Don't get mad at IS. Maeda's just too scared to look at a potential dark skinned avatar. The company's still in the "gay liberal propaganda" phase, hence this post's saucy start.

Wanting to change your avatar's skin color for representation vs wanting to change your avatars skin color so you can woohoo yourself

On 10/30/2022 at 4:23 PM, Shaky Jones said:

It's more of a responsibility to take back the heroes thing over calling myself a white supremacist. Skeletons are all white.

Agreed. Now do it. Take it back.

Isn't black tar heroin a little...sticky for that?

One mod. One bad click. I'm a goner.

Hey, Ruben can hack now, so if you get banned, we'll just meet back up on discord and make a hack based on our misadventures. BasedQuest, a game of vacuum cleaners, Garon, and a quest to recover the 11 secret herbs and spices from the Colonel Sanders army. Ruben will be the Jeigan.

Trust me, I'm trying. I'm pretty bad at that IRL and in games. To most, this is easy, but I actually need help with that. 

Y'know what? I'm proud of you for working on it. Good job, Shaky. It's harder for more people than many realize.

I'm so sorry for your loss. Have you tried getting him Doom?

Why is the laugh so un-enthused? A second "useless" gets an exclamation point, but laughter just gets a period. It's like he's fake-laughing.

GuardianSing after being discovered as being the most degenerate of them all.

I feel like there's some entirely separate in-joke here that I'm not privy to at all.

On 10/30/2022 at 4:23 PM, Shaky Jones said:

Welp. Here's another one Anon. Literally Mareeta Thracia. As if bringing up the Ikea staff from earlier wasn't a clear reference. It's not even just Kaga brainwashing. Zenon takes the most questionable parts of his games and plagiarizes them.

This reminds me of when you fight Lyn in Gheb FE, only instead of looking bored, she's depressed. It's quite comical. You kill her 5 times.

Maybe we can get to 5 FE5 references in this game, to match 5 Lyn fights in GhebFE.

Don't you like GhebFE? I'd like to hear more about that- everyone else quits after a few chapters, and while I don't really want to watch and "co-commentate" a full LP, I'd like to hear something about the game beyond it being offensive and offensively hard. By the standards of its time, at least.

On 10/30/2022 at 4:23 PM, Shaky Jones said:

Julius might as well be a cutscene instead of a fight based off how the game intends for you to beat him.

FE4 is such a garbage game that it invented the cutscene boss fight. Kaga did it first, and the flames of hell are hotter for him for it.

On 10/30/2022 at 4:23 PM, Shaky Jones said:

You guys will tell me when the next secret shop is, right, or if any of them actually feature stat boosters. Maybe there's literally no more speedwings in the game and I'm screwed. But I won't give up hoping! I will stay coping.

I honestly forgot where they are and what they sell (the one in the chapter were Edward joined sold Great Weapons), but I can look it up if you want.

On 10/30/2022 at 4:23 PM, Shaky Jones said:

The 6 puzzles? Oh boy. I love puzzles. 

It's not actually a puzzle.

It would fit comfortably within the Zelda series definition of a puzzle.

On 10/30/2022 at 4:23 PM, Shaky Jones said:

Again, horses should not be weighed down carrying a feeble thief. What kind of weak animal fails to carry 2 guys? I would put that horse down. Survival of the fittest.

Once again demonstrating that Fates Pair-Up is the superior movement tech. The horses effortlessly carry Benny with no drawbacks. He makes them stronger.

On 10/30/2022 at 4:23 PM, Shaky Jones said:

Defense is the best stat. 

Personality would be the 2nd best stat, but 3 Houses has charm, so that joke has been ruined.

Three Houses literally makes the world worse. It couldn't even just be bad on its own. It's stupid gimmick stat that it's own fans don't even remember has to go and flub something good up.

On 10/30/2022 at 4:23 PM, Shaky Jones said:

This doesn't work because the enemies are too scared to die as virgins to risk counterattacks, unlike the gigachad DSFE ai that would willingly sacrifice their life to aide their kingdom weaken the tyrant that is attempting to overthrow them and all of Archanea.  

Both Excelblem Marth and the Marth in my pmu canon are a-holes, so you can be a fan of either.

On 10/30/2022 at 4:23 PM, Shaky Jones said:

Are they really just God in Elibe? Like, I would say Elimine, but she sounds more like a prophet. I'm so used to the god of FE being a divine dragon. They're usually explicit about divinity in FE. Naga, Duma, Naga again, Literal Goddess Ashera, Naga one more time, Sothis->Seiros->Le protagonist. Don't ask me about Fates. The answer's Garon. I can't make puns on Elibe if I don't know the lore!

Yeah, Elibe (with the exception of those Sacaean subhumans) worship a singular being who is just called "God". Elimine is a saint and founder of the church- basically a prophet, like you said. There's no real metaphysics to Elibean lore or theology to the Church of St. Elimine, so your pun options are limited, fr fr on God.

On 10/30/2022 at 4:23 PM, Shaky Jones said:

Damn. Lyn got da grey hair now even though it looked green on da cutscene.

I'm guessing Zenon personally knitted an identical chieftain outfit, but red so she can be a bad guy. How kind of him. 

Probably just the generic enemy palette for Blade Lord.

No, that's giving him too much credit and character. This is the guy who cooms and consooms, clanging together funko pops.

On 10/30/2022 at 4:23 PM, Shaky Jones said:

Theseus is still very uncomfortable, but is not in a position to judge, as he is a child groomer who gets most of his reddit gold from Zenon.

Theseus says that the redpill is estrogen.

On 10/30/2022 at 4:23 PM, Shaky Jones said:

This time, GuardianSing signed in anonymously to strike arguments with foreigners about representation from afar without needing to reveal personal information for counter arguments.

So yeah, in-jokes. Is this a thing the actual guy does, or...?

I hate when foreigners talk to me about representation. They are dirty and their opinions should be disregarded. How dare they claim to know better about American media than me, an American?

On 10/30/2022 at 4:23 PM, Shaky Jones said:

If I could learn sol right now, I'd be depressed because I hate chance based procs.

Sol is honestly probably the best (maybe even the only decent) proc skill, since it contributes to a long-term goal (keep a unit alive) rather than a short-term one (kill a specific enemy), and therefore has more chances to meaningfully activate.

JnWl235.png

Arel, you are really blowing it today.

Yeah, like Ruben, I, uh...didn't kill Lyn in my playthrough. This was funny though, like, unironically in-context even without your comment.

I expect any differences between the "intended" route and your route to be removed from the plot in relatively short order, though.

On 10/30/2022 at 4:23 PM, Shaky Jones said:

You know, Corrin probably could've been a story promo based on the timings of the Yato upgrade. Awakening onwards basically got rid of story promos. For better or worse.

Honestly, probably for the best. It's better for gameplay, which matters. The best unironic plot in the series is FE6, and Roy could've promoted at basically any time without it impacting the story- his promotion moment is already accentuated as important by him getting the Binding Blade. In FE7 you literally promote the lords with an item, you just have to wait until chapter 25 to use it on the main character. Fates still somehow makes the Lord's promo tied to the plot by making your options tied to your route, which is honestly kinda cool.

On 10/30/2022 at 4:23 PM, Shaky Jones said:

Without story promos, it doesn't feel as special when the lord copies their parent's figure bit by bit to save time for devs, but I hate waiting for the game to decide for me. At least give me freedom in games. Do it in real life, and you kill yourself mysteriously.

Seth Rich moment.

So I got a message a while ago about my FE12 PMU. As it turns out, there's a demand for Astram gaming out there, and I hold all the stocks by default. This was an odd but pleasant surprise, because I thought everyone had forgotten about it, considering that half of my units were drafted by Ruben. I was considering dropping the run entirely due to how long it's been, but honestly, I miss that run. The team was mostly based, minus the unfortunate Catria pick that literally destroyed the entire plot of the first PMU. Thanks a lot to that guy who picked her. You're not reading this, so I can safely say "you're gonna turn into a Goomba!". I also want to one up Ruben by showing Frost kill Medeus, making me officially more Saint than him. Of course, a major reason I wasn't coming back to it was how much [REDACTED] dialogue it had to make, and going to it now would take a while to refresh my memory on. No, simply playing the game is not an option. I'll quiz you on the lore to see how much you care. Not knowing will make me cry and end Serenes. The entire website.

I want to go back to it, but I'm not sure when. This LP is taking way longer than intended, but I am getting a little bored of GBAFE, so don't be surprised if I suddenly swap to the other out of the blue. Or maybe I'll drop both runs and elope.

Don't worry. I'm not in on the joke either.

They're a frequent user of le overpopulated Teehee thread of normalized degeneracy that Ruben may or may not be hanging around to feel better about the degree of his own lusts. Guardgaming is one of the newer users who instead mostly spends their time being upset over sexism and representation in FE instead of lusting over some Trails Of series/Xenoblade, which I can't tell which is worse. At least that's what I gather when I catch up on Ruben posting, 90% of which is just Mario xcom shilling. Echoes bad because Celica damsel in distress now. Mystery bad because Minerva damsel in distress now. Maybe these are fair points, but if you like more things than 3 Houses, you get used to Fire Emblem being a depraved mess of unbalanced equality. I was raised by Kaga, and his legacy will carry on through possibly the most questionable aspects of the series. Just wait until they realize Edelgard isn't actually a deep character of le strong independent woman

 I mean somewhat little offense to the guys over there. I don't want to sound like I'm harassing them for liking things I find incorrect to enjoy, but I do want to make a point, because I'm right. I hope you understand Sussy Rubber.

You seen those Kaizo Mario games? It's like that, but now in FE. It's supposed to be stupid hard. It's not fair, and you're getting trolled, but that's arguably Thracia, so I still enjoyed it. It helps that I love stupid offensive humor. It brings me back to when my brother showed me 2009 YouTube Poop videos and Smosh videos, except with way more 1337. You two are older than me, so you're boomers. You surely already know Pwn, epic fail, uber tier, and the Spanish language. Gheb Fe loves talking like that, and I honestly can't tell ho much of it is ironic or is just genuine dialogue of the time. Your army is basically the enemies of FE8, as well as meme characters from most FE games, and even random FE7 character cameos with practically no explanation whatsoever. Denning, Batta the Beast, Fargus, etc. Half of these guys want to die, but since they're mostly evil, they kinda deserve the garbage Gheb puts them through. 

You don't play the game to have fun. You play it to laugh, so it's usually better to watch another guy play, but it is occasionally fun. I often find the game fun once you reach past the early game. As you said, the beginning is offensively hard. Everyone obliterates you. It's basically FE13 lunatic. Your only strat is to use Amelia's (Gheb's retainer/loli slave) prf lance to drop mines to chip them and stop their attacks, then player phase them, so you're basically playing a puzzle. You'll cherish getting a bow, because Gheb's way better off with them over axes. Soon, you get your Jeigan, Caellach. He can competently fight off a few enemies, but he has 0 luck, so you'll be hearing him say "F**k". That's his death quote. Get used to it. A lot of your early users like Vanessa and Tana are going to be useless unless you're THAT determined to train them, but you're better off with ranged units like Riev, the senile uncle of Cormag the confused cavalier. Soon, the game gets much easier when you get Colm and Lyon. Colm is still Colm. A thief, but now he's a Thracia thief. You'll be stealing a lot of weapons, and more often than not, it's to disarm the enemy more than it is to own what they had. Lyon starts as a summoner, so you get early game phantoms that help a TON. By chapter 5, things will become manageable. You have slight xp, some decent units, and the pacing is doable. You also get the mighty Batta the Beast, who also can steal. He mugging. That said, the story context is that you're literally there to arena abuse, because you should. The next chapter starts some true BS design. It's a fog map, so it's already garbage with strong enemies, but now, they added invisible enemies. Enemies you literally can't see on the screen. They can walk through any terrain and are typically prepromote style units, but with low HP. Since the game doesn't hint this, you probably won't notice until they sneak up on you and kill ya dead. You just have to keep scrolling your tile on non fog areas and spam click the status show-er (I don't know what it's called) button until you see something, which is annoying as heck. The game will be kinder past this though, 7 and 8 aren't the worst thing in the world, and once you unlock the Valni tower, you should be golden. You don't even need to grind that much, but the first floor features a monster who you can steal a weird sword from worth 25000, making you set on money, which you'll really want to buy Lightning swords, another thing that makes the game easier past the first few chapters. it's a levin sword, but you get +5 to a lot of stats, including luck that Caellach really needs. 

I know, it really sounds like FE13 lunatic, which is a bad thing, but at least it's funny, and there's more to the game than Robin solo. Typically, I used the tower whenever I got new units I wanted to use, but they obviously fall off quick on their join time. If a unit gets little xp from a kill, that would be my cue to stop, so I don't just have an army of promos early on to destroy the point of the challenge. I reckon that unless you're playing on the hardest difficulty, it's probably possible to still enjoy yourself without grinding past chapter 8, but you really enjoy the stupid things that come out of the tower. On floor 5, there is a chest, like all others, but if you have a member's card, it's actually a secret shop. Anna's just inside the chest. You can buy Forblaze EX. Gheb FE features EX weapons as the game's legendaries, which are holy weapon levels of broken. They give you ludicrous stats, including HP buffs. Forblaze EX gives you +20 max HP when held. See? I don't need to play FE4 to use busted fetish tier weapon power. A lot of enemy placements are made to be really hard to get through, but I love that, so it's far more interesting than vanilla SS, or a lot of FE. That is whenever the game isn't throwing invisible enemies at you. On chapter 14 of Gheb's route, there's a random invisible green unit who walks about just to take up space. He can't be rescued, so be careful, because it is possible for him to occupy the throne, softlocking you from beating the map. Status staves are somewhat more common, and their hit rate is drastically increased, but at least you can steal them, and they're even available in shops, so you both have access to broken nonsense. Another reason the game feels easier later is that it's like FE11 in the sense that enemies mainly get strong immediately and grow at a slow pace. Like, on Glass hard, enemies on chapter 9 might already have 20 cap strength, but you're not going to see them get much stronger in any other category for a while, so you probably can spoon-feed weaker units then with your tough guys.

The late game is probably where the game is just easy. Growth rates are high, you own everything available, your inventory full of nosferatus, and the enemy kinda fell off. There'll be challenging bosses, but you should be golden by then. The lategame is more or less the part where you slaughter the heroes of vanilla FE8 with your brigand army. Orson is Seth. Caellach is Joshua. Riev is Natasha. Lyon is Erika and/or Ephraim, sometimes both. Also Lyn is there as a generic enemy, who is depressed. You kill her 5 times. A lot of minibosses are present in the lategame, and they're the main thing left that can still hurt you. Natasha's weapon is Final Light, which has like infinite crit. On chapter 20, Lyn becomes Formortis. Also the white one is there, and he's got 2 Myrhh's as minibosses next to him. You recruit Myrhh's father and can use him to kill his 2 twin daughters, which very much depresses him. Also Rennac and Dozla are there. It's like 5 minibosses in one chapter. Any chapter with Lute is going to have several boltings and berserk staffs, so FE6 fans clap and dance. You end up killing many bosses more than once, not because they retreat, but because necromancy is a major plot point.

I don't think I can sell the game on being balanced, fun, or well made, because it's supposed to suck, but it was hilarious to experience, and sometimes I do enjoy that Awakening feeling of just destroying the game with absurd items and mechanics, although I'd like to think that's more of the Thracia fan in me that loves conquering hardships and gets rewarded with nuclear devices to destroy the Europeans that sought to conquer us all those centuries ago.

Also the game has uber tier promotions. 3rd tiers! But only on prepromotes, making them objectively better than basic tiers. Valter literally gets 12 move. Uber tier units get paragon xp. Honestly, telling you most of this ruins the fun of the game, because randomly experiencing these while playing blind is what gave the idiotic charm the game has to me. So many laughs.

But why? The boss is right there. The glory of killing Lyn is right there. 

Do you even get her as a unit? Or any reward? Don't tell me it's just to feel good. That's a terrible reward. I'm not GuardianSing. I'm normal. Story isn't the world to me.

This should be the last mention of them for a while, unless more Guardian enemies pop up. They're probably a good person IRL. Maybe. Better than me at least.

You know, if you actually ship Lyn and Kent, then Kent will probably look really bad here for apparently ditching his daughter, while Lyn x Eliwood makes Saya and Roy siblings, which is very weird to think about. It also means Eliwood has dementia for not recognizing Saya at all despite looking very similar to a younger Lyn. Lyn x Rath is odd because you'd think Sue would know Saya personally when they interacted once considering they're both Sacaens. Sorry to be such a nerd right now, but it does feel heavily implied that either Hector is the father who had some reason to abandon the kid without ever saying hi to continue ruling his nation, or that the Lyn x Mark fans finally won. It's definitely the easiest answer. Lyn ran from them after realizing that they use discord nitro and probably would've simped for their own daughter.

Splatoon players on their way to be absolutely cracked at the funny kid's game.

Either Heaven or Earth took my advice to heart and suddenly made a game a lot harder now. Now their stats are on par with lategame FE6 hard. Actually, it's probably harder. At least FE6 enemies mostly stuck with steels that weighed them down and had abysmal hit rates. These boys farmed for diamond and they're geared up for the ender dragon, only it's the game where you get virtually no promo gains, making the enemies stand out more. Their generally high stats also give them decent avoid, making you hit rates almost return to FE6 tier. Clearly, an intentional reference.

We are now officially on the lategame arc. Enemies are on par with those on Zephiel's chapter, which is around 22 of FE6, but this time I'm not rocking 5 of each killer weapon or any legendary weapons at all. Guess they really wanted to show that the Black Dragon are on par with Bern's elite, and I hate that fact. They're COD players comparing themselves to real war veterans.

0GTv4aA.png

Along with intricate enemy placement marks a return to bad game design, aka luna tome guy. Except it's not bad anymore, not by a lot. They only have 16 crit now, which is much more forgiving than that of FE7 druids, but that's because luna tomes in this game only have 10 crit, much like the Sacred Stones one, instead of 20. You probably do have at least a few units who have 16 luck, so it's not entirely rng hell anymore, meaning I won't be ranting about FE7 being bad again, unless you really want me to.

At last. After 8 chapters, 9 level ups, and 31 Trachina bad jokes, she reached double digit magic. 3 whole magic points. 3 speed too. What a speed demon with these growths. She couldn't double then, and she can't double now. This is actually the perfect representation of how pointless science really is. I do not refer to making medicine or mid romhacking, but the idea of science as an opposite to religion, Ruben. There are many scientists who may claim that religion is a cope for unanswered life mysteries, but is the idea of desperately seeking an answer for the world's vast nature through separate means not a cope in itself? People often seek answers regarding the convoluted intricacies or metaphysical aspects of the universe out of fear of feeling insignificant or ignorant to the what has been engulfing your plane of existence. Regardless of what was the cause of the metaphysical aspects of life, we have been placed onto this world, and we can use what was given to us to grow as a species. Is the idea of something presented by supposed facts and logic engraved in our world through natural events really an objective improvement to the concept of a divinity? Arguing over it will likely not reach any stable conclusion for many, but what we can agree on is that we're here, and we should strive to enjoy what has been given to us. Be grateful for what you are able to do, whether that means to thank God, yourself, some other divinity, or simply loved ones for being their for you in this planet, as the ability to even make this choice is a miracle in of itself. Enjoy life.

Come to think of it, the fact that a unit who had capped speed on 1st tier being incapable of doubling because +0 speed is incredibly depressing. Unlike FE7, this is designed around you having fast units by now, which is physically impossible for Saya because she just got promoted, and swords weigh even more in this game. Even FE6 Roy can double on his promo time if you got somewhat lucky with him. Actual L + speed issue.

Ah crap, how could you have done this? 

The ultimate sin. Enemy assassins. Something usually never seen in FE except in extremely rare scenarios, and there's a reason for that. They packin the United Kingdom surprise. They got a shanking license. They are legally allowed to shank your liver and get an easy dub. In modern FE, that's a skill that can be removed, so enemy assassins can be spammed without worry, and Kaga FE doesn't really have British people. The Big Shank is built into them in GBAFE, and it's why the games never throw them at you, even in arenas. Jaffar is recruitable green unit. Luckily, the British's talent is total dogs**t. Instead of being based of your skill stat, it's based on your critical chance. Not as in your base crit is equal to your chance of instant killing. 50% of your criticals will result in an "oi mate" moment, even though a regular stab in America would also result in death, at least in the GBA era with how weak FE7 and FE8 enemies tend to be. Not having a killing edge makes your odds to shank virtually 1% Unluckily, this guy actually does have a  M9 Bayonet Crimson Web he pulled from CS:GO, so he could slice someone's nuts if he's feeling swift. Luckily again, you have the iron rune by now, so you have a reliable way to completely avoid a stabbing incident, similar to the fact that it's best to always be prepared to avoid unnecessary death. The message here is to stay strapped.

I really should go back to that LP in a few weeks. Bantu would look so great on my sig. Ping's got FE6 Marcus kills on his, and I could easily do the same for mine.

Another example of spooky enemy placement, although not as extreme since you could attack the dark lad from the lower end to avoid the range. They could've moved the manakete down by one, but I'm not sure I want to deal with a luna boy in range of a 2nd defense piercing creature. Ask me again when I'm in the mood for belittling FE fans who don't play on the highest difficulty.

Oi. I need some strength. You can't be a warrior and not have 20 strength. 

Gim has certainly fallen from his Cord status of being virtually unstoppable in the early mid game, getting growth's that utterly destroyed Ruben and his false claims, although now he's the decent warrior whose speed offsets their mid strength to allow for easy setup kills, which I sadly still find myself needing even this late in the game.

I went through the trouble of throwing up my best friend to get some sweet chip damage for easy kills next turn, and instead I got more enemies with full HP than when I started feeling. Now I have no choice but to retreat after all that early rushing! I'm being punished for trying to play good. Technically, there's nothing to gain from being fast here, but it's a pet peeve of mine to retreat. It gives me bad memories of Golden Wildfire, where you retreat your entire army 3 times. This isn't a bit. This actually happens, and it's all written terribly, but I don't want to bring 3 Copes into this thread, not again.

That'd be cool. Ah, but they take all your items when you get captured...The firestone can't be that big. Feeler can just shove it up his-

I already aggro'd you! You really just stop when you can't see me anymore? Look for me! What kinda ai is this? Great! That's 2 turns wasted from something I refuse to blame myself for.

xeI77MH.png

Surely, 3rd turn's the charm. Life would be better if I was a casual that just played FE for fun, but I need a prideful victory. If I'm playing FE6 and killing Iduun with Roy, what was even the point of playing the game?

XR1rbnk.png

Using braves so often makes me think of New Mystery, and why I enjoy difficult games. I like having to use all my resources. Learning all I can do with what I'm given. Being pushed to my limit, it's a rather cathartic experience, but I've been told it relates to being mentally unstable and requiring complete attention just to gain any sense of feeling alive. I'm not alive, so it's a non issue. I just like a challenge.

Sometimes, you love your kid, but you can admit that they don't know how to function, to put it nicely. I love me some units, but Sergei isn't exactly popping off anymore with the 12 speed and 11 skill. Dude can only do so much with his magic when elfire is too risky to pull off, and 15 defense is good, but enemies now do 12*2, so he's still getting 2RKO'd. Don't get your knickers in a twist. He's still awesome. It's really hard to move on from broken marriages. That stuff destroys people. At least Sergei has high magic and defense, whereas Lilina only has high magic, but you don't see Sergei cards selling for 1000 dollars.

As the daughter of the mighty Dorcas, Emmy must honor her father's bloodline and pride by mastering the axe. She's in for a rough scolding when she realizes that Dorcas actually mastered the bow the entire time.

If this game had split class promotions, then bow knight Emmy would be popping off.

RB7PRYs.png

One more trade with Camilla and I once again rise on top of a sticky situation. Before FE became heavily focused on new outside mechanics, this was really all you had to pull off last minute zingers.

No one uses status staves. You just hoarded them the entire time, but if you don't use warp, you're based. I still never warp skip maps, because I actually try to beat the maps I play.

Have you guys ever heard of Unholy War on ps1? There's this one robot that says "target eliminated" real cool. I think Sieks would sound like that every time he kills. You guys see it, yeah?

Defense? In this economy?

Inflation has reduced the value of defense. 3 Houses exemplifies this by needing to give you 50+ defense through class bonuses with gambit buffs in order to qualify as a tank, as well as abusable gardening that represents rigging the stock market, all reducing the value of base defense level ups needed to counter the 60+ attack enemies. This game is only just now entering a period of inflation, so the moderate defense is appreciated to get the bread.

Of course I know that Awakening could've been used instead, but somehow 3H actually fits the analogy more. I don't feel bad for mocking this. Awakening's the dying horse that's already been beaten. 3 Houses is the spoiled brat celebrity who needs to be put in their place, but this time I can't shoot them.

Deciding that the game needed more FE7 references, here's yet even more reinforcements, though only 1/3 as much as what you would see.

One of them uses a killer lance, so approaching the nomad is unwise, and I almost respect the decision to time the reinforcements like that, if only someone else was playing so I can laugh at their expense, but neither Ruben or Anon want to give me an LP where Cord, Roger, and Caesar annihilate all of Archanea, sans peg time.

5dbqpfz.png

The average dodge fan wouldn't see a problem in this, but Ruben is internally screaming at the 73% chance that this guy could've crit the one unit in my army that teehee would've liked, not counting Camilla for obvious unfunny reasons. For better or worse, I don't make FE, so you get flawed designs like berserkers with hand axes. Similar to the luna druids, they have high crit AND 1-2 range, leaving you with practically no way to safely kill them. Their health is too high to kill immediately even with braves, and you don't have a Bors to tank the hit. Even Sieks can die. FE6 also has berserkers, but many are bosses with 1 range options to bait out, albeit extremely annoying to fight, and generic berserkers are typically very easy to dodge with the right setup, or you can Bors.

(Note: Bors means tank)

Gim would die to both of them if the first cav is a crit rigger. Maybe, Trachina can bait the other one to prevent a double team. Or maybe the sword cav will just kill her with a crit, which is also a solution.

With the hero and his boys gorshed, Feeler can play the rest of the map on his own, because it's not even a meme anymore.

5lBitdy.png

I'm sure if I had translated supports I bothered to go for, this could've been reduced by a fair amount. The only reason I ever use Shanna is to support Wade and/or Lot. I rarely actually rely on support bonuses though, because I tend to have non compatible units. I'd be so happy if Bartre could support Douglas. 

Dn4cqhW.png

I've reconsidered. If Trachina dies, the run might as well end. All my efforts would be wasted. Content lost. Ruben's heart would sink, and Anon would grow too happy. If Feeler dies, the run will also end. If I die, the run will be passed onto Anon. I'll have someone transfer my save data to you.

Spoiler

Okay, dumb dumb stupid integration aside, sorry about the extra week delay only for a half post. If you couldn't tell, this chapter is extremely long. It's easily the most amount of screenshots to date, and ch 17 had a 76 screenshot ending cutscene. It didn't help that this post was full of elongated rants, which is normally fine, but of course, the post got deleted about 80% of the way through, which pissed me off like always. I originally was going to just quickly redo it and post slightly later, but guess what? I HAD JURY DUTY! HAHAHAHAHAH!!! My post I rushed through was wasted right before then! I love legally enforced free labor! Now I'm back, and I forgot most of what my original post was, so you get version 2.0, except it's only in beta testing, and you get a demo. You'll never see what I originally had written here, but maybe this one's better. I don't recall anymore, but the passion was lost. Great start to November! I just want something released to post, even if this is only like 1/4 of the actual chapter. My bro's birthday is in two days so that's another cope for a rushed release. Maybe I'll feel better coming back to this after some holiday spirits, or maybe just Thanksgiving. Let's talk feel good stuff about being grateful. I'm grateful for myself. I'm grateful for Ruben's Matthis pick on my FE11 PMU. I'm grateful for Anon's disturbing search history. I'm grateful for my cats. I'm grateful for Fates and New Mystery. Umm, yeah no, that's all I'm grateful for. Now I'm sad again.

Wait, wait! I got one. I'm grateful for not being British.

So I got a message a while ago about my FE12 PMU. As it turns out, there's a demand for Astram gaming out there, and I hold all the stocks by default. This was an odd but pleasant surprise, because I thought everyone had forgotten about it, considering that half of my units were drafted by Ruben. I was considering dropping the run entirely due to how long it's been, but honestly, I miss that run. The team was mostly based, minus the unfortunate Catria pick that literally destroyed the entire plot of the first PMU. Thanks a lot to that guy who picked her. You're not reading this, so I can safely say "you're gonna turn into a Goomba!". I also want to one up Ruben by showing Frost kill Medeus, making me officially more Saint than him. Of course, a major reason I wasn't coming back to it was how much [REDACTED] dialogue it had to make, and going to it now would take a while to refresh my memory on. No, simply playing the game is not an option. I'll quiz you on the lore to see how much you care. Not knowing will make me cry and end Serenes. The entire website.

I want to go back to it, but I'm not sure when. This LP is taking way longer than intended, but I am getting a little bored of GBAFE, so don't be surprised if I suddenly swap to the other out of the blue. Or maybe I'll drop both runs and elope. 

No, don't, I wanna see the end of Yubello's adventures.

Don't worry. I'm not in on the joke either.

They're a frequent user of le overpopulated Teehee thread of normalized degeneracy that Ruben may or may not be hanging around to feel better about the degree of his own lusts. Guardgaming is one of the newer users who instead mostly spends their time being upset over sexism and representation in FE instead of lusting over some Trails Of series/Xenoblade, which I can't tell which is worse. At least that's what I gather when I catch up on Ruben posting, 90% of which is just Mario xcom shilling. Echoes bad because Celica damsel in distress now. Mystery bad because Minerva damsel in distress now. Maybe these are fair points, but if you like more things than 3 Houses, you get used to Fire Emblem being a depraved mess of unbalanced equality. I was raised by Kaga, and his legacy will carry on through possibly the most questionable aspects of the series. Just wait until they realize Edelgard isn't actually a deep character of le strong independent woman

 I mean somewhat little offense to the guys over there. I don't want to sound like I'm harassing them for liking things I find incorrect to enjoy, but I do want to make a point, because I'm right. I hope you understand Sussy Rubber.

I mean, I tend to agree with Guardian more often than not, so uh... What can I say? More fuel for the fire of our war, Bones.

Also, Mario XCOM 2 shilling is over, because I finished the game. Now begins the era of praising the funny death plume game.

Splatoon players on their way to be absolutely cracked at the funny kid's game.

Either Heaven or Earth took my advice to heart and suddenly made a game a lot harder now. Now their stats are on par with lategame FE6 hard. Actually, it's probably harder. At least FE6 enemies mostly stuck with steels that weighed them down and had abysmal hit rates. These boys farmed for diamond and they're geared up for the ender dragon, only it's the game where you get virtually no promo gains, making the enemies stand out more. Their generally high stats also give them decent avoid, making you hit rates almost return to FE6 tier. Clearly, an intentional reference.

No yeah, this game's difficulty spike isn't quite as ridiculous as TLP's, but it's up there. Everyone just gets really good all of a sudden.

Sergei, holding an expression that resembles the face of a Breaking Bad promotional image, he raises his right hand. It begins to glow, shaking about as he stares straight into the enemy mercenary, silent as the man he faces begins to cough profusely. They fall onto the ground, holding their arms against their chest as their coughs begin to spew out blood. Their vision grows hazy, the sound of gusts and tornados echo about, but from where? Within his own body, his organs flail wildly. Cuts and gashes become present onto his lungs, his liver. The rib cage begins to crack, and the heart scrapes through the sharp edges of bone and sinew. The man, now fully on the ground, he vomits blood profusely, unable to breathe despite the abundance of oxygen inside him. He looks up one last time as Sergei simply stares into his fading eyes, slowly beginning to close for the last time as the winds of madness fade away.

Sergei does not feel like a winner, though. Because he is still former husband.

At last. After 8 chapters, 9 level ups, and 31 Trachina bad jokes, she reached double digit magic. 3 whole magic points. 3 speed too. What a speed demon with these growths. She couldn't double then, and she can't double now. This is actually the perfect representation of how pointless science really is. I do not refer to making medicine or mid romhacking, but the idea of science as an opposite to religion, Ruben. There are many scientists who may claim that religion is a cope for unanswered life mysteries, but is the idea of desperately seeking an answer for the world's vast nature through separate means not a cope in itself? People often seek answers regarding the convoluted intricacies or metaphysical aspects of the universe out of fear of feeling insignificant or ignorant to the what has been engulfing your plane of existence. Regardless of what was the cause of the metaphysical aspects of life, we have been placed onto this world, and we can use what was given to us to grow as a species. Is the idea of something presented by supposed facts and logic engraved in our world through natural events really an objective improvement to the concept of a divinity? Arguing over it will likely not reach any stable conclusion for many, but what we can agree on is that we're here, and we should strive to enjoy what has been given to us. Be grateful for what you are able to do, whether that means to thank God, yourself, some other divinity, or simply loved ones for being their for you in this planet, as the ability to even make this choice is a miracle in of itself. Enjoy life.

Woo. Now keep using her.

Don't take this as an insult, but- actually, do take it as an insult. This is something Anon would do. I still remember that thread where you fantasized murdering the awakening children. That thread was about bounding them up and detailing putting a gun onto their head, possibly in front of their loved ones. Last time I brought this up, you threw Soul something under the bus, but methinks you're both depraved lunatics to get off to bloodlust. This guy's your self insert. Your softer side is apparently revealed by dark skinned women who probably wouldn't die to a single bullet. It sounds very you, so it is.

I'd object, but there does seem something very appealing about a dark-skinned woman who could survive multiple gunshot wounds. I do not think Gilling has such refined taste.

Anyway, that wasn't even for sadism. I was just asserting my dominance by shooting Kjelle when Soul said she could beat any of us in a fight.

Furthermore, Soul may be a Mormon, but he would never get off to bloodshed. Though I acknowledge that "lust" is literally right there in the term "bloodlust".

He's a true white knight. Loyal cuck to the end.

If Kent really did abandon his daughter, he's more like a true cunt than a true cuck.

On 11/12/2022 at 6:02 PM, Shaky Jones said:

You know, if you actually ship Lyn and Kent, then Kent will probably look really bad here for apparently ditching his daughter, while Lyn x Eliwood makes Saya and Roy siblings, which is very weird to think about. It also means Eliwood has dementia for not recognizing Saya at all despite looking very similar to a younger Lyn. Lyn x Rath is odd because you'd think Sue would know Saya personally when they interacted once considering they're both Sacaens. Sorry to be such a nerd right now, but it does feel heavily implied that either Hector is the father who had some reason to abandon the kid without ever saying hi to continue ruling his nation, or that the Lyn x Mark fans finally won. It's definitely the easiest answer. Lyn ran from them after realizing that they use discord nitro and probably would've simped for their own daughter.

"Mark", being an FE avatar self-insert, would undoubtedly do that. He doesn't even have physical violence as an outlet.

The weird thing though is that all Lyn's FE7 endings imply she stays with whoever her A-support partner is (and thus only returns to Sacae in her Rath paired ending, which we've already established would be weird), so it almost feels implied that Saya's father is some rando or the result of a brief fling rather than a permanent relationship.

Sergei, holding an expression that resembles the face of a Breaking Bad promotional image, he raises his right hand. It begins to glow, shaking about as he stares straight into the enemy mercenary, silent as the man he faces begins to cough profusely. They fall onto the ground, holding their arms against their chest as their coughs begin to spew out blood. Their vision grows hazy, the sound of gusts and tornados echo about, but from where? Within his own body, his organs flail wildly. Cuts and gashes become present onto his lungs, his liver. The rib cage begins to crack, and the heart scrapes through the sharp edges of bone and sinew. The man, now fully on the ground, he vomits blood profusely, unable to breathe despite the abundance of oxygen inside him. He looks up one last time as Sergei simply stares into his fading eyes, slowly beginning to close for the last time as the winds of madness fade away.

Inflation has reduced the value of defense. 3 Houses exemplifies this by needing to give you 50+ defense through class bonuses with gambit buffs in order to qualify as a tank, as well as abusable gardening that represents rigging the stock market, all reducing the value of base defense level ups needed to counter the 60+ attack enemies. This game is only just now entering a period of inflation, so the moderate defense is appreciated to get the bread.

Of course I know that Awakening could've been used instead, but somehow 3H actually fits the analogy more. I don't feel bad for mocking this. Awakening's the dying horse that's already been beaten. 3 Houses is the spoiled brat celebrity who needs to be put in their place, but this time I can't shoot them.

Awakening also borders on being outright B-material. It may present itself as more than it really is, but not nearly to the same degree as FE16. Awakening is an openly goofy game in many places with well-crafted but ultimately shallow emotional beats, whereas Three Houses is a complete cluster of funky design choices which not only presents shallow emotional beats, but poorly-made ones that draw attention to themselves and demand to be treated as fine art.

It did lead to us becoming acquainted through Tomas, and that ironman was pretty fun, so I thank him for being him whenever the units are more Matthis than Yubello.

Yeah, it's impolite to talk smack behind your back.

True enough. Talking smack in front of them probably won't work for aforementioned reasons, and many don't assume the worst of their reputation like I do.

Actually, that reputation is turning into fame. I got ping'd on a discord server over appearing in an Excel video for the 2nd time. My popularity is rising, and my status as the Cord Connoisseur will bring about a new age of based.

I suggest you take it. It's not like you and I have much in common either. Probably. I don't like guns, for one, and I don't hate the catholic church.

We take what we do have in common and feel happy about it. We're all contrarians.

Seriously, how does Ruben not like New Vegas? It screams contrarian! He will say "The voice acting was bad and the game was a buggy mess", ignorant of the absolute beauty that is the DLC. He weeps over my mention of gaslighting him to try every portion of a game before being allowed to dislike it. Truly, this is the teehee 3 Houses of our interaction over a popular game.

Spoiler

Context is he used to be a legionary (aka le bad guy), but after failing a vital mission and being burned alive and thrown off a canyon, he somehow survived and went back to a native village he once taught/raised, thanking God for giving a man like him a second chance, yet still plagued by a lust for revenge, both against the legion and the other tribe of the dlc that slaughter his own, a sin he must overcome through redemption and possibly the player's input dependent on your route/dialogue decisions. Funny bandage man is one of the most beloved video game characters praised for his writing and voice acting

but Ruben will never know☠️

this is the funny bandage man Anon brought up once.

I still can't believe that. Imagine my face when I just sort of ran into the revelation that slavery is still legal in the US. How does that compute with the whole "freedom land" thing? Do they get guns?

Similar to how modern candidates throw buzzwords as promises that they do not keep, so do old forms of government not attempt to adhere to the ideals that the United States was founded upon, and presidents such as Lincoln exaggerate their disdain for controversies such as slavery at the time as a means to gain the favor of abolitionists during the civil war.

Chapter 20 (P2): Is Ruben Allowed To Celebrate Christmas?

Spoiler

Starting off with a bang. 

There is no rest for the wicked.

fclvWB0.png

Now I gotta know if which ones this could be based on. The boss? Turns? Entering the village? Could be all 3 with how I can't get a single damn turn without reinforcements. I'm getting annoyed, and if I can't look to FE for comfort, I'll seek happiness through money. Your money. I'll steal it. Specifically yours.

K7h38dz.png

Now let's actually roast this beef.

fEPniYf.png

Can't all be zingers. Wish I'd get skill or strength though. Feeler's luckier than me at this point.

ll8GH3N.png

It's probably the village that proc'd these guys, because I refuse to believe that timing was just that cruel to me, but f**k you. Guess I'll rescue, except Gim can't reach them from above, and rescuing from below would destroy me.

Why would you even think that she can do something right?

This always looks cool. Who cares for realism? Unless it's the 3H horses literally jumping 360 style on a magic crit for no reason other than to look cool. It doesn't. Is this bias? Probably, but there's a difference when it comes from us. 

Turn 10: I'm Going To Look Hypocritical If I Don't Move 3H down to C tier or Worse

4jyK5KD.png

Think of it this way. If this was 3H, I could use a gambit and player phase the heck outta these bozos. That's satisfying and sometimes even fun. It's also dumb because it promotes these FE4 type enemy jumbly wumblys, and you could argue that stunning the enemy reduces the importance of planning out player phase assaults, but at least it beats running away until you find a way to steamroll them. In 3H's case, vantage wrath or alert stance builds solo, so why bother? One good, one bad. I hate it, but I like it, and I hate that.

EQxOYFo.png

Did you know that the Spear of Assal deals effective damage against cavalry, but it doesn't tell you that? Some find out on their own, but I didn't for about 4 runs, which is also how long it takes for actual fans to find out how adjutant skills work.

 64MPCTw.png

Yeah no, I just have to wait. I would love to use stride right now. The other "it's fun to use but also stupid of how horribly balanced it is in concept". Like, Kaga makes broken things too, but I swear this isn't just me being a dirty elitist again. In many cases, it's lore relevance that justifies the broken parts of gameplay mechanics and such, even if I still think some of the holy weapons go too far. Admittedly, something like +4 move boots is just Kaga being off his meds, but why are some rando E rank battalions able to give you such a game breaking +5 move skill at some random point in the mid-early game? You might not even know you have it in your barracks. Do I complain? It is fun often, and Gaiden is fun at times because its rings are so much more broken than SoV, but when I see a lot of 3H mechanics, I just don't see any of it giving the vibes of "this was playtested and well thought out". Something like Thracia makes you imagine Kaga in his prison basement thinking "I know this isn't balanced. Release it. It's funny" and he does that smile you all know by now. I see others rant over this stuff, but it could just be overexaggerated hate of the new game for the sake of it. I know some parts I despite, but this is one of those "I dunno boss".

QwTg5VB.png

You don't get any manaketes in 3 Houses! Garbage.

WBsMerj.png

Anyways, Gim stays in the corner for the cavs. He's faster now. Give me strength. I have frail bones and need a strong man.

RIy0Stt.png

Imagine if Erica had a quote for her crits. That's something 3H does that can be appreciated, if it wasn't just the standard by now. Instead I can rant about how unsatisfying the actual hit is. Where's the nuclear explosion of the strike? I don't want them dead. I want them murdered.

MmLU9LH.png

But at least 3 Houses doesn't have sleep! 

Don't worry, I won't bring up the game for the rest of the post.

Turn 11: I Haven't Been Watching Too Many Engage Updates

If I made Sacred Stones, Riev would've been a General with a swordreaver, a lancereaver, and the axereaver. It's in the name. He rievs. He'd have busted stats, so you'd have to rely on the riev advantage to get the upper hand. 

Wait, you could just use magic and he'd have one range. How about this? The Rievereaver. Prf. 1-2 range. Rievs ALL weapons. Use a reav weapon yourself to return everything to its neutral stance. I'd be the greatest co-creator of Ruben Stones, but you've already finished it, so I'll wait for the sequel.

Nikita's counting the days until the #engagesweep and Yaraf tries to save him from deniers.

Emmy and Sieks are fine, unless the merc attacks Emmy and neither fighter misses, but the merc is a youtube prankster. He's going to pretend to kidnap Camilla the defenseless woman for views.

He soon got canceled. It wasn't because of the prank, but the thumbnail was clickbait and showed Fates Camilla.

She's got a headband similar to Saya. She could easily be the protagonist, but I might have to kill Dorcas. At least Eliwood was sick. We can't have a leader with their dad following around. That's why The Last Promise completely disregarded Shon's existence, making the father the lord.

Seriously, I still will not forgive Blazer for doing nothing with Shon in the lategame.

gubeumr.png

What a great setup for next turn. I sure hope he doesn't get physic'd!

B5PFmwP.png

9 hit? I sleep.

Turn 12: What Yo Bow Rank?

Saya can use bows of her own now, but Yaraf needs to redeem himself more than Saya needs to avenge her mother.

Sieks saved the Trachina time.

She can finally survive one hit from silver wielding enemies. You love to see it.

I will promote her by the end of this chapter. There is no chance in France that I'll wait til lvl 20. This ends here.

Turn 13: Every Time I Type Biden, I Forget A Portion of My Youth

6TMdEUr.png

I like how I said that my team can finally progress forward, yet here I am, still stuck on this corner for 10 turns now. This house better hold Joe Biden.

C2lcByx.png

In Fates, Saya would've had duelist blow. She'd have enough avoid to not worry over crits, and I wouldn't need to shuffle the funny shield around. 

Okay, that's a lie. She's a lord and would've had "Heavenly Winds of Earth". You blow on the microphone and amplify your damage input based on how pure your soul is.

koLM2yC.png

I do need that speed. I need that con more, but Saya doesn't own a gym membership pass, so speed's her game.

Elibean gyms hate Saceans.

RZrLzWA.png

Fun fact. Arel was running away from this archer and fighter for about 4 turns now. He miraculously dodged for all that time, but he pushed his luck. The lesson is that you shouldn't push your luck telling me to train your awful faves.

XLBIpCZ.png

My impatience is killing Yaraf. The BD unit somehow got his lance stuck between Yaraf's bow, muzzled right in between Yaraf's chunkiness and his horse's uselessness.

This looks like a miss, but the strike came out as a jumpscare to Yaraf, reducing his life expectancy by 2 weeks. This cannot he healed via staff.

Turn 14: Man With Brain Damage Forgot How To Move

z5qgYHD.png

73yCTzX.png

DZcLOhq.png

The rescue staff is finally needed. I'm glad I endangered Yaraf for a single kill.

qRt21s4.png

Saya needs legendries to one round, and this is a strength blessed lass. Ruben's Saya must've done wonders, assuming he didn't bench her for Lydia.

To be fair, the sword only has 11 might. It's mid. Even a silver sword does better, which perfectly reflects the power of the Earth after the industrial revolution.

2dcJh6Y.png

Camilla has favorites. Emmy, Feeler, and Sieks. These 3 tend to be danced the most. Whichever one pleases you the most to imagine will speaks millions of you.

Dh20iIn.png

Only after Nikita finally gets up does the bishop resume his sleeping duties, probably to not destroy my army when confronted by 5000 reinforcements. Even romhack devs have a limit, which really shouldn't have surprised me given how often the mainline series fails to show mercy.

Turn 15: How Does Ruben Reply To These Text Bloated Posts So Fast?

r43pN6q.png

At least the cavs allow for easy Saya gains for her newly fresh drip. If only they were paladins, so I'd actually get something. If there's one thing problematic about this design in this context, the enemies are fairly strong, but drop xp akin to fe7 tier. Set up a kill to kill a basic merc, and you get 10 xp, even though it feels as tough as killing a promoted fe6 enemy. Technically, fe6 also starts giving you minimal xp when killing basic with your warrior Wades, but they're thrown in moderate bunches and are weak enough even on hard to combine into regular xp for regular pacing level ups. Trachina's the only one getting any yellow bar fill noises, and I demand a full level up per kill.

55WKxhK.png

Feeler's destroying though, so he'll level up regardless. 

He finally has enough res and HPs to survive a Zenon strike at base, and the stone's +5 res means he canonically tanks Lyon's Naglfar. All he needs now is 3 more speed to avoid being doubled from Zenon's nimble fingers being the keyboard warrior he is.

Also he needs 2 more HP to survive 2 50 might physical hits. The last 3 level ups are getting me shaking.

17s92Yd.png

Nikita was never in any danger.

JoLnXXi.png

ZKObDUL.png

Saya is currently in danger.

VviwSBf.png

Lucky Siexties range.

4KxTMB2.png

Never fails.

I can't believe Erica failed to kill a wyvern despite doubling. Tomas never had this problem. It's something Ruben and I bonded over when we pretended to respect the other's country of origin.

TT4vg4I.png

Trachina does something right with her decent res. 

If anyone reads this far and is concerned that me and Ruben actually fight because of our ethnic origins, you're right. We are prejudiced. And racist.

Come to think of it, she's not so different from Saya. Now they both use bows. Similar stats. Green hair. This is all that defines an FE character. I can't read Japanese supports, which only helps me create my own canon personalities, which I've always preferred. I create my own stories in FE11.

Turn 18 Years Old: I Still Feel Like 16

NxVCtzN.png

The green unit is very much not 18, but unlike the modern gaming industry, children can die here. In a Bethesda game, they'd be immune to these red units. 

I don't think any modern FE game lets children die, at least in actual gameplay. In an FE4, or even FE8 remake, I wouldn't be surprised if they're removed entirely. The mentions of child sacrifices could still be a thing, but them being chased down by paladins in gen 2 will surely cause outrage in Twitter, which is most of 3H fans that now make up half of the fanbase.

R1IEvH3.png

Unlike Anon, I'm not interested in the death of children.

Nikita with the axe is often the best strat given the low accuracy of these lance users, which there are many of.

But when is it not like that in FE?

t5QnrfE.png

The more I can spread them out, the easier it will be for me to think less about the odds of survival.

GQEIhtD.png

Great lance? More like Gay lance.

You might think I'm using gay as an insult. I'm pointing out that Nikita is too straight to be touched by homosexual urges, or even the concept of it. You might now think I'm using pure straightness as a compliment, demeaning homosexuality. I am. It is now an insult again.

Bad news. I forgot dialogue. Good news. It was just Giling being literally me.

He beats Kent in the fight, but he still living. Now he's moving back to finish off what's left of the town, aka us. Word's been getting around that the Black Dragon unit are getting scorched by an actual dragon, diminishing the 2nd half of their title. He's hoping that I'll actually prove to be more than a trifle to him. I am given ample prep time for his arrival, something appreciated by me, and hated by super elitists, or the average Mekkah fan. I remember old videos where Mekkah insisted that he isn't actually an elitist, and now Excel's recent vid essentially depicts his type as the most extreme scale of elitist. We're on whichever scale is the most awesome.

True, but most people are also wrong.

I think Franciscans have historically disliked the pope. Honestly, lots of people have, historically, disliked the pope, but modern people are drowning in secular indifference.

I mean, I don't care much. I'm not religious. Far as I'm concerned people can worship whatever god they like, as long as they don't try to manipulate other people into doing the same.

Or, you know. Kill people for not worshipping the same god as them. That's bad too.

You don't miss much. People look bad except for like, three or four characters. Frankly, I don't care. I find that my standards for FE at this point are pretty low. If I wanted true quality of narrative, characters or whatever, I'd go elsewhere. From this series I just want nice, fun gameplays.

She's got a headband similar to Saya. She could easily be the protagonist, but I might have to kill Dorcas. At least Eliwood was sick. We can't have a leader with their dad following around. That's why The Last Promise completely disregarded Shon's existence, making the father the lord.

Seriously, I still will not forgive Blazer for doing nothing with Shon in the lategame.

I love TLP as much as the next guy, but he undeniably dropped the ball with Shon. Everyone's said it at this point: All he had to do was let Shon be in the final battle and it would've been perfect, but he had some kind of moral quandary with Shon killing his own dad... despite the circumstances. So instead Shon's just a waste of a character. Oof.

Feeler's destroying though, so he'll level up regardless. 

He finally has enough res and HPs to survive a Zenon strike at base, and the stone's +5 res means he canonically tanks Lyon's Naglfar. All he needs now is 3 more speed to avoid being doubled from Zenon's nimble fingers being the keyboard warrior he is.

You know, like those whackjobs that claim morality cannot exist without religion, because how could you possibly be a good, empathetic person unless you are coaxed into it by the threat of Hell? That's simultaneously saying "if you don't believe what I do you're evil" and "I don't give a fuck about other people, only reason I'm not evil is fear". It ends up speaking more poorly of the person making the argument than the other guy. Or the old "if you don't believe what I do you'll suffer for all eternity."

Just, folks trying to threaten or shame others into sharing their beliefs. There's a lot of religions, not to mention the lack thereof. Let people believe whatever they want. Again, as long as it's not actively harmful to others. One's freedom ends where another's begins.

You know those people who get mad at t-bagging in games because they think it's the equivalent of sexually assaulting them IRL. It's unfortunately a very real take by some people. Perhaps Blazer feels that writing a fictional son killing their dad leaves an implication that he desires to murder his own father. Or maybe he got so edgy making Kelik and Tekun that he did want to do that from the overflowing etherium in his veins, and toning down the edge was an attempt to save both his dad and himself.

Arel, what the f**k are you talking about?

Preparations:

7DgJdpG.png

No arman this time. I need Dorcas back before he falls off. Emmy needs this.

MEmatK1.png

Finally. Trataiwan.

pZT1FzX.png

Fuck you Trataiwan.

No skill. No magic. THE TWO THINGS I WANT MOST!

The one major boost is her speed. I've far reached past the point her her "high" base speed meant anything. Given that flux weighed her down by 4, she only has 14, which doubles nobody this far in. That's Sieks' speed. Now, she got 4 points worth of it from the con buff, meaning she has 18 at most. This is barely enough to double some enemies. That would mean something, but her 10 magic makes her not any stronger than one sergei hit, or any more accurate either. She's usually much worse AND Sergei at least has aircalibur to oneshot fliers.

S535bSJ.png

Trataiwan has 4 speed with this.

4

Sergei with a fire tome deals the same damage. Ruben, you've ruined science, and me.

dGSQiYp.png

amEc3BZ.png

Speaking of Ruben, here's Bruno. Funny old man. Honestly rather underwhelming. Being a level 8 general, it's very easy to compare him to Douglas, who both share the same defense stat, but unlike Douglas, Bruno has no A ranks or competent strength to pack any punches to his counters. He also has much less HP, so he can only tank so many hits at this part of the game. His main advantage is his somewhat decent res and speed, for armor standards. Only fast classes will double him, and they typically will only deal 3 to 4 times 2, reduced depending on the WTA. You can argue that this rando from Caelin being stronger than Douglas wouldn't make much sense, but if I made this guy, I'd at least give him A lances with 18 strength and 40 HP. He'd have 1 less strength and somewhat lower HP, but his high speed and res make up for it. He does supposedly have "masterful skills" after all. 

I'd probably say C tier in an unironic sense, imagining that not many would have a use for him by now. As much as I love shilling armors, I reckon that people will want units that can dish out more damage to the opponent that tank somewhat better than the average unit, and if you really wanted defense, you woulda gone for Feeler. I will give him B though. B for Beard.

I do want me some killer bows. Honestly, I want silvers too, but they're so expensive, and killers require less rank (can be used by my warriors and hopefully Saya soon). As much as I need more of everything, I of course blow my funds on killer bows, which is the Binding Blade experience.

Crap. I forgot that buying wastes your whole action. I thought I could buy then dance, but the pills aren't working as much as I had hoped.

The basic babies are a non issue. Camilla might get shot, but that's what she gets for not staying strapped.

Turn 3: Stop Demanding Respect Without Earning It

mznUrkq.png

as Dorcas made his way towards the enemy camp, he was swarmed by a crowd of FE fans. They clearly didn't take a shower recently.

"You're that mutton man!"

"What happened to Dorcas!? Haha! That's you, isn't it!?"

"Yoooo!"

"Say the line Dorcas!"

"Fire Emblem. Trust nobody."

Camilla just keeps making mistakes. Now she can't dance Nikita. I'm blaming it on the unit, not me the tactician. How does a professional dancer not have swifter legs for increased movement?

Well it can't be dragons, and romhacks like these aren't new enough to throw in completely new classes and gimmick creatures/soldiers, so it's probably the Kishuna spell.

owztqrr.png

If I had prepared better, I could've just had Otto warp in Feeler and destroy this guy for the ultimate LTC, but I've clearly made enemies out of them, so maybe I'll go for the simpler rout of missing hits on the boss for several turns.

FKfMAwI.png

That means nothing to you, you lazy goat. Join my team already.

Turn 5: I Guess You Could Call Her...

CJ3QHtx.png

It's not even a unique character. The baddies just have several of these, apparently. Now Kishuna is suddenly less special. I still feel special because I've literally never seen another person shill Cord, despite him being unironically good. I won't feel sad if he becomes popular because I'll still find specialness in being an FE fan with a sense of humor.

CA2uoVB.png

Before Anon brings up that we're all special in the eyes of God, let me bring up that morphs do not count. I will count this thing as one, and I'll also throw in Trachinaiwan.

IElfwrD.png

Unlucky!

iGYdbtd.png

nimn6js.png

At last. Ban2, the funky sequel.

30 might. 2 shots the fattest of men. Luckier than me for not getting banned yet. Enough health and defense to tank 2 50 might physical hits (hypothetical Feeler vs Iduun). The one thing that is missing is 20 speed, enough to not get doubled by Zenon. One more speedwing. Hand it over AnonymousSpeed.

wF16v5B.png

YIJGZim.png

After killing the warrior, I had Feeler send the iron rune back to the convoy, so that Arel can retrieve it to trade onto Saya, thereby allowing her to face off against the swift swordmaster without critical interference.

How the f**k did the iron rune teleport up to him?

qpQBaB8.png

All of the armor units have killer lances, but Feeler takes no damage from them, so I'm in the clear.

gNSa4Rm.png

Luck is on my side once again. Tis the season to push my luck.

Turn 6: THE FIRE EMBLEM

W3HtAKE.png

When the angel is heartless.

mfwcTql.png

Kishuna's most annoying trait was having ludicrous dodge through absurd speed and a lack of anything weighing him down. This would be tolerable, given how Binding Blade fans have a fetish for this, but he leaves after one turn when you attack him, meaning your odds of success are entirely up to luck, at least on the first map he's in. Then you kill him after abusing save states and realize that you still don't get the gaiden chapter because you didn't play Lyn mode and have Nills slave away at the flute 70 times. Then you remember that you're doing all of this so Nergal can have a handful of added dialogue that is mistranslated and makes no sense whatsoever. 

BoAWzmq.png

Dorcas will be fine. Feeler will be fine. Saya might be in trouble, but she really needs a trial to overcome.

KSf01Tz.png

Ah nah, she fine.

HqaiCab.png

Why are people so snarky? I ask for strength and then you just give me it in the worst form. I'd never do that.

reul2Hw.png

Me to Santa deniers.

Turn 7: FE12 Chapter 19

csW7NaZ.png

Fun fact: I actually beat the FE12 PMU. I did chapter 19. I fought Nerring. The game is over. I never said I was gonna do the post game. 

rWKr4MC.png

So much for their secret weapon.

gIds5m3.png

Binding Bartre vibes.

NvC9Fi7.png

O2IyInh.png

Saya can take one valkyrie game and a horse. She loves horses.

6l1NZyT.png

The archers try to punish me, but they chose the worst person to try that on. In their defense, Sieks and Feeler wouldn't feel a thing, but Saya might've died if she was hit with the other 2 horses. They didn't like their odds with Saya and her trees. 

KK7AEPd.png

Well nevermind. They're all going for Feeler. He takes no damage. Nimrods! What are you accomplishing? You could actually hurt Dorcas. You're kidding me.

They're that cowardly, that they'll take doing literally nothing over taking any damage. I hate that in games. That's arguably one of the great things of modern FE. I rarely see that happen. A huge shame SoV kept the French AI of Gaiden. 2nd biggest turnoff of the game.

Turn 8: My Rants Are Something To Cherish

4Rv11p2.png

Oh great. Strong enemies. I don't have enough on my plate. You're twisting my nuts right before the big bust. I'm so close, the boss is right there, but they're clearly trying to get me to retreat and wait them out.

3HdiFYS.png

At least Saya can do something. She loves horses.

WvuQX8s.png

p6Zu4aa.png

Math is power, but I don't want to calculate these guys for every possible outcome.

5SALxSg.png

TlxIoEL.png

I decide that the best strat is to abandon doing the math for any possible outcome and to ignore the potential harm of unpromoted enemies. You can't let the little things get to you. It's an important lesson. With the great bow guy gone, most others are trifles with mere steel weapons that barely harm any of my units at the center field, and their accuracies tend to be hot garbage anyways. There's just too many of them to try taking out all at once, and the yellows are hard to hit. In other words, this is a combination of FE6 gameplay and FE7, which almost explains why people don't like the Sacae route.

czkPLLJ.png

Unfortunately, I am forced to retreat with a good chunk of units. They're too frail, and the amount of time it would take for them to go across the forest gives the nomads ample time to snipe me to death. I'm forced to use the rescue staff on Camilla with some Arel trade stuff, and Emmy begins to kick a man off his horse. 

l45MFvQ.png

For those who are curious, they have about 22 speed with 18-19 might and one silver and one steel weapon, potentially possessing over 30 attack. They deal extreme damage and could easily kill my units if teaming up with the sapling Sacaeans.

87TgwFa.png

Luckily they're terrible at communication due to the grass they inhale clouding their train of thought.

Turn 9: TLP Lookin Real Good Right About Now

F1ndtku.png

Even more enemies. Splendid. Simply delicious.

nalFbfJ.png

8B1HM2O.png

jtSTF60.png

With them out of the way, the others will be easy pickings.

eTBCqhv.png

Father and Daughter. How do I not have a single support for them? Some bonuses would be greatly appreciated here. I could ask Anon to translate the conversation.

xj7r5Fa.png

I feel healed when complimented. That needs to be normalized. 

Praising me, specifically. You should do that more.

kkYGQpj.png

Whoops. Didn't mean to get your attention. Really, long bows are a terrible idea. You're just setting up for an easy boss kill.

Turn 10: I Lost A Lot Of Brave Sword Uses

vGJWiTm.png

Son of a bitch.

Now I'm mad. It's the one good thing about censoring texted curses. I can emphasize when I'm actually pissed. It sure won't help as an excuse anymore for if a mod sees the vulgarity of my posts. Now I mainly do it to not give Anon a heart attack. Poor frail fellow. He's been through so much. Red pilled Reddit. 

wFLpUND.png

Dorcas and Nikita tag team the foreigner to get his silvers onto my possession through Sieks.

5zeGEqc.png

Hey Ruben, is this happy Sieks gaming or L + fell off? 

jXvF57g.png

UzCF5DY.png

Emmy's defense is more than high enough for me to literally turn off my brain if she fights anyone who isn't a promoted unit.

p8YJJ78.png

This would be all that Ruben sees if he saw a strong woman. They only have a habit of stepping on your corpse.

Turn 11: These LP's Are Made Possible By Comedy Podcasts

aWG6WYQ.png

No more reinforcements. I can win now. Good thing too. My computer's about to run out of battery.

bm1AQcd.png

SXHJt4e.png

I thought this would've been harder, but I have killed Gel with a hand axe before, so maybe I've just gotten better at murdering native lands. It's all I could hear about when wishing people Thanksgiving. Be happy dammit. I just want to be thankful and eat food.

JC0wBoH.png

Igmd7Z7.png

Why is she the MVP of the run? I don't think she's supposed to be busted, or is she? What are her growths? She's an early game merc so her ranking is heavily dependent on that. I mean, I'll take it, her being the daughter of the mighty Dorcas.

That's it. She has gen 2 growths. It's gotta be that. That doesn't explain why Fir has like 20% strength. Bartre didn't curse himself with Armads for this.

Turn 12: I Really Wanna Get To Finishing FE12 Before 2023

Sz5qTxY.png

Well with the map basically cleared, let's just raid this house, for the heck of it. What kind of dialogue does a romhack feature? TLP had this funny stupid one about a woman who kept moving houses.

4LBkxFc.png

FE9 maniac devs disagree.

xmkcxys.png

UTTyfB1.png

Huh!?

Since when do one tile houses give you stuff!? Thracia. I guess because I'm in Sacae...did I miss these the whole time?

Well I guess I gotta enter the rest now.

0qcEU83.png

3P6i4I6.png

Mother Nature's an archer? I guess those fairy tale dudes living in forests usually use them. I respect that. It's basically nature's glock . They stay strapped, but apparently that's morally wrong as opposed to knives, a more personal and brutal way to harm someone, and pointlessly less effective.

uWpx1fV.png

No way I'm reaching that in one turn. Damn. Guess I'll have to lose one more turn. Hope it's worth it.

I tried seeing if warp would work. Otto's magic isn't big enough to accomplish much, but you knew that already, right?

Turn 13: How Far Til Endgame BTW?

xxq9xWc.png

Killed a goomba and realized that I had single digit luck this far in the game. What happened in this guy's past?

2bLosv4.png

Words words words, who cares.

0XUcvRW.png

Whether this is a good item heavily depends on the next few bosses.

rQ7Ogx6.png

 B5vlOSf.png

Might have spent some time dilly dallying, but at least I can say I routed the enemy and raided a camp. 

Pretty mid map. Oddly easy, but then they randomly throw in those 4 Oblivion DLC horse armor tryhards with absurd speed and silvers that just annoy me with how hard it is to get a hit on them while surrounded by grassheads who'll punish you for bad rng. I would comment on the magic barrier, but that was mostly a nothing burger. I ate holographic meatloaf, then got slapped with the bill. I have an annoyance with enemies appearing near the throne, since it feels like the game is preventing me from seizing the throne and prolonging the map, something I hate about ch 11B in FE6. It mainly works to me if it spawns in a sense that it's rushing you to seize before you're swarmed, something mainly done in Conquest and arguably FE12 chapter 19. 5.5/10. To some people,  that's an abysmal number, but 5/10 is statistically an average rating. Education simply expects you to exceed the average level of knowledge for a subject you probably will never use and/or will forget immediately.

He's one of the few ones I do remember given his Christmas cav status and early join time. As much as I don't like FE7, playing Lyn mode as an inexperienced young teen made the early gang very difficult to forget. It made me fall for archers, aka Will. 

The thing is, I never even cared for Kent, even back when this was my only FE.

It's unfortunately something I'm forcing myself to come to terms with. It's hard for me to imagine it being anything else at this point, and I can only pray for it to be prolonged for so long before it becomes greed. 

What will I have to say though? Game bad? I see the remake as something that cannot be fixed or even worse, as assuming that the core elements of the game are left as is, the game will be impossible to enjoy even with QoL or debatably improved graphics. 

It has been inevitable since the leak with the "unbelievable" toothpaste-chan screenshots proved to be real. Literally every part of that leak turned out to be true. You know what that leak also included? FE4 remake.

As for me, I know what I have to say: Skip. I saw all I needed to see in my one FE4 run. I trained Arden. I killed off the entirety of Gen 1 to get substitutes, with the exception of Arden, his spouse and the one other couple whose substitutes would be better than the children. I killed Arvis with Hannibal. What enjoyment could I possibly get out of another run, remake or no?

We've discussed this privately, but I will mention here that most companions are beloved, as well as other DLC characters like Ulysses. I guess Ruben's saying they all suck.

Oh no, I've no problems with the companions. I helped Cass with her bonkers revenge plan. I stood no chance against the weapon shop's folks, so I became invisible, threw a bunch of mines around while they stood still doing nothing and blew them all up. I also put the brain of a mentally unwell dog in my own dog's head. And Arcade was around for a while. I don't think I bothered with any others.

In fact, I'm fairly certain I missed one in the Mojave. Mostly because I spent like two hours in the Mojave before I found the Deathclaw territory that's supposed to deter you from going to the Strip early. I proceeded to make it to the Strip early by staying on top of hills, which was enough to confuse the Deathclaws' awful AI. And then I think the only time I returned to the Mojave was to get Cass.

Speaking of Ruben, here's Bruno. Funny old man. Honestly rather underwhelming. Being a level 8 general, it's very easy to compare him to Douglas, who both share the same defense stat, but unlike Douglas, Bruno has no A ranks or competent strength to pack any punches to his counters. He also has much less HP, so he can only tank so many hits at this part of the game. His main advantage is his somewhat decent res and speed, for armor standards. Only fast classes will double him, and they typically will only deal 3 to 4 times 2, reduced depending on the WTA. You can argue that this rando from Caelin being stronger than Douglas wouldn't make much sense, but if I made this guy, I'd at least give him A lances with 18 strength and 40 HP. He'd have 1 less strength and somewhat lower HP, but his high speed and res make up for it. He does supposedly have "masterful skills" after all. 

I'd probably say C tier in an unironic sense, imagining that not many would have a use for him by now. As much as I love shilling armors, I reckon that people will want units that can dish out more damage to the opponent that tank somewhat better than the average unit, and if you really wanted defense, you woulda gone for Feeler. I will give him B though. B for Beard.

Having unironically used him, he has enough speed, res and defense to make for a pretty decent wall.

He's not all that memorable, but his beard stat is through the roof, so you must use him.

Renightnight has bad memories of Kishuna gaming, someone he could never interact with, as his anti magic barrier prevents Renault from fighting him on the one Kishuna chapter Renault's available in. 

They 100% would've had a battle convo, considering the implications, but IntSys is dumb so instead you stand in front of the Dragon for 100 turns so you can get a bit more lore out of him.

Might have spent some time dilly dallying, but at least I can say I routed the enemy and raided a camp. 

Pretty mid map. Oddly easy, but then they randomly throw in those 4 Oblivion DLC horse armor tryhards with absurd speed and silvers that just annoy me with how hard it is to get a hit on them while surrounded by grassheads who'll punish you for bad rng. I would comment on the magic barrier, but that was mostly a nothing burger. I ate holographic meatloaf, then got slapped with the bill. I have an annoyance with enemies appearing near the throne, since it feels like the game is preventing me from seizing the throne and prolonging the map, something I hate about ch 11B in FE6. It mainly works to me if it spawns in a sense that it's rushing you to seize before you're swarmed, something mainly done in Conquest and arguably FE12 chapter 19. 5.5/10. To some people,  that's an abysmal number, but 5/10 is statistically an average rating. Education simply expects you to exceed the average level of knowledge for a subject you probably will never use and/or will forget immediately.

Pretty sure it's meant to be an easy peace-before-the-storm kinda map.

Games like FE4 suffer from little replayability. This is just what happens when you have a small cast on a game that's supposedly centered around the story. What's next after a run? Typically, you do one run with the usual crew, a generic run, and now you've already exhausted most options. The only real customization are the pairing builds for gen 2, like who gets Forsetti or vantage + wrath tini or something. You still have the first gen's extreme linear design, and gen 2 is mostly pointless with builds when you're probably just going to spam legendries anyways because who wants to do the math for 12 wyverns flying at you. I like large casts, and it's genuinely one of my favorite things about FE6, and of course it's precious on FE12 to justify my 10 runs on the game. FE10's the oddball where you have a large cast, but you only have the freedom of choosing among them for endgame and most of part 4 to an extent (most just solo with Ike, Tibarn, and Naesala/Skirmir).

I'd also be shooting myself because I can't befriend her given Mr. House's demand to destroy the Brotherhood of Steel, but I'm already too far deep in being based.

Maybe...this is how he feels. Just trying to find joy slaughtering hundreds, getting bored of prey that doesn't fight back enough. Without a reason to go all out, there is no joy in accomplishments. He sometimes finds pleasure in slaughtering random civilians, and then there's me. I blow up New Vegas npc's because it's funny. Then I reload and do it again. Then I seek therapy.

I watched my bro beat FE7 endgame recently. It was bizarre seeing the longbow have 100 hit. You'd think that make me appreciate FE7's hits a little more, but I can shill FE12's longbow instead. It's so satisfying to avoid the 5 billion might glower mages surrounded by fire dragons, especially on reverse lunatic, and all with good accuracy, unless you're my FE12 Samto. Sweet mother of the Lord, he has no skill, which is what you'd expect from the man who lives by the glock. It does all the work for him.

O0t5hRr.png

Similar to Bartre, I primarily use him for bows, but this is an FE7 based game, so I'm pretty sure I only get to S rank one thing. Then again, I'm starting to think this game has no legendries, which is quite sad. Or maybe it'll reference FE7 by using that game's legendries on endgame similar to how that game handles it, which is equally as sad.

Turn 4: Sorry I'm Busy Petting A Kitten

There's no rhyme or reason to this. The heck is this placement? I don't care if you're trying to hug the wall. At least have 3 fliers to the right for symmetry! You're making me angry!

Okay, there is one more flier, but that makes it worse. The spacing's all...wrong! And there's nothing accompanying the eastern flier. It's making me feel bad for them. Do me a favor and have 2 cavs on the left and 2 on the right. You're making me think I have OCD. That can't be right. The only thing I C are Deez nuts in ya mouth.

By now, I've reached the point where there's nothing past the current wave to worry about. If I just destroy each wave as they come, the map's sealed in the bag.

The main reason killer bows do so well is the reduced con. With that strength, great speed, and decent skill, she'll make for a great sniper. Ironic that her class is called blade lord. I'm pretty sure even IS retconned that and acknowledges Lyn as the bow one, only her game is the worst one to be good at bows in.

Some would be aroused by the opportunity be surrounded by 5 Lyn-like women. The dying part is either a turn off they don't acknowledge or the best part of it.

I wouldn't mind being surrounded by 5 Gim's. I can't die because I'm already dead.

I should probably give him the strength thingy. Feeler already has the perfect 30. Erica could benefit, but I still feel sad that a warrior like Gim is being let down by his own muscles. They're worn out from carrying the team.

Arel handed over a heavy spear, which I barely remembered existed. They must've made it in FE7 after seeing how easily Bors breaks Binding Blade.

gqLflhO.png

The main thing about this map is that it's pretty easy to get through without losing units since a lot of enemies will just ignore you. That's good here since this would otherwise be a very annoying case of FE4 gaming where I can't really get any of my frail units close. It's an interesting idea. A pack of slow tanks inching it's way to the end and you have to break the unit before they overwhelm you at the bottom. In execution, it's pretty simple to just destroy them and not worry of dying, although I am already at the top with nothing else to worry about, and I appreciate the player phase incentive.

That's sweet. Now give me something to enjoy.

That was a bit harsh. I'm having fun, moderately so, most of the time. The maps are just falling off a bit as of late imo. Maybe they'll pull it back for a grand finale, except it won't be because I know they're saving Zenon for the end, and he's almost definitely going to summon some evil Negal demon dragon garbage. Oh no...

Map was mid. Some fun strategizing over the whole "enemy is running down" concept, but the execution was somewhat barebones to me. With a whopping 15 units, you'd expect there to be more to work with than "north", since why would you just wait south the entire time? 5/10. Map itself is 2.5/10 but I had enough fun to double the value. It wasn't a bad experience. Just somewhat boring as it went on.

You know, like those whackjobs that claim morality cannot exist without religion, because how could you possibly be a good, empathetic person unless you are coaxed into it by the threat of Hell? That's simultaneously saying "if you don't believe what I do you're evil" and "I don't give a fuck about other people, only reason I'm not evil is fear". It ends up speaking more poorly of the person making the argument than the other guy. Or the old "if you don't believe what I do you'll suffer for all eternity."

Just, folks trying to threaten or shame others into sharing their beliefs. There's a lot of religions, not to mention the lack thereof. Let people believe whatever they want. Again, as long as it's not actively harmful to others. One's freedom ends where another's begins.

Penn Jillette, an atheist: “I’ve always said that I don’t respect people who don’t proselytize. I don’t respect that at all. If you believe that there’s a heaven and a hell, and people could be going to hell or not getting eternal life, and you think that it’s not really worth telling them this because it would make it socially awkward—and atheists who think people shouldn’t proselytize and who say just leave me along and keep your religion to yourself—how much do you have to hate somebody to not proselytize? How much do you have to hate somebody to believe everlasting life is possible and not tell them that? I mean, if I believed, beyond the shadow of a doubt, that a truck was coming at you, and you didn’t believe that truck was bearing down on you, there is a certain point where I tackle you. And this is more important than that.”

Yes, Penn Jillette.

Kishuna's most annoying trait was having ludicrous dodge through absurd speed and a lack of anything weighing him down. This would be tolerable, given how Binding Blade fans have a fetish for this, but he leaves after one turn when you attack him, meaning your odds of success are entirely up to luck, at least on the first map he's in. Then you kill him after abusing save states and realize that you still don't get the gaiden chapter because you didn't play Lyn mode and have Nills slave away at the flute 70 times. Then you remember that you're doing all of this so Nergal can have a handful of added dialogue that is mistranslated and makes no sense whatsoever.

Hey, we don't take all the credit. I've heard plenty of Americans mocking their country.

The main thing about this map is that it's pretty easy to get through without losing units since a lot of enemies will just ignore you. That's good here since this would otherwise be a very annoying case of FE4 gaming where I can't really get any of my frail units close. It's an interesting idea. A pack of slow tanks inching it's way to the end and you have to break the unit before they overwhelm you at the bottom. In execution, it's pretty simple to just destroy them and not worry of dying, although I am already at the top with nothing else to worry about, and I appreciate the player phase incentive.

Yeah, the problem here is there's not enough bodyguards to keep these guys safe.

I did like this guy's portrait and palette even before I played Berwick.

Okay fine. You're redeemed. At least you're better than Norne. Remember her? Sheema was doing better in chapter 19. Immuabicus was slightly salty over the bias, but he doesn't realize that's it's called being awesome.

Then there's that one Norne that me and Ruben saw pop off hard. Linde and Catria were hot garbage though. How does that happen?

While this won't do any favors for my reputation, I did actually have an idea for a future iteration on the capture mechanic where you could ransom off prisoners for money. In such a system, selling regular units for gold could make for some interesting strategist trade-offs.

Is this being done under the assumption that your army aren't just le good guys?

Most people would let the state/country/kingdom deal with war affairs with whatever regulations they deem necessary, until they're placed in concentration camps. FE characters just kill every last one of them.

No. That's the weird part. I was certain that they were just houses, but apparently they all have items.

They probably should've stated this in some form, but at least we know now. I'm a pioneer.

Kinda depends on whether 1 or 0 is the minimum score and what the distribution of scores is.

It tends to be 1, but who wants to say that 5.5 is the average. 3 outta 5 stars is the average since 1 star is the lowest. Of course, people will give 5 stars to anything nowadays, so the fact that PokeSpain is only 3 stars on Amazon is extremely concerning, considering the outlier that is the Nintendrone hivemind 5 star'ing it before the game even comes out. I still go for 5/10 meaning mid. 6/10 is like alright and 7/10 is good. 8 is great, and 9 or 10 is calling it a masterpiece. It disgusts me to think 7/10 is considering okay just because that's how schools condition you to think, so doing more than better is still shamed upon because you're not a master of remembering 7 different yearly subjects. Yeah, you obviously want to be more than average to qualify for jobs, but I'm just tryna get by. In games, duh. 5/10 is average, but why would you buy an average game? You want it to be good. In this case, 7/10 is probably the minimum you'd settle for.

Me? Bully the Four Kings? Never. I actually like that hack. It's notorious for being unforgivingly hard, and I like that. Who doesn't want an early brave weapon to pick out which enemies to one shot before they one shot you because they also have short bows.

The red text is funny, but I suppose a lot of people need the clarification because not knowing ahead of time is like playing 3 Houses without the divine pulses. Four Kings does have the funny save circles of DSFE though, so you don't need to worry about save sate abusing to make the game not anxiety inducing.

It's a map concept Conquest probably couldn't done a lot more with. I think it's kinda limited by the need to account for weaker teams (so a good team never really stretches its resources), which never games just uh...don't.

A third of my team is busted. The rest are questionable, although Yaraf has gone crazy as of late.

I'd still say that most of my FE6 teams were way stronger than this, but a lot of that probably comes from the nonexistent promo bonuses. I think my team is balanced out. The average player probably has at least one busted flier, 3 cavs, and a moderately decent flier. They're probably also using at least one underaged fast mage. Feeler's broken, and Emmy solos, but there's plenty of people in my team who can't double, and Erica struggles to kill without crits and is very fragile. But I get the idea that they can't go all out with the lategame. That's always been a problem with FE in general, and I know people have complained that a lot of their team just falls off in TLP when the enemies suddenly require capped units to stand a good chance against them. I had a capped strength Althares who fell off cuz 20 strength is nothing at that point and most enemies were adamant lance using halberdiers with 50 HP.

I'm pretty sure the Djute just suck. They're weaker than some enemies before chapter 20, but they love going in numbers, which reminds me of FE7. In a sense, they're still similar to FE6 hard, as the nomads with steel bows do about 21, the average might of an FE6 hard nomad in the Sacae rout, although those people usually had short bows and were faster, although I prefer them not dodging as much here. The golden ones are still very troublesome though.

Four Kings also makes you LOVE longbows. Anything that doesn't make you get countered is great, because you'll probably die in that single hit.

sQMaK0x.png

Erica is also dodgy. I have Fritz if she dies anyways.

TkBrF7l.png

Southern reinforcements are probably not an issue. The druid might be.

x4TPe7u.png

Here's the second reason why Gim is usually safe. And Erica. They ALWAYS go for the person who can't fight back, despite the fact that they can't hurt him, and Erica could easily die with some luck on their side. Use your brain! Imbeciles!

QauLK7t.png

This guy could be a problem.

xBCwYf9.png

Nope. He just wanted some quiet, and like the Grinch, he failed. Sure, the Grinch briefly won, but after feeling God's burning love for him despite his selfish arrogance, he felt that he had insulted Him after letting sins get to him and cause ruin for the who's of Susvile. He let Jesus into his heart, letting it grow 3 times as large, and he became a good guy and celebrated Jesus's birthday with everyone else.

Another mid map. I missed a decent chunk of the map's purpose I'm pretty sure, but my ability to do that is somewhat funny and enjoyable. I'm rewarded for my efforts through having to take less screenshots and do a fast post again. Man, I'm on a roll! Feeling good!

The map wasn't good though because the design still reminds me too much of an FE4 map. 5/10.

This man sounds like he's mocking a Berwick fan, which he should be.

Let's be real. If I ever get something that can run Berwick, I probably won't like it and you know it. I only like FE, and Berwick is the one game that plays differently. I'm better off shilling Vestaria 2, supposedly. I'd try out TearRing, but I'm concerned over the large chapter list and words words words. 

Congrats Ruben. I will kill Trachina before the game is over.

It's one thing to do that, it's another to tell a person that they're straight up evil for not sharing the faith.

But I think enough's been said on that topic.

Actually I have realized it is not, because I do not hate you that much.

Obviously that bothers you, so "evil" must mean something to you. What would that be?

All right, I'll bite. Life is short and if I make that short time more painful for someone by deliberately hurting them, then I'm evil. I don't need to believe there's a threat of Hell or the judgment of a higher being to push me into not hurting others, because just as I don't like being hurt myself, I don't like the idea of hurting others. So I'd rather not. Obviously it's a complex matter, but that's a decent short version, I'd say.

I'm also, just in case it wasn't clear enough, not saying people shouldn't be religious. Faith can be a good thing, and if you genuinely believe, that's perfectly fine. You can also tell me why you think I should believe as well. That's okay. The only thing I'm, and have been, saying is that you shouldn't try to guilt-trip me into it with disingenuous arguments about morality - which, to be clear, is not what I think you've been doing. This whole thing started with me answering a question, nothing more.

That's about it. I respect your opinions and beliefs. Nothing more to it. Let's go back to bullying Shaky.

In case anyone was wondering, I am well aware that I didn't enter the secret shop last chapter. I knew of it from checking the guide that either Anon or Ruben posted. Checked it last chapter because I recall that number being mentioned, then I used the silly critical f thing to check "secret". Turns out that shop didn't have s**t, so I ignored it.

I should probably put Cord in my sig, but who do I kick out? Serra was literally the only good part of FE7, I feel like she deserves it.

She really doesn't. It's Serra. Even I like Yumina more, and I'm the one using Otto.

I also feel like the green just doesn't mesh well with the blue and orange on your sig. Like at least Conquest and New mystery are games you love. Serra will be that odd outlier and her stats aren't nearly as flashy as the others. Matthis only has 2 greens but it's FE11, and Haitaka is Haitaka. Capping luck is pretty normal for healers, and so is luck usually. Her main crazy stat is magic, considering that she starts with 2, which is still higher than Elen's 1. This isn't to downplay your Serra. It's still cool that you capped like that, and GBA healers do level up slowly, but didn't you promote FE1 Wrys? That in itself is 50 times more impressive! Show off your FE1 run! You played that far better than most of us. Even my FE1 run was mostly generic, since I just wanted the game done with. Come one. Show the Cord. They killed Medeus. Pwease?

The map is extremely simplistic. It's basically one giant hall in the center full of enemies where you begin attacking from both sides. There's 2 empty left and right halls, so there are presumably reinforcements that will hit you from behind. After all, there's seemingly no stairs where enemies can spawn from within, and what kind of FE map only gives you the enemies in front of you to strategize over? I love last minute changes.

What's not simple are the enemies themselves.

Apparently, everyone but Gim is a weak little s**t, because only he carry him from Nikita's horse to escape the armor. Danced him to chip the guy, but crits never work unless I'm not planning on it happening. Nikita was positioned in front of armor man #3 with an armorslayer, and I'm already sick of typing armor.

Turn 2: Average POR Maniac Map

i9jAACD.png

I have made 2 great discoveries. The first one is that there's two siege tome users in a room cluttered with smelly gamers, so that's just great. The second one is the reminder that most siege tome users in a lot of FE games usually don't move. You'll notice that a lot in FE6 with 16x or 14x, and I think most Thracia ones don't move either. Same goes for this hack, but I forget most things that my lil brain doesn't consider to be crucial. I only remember stuff like Soyface Gharnef and the heroes of chapter 16 of New mystery on maniac mode randomizing with either 22 or 23 speed. That is annoying. RNG determines whether your hero/falcon can double then with their 26 cap. Either you take the possible L or just restart the game until you get mostly 22's, which I can't tell if that's scummy or smart.

zIasWYj.png

With Gim and Erica having 20+ skill, having 70s hit with a killer bow saddens me, yet I keep landing the criticals with them, so I will continue to believe in bow supremacy.

AoRWilP.png

LrhXaox.png

I'll save that general for later. This chapter made me realize that I really should've bought hammers. Normally, you'd use sages, but Sergei somehow fails to double armors. He's that slow. 

Trachina also fails to double...21 speed

tM5BuPS.png

We do a bit of trading.

Z0nKxdL.png

Nikita gets healed a lot in this chapter. Obviously I'm not screenshotting every time that happens. You get more than enough Otto moments.

sfPekH4.png

So light brands suck because I only just now found out how they work this turn, for this game. In FE6, they deal 10 damage at range. I don't remember if they're physical or magic damage, but in this game, they always deal magic damage. It's the reason the mercs of this chapter are extremely dangerous. Honestly, they're the hardest part of the chapter, harder than the promoted heroes. 27 magic with 20 speed is rough with my res-less army, but they nerfed the idea of a levin sword that uses physical might to deal magic damage by halving the damage you would do at range, usually becoming a number somewhat close to 10, so it mostly checks out. Honestly, I think this is actually better than the FE6 version, but it's annoying how this is something you'll probably not figure out without looking it up, or spending 5 minutes calculating on turn 2 like I did. This chapter has almost no mages outside of the siege tome users that you could technically wait out if you're a little b****, so these guys serve as the anti Feeler machines, although it's mostly effective on Emmy. Feeler has great res.

9IhAL0m.png

Okay, maybe she was never in any trouble since the beginning.

tCq05Hw.png

It is very easy to bait siege tome enemies.

Turn 3: At Least The Enemy Positioning's Kinda Clever

ETokYEM.png

Killer axes are my second favorite weapon. It's nice that I finally got some for Gim and Dorcas and even Emmy. Nikita and Sieks only have D axes sadly, but Nikita can use killing edges if he wants to, but those are boring.

eSA34Fi.png

NOW I can kill him. 

Dude this guy had 4 weapons, and NONE of them were droppable. Imagine if this was Thracia. 

Z7rLZAS.png

Okay, I'll show it once, but only to show the Arel/Otto cooperation. He gave him a recover, which nobody ever uses. Look at this. It's literally the perfect time to use it. The positioning was all there! I have singlehandedly proved that recover is the best staff in the series! 

h1QdR9A.png

Saya is at her prime right now. She doubles with her iron bow with amazing accuracy which no one else (other than Emmy) comes close to, and the range severely reduced the damage from the merc. I'm going to consider this as intentional design just so I can say that this game is a better Elibe than FE7, where even I can't find a positive to using a bow other than being based, but why would I be using Lyn then?

7cr5Q2V.png

AqUUoxS.png

vcoS5N5.png

No, I don't use archery in Skyrim. It's used by literally everyone, making the contrarian in me use two handed axes. I would like to use a bow IRL but it's hard to find justification to get a bow when I can just stay strapped.

Ourvq54.png

fIuKQva.png

As much as I'd like to clear the map quickly again, I'm finding trouble approaching safely with there still being 2 light brand mercs. With the dragons in the beginning and siege tome pals, I'm pretty sure rushing in on turn 1 is literally impossible. You sure ain't warping to the top, since you ain't solo'ing Giling with even more defense cutting dragons up there. My mistake was not having barrier or a pure water on Emmy. She might've been able to do more then, but for a blind ironman, I say I'm awesome.

Turn 4: Hard To Make Jokes Here

5DAobTZ.png

nlG4Yp7.png

They gone. Should be in the clear from here on out.

Sei0ssR.png

I have another angelic robe. Can't give it to Feeler now. He's got a clean 50 health points. I can't ruin that number. It'd help Saya the most, but that's so un-Shaky Jones-like, and this IS the Shaky Special.

n8Yhgzb.png

viDonop.png

Dude's got a swordslayer, so Emmy and Saya are donion rings. Feeler can easily solo this.

Fun fact: this game has only thrown wyvernslayer enemies on chapter 17, the chapter right after you get Feeler, but never at a single point afterwards.

Dm5aDhF.png

That could've gone better. It basically went the worst way possible, but I'm ready for that. Being ready for anything. I hate it when people call that paranoia.

Even more cheese. Tsas hasn't moved though. I swear, if the game makes me walk up to her...

51EnsRZ.png

Sweet.

q2Czi7O.png

Arman's taking 35 years so let's have Nikita open the other chests.

z7UJPxR.png

Once again, Feeler has a clean 30 might hit, so he no longer needs strength. Yet again, Saya could benefit well from this, but Gim deserves it more. Dude's faster than her AND he's built different.

Qs1rKcs.png

Who?

Turn 7: Last Promise OC

eO55krU.png

Oh it's the Zenon shill. Nice speed. You're faster than Tsas. Honestly, the Sacaens suck. The best of own army aren't even of Saya's tribe. They're Ilian mercs.

4B2Ugrq.png

That's a lot of foreigners. I can't let them through.

Ur7IIyF.png

Look at that dodge. If I actually bothered with supports, she'd be unstoppable.

Wz3SyQb.png

Now I have 2 units with 26 speed. They can both double Gilling, but Ruben knows how the fight will actually end, and he should be giddy.

IXo3ZIy.png

This is a great hint.

Reinforcements are no longer coming from west. Now it's all east. They're just paladins though, so I don't see much of a reason to worry. 

Qliu7ju.png

Saya then fell on her head and cracked her skull. I had to start the ironman all over again. 

Fi03sZ7.png

Counter braves with more braves. I enjoy using braves, but it would be nice if I actually had a legendary to work with. Dorcas is at A+++ bow rank, but the FE7 engine doesn't let him reach S, but I suppose what does it matter when the game is already over by the time you get the super bow? But it's cathartic to see the glowing S on several categories. Jack of all trades, master of all of them. 

Gbp7QsX.png

I will shill this until you die.

4f3dmKS.png

0LeR4ja.png

Most of them have been dealt with. Emmy heals for the troubadours above.

7DDbyds.png

End yaself.

X3eIiIB.png

Most people can survive at least one lightning strike. Emmy could survive two. One man survived 7, which made him the the man with the highest res alive. People wondered what could stop that man if nature clearly couldn't? Turns out the answer was himself. Very depressing. There's a message to be had here, and I think it's that Emmy shouldn't end herself because she's too useful.

We're all useful in our own ways, so tell yourself that you're an Emmy and keep living, even if you know for a fact that's it's a damn lie.

I would say we're all special, but I have protagonist syndrome and refuse to believe that other people are as special as me. Just kidding. I'm special for being the Cord shill. Anon is special for liking a tan battery. Ruben is special for being literally the only person I've ever seen or heard of that dislikes New Vegas.

Turn 9: The Enjoyment Of Life Comes From Removing That Joy From others

qriV0XI.png

For being Nergal's failed experiment, you see these things quite often on the battlefield. How did Bern even get their hands on them?

vCFhHVf.png

She finally moves. You waited for your entire army to die. You dumb bloke! Of course you're screwed. Sacaens use teamwork to overwhelm the enemy! Why didn't you join them? Does your unit mean nothing to you? This isn't honor. It's selfish stupidity! 

GySXKN3.png

Perhaps she saw Saya and blames her for the massacre of her tribe and father.

wOGwNFI.png

Nah, she clearly knows of Feeler, but killing Saya is easier for her.

Turn 10: Got The Dialogue, I Basically Got The Best Of Both Worlds

 WuSmB5X.png

mn3kWeH.png

It is done.

This time I killed you literally in front of Saya's face. Considering Gilling's words of dying from a dragon being one of the most painful ways to die, this will probably scar her for life. Kek. 

iuwPcOm.png

And now we rescue him for Gilling. It wouldn't have been that hard to just rush to Gilling and seize before she reached, but the message was sent. I am content.

They'll be fine, right? Gim will be.

Turn 11: Anon Should Reply To The Last Post, This One Has Nothing Going For It

That's mostly a joke. I'm just a lot more proud of the last post over this one, but I suppose the chapter sucked and so did Anon's idea of countering my calling out of his failure to show a meme in time.

Dyt1r4m.png

There's been a silence man up there I forgot about. Luckily, Sergei has C staves, so I'm good. It's about to break though, so I really need another shop with a restore staff if there's more status boys to go soon, which I know there is since there's at least one more secret shop location.

MiUtTCo.png

Tomas would do way better than this.

g56if0r.png

MWEs5on.png

Tomas probably wouldn't do any better than this.

FSVO8Wv.png

With 3 of the heroes gone (one of them died on enemy phase with Emmy's brave sword), Gilling will be much easier to take on.

FhbxsBY.png

I didn't kill his men with enough style. My bad.

4aP4YYP.png

I forgot that Teucer can double Nikita. My bad, but he double dodged, so I learned nothing and will keep abusing this rng.

DNBawxm.png

Maybe I'd be killing if the ridersbane had might.

Turn 12: This Post Is Mid But It Beats Doing Homework

jbjPnM9.png

No more heroes. The warriors still don't want to move. Time for Gilling Killing.

i26Jqy1.png

Feeler has gotten much stronger since their first encounter. He no longer gets doubled by Gilling, and he's strong enough to 2RKO him. Gilling's stats are notoriously high for a forced moving boss, but he is an armor, so you could use stuff like Mani Kattis or a hammer on an Emmy or Lydia if you're sad. The real struggle is his annoyingly high dodge rate, and somewhat decent crit rate given his capped out speed and luck. Since Feeler cuts through defense AND is extremely accurate, he is unironically your best choice for blacking they dragon. 

What do you mean 19 speed Feeler is unrealistic?

fgXPHSG.png

Although I could have Camilla feel Feeler, it would end terribly if he misses, so I'll have to wait one more turn. Emmy will be fine. Nothing can hit her.

AlKzgZq.png

Right, he has a silver lance. At least he's locked to one range I suppose.

RjtC3pl.png

Oh.

That's pretty bad.

Fb80Y2T.png

Ye

Emmy has mastered to ability to avoid death from warriors as a result from all the training she had with Dorcas. Emmy returns the favor by putting very small traces of poison on his drinks, giving him immunity.

Turn 13: Killing Shilling Gilling

Trachina has shilled her last kill a while ago. She's literally just been a heal bot.

He's been extremely underwhelming too, but he's getting better! 17 speed hasn't been double-ing anyone by now, and 16 strength is underwhelming, but he can still help out with ranged chip damage with somewhat decent accuracy. No, I swear this isn't a cope, he's not bad. The stats are serviceable! They're just nothing compared to Yaraf and Erica.

Turn Teehee's Age of Preference:

The next few turns are distrusted across fighting the remaining paladins while occasional goombas spawn from the bottom. I forget to keep track and listed all them under 13. A lot of it was just generic Nikita and Sieks vs paladins. A lot of brave lance uses and horseslayers with some pillar dodge strats. Nothing notable. My sincere apologies. I never make mistakes like these. If you see a mistake, it's Serenes' fault. Ruben can vouch for that now.

That was a tough map, mostly from the beginning, but Gilling's corner was troubling with their formation and sets of movement. Yes, I'm saying that Tsas was the easy part. Noooo! You were supposed to clear the map BEFORE she catches up! That's the real challenge! They call me Saucy Jones. I sauced Tsas with intoxicating flames of hell. I win.

hnweyhD.png

Bloated stats (old FE fans hate big number). Obvious tryhard. No father figure. I give this unit the ranking of L tier.

The map gets a 6.77. I would give it a 7 for having decently placed enemies, a decent challenge that suits the supposed intensity of the Black Dragon Unit, and the idea of sub-bosses chasing you as you try to overcome the herd of relatable psychopaths is kinda cool, but the map itself is too simple to deserve that much credit. Seizing quickly is obviously tough, so you are rewarded with a blatantly overpowered unit. Obviously, I went out of my way to avoid doing that to ensure that Feeler receives the credit for being the downfall of the Arslan tribe. I'd love to have that kind of record. In fact, I've been too kind to the previous two maps. Reduce their rank by 0.5 points. 

Even if there's someone out there cursing me for not saving a fictional girl, think about it like this. Do you think Ruben would've let me use her over Bruno? Do you think I would've chosen her over Fritz?

She really doesn't. It's Serra. Even I like Yumina more, and I'm the one using Otto.

I also feel like the green just doesn't mesh well with the blue and orange on your sig. Like at least Conquest and New mystery are games you love. Serra will be that odd outlier and her stats aren't nearly as flashy as the others. Matthis only has 2 greens but it's FE11, and Haitaka is Haitaka. Capping luck is pretty normal for healers, and so is luck usually. Her main crazy stat is magic, considering that she starts with 2, which is still higher than Elen's 1. This isn't to downplay your Serra. It's still cool that you capped like that, and GBA healers do level up slowly, but didn't you promote FE1 Wrys? That in itself is 50 times more impressive! Show off your FE1 run! You played that far better than most of us. Even my FE1 run was mostly generic, since I just wanted the game done with. Come one. Show the Cord. They killed Medeus. Pwease?

So light brands suck because I only just now found out how they work this turn, for this game. In FE6, they deal 10 damage at range. I don't remember if they're physical or magic damage, but in this game, they always deal magic damage. It's the reason the mercs of this chapter are extremely dangerous. Honestly, they're the hardest part of the chapter, harder than the promoted heroes. 27 magic with 20 speed is rough with my res-less army, but they nerfed the idea of a levin sword that uses physical might to deal magic damage by halving the damage you would do at range, usually becoming a number somewhat close to 10, so it mostly checks out. Honestly, I think this is actually better than the FE6 version, but it's annoying how this is something you'll probably not figure out without looking it up, or spending 5 minutes calculating on turn 2 like I did. This chapter has almost no mages outside of the siege tome users that you could technically wait out if you're a little b****, so these guys serve as the anti Feeler machines, although it's mostly effective on Emmy. Feeler has great res.

Jesus he almost died... Be more careful, man!

Counter braves with more braves. I enjoy using braves, but it would be nice if I actually had a legendary to work with. Dorcas is at A+++ bow rank, but the FE7 engine doesn't let him reach S, but I suppose what does it matter when the game is already over by the time you get the super bow? But it's cathartic to see the glowing S on several categories. Jack of all trades, master of all of them. 

Gbp7QsX.png

I will shill this until you die.

The real problem with the "only one S rank" business is that if you want a healer with an S weapon, you have to spend 6 chapters without healing with them, just spamming weapons. It's one of the reasons I like Sage Moulder over Bishop Moulder - he gets no staff rank from promotion, so he can get away with a bunch of heals before he has to stop to let his anima rank catch up.

Feeler has gotten much stronger since their first encounter. He no longer gets doubled by Gilling, and he's strong enough to 2RKO him. Gilling's stats are notoriously high for a forced moving boss, but he is an armor, so you could use stuff like Mani Kattis or a hammer on an Emmy or Lydia if you're sad. The real struggle is his annoyingly high dodge rate, and somewhat decent crit rate given his capped out speed and luck. Since Feeler cuts through defense AND is extremely accurate, he is unironically your best choice for blacking they dragon. 

What do you mean 19 speed Feeler is unrealistic?

I mean, even if he didn't have 19 speed, it wouldn't take that much for him to survive the round. And he does deal piercing damage.

I can't see myself shilling FE4 armors because if I play the remake, there's a good chance I'll just want to get the game over as a fast as possible, or maybe they balance out Arden so well that it's no longer a meme to use him, but I'd still do it.

Right, I should've specified. I got this from the google doc page. They obviously show her stats and rank her as a busted unit that you're almost definitely going to use. Since I was clearly missing out as a result of our dark desires, I wanted to show what you would've gotten for any possible lurkers. It's why the image looks differently scaled and polished compared to using the Nintendo PC built in SC. Not sure why they give her different stats as a player unit, but good for them I suppose.

We really got done dirty with Kent just being irrelevant to the plot after that one chapter. Dude, imagine using Kent to kill Gilling. You could easily have cool battle dialogue. I'm sure a ton of people would like that, especially FE7 players who liked him. I know most of us have said we're not too strong on Kent himself, but it'd be more natural and would serve as a better form of fanservice than moments like these, at least to me.

One side has 7 units and the other has only 5. Naturally, Feeler goes with the smaller team, as he's basically 3 units in one. Emmy will be the powerhouse of the southern team and Dorcas cheers her on. If only I had more than a C support for bonuses, but she also has a C with Fritz. A big shame I won't know what they're talking about. It would probably be generic given that they're Ilian mercs of the same joining chapter, but who knows? You could write your own canon.

I don't even have to clear the map to rate it. It's a simple map where you have somewhat slow pacing with the walls, but that can be seen as downtime for you to reposition your army and recover from the battles you go through from the paladins swooping at you from the dark. Enemies are once again pretty weak as to not unfairly destroy you from your lack of vision, but it also makes the map even more forgettable. At least it's an actual map unlike the last few ones. It's not terrible for a simple x chapter, but very pointless and arguably dumb for ruining the pace of the game's final moments of marching to front seat row to kicking Bern's skinny butt.

He has 16. This means he doesn't get doubled by feeler. You cannot convince me that he's anything other than the strongest man on the continent.

I bought 4 killer bows. You'd think I'd go for silvers to avoid RNG strats, but you have to be genuinely soul-less AND Godless AND heartless to not care for GBA crits.

The same applies for not liking NV, which makes things make a lot more sense.

Emmy dodges more than Fir.

Steel axes were invented just to give the player the serotonin that comes out of dodging them with your swords, so people stop saying that le 1 range lock makes them unusable. I don't use swordies because they bore me. I don't think Radd could manhandle me, but Caesar probably can.

Enough!

You're not even a threat! Of all the things you coulda used!

This is getting ridiculous.

Turn 5: Units Units Units

Ruben, do you know what his speed growth is? More importantly, can anyone remember the last time he got speed?

Unfortunately, this follows FE8 rules where ultimates only deal double effective damage over triple, making the Sol Katti not that much better than a wyvernslayer. For JP FE7, even when weapons still dealt triple effective damage, legendaries were still limited to double as to avoid another Iduun incident, where the final boss is far too easy to kill from the absurdly large amount of damage you do, and making their defense align to that screws over everyone else and possibly the player if they broke the weapon. Of course, everyone just luna crits with Athos, but it's the thought that counts. I tend to naturally crit Goat Demon with Ephraim and one round regardless.

Of course. More manaketes. More horses. Amazing.

Turn 6: I Don't Have 2 Torch Staves

xgNf3eH.png

They love hiding manaketes in a dark. D**k move. They'll just cut your defense and kill you without you knowing. If only I still had more torches. At least this one's alo-

aaand he's jerking off. Oh sweet Lord, that is disgusting. Why does it look like that? Please cleanse my memory of what I have just witnessed.

Your feeling privileges have been revoked. Permanently.

Okay, the wyvernslayer is pointless. Bows for the win.

People could learn from my genius tactics. That is basically why I do LP's. 

You'll play way better when you realize that Cord is good and that old people are the greatest when they're not political candidates. These screenshots have nothing to do with master play. I just swapped her brave sword to not waste uses and then heal her instead of attacking with Sergei and having Emmy drink tea to heal. That's a pretty basic thing. I'd be scared if you can't do that. I'd laugh at you. Hee hee hee haw!

Like I said. Old people rule. Could Rissete do that? Yes, but without passion.

I'll give myself credit for making sure I could create a wall with 2 units at full health given the bad ways I could've gone around that. After all, what could go wrong with putting a unit with 12 speed as a frontline tank? Surely they won't be targeted by another manakete, surely...

Turn 7: He Wasn't

QU0k4Xm.png

Walls have 70 HP in this chapter. It tends to take 3 units to break the wall. If I still had eclipse, Trachina coulda been useful. Instead, she warms the benches until her heal staff is needed. This is a real argument used for why Sophia is better than Wendy. 10 whole levels halfway in the game with the worst hit rate in the series just for a heal staff.

Clearly, they haven't used the triangle attack.

Finally. Fritz gaming. It's been too long.

This shall suffice.

We finally begin to reunite.

If this was made by Kaga, he would be called Jodl.

Turn 8: Can We Swap Places With Roy?

H4d07Vx.png

Roughly +2 of Percival's stats. Why do I bring up Perceval?

Shilling.

She only needs one more HP and defense. Then the numbers will be very stimulating to the brain. Move one speed to strength and it'd all be increments of 5.

Haha! You go Ya-

Wait. 22 speed. He's faster than Erica. She has one more speed, but...Big Guy. Big Guy! He's weighed by nothing! Even his skill's been doing great! Absolute beast! He can make his own channel called Mr. Beast, but instead of giving away money through challenges, he eats money from national banks and destroys the value of currency.

And that's Anon the map. Hidden in the shadows of incognito mode. Walls blocking his intrusive thoughts from landing him a spot on a hit list. Manaketes to display display racism exemplified through slaughtering them such as Roy would in his fanfics. Surprisingly slow enemies to represent the anonymity of the speed stat. 

Dude, your map sucks.

Ah, I should put this in the spoiler tag to save room.

...

Oh, that's it. That's the ending to the chapter. 

 

If xp means nothing to you, this is probably the chapter you would be justified in not accepting the Gaiden for. What are you missing? Fenrir? Get outta here. Leave. The whole site. Exit Serenes right now.
