Let's Play FE8 with Sky/Phobia

[phobia]

im so tired it's not funny

but I need to do this so let's-a go

[spoiler=selena the camus]

This is one of the harder chapters, butttt I'm going to rush the hell out of it anyway.

oh look it's my last two party members haiii

Gerik's a boss from the get-go, so I guess I'll just send Seth over to help him out? Still need to get a village, right..?

Yeah needless to say this was a cav. SHE SMURDERED HIM.

OKAY, TANA HAS HIGH SPEED AND AVOID AND SHE KEEPS GETTING HIT

unfair.

she dodged an arrow though so it's all good in the hood.

nvm, selena decided to be an overachiever and hit her with 42 hit. -.- Let's back this shit up. Take out the archers ASAP. I also brought Colm this time because I get rennac next chapter. moar pick less prick.

So, Ross is going to take care of the cavs and make his way back after a turn cause he's gonna have like 10 HP, while tana goes to help Gerik.

I think everyone is underleveled.

I will say this now, I think I usually run through Valni completely at least once every playthrough. I may not do that here, but if I end up having low level units I might have to... I dunno. I'll decide when the time comes.

MIS

Nonchalant sidesteps are always appreciated.

Noice.

Critical hit! It's super effective!

I'm so counting on Selena missing again. Please.

She didddd~

Oooh, Lute can support Ross.

dem stats doe.

I gave Tana the Axereaver and it was perfect cause it came down to her with 5 HP vs two fighters and <3

Colm... Neimi died like in chapter 5 or something...

oh, and then FUCKING SELENA HITS TANA WITH 38 HIT.

YOU HAVE GOT TO BE FUCKING JOKING.

And thanks, Selena, now Gerik got a shitty level up.

I just moved her out of Selena's range. Tana, that is.
is it me or are there a whole lot more enemies with killer weapons on hard?

Ross just S'd Axes.

and did this.

And this.
DIE BITCH DIIEEEEEEEEEEE
CRITIKAL HIT~

Ross is on a roll.

MONTAGE OF DEATH AND LEVELZ

unimportant, saved gerik's life, didn't save for a while etc. bye, tethys</3

nailed it.

So, um. Not much left to this chapter. just two brigands and a troubador. Nothing dangerous.

scratch that, one pirate, one brigand, one troubador.
Scratch that, one brigand.

hmm, Duessel will get the energy ring. Lute capped mag at 25. Lol...

and ephraim gets the talisman.

and done.

ew. father and son. i fucking hate this chapter. I'll do it tomorrow, though, if I'm home before like 11. Good night, forest.

[Ronman5]

Wait a minute if you killed Teyths then SOMEONE ELSE GETS TO BE IN YOUR PARTY OF 6

[phobia]

So, sick today, headache too painful to do much

Was asleep/busy yesterday

Was at sleepover saturday

I can promise that I will do something tomorrow, unless something goes horribly awry

[Momentai~]

Feel better soon!

Is it really necessary to deploy and kill characters you're not using?

Wait, how did Colm survive for so long anyway? He and Neimi should have died together. ;-;

[phobia]

Thank you!

No it's not, but it's fun.

I needed him for chests that didn't really show up...

[phobia]

[spoiler=flame on]There are many words which I can use to describe chapter 14 on Ephraim's route.

It's long.

It's difficult.

It's annoying.

It's tedious.

It's ridiculous.

Sure, it seems easy enough, but Rennac manages to sprint through half the map before you can even blink an eye, and as you get closer to the boss you get bombarded by Sleep staves, Berserk staves, and Longbows. And guess what? Berserk staves have a reputation for hitting with low chances.

Literally, fuck this chapter and everything about it.

Vigarde's a pussy, too. The only good part about this chapter is that you get to murder him.

And murder him, I shall.

Flame off.

[spoiler=father and son of a bitch]

I get to spam Barrier here. And that's a good thing.

OH I FORGOT, THE POSITION EPHRAIM STARTS MAKES IT EVEN HARDER TO GET RENNAC! cause now he can't intercept him as easily, so I have to make a wall with Duessel, Seth, and Ross on the other side-- and they all have high str and low Res, which makes them easy pickings for Berserks... Ugh.

Acceptable.

Here's hoping the Longbows don't rape Tana. If they don't, she might be able to cut off Rennac on the right side. Which is great, cause the people on the left don't like getting fucked by mages.

One berserk missed Tana. Do I have any restores?... I do. I'm good to go then, actually. Lol.

Lookin' good, Princey.

I love the sound silence makes.

The staff, I mean.

It whirs, then clicks and the music stops, even if it misses.

Another Berserk missed.

I think I get Hammerne this chapter, which is great cause Ephraim's Reginlief has 6 uses left.

I had to have Lute choke down a Pure Water so she wouldn't be berserked...I really, really hate this chapter.

AND SHE DID ANYWAY. WITH 32 HIT.

Fuck.

This.

Chapter.

moar savestates.

Okay, one's out of Berserks. I still need to tread carefully for the other, though.

Got Rennac. NOW I GOTTA GET OUT OF THERE BEFORE I GET MY ASS ZERKED

Nailed it. Taking Rennac and Tana around to get the chests at the bottom.
Lute's taking on like, the entire first three waves of reinforcements.

And getting nothing out of it.

Except a zerking. The good thing about THAT is that I have no units near her, so she'll just rape enemies anyway for 5 turns. Er, I hope.

Yeah, pretty much. Hopefully not a big deal...

Bowchickbowow.

Lute has 3 HP left .-. But no one to attack. And, she's all better. THANK GOD.

eh.

Oh, secret shop, too. Soon.

This, the hatchet, and uhhhh whatever sacred twin i use up first will get Hammerned.

I hope I can buy some Physic staves on this chapter.

Lute gets the Angelic Robe.

Seven Physics, one Barrier, and three of each of those above.

Um, holy shit reinforcements in the throne room.

Hard mode can fuck itself.

It's turn 41 and I just made it into the throne room. Really.

All Lute needs is a couple of Body Rings and she's set.

Hello. My name is Ephraim Lastname. You killed my father. Prepare to die.

FUCKING OWNED, OH MY GOD

Definitely earned that shit. Time to seize.

Got Garm for Ross and Gleipner for LE BENCH.

Knoll pls go before I keel you off.

anyway, chp 15 maybe later today.

maybe.

[phobia]

I had so much homework i couldn't get anything else done, sorry guise

[phobia]

[spoiler=scarchd sonds]I completely messed up and saved over most of chapter 15, but really all that happened was a few levels.
The thing is, I tried to make a video, but it came out really shitty. So I'll just show you all the stats and give you the low-down:
http://imgur.com/a/IsmJU

Okay, now. I killed Knoll, then let Saleh and Innes die.

This is basically what's left on the map I got the Wyrmslayer and Body Ring, which is going to Lute. Lute might actually die to Valter this up-coming turn, and Eirika's low on HP.

That's really it.

Just got the Swiftsole for Lute, too.

Because Lute is amazing.

But she died. And Gerik looks like this.

Dem 15's.

Lute got a spd and luck level.

Playing it safer now, letting Valter attack her first even though it doesn't help much, rescued Eirika with tana, about to go nab the silver card ASAP, etc.

I waited like one turn too long and there are reinforcements out the ass for Duessel to maul

It's funny cause he's totally fucked.

HP and Spd for seth

Lute crits Faggot McWyvernback and can now help Duracel take on the horde.

Nice.

NOTHING on the level up for Lute.

Fili Shield for Tana, though.

I totally forgot Lute has Physic...

Would've saved a lot of effort.

I need the Warp Staff.

Ross.

Kill Caellach already.

he very well may actually die here.

Or Cael could miss completely and Ross can whack him with a Swordslayer.

Step on that stone, BEEOTCH!

:smug:

That is some manly Str. Seth needs Metis' Tome, though. He's level 8 and SLACKING.

BUT I CAN NEVER FIND THAT PIECE OF SHIT

this could not be more annoying to find

I'm literally right there.

FINALLY

/yawn

No more dick jokes from Seth.

Yay Lute ILY

http://imgur.com/a/LD5bk

Dem stats and wepz tho.

I looked into Nightmare to see if I could skip Stone entirely by giving Crimson Eye some WEXP butttt looks like since this is actually the European copy something's a little fucked up... I guess. It's not working.
Don't ask why this is the EU copy, I'm just a poor american who accidentally downloaded the wrong ROM.

anyway! that's all, folks.

[solrocknroll]

Seth wins least useful award right now.

[Ronman5]

as of now apparently but you didn't answer what I said earlier that since tethys Died and she was your 8th party member will you keep rennac or kill him?

[The Objection!]

You're not planning to use Myrrh? At least don't kill her... I can't bear the sight.

Manaketes are awesome. But seriously, those level ups you got are fantastic.

You got all my favs except Joshua and L'Arachel.

Keep up the good work ;)

[phobia]

Seth wins least useful award right now.

Indeed, he does. But I gave him the Metis' Tome (at least I think I did) and so he should do a LITTLE better, now...

as of now apparently but you didn't answer what I said earlier that since tethys Died and she was your 8th party member will you keep rennac or kill him?

Sorry i didn't answer, I'm gonna use Rennac strictly for opening chests, so I'll keep him around.

You're not planning to use Myrrh? At least don't kill her... I can't bear the sight.

Manaketes are awesome. But seriously, those level ups you got are fantastic.

You got all my favs except Joshua and L'Arachel.

Keep up the good work ;)

myrrh's one of the hardest to kill off, anyway. I never use her because I can't bear to see that Dragonstone's uses drop low, so I won't even bother killing her. For both of our sakes.

for one i was busy friday and then yesterday...

well.. i should go to therapy for my addiction to luigi's mansion's scarescraper or something, i played for like 6 hours...

And I'm playing it again right now

and then I have homework

I might get a chapter in in a few minutes though or later.

I WILL TRY to do two today, which will be almost possible since chp 17 is so short. Then 18 I have a lot to do in... so we'll see.

[phobia]

i was wrong i had a ton of homework but i PROMISE i'll get two done tomorrow

sorry guise ;_;

[phobia]

[spoiler=governed with insanity]

i say good chap

tally ho and that shit

time to smoke some bitches. I'm gonna get this chapter OVER WITH.

leik right now.

one thing I do like about ephraim's mode is that this chapter has druids with eclipse instead of sages with bolting, so that's just laughable. Plus there are mercs and a warrior instead of a bunch of shamans.

This chapter is easier on ephraim's mode.

I promise.

I should really take Garm off of Ross .-. Iron Axes probably 2HKO most of the map anyway with him.

do you even lift

LUTEEEEEEEEEEE

is on the other side of the map.

#roasted

god damn it i missed gerik's level.

0 xp lol

UNTIL NOW I SWEAR I HAD NO IDEA WHAT HUNTER WAS

HE'S HUNTING

FOR TREASURE

scumbag. that's my loot.

lol@everybody moving to attack lute.

Oh god the fucking reinforcements. fuck off, hard mode.

okay, eclipse is a joke but it's a little scary cause it takes a chunk off if it DOES hit, soooo... savestate!

I am going to have to have her use Excalibur because she can't double the SMs otherwise.

the right side is about to get mauled by rangers, tho

and probably purge/sleep so that's not good at fucking all

finally reached 20. good shoe.

dem 19s.

this level is so intense THO

ross is intent on being a bitch

Nice skill for a berserker though if i'm not mistaken.

She also got Res but I just missed it.

all of the huge threats aside from orson are gone or low on uses (eclipse)

gee, i wish i had another staff user because holy fuck excalibur is getting low on uses

talisman for gerik.

all that's left is orson.

ephraim laughs at orson.

Ephraim wins the award for most insanely badass boss killer of all fucking time

and that's a wrap guise

chapter 17 coming up maybe in a few

after this

cause i am definitely hungry. river of regrets is pretty quick though.i might even get 18 in, which will involve a lot of glitching. :D i can't wait. lute's gonna be such a fucking boss.

a slow boss lel

fucking dark tomes weigh like 20000

body rings out the ass pls

[Klokinator]

THAT'S ONE OUT OF TWO

i was wrong i had a ton of homework but i PROMISE i'll get two done tomorrow

WHERE'S THE OTHER ONE DAMMIT

No but seriously, this is a freaking great LP.

[phobia]

this chapter is, imo, one of the best and easiest. even the objective is simple-- kill lyon. don't even have to seize. sure, the enemies are tough, but they're mostly no match for a well-trained army.

[spoiler=grade-a failsauce]

note to self tana's the best unit ever

actually none of the peg knights in the game are slouches either.

crit doesnt ohko...

:/ i love the fliers in this game so much.

nothing surprising.

Gerik's growths are so good I might just class him at 16 or 17 because we're nearing the end and he needs some axe levels for SMASH

smash.

hard mode's almost starting to take a toll on me, though

if only he didnt have scandalously low caps.

the siblings are OHKOing all these druids and are near lyon, lute and tana are on the forts on the left, gerik seth and duessel are stranded in the middle, and ross is heading to the bottom right

tana's gonna die though useless bitch

had to start over.

fuckme

[phobia]

tana was like "lol you thought this was easy. guess what bitch, it's HARDMODE

so Lute's gonna fucking take the left flank herself and she's going to get her ass kicked and she'll appreciate it.

IOFHDSIhazbgvsldzlg hzs;ldithzdjfl iljio

also thanks klok

[spoiler=TAKE TWO]

i'm not even in the mood for screenies

lute's on the fort and everything else is the same. -.- she's about to run out of excaliburs but what the hell ever, she'll have like fenrir soon.

nvm it has 3 uses left.

lets make them count.

jk saving

tana bought some tomes to give to lute. nice girl.

wow

k

ROFL

better than nothing.

eirika almost died.

Repent me of my fury, That I did kill them.

He needed that cause he has to take a hit from Lyon.

He may not have really needed it actually but fuck it.

lol he's fine

he got hit that last turn but then he got a brave axe crit and SMASHED LYON TO DEATH.

fuck that chapter

[Klokinator]

Why the fuck is Tana so terrible for you? So many single stat level ups it's ridiculous lol.

[The Objection!]

Is it just me, or Ephraim just overclassed his sister in almost everything? :o

I thought that Eirika has some pretty good level ups...

Lyon would've had more accuracy if it weren't for those SUPER HEAVY dark tomes.

I'd say that it takes off his potential as a good Final Mini-Boss.

But seriously, this Let's Play is great, considering the fact that I thought nobody else plays FE8 anymore.

[phobia]

FE8 is my favorite ;-; and i know, ephraim is just that boss

Also guys i was home for like all of ten minutes yesterday and today i was just really lazy so i am sorry ;-; tomorrow for sure will be the big day

[phobia]

I am the world's biggest liar i had a national honor society induction ceremony today congrats to me i'll do it tomorrow i promise

Edited May 17, 2013 by phobia

[phobia]

imgur wasnt working and im pressed for time cause i gotta go babysit soon so i had to do it now

so i found this thing

http://www.yogile.com/wc5vjdk9#31m

anyway that's the screenies i took from chapter 18, i got stone and flux and stuff for lute and gerik became a hero and seth got some mediocre level ups

i see 18 as the level that you just get massive EXP on cause it's not a challenge and you can make all the enemies just drop their stuff if it gets too hard

anyway i will try to upload the pics here later but i gotta go so not now

[TheKingOfTown]

When's the next chapterrrrrr???? :(

[phobia]

sorry guys i havent had much computer access as of late

and now i want to explain why i hate 5x

it's kinda long and repetitive, it's too easy, i hate forde and kyle and orson, and it's just... boring. it's a super boring chapter. it's a break from the characters i actually like and it's just boring. it gets on my nerves every time. i love chapter 5 and then they throw in 5x and i'm like UGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHhh this chapter sucks. anyway.

[phobia]

When's the next chapterrrrrr???? :(

Right now.

[spoiler=LOTS OF TANKING GO]

I don't really like this chapter either, but that's because this chapter is really fricking hard. and now I don't have a good tank. At least all of my units are good, though. I also dislike walking around with a thief trying to pick all the locks before he dies so that's another thing. Good thing I saved some chest keys.

or maybe i didn't.

Time for some epic tanking.

Ephraim and lute on the chokepoint I guess? and Duessel and Gerik on the top chokepoint, cause there are less mages up there. Everyone else can either sweep enemies on the right or go get the chests or something.

I dont remember how this chapter works in ephraim mode.

I'm probably not killing Riev.

Let's do this shit.

:3 Lav<3

You can tell Lute's one of my favorites anyway right lol

She's doing so bad...

Dat General.

Does Ephraim usually hit a lot of caps?

I think so.

what a level.

Thank you so much, Autosave. I was about to rage quit.

Like a boss.

Also Lute totally needs fortify which rennac just got.

She's no Ephraim or Lute, but she's ok.

SO MANY FUCKING CLOSE CALLS

I'm so done with this chapter.

Actually what am I doing trying to defeat everything and getting my butt raped every turn? Same enemy every turn pls.

Vulneraries are a blessing.

also this

and are you FUCKING KIDDING ME EIRIKA STOP FUCKING DYING

im not in the fucking mood

thank you

actually eirika sure is surviving a lot more than ephraim

I'm only halfway done with this chapter...

Lute got Luck and Res for a level. she's at 19 wowz

Mother of Chokepoints

I'm actually just trying to get rid of the extra Stone I had lol

HP for gerik

MOTHER OF MEATSHIELDS AND STRENGTH

totally missed eirika's level

That feels good.

I only have time for two chests... I'm thinking Fenrir and Speedwing for Lute cause she's level 19.

Das Bulk

Couldn't have said it better myself.

bai
