If you start of the pirate ship chapter with Guy in your squad he will talk about how he feels seasick.
The bottom of this page gives a list of conversations that occur with the tactician at the start of each chapter, assuming you deploy them. It varies depending on whether you're playing Eliwood or Hector Mode.
-
Yeah, depends heavily on the game. I'm almost always running out of cash in Fates/Awakening, whereas despite having plenty of excess gold in PoR, I almost never use it. RD made this a little bit better by giving us cool stuff to buy from the Bargains.

Oh wow, so even after you recruit her, most of the generic enemies will ignore her?

While I procrastinate working on and recording defense chapters in my active playthroughs, I decided to figure out how to effectively RNG abuse in yet another Fire Emblem game... and this was the result:
No plans to pursue this any further at the moment (since I've never played this game before, and I have other playthroughs that are higher on my priority list), but thought you guys might enjoy.
EDIT:
Sorry, there is a recording issue at the moment that will get fixed in like 2 minutes when I change the link.Fixed! -
Nice job! Congratulations!

Hey guys! As some of you may know, Vestaria Saga Part 1 was released recently. Since I've done (okay, started) LPs for both Tear Ring Saga and Berwick Saga, I thought it was only right for me to also try an LP of this game. My LP completion rate is 0%, but hopefully this will be the one that I finish. Besides, it can only help that I'm starting my fourth year of university tomorrow and will most likely be very busy for the next 8 months.
I know that feeling lol. I'm at something like 5% myself (1 completed, too many started).
-
Yes, it really bothers me when this happens, and I can't bring myself to continue the game without redoing the boss battle.
-
I'm pretty sure the Branch of Fate would go from the M!MU file even after starting the F!MU BoF file, so Felicia should be the same if starting from the M!MU file again. If going from a M!MU file to a F!MU file, Felicia should be rerolled since she's a "Different unit", as she has different bases and is a higher level.
Ah, OK, I misread the question. Yeah, that sounds reasonable.
-
I haven't tested this at all, but the answer is probably dependent on whether or not Felicia rejoins the party later on at whatever stats you left her at or at a new level (I think it's level 13? I forget). If it's the former, her level ups should remain fixed, but if it's the latter then they should be rerolled.
-
I should note that the Game does NOT reroll the random numbers upon starting branch of fate. It simply calculates your main character's new level ups by using his previous level and random number rolls, in combination with the total growth rates given by your boon and bane. It's entirely possible to decide whether to use a character when starting at branch of fate based on their level ups in a previous save file.
Just for clarification, I believe this is only true for the units you have gotten up until Branch of Fate, since new characters have there levels rolled on their join map. I might be wrong though, as I haven't tested this out.

DieckHonestly, I'd probably say Stefan is the best swordmaster we have in terms of lore, right? Karel is probably next, but I don't think he's better than Stefan.
-
Sadly, I think it also has to do with the fact that potential new members are more likely to join communities like the FE subreddit than SF, but I could be wrong.
-
I don't think you can get the special spear by killing her, only by using the enemy control glitch to get her to trade it to the Shaman with the droppable tome (Nosferatu or Luna, I forget) and then killing him.
-
Finally got this done! Training Leonardo is annoying, but I managed to get him 8 kills (2.5 levels) so he is up to level ~8.50, which should mean that I don't need to BEXP him again (or very limited amounts). Thankfully, NPC!Jill was (for once) very helpful and cooperative in making this process easy by weakening the soldiers to low HP so Leo could finish them off. Micaiah got to level 11, so pretty happy with that and she definitely shouldn't need BEXP.
Only 1-6 left to be annoying now, and after that it should be pretty smooth sailing to 1-E. Hopefully I can finally get that clear up for you guys soon!EDIT: I miscounted, actually it was 9 kills.
-
Canto + Pair Up/Shelter is ridiculously broken. The game gets really easy to abuse if you can do that (one might already argue that Pair Up + Shelter is broken), so not sure I would want to see the return of Canto unless they got rid of the Pair Up system.

Sorry, been focusing on getting Radiant Dawn's first annoying defense chapter planned out/recorded, so I haven't looked at this for a while
Just out of curiosity, you say you cleared Chapter 7 on Hard in 3 turns. Since Effie and Arthur don't turn up until the start of the 4th turn, does that mean they don't join your party if you clear the chapter in just 3 turns? Or do they join after the chapter or something?
Yeah, it's pretty amusing to be honest. Elise and Silas have the normal conversation were they talk about Elise running ahead of her retainers, and then once you clear the chapter they just forget about Effie and Arthur and they don't join you. It's much more fun having them join this time around, so I'm happy taking the extra turn.
I'd rather you post it as the run feels more complete with it there if nothing else.
Yeah, I was feeling the same way. I'm probably going to do it, but it might take a little bit longer to get up. Shouldn't be longer than by the end of next week though (hopefully sooner)
-
Great job with the last clear! It's really insane how annoying enemy AI mainpulation can be.
-
Ah, fair point. Yeah I guess that's a benefit of fraps or something like that. You can always record later, but I suppose you're trying to get that live reaction?
-
Optimizing Leonardo's EXP gain is such a pain...
But I've been working on this (about halfway through 1-5) and hoping to get a video up in the next couple of days. Also fixed the link in the previous post that was broken.
-
Yes, but why bother? Just use VBA-rr which has a built in recorder so that you can pause during the recording, roll-back, etc. (all the good things that you want).

The desert chapters was painful, the worst desert chapter in FE so far.
I couln't get the ocean seal.
I noticed too late that probably only Hawkeye can find this. RIP 50000
It was already hard enough to find all items before all the enemies are defeated. At least I got the most important ones (body ring, falla ring, hero crest).
I guess I won't use Heath. Got one level up: only res :/
You can guarantee that you pick up the Ocean Seal by doing the following as soon as you start the chapter (assumign you come off a hard reset):
Go to the status screen for Hector (press "R" or whatever)
hang out for like half a second
cancel out of it and then move him 2 spaces right to pick up the ocean seal.
Look at roughly the 30 second mark of this video to see what I mean.

Priscilla is great, plus once she is promoted, she has the "thief bonus" for combat EXP so she gains levels really fast. She has pretty solid growths too and is definitely worth investing in.
Dart is pretty decent but it costs a lot of money to promote him and he's by no means necessary.
Rath is the best bow user.
Oswin is fine if you want to use him, although 4 mov (5 upon promotion) will limit his usefulness compared with just training up another cav.
-
Don't worry too much about supports, they don't really factor in as much in this game as they due in the newer incarnations of the series.
-
So yes, while you did a good job on this clear, and feel free to play as you want, but I honestly think that clearing Chapter 9 without all these things in more turns is much harder, since you rig misses and use bonus items and rig support points and get talk bonuses as you need them.
I changed the thread title. For what it's worth, the bonus items were only used in Chapter 7 in lieu of using the renown statboosters (which is what other LTCers have used on Lunatic) for a temporary rather than a permanent boost. The talk bonuses have also been only for Felicia during Chapters 7 through 9 and I won't need them beyond that (and in fact I didn't strictly need the bonus for either Chapter 8 or 9, it just dramatically improves reliability).
On a different note, do people want to see my clear of Chapter 10? I'm planning to get back to work on this soon, but it's a little bit annoying to record a chapter of that length, and obviously there won't be any ridiculous strategies going on there (the only RNG abuse will be to set up Camilla for a series on nice levels for the rest of the playthrough). Let me know if you you want to see what I do, otherwise I'll probably just play through the chapter and post another video starting with Chapter 11.
Thracia Paragon Mode Chapter 1 in 2 turns

Right, I saw that too, although I guess he either found it too tedious or didn't realize that it was possible to 2 turn the first chapter by setting things up so that Leif got 3 kills on the first EP? I'm not familiar with the game at all, but it doesn't seem to me like missing out on Dagdar and co. (and the Pugi/Brave Axe) will result in any loss to turn count before the Manster chapters, at which point I assume it's irrelevant.
It's not something I'm really interested in working on more anyway, since I have other things I'd like to wrap up first, and right now I'm even a bit too busy with RL stuff to focus on that.
