nflchamp Posted January 10, 2010 Share Posted January 10, 2010 Well, I didn't really mean to make it as a competition, but since I wrote it all up in order to hold myself to it, I figured I'd turn it into one. Sort of. Whatever. The Rulez General Normal Mode, No Transfers, First Playthrough Lowest turn count wins No Battle Saves – ever All innate skills must be removed ASAP Supporters cannot have the same affinity Characters cannot level up using BEXP, only CEXP (or staffs) 1-2 range cannot be used except by mages No forge No stealing – ever Only one item can be bought from the ‘Bargains’ each chapter Mages cannot use fire (Fire, Elfire, etc.) tomes If a chapter is restarted, a 2-turn penalty is incurred Part 1 SIX characters must be used (no more, no less) Nailah, BK, and LEA cannot be used (exception: BK can be used in 1-9) A character that is being used must be fielded whenever possible. If a character is forced and not one of the characters being used, they must be unequipped and avoid combat If a chacter that is being used is killed, the chapter must be restarted Meg or Fiona must be one of the used characters A magic user (Micaiah, Ilyana, Laura) must be one of the used characters All used characters must be in the same tier (either tier 1 or tier 2) at the end of Part 1 (Micaiah counts as either, laguz levels = 1.5x displayed level and every 20 levels is a tier {displayed level 15 Volug = level 22.5 or level 20/2.5}) Sothe x Micaiah support must be broken ASAP, even if both are used Part 2 Elincia cannot use Amiti or ‘Blades’ (Iron Blade, etc.) Only one of Nephenee or Brom can be used in 2-1, the other must be unequipped and avoid combat Laguz cannot transform in 2-2 ‘Special’ weapons (Killer, Brave, Hammer, etc.) cannot be used Part 3 GM TWELVE characters must be used (no more, no less) Haar and laguz cannot be used A character being used must be fielded whenever possible. If a character is forced and not one of the characters being used, they must be unequipped and avoid combat If a chacter that is being used is killed, the chapter must be restarted One of Tanith or Sigrun must be used One of the CRK must be used One of Rhys or Mist must be used If Ilyana was used in Part 1, she must be used in Part 3 GM All used characters must be tier 3 at the end of Part 3 GM ‘Special’ weapons cannot be used Part 3 DB The characters used in Part 1 must be used in Part 3 DB If a chacter that is being used is killed, the chapter must be restarted Beastfoe cannot be used All used characters must be in the same tier (either tier 2 or tier 3) at the end of Part 3 DB (Micaiah and Sothe do not count, laguz levels = 1.5x displayed level and every 20 levels is a tier) Part 4 – Pre-Endgame All characters who were used in Part 1 and 3 must be used and fielded If any of these characters are killed, the chapter must be restarted Part 4 – Endgame Laguz Royals cannot be used (Laguz Royals are laguz with formshift) One magic user other than Micaiah and Sanaki (Laura, Ilyana, Tormod, Soren, Calill, Rhys, Bastian) must be fielded in Endgame All characters must be withing 5 levels of each other at the end of the game (characters that do nothing in Endgame do not count, laguz levels = 1.5x displayed level and every 20 levels is a tier) There aren't really a set number of people who can do it. It doesn't really matter. I'll make a list of people doing it, though. Ask questions if you want clarification. Or impossibilities, I don't claim to be perfect. If you decide to do it, I'd ask for updates on progress. Nothing complicated, just a where you are and how you are doing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anouleth Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 I'd just like to point out that Fiona is essentially unusable in this. With no opportunity for forges, no 2-range and no BEXP, she's probably not even going to survive 1-8. Combine with the requirement that she be 2nd tier by the end of 1-E. Micaiah is obviously going to be used. She's simply better than Ilyana and Laura for the purposes of this challenge (especially since Laura is so unlikely to reach 20/01). (I think you should just categorically state that all forced characters are usable. 1-P is impossible without Edward, 1-1 is almost impossible without Nolan.)

nflchamp Posted January 11, 2010 Author Share Posted January 11, 2010 I suppose I should give some leeway so you can have no characters you plan on using in a chapter. In that case, you can only use counter-attacks to fight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
