  1. I'm sorry this isn't exactly what you're looking for but, ShadowofChaos made a english patch of FE9 japanese. And I was able to play maniac on that game without beating Hard first. So I suspect if you download the english patch that should be somewhere on this site, you could play maniac without finding a special save. But it would be in english, not japanese.

    I found the link:

    It's also possible that the attached save will work even in Japanese, I'm not sure.

  2. I normally don't feel like u guys are missing the point when I'm on here, but i think here you are (maybe intentionally to generate discussion, please don't take that as offensive, I actually think it's perfectly fine).

    I'm pretty sure legendary weapons are frequently coined as such in the game (or "divine"). They're chiefly legendary because there are legends about them, because they have some kind of connection to legendary events, because someone legendary wielded them. I don't think that S rank weapons in games like FE7, 9 or 10, which have little to no  story importance (though Greil's Urvan is discussed very briefly when Caineghis presents it, for example) are ever described as legendary - at least I don't think that word is used. However, it seems to me that the mani katti has legends about it, seems legendary, even though it doesn't fall into the kind of legendary weapon profile I think most of the weapons that are being discussed will fall into.

    It's about story.

  3. This is the first time Defeatist Elitist visited my profile and didn't say I love you. I mean, I don't think that's exactly true, but I had come to expect him saying "I love you" or "I still love you" on occasion. I don't blame him though, because I was psychologically channeling that I wasn't sure/didn't love him back because I had no idea why he loved me. Actually, him not saying I love you, I believe, brought me closer to loving him.

    Let me know if you remember it, as a matter of historical curiosity.


    Ya you know what it's Fire Emblem Sanctuary of Strategy I think. There was also a Fire Emblem Shrine of Seals forum I think and I while I used to know the difference, now (in terms of names) I tend to blend them together. It looks like one of the versions of the forum, up to date around 2005, still exists as an archive of sorts, but there were newer versions of the forum that lasted at least until 2007 I think.

    EDIT-If I had to troll I think I would troll Eiyuden Chronicles, for vengeance. I was a member of their discord but got banned without being given a reason - and I think it's weird, because I almost never posted there and I'm pretty sure it had been at least 2 months since I last posted before they banned me. But, I don't have a particularly strong desire for vengeance...if they had some kind of reason that they didn't want to discuss with me that's OK.

  5. This post assumes you don't spend, say, 45 minutes per day of your time trolling about a video game already.

    If you had to post about a game and complain about it, attempt to inflame the opinions of fans OR detractors (or both), make aggravating or insulting fanart, post poorly written fanfiction based on it (no crossovers), insult fans (especially very good or very bad players)...what would you choose?

    For the sake of discussion, if you want to talk about trolling for a game that used to be discussed a lot but is now dead due to being an old game, and you had a feel for the community back when the game was still discussed somewhat frequently, you could choose to talk about trolling for a game series in its heyday. So you could choose to select trolling on SF back when Awakening, Fates, or Three Houses were popular and there was lots of discussion.

    You're not restricted to just one community. Like if you select Fire Emblem you could consider reddit or that older popular FE board that's now defunct (I can't remember what it was called anymore).

    I'm asking this question here because I feel like there truly isn't much mean-spirited trolling on this site most of the time right now.

    EDIT-I guess I am just trying to see if I can select a discussion topic that hasn't been discussed before, because I can't think of what game I would want to spend time trolling about if I had to. I guess I would select Super Robot Wars.

    EDIT2-I am here contending that I am not a troll?

    Skills: In Path of Radiance and Radiant Dawn you will receive skill scrolls in a number of ways. In PoR skills are permanent, while in Radiant Dawn they can be assigned and removed to your units.


    Keep in mind that many units have "personal skills" which cost them no skill points to have attached. But if you remove those skills and assign them to someone else, the skill will cost skill points (variable based on skill). Not only that, but even returning them to the same unit will still mean the skill will now cost skill points. IMO many skills aren't that important in RD for the most part, though, especially the assignable ones. Just the nihil scrolls so you can attack endgame bosses safely.

     

  7. Would it make sense for him to fight for Daein? Eh, not really either. He has no affection for Pelleas or Micaiah, and probably wouldn't be keen on doing the Senate's bidding. If there'd be any cause for him to join, it'd be because Jill is already there.


    Considering how rare paired endings are in RD, is it not perhaps likely that Jill is a significant reason for Haar to join Daien? The main thing is that it does probably make more sense for Jill to join Haar than the other way around...not to talk too much in circles...

  8. Reg the original topic...I'm not sure anyone said it and I read most of the topic I think, so I will just say, if anything

    The problem isn't with dawn brigade chapters being too hard or the units being too weak, but instead part 3 Greil Mercenary chapters are too easy. I mean, I know it's great to have the "oh shit the GM are here" moment in 3-13, but in general most of the part three chapters are IMO the weakest part of the game. Maybe Haar should have gone to DB since that's where Jill is (and get rid of recruting Jill to GM altogether).

    Listen bud. It's the reputation I've seen it garner on Reddit, GameFAQs, damn near everywhere I see Fire Emblem discussed. You cannot blame me (someone who has YET to play it) for being wary of it. Gosh damn dude.

    Not blaming you in particular. It doesn't bother me if it's considered hard, I'm just surprised.

  10. I'm amazed ppl are saying radiant dawn is one of the hardest. It's pretty much the only FE I've beaten on the hardest difficulty except maybe FE4 and 5 (which don't really have a hard difficulty). I think hector hard mode is tougher than radiant dawn hard mode. And the last time I was playing it, I was having some trouble on the protect the pope chapter of FE8 on hard mode (though for the rest of that game it was easier than RD). One of the easiest things is that you can just use the resources you're given on almost any chapter and make it through fine. I do think that playing blind could make it a little more difficult just because of

     

    part 3 dawn brigade chapters. Especially if you're kind of messing around and lose Zihark and Jill after using them a lot or something.

    I really don't know what localizers are thinking when they do stuff like that. Like when you get a really foreign name and you change it to something more English sounding, fair enough. When you have something that sounds foreign for a Japanese audience but too generic for an English one, like Hyrda->Anankos, fair enough. When you have something that is trying to be English in Japanese and changing it to more accurate English, fair enough. But why change one perfectly understandable English reference to another English reference. I wonder when we eventually get an Iago in Japanese will they change him to Macbeth.

    Well apparently they did that (I didn't know that) in Fates. And there's also Macbeth from Seisen no Keifu IIRC. Assuming they do an FE4 remake, it'd be great if they called him Iago in English as well!

    Yeah that was a real weird move by the localizers. Part of me thinks the Japanese included his Radiant Dawn weapon just to fuck with the localizers.

    Oh. I just realized. Ike and Zelgius getting their swords named after Arthurian maidens...obviously it means they're married to swords/warfare/phallic symbols and they'll never fall in romantic love with a woman. Besides Aimee.

    By GCI, I assume you mean a CG (computer generated) cutscene. In which case I have to I form you that, yes, the game already has that. An image of Ike walking away with Ettard instead of Ragnell is the very last thing you see.

    Ike being sidelined for Micaiah is also the exact opposite of the complaint most people towards Radiant Dawn.

    Shit, I never noticed that it was Ettard instead of Ragnell in particular. I'm kinda glad I still hang out around here over things like this.

    Oh, for a second I fooled myself and I thought you meant Alondite instead of Ragnell rather than Ettard instead of Ragnell, because apparently my brain went Japanese on me and assumed you meant JP Ettard (which is Alondite in US in case anyone doesn't know).

    If they had for some reason had Ike wielding the BK's sword instead of his own 18 might proof, I would've wondered why forever.

  14. They gave themselves nicknames because Odin insisted on it is my guess.

    It's possible they were all assigned to Nohr because of class flavoring - it wouldn't make that much sense for one of them to know how to fight like a Hoshido warrior. Then again, Odin became a mage type even though he was a myrmidon in Awakening.

    With some inspiration from that guy from the Fate/type moon whatever series, do the awakening units die if they are killed? They should probably be given survival status if they're actually going to do something in the story. I don't think they actually need to be split between countries, that doesn't seem to achieve much, but they should have revealed something in Revelation since they were taken to Valla and didn't have to keep quiet due to the weird no talking about valla spell.
