I think you were still around for the Riff video, so... Not much. I've been making a Sacred Stones hack. That's about it. I have no plans to add lolis, so I'm afraid it won't appeal to you.

Riff video?

Oh, well...

Heh, well... From your wording I wasn't sure if you'd gotten around to continuing yet.

Yes, Sin of Odio left me quite wide-eyed. Odio's fabulous new form, everyone getting a turn against it, Oersted having a little redemption moment after everyone else was taken down, Gigalovania... Awesome stuff all around.

 

So, now that it's clear I've finished it:

Spoiler

When it started with the first music piece we heard from this remake, I thought we'd get solely a rendition of the main theme, so the composition of tracks we did get in Gigalovania was pleasing in it's larger variety. Course, the fight itself was a bit easier than what we already faced, but it's a fight where you get all the characters on the field at once, that was amazing any way you slice it.

As for the story, first off dangit Squeenix let me screenshot stuff because I'd like to come back to it as needed. Second, I'm going to need a moment to go into it.

*inhale

So, Cube's trial tripped me up a bit with me misunderstanding the mirrors, Sundown's was... well I expected the fight to go a lot worse if I was honest, after seeing the secret bosses I have to say the Headhunter's handled the best of them because he's sent to kill you if you run away from Odio, which was definitely fitting (as an aside, Death Prophet's a neat concept but a pain to force, Lucretius was probably the coolest as a harder fight and due to it unlocking information on the world as it stands and the other boss got bodied because of course it did.). Odio of course is as absolute in humanity deserving to suck a lemon and even gets to calling out everyone for their selfish wants, which of course is plenty rich giving what we know. Then of course the Odio fight was tense, but I thought I'd do a lot worse in terms of damage dealt to me, even with for instance Saint Alathea blasting Oboro to near death. After both phases was the bit where you fight all the bosses and from the original that's the end right?

Nope.

Sin of Odio like I said wasn't all that with the levels I had, but Odio taking Oersted and covering him to protect itself was certainly an image, then Oersted overcoming Odio and fights it was a surprise, showing that he wasn't solely evil all along (but the shame is I didn't overlevel him so he could use his ult in the end)! And then you get the character quote and for all that I debated Masaru feeling appropriate to lead the party, the line he gives to Oersted's genuinely real good and I was happy to have taken the "sub-optiomal" lead. That's where we then get the credits and the new title screen that can't happen in the story but it's cool, shut up. Getting to see Oersted actually confront what he had taken into himself arguably could be considered as undermining the story, but you know what it still works. He doesn't get off scott free, he still passes on, but he actually makes a physical effort aside from taking advice on board. And that was a good call.

The bad ending only showing a dead Oersted as the others leave him there with The Cycle Continues as the end bit..... does that mean Oersted would be resurrected? That the party could be controlled? I'm a bit lost on that.

Gameplay wise, turns out the secret to making Masaru good is giving him a bunch of Sp. Atk. boosting equipment and spamming Worldbreaker, it does work that's for sure.

Any reason to charge into playing all the routes for the endgame other than because I'd want to?

Impossible. Medeus cancels out magic. Luckily I had an almost as meme-worthy contender for the final kill.

Live a Live good. That just about sums it up.

Anyway, yeah. Odio's fight was improved from the original, I seem to recall it being way easier, Sundown's hurricane couldn't quite demolish it in one blow anymore. Sin of Odio was an excellent extra. I agree with your points about Oersted. He tried, in the end, which is pretty great, all things considered.

What do you mean all the routes for the endgame? You mean start as every character? The only major change is their speech to Oersted at the end. They all say some pretty interesting things, but it's better to watch a compilation of that. Too much trouble to play the entire thing over and over just for that.

I'd have to say do that with Tellius, because those prices are definitely something offputting.

I can technically afford the games with the money I'm earning, and it's not like I was going to spend that money on anything super important in my personal life given how young I still am but it's still very hard to swallow to pay that much for just a video game.

In general I wish I could reasonably play all the games on their original console. I usually emulate as a last resort because games, at least in my opinion, feel very empty to play on a PC.

Hurricane definitely seemed nerfed for accuracy at least, alongside none of the parts taking weakness from it (and parts of the first phase just taking the hits and getting to keep on coming). Oersted at least gets a You Tried sticker.

Alright, good to know that there's not something like a yellow screen for clearing all the routes through Dominion of Hate.

I don't know if I'd feel similarly if I was playing Tellius on emulator I used a homebrew Wii for Tellius.

I wish there was reasonable progress with NSO replacing VC by now so that at least that was also an option, but they're still too slow with that and there's still no GB/GBC, never mind 6th/7th/8th gen. Considering VC itself has been left behind of course, but then again that never piqued my interest on the 3DS (As we never got GBA beyond the ambassador program, RIP me).

Homebrew is a good idea actually, I should try that.

Could you imagine if Fire Emblem had all their legacy content just there to buy on the Eshop, at least all games before Tellius. Square Enix has the first 5 Dragon Quest games on phone yet the first 6 Fire Emblem games are still Japanese exclusive.

FE's funny, in that the first game got an English translation that they took away for..... reasons that haven't been explained so we can only assume FOMO for a 32 year old game. And then the Kaga FEs are kinda on NSO in Japan, except for Gaiden and Thracia. Course no other options can be put up through it yet.

It'd be nice to see this change for sure.

Well, depends what you mean by creating custom events. I'm not going full custom hack, but I'm definitely going beyond basic unit stat edits and such. New characters, I intend for a few new maps too, stuff like that.
