FE10 PMCU

[Veracor]

I know I'm a nobody here, but I played through RD for the first time a few weeks ago, then went back to do it again on HM. I feel like I used too many of the same (good) units, so this time I'm going to do a third playthrough using characters that aren't good. You pick which ones for me to use, but they have to be regarded as bad, mediocre, outshined, or throwaway. The only caveat is that I will use Ike occasionally, because I have no idea if a base level Ike is a detriment to the final chapter.

I'll be doing the playthrough using clear data on hard mode with no transfers, and will log screenshots of the playthrough so you can laugh at my torment. An unlisted unit can be fielded if required to recruit someone on the list. Unlisted units can also have their inventory/skills taken from them.

If a chapter ends up not having any characters from the list here, I'll just use whatever to get it done as quickly as possible; so try not to leave me with nobody to use on chapters like Part 2, or 3-P through 3-3.

Onwards! Pick me ALL the torturous agony! (One character per poster as usual)

1). Muarim - The cabbage tiger will force the disciples of order to eat their veggies!

2). Leonardo - The rock with a bow glued to it. DB tends to just roll it around wherever they go. A papercut will kill him too, just like real rocks.

3). Fiona - Fiora's lesser known, and less competent sister. We keep telling her to go outside and move around. She keeps telling us it's nothing but swamps out there.

4). Pelleas - Blue is the color of emo, swords, and dark magic. They might also be interchangeable.

5). Meg - A mutant teddy bear joins the fray! Give her Alondite and she's the tiny and cute version of Black Knight.

6). Lyre - What's that noise? The enemy? The enemy is laughing themselves to death!

7). Astrid - Master of drive-by shootings... with super soakers. Oh Tellius, why can't you have invented guns yet.

8). Lucia - Tellius' only swordmaster barber. Possibly because hair is the only thing she can cut.

9). Danved - Devdan called in sick. Unbeknownst to him, his twin was ready to take over his entire job!

10). Brom - Hugs of chip damage and death, but mostly chips. He may also eat said chips like a hungry martyr.

11). Tormod - He's gone for most of the game because he's been jailed for arson. Just look at that smirk. GUILTY.

12). Nealuchi - There's multiple ways to tell people to get off your lawn, but transforming into a giant bird is not one of them.

13). Oliver - All this guy needs is an apron and a chef hat, and maybe a spatula-shaped knife (SS req of course). Then he'd be top tier!

14). Kyza - I know nothing about this character because I pressed B whenever he appeared on the screen.

15). Rhys - He has a full-time MMO occupation where he charges people for healing them. Small steps... small steps.

16). Vika - Her vacant stare reminds me of whenever I have to explain something computer-related to my mother.

ALL RIGHT WE GOT OUR 16 LEGENDS! LET'S DO THIS!

Part 1 Prologue

CONFIRMING 3 STARS FOR HARD MODE.

What about us, sir? Are we people?

SHE'S GONNA EAT THE BIRD OH GOD NO!

Okay I'm bored time to press B.

And here we have an introduction to our protagonist, the enigmatic ???, as two innocent villagers look at each other. I'm not sure what class ??? is, but I'll be damned if it's another Rapier-wielding noble.

Lady - Known as the "regular-haired maiden". An important member of the chivalrous villagers group, the Drab Brigade. A former maid, who can wash just by touch. She is followed by a small boy, Nico, who seems to understand her. (Lady cannot be recruited)

But boss, there's no village to destroy on turn 0! What do we do?

Your face is beautiful Edward, but you know what would help improve it? A few axe wounds!

Operation Edward Is Edward is now in progress.

Haha, the speed-challenged archer arrives late! I GET IT. Also, if your bird is repeating your location to random people, I'd say trouble is coming.

I'm not sure why I took this screenshot. I think it's to show that Leonardo is now tanking the bandits.

Barrels are an archer's best friend!

YEAH! Leondardo being true to himself!

I used the Dracoshield so Leonardo was taking 5 damage per hit here, but it ended up being unnecessary because he decided to go James Bond instead.

And eventally... Yup another Leonardo levelup!

Unfortunately Leonardo wasn't able to solo the boss unless some crazy 0.001% probability happened in conjunction with bad play, so Edward has to block a few more axes with his face.

And that, with the boss chunking Leo for 15 or so damage, was why he couldn't solo Pugo.

Eddy spams vulneries as Leo shoots paperclips at the ugly guy! THE ADRENALINE OF THIS MOMENT WILL BE SUNG BY BARDS.

What just happened was you ordered a bunch of strange clones to steal things, and they stood in place doing nothing while an archer took 20 hits to the face and kept healing himself with herbal tea. That'll learn you to contract out your banditry service!

You have my sword. And my bow. And this axe lodged in my face.

Umm, we're bellowing the fireplace, sir. The houses are cold.

Sir, we don't have any weapons for some reason. Going down there would just give them experience.

You could try sweeping. ALSO ARE YOU CRITICIZING YOUR PRESENCE IN A GAME SEVERAL YEARS OLD?

Welp, that's Part 1 Prologue. Leo gained two levels and exited at 95xp. I expect to have to use Nolan for at least a few attacks in the next chapter since it's time-based, as much as I don't want to.

So how does this screenshot size work for people? Too small or is it okay?

Edited January 20, 2013 by Veracor

[Rapier]

The screenshot size is nice, at least for me. I'll be following this run.

[Silith]

Just allow Meatshielding in 1-1 and 1-2

[Veracor]

Part 1 Chapter 1 has stumbled into the thread.

Unfortunately I had to use Nolan's right arm a few times to make the turn limit, but only Leo made KO's.

BRB pursuing career in fortune telling.

Our protagonist, ???, has returned to mediate a discussion. Unfortunately Nolan's appearance scares him off.

Ummmm... LEO DID IT! HIS FAULT!

Actually we could give Pass to Lyre and see if that statement holds.

Let's start this with a BANG! I mean a SHOVE!

Yes! Leo was able to waddle one more square and get the map started sooner!

Buuuuuuuut no speed. Sorry still a rock with a bow glued to it.

I don't think that's goodwill you're seeing. There's something else in Edward's eyes right now.

Nolan grabs some herbal tea so he can more efficiently tank before we drop him.

But sir, my hands are full with vulneraries! How would I carry an axe...?

Leonardo picks off another fighter using his one unscathed finger to wield the bow.

AWWW YEAH LEONARDO HAS GAINED A POINT OF SPEED!

Edward shoves him out of the archer's range. We're running out of time.

OHSHI REINFORCEMENTS time to get 1hp Micaiah out of there!

Have you ever tried doing surgery while running a marathon?

Just look at that face, ladies, this guy is in his prime! Once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!

Really cut this chapter too close. But its k, Leo got a point of speed!

WHOA PALM TREES GLOW IN THE DARK

"Aw shucks we don't have any, we'll have to find the axe trade-in counter"

Try the vegetable aisle, on the floor behind the onion basket.

But the houses are 2 spaces wide! They'd need a marksman! (Also, shifting the camera shows they're right next to the marketplace and couldn't possibly have gotten there)

And we aren't even on an airplane!

"I sure hope Nico doesn't have more than 14 hit points."

Gee thanks grampa, you ruined the family photo.

Just honk your horn at them! Sheesh, Daein traffic laws are the worst.

Rated M for Mature.

We sure did, Edward! We really showed them how to run away!

No Nolan does not normally say that. I was checking to see if editing ram would be faster than photoshop to change text. But he should say that.

Chapter was kind of a short Leo-solo so apologies if that is too many cutscene screenshots on the playthrough ratio.

Edited January 20, 2013 by Veracor

[Veracor]

Two chapter updates since they're both short with forced units and I'll have to use Nolan/Sothe a bit because Leonardo's bow is getting low. Looking forward to unfielding units.

Part 1 Chapter 2: Robbing a house

Begnion is big pharma! Dawn Brigade declared socialists!

Wait where are we and how did we get here.

Leonardo's bow is getting dangerously low so we'll have to take some liberties. Still, I'm not going to give any KO's to Nolan.

Whoa Zaitan, demoted from giant MMO boss to a chest guard. I'm sorry guy.

...Or you could just get the medicine yourself and bring it back with you. Jerk.

Edward's base defense is so strangely clutch in all these chapters.

Ehhhhhhhhhhhhhokay.

NO DON'T DO THAT.

"They're after all of our strangely-shaped colorful pottery"!

May as well, right?

SWORDS FOR THE SWORD GOD! HAIL MEG! Also screw the Thani, it has no sell value.

The finest of the finest Begnion soldiers, in the finest of formations.

Oh no it's the carpet patrol! Carpet patrol will beat stupid soldier blockade strategy!

Awwwww yeah Leo's back in business!

The palm tree in its natural habitat, demonstrating camoflauge to the Dawn Brigade.

Our mysterious protagonist, ???, has appeared once again! Unfortunately Micaiah scares him away.

When developing a villain for the story, you should give them characteristics that the player doesn't like. Like squashing birds.

Part 1 Chapter 3: Escape from the schoolyard

Why is there a prison for glaives? Is throwing against Begnion law? Are weapons at fault for being what they are?

THERE'S NO MORE VULNERARIES? OGODNO

"Looks like you have room for one more unit in there. Mind if I join you?"

Now I don't feel completely useless! Just regular useless now!

Waiiiiit... Nope, you didn't borrow a darn thing. Micaiah is just expected to still have her tome.

Kurth, Kurthnaga's beorc twin that travels the world in hopes of distracting archers.

Aaaanyways it's pretty obvious I'll have to take the right road and have Sothe make a few hits, because archer solos are the worst and I can't kill anyone off yet.

"How hard would you like to knock?"

Edward's clutch base defense coming into play yet again.

Aimee also contributes to the fun.

At this rate, Leo is going to promote to an Assassin. And I wouldn't mind, really. Also, inb4 blank levelups for the next 3 levels.

Party at Nolan's house! Rest of Dawn Brigade not invited.

Brave Sir Robin ran away. Bravely ran away, away!

Daniel hasn't heard about those kooks declaring themselves sovereign citizens to try to get away with crime.

If a noble's car could do a liberation army rally, we should one-up them and do a monster truck rally. We're getting a monster truck next chapter anyways!

What will happen when Meg joins the fray? Can we finally stop using shields made of facial hair?

Stay tuned, forks!

[Silith]

Meg is plump.

She takes way too long to propperly cook. She shares Edward's enthusiasm to catch axes with her face. She however does not have the perfect bases to survive.

[Veracor]

Part 1 Chapter 4: Scrooge's treasury

Going to turn on battle animations now since it's finally more than just Leo getting axed.

(The RNG gods were SERIOUSLY with me this chapter, so I expect screwage in the next one)

You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy.

I tremble at the thought of having a character that can counterattack melees.

POOKUMS!

Considering her growth rate, I don't think this is going to be a bad idea.

Nothing much to spend money on so it's time to make some forges!

Meh, I couldn't think of a name.

Well... what flavor of popsicle is pink? Watermelon of course!

(Also, I fed Meg BEXP up to 99)

"You're an ugly word too!"

But no opposible thumbs. Can't count on fingers, can't ride a motorcycle, pay extra on dentist bills... can't even play video games! What a terrible existence.

Hmmm okay, how do we tackle this...

This seems like the right way to do it.

Our first battle, and an instant levelup. Taste the deliciousness of this popsicle, tigerthing!

As I found out on my first try for this, Meg HAS to get +Spd on her first level up or else tigers other than this first one will double her.

While Meg counters and heals, Leo helps out and grabs some extra combat experience.

"You can't have this popsicle! It's mine! I eat it by sliding it through the helmet slits!"

The tiger's mouth and hands just crack me up in this screenshot. I can literally hear the hurr-da-derrrr coming from him.

The first enemy is KO'd, because the first one that attacked ran off to heal. Leo gets close to a level up.

Oopsie, if Meg KO's anything, another enemy will attack her and she'll die. Savestate and switch weapons!

Hrm, guess that RN was realllllly low. At least she doesn't KO the tiger, though.

Leo finishes it off and procs speed once again. Leo, wtf.

Seriously, again?

Leo is doubling tigers, wow. Also this is what the map is looking like.

Meg is now onto cats.

I'll take it.

Sothe finally has to use one vulnerary. Those cat gauges are so terrible.

Oh sure, save your crit for an untransformed cat.

.....Okay.

Because this is the last enemy below the wall, I'm going to let Meg kill this one and then block the other entrance with Leo.

YOU'RE HIRED!

I'm sure it's just a biorythm thing, but this is the first time Meg has 100 displayed hit vs a cat.

And the cat attacking Sothe runs out of gauge once again. Meg can now get the kill on both.

WHAT IS YOUR PROBLEM AND CRITTING WITH STEEL SWORDS.

I decide to tackle the east side first.

This boss is going to be... wait for it... PAINful!

Again with the unlikely stats? I'm starting to regret giving her the energy drop.

Have no fear, Leonardo will steal the boss kill!

...Well he finally didn't gain speed. Slowest archer my ass.

YOU'RE FIRED!

Think I'll save this for Fiona.

Meg is doing some serious cleanup now with her higher stats.

I... wait, didn't you gain this exact same level up earlier in the stage? *checks* YEP!

It's time for some AGONY!

But wait, we want that chest! Leo distracts the boss, and then Meg holds the chokepoint.

Is Meg eating your stats or something? What's going on?

And smell! Someone is cooking chicken!

Awesome, first Leonardo and now Raphael. 2/4 ninja turtles collected!

"I am Master Splinter. My stats are insane and I could solo the game."

Bastian? It's gotta be Bastian. Cats love Shakespeare!

BRB WRITING TERRIBLE AND INAPPROPRIATE FANFIC UNF UNF UNF

Next chapter we'll see what happens when we shove everyone into a corner and let the AI handle itself! Or not!

Oh and I apparently can't post more than 50 images per post. I AM ONE FACT SMARTER NOW!
