Sooks Posted June 19, 2023 Share Posted June 19, 2023 Jesus Christ surviving that turn was a nightmare. I’ll keep this fight going but I’m probably still stuck here. But like, how do you even do this even if you know what to expect? Wyverns just pop out of the key locations! Even if you abandon the wolf guard, the only possible solution I could think of is waiting in the corner until Vyland’s squad and the wyverns spawn, nuking them all as soon as they show up and praying that the remaining wyverns put themselves in a good position when they show up. But then, if aggro draws on the entire map again, you would probably just get overwhelmed by them and the first paladin squad. But of course, that entire strategy would involve abandoning the recruitables, so I’m just going to brute force it by repeatedly loading a save state to find the one possible formation where they can’t kill me and Vyland can’t suicide.

Sooks Posted June 19, 2023 Share Posted June 19, 2023 Okay, through the most turtling starts imaginable, I actually survived the hordes of enemies, with Roshea and Vyland intact.

Every other promoted class is accounted for, even if some like Swordmaster, don't come until too late in the game. Galle would've fit nicely into that slot. Wait, we also don't get a pre-promoted Sage either. I guess that could've been fixed if Guinivere had been playable... or Hugh came as a pre-promo instead.

Acacia Sgt Posted June 20, 2023 Share Posted June 20, 2023 So, since there's really nothing left to do at work today, I decided to read a fan-translation of the Castlevania novel. Part curiosity, part so I could better think up on how to write my AU. It's been quite the interesting read so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sooks Posted June 20, 2023 Share Posted June 20, 2023 Jesus Christ. So the boss and company are surrounded by forts, and when you step into a zone that surrounds boss and company, they all pop enemies who immediately move. The boss is surrounded by not one, not two, but four ballista! And 2 spaces away from them is where the zone begins! So your only way of approaching the boss without immediately dying is to just… take four ballista hits. Except you can’t because you need to drag Sedgar’s pathetic ass in range of them to recruit Wolf, oor lure him out with a high move unit who will almost certainly die, if you want all the characters. Ballistas have shit accuracy in this game, so my solution was to plop Sedgar down and just shamelessly reset the RNs until he didn’t die, since the game wants to shamelessly ambush spawn me. MEANWHILE, the boss is surrounded by three generals, so I had some units who could take care of them very slowly bait them from outside of the zone for the 10 unit ambush spawn. Lastly, I positioned Marth so he’d just barely be able to reach the throne, Barst so that he could reach the boss, and kept Caeda hanging around so she could do the same. Now if the game was smart, they would’ve just had the general attack Marth and then three ballista go for him and I simply wouldn’t have won, but the AI is stupid and decided to focus on Sedgar instead. So next turn I rushed in the zone and killed the boss that player phase. I had everyone sitting around taking out as many ballistas and such as they could, just for exp, and got ready to have Marth seize. …but I ended the turn first out of curiosity just wondering if my current set up could survive (knowing damn well they couldn’t), and apparently killing the boss stops the reinforcements from spawning. So I got some more exp before leaving from the enemies I couldn’t reach. God damn. RIP Boah. Idk why the game couldn’t just give me another useless unit but alright, this works too. 35 minutes ago, Shrimpy -Limited Edition- said: 'Nam flashbacks True Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that that’s an excuse for ambush spawns, but it makes the game actually difficult playable.

Interdimensional Observer Posted June 20, 2023 Share Posted June 20, 2023 Played only two battles today, I'm reallllly slowing down now, aren't I?😆 -Though I have binged on SRW music when not playing J. Ya know, I did have some respect for the Evil Lady Knight, but that has plummeted now seeing it was her personally who handed over/gave permission to use that. 11 hours ago, Saint Rubenio said: I can't test out the Galle boss replacement, because his appearance event is not there. They fucking hardcoded Galle showing up! Jesus Christ, I swear everything about that guy's just so fucking strange... His character data is in the middle of all the recruitables and everything. If only they'd actually made him playable. Was it really so important to have a shitty-ass Camus? Brunnya was already there! Personally, I tend to prefer a Camus as being not defined not only as an "honorable villain", but as "an honorable villain, who hesitates but does not ultimately betray". The hesitation in their loyalty to evil makes them more tragic, since it indicates they did/had a chance of seeing the light of true justice. Galle... I don't think he ever shows any significant hesitation. Eldigan and Camus (BSFE in particular) do. As for Brunnya, my nitpick with her is we can sense she loves Zephiel, but we do not have a real answer why. With Selena Battlesuicidespar, we have that spiel to Myrrh she gives before she chooses to pick up the Bolting and fight to the death. Brunnya would've been kinda generic if she spouted similar words, but it'd be an explanation, which is more than what we currently have. 8 hours ago, Sooks said: Although man destroyer is an objectively funny name.

BrightBow Posted June 20, 2023 Share Posted June 20, 2023 Ho boy, giving Starlight 2 range allows Saphira to cause so much carnage on the final map because she has much more magic than any of the actual combat mages. Maybe I overbuffed her, but this is still really fun. And buffing her by instead reducing the cooldown of Silence is sadly not an option. Lynette also gets to be able to pick locks. There may be enough door keys, but why make it come down to that when you can just give the ability to the new unit you just got? Also I just wanna give Light Infantry melee units more stuff to do on the final map. Feels like the final map is pretty much all about heavy knights and ranged support units (and Dean). The enemies behind those doors can generally be easily enough dealt with without ever opening those doors by simply attacking over the walls with ranged units. So no need to bring a thief just so they can be engaged at 0 range. But if Lynette has it, it might be more feasible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brunnya would've been kinda generic if she spouted similar words, but it'd be an explanation, which is more than what we currently have. Selena is basically Brunnya done right. Not that she's perfect, but at least we know who the man she loved was and why she still clings to the vain hope that he's still there in some capacity, and when she discovers that there's no way to restore him, she fights to the death not out of mindless loyalty, but a desire for death. Her character is not righteous or even all that bright, but you can understand where she's coming from and why she acts dumb in the way she does. Brunnya's problems are that she has like, three scenes in the entire game - one of which is just trashtalking Very Memorable Villain Roartz - and unlike Vigarde, who is currently a corpse puppet that never had an ounce of evil in him when he was alive, Zephiel is a massive, obvious douchebag completely of his own volition, sob story or no. So Brunnya ends up simultaneously coming across as one of those "I can fix him" memes, and also completely nondescript because she doesn't get enough dialogue to have a personality beyond "generally polite." Great design, though. Not the coolest-looking female boss in the game, that honor belongs to Sigune.
