Icon of Sin Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 [spoiler=going for a threefer here] And yet we trust pirates. Mintz dares bicker with old man Eugen. This man is gold. Zoans are like gingers. Runan gets it faster than the old man. That's something you don't see often. Runan is about as excited as I am right now. One bad word and we torch the place. Time for Runan to be bitchy. wait what Man Senay sure is taking a lot of crap right now. To be fair they do deserve it. fresh squeezed bench juice I wonder who took more sips : Arkis or whoever mangled the patch. Narron is a man of ACTION Not proven useful yet and he's the MVP. Weird logic. Sasha fanservice because ikey poo wants it. I probably had sips of wine before her age. Kate is such a party pooper. Damn chaperons. what is she, six? It's even more fun to hear this in the voice of Ozzy. SHAROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON ooooooooh dammit guys Too bad that doesn't come with +10 luck. oh it's THIS guy again Marchen is thinking he's lucky to be alive at this point. Bandits from land and sea uniting against Welt. This looks promising. Such a good scout. Shouldn't that be the archer's role? Wait... Right, the archer has the attention span of a goldfish. Shigen is Christian now? i only kept this pic for you ikey poo Does it involve a pair of plyers and a blowtorch?

Integrity Posted February 9, 2013 Author Share Posted February 9, 2013 [spoiler=map 11 is really boring] Oh yeah, skirmishes are a thing now and I'm commanding this guy. I hate this guy. I'm forced to wonder if Dio intended me to eat all those statboosters on Roger. WELL LET'S SEE WHAT'S WHAT i captured every enemy on the map with this one screenshot Mahter picks a weird place to spawn. I thrash the whole map with her because why the hell not. welp This is not a reload. The mob respawned after I left. ;/ I like to think that the translation team didn't forget quotation marks and that Xeno's just abusing Katri. generally one does not give birth to a dog or a cat TRANSLATION PATCH \o/ I think Katri's using Xeno's moment of weakness to hit on him. This *has* to be some Japanese proverb that got lost in translation. holy shit she's taking advantage of him ...what? This entire scene between Holmes and Shigen is defining Holmes as somebody who pretends to not care but secretly does. Also he swears sort of randomly. He might have a condition. This is Mel's mother, by the way, and I think also Maharaja's mother? I didn't take a picture of it, I don't think, but Maharaja's mother has precisely the same colors and everything. Also, where the fuck did Rodger come from? Shilfiz looks wretched but it also looks like a butchering of the same thing that could have been butchered to get Shylphize or whatever Maharaja's mom's name was. The staff is actually pretty damn useful. But at least Mama was here to make the staff objectively worse. Thanks, Mom. STILL WALKIN' Welcome back. I love this patch. NEW DOOD-POTENTIAL: LIONEL ginger Note how they're exactly the same as they were in MAP 2. Even Luca. sold. Let's kill these guys because fuck 'em. The map is literally this big. I cannot scroll. This game's AI is REALLY weird. About half the units just mill about in the top-left, two-thirds of what's left charge towards me in formation-sort-of, and the remaining units blitz their full move even though I'm out of range. skirmish after skirmish after skirmish 1HKOs are sort of stupid easy to get in this game. This game is sort of stupid easy. holmes says this after every. fucking. skirmish. OH BLOW ME um where the enemies at Okay, actually, that was sort of cool. Since the enemy attacked me, I had to deploy before their units all shuffled onto the map, then they got first move. Nice one, game. wicked sick I like Shigen. FINALLY SUDDENLY, IMPOSSIBLY TIGHT SHIRT this guy talks like my cousin types SUCH WHAT SUCH WHAT MAN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Integrity Posted February 9, 2013 Author Share Posted February 9, 2013 [spoiler=reeeeeeeeally boring] NEW DOOD: SAMSON huh huh scissor NEW DOOD: ALICIA She gets you something nice later, but fucked if I can remember what it was. Shigen gets a bunch of level ups that look like this. Also, the layout for this chapter is objectively bad. Also, this chapter is objectively bad. Lionel mitigates the pain a little bit, by being my only Pilum user. FUCK THIS CHAPTER The game kindly does not start Samson with any 2-range. And then it spawns multiple bowmen on him. He has no choice but to hide in a corner and drink his heal potion until we all arrive. nice. Note that only Lionel can reliably 1RKO these things, and he has to be low health to do it. I don't know where he got the "warrior" bit. why "being actively kidnapped by pirates who probably want to make you a fucktoy" is not a dire circumstance. That's, uh, really specific. AGES LATER hate Note that this boss has a shield AND a silver weapon AND a vulnerary. Not a pussy GBA FE vulnerary, neither. He's got Dawn Brigade shit. wha welp ANYWAY this map doesn't actually end until you open the chest for some reason. All it has is a Hero Crest. holmes you walked past him and unlocked a door for his girlfriend I think Holmes just has a compulsion to open things, he doesn't have any reason behind it. he's kind of a big deal Oh, so Holmes DID notice her? (translator's note: this is not me being cheeky and screenshotting before any words come up. pressing forward just leads to the next page) Good old Holmes. What the f- I did not skip any lines out of this bunch for the sake of comedy. This is the whole of her argument which works on Holmes. thanks you Those were some weirdly stilted introductions OH WAIT HI PATCH Back on the ladies.

Jedi Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 (edited) Woooooooow Translation quality faaaaaaaading. Also Alicia has a Prf? Does every mage in this game have a prf? Edited February 9, 2013 by Maverick Hunter Jedi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PuffPuff Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 (edited) Enjoy the plot. Let me put it in plain English...simple one of the best games ever made. Definitely a hell of a lot better than all the GBA FE titles. =) 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) Holmes. <33 Runan is our HERO and is sort of bland. He has some good moments, though. <3 holmes is a butthole Holmes is number #1. holmes is so random That's what makes both him and Hector interesting. If they were to meet each other, they'd get along great! Kate shows up! Kate is kind of a prude, and she stops being relevant after like I think she's already irrelevant. Kate is trusting and soft as tissues. <3 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. *Tackle gloomps* Yaaay! [spoiler=actually map 1] Pretty standard, really. The interface is kinda clunky but not wretched, and it does have some neat stuff. But first, DOODS: 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. Although it does take awhile to get him better for the later chapters. He will need Wood Shields in the beginning to get him started! 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 Arkis shouldn't be used if you plan to get the Mov Potion in Chapter 26B. As it will involve his death (he will be in your way to the east as he is trying to protect Rina) that is if you are going to get to the treasure in time as the Thief will beat you to it by turn 5. The only other way that you can get this item is through random encounters in Mermel Caves and Morse Tower 5th floor in a random chest. Better Warp SPAM for this so that it doesn't take too much time! 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. Use him if you plan to recruit Leetena. He is needed to get strong enough for Chapter 25 to defeat Mark the Dracoknight. To recruit her will require reading thoroughly through an FAQ as she is needed to satisfy more requirements than any other character in the game. 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. I never used him myself and played this game three times already. I've heard that he lacks in getting luck as everyone else uses him. He does not affect any part of the story either. Damn infantry. x.x One of them is the pimpliest, gooniest motherfucker ever. He's a recurring guy. Codha isn't someone you'd want to meet in a council. xP fuck you kate just fuck you Hello, Katie. =) NEW DOOD: SASHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA Sasha is the best unit in TRS. I don't know if everyone else would agree to us as they often do say bad things about her. x.x 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. Which we won't mention as to why that she does. =P 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/ With her personality, she'll be alright in combat. xD i gotta try this game out some time. A MUSTplay! MAP 3 [spoiler=MAP 3] Our memory cards are delightfully named, and we exchange them between chapters. It's more efficient than exchanging states. It actually will take doing this to get through Map 19 and Top of Morse Tower. As the patch has problems in those parts of the game and will crash the ROM if a clean ROM isn't applied to get through those parts. Gotta play it in Japanese in those parts, but the savestates will not get printed in English if you use a clean ROM to get through the parts as the patch cannot be removed once it is applied. Evidently, if we just had EUGEN and his SWORD we'd be trashing the place like nobody's business. Got that right. Raffin is the best character in the game next to Narron. =) ROGER roger is fucking foxy as hell and he's amazing as a unit And having a wonderful wife to mend his wounds. um that escalated quickly shit No. D= This is Roger's fiancee or something, Mel. Mel is very cute and rather useful. ^^ MAP 3 and I already can't deploy everybody. fuuuuuuuck Ronan is a master tactician. And looking like Leif in the process. =) THIS GUY shows up Great. What do ya want, you bum? that was statistically unlikely Incidentally, many units don't have translated death quotes. Or maybe they don't have death quotes to translate. I don't know. Well...this is all that were going to get if foxstar94 doesn't ever feel like improving the patch and still needing testers and game saves to give to him and inform him. [spoiler=part deux] Butz learns to fight on the ocean? There're a series of skills, the -Fighter skills. Seafighter, City Fighter, Forest Fighter, etc. They give extra movement and combat stats on whatever map type that's relevant. Note that that's different from whatever tile type you happen to be on at the moment. None of them are ever useful when you've got Map 30 to fill up the blanks. =) Mahter is fine as hell and she'll be joining us eventually. Looking alot like Michiru (Sailor Naptune). 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. She should promote at 10 from her Princess class. Sure as hell don't wanna miss Elite. 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. Zeke is like sticks of Dynamite for the first 1/3 of the game! =) 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. True... I believe I had to wait for some strength procs to switch to Devil Spear full time (because nobody else wants to wield that weapon so Zeek might as well go to town with it). Zeek is also the only character that can wield Devil weapons with no backfiring. @Espinosa Indeed. Go like there's no tommorrow with it! =) [spoiler=chapter 5 was ready to go all along] Talky-talky! Surprise! This is Zieg. Or Zeek. Or Zeke. Or something else. I'll probably call him mostly Sieg or Ziggy. Sexy man. <3 This isn't shady at all. Nope. EVEN RONAN SUSPECTS SOMETHING Just cuz he rides a dark stallion wearing black spider clothes. xP BLACK HOLE in action. I'm such a failure that he manages to use it again later but it misses. I sense a disterbance in the force. [spoiler=chapter 5 cont] Maharaja's only things are: he's an asshole and he can't handle girls. Can you blame someone who has never been raised by his father and have been spoiled by being around too many gurls. Alicia points this out later in Chapter 11. also you could stand to sound a little sincere at least "don't worry roger it's ok i'll just molest her while you're gone~" Sincerity never hits hits him as well as his ambitions. YAY MAHTER Someone with great beauty and potential. And since I forgot: NEW DOOD: ZIGGY STARDUST he's pretty cool but he's super shifty Super man. xD NEW DOOD: MAHARAJA fuck him. Seconded. Also this isn't pussy shit like the FE4 arena. People die, man. Never used them. As you already get enough resources from Holmes' route to make them obsolete. Also the only way that Runan's army can get trained infinitely. NEW DOOD: THOMAS he rides in a tank He's pretty shit, honestly. High DEF, though. Sickeningly high. The best part is every conversation until now has referred to him as THE HUNTER OF LOT or LOT'S HUNTER or some permutation. Look at his title. but he does ride in a tank Fuck him. He's a neverused tier character anyway. This is the part where you go "aw, fuck." Enemies in the Arena can spawn with just about any generic (read: not-unique) weapon they want. Including shit like this. You can bring your own weapons into the Arena, though. You can in FE1(NES) too. Except characters cannot retreat. NEW DOOD: ROGER Remember how, two posts above, Dio made some mention of Life or Death being "pretty neat"? It's Wrath, except way better. Roger gets it. He's on a horse. Roger does grow very lousy and will need the skill that Narron can learn at LV12(Promoted) that he can learn at Map 30. (Part one. Because I cannot fit all of these pics in one reply.)

Ginger responds to Kodder with a snappish NO U and Well let him do the honors. um i ok scene cut time @Esther You hate it too, hun. /emo She just wants to watch dat ass. More like you know.... her dad's name is actually Yoda. This is one of the few names that doesn't change. @Julia Got that right, sweetcheeks. [spoiler=let's go!] ice burn @Holmes You said it! Oh boy, Rum time! =D wait, wait where? Translation defection approaching! Which is awesome! ...or he could just be using it as a setup to lord what a great mage he is over her. And he's still a cad. With this, he storms off. Complete with footstep sounds. I fucking hate Maharaja. He's going to get gutted in my next run and I will add him to mah hate FE/TearRingSaga list. =) it's ok you can take refuge in my arms Indeed. Screw him, Meriah. [spoiler=you won the bet if you bet that they would] Poor Narcissus takes several turns to die. Don't let him die. I did this in my first run and have suffered great concequences because of it and they are.... -Couldn't get the items in Map 25 (Hidden in the sands) -Couldn't recruit Bud -Couldn't recruit Mishel. (Upon who is very good!) -Couldn't get Meriah's Aura Rain tome! And she's invaluable with this. don't FUCK with norton Don't fuck with daddy. sigh Don't give up on her. Sure she sucks now. But she will be great in no time after getting an Agi potion and LV20 promotion. Don't need the potion, but I'd give it to her here so she can start doubling alot earlier. Just go and do as you told, boy. [spoiler=the continuationizing] ROUND TWO MOTHERFUCKER More like Yippie kiai. Our first encounter with WITCHES Yep. FE2's back baby!!!! EVERY FUCKING ONE OF THEM has Rewarp as a basic skill. This is precisely as annoying as it sounds. Always being in fear of the AI to target you low Res defensive units. ziggyyyyyyyyyyyy Smexy. <33333 that's it? Fuck that. I stalled for like three turns for that? I always go in this shop. The Far Healing Staves are invaluable at this point of the game! You said it, brother. *bro fist* Hey Integ, Dio I gotta thank you both for getting me into the game I'm only a few chapters in so far, also Integ you are gonna be proud at one of my Sasha's first level ups [spoiler=SASHA! WOO] It doesn't take much to get someone into a game that Shouzou Kaga was meanting to hide an FE game on the Playstation that was at first named Emblem Saga, but was changed to Tear Ring Saga to try to avoid copyright infridgement. But to no avail. Luckily they (Enterbrain) haven't lost the case either after Nintendo filed a dispute against them. [spoiler=map 11 is really boring] Oh yeah, skirmishes are a thing now and I'm commanding this guy. I hate this guy. Yay! Holmes. <3 This is not a reload. The mob respawned after I left. ;/ Yep. The ideal place to train late game characters who's base stats are absolute shit. NEW DOOD-POTENTIAL: LIONEL ginger PLEASE. PICK HIM!!!! sold. Pleasure doing buisness with you, Marlon. wicked sick Her growths suck. She will be RNG raped often. [spoiler=reeeeeeeeally boring] NEW DOOD: SAMSON huh huh scissor Yeah!!!! NEW DOOD: ALICIA She gets you something nice later, but fucked if I can remember what it was. I'm so glad to see you again, Alicia. =) Note that only Lionel can reliably 1RKO these things, and he has to be low health to do it. Heh. =D He got trolled hard. Serves him right! welp Crud!

BBM Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 ALMOST everyone with some type of magical abilities does get a prf of some kind, actually, or something else to set them apart. Lee- magic Jeigan Enteh- Save Staff Plum- Dance + Defence Staff Maruju- Wundergust Mel- Magic Staff Katri- Muse/Neuron Meriah- Starlight/Aura Rain Alicia- Brenthunder Lyria- Sing + Power Staff Rishel- Sunflame Sierra- Warp + Dark Magic Leteena- Silence Staff Rebecca- let's pretend she gets something okay Renee- Warp Staff Tia- Seiken Leda Alfred- barely counts as a unit So I wouldn't say EVERYONE, but it's a good majority of all the magic users of any kind. And if you look at just the unpromoted Mages, it is everyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacLovin Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 Maruju seems to be lackluster compared to rishel or alicia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Espinosa Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 They're about the same. Maruju exists for longer, and both can wield Sylpheed. Brenthunder makes Alicia more appealing when competing for a unit slot. Rishel is easily superior to every other mage in the game when it comes to combat, but costs the most turns.

BBM Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 (edited) In Mintz's chapter, his brigade don't attack you unless you step onto the plain. Then a few turns in, and if you haven't progressed too far towards the castle, he'll start charging for the castle gate. So make sure to stay out of range from the Archer near the castle who is the furthest away from it. As soon as you get in that guy's range, Mintz will leave. While he's going towards the castle, he won't attack your troops, so just make sure to not block his path. Then he'll be recruited at the end of the chapter, after you seize. To also recruit Rennie, you just have to complete the chapter in less than 10 turns, which leaves you a window of only 3-4 turns to do it in after Mintz goes into the castle.

Against slower, tougher foes he can even pick up a Bowgun for stronger, more accurate shots. Plus, he doesn't really face strong military units like Armor Knights and Wood Shooters, which are pretty much all on Runan's route.

Sorta, but that's also because Holmes fights indoors a lot more often due to caves and the tower of Morse. Holmes makes it clear before the first route split that since he can pick his own fights for training purposes (indeed, think FE8 skirmishes) so it's a good idea for Runan to send him his weaker units while he's tackling the Imperial army. This said, chapters 11, 16 and arguably 21 aren't cakewalks and are on Holmes' route, but all three are more annoying than tough and have some workarounds. A trained Barts is highly useful in 11 with Mountain Fighter, while even an untrained Vega can take on chapter 16 with few worries thanks to Shramm, as shown by grandjackal in his playthrough.

Icon of Sin Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 [spoiler=chapter 12 : the encounters are longer than the chapter] The first encounter gives us a bunch of Marchen's Pirates at the Wellt Bridge. Great, Seafighter is in effect. I kinda forgot to give that to him ages ago. As a librarian by trade, this makes me sad. more dodge is always great more muscle less trouble Actually more like a strong, high ranked sword with some critical. Think FE5/8 Battle Axe. And there's even a Persian inspired class to use those later! man this was the 3 stat day itsa-me, holmesy wahoo They spawn pretty fast, but they take a while to actually move. I sold the gold bags waiting for them to get me a second encounter. roger's on speed "I need her to teach me English!" Marchen is thrilled at the meeting of his future brother-in-law. Is she amnesiac or just Lyn-level dumb? Marchen isn't quite interested in sharing his prize. Of course not. He just wants to carve the wedding cake. Interesting logic. his palace is already in ruins no punctuation \o/ I don't know man. There's a dozen dudes against one kid. Surely it's nothing. "What am I? Robin Hood?" "Runan has Narron, not me!" "Well I could be a dragon just for this time." Good thing she has more memory than Goldfish Holmes. free loot is worth thanking for look out we have a badass over here NEW DUDE : Attrom XenoII in a nutshell Shin level \o/ so i ran up behind him with a hatchet smash smash SMASH dex and con +1 someone's a speed demon today Weapon level is at the highest needed now. you didn't get strength yet vega did ;/ at this point it's just raining levels like holmes is raining arrows The Shield Sword is a very funny, if also very frustrating, concept for a weapon.
