  1. Leon: Hey Erwin, wanna betray all your friends and potential love interest to side with us over some ideals that haven't really been explored up to thiss point?

    Erwin on 3/4 of Der Langrisser's stories: lmao sure.

  2. The Der Langrisser stream ended up taking 6 hours because I really wanted to get to the imperial path.

    Spoiler

    The Cho Aniki crossover level was definitely a trip.

     

     

    Vaseline apparently exists in El Sallia. That's neat.

     

    I remembered Cherie freaking about about being muscular...

    But not the implication of the following line 😬

     

    This game does some really weird stuff with fonts. Not knowing Japanese, I'm at a loss if this is reflective of something in the original script.

    This seems an appropriate reaction.

    Also potentially a funny signature image. Hilda may be displaced soon.

     

  3. If anyone here remembers, I started a series of streams for FE4 with (debatably) meme pairings.
     

    Spoiler

    Edain x Azelle

    Ayra x Jamke

    Lachesis x Lewyn

    Sylvia x Chulainn

    Erinys x Claude

    Tailtiu x Lex

    Brigid x Finn

    (note I said debatably, it's hard to come up with a run where every pairing is a meme :v)

    I just finished it, and here's how all the kids turned out in the end, for those interested.

    Hmm, interesting. I wonder where this claim of there being "three greatest" comes from, then. Since while Treasure does say Yudu/Gran is the highest of them all, Lief's mention of Ethnia doesn't say anything of her hierarchical position.

    Maybe they're just inferring since we have a sky god and an earth goddess, so there must be a sea deity on that logic. Not unlike the Zeus+Hades+Poseidon trio and their domains in Greek Mythology.

    From the translation of Treasure:

    "In this world, those called heroes are frequently elevated to the level of lower class deities after their deaths; the high-ranking gods are eternal, the ones indicated by the primal religions as the world builders."

    So someone like Ethnia would be a "higher" or "greater" god than someone like the crusader's, since they're a god of a primordial/fundamental force or element.

    On either option is maybe they confused Yudu/Gran having alternate names with being two separate beings...but given the person who made the chart is pretty invested in Jugdral lore I doubt it.

    Clearly, it's Shanty Pete.

    He's only worshiped in Archanaea, so that can't be it.

  5. I saw an iceberg meme recently about FE (which I won't be linking because some entries are NSFW), and one of the entries struck my attention.

    The entry in question was "Jugdral's Three Greater Gods." For those who weren't aware beforehand, there's apparently a pantheon of gods outside of the Crusaders and Naga/Loptyr/Forseti which are worshiped in Jugdral. They don't come up often in game, though.

    The two I'm aware of are:

    • Yudu/Gran - mentioned in the designer notes for Fire Emblem Treasure. Apparently some kind of sky god.
    • Ethnia - Mentioned in Thracia Chapter 22's opening. Apparently an earth goddess, and significant enough to be the namesake for 2 off-screen characters (Linda and Miranda's mothers).

    But I don't know the third. I'm assuming it's  some kind of ocean god based on the pattern of the first two, but I can't recall who it is or if they were mentioned anywhere in FE4 or 5. They don't seem to be in any designer notes or interviews, at least.

    So questioning anyone who has more knowledge of the situation than me, playing Thracia 776... how screwed am I if I didn't wait around at the end of chapter 4x to steal some new swords off the myrmidon reinforcements that apparently appear? Should I be going back to the save before the chapter to redo it and steal some swords? Or should I be fine to hold out through the next so long until I get another shot at some?

    I've literally never done that. You'll be fine.

    I figured it out.😁

    Good on you! Patches for disc-based consoles seem to be more complicated for some reason.

    The only PSP patch I recall using is the old leaked Zero no Kiseki translation. The <walls>... patch. But that didn't seem that hard.

    Anyway, I hadn't heard of this, surprisingly. I thought I was aware of most of VW's games.

    I see their design sensibilities showing themselves with the witch lady. 😛

    Talking about how PragerU is lying to you is such classic Shaun content. One of my favorite Shaun PragerU responses is at the end of a 2 hour and 20 minute documentary on whether the Bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki were necessary to end World War 2, he reveals that it has all secretly been a response to a PragerU video all along (plus that is just a fascinating look at that historical time period).

    I watched that video but forgot that part

    Classic Shaun

    It's a good video either way. The two hour runtime makes the title even more appropriate.

    That moment when the teacher keeps making you watch PragerU videos in class, so now your Youtube page is filled with politics.

    Wonderful...

    Maybe have an alt account set up so it doesn't affect your recommendations

    Or open in a private tab.

    Idk what browser you use, but Firefox supports "container" tabs that are like isolated browser sessions. That could also be a solution.

    Oh wow.

    The dumbass who made that meme does know that one of those characters is a villain, right? That their awfulness is not treated as a cute quirk by supposedly good aligned characters?

    That's literally the explicit point of the meme :v

    Ayyy, Garo and Norton appreciation! I do find the lack of Berwick disturbing, though... Don't tell me you're one of those heretics who fancy themselves Kaga elitist but don't particularly enjoy his magnum opus...

    I had some Berwick names, just not ones i ended up using on my main team. There weren't that many Pokemon I caught that fit with Berwick characters.

    I had a Pikachu from the Power Plant named Percy, and a second Meowth named Ruby...that was it, I think.
