Saint Rubenio

He can't use axes, though. However, you could always say... I mean, no offense to the good artist, but... Heroes art is so inconsistent. We got crap like Wendy, Athefir and Eliwho?, and then there's the likes of Cecilia, Hardin, Gunter, Lyon... and, ironically enough, lovely!Eliwood, who looks absolutely amazing, in my humble opinion. It may be more limited to the structure of the base game, but all the fancy skill systems and QoL features can't beat Requiem's story, which rivals even the official FE series (I can tell you, it beats FE12 right out of the park, to say the least), and the gameplay may be simple, but it works, even if I recall the difficulty curve to be... strange, shall we say. Add to that the fact that it's actually a finished hack (partly because it didn't try to be unnecessarily fancy, and instead settled for quality over quantity, which helped the creator not burn out before finishing it like pretty much everyone else), one of the four that are, one being only in japanese, and the other being the Last Promise (I don't think I need to say anything about that one)... I definitely recommend you to finish it, because it's pretty good. Heck, my first post here in Serenes was a (pretty sucky, I'd say) review of Requiem that I wrote way back in the day. As for my comment... you're forgetting pretty hard, because what I speak of happens at the end of chapter 1. Annoying Dayni... he's the great Eliwood! "I am only here thanks to Hatchet, Hatchet is awesome, we can win with Hatchet". This is starting to remind me of Pretzel, and I really don't want to hate Hatchet. I need to see him fail soon, or else... Ah, yes... I got to experience that first-hand a couple days ago. <-- pictured, not one of the guys who died over a ring. He handled that whole 17x ordeal pretty damn well, all things considered. I'll never understand why that is a thing, honestly. That's a fireemblem.png situation, right there. Also, I like how the enemy Thief gif is moving faster than Matthew's, as if the guy's getting all upset and nervous. And fightin-- oh, wait. Keep your cool, girl, there's no need to get all burned up for that. Because I'd feel the urge to throw you off a cliff instead? I dunno about anybody else, that's my reason. Nah, just joking. As I've said in the past, I don't hate Serra like I hate Clarine. Hwahahah... good ol' Lyn. Unreliable, as always. She's still got what would be considered rather below-average defenses. For a Mage. I can see Kent being so paranoid, despite the fact that it's clear that, while he'll do anything to earn money to save his wife (even kill his wife), he's much more confortable with more honorable contracts. He still has what would be considered rather below-average resistance. For a General. I think he just grabbed a poison sword and stabbed himself in the neck, nearly slashing his own head off. Lyn is just... slow. A well-organized group that kills off all survivors of failed skirmishes. Well-organized, perhaps, but efficient? Not in the slightest. Stuff like this makes me appreciate the FE11 prologue more. "But Irrelevant Old Guy, we're all friends! Power of friendshit and all! I can't send someone to their deaths just like that, this is Fire Emblem! There's got to be another--" "Fuck you, Mars. You'll send someone to die, and they'll comply so hard, even the Aum will fail to bring them back. Unless, of course, you want to stab Gaggles in the gut and watch him bleed. That should suffice." "..." Man, if I were to name my replies, this one'd be called "shadow dragon appreciation post". FE11 did it better. Ninian had much to lose for that lousy ring. Etzel had nothing but that lousy ring to lose. And he still handled it better than everyone's favourite waifu of Eli's. I never got it, either. It sounds cool? Who cares about making sense, if it sounds KEWL? And Yogi bear. Good update. I can't wait for Lyn's mode to be over so some real blood can finally start flowing on the ground.

Hello? Is anybody here? ...hmm? Ah, Lord Jerrot... when did you arrive? Just now. Once news of the Army's victory at Aquleia reached Lycia, I parted with haste to return. I'm just... not able to travel very quickly, in my state. I understand... What are you doing here all by yourself, though? ...just... hanging out. Hm... Well, it matters not. Can you tell me where Treck is? I can't seem to find him anywhere... ...! ... Well... ...he's dead, is he not? ...I'm sorry. I knew this day would come. It is the only possible end for a mercenary. He's reunited with his friend, Noah, now. Even so... ... ...my wife's sisters... the pegasus knights... at least they live still? Tate and Shanna are fine, if they're who you refer to. ...thank the heavens... some good news. Tell me... do you still have Treck's belongings? His body was buried in Arcadia, where he fell. We did keep his things to give to his family or close ones, though. Was there a letter? A letter... yes, I do believe there is a letter. In fact, now that you mention it, I think it's for you. For me, eh... well, then. Where are his belongings being kept at? Merlinus keeps them in his convoy, along with those of all the other dead. Ask him. Thank you... ...Treck... sleep well, boy. You've earned it... you both have... Part 35 - Third time's the charmless.

Excellent. Thank you very much for fixing the issue so quickly. If I catch sight of any other strange occurrences, I'll be sure to tell you.

Thanks for the quick response! If you could fix it in time for me to continue my run normally, I'd really appreciate it.

I have an issue. I am using the patch that fixes the Ymir move bug as well as adding the prologue to Hard mode. I'm playing on H2. I've just made it to chapter 20x, but not everything is as it's supposed to be... Ymir's stats have been altered. Now, he's a powerhouse with amazing stats all around who could've easily taken on Camus if he joined a chapter earlier. I quickly warpskipped the chapter to see if he kept those hilarious stats once recruited. Rest assured, he did. None of the other gaiden characters (except for Nagi, I don't know about her, since I haven't played 24x yet) have this issue. I can understand the changes to the prologue (which baffled me at first, too, but then I read this thread more carefully and noticed they were intended and perfectly justified), but this? I can only assume this is a bug, because despite the fact that he now moves from his starting position, Ymir is in no more danger of dying than before, as he's still a red unit (if anything, now my army are the ones in more danger of getting killed by this monster of a unit!), so there's no real reason to increase his stats, and there's no mention of Ymir being buffed in the OP, even though you mentioned a detail as trivial as the fact that a line of text was edited to reflect Ymir not being stationary. Just thought I'd report this, in case it's a bug that managed to slip by. If not, does anyone have any ideas of what might be causing this? If nothing can be done, I guess I'll just make do with benching Ymir, I'd feel bad if I used him in this state. Other than that, it's a great patch that gave me the motivation to finally get around to playing through Shadow Dragon. Frey became my MVP, to the point where he one-rounded Camus with a ridersbane!

You guys are wrong, it's obviously Tomas.

Part 34 - Off the record. The time has finally come: soon, I'll finally be able to say I've beaten another game of this series I claim to love! It's Shadow Dragon. Recently, a patch was released that unlocks the prologue in harder difficulties and removes the unit slaughter requirement for the gaiden chapters, as well as fixing the Ymir movement bug in the original gaiden patch. Due to this, I decided it was time to finally get around to finishing that one. Of course, I mantained the totally official canon, meaning Cain fell as a sacrifice to ensure Marth's escape, and Gordin was defeated by the border guard, being replaced by Norne. All according to IntSys's plan. In light of this, I propose to you a little game: try to guess my team! I'm up to chapter 16 at the moment. Go ahead! 'Twas quite the journey, indeed. But Matthis the Invincible evaded all obstacles in his way to greatness! Oh, shut up, that never happened. I refuse to believe it did! Yes, I am in denial! I'm happy to be, all right? Don't you dare burst my bubble, you... stupid audience! Anyway, as I was saying, Matthis the Invincible evaded all obstacles in his way to greatness. But his journey was only beginning: tune in to follow the adventures of everyone's most hated Archanean character in Elibe in this Let's Play of FE6! Frost, you know as well as I do that this was needed with recent events. Ah, let him be humble. He can't hope to be as humble as our favourite humble curate who cannot fight, but etc., etc., but let him try at least. Yeah, this chapter's annoying. You still need a flier for it too because of that village with Eclipse (I had to look it up, though to be fair it would be totally useful). I did try to get it this time... more on that later. Again, Brave Lyn proves that quite handily. THE ANIME! I'm pretty sure they can, just that they usually don't get the opportunity. Save for this chapter, because it was more inconvenient this way, and as we know, IntSys strives for inconvenience. Is Cecilia supporting Douglas as well? Nah, just Lilina. Dougy's got Igrene. Boi would not be happy to hear that. Either way, should we place all bets for Roy deaths on Sacae? Go ahead, I'll do my best to defeat you.

Part 34 - SC_Thundermountain. Where SC stands for "Seize Castle".

I've been waiting for this to happen for a long time. Finally, I can use Frey in hard mode! Thank you very much.

Truly fitting. I bet that's what was playing in Zephiel's mind when he was destroying everything. Not really, he must be thinking about the mess the assasins caused when they took Ninian away. "That front yard ain't gonna clean itself up, and it's gonna be me who's goin' to have to do it! Gosh darn it all!" That's no excuse, Nils, you could be carrying a knife as well as a flute. He's a spy! Kill him! I understand... He just wants to get her to Hausen safely, but she keeps on throwing herself into trouble! Actually, that's because they're saving the obvious jokes for all his non-Raven or Renault supports. Now that I have the chance, I'll say that Renault is my favourite character in FE7. I look forward to seeing you bench him... woohoo... Poor Erk. What happened to Dorkass? He defied the odds. I can see him! Or, well, I can see his arrow! That's Dorkass for you. Although, to be honest, I'd rather see Wallace in the endgame frontlines before Dorkass. Dorkass is too obvious. A.K.A. Kent's going to kick his ass in a "friendly" spar. Why? It's not like she knows Slowpoke Who Will Promote Almost As Late As Roy, Rendering Him Unusable yet. I never said anything about personalities. Canas obviously takes the cake there. Ergh, after Knoll. And Raigh. Honestly, when it comes to Shaman, I prefer not to choose. Dark mages are always such great characters, it's too hard to pick one. Canas, Knoll, the FE6 trio, Etzel, Tear Ring Saga's Sierra... I like them all! Even the one in the pre-support era, Salem! Ah, here we go. And here we go, as well... sigh... why must I be cursed to prefer Eliwood over the other two? What sort of shoes are those? Seriously! That can't be confortable to take into the battlefield! Not to mention, that looks nothing like Eliwood. I'm sorry, but he just doesn't. Is it the same artist who drew Athena as a Fir-lookalike? Shantae is so blatant, it's a wonder it hasn't been sued by the SWJ army yet. It hasn't, right? Not that I know of, at least... I like Fire Emblem: Requiem's better, that one stayed there for the entire game. Well, I mean, who's Metis and why does his Tome give people the ability to get more stats? Why does Delphin have a shield named after him that protects fliers against arrows? All questions that cannot be answered. Sorry, dude. I can't say I feel you, even in the worst times I never lost one update so many times over. Well, then. Tomorrow, we finally get to meet the Wallman... ...no, wait, not yet. We've filler to go through before we get there.

Part 33 - A heartwarming reunion.

Warning: spoilers of Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia. Description. Context.

Ah, what a shame... You could also use Imgur like me. It's a little wonky at times if you've a ton of pictures to upload (I usually just leave it uploading in the background while I do some other things), but aside from that, it's never failed me, it's free and there's no limit of how many pictures you can post. Just make sure you don't screw up and write outside the spoiler like some idiot I know, and it should work fine.

Seth: Argh... no... Lady Eirika... still needs my assistance... guh...! Innes: I'm dying...? Pathetic... so... pathetic... L'Arachel: ...and so... the light fades... from this world...

So, uh... sorry for the doublepost. As I lay down in my bed, trying to fall asleep, I came to a realisation regarding the update. My apologies for all the foul words I flung around because I forgot about this one detail. Have a good night. Urgh.

S-Sid! Siiiid! It's a miracle! What's going on, Ruben? You look so happy... Sid, WRYS IS BACK! WHAT?! Good evening. How was my funeral? Wrys! Wrys, you're alive... you're alive! I don't believe it! How?! How did you survive?! It's a very interesting story indeed. Allow me to tell you everything... Wrys... o Saintly Elimine, thank you... thank you for... Thank you for APRIL FOOLS!! Part 32 - The math does not add up! I'm late, aren't I? Oh, well... I'm sure somewhere in the world, I was right on time. Before we begin, let me tell you two things. 1- Obviously, that last scene was non-canon for the LP. My first idea for the intro was instead shoehorned into the update, later on. It should be easy enough to find. 2- If you hate me for doing that, just keep on reading, you'll have fun.

EEEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEH! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH! That's about the only thing that came to my mind when I read this. If you know who it is, you'll understand.

Part 32 - More like Hellish Arrows.

Part 31 - I need a Hug(h).

I did use her, actually. Pretty good unit. This made me laugh more than it should have, because you fuckin' nailed it. Yep, I used the guy. And he turned out pretty damn well, too! Although my favourite magical unit was Lee, without a doubt. Never underestimate the power of having staves and tomes in a game where nobody else can have both. And, of course, I had to pick between him and Narron, and why would I pick Narron? Pffft! Marcus will get there. Hahahahahahahahahahahah... oh, well. Let God be my judge. Actually, I was thinking of a certain other Mage whose name starts with a P and is horrible. But yeah, Will ticks all the boxes too. I doubt you'll do as bad as me with BB, really. I lost half the damned cast. What do you mean, all right? It's the best thing ever! It has Wrys in it! Wryyyyyyyyyyyys! What I was trying to say is that he's fine with sending out armies upon armies of bumbling idiots to kill the girl. Not the most subtle thing ever. Yet, he apparently can't stab his brother and tell the people "oh, no, my brother died because of his illness!" and instead has to wait for the poison to work. What, people can't see the hundreds of soldiers he's sending out, but they can see him slitting Hausen's throat in his private quarters? Whoa, another thing some fanfiction got wrong. What's this, the 1353869437th time? Minerva? What does Minerva have to do with anything? Lyn's name is Lyndis, period! That's one thing some fanfiction did get right. Not name anybody Milady. Urk... Yes... except they used the portrait of an entirely unrelated boss that's, at this point in time, alive. Seriously, they didn't even bother recolouring Puzon for this scene. Guess that's why his map is a defense FoW gaiden map. They figured "hey, what's the chance of anyone actually bothering to fight him and finding out he's the same guy who died all those chapters ago?". You'll both die in less than 20 years if Rath/Lyn ends up being true. That's... a really depressing thought, actually. That's right. Settle down, you cis white male! Hahahahahahahahah... ah, the hypocrisy. Okay, make that two things some fanfiction got right. This is so... real. You do not know how happy I am to see this. Go, Kent! Prove your mettle to that Sain fanboy! He's supposed to infiltrate the party because... ... ...I hope you visited that one house later on with Matthew. I, too, really like the guy's palette. Although Wallace's is also badass, so I can forgive the game for that one. What I can't forgive is the fact that Canas is just "generic grey Druid", my least favourite Shaman/Druid palette, even counting generic bosses (the guy from the double x gaiden? Has a better palette than Canas. The guy from the boat chapter and the guy from the spider chapter in FE8? Better palettes than Canas, and green ones at that, which is always a plus for me. Heintz? Better palette than Canas. Raigh, Knoll, both females from FE6, Ewan? All have better palettes than Canas). Such a shame, since the character's absolutely amazing, as we keep on reminding each other of. Just get him a support with Bartre and try to give my own axe siblings a run for their money. FE7 has the best story in Fire Emblem. I'm sorry, most of my hate for this game is just exaggerated for comedic purposes, but whenever I hear that statement, I just can't help it. Not saying this game is bad, I don't like it that much, but that doesn't make it bad. At the same time, however, the fact that it's most people's first game (heck, it was mine as well) doesn't make it the best thing ever. There are better stories in FE. Like New Mystery. Sorry, dude, you'll die in 20 years as well. Come to think about it, a ton of people will die 20 years from now... Nooooo... don't! HEY, YOU! YES, YOU! GUESS WHAT!? MONEY IS IMPORTANT!!! Also next time: we meet Trap, a guy whose palette is better than Canas', and a man who might or might not be related to James Woods. One of these is not like the others.

Ah, shit, you posted at the same time as I did. We done goof'd, my friend. Only one way to fix this, now! Consider ^ to be KnightofNohr, readers of this thread. ^ Probably favours mages over physical fighters. < I can't think of any food a close relative of mine hates that I love, but I absolutely love breaded chicken. v Won't fuck up like me and KoN did.

Well, sorry for bringing him up again, but... Now, I haven't played Awakening, so Cordelia's feelings for Chrom might go far beyond "he's the best!", which means I might be screwing up big time here. But, eh, who cares. Frost is the best Archanean character. Let God be my judge. Bottom line, I don't actually have a waifu, if that's what you were refering to. ^ Will dare to kill Tomas despite him being almost as amazing as Frost. For shame! < Will go play Bully as soon as he's finished posting this. v Knows, much unlike the government, that Bully isn't actually a game that incentivises bullying.

Part 30 - The fair general. Hoo, boy, it's sure gonna be fun to upload that to Imgur! A day of trying to upload the damned thing over and over and failing later... ...this'll take a while.

That's right! He's a Bishop, actually. A late-game Bishop that's probably the worst mage in FE12 (and that's saying something, since Yubello is in that game) who comes from one of the Archanea Chronicles. As a character, nobody really cares enough to call him redundant because he's an extremely forgettable, unimportant unit in Archanea, the land of forgettable, unimportant characters. I gave him a chance, though, I read his one support and paid attention to his one scene in the main campaign and his actions in his Archanea Chronicle, and I ended up really liking him unironically, so I of course had to make him a badass in one way or another. He's no more an old grandpa who's far from being a competent fighter (both gameplay and plot-wise) and has a family to return to, which is the most important thing in the world for him. Despite this, he joined Marth's army as thanks for saving his homeland, Macedon, and by extension, his family. That is something I can respect. But my favourite ridiculous thing about his character is his design, it's like, the complete opposite of his personality. He's a jolly grandpa who looks like one of those manakete bosses with a square-shaped frown that's bigger than his eyes. Might have to do with the fact that, in the original SNES Archanea Chronicles, he was a palette swap of a manakete boss. Hell, not even a recolor, he had the exact same portrait as the boss! Whoa, I wrote a bible about Frost, didn't I? Guess that's what happens when you like the most forgotten character in FE. Even Glade is better known for, ironically, supposedly being exactly that. Okay, back to the game. ^ Will ramble for hours about the word incognito, yet doesn't know what an incognito window is. < My grammar stories would be hard to share here, since english is not my native language, but I'll try. Spanish for "uncle" is "tio". When I was really really young, I, for whatever reason, couldn't pronounce the "o", so I just called him "Tin". Eventually, I just turned that into a nickname for him. I still call him that now. v Has something better to do than to post in this thread.

I play Luigi because Luigi is one of my all-time favourite videogame characters. Yeah. I also play Lucas because I love Mother 3 as well, Dr. Mario because I like his coat and Marth, Robin, Roy and even Lucina on occasion. for reasons that should be quite obvious. Make of it what you will, but I am as casual as it gets. I don't even play online! My internet can't handle that. Even though it can handle things like TF2 decently... Now, let's stop going off topic before someone bans us. To answer to your prediction... hmm... I made a thread a really long time ago in the FE12 subforum asking whether I should use Tomas or Sheena, then there's this and the Let's Play subforum. Yep, that's three all right. I've also posted in a few threads from the "fan projects" sub. ^ Has a brother with delusions of Rocky-esque grandeur. I wish him good luck in his endeavours. < Likes Frost as a character. See the little snippet of text under my picture? v Probably doesn't even know who that is. FORAFORAFORAFORAFORAFORAFORAFORAFORAFORAFORAFORAFORAFORAFORAFORAFORAFORA Sorry, it was too easy.
