Gold Vanguard Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 Why would you sell someone a box that purposely summons risens? Story wise you see how much trouble they cause to villages and towns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunshineYON Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 What's in those boxes anyway? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tamanoir Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 (edited) My pet theories is that Frederick asked them to do it. Bear with me for a moment. Frederick is the perfect butler. He knows they'll have to face more Risens as a time or another. So, thanks to these boxes, he can localize the problems, and help his Lord to face the problem in a "true" Battle.

Da Bear Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 Think of the locations they're sold in.. The Feroxian gate: They probably realized that you could use the boxes for training. Chapter 13; Plegia is filled with the grimleal they probably worship the risen or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkkfan Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 Chapter 13; Plegia is filled with the grimleal they probably worship the risen or something. This makes sense. Surprisingly, since I didn't expect to find a logical explanation for the topic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VincentASM Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 I never thought about that actually... On a related note, did anybody wonder why people were selling Beaststones and Dragonstones when there's only one Taguel left and barely any Manaketes? There's actually an answer for that one: the vendors value them as jewels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darros Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 Things are nicer when they make sense all round.. right? I mean it makes complete sense from a gameplay perspective, but it's not the only perspective to look at the game from. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fairlee Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 Maybe Anna thinks that Risen has some usefulness, so she distribute them everywhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paladin21 Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 I think that merchants want gold, and the best way to get gold is to keep having enemies. Also, asking adventurers to get the gold that was buried with dead soldiers wouldn't net them good reputation, but getting it from risen...

There's actually an answer for that one: the vendors value them as jewels. But why is Mustafa carrying a Beaststone and Gangrel carrying a Dragonstone? WHY!? And why are they considered valuable when they have an infinite number that they sell for hardly more than high-end weaponry? Oh Fire Emblem, where is your logic?

Dai Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 But why is Mustafa carrying a Beaststone and Gangrel carrying a Dragonstone? WHY!? Plegia is a wealthy nation. I consider that the stones were mistaken for gems, and perhaps were used as part of the royal treasury, and both men just happen to enjoy having such objects among their possessions.

Loki Laufeyson Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 Because Henry made them for the funzies and realized he should try making a profit. "It looks like a smelly box full of grave dirt, but really, when you open it, all sorts of FUN THINGS HAPPEN! Fun things that may actually kill you. Ahahaha. But its really good for getting rid of pesky livestock harassing animals, marauding bandits, and tax collectors! We'll make a fortune!" Thus Anna was intrigued.

bookofholsety Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 the boxes could just be a form of potpourri that's particularly popular for the substance's conventional aromatic use, but also happens to be attractive to Risen. they don't even have to give off a bad stench to work for their gameplay use, really - after all, potpourri is made by letting the substance mould and rot, and what's more intuitively attractive to Risen than something that's mouldy and rotten? :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy_Dingo Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 (edited) Shop owners are serial killers. The boxes have rotting parts of their victims. they sell them as zombie bait. Gets rid of incriminating evidence and makes a profit Behold the face of evil. Look at it. LOOK AT IT!

Book Bro Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 What I find weirder is that my units all pick up random reeking boxes they find littering the battlefield. Like didn't your mothers ever tell you not to play with garbage? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
