knew my wrath would fall upon him like the hammer of the gods if he dared to lay a finger on Derrick, so instead, he decided to live.

And, you know what? Axel knew this. That's why he missed twice. Thanks to his restraint, we've got another capture. Thanks, Axel!

Rmhfvv22 o

By the way, you may've noticed in the last image that we've got. Yet. Another. Bastard. With. Overwatch. And. Hide.

Another one.

I've lost count at this point. Thanks, Alvina. Thanks, Kaga. Thanks, God. Wait, I just said the same name twice, didn't I?

5rnoafix o

Well, I'm not even gonna bother with you. You drop the good crossbow, and the arrows aren't important.

Koo1qc7m oDy1illzu o

You can fuck right off.

Tjjsqzkm o

Uh-oh!

9uzjd8g8 oOne5ni0s o

Jikes...!

Zpxmcs2a o

Since we've got a bit of free time, let's check out the shops. One of them sell magic orbs. You can never have too many physic orbs.

Odubcuqd o

The other one holds a bag and two materials. I want 'em.

Zsa4ow4k oZfw9ywwi o

We'll handle it later. For now, some healing for the Vantageman.

Bhkc53ca o

You know what's hilarious? With the ballista standing on the way, I cannot get through. And I'm sure as heck not going to capture with Ward or Sherlock. They don't need it.

11nhakim o

Oh, man... The first of the green units has fallen...

Lhtdwbj6 o

Yet another tempting move. But... no.

Ymyknjoc oMv5tuuc2 o

Adel can have the ballista.

Xx1kyccd o

Yoohoo.

F4hytaia o

Is this one going to fall next?

Z8naehsl o

Holy shit, Almachus! Calm down!

B4y0l1qx o

At least they're working on the gate... An event will happen when either of the entrances is opened.

Styyatfg o

Oki-dokie. Capture number 1.

Eq7x1eon oBgwztjnu o

A ballista and some bolts. With this and the ones in the shop, I should have enough for the rest of the game, if I manage things right.

Ymzvtbw5 o

...Oh, right. Can't put a ballista in a bag. That'd be silly, unlike putting 6 broadswords and two shields as big as you in a bag.

Usze4f8t o

Not bad. I won't be able to get him a level today, most likely, but I can leave him ready for next map. There's still a chance. I still believe in Adel.

3mjawmg5 o

Man, my tactics rank is going to look terrible.

Smgdlfvm o

With the ballista out of the way, Ward is going to race to Vester's men's aid. But first, some healing.

Z2gljsre oFvhvfhea o

Oh, God... Quick!

Kahqg9ve o4kxugz7d o3dc1k1xd o

Everyone move forward!

Hazd70xr o

Where do you think you're going? Trying to escape? Nah, man... I congratulate you for your intelligence, but I'm afraid I want those moneys. You can go home afterwards.

Be1cbwpn o

Almost down. We can probably finish the job ourselves.

Edh14lcy o

Although, if Vester jumps in and blocks the gate, he might get Almachus'd...

Brc9e0d2 o

Well, while all that excitement happens, let's--

No! No, no, wait! Not Enid.

Raira0do o

You do it, Axel.

0dk5gqlp o

Ahah! I knew it!

Jmnsoz0m oJxn1mqfg o

Buh-bye!

Cn9l0usw o

Hah! He robbed the guy's sword. It's bad, but hey. Free money.

Jhulwkdh o
 
Rvjjv7fw oHthhdp0i o

I'm glad we could at least save this tiny part of that man's heartbreaking past.

Tpxbeuax oOnajihr5 o

HP? Well... Sure.

Hii0bawm o

Well, look who's up. Derrick has done absolutely nothing today. He captured one guy, then proceeded to get crippled and then slept.

I am glad we have this absolute monster with us. I should bring him along more often!

Q1mgvbsq o...Sigh...

Gvxqdi5m o

Adel, take care of capture number 2!

Agslkcer oKheaxpro o

The crossbow isn't the best, but those are some nice arrows.

Mbxefckz o

Good. Unfortunately, without a horse, he'll never make it to the fort before Vester reaches Alvina.

Bbuhoowb o

Jesus...!

Bntnibpg o

C'mon, boys, hang in there! You've almost done it!

Zzgcfolh o

Let's have some text.

Jdqtyvbh o

8avaxokx oJust a little further, and I should be able to reach Alvina. Please continue supporting us until I can.

Meoilxpy oLeave it to us. We will hold off the enemy.

8avaxokx oThank you. I pray we will succeed.

Meoilxpy oAs do I. Take care, Lord Vester.

Gklgluqk o

Pffft! Perfect timing, I must say.

Ii6zcxuf o

It's about time we ended this charade, though. Get ready to bleed, Almachus!

Mqdgsezj o

Uso63ymb oWhat will you do, Dame Alvina?

8fs92pmm oI shall stay behind and buy time to cover the retreat.

Uso63ymb o...I understand. I will give the soldiers your command. However...

Yj5kjdix o

...Did he just... Did he just use Guard on Alvina?

Wow. That's absolutely amazing. Gameplay-story integration!

8fs92pmm oSir Barnhardt?!

Uso63ymb oThis old man will stand by your side until the very end, Dame Alvina.

Next6tu0 o

Pfffffhwahahahahahahahahah... Ahahahahah! I love this line. It kills me every time. Friggin' Almachus, man... What a savage.

Gyozxylb o

Aaaaand he's gone. What, did you truly think we'd get to kill him already? Please. He's one of, like, three important Razites we've seen so far. The game cannot afford to lose him yet. Given that he has a miracle charm, I imagine he's like Dagon in TearRing Saga: even if you manage to kill him, he'll just leave after he loses his immortality. I'll check, and if there's anything worth showing, I'll do so at the end of the update.

Laksvtbk oPs0cd1i9 o

Oh, for fuck's sake... C'mon, Almachus is gone! I have to at least save this one guy!

S7yilkdj oKyinviz8 o

Die, you bastard!

Nycsnxv3 o

Anyway, the fort guard.

Wcxcuibx oYoifsgvv o

Pratton is interesting, because he has Mercy and will always use it, rendering Pulverize virtually useless. He also has 29 defense. We really don't want this guy to block the entrance.

Gjde3u7j o

This guy is covering Alvina and Barnhardt. We... don't want him to live long.

M7xncgag oWjwq6l3m o

Barnhardt might be worth trying to capture, or even just kill for the experience, but... Honestly, after the Guard stunt, I respect him too much to do so. I've never laid a finger on him in my past runs. I don't intend to do it now. There's been enough bloodshed as it is.

Cfy4ecfh oOfbjfdsr o

And here's the woman of the hour! Alvina'd be a pretty decently tough opponent, if she were allowed to fight. Of course, that is not the case. Vester just has to get to her, and the map is over.

X2thqbaa oVyfmgb2m o

Oh, and here's Almachus, for curiosity's sake.

Ad1qn1ym o

Now that we've gone over the enemies at hand... Let's search.

3gvv1ypp o

Hah! Good joke.

Gjw2u7nd oHcfke7bk o

A treasure!? Awesome! Quick, get that to the stores!

Nl3jyogx o

See, this is a bit of a problem. We stand a decent chance that Vester will end the map before we can do some shopping. That's... That's not good, all right. For once, I have to hope for the Overwatcher to be a bitch and stop him.

5udtzwgu o

Larentia will wait here so that Pratton doesn't step forward.

Zkbf4gwx oWjionn9q o

She'll kill the sleep asshole while she's at it.

Lywew7xo oGhtcxe9o o

Ayyyyy strength!

7lv4jil5 o

All right... Quickly now!

Nuedv4d7 o

Give Owen the treasure!

1mqpvjly o

Oh-- Holy shit!

Njm3mbga oKa3mpqkg o

Sell!

74tw2vil o

I'll get both those th--

FUCK MY LIFE Owen's inventory is full. I didn't realize that... Gaaaah, why am I so dumb!?

9fdzmoqp o

Well.

Bniprpnj oRra7skt5 o

At least we can do some orb shopping.

4slgyrla o

I bought a physic and an awaken orb. We don't have one of the latter, and we can't ever have too many of the former.

I346v0ym o

Sell the verian crossbow, so we have enough cash to purchase the second material next turn.

0kjvzjmn o

And now... Well, I can only hope he gets hit.

Dctdvh1c o

Phew... Nice.

Ydjopser o

Not only was that important so we could buy the second material at the shop, but this ballistician is carrying a material too. That's two materials we would've lost if that archer hadn't aimed well.

Gxypfhf6 o

Triple-Shot time. Are you guys ready?

Vgewpyrs oPkvtjafq oJbu3nvfm o

Heheh... I sure am.

Itzxu9pp o

That's fine, the thing sucked anyway.

Vn9lpdao o

Very good.

Pf5cbokj o

I could shoot at the archer, but I'd rather not risk Sherlock's life.

5jxmysuz o

I could also attack Pratton with the Euthyphro, but I mean, why. With Vester positioned as he is, there's really no point in killing anyone else.

Po0vtyse o

...Which is why I still did it. Why? I have no idea. Guess I just love the idea of watching that great spear break at long last.

Yqvanfvp oGo17ajwt oMahbpbtb oEipndfu8 o

Vester and Pratton trade blows, to little effect.

Cxsqmpzj o

Okay, and it's turn 15!

Fefu9tx8 o

First order of business, buy the material-- Oh, are you fucking serious!?

Iptwvfwi oV8dre5n1 o

Sell one of the bucklers, fuck it.

Iprprovj oOm24saef o

You know, if the archer had shot Sherlock it could've been a disaster. In case you didn't notice, he had broadhead arrows. Yeah. That poor Ishs Courser. Thankfully, Pratton decided to save us from such a terrible fate.

Vgki5ozr o

Hah! The sleeping knight wasted Vester's turn! That's absolutely great.

Bcrstm9y o

Run, my friend! Run! You've done enough for today!

Pfiqg6ru o

No, seriously, why? What was I thinking? Why would I do these things!? There's no point in killing anyone!

Bbe7sqbm o3xnt8k5k o

Good. You know what? Good. I'm glad this happened. Fucking pointless fighting. Let's see if that teaches you, stupid Ruben from the past.

Ivdgktn8 o

Out, out!

Uuwofqae o2ej2j5yw o

Gee, sure would've been nice to prevent this.

Ecp1ppfq o

Pffft!

Ej9nlwot o

Well... That's it, really. The map is over. We could block the hex next to Alvina so Vester can't speak to her, but I mean, why?

Tyub26e4 o

There we go. I'll do the scene right now. It'd feel kinda awkward to end things right here.

Puxtvcjr o

Ah, it's this one! I love this one.

Nxge16hd o

8avaxokx oYou've already gone far beyond what your loyalty to Father requires!

8fs92pmm oLord Vester... I've killed many of your soldiers, and you, many of mine.

9qk5ifz8 o Actually... Well, I cannot believe it myself, but you've killed none of MY soldiers! You were close, though. Boy, were you ever close...

8fs92pmm oThere is no other path. I will do as a knight's honor requires until the very end.

8avaxokx oAlways so stubborn... Stop arguing and put down your sword, Alvina! If you die here, you'll be playing right into Almachus's hands!

8fs92pmm oWhat...?

Tgiiktrk o

8avaxokx oThat man is no Verian priest. He just used that as a disguise to get close to my father. And over the last year, he's slowly eaten away at his mind with magic.

8fs92pmm o...Then, His Grace has been corrupted...?

8avaxokx oYes... By the time I realized it, it was already too late. Father's mind is completely gone. He's Almachus's puppet now.

Lgjkwhcy o Well, that explains an awful lot... You think we should check Volcens's scalp for any signs of lobotomy?

8avaxokx oI tried to lead a rebellion against Almachus, but I failed, and I was captured in Turon.

8fs92pmm oThat can't be... Then that's why His Grace...

8avaxokx oFather would never betray the royal family of his own volition. He's not that kind of man. It's all that dastard's fault... That Razite snake, Almachus!

Lgjkwhcy oC'mon, Alvina. It makes sense, and you know it.

Msrilbiz o

Txzubig9 o Yes! She's not a full-on Camus! She sees reason!

8avaxokx oIf you are truly sorry, then lend me your strength, Alvina. I'm going to defeat Almachus and save my father. Alvina, please... Help me do this!

8fs92pmm oI should like nothing better than to fight the Empire with you, but...

8avaxokx o"But"? What is it, Alvina?

8fs92pmm oIf I fought alongside you, Lord Vester, then Bornia would become my enemy.

8avaxokx oIndeed. In order to reclaim our homeland, we have to fight aganist it.

8fs92pmm o...Don't you feel anything about doing so, Lord Vester?

Lgjkwhcy o Oh, c'mon...

8avaxokx o"Feel anything"? Feel what? If you have something to say, then say it clearly, Alvina!

4tmrmd2e o

8fs92pmm o...I don't know if I could bring myself to fight them.

Lgjkwhcy oIn all seriousness, that's a valid concern. She's not hesitating because "muh loyalty", she's hesitating because she doesn't want to slaughter more people like her. I can respect that. I wonder how they'll handle this issue...

8avaxokx oAlvina... Don't be obtuse. Are you not a soldier? This is what war is like.

Lgjkwhcy oVery well, I see...

8fs92pmm oYes, I understand that, but...

8avaxokx o...All right, then let's do this: Why don't you join Lord Reese?

Txzubig9 oYES! YES! YES! VESTER YOU'RE THE VEST - I MEAN THE BEST! EVEN IF YOU DID SAY THAT THE FORT WAS ONLY DEFENDED BY ENTIRELY ORDINARY MEN! YOU'RE THE BEST! YES--

Bs8nwu8m oCAN'T LET YOU DO THAT, VESTER!

8avaxokx o......

8fs92pmm o......

Uedfz3v4 o...! Reese, get the fuck outta here! We're taking her along, and that's final!

Meoilxpy oSorry...

 

8avaxokx oWith him, you'll be fighting against the Empire, not against Bornia. What do you think of that?

Qkrooleu o

Ahahah... And there we have it. Vester has recruited Alvina for us. Now that is what I call awesome.

...Hoo, boy... I must've had like eight heart attacks, but we made it. Without casualties, somehow. Half the team was useless, we've lost two horses, and Adel didn't get any spear points; but we've gotten away with our lives, and even some hostages to send back to Bornia! Not bad. Can't call it my worst performance yet.

Next time, Alvina joins the gang, and we undertake a sidequest. Maybe we'll even get some character events, too. Who knows what the future will hold! We shall find out, if we just fare well. So farewell!

 

Death count: Christine
                        Esteban
                        Czene
                        Clifford
                        Elbert
                        Leon


                        Faye x 3

Capture count: 2 (Daoud, Elbert)

Cripple count: 1 (Perceval)

Reset count: 6 (Reese: 1, Ward: 3, Abus: 2)

 

Current perfect streak: -216 maps

Best perfect streak: 6 maps

 

BONUS: The things we missed.

W1evq60i o

First, Vester's death quote. Wasn't expecting to get this one, but then Pratton randomly decided to use Pulverize instead of Mercy. No idea how it happened, usually he doesn't do this.

D4qqyicz o

The one knight who survived's death quote.

6pi0vwkw oQgkbjvsm o

Barnhardt's battle and death convos. I managed to capture him, too, but he has no capture quote.

Emhn53hb o

As I predicted, Almachus flees when his miracle charm breaks. He says this rather cryptic line before he goes. Frankly, I think I prefer the other one.

11kt39te o

As for Alvina... It's actually impossible to kill her. The attack command doesn't appear. Even if she starts the fight, the units won't counterattack. She has no combat dialogue.

What kind of Geography class is that? I want more classes like that!

Well the story was about graduating and moving to places for work and studying after high school and stuff, it tied in with several types of migration.

The next one we had was much more intense, were we were a Jew during WW2. The professor said "Some of you will die today" but really no scenario lead to living. You die in all of them which aside from the migration points we saw in the stories, he wanted us to understand that yes there were survivors but that was being lucky as fuck ten million times.

Also one day he put tape on the floor in the shape of a person and we had to investigate a murder that happened through the US-Mexico border, that was used for explaining about the migration that happens between these two, he's honestly just a good professor. We made a puzzle once on several historical-migration events too. It was really cool.

But you know what? I can't fucking wait for him to get to languages... I read a geography book in the shelf in his classroom and seeing that languages would be a topic. I am excited, let's see what he makes us do now! Of course this has its drawbacks for the actual work quota, which he makes into online homework but it's usually not much.

Perfect! There she is, ladies and gentlemen. Alvina, Paladin of Bornia. With Vester gone, effectively the leading general of the Bornian army. One of the only 24 paladins in the world. All in all, quite the celebrity.

This is the woman that, without so much as a cloak obscuring her face, snuck into Navarron unimpeded, waltzed right into Reese's office, then held a casual conversation with us and promptly left just as easily. She wasn't just some random knight. No, she was famous, to the point where Enid brought her up as an example of women becoming knights. Remember that? I sure do.

If this isn't the best example of Navarron's piss poor security, I don't know what is-- Oh, right, that one guardsman who traded our horses off to brigands in chapter 1. I almost forgot.

Hot damn... lmao, I think I remeber this vaguely? Idk.

More importantly, she's hot female Adel... ah well that's good. Btw I got bored of the map music, play this instead: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=85uxzknb4Ww&list=PLO0bZujNV4FbSbfIzKeaBQIEWGLnwlW9_&index=18

Practically all enemies on this map have at least one weapon stat capped or nearly capped. Meanwhile Vester's forces come in with their 15-18 weapon ranks.

The green units deal exactly 20 damage per turn to the gate. Five turns is what it'll take them.

Meanwhile Vester himself could deal 46 damage per turn against this gate using his Knight Sword and massive 15 strength instead of hanging out in ballista range for 3 more turns.

Speaking of the Knight Sword, guy's spear rank is through the roof and twice as high as his sword rank, yet he still only brings an inaccurate sword into battle.

I'm starting to think Vester may not be as competent as everyone makes him out to be.

Oh wow. You gotta take at least half of your remaining HP as damage to even have a chance for a cripple. I guess this is where all the bad luck went that you were spared from for the rest of the map.

...What happened?

Ah... I'm gonna guess he couldn't reach? Wait, no, but... He... He was four hexes away, since Larentia uncovered him with Watchful (three hexes) and then could only Canto one hex away...

Most enemies in this town got an AI where they will only move between houses. Since there is already a guy on the only house adjacent to Larentia, the other guy can't reach her for now.

Ngzbnvnv o

Now you move? I really don't understand the AI on these guys... It's like, every time they have the chance to kill one of my units, they just don't feel like it.

As you can see, he moved because there was a free house next to Reese. Good thing the AI moved the ballista first, or that could have been it for Larentia.

Kw7uujxq oBut milord, we would be vulnerable to being flanked by the enemy.

Don't worry, buddy. The guys in the south won't do anything to you.

Which also means that fighting in the town doesn't actually help with the main mission at all unless you actually reach the ballista before the Vesters break the gate.
 

4 hours ago, Saint Rubenio said:

Kw7uujxq oCan we count on him, milord?

Well, so far he has neither removed the ballista near Alvina, killed the sleep bow guy or chased away Almachus. So I'd say you're screwed.

Another one. There's another one hiding right over there.

Alvina is a tactical genius and I hate it. Blistering barnacles...

Really wish they went with a different justification for why she hangs out with the Sinon knights. Like for example, you could say Vester wants someone he trusts with his allies.

Doesn't seem like there's one. Not that I'd get it even if there was one. I think emulating is fair game, as long as the game/system isn't being sold anymore.

Of course, I suppose that's rather hypocritical when I'm currently emulating Super Mario Galaxy even though 3D All Stars exists. But, frankly, I don't think Nintendo deserves my 60$ for packaging three ROMs and a couple emulators with the tiniest improvements imaginable.

I mean, hardware wise there isn't as much going on with emulation for stuff from the last decade due to sheer power required, though I suspect that's with me out of the loop, I know Citra exists after all.

The price is some thing, but the handling of it is another. Course, I'm not buying it either, but I'm no Mario fan to begin with.

Didn't Scotland try already? If this continues, the island is going to be known as the Great Britains.

There was a referendum 6 years ago. Polling has flipped the other way around in the last 6 years, the situation's that messy now.

And then there's the North (Northern Ireland to be precise), where the political situation with a hard border's going to be such a strain that there's a real chance of the Troubles happening again, nobody wants that. Hell, the fact that Welsh independence is being discussed halfway seriously and Cornish independence is being mentioned at all should underline where we're at before the UK's out in the cold. Which is a real possibility as it stands with no deal.

The Great part will not survive a UK schism.

The difference is that the Justice League are absurdly overpowered. And, well, so was Matthis. But Matthis could die. Death means absolutely nothing in the realm of comics... most of the time.

Maddening: A very well designed difficulty.

At least in FE12 they had the decency to come out of forts most of the time.

Of course, this one also came out of a fort, kinda denting the argument.

I'm trying to think of examples where they're not edge cases (i.e. at the edge of the map) and I'm not thinking of examples so far, mainly because edge of the map can usually be fine enough (usually). For one edge case pissing me off, Gronder has one and it annoys me that they counted reaching the centre hill as a trigger for them because I cannot see how that should count as fair whilst you're possibly still in the northern part of the map; it mainly annoyed me because of Sylvain's replacement clocking my Lorenz when he held fine against a generic. Caspar with Lancereaver will likely do better, shame he doesn't have QR yet.

Ah, yeah, I saw it. The Thracia list is downright disgraceful. Also, apparently the Cipher artists despise mustaches with a passion.

But... Well, what can I say. It may not be perfect, but it's so much better than Heroes, it's not even funny. In Heroes's case, every game older than Awakening looks like Thracia in Cipher. Thracia is just the whole cast, full stop.

Thracia not getting enough respect is really unsurprising considering when it released and how it did. Ultimately, while disappointing I don't expect it to gain much respect in the wider community.

As well as...

...Pffft! Hahahahahahah...!

Perfect! There she is, ladies and gentlemen. Alvina, Paladin of Bornia. With Vester gone, effectively the leading general of the Bornian army. One of the only 24 paladins in the world. All in all, quite the celebrity.

This is the woman that, without so much as a cloak obscuring her face, snuck into Navarron unimpeded, waltzed right into Reese's office, then held a casual conversation with us and promptly left just as easily. She wasn't just some random knight. No, she was famous, to the point where Enid brought her up as an example of women becoming knights. Remember that? I sure do.

If this isn't the best example of Navarron's piss poor security, I don't know what is-- Oh, right, that one guardsman who traded our horses off to brigands in chapter 1. I almost forgot.

Navaron's security is a joke if one of the Paladins was able to waltz in during the conflict with Bornia.

THAT'S WORSE THAN THAT BAGMAN.

And on the design, I guess Kaga didn't define her design in the document. They don't look all that similar, shame.

...Hoo, boy... I must've had like eight heart attacks, but we made it. Without casualties, somehow. Half the team was useless, we've lost two horses, and Adel didn't get any spear points; but we've gotten away with our lives, and even some hostages to send back to Bornia! Not bad. Can't call it my worst performance yet.

Next time, Alvina joins the gang, and we undertake a sidequest. Maybe we'll even get some character events, too. Who knows what the future will hold! We shall find out, if we just fare well. So farewell!

I'm sorry, WHAT.

So we straight up got her because Vester manoeuvred her to not fight against her king.

So she's more like Zeke.

As for Alvina... It's actually impossible to kill her. The attack command doesn't appear. Even if she starts the fight, the units won't counterattack. She has no combat dialogue.

How very not Camus of her.

Covid numbers are shooting up, the government doesn't want to shout lockdown, I am shaking my head at that self limiting approach.

2020 is looking to be a wild final quarter based on the first four days. The actual outcome's anyone's guess, but that's part of the appeal for the gamblin' man. Me, I'll pass.

Is Spain in a particularly bad shape with covid and is anything else tripping over everyone? Wondering because that news doesn't filter so easliy.
