Pierre Hoquet Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 Good afternoon, everyone. Honestly, I am very nervous about writing anything here. I mostly observe and silently enjoy the content here. The drafts and challenge runs ended up getting me to join. I was introduced to Fire Emblem around 11 or 12 years ago when I first played Brawl. I tried Radiant Dawn and Shadow Dragon both after that, but never ended up finishing Radiant Dawn. I borrowed my sister's copy of Awakening years later and beat it. After that, I got Fates and beat Conquest while never really touching the other modes too much. I really enjoyed using generics and suprising my friend with them in multiplayer battles. I got back into Shadow Dragon after Fates, beating it on Hard with a ridiculously defense blessed Gordin. Then, I tried Iron Man playthroughs of Hard 5, they were always thrilling even if my lack of strategy was obvious since about 75% or more of my characters generally didn't make it. I also completed Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE around that time. My interest grew, which led to me importing FE12 and a Japanese 3DS for Fire Emblem 1 to 5. The only games I currently can't play is FE6 and maybe the Sattelaview one. This became a rather big wall of text, didn't it? My apologies for the formatting, it always feels like I'm doing something wrong while writing. Did I start too many sentences with "I"? My Fire Emblem journey aside, I am a retro collector and a little awkward. My username is actually an ongoing inside joke, but that's a story for another day. I am happy that I finally get to join this community. Thank you for reading this messy introduction of mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sooks Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 Hey welcome! I’m glad you’re here! And don’t worry about your introduction being “messy”, mine was.... something better left forgotten. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
null Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 Welcome to the Forest! Glad to have you here! No worries about being nervous or having a "messy" intro. It's always intimidating entering a new community. I was the same myself when I first joined. Regardless, I hope you enjoy your time here!

Hopefully this means you are going to share your own challenge runs (perhaps as a screenshot LP), or play in a couple of drafts. 1 hour ago, Pierre Hoquet said: I also completed Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE around that time.

I find it interesting that you imported the games rather then emulate them with a translation patch. I am guessing you read Japanese well then. 1 hour ago, Pierre Hoquet said: This became a rather big wall of text, didn't it?

Honestly, I find the way you formatted your writing rather aesthetically pleasing. 2 hours ago, Pierre Hoquet said: My Fire Emblem journey aside, I am a retro collector and a little awkward.

That's a good suggestion, I would certainly be interested in doing a screenshot LP. My screenshots might not be of the highest quality, though. I have a feeling that I won't be winning any drafts, but it'll be fun nontheless. Then again, playing for the lowest amount of turns instead of turtling does have some appeal. 1 hour ago, Eltosian Kadath said: I find it interesting that you imported the games rather then emulate them with a translation patch.

They also serve as reminders for me to eventually learn Japanese. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadow Mir Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 Welcome to SF. Are you familiar with Utawarerumono, by any chance? Because that avatar gives me that impression. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Setsuna Emblem Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 Don't be intimidated by these louts, Pierre. For goodness' sake, Sooks picks his nose when he thinks no one is looking. You're safe here. No judgments. Share your deepest, darkest desires and depravities without as much as a second thought or so help me, I will weaponize this here birthday suit and make you rue the day. Capiche? I for one enjoyed your college essay. Reading people's personal FE history is always a pleasant pastime, since we can all relate such stories to some degree. Maybe post that retro collection of yours to flex a bit, or make sure to leave your own tributes on the Video Game Music thread. The machine hungers! Welcome to the dirt with stuff growing out of it. You're official now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
