Let’s Play: The Last Promise

[DH_Ninja]

I love you guys. Sorry I've been negligent but the good news is the Semester is almost done (Even if most are starting) I'll have alot more time to update when I finish up this week. It'll be worth the wait as always.

And the other good news is I can restart my Fire Emblem Mod Projects without any problem. :D

[Randombobman]

It's the end of the week... where's my update? :3

[DH_Ninja]

Chapter 17x

Because I'm being held at gun point. Here's the next chapter.



We have people to kill and I know you pirates love nothing more than
killing and stabbing an stuff. Right?



...Well. It's a Fire Emblem game? What do you expect? Negotiation every chapter?
Looks like we need to beat this swordsman first.



Kelik: "...Hm. Alright. You're on. If you win or lose you keep anyone you beat.
If I win we get to cross. Sounds 100% fair. I just won't lose."

I like this little tidbit here.

Anyway, Davyback fight. Let's go!



Tekun: WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU BET ME IN THIS FIGHT!?
Anakin: ...zzz. *Stirs* Hm? Where am I?
Kelik: Relax Tekun. You're Immortal, you'll out live them all an-
Tekun: THAT'S BESIDES THE POINT!
Anakin: *blink*
Kelik: ...But no seriously. You'll be fine. Just kill whoever gets in your way.
Tekun: ...But that's Roronoa Zoro.
Kelik: The man get's lost on a straight path. We'll be fine.
Besides your capable enough. Just think of the sword he's using.
It's droppable.



Zoro from One Piece. Fun. 12 Con and he's using a weapon which always does
true damage. Thankfully the hit is low. But the point is, 18 damage flat and he
can double.

This chapter takes a little thinking because you are forced to use Anakin in a
situation where he will be swarmed and all the enemies are strong.



Tekun has STR, Speed and Skill Capped. Otherwise eh.



But no one can use it here. You're a soldier. Promote you fool!



Tekun promotes. I'm not terribly impressed with this. Here's why.
Now I'm going to be biased a little because Tekun is my character but
shut your faces and listen for a second.

+5 HP, while this is awesome it's not all that impressive considering HP is an
easy stat to increase. Most HP growths are high and a thing called Seraph Robe
exist. It gives 5 HP. We'll find them. But it's fine.

+2 Strength, it's awesome on Myrmidons but Myrmidons don't have a high Strength
cap. Tekun will max Strength, guaranteed but it's only a cap of 25. But to be fair,
Tekun isn't like most Myrmidons.

No Skill and No Speed. Myrmidons specialize in this, it's easy to see why they don't
get them. But Skill and Speed are very valuable stats.

No Luck, No one gets Luck ever. This is non negotiable.

+2 Defense. Combine this with 5 HP and suddenly your survivability has gone up
considerably. This is probably the best thing here because unlike HP defense is not
a common growth.

+1 Resistance. What a rip off. Resistance is easily the HARDEST stat to raise out of
most melee characters and Sword masters only get a +1 to it. I would gladly
trade all that HP for another point or two of resistance because at least I'm
guaranteed HP.

+1 Con. Everyone always gets a Con increase when they level up. You can't complain
too much about it because an increase in Con is awesome. It helps because Tekun is
surprisingly a light character.

I could always want more Con though because who the hell doesn't want more Con?
Con is an awesome stat to buff because there's only so few ways to increase it.

Anyway, enough of that.



Tekun: "...What is a child doing with such an incredibly powerful weapon."

Tekun visits another house. Another child with...oddities.



Best parents in the world? Or BEST parents in the world?



Tekun: "After this, You'll be lucky if I leave you in...One Piece."

Zoro: "..."



Zoro: "The first rule, we don't make One Piece Puns."



...This is good. I like this.



Here we learn a bit more about Kelik's brother. There's more but I'm a tease. <3

After this Kelik and company formed a group called the Legend Pirates and went out
to the Grand Line in order to find treasure. The entire group questioned Kelik's
decision making but it was okay. Because money solves everyone's problems.
With enough you can fix any stat problem.

Buhbai for now guys.

[DH_Ninja]

Chapter 18

Welcome back, so soon? Is it a dream?

Well yes. You've been in a coma for the past five years.

IT'S TIME TO WAKE UP!



This made me snicker a little.



Magnians are now a unit of measure. So by that logic a boss is like ten Magnians unless
they're a recruitable boss in which case upon recruitment their value drops.



Well, you were sent to prison for trying to incite rebellion.
Are you really surprised by this?



This took a lot of debate and as much as I hate to make people sit out that
I want to use they need to sometimes so other units can gain EXP.



Someone's confident. :o



So he has a lance that is super effective against Swords.
Reminds me of Gyrados against a thunder based attack.

You know how Flying is bad against Thunder and how Water is too?
Well weaknesses/strengths stack. Electricity SCREWS Gyrados.



Tekun: "But I have a C support with Karina... DON'T DO THIS TO ME!"

Oh it's a promotional item, not a... nevermind.

A small rant. Where the hell are the Elysian whips? I've yet to so much as see
one in this mode and we have three unpromoted fliers and a forth one who was
promoted. I'm tired of guiding rings and knight crest.



Howard seems determined to crush us. It's time we fought.



Asch finally levels up once. About time. To be honest guys, I have been using him
it's just the fact that he's harder to level up because it takes so many fights to
actually do so.



Anakin calls for reinforcements. Need to do this before a certain turn.
"Yeah, let's hope. I mean this isn't war or anything."



"No really? Why aren't we stabbing him yet?"

Good placement for Noah. Noah is a strong unit on his own with a strong equipment
set up.



Cia is getting close to that magical number.



Soldier: *Double checks his weapon* We're okay then.



We learn, or at least reaffirm what occurred in the prologue happened a few
years ago. Certainly interesting.



WOO! We hit it. You know what that means guys?! Also Shon is approaching
that number soon but he won't promote for a while.



People I know want me to use Itsuke. I don't know why.
But this growth reaffirms my want for Cia.



WANT!

Okay so let's look at this Promotion compared to Tekun's.

First off, we hit every stat but Luck. This makes this awesome as is.

+3 HP, I can't complain at all and it's a noticeable boost at least.
+1 Magic. She's a magic dominant stat, some classses don't even get their
dominant stat.
+2 Skill. Also Nice.
+1 Speed. Once again, some classes don't even get a dominant stat and Cia capped
this over Magic. It might have been Luck but...
+2 Defense, combine this with +3 HP and we're golden.
+2 Resistance. Combine this with +2 Def and +3 HP and we have a massive
survivability boost.
+1 Con. Cia is a light character and every class at least gets this.

This promotion is OP. Just saying.



With our purple knight wasted we capture the fort.



Enjoy that speed growth Lirin... Enjoy it. Because I have seen the future and it
is bleak for you.

Now that we're fighting Howard let's see what he has other than glitches.



Well rounded.



Heated confrontation. Hey! Wait a second?!



...Well. That went the opposite of how he expected.



Anakin has a unique conversation here. It's... kinda uninteresting.

"Hey how ya doing?
"I'm okay."
*STAB*



Kelik isn't OP yet but he's strong. This match up is actually interesting at
this point in the story.



...I feel for him. I feel bad now.

STOP IT CIA. STAHP.
This talk is required for something later on.
I like this touch.



This is required for Shon's side quest. We need to face a bully and show him
whose boss.



Shon reminds me of Fox... "Never give up my Son."



THE BOULDER IS WATCHING! DON'T WORRY BROTHER.
BOULDERMANIA IS RUNNING WILD YET!

THE BOULDER IS JUST LETTING OTHERS HAVE THE SPOTLIGHT FOR NOW!



Last hit. Got to last hit.



This punishment for the Magnian Citizens is... UNACCEPTABLE!






Let's end this chapter.



Level 11 Forced Promotion. Well. At least Anakin is a support and not a combat
unit. I can live with this.



"...That didn't mean you had to make me use it now. Asshole."

That's it for now guys!

[DH_Ninja]

Chapter 19

Welcome back to Let's Play: The Last Promise. As always I will be your
loving host. DH_Ninja. Let's get started.



No opening cutscene. Right to the action.



I will never understand what it is about letting animals indoors and on thrones.
It's really silly. Anyway, this boss doesn't seem too tough. And he drops an
Animate Seal. Joy.



I guess he'll be giving this an Earnest effort. HO! HO! HO!



And so will we. This chapter is mostly just fighting your way through without
a time limit. It's one of these chapters where we can go through and fight,
taking our time with the enemy forces. I like chapters like these.



Nothing says "Traitor" like defecting when your commander is
stabbed and flees with his tail between his legs.



THE BOULDER WILL TAKE YOU UNDER HIS BULDGE.



Karina hits max level for her class. <3
This makes me beyond happy. ^^
For now.



Even better. C support. I see romance in the future.
That or stab wounds.



Moar Growths. MOAR!



Rex is fast at growing. We have Knight Seals. Or whatever they are.
I think I know what to do on a chapter like this.

Meanwhile, let's see what our favorite Swordmaster is up to.




It's around this time that Tekun realizes that there will be a plot twist,
just like Fight Club. It turns out they're really the same person.

"We're both about the same height. I'm told I'm a knock off of him. We both
can't swim. We were both betrayed by family....."



Karina: "...But I want to go on more about this."
Tekun: "..."



THE BOULDER IS FINE TODAY! ARE YOU FINE TODAY TOO?
THE BOULDER HOPES SO. HE APPRECIATES YOUR AWAKENING REFERENCES.



I approve of this growth.



These two are good too I suppose.



Sums up their relationship. Moving on.



FINALLY. We get an Elyisian Whip.

Promotion!

I'll take the extra Con for that one less Resistance.
The lack of Speed sucks however. Eh.



Speeeeeed. Wait. ;_;



OH! HO! HO! I made the pun before you. DIE!



Actually we farm off this guy for a bit because I want to promote Rex
for plot reasons.



This promotion is damn good.



I guess we tried more...Earnestly. I'll stop now...please stay. ;_;



That was fast. We'll see what happens with this later.
Howard gets taken captive.



He's dressed in all white. He must be a good guy.



Your tactics are suicidal. You drive everyone to their deaths.
You kill without mercy. You're an awful person.

Your execution will be at dawn to- Oh. He's being promoted.

Dammit.



Since we recruited Rex, we get a side quest. JOY!

See you all there!

[RJWalker]

I had Tekun and Kelik A support with Kelik and Anakin B support.

Dat hax crit rate. It's unfair. For the enemies that is.

[Crimson Red]

THE POWER OF BONDAGES!

[Mage Knight 404]

All of dem supports. S'good, man.

Meanwhile Rex is now Rex Masta.

[DH_Ninja]

Karina and Tekun A support is my OTP for them. =w=

Though Kelik and Tekun is beast also. It was a split decision but I went with what I wanted considering results on m first play through.

[Darkace's Pack]

Where's the patch?

[Garland Chaos]

Where's the patch?

http://serenesforest.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=18554&page=1

[SilverKnight]

After you're finished with this one can you do one for death or glory?

[DH_Ninja]

We'll see. Also. Life has been rather rough on my end. I love writing this thing so don't worry. I haven't abandoned it. It's just that things are difficult right now.

[Jubby]

did you get pokemon

i'm about 90% sure it's going to ruin my life (and grades)

in all seriousness, hope life stops being a bitch to you ^_^

[DH_Ninja]

Well to sum up matters. I'm essentially trying to hold my personal life together due to some complications involving college, my parents, my younger brother and money. There's a lot of ugliness around that I don't particularly care to go into. There's also the matter of me trying to hit Gold V in League of Legends and trying to work on two Fire Emblem Mods. Clash of Fates and (New) Requiem of War. Both of which lack threads and are more or less not going to be around to cock tease people because I'm unreliable for such things.

I want to finish this. I have up to the finale finished and i'll upgrade my rom for the constellation when I do choose to do it. I like working on this and I like that you guys actually seem to care. If no one cares, I wouldn't do this.

[EldinnerPlate]

Oi I just hit Plat V so I can help you get to gold if you want(FootFury). Anything to get this thread going again :'(

[DH_Ninja]

Chapter 19x

Welcome back to Let's Play: Detective Kelik

What are you doing? Using two legs? Hm?!

Wait... I use those.

...

That squirrel seems familiar over there, let's be off.



You'll never get that treasure. Not with Detective Kelik on the case.



...I conclude I must be lost!



WATSON! My dear boy. What has gotten into you?

I thought he was smi- Oh right the game over.

Well! Very well. Gather the men and THE BOULDER.

We'll take care of this. Detective Kelik is on the case! Again.



Let me think on this for a second....

He's trying to bait you into a trap Kelik!

Don't fall for his trick! He's got dishonest eyes!










"Damn! You found out!"




"Nothing escapes Ace Attorney Siegfried's eyes!"

"Now we'll bring down the hammer of JUSTICE!"




Too bad we can't make an arrest.

Unlimited reinforcements. I think we'll use this chapter as a grinding exercise for
some of the less powerful units.

If we need to end this quickly, we can just kill Cid.




Duke Paul arrives for combat.



Holy crap, this guy is built like a monster. I'm surprised that he wasn't
eliminated for demoralization purposes. I guess Magnus really is cocky.



Probably has something to do with my growths.



It defiantly does.



This poor fool gets smitten.



Well, four stats are four stats.



Here's how the chapter is going. We're getting swarmed.



Corben. WHY!?



The old guy gives us a Hero's Flare.
The woman gives us nothing but her thanks.



Asch has an interesting growth here...



I'm starting to feel you're not so bad Itsuke.



And Cid escapes! We ran out of turns! WOO!






























LIKE HELL!























Nominated for Father of the Year. His current competition is Shou tucker.



To be fair guys, RNG destined Tekun to get the kill. One way or another Tekun
was going to critical. I tried to give Rex the kill. I really did.

It just didn't play out that way.

But to be fair, Tekun probably hated his guts.



I can live with this growth.



That's all there is to that ending.

Chapter 19x complete. Max turn limit and Cid death.

See you later.

[DH_Ninja]

When I'm home from work. Maybe we can game. DHNinja is my username. (obvi)

[Mage Knight 404]

Aha, Siegfried _______: Ace Attorney. Would totally play.

[MRDRHAWK]

Hey, I'm not sure if you'd be able to tell me, but do you know where the theme that plays when you fight Fenix is from originally? It's probably my favourite boss theme in the game.

[Lord of Gabriel Knight]

[DH_Ninja]

Any further inquiries will be met with, why don't you check with the sound room and then you tube what you think the song is? Also I hit Gold. So we'll see if I can kill my work load now that I fulfilled one goal.

[DH_Ninja]

Chapter 20

It's been too long.



Couldn't have said it better myself.



I mean...It's not like I'm covering my rear for forgetting.
Again.



Or maybe he hadn't heard the end of losing his kingdom in
an hours time. Or his...position. His something.
Let's just call it his "Cheeseburger".



About why we're using slang or why Shon is allowed to bring in
his ****ing horse. This is a castle, not a stable.



Like father like son. Well. Onwards I guess.



Kick the door in. Smash. Got it.



No more common than John. Which is ironic considering
everyone has a different first name in this company.



Curses. That was our treasure to steal.
First they steal your cheeseburger then they steal your
treasures. Magnus is evil.




MEANWHILE!






Evil guys being Evil. There's irony to come though.



I will eat all the Cheeseburgers. You are not worthy of controlling them.



We can use this on Shon but it's better to use it on Kelik.
Shon will get his moment later.



Howard insist on joining because we had Cia talk to him.



Time skip ahoy! I know we're jumping around alot but...
guys this is a long transition. Last time we had none and this time we
have alot to go through before we get into the meat of the chapter.



If I weren't so unmotivated, maybe this LP would be done.



He crossed the line. Show no mercy. Make fun of his dead friend.



Magnus does like reusing its strategies don't they?



Leopold will be taking care of the King for a while.



Well looks like we'll be killing Zane.
Crap.



Units we'll be using. We're getting down to the wire here so
anyone who I haven't been using is getting the bench.
Sorry. :<



Let's take a look at Zane. He has a support. He has a strong weapon.
He is quite boss worthy. Unfortunately, he's a good guy.



Yue gives us his introduction. He talks about his amulet too.
It's a nice item, gives +10 avoid just for holding it.



He seems okay but sadly he won't see much use.



FINALLY!

Some growths.



+3 Con. All I need to say.



Shuuda. Oh my. What's this?

A perfect Growth?



HAVE A PROMOTION ON TOP OF IT!

Okay DeeAych. Let's calm down.



Visiting houses. We learn Blaine is like Bern and that we're still mistaken.
Welp, moving on. Let's visit that village. Let's send Mark.



That explains the support.



Family. Interesting.

You get a little more insight as to what happened with Sai this way.

But he still won't see much use, just like Yue.



Got an A support. Viewers.
Name the least dangerous weapon you can think of!



This is Sai. He's the worst character in the game.
His bases aren't that good and he doesn't exactly have the con for
axes. Not to mention he comes Late into the game.

Not to mention that it's sort of insult to injury considering that
we have another axe user finally but he's just not fun to use.



More Growths. Only one worth while but we miss out on speed.



PROMOTED LIRIN. A SUPPORT WITH LIRIN.
THE BOULDER IS IN FACT EXCITED ABOUT THIS DEVELOPMENT WITH
HIS WOMAN. THE BOULDER IS QUITE HAPPY.



We don't get an ocean seal for a while and I love Berserkers.
So let's put this seal to use. It cost as much as an animate seal anyway.

+3 Con. I can't complain about this promotion.



I wonder what's up with Shuuda right about now?






Unfortunately I've used up all my Shining Jokes.
And last time we did that it was over dramatic and everyone starred.
No! You can not do it again!

Not to mention the whole, losing all your food due to it and nearly
starving to death because of it.




In any case. I'm sending Tekun and Karina to clean up.



Look at that critical chance.



Level likes crazy with cleaning. Quite nice.



Loyal, but stupid. >> Why does no one ever listen when we don't
want to fight. *sigh*



This reminds me of a video...

Honestly, I don't know why but Zane is a punching bag.



If it makes you feel any better... Strength is capped.



I can't help but feel that if you laid down the white flag that
things would have gone over much better.

Anyway, we have a slight cutscene skip.



HEY LOOK! MAGNUS BEING EVIL!

You going to eat some Babies while you're at it?



It's kinda ironic that you brought a full ground force.
But I digress, THE BOULDER IS THE BEST WEAPON.



Zane's dying request.



Siegfried being an asshole... >>
This is the one moment in the game where I just...facepalm hard.

However, it did let us advance!

Anyway, that's all there is for now. BUH BAI!
