Let's Play Fire emblem: Chapter 18: The Dread Isle

[sextus the crazy]

Question of the day: What did you think of the prologue? You excited for the main story?

The prologue was certainly an interesting and lengthy introduction to the game! Will we see any of the characters from the prologue later on? I kinda liked them. Looking forward to more of this Let's Play. (And I see Rule 34 has struck yet again)

All of them. Every character in the prologue will show up again. You don't think they would bother to characterize these guys if they wouldn't show up again?

that pic actually showed up in the first row of searches of "fire emblem florina" with semi-safe search on. For a character that will show up later, safe search off for her yielded half of the first page being porn. Which is why I have semi-safe on.

Fair enough. I wasn't quite aware of how Fire Emblem games worked; whether they were several different stories with the tactician holding things together, or one big story arc. And yes, SafeSearch is a wonderful thing to have when you type a character's name from a beloved franchise into Google.

Only Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn really did anything with the split stories idea and the game was a giant clusterfuck of terrrible.

If you're an anime/ JRPG/ Japanese anything fan (like I am), you kinda get used to porn appearing everywhere.

Hey, I liked Radiant Dawn! It's the worst Fire Emblem game, yes, but it's fun.

I didn't mind it that much, either, but I played it on easy mode. It certainly gives you a lot of gameplay. It's just not very good.

[HEADING=2]Let's Play Fire emblem: Chapter 10: The Distant Plains [/HEADING]​

Alright, the final battle (of the prologue) begins!

Spoiler

Because we killed them.

Friends, Lycians, Sacaeans, lend me your strength!

Haha, Wallace could beat the shit out of him.

Enemy?s LUNDGREN?s DRIZZLE caused a downpour!

Florina, you so bitchen.

You get paid on commission, don?t you?

\

Hit Twice in a row by 30%

It?s dangerous to go alone.

I also get paid on commission.

In case you forgot.

Better, Wil, much better.

15spd ? (14wt- 4 con) = 5 AS

He?s going down in a ring of fire.

This calls for some music.

Gotta say, I like Lundgren?s purple armor.

Rescue-drop strategy is pretty good for kiting bosses.

Come on, Hit!

Yus!

Double Yus!

Come on, hit!

Yus!

Double Yus!

A few save states later.

No, It shouldn?t. Rest in Hell.

Badass.

Months?! That?s the slowest fuckin? poisoning I?ve seen in while.

Lyn, in his state, your grandfather is very susceptible to the empty bubble disease!

?Grandpa, we have to listen to my soulja boy albums together!?

?I?m disowning you.?

What?

Also, that?s?

I Know.

?fuck them.

Not my Proudest moment.

My knowledge of the game agrees.

To Lyn only, everyone else knows where he is and just assumes Lyn does, too.

?still hunted by assassins with no protection.

Just to clarify, the last statement means that he gets lost easily.

B(All of them) W(All of them) L(none of them)

It?s over, Bitches! Time for the main Story!
Fuck yeah, let?s do this!

Question of the day: What did you think of the prologue? You excited for the main story?

Wait, that was just the prologue?

Wow. We've a ways to go, don't we?

20 more chapters, not counting the side ones. And they're longer than most of the prologues chapters.

[HEADING=2]Let?s Play Fire Emblem: Chapter 11: Taking Leave[/HEADING]​

Ah? A fresh start with some fresh units.

Spoiler

980 years? That?s really fuckin long time not to fight anyone. Hell, we can?t go a few year without fighting anyone. Also why not 1000 years? Did you want to be different?

I KNOW, mom. Jeez.

The Epic Journey of two men on a quest.

Not even lowen has faith in his own abilities, what do you expect Eliwood to think.

In the opening chapters of a Fire Emblem game? Who would have thought?

Contracted the text virus from Lyn?

Unfortunately, I left my shotgun back in the village.

In the Flesh, Bitches!

It does.

She?d die to the generic guy in the first mission.

Plot Convenience.

Like the Mani Katti, but suckier.

Average stats, average growths. Don?t expect much.

Ok, old man, Let?s see what you can do.

Dayum. B rank in axes despite only being a level 1 paladin.

Seriously though, his growths aren?t very good so he?s not great in the long run. He?s a crutch character for new players and or for use on the hardest mode.

Our third and final cavalier of the game, Lowen. Unlike Sain (who?s strong) or Kent (who?s fast), Lowen is
Defensive. He?ll can cap HP and def if you?re lucky and his resistance is good, but his offenses are
sub-par. He?s like a light mobileTankish unit, good for frontline duty, but not for killing.

Rebecca?s like wil, but sacrifices defenses and some strength for speed and luck.

The only other Rapier in the game is in chapter 28, so save it?s uses.

Pimp dodge.

Free energy ring, awesome!

Bartre, I heard you?re got good speed growths for a fighter and you seem pretty awesome.
I think I?ll use You.

Or maybe not. Come on, 3 speed? No speed growth is worth that.

Excuse me, sir. You seem to have stuck your act in my hair.

Awesome.

Slow archer.

Eliwood, your growths are meh, so these items will help.

Somehow, Eliwood got every important stat in one level up.

Eliwood, why aren?t you sucking?

Well, that?s a lot of money. Also, only vulneraries?

I will never use these.

Time to abuse the boss? health regain and lack range to farm exp.

Pheraen Knights?! In Pherae?!

Well, speed?s pretty important.

Rebecca need?s these more.

Actually, Eliwood needs the defense. He?s a frontline unit, after all.

Hmm. Have I seen you?

Wait. You?re the piss salesman! What are you doing here?

If there?s killing to be done, I?m your man.

Wait, the Piss Salesman has a daughter?

There will be picnics though.

Bismillah, No! We Will not let you go!

Question of the day:

 

[Aircross]

If I could make any game real?

Why not Zoid-, I mean, Fire Emblem?

 

[sextus the crazy]

If I could make any game real?

Why not Zoid-, I mean, Fire Emblem?

Because Fire Emblem games tend to have large wars and/or world changing calamities. That said studing magic at a university or some shit like that would be awesome.

Question of the day:

That's easy: Pokemon. I'll hang out with my Psyduck and my Sandslash and be awesome like that.

 

[StorytellingIsAMust]

Any game? Probably Ivalice from Final Fantasy 12. I have always liked that setting, especially the airships.

To be fair, Final Fantasy worlds tend to have their shit ruined by all-powerful evil beings. I'm not sure how comfortable I'd be entrusting my fate to some random warriors chosen by fate that I've never met.

True, but you could say that about most any fantasy world. Ivalice is kind of in a state of cold war between two empires, but after the events of 12, they seem to be getting on pretty well.

Good point. I haven't played 12, myself. My PS2 can't read discs anymore. Was it good?

Read my mind. I Lurves me some psyduck.

Ivalice did have the videogame come to life charm. I only played through FFTA & FFTA2, but not FF12

 

[sextus the crazy]

Fan reaction was mixed. mainly due to the fact that they changed the combat to be more real-time (A lot like Dragon Age:Origins actually). Square also went with a more serious, politically motivated story. I found it to be quite good, and so did most of the fanbase. But the detractors were extremely loud, and incredibly annoying. Resembled the rage at Bioware over DA2 actually, just because they took the turn based system and mixed it up a little. Also it is very slow to start, with the first six hours being kinda the tutorial phase. It took me 120 hours to finish, but that's partly because I did every bit of side content. So.... yeah good game.

Although with Dragon Age, there was the complaint of "this game feels rushed and unpolished. I didn't see as much complaining about the combat (though it was certainly there).

Exactly the opposite here. Been trying to get my hands on those for years now actually. But they are either never in stock, or just been sold.

At this point you should probably just emulate them (FFTA 1 at least, I don't know your opinion on the DS emulators).

Sounds like a game I would enjoy. Now if only my PS2 wasn't dead.
