YO

So ITT, we (yes, we) are going to subject you, the viewer, to TEARRING SAGA. This is an Actually Pretty Okay Game, that I think my partner likes more than I do.

REGARDLESS, the translation patch's later stages makes this 100% worth playing and viewing. If you're bored of the gameplay, bored of the commentary, bored of everything, wait until the later 20s, where the plot will get AMAZING VERY QUICKLY.

I won't reveal who my partner is (except i will: it's mr. blockovich) but he'll be doing the EVEN NUMBERED MAPS while I have the ODD starting RIGHT GODDAMN NOW-

I can't even read the stuff on top of it.

Enjoy the plot.

First thing to notice: note how a country is named Lieve. This will change in this update. This happens a lot through the game, including instances where a character's name in their introductory text will conflict with their portrait. \o/

(yes, it's a beta patch. yes, i will be mean about it.)

TRS_01_26-13_54_52_zps65d2e085.jpg

Second thing to notice: remember how the kid you'll see in a minute was called Ryunan in the last screen? Yeah.

NEW DOOD: HOLMES

holmes is a fucking butthole and the general quality of the translation of his lines makes him even more insufferable. I'll go over his actual gameplay-related stuff when he actually shows up.

(note: i hate holmes)

TRS_01_26-13_55_03_zps0c0471be.jpg

Runan is our HERO and is sort of bland. He has some good moments, though.

TRS_01_26-13_55_12_zps61b79d1b.jpg

HERE is the first namedrop to EUGEN

EUGEN is LITERALLY PERFECT as a character. He will feature very prominently in almost all of my updates, because he rules.

TRS_01_26-13_55_37_zps24c27708.jpg

holmes is a butthole

TRS_01_26-13_56_12_zpsaaf91411.jpg

holmes is so random

TRS_01_26-13_56_24_zps01cb61df.jpg

THIS is EUGEN

BOW before HIS BEARD

TRS_01_26-13_56_38_zps174802d7.jpg

Between scenes, this screen shows up sometimes. It zooms DRAMATICALLY IN on wherever you're supposed to be, scene ensues, then it sometimes (often) repeats. Sometimes, it repeats a lot of times. TRS has really long and really fucking boring interludes.

TRS_01_26-13_57_15_zps65e5f349.jpg

This is Garo. Garo is pretty great.

note: at this point i have been playing for many minutes and haven't actually started the game

with fast-forward active

TRS_01_26-13_57_53_zps707a88f2.jpg

Kate shows up! Kate is kind of a prude, and she stops being relevant after like I think she's already irrelevant.

TRS_01_26-13_57_58_zpsb855b64a.jpg

SASHAAAA arrives

I will gush about SASHA a lot later, but for now I wanted to share this portrait that I don't think ever occurs again in the game.

With that, MAP 1 ACTUALLY BEGINS and now i will proceed to a new post because this update has 58 images so i have to split it somewhere

IF YOU READ THIS IN THE NEXT TEN MINUTES REFRESH OR SOMETHING

[spoiler=actually map 1]TRS_01_26-13_58_46_zpsa832af89.jpg

Pretty standard, really. The interface is kinda clunky but not wretched, and it does have some neat stuff. But first, DOODS:

TRS_01_26-13_59_36_zpsea8e1822.jpg

NEW DOOD: RUNAN

/Ryunan/Ronan. I'll probably call him Ronan most of the time. He's not bad, overall, but he's not amazing. Obviously, we're forced to deploy him in every not Holmes map, so we'll use him.

TRS_01_26-13_59_53_zps133e0659.jpg

NEW DOOD: ARKIS

Arkis is a womanizer and frankly, as far as actual characters go, he's pretty fucking awesome.

HOWEVER, I still haven't forgiven him for NOT ROLLING DEFENSE UNTIL LEVEL 17 IN THE DRAFT

statistically he's a cavalier, with all that entails

he's the fast one, i think

TRS_01_26-13_59_59_zpsa2fb3e0f.jpg

NEW DOOD: KREISS

Kreiss is the serious one who hits harder than Arkis. Also, I don't hate him as a unit yet, probably because I've never used him.

TRS_01_26-14_00_05_zps41b9b16c.jpg

NEW DOOD: GARO

GARO is like pretty good, and he's around the whole game. I like him. My opinions on about 3/4 of the units in this game are between invalid and wrong, though.

Back to Ronan to outline the niceties of the stats screen:

TRS_01_26-13_59_36_zpsea8e1822.jpg

Everything here is pretty standard. Talents outlines skills.

TRS_01_26-14_00_24_zpsd0b93bce.jpg

Page 2 outlines characters the character can talk to, if you're boring like Ronan ...

TRS_01_26-14_00_54_zps6c3b6b36.jpg

... and if you're somebody else it outlines who you get support bonuses from, and how you promote. Promotion items are split, like GBA FE.

TRS_01_26-14_00_28_zps5da2cbb6.jpg

This screen lets you see the historical growth of all of your stats individually. I like it a lot. The red line denotes the unit's current level cap, which raises when you promote. Incidentally, promotion works like FE4, where you make progress towards a final level and promotion is just a strict stats gain. It does raise the level cap, though:

NORMAL UNIT: Level cap is 20. When you promote, it increases to 20 past your current level. You can promote anytime past level 10.

PROMOTED UNIT: Level cap is a flat 30.

There are also stat boosters that raise the level cap, to a maximum of 40 for any unit.

ANYWAY

TRS_01_26-14_00_34_zps3bb15be0.jpg

KILL COUNT SCREEN

I love the kill count screen.

You get tiny bonuses for every 10 kills on a certain terrain, with a certain weapon, and against a certain enemy. Ronan kills 10 monsters on the plains with his sword? Ronan gets +1% hit (and crit iirc) against monsters, +1% against anything while he's on the plains, and +1% against anything as long as he's using a sword. I love the kill count screen.

TRS_01_26-14_00_37_zps71e0f99f.jpg

this screen is pointless but i took pictures of all the other ones and i didn't want it to feel lonely

TRS_01_26-14_02_26_zps3ee2dfc3.jpg

NEXT MOST IMPORTANT THING: Making a good purple is hard as hell in this game.

TRS_01_26-14_04_25_zps6edd79de.jpg

Enemies finally show up on Turn 2. This game isn't quick to wind up.

TRS_01_26-14_04_31_zps9e357b09.jpg

One of them is the pimpliest, gooniest motherfucker ever. He's a recurring guy.

EXPLANATION TIMES

There are some other types of items that aren't weapons that act passively:

TRS_01_26-14_04_51_zpsde2b2aa1.jpg

SHIELDS reduce physical damage by a flat amount. Sometimes, they're lifesavers.

TRS_01_26-14_04_57_zps30fcb5dc.jpg

CHARMS are pretty rare but any unit that dies with a charm equipped has the death nullified and the charm breaks.

TRS_01_26-14_05_20_zps472d0536.jpg

Also one of the generic villager faces is this guy and he's hilarious.

This game has a fucking lot of dialogue and it's all at the "it's kinda generic and not badly enough written to be amazing yet" stage.

TRS_01_26-14_06_20_zpsd9987740.jpg

Also MAP 1 is shit and makes you wait for the drawbridge to go down on like Turn 4. I don't know why, but I hate it.

TRS_01_26-14_06_37_zps36106385.jpg

TRS_01_26-14_06_50_zps42b0c205.jpg

fuck you kate

just fuck you

After this screen, I remember to turn on "show attack distance". Yes, this is an option. I have no idea why you would ever turn it off.

TRS_01_26-14_07_34_zpscb3c07a6.jpg

Ronan talks to Sasha just to have Eugen tell him not to talk to Sasha. Or something.

TRS_01_26-14_07_51_zpsbcd58944.jpg

NEW DOOD: SASHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Sasha is the best unit in TRS.

TRS_01_26-14_07_55_zpsb2a5ac9a.jpg

NEW DOOD: KATE

Kate is sort of shit, and also she goes away for something stupid like 30 chapters in the middle of the game.

TRS_01_26-14_08_27_zps8f939e9a.jpg

I missed this screenshot like 9 times because I'm a fucking moron, so don't mind the LOADED STATE shit. I hope it doesn't break your immersion.

The battle sprites are ...realistesque. Not displeasing, really.

TRS_01_26-14_09_43_zpsd2eecb7b.jpg

dat hair

TRS_01_26-14_09_58_zps59174ed4.jpg

Sasha is sort of shit without massive excess feeding. That's why God invented chipping!

TRS_01_26-14_12_38_zpsc5d5fc92.jpg

Kreiss has a bout with the ACTUAL boss, who isn't the pimply goony motherfucker.

MOON PRISM POWER

TRS_01_26-14_13_06_zpsc82171aa.jpg

Garo hits damn hard, even at 2-range. He never changes niche. This is why I love Garo.

TRS_01_26-14_14_02_zps643935b8.jpg

Kreiss levels up killing somebody. Note that Weapon Level is a stat in this game, that goes up with levels, and it influences what weapons you can use. Like FE3, I think, but I never played FE3.

TRS_01_26-14_14_37_zps98959df2.jpg

TRS_01_26-14_15_00_zps1aad17eb.jpg

Ronan's level sucks, but he doesn't take shit from the boss.

TRS_01_26-14_15_35_zps6fbc5837.jpg

Eugen is on point. Note that canonically the last time the two met was like 10 years ago, and Eugen recognizes Sasha from when she was like 5.

Eugen is so amazing.

TRS_01_26-14_17_36_zps14a40c98.jpg

Also Sasha comes way down the line from Kiefer Sutherland.

TRS_01_26-14_17_00_zpsbfd92080.jpg

Sasha's mom is modestly hot and spends the first part of the game sassing Pimply McFuck.

TRS_01_26-14_17_50_zps08ad3d55.jpg

Raffin arrives! We'll recruit him soon!

TRS_01_26-14_18_07_zps81b3e63f.jpg

Remember Lieve, from the intro? I told you to remember it.

TRS_01_26-14_18_43_zpsbbbf2db8.jpg

Esther is always holding her arm out like that.

Incidentally, I'll take an aside to say that Esther is one of my rare moments of unmitigated praise for the translation patch. The directly romanized named was Estelle, and Esther is just strictly better in every way. \o/

TRS_01_26-14_18_59_zps83838ad0.jpg

raffin is modestly great

TRS_01_26-14_19_44_zps11297e28.jpg

FINALLY we get to the world map. You ALMOST ALWAYS return to the world map between maps. Sometimes you don't. Usually ending a chapter causes a lot of dialogue to happen on the world map, moving anywhere causes a lot of dialogue to happen on the world map, and starting a chapter causes a lot of dialogue to happen on the world map. TRS has too many fucking words.

THAT'S MY PART LOOK FOR THE NEXT CHAPTER SOMETIME I DON'T KNOW WHEN

Conveniently for LTC players too busy seizing to shop, you can visit those at the end of any chapter with those.

Also somehow armories sell staves and item shops sell shields which is a bit backwards but whatever.

Essentially it works like in FE4 where if a weapon is used to kill fifty enemies, it will start to gain critical as shown right here.

However, after fifty more kills, there's a 50% chance the weapon will be cursed and work like a Devil weapon, which will be shown with a red star. If there's a blue star, nothing really happens, but the critical bonus maxes out at 50 in either case.

Keep in mind that some weapons have more than 50 uses at base (Iron Axes are the most common offender at 88) and it is possible to repair them through various ways we'll see later.

Roger is great midgame, but costs a shitton of turns. =(

If you're not playing as fast as you can, I recommend training Sasha. She can become a second flier, with Elite even. Just be careful when you promote her so that she doesn't miss any important skills. Hard as hell to train, though, but feed her kills.

Buying that Hammer is a good idea because nobody can reliably ORKO armours and tanks without it. There's Armorslayer, but you'll want a Hammer for Zeke.

Zeek also has enough STR to start ORKOing them with Devil Spear after a few levels. I find Hammer more useful for your main axe guys like Garo/Barts/Ezekiel than Zeek, even if they have crap accuracy with it.

He's really not that great. His movement is low and his power is rather lacking when he's not using his personnal tome, a direct ripoff of Excalibur, making him more like Marich than Asvel. Among other magicians we have :

Lee, who can use staves on top of decent base combat stats, but low growths and no skills.

Meriah, who has a personnal AoE spell that attacks THE ENTIRE SCREEN (can only be used on turns ending with 5 or 0, and it only has 7 uses). The light magic she starts with is also effectve against monsters.

Alicia, who has a lighter Daim Thunder type of spell.

Sierra, who can rewarp at will and attack on the same turn, making her 3 Movement irrelevent.

And finally Rishel, who has a 1-3 range, effective vs. monsters, +10 Defense tome.

I had to use him for the TRS draft (since dio basically drafted for me) and he's spectacularly average. I had to rely on him for a chapter because reasons and that chapter was a fucking RNG clusterfuck that I hope to never repeat.

Thank Christ that chapter's an even one. Have ats, Dio.
