On the FE8 items page, the Torch item has the Torch staff icon next to it. http://serenesforest.net/the-sacred-stones/inventory/items/

That's really strange. Those three move stars on Ronan, though. Responses in bold. This took much longer than I would have liked. I can't believe how many reinforcements the game is throwing at me already. Anyway, muchachos, it's finally time to gather 'round for Force's Jugdral. Roxy.OS: If I must.

Ooh, nice! Thanks for that info. Speaking of info, muchachos, you can now inform yourselves of what happened for me in Ch. 2. Gather 'round! Roxy.OS: Watch out for that axe!

Dear Splatoon, Stop stealing all my time. Thanks, Force Alright, muchachos, after a nice, long break, it's time for Force's Jugdral to start up again! Roxy.OS: Warning: mildly phallic

Eh, I don't care. The whole thing is pretty stupid.

The betas I played were very enjoyable, so I'd expect this to become one of the better hacks.

>Summer camp competition, we get divided into eight teams with Game of Thrones house names >Average team size is eight, we have eight >Turns out to be seven, one guy is sick and we don't get anyone else >Our team is Lannister, looks like Leonster, I call it Leonster >Nobody knows what I mean by Leonster if they hear it that way, but they mostly hear it as Lannister so it's alright >We're up against Tyrell >Tyrell sounds/looks enough like Thracia, will be calling them Thracia for the rest of this >Thracia has nine campters >9:7 is a bigger ratio than you think >First event is CTF, but taking the flag back across the field is unnecessary >That eliminates around half the game, but alright >Mostly because the "flags" are male counselors dressed up as princesses >As a camp we were already acclimated to dudes in dressed by the July 4th softball game, played by counselors >Pretty much a stalemate, Thracia strikes first by sneaking a guy through a totally unguarded part of our field >Leonster cooridinates a pretty good attack, I get pretty close to the flag >All of a sudden, a Thracia player swoops in from ~10 feet behind what should be the out-of-bounds behind the flag, tags me >Three Leonstrians in jail, one Thracian >Ratio of Thracians to Leonstrians is now 4:3 >Nothing happens for a while, jailbreak >Thracia gets another point due to incompetent defense >Game ends, I'd say 2-0 is a pretty bad loss in 10-15 mins >Teams move together instead of one group clockwise, another counter-clockwise >It's starting to look more and more like a rout for Thracia >I can tell because we're about to go to the closest thing to a desert in camp: a sand dune >Next event is castle siege >One team starts at the bottom, the other at the top >Bottom team is trying to take a hat down, the top team trying to defend against its theft >Thracia yet again has a clear advantage due to sheer numbers >Again, 9:7 is a bigger ratio than you think >4 rounds happen, score ends up 3-1 Thracia >This is gonna be Yied Desert again for Leonster >Next event is castle crashers >To win, all cones have to be knocked down by a frisbee out of a structure of crates and cones, not just most cones knocked down >I manage to knock down two of four cones on my first attempt, one was already down >The last cone is somewhat obscured >After ~7 minutes of attempts from both sides, we knock down the last cone >Maybe not Yied Desert again? >Throw invalidated due to BS reason, it's Yied Desert >~3 more minutes, neither team wins >Tiebreaker is vegetable charades >Vegetable charades >You gotta me kidding me >Thracia gets it first >Answer was rotten celery >How are you supposed to act that out? >3-0 Thracia-Leonster >Yied.

I announced I was gonna be gone so I'd consider it sleeping rather than dead. Thanks! As for Juan's skills, that makes sense. Shame Verdane was void of any holy or special weaponry, unless you count the Killer Bow, I think that place was a wasted opportunity in some regards. I suppose I haven't seen Crit come into effect enough to see why you'd want it on kids. I did need it to beat Reptor, as you saw. They do. [spoiler=Sooper dee dooper spoylerz]Lex and his father don't get along, as evidenced by his convo with Axel later in the chapter, so it's no surprise Langbart labels him a traitor right away. As for Reptor and Tiltyu, Reptor has mixed feelings about fighting his daughter. I'm glad you're enjoying this! Let's just hope Thracia doesn't treat me too poorly c= These will likely be the last chatty posts. Once I'm done catching up with everyone I'll start cleaning up, then get to the first update of Part 2.

Remind me to use an Iron Sword next time. Roxy.OS: Congratulations, you missed the point of using Tiltyu completely! ^~^ Responses in bold here. I'm finally back! It was a great time at camp, but it also feels good to be home. I'll probably start up again Friday or Saturday, but that would probably entail cleaning up things. Before starting Thracia, I will be transferring updates 1-6 onto Google Docs and linking the folder in the OP. I have some stuff to take care of, as well as birthday events, so I may not be very responsive at first. Something I would like are suggestions for Thracia menu backgrounds. I do admit to having poked around the first chapter a little, but mostly for settings. Awards will be given for ugliest, most creative, and best-looking menu backgrounds!

Glad to see this has come along while I was away! I think this will be wonderful.

Indeed. That Skl bonus on Reptor is just too big. I'd like to see someone try to take him out with Tiltyu, though. For the second line, to face Langbart? Armorslayer on Beowulf, Ayra, or Holyn probably does the job just as well as one of the three holy weapon users, the latter two probably making quicker work due to higher Str caps.

This is looking very nice, especially the Bow General! Is the Iron Ballista there a placeholder, or will Ballistas be weapons Bow users can carry around? I say that you shouldn't work too hard on balancing chapters, but rather getting your story solid before you balance things.

Yeah. It's crazy that you can beat him with Elwind on Levin, though. If Levin had one more point of Mag, he would have one-shotted Reptor with a crit. For Langbart, I just used the Armorslayer on Beowulf =P I feel like that was either unavoidable of they didn't catch it in beta testing. Either way, it certainly seems more honorable.

It worked. Thanks a lot!

I've been trying to consolidate my signature by putting my quotes in a spoiler, but for whatever reason only the first quote is hidden in the spoiler. The rest of the quotes are in the spoiler box, but do not disappear when the spoiler is closed. If it helps at all, below my signature as it stands now. The two quotes that came directly from this forum didn't paste in a way that looks like it would not transfer into SF quotes. Also, the image at the end might not properly transfer.

Oh, sorry. >_< However, I felt it was fitting for the last chapter to be in one update, but I mostly so I could actually get on it. I will be putting updates 1-6 into Google Docs at some point, So I'll consider breaking Update 20 up when I get to that. [spoiler=MLG Reptor Strats]What I did with was RN burn with Noish at the home castle until Levin activated Adept, with a critical on one of the two attacks. A straight critical would have left him at 1HP.

Roxy.OS: That's a sound prediction. Let's just say FE5 will very likely have many more jabs at the script than Genealogy. I've seen Thracia FoW. I don't like that they don't even show you the terrain.

opens mouth, eats potato Yum~ throws lengthy LP update

We did it, reddit! Gather 'round, chicos, for the last of Gen 1. Roxy.OS: 121 pages and 1,045 associated images. Are you ready? [spoiler=Final Thoughts][spoiler=What I wrote directly after finishing Gen 1, completely unabridged]Cuando viste a la barbacoa... Fuck. The bipolarity is insane. Maybe not bipolar, but two-facedness. I'm sure that my army could have taken them, but Reptor was hard to kill. It was a big stab in the back, though... All of Generation One, cooked to a golden brown. Or sepia. Or whatever that filter was. Fuck. Fuck. FUCK!!! Raquel, Juan, God, Sir Digurd, Diergurd, Midayle X Adean as a yuri ship, OLD MAN POWER, the Sega sponsorship, the chill, the list goes on of things that were burned. Not just the people. Not just the units. Not just EXP. Not just politics. Only a world. An entire network of friends. Gone. This brings me into Thracia with the heaviest of hearts. FE4 Gen 1 is just the latest edition to games I wish I could forget so I could play them again and feel the same way. Just... Man. Force's Jugdral is only one third of the way done... Thanks for the memories, Gen 1. May your descendants do you justice. Difficulty: C- Overall, I feel like this was too easy. Most of the units you get are really good, and mooks simply aren't challenging. All bosses are doable as long as you don't screw yourself over, but Reptor is simply annoying. Maybe he's easier if you take him on with Tyrfing!Sigurd, Yewfelle!Briggid, or Holsety!Levin, but he doesn't seem like a very fair boss. Also, weight feels horribly unbalanced. I know that the weight system that most GBA players know well wasn't introduced until FE5, but I felt like if some sort of CON or Build stat was in this game things would be much more balanced, especially with Lance and Axe units. Map design: B Considering maps in this game are entire countries, they're done very well. However, there's wasted space at some times, and, as was the case in Chapters 2, 3, and 4, there were cases in which the next castle you're supposed to go to requires backtracking. The map designs or castle order certainly could have been altered in all of those chapters to make the chapters flow better. Soundtrack: A Each chapter having its own Player Phase, and in most cases Enemy Phase, music keeps the air from becoming stale. I especially liked Disturbance in Agustria, which I felt was one of the best and most fitting tracks in the game. The final chapter map music was very fitting in my opinion as well. The player attack music was upbeat enough not to become stale, but not so much with the enemy attack. Boss music was good as well, but not my favorite in the series. Story: C- So far I feel like there hasn't been much reason for things going on, but I feel like things will be fleshed out in the second generation. Overall: B+ I've had quite a bit of fun with this so far, other than giving myself a huge backlog of updates to do. I'll have to see what the second generation has in store before I have my opinion set in stone about FE4. I'll be gone from June 18th until July 14th. The week I get back I'll probably use to relax before starting Thracia. I'll likely make myself a schedule for updates once I get back, since being willy-nilly with Gen 1 updates simply didn't work well, at least I thought. I hope to get at least two chapters of updates per week, possibly three per week at the start due to relative shortness in the early part of the game. We'll see how it goes. If you have any questions at all you'd like to ask, ask them within the next two days before I head off. From future me, past me, Roxy.OS, and Sega, thank you for reading.

Argh, Splatfest starts the weekend I go away. I bet it's gonna be super fun for you all, though! c=

Roy's Final Smash has me sold on him. They got his Binding Blade crit perfect, I think. I like how they had him knocking off Mario's Roy off the screen in the trailer, due to the amount of Roy/Roy jokes I've seen.

Pretty much. I've seen enough people fail the early Escape that I know what's coming there. Work has started on the final update. Hopefully it will be out by June 17. The urge to play Splatoon is real... I'm also looking to see if anyone is willing to create a banner for this LP. If anyone would like to, please PM me.

Will I ever need to save more than three chapters back? I haven't, since Gen 1 recruitment was easy. I'll try not to for the rest.
