Saint Rubenio

I mean, I'd expect there to be a cult, considering Shrimpy has already alluded to it. Unless I misinterpreted Shrimpers's posts. And if there's no cult I'm wondering what explains the mind control. I suppose we shall see.

You single out KagaSaga even though you've not only played only two of the four KagaSagas, but TRS also happens to be the game where the main enemy nation as a whole and a good chunk of enemy commanders are sympathetic to a degree. And Vestaria Saga has a ton of humane folks on the enemy side. There's the cults, of course, but if you're going to call KagaSaga out on having some big evil villains, well... Surely UO does too? Yeah you know what, you have no right to call Brightbow or me out on anything.

TIL my hack has a tv tropes page. It has two tropes and one of them is factually wrong, but I'm still super flattered.

No he isn't, he broke the thing on Jahn's head. There can't be an Armads curse without Armads.

I do rather like that Eldigan is not so thrilled about fighting his childhood friend, and he'd rather take any other way out. There's actually an interesting reading there. Eldigan might've known this was a completely dumbass idea, but he preferred it to meeting Sigurd on the battlefield, despite all his big talk, especially after finding out his own sister stood with him. Though maybe that's just me attending the "Selena was in love with Vigarde and became suicidal after discovering he's gone for good" school of charitable headcanons. Of course, the almost comedic execution (no pun intended) of Eldigan's final scene kind of detracts from whatever charitable reading one might want to do. Kinda like Selena saying "madness though it may be, I shall be the one doing the killing today" and promptly dragging 30+ loyal Grado soldiers down with her in her suicide by Ephraim. Either way, he (and she for that matter) beats the next game's Camus. That one's just kind of bad. I'd forgotten the funny "glory to Thracia" guy was this much of a jobber. And now all of a sudden they aren't reviled anymore. The common folk are genuinely shocked that Bridget's pirates would perform piracy. ...You know, so many problems would go away if the word "reviled" just wasn't there in the opening narration lmao You betrayed me, you're no good, you're just a chicken, cheep cheep cheep cheep cheeeeeep - King Chagall seconds before Eldigan's head rolled Anyway, yeah, Chagall's a pretty good secondary villain. He plays his role, he adds to the vibe of Jugdral being a ticking timebomb politically and gets a couple nice, memorable moments to himself. FE4 rather lacks good secondary villains, so it's nice to have one while he lasts. And then they reuse his face for some rando in gen 2 instead of Macbeth's. #JustKagaThings Honeslty, I really don't think you can blame Deirdre either, even. Manfroy just discovered through... Telepathy? Clairvoyance? Dark magic? Plot conveniences? That Deirdre was exactly where she was, and teleported in without delay. Seriously, that's bugging me now. If they just established that Manfroy finds out scovers at some point that Deirdre is with Sigurd, then okay, that makes sense that he'd know her location with some degree of accuracy and was just waiting for an opportunity to nab her without Sigurd there to intervene. But as it is, it just feels like he knows because he knows all of a sudden. Am I forgetting a scene or something? There was his talk with Sandima but that's before she even gets with Sigurd lol. Maybe that's why it took him all these months, he was combing the Spirit Forest in vain all that time. The BlaBla one is even funnier because FE6 gives zero indication to Armads being cursed even though you can give it to every axe user in the game. It's just thrown in there in 7 for the sake of dumb references, continuity be damned. I have to agree with you there. Going from the conclusion to the villain major enough to last two whole chapters, the tragic death of Sigurd's childhood friend and the disappearance of Deirdre to... generic pirates is just kind of lame. Ah okay, so they do explain why Valkyria can't be used on plot deaths. It's midichlorians. Got it. That blond knight girl looks so much cooler than Deirdre. She would've probably not gotten Kaga'd so easily. I still say the explanation should be just "I need the corpse to be able to resurrect them with Valkyria." Then just throw a line in there that Kurth drowned and his body was lost to the current or something. "I'm liberating this area in the name of freedom His Majesty for its oil its castle."

Is this going to be the new meme, that I'm some kind of killer guitar player? I mean, incorrect, but don't mind that, by all means go ahead! It's a cool meme. Not particularly. I'm also not a fan of FE8's Glen, though he does at least make for a decent voice of reason character to use to bounce off of Caellach, with the other generals away in another route.

It does be rather nice, by this game series's romance standards. Jesus, it's like the idea of being even slightly remarkable makes Holyn retch with disgust. Vindication. We can't all be as blessed as Inconsistently Moral Pirate Waifu. I do like how she takes like two steps off the castle and Manfroy just immediately appears. What do you mean, "I've found you at last"? Please, elaborate, man. How exactly did you find her, then? I like how all his growths are bad except HP, which is a clean 100%. Good unit. Hah, fair enough. That's Derrick instead.

FE12 is a prequel to FE3 book 2, you can tell because dynamite hasn't been invented yet. I was going to say this is like complaining the developers of Super Mario Bros didn't account for the posibility of a player taping down the right D-PAD button and losing all their lives to the first goomba, but then I realized... no, that just means the game restarts. What you say just straight up kills a run if you do it lmao. I mean, I understand working on the assumption that nobody's going to be so funny as to do that, but... Sheesh.

Consider that Fomortiis's whole goal is the destruction of all humanity. ...That being said, "this guy dies too what a shocker" makes for some pretty boring end cards. I'll have to see how I handle that when I get there. In the FE6 hack I killed off a solid 2/3rds of the cast, and half the survivors got a bad ending anyway. It was still, against all odds, a semi-optimistic ending. I don't know if I'll go that route here. Assuming it won't be too much of a hassle to implement (don't think so but you never know), the plan's two endings, branching on the penultimate chapter. Bad Ending, and Extremely Bad Ending.

I even have it all laid out, you know. I have a text file with the order in which everyone is going to die. I'm actually rather pleased, unlike in the FE6 hack I might have room to fit the entire playable cast. Everybody dies, Wraith. Just this once, everybody dies!

I'm having too much fun writing Riev as a main character of something to think of such trifles as conscience. Good. I choose death. For everyone. I mean, if it's a remaster, that means the textures and maybe the models too are going to be a lot larger. I don't know if 50 GB larger, but larger. If it's just the two games repackaged, then yeah, it's rather incomprehensible.

Hahahaha... Hahaha! AHAHAHAHAHAHAA!! I mean, I understand the sentiment. I do like her, she's one of my favorite dancers (not that the competition is exactly stellar, considering it's basically her, Seadall, Ninian and the rest are all the same godawful archetype). However I must commit to the bit. I have a duty to concoct a true evil timeline, and to that end I must discard any personal feelings for the characters. Why, Moulder is a one-off boss, that's how you know I'm trying not to show too much bias! Not too much. Knoll and Duessel have had rather massive roles so far and Seth has said three lines and hasn't even appeared since chapter 1.

Plot forcefields my beloved. So beloved in fact I put them in my hack. They lift when you murder Tethys, they're just there so you can't spare her because I am a cruel human being

I was thinking of that one. Super metal line. It's no wonder that when the rest of them became anti-heroes (or a joke earlygame antagonist), Pigma went on to be the most straight up villain of them. Guy's fucking wretched.

Oh no, it isn't that kind of warhammer. It's a rectangular slab of stone on a stick. Amazing. Andross's enemy is MY enemy!

Andross has ordered us to take you down.

That moment when I randomly find a song I like but it's from a Pokemon Gacha of all things. Oh, well. Musician's blameless in that crime.

Watching someone play Unicorn Overlord on discord now. I'm going to say that the warhammers are fucking awesome. Like, seriously, that's a really fun-looking weapon type. ...It is apparently confirmed that there's no gay, though. They even called the marriage item "maiden ring." So uh, yeah. Wah wah.

True. Had not considered that. I like these devs. They do a lot of things I really agree with. Honestly though, if that is their reason, they are wise to do it. Camilla has not one but multiple separate mods just to give her sensible armor. Such people would have a field day with Vanillaware's piece of shit female designs. EDIT: In my opinion.

See, here's the thing. There's not a "console mode" and a "computer mode" for videogames. I won't claim to understand the specifics, but each console is different from the rest and has their own idiosyncrasies. Xbox, Playstation and Switch is three different versions. In other words, two of those are ports. So they can do ports, they just refuse to do them for PC. You know, the platform that's easiest to develop on, publish games on and maintain. Oh my fucking God it really is. That's brilliant.

That is quite neat, actually. Always fun to see devs who go the extra mile for the content only 1% of players will ever see. They actually put it in the contract that the games cannot come out on PC. Who hurt them? Did they get bullied by a PC master race bro in school or what? They'd have a genuine, if modest, niche here, everyone's always vying for Fire Emblem on PC.

Would you care to spoil me? DMs if it's an issue.

Honestly, I wouldn't even single out modern FE there. The extent of generic citizens in FE as a whole is basically just to say some words to you before giving you an item, or to be a unit on the map you need to protect from the bad guys. Trying to make the game's universe seem like a breathing, living world with people living their lives is a KagaSaga thing. Maybe it's the decor? He should buy some furniture. I hear there's a guy in town who sells some at some killer prices.

I am aware. You can expect significantly less, uh, raep on his part in my take on the matter.

You say that like he doesn't have his own hack already. And yes, playable Gheb will be a thing. I'll try to spend as little time on him as possible. Hardy har har.
