MrNight48 Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 (edited) From the creator of Corrupt Theocracy, Blademaster! has created a sequel called Sun God's Wrath in Fe8. Looks really good so I am going to LP it and play it blind. I didn't read everything in moniker's LP but I am more of a gameplay guy anyway so not knowing the history exactly is not a big deal to me, I can still get the gist of it. For more information on the lore and stuff go here: http://serenesforest.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=53190 I will be playing this in hard mode to also be somewhat of a beta tester for that mode and provide feedback as I go. Let's get this shit started. Prologue, laying down the story Oh nice, the old screen sync's nicely with the new title. Cause I ain't no bitch NEVER! then I press start, that is going to be his way to get past the fe8 events that are hard to script out. At least we get a preview of mugs/ future characters. STORY TIME! wait is this another possible tale of what the scouring really was in another FE universe? I ask cause this can strangely fit in with nintendo's "explain every series events with the muti-universe theory" excuse lately. ha ha ha ha look at that glorious mug. Reminds me of a villain the Tick would fight. Translation: dragons are useless to me now there is always that 1 damn cult that has to revive something that they don't understand. Reminds me of that anime where this dude revives an anchient demon thinking the demon was going to obey him or some shit like that. the demon looks at him and asks "why did you ruin my thousand year nap?", kills him and says " I'm going back to sleep." "and we would have gotten away with it too! If it weren't for you pesky rebels!" holy shit they came back and succeeded this time. oh the whole "welcome to fe news with jake and anna!" thing is still here. cool. let's see if blademaster refined this oooo Moniker gets free advertising in this hack. I recommend it as well, it is still pretty fucking hilarious last time I read it. how neat! I can just dive right in. oooo so he did refine them and gave them some serious purpose in this hack without it being too immersion breaking. WHAT?! oh so I don't have to worry about the penalties then. Basically this is his way of encouraging the player to not turtle/bait and switch heavily. sweet prize whoa wait are they saying that money is hard to come by in this game? Is this money man's worst nightmare come true? to be honest, I am not really sure what this was about until later on in chapters. so a dude like you was just cannon fodder? That is not good news basically these are the people on my team that huge wall of text for my team but a short nice sentence for his. Honestly the player could have got a sentence here too and all that other stuff could have been little bits and pieces mentioned in the story over time to give depth to the characters. However I get why and will show it soon. anyway we about to be fighting whoa wait this ship is already sailing? I'M THE SHIP CAPTAIN HERE! THIS IS MUTINY! Don't need luck chump to whoop dat ass as a single bitter ex? college dude, don't take my criticisms on their relationship/ tokens of affection too seriously. with that being said; THEIR LOVE, IT BURNS!!! ooo hello there sexy serra, you shall be star of my army (also that black line on top of her hair might need to be fixed up a bit. I still think she looks awesome though) I will ignore all of this and use my own tactics however due note the conversation about weapon advantages. The weapon triangle is actually important in this game in huge ways. ok we finally start. will show the game play later on tonight.

Nintales Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 Just to tell you a few advices : - This game's "incredibly hard" on hard mode. Expect to savestate A LOT. - Chapter 7 is a monster. Be prepared for it will be in your nightmares. - I'd advise you to skip some chapter's rewards to get more exp or simply because it's too hard. If you don't wanna end on the short end for money, just never sell until you really need to buy a thing. - Try to have as diverse weaponry as possible. Weapon Triangle matters a lot there. - Try to early-promote whenever you can. The game doesn't really punish you for that atm. You might have nightmares due to that, but it's fun. Good luck, MrNight! I'll watch this with enjoyment and sadism. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blademaster! Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 Thanks for LPing this! Hard mode isn't balanced yet, but I did take what Ninetales said in regards to chapter 7 and made it a bit easier since the archers now have iron bows instead of steel bows. Other than that, hard mode is still a work in progress. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HF Makalov Fanboy Kai Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 i have not beta tested hard mode, with that said, feel free to do what you need to progress, if you must stop and revert to normal its perfectly fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll watch this with enjoyment and sadism. I see, so what you are telling me is this shit is going to be balls of fun. Plus I am already at chapter 3 since yesterday and have been enjoying myself so far. Thanks for LPing this! Hard mode isn't balanced yet, but I did take what Ninetales said in regards to chapter 7 and made it a bit easier since the archers now have iron bows instead of steel bows. Other than that, hard mode is still a work in progress. Good luck! No problem, I will put feedback in the color purple so you can find them more quickly when you are checking on stuff.throughout the LP. Usually will also have a feedback comment section at the end of each chapter too. I am not worried about it being insane levels of hard, I played project dondon and chaos mode after all ho ho ho Prologue, part 2. I quickly get paid Ok time to meet the characters of my army Currently on my team... assuming she is the "lord" of this hack. Comes with a 50 use light brand I will be abusing and decent erika stats. Also apparently con has a growth rate in this hack so our units may get beefier later on. (whoa how did you get it to show only one 1 weapon type, that is pretty neat) I aprove! Ok so this is kind of explains why the story gave us a bit of exposition on each unit we got because the hack will be using the space in the character info screen to let us know what they can do. Both characters and classes can have skills making each unit we get unique. Also this axe guy is pretty useless with that horrible skill stat he has. Will show why later on. Here we have a pissed off woman who will be the real mvp a lot. Stats ain't bad either, I just hope her growths don't suck. (won't be showing growths till the end, that way we can celebrate on how lucky I am or laugh at how rng screwed I got.) Only healer but what makes her the best healer ever is she comes with renewal. Get magic every level and you never have to worry about getting benched my dove. Best unit in the game 10/10 has the stats, has the weapon choices, and looks good while killing bastards. Adept just makes her broken, "omg plz nerf" said every fucker I will throw her at. Now for the dudes I will be slaughtering and will be joining my side next chapter. Already forgot what patience does but note he is pretty good. Awful jaigen. He will just chip people to feed my other chosen units. At least he has that awesome tough guy frown going for him. Benching you as soon as possible. For now that mana burst and your all roundedness will serve me well. mana burst is like +30 crit I think so he is not useless. I want to train you but your strentgh is shit and to my surprise I do not get you next chapter. Her sister is better anyway. Did not know I get to use guile.... Anyway benching you too as soon as a can. Those stats are kind of meh Now lets get murdering! Katherin crits this guy and one rounds him. Already has proven herself to me. Now to bait nia if you was paying attention, game says to throw a lance at her. That is why, swords lose a LOT of power against lances while lances get stronger. The weapon triangle is to be feared in this game. start my attack on beige in turn 2 while Katherin murders Mikey too. She has already earned the nickname spinning blade of death. Heal up turn 3, the warrior doesn't move so I shall make this quick hahahaha whut? so there are a few exceptions to the triangle and blademaster made slim weapons actually useful. Beige takes a slim stick in his budging muscles that became his weakness Holy crap you are strong. whoa the cloud animation is here. neat! no match for the spinning blade of death however. ok that is not a good sign. damn right because I am here now. the one beyond the void that makes wannabe heroes/heroines into legends. give me a few chapters, I will quickly change your mind. that is what happens when you lose like a punk bitch, you get treated like one DREAMS! also sol's goal is to be cannon fodder in the great war lol 360 no scope pro MLG strats bitches! 3 turns gg On to the next one. Thoughts on this chapter Pretty damn straight forward. Takes awhile to get to the action due to the story but it's well written story so it is not even a problem really. The chapter is still possible to do and nothing bad stands out so its a pretty solid chapter. Edited September 13, 2015 by MrNight48 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blademaster! Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 Cutting down text is something we've been trying to work on, but my editor is currently very busy and I won't be able to get in contact with them for a bit. As it stands right now, there is less text than the prologue of FE6 and FE8 (if you exclude the Anna scene and chapter 1 is shorter as well) but it can still be quite long. In regards to the prologue in hard mode, it's the same as normal mode, just with the +10 hit given to all enemies. The main thing I think I'll need to fix with hard mode is that in chapter six there are some enemies that have 1~3% crit chances that need to be nerfed. I never really noticed that Sol's goal was to be cannon fodder though. That's a funny way of looking at it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nintales Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 Your analysis has some flaws : - Ulysses is the only dude close to a tank you'll have in hard mode. And you'll want a tank. +he promotes to GK, and you know what that means. - Evan's like your lifesaver. ~25 crit on everything is awesome. And with something you can get later on it will grow to ~40 crit. As for the rest : - Relina's actually really strong, but has kinda eww durability. Don't expect her to tank a lot, but with the right choices of weapon, she's really great. - Katherin as long as she has her wo dao is the spinning blade of death for sure. And when she loses it give her effective weaponry so she wrecks things harder. - Nell is not really a staffbot, as her staff rank won't go up until promotion. :D - Astrea's great, Astrea can be your lifesaver, and you'll see why later. BTW, the real "fun" of the game only starts at chapter 4, you'll see why. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HF Makalov Fanboy Kai Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 and yeah Nell's main weakness is that until she promotes she's stuck with heal, which, believe it or not, is not good enough for serious wounds like in other games. and Ulysses as nintales says, is your only real tank, that alone is useful with this said, i disagree on Evan, i've always felt him as underpowered due to those crits never working how i want them too.

She can also use Restore, which is a boon against poison (why do they ALWAYS do the 5/6 damage that kills my units QQ). Evan + thattomefromchapter6'ssecretshop = Straight OHKO most of the times. And even when you don't get crits, magic is strong enough to chip a little bit. At least he doesn't require his promotion to be effective unlike that other mage.

Baldrick Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 (edited) When Evan doesn't get crits he' s doing pretty much the same damage as that other mage. So it's a fairly significant part of his arsenal. Edited September 14, 2015 by Baldrick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrNight48 Posted September 14, 2015 Author Share Posted September 14, 2015 (edited) you guys seriously need to have some more faith in me, I GOT THIS! ch 1, Some more story and preview HAHAHAHAHAHAHA those fucking pyron mugs do not get old oh? Probably about how this hack will handle skirmishes and stuff. what?! omg that is AWESOME! no more of that hold the units together bullshit. best hack 10/fuck support mechanics so I don't even get to train nia. boooooooo At first I wasn't worried about a dude named Kuroth, sounds weaksauce. but then everything changed...nevermind will show him at the end. More exposition dump Starting to see why moniker usually types most of this stuff out. Anyway what this translates to me is "all these people you are going to murder by the end of this hack" oh look, the first batch of future dead people have arrived. you will starve slave trading? damn this hack's story is going ham all of a sudden. shut up nell you ain't the mvp. the real mvp is katherin, especially in this chapter. this was a lie, spearmen were barely able to reach my army. oh...the hack contradicts the spearmen thing too. shut up guile you did nothing here. the chumps promote already? why would- HOLY MOLY I HAVE TO KILL YOU FAST! YOU TOO! Shall be abused in ways not expected. also this reminds me, Sol and Astrea do not have any starting support rank despite being a couple. She can be NTR'd confirmed. That map support already working TuT Edited September 14, 2015 by MrNight48 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ansem Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 i didnt like evan either. magic is not as good as it used to be, and this is for the balancing i guess, but when you damage output is single digits while everyone else with physical weapons is doing better, i dont want you on my team Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And due to how tanky are the armor knights in this hack... +It makes you not having weapon issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrNight48 Posted September 14, 2015 Author Share Posted September 14, 2015 ch 1, part 2: 1st death but Katherin carries the team Forgot to set my configurations. Grey cause I'm so ice cold that when I step onto the field I bring winter with me son. First off I try to visit every house/village for swag. Nell goes to this one cause she is useless right now. 1st chump down due to the spinning blade of death. anna was in the house golden boy starts at. Also the specifics of the weapon triangle. make him start heading for that bishop while I sent Sol on this side towards that house. soon I will learn the true horror of these words. nevertheless I got a red gem evan straight up crits this chick Spinning blade of death kills another dude in enemy phase. yep this guy ignores the axe wielding golden boy for a quick death. surprisingly a good hp tank visiting this house was a mistake oh cool beans, will check that shit out later for now MORE MURDER! Sexy serra got a decent level. basically I throw yang at the back problems of my army most of this shit cleared in turn 2 whoa wait a minute no! no no no! fuck off you overgrown flying lizards he somehow hits her but pays for this mistake dearly, she triggered astra lol look woman are you trying to piss me off so you don't have to be pissed off alone? cause it's working with levels like that. Just look at how insane the weapon triangle can fuck you in this game. they exchange blows. fuck pegasi, never liked their weak ass class anyway. this however I do like. know just the person for this. another astra which lead to chip damage. what is with these levels? now for the next chump boss I decide to kill the archer first. Kath says "fuck you and weapon advantage lances" "I got astra that can activate crit each time bitch!" ow cloud smashing shit then a bunch of reinforcements do not show up on turn 4, just shows the spot they have popped up at. I think evan counter crit kills this loser. That level was suppose to be for sexy serra These fucking levels I swear At least I got 2/3 gems so far This is where I remember the bad part of astra, it eats a ton of weapon uses the last wyvern to take down. I box nell thinking that house would stop it. only to remember it can fucking fly dammit nell +1 back to savestate cause I figured she would have died A better level Sexy serra poking shit ok this time I put her behind golden boy who hasn't seen almost no combat since pretty much every enemy thought they could challenge the spinning blade of death and win. Now there are corpses she has to fight through. guile thinks making himself bigger scares the enemy. he was right, the dude missed. I give golden boy a kill from one of the soldiers that has been slowly working their way down to my group. meh chip em down after trapping that foo "you lucky I don't have a sword strong enough to cut you" gg complete slaughter (ignore that one red soldier standing around and the fact I didn't get to the bishop in time but 2 bosses killed ain't bad.) next is the ending story of the chapter and more feedback Nell +1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrNight48 Posted September 14, 2015 Author Share Posted September 14, 2015 (edited) ch 1, part 3: Money is really important in this game. what? no they are dead like like 24 feet deep dead. like like the whole squad went under cause they was fucked in the down under with weapons dead like like, the only messengers are rats and they can only squeak squeaking to their leader dead like HANGING ON MY WALL DEAD! what is this prisoners concept? I don't do that shit in fire emblem. They either become handsome/pretty by gaining a custom mug so they can join or they die. so what? the red army will snitch at any chance they get? take that back, I am far better than her mother ever will be hope it burns like I am right now so edgy I'M AN ADULT I press start like an adult whoa wait so what happens if i get stuck in between map monsters? time to manage the inventory WHAT?! OMG WHY?!?!?!? THAT VILLAGER WASN'T KIDDING THIS MIGHT BE HORRIBLE! I was expecting 10k gold not 3k T-T Blademaster! on his shit and this is why I call golden boy useless. he is stuck with low accuracy axes Finally on a map. Thoughts on this chapter 5 turns keep it short and sweet. However I question throwing tanky strong wyverns at the player this early. Wyverns are pretty top tier units even unpromoted and throwing 5 of them that early might be a problem. There is also the random spawns coming in (well suppose to come in) that could have been iffy too. Other than this chapter is pretty solid.

Blademaster! Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 (edited) There are two soldiers that show up on turn 4 at the ends of the map in case you didn't notice them, so those are supposed to be the reinforcements.

SilverHairedFreak25 Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 Okay, I'm following this. I played a bit of the early game, and it's batshit crazy hard even on NORMAL mode.

MacLovin Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 (edited) you'll want to use Ulysses. you get nothing else that can sponge hits until midgame. AND YOU DON'T WANT TO DEAL WITH ALL THAT SHIT. also I love the idea wrath being in a game. now i just need to have PARAGON on everything lol. mikey is so good man. his growths are stupidly high. Beige is also really good since he gets a high move, flying class with a crit bonus. Edited September 16, 2015 by Starfox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
