But in terms of castle attacks and ambushes nothing tops Thracia 776.
Oh...sextus the crazy said:
Kinda grew on me as I was abusing the arena in chapter 15.
I really hope that some future Fire Emblems will feature the same grand scale as 4 and difficulty as 5. After hearing about them Blazing Sword sounds like a push over.sextus the crazy said:
It is a pushover, relatively. I was able to beat this game using only Sain (lances only), Kent (swords only), Lowen(axes only once promoted), Rath (Bows only), and Pricilla.Aircross said:
Edit: Part of the problem is that the guy who created fire emblem left the studio after making 5.
Looking stylistically at the games that came after, his absence is easy to notice.
[HEADING=2]Let?s Play Fire Emblem: Chapter 14: False Friends[/HEADING]
First difficult map of Fire Emblem: Eliwood story. There?s a horde of units like in Chapter 9, but unlike there, you have to move quickly to Recruit the two characters of this map. I?ve reset this level many a time.
Doesn?t Darin look like he could be the head of one of the criminal ?teams? from Pokemon?
He faces away from the people he talks to; he can?t be trusted!
How did fail at killing him?
Read my mind.
Subtle, Hector, Subtle.
?You?re such a pansy.
Suspicious? What do you mean I?m suspicious.
Smooth, Erik.
You make Hector look tactful, Erik.
We should make our time.
No, that would alter the plot.
Things that anyone with a functional brain can figure out for himself.
Don?t count on it.
Is it? Erk!
Now to the battle!
Yeah, a real fuckin tearjerker.
Haha, yep.
Many Cavaliers later.
Fuck you, nature!
Hells yeah, Erk!
Genre savvy, I see.
Here ya go.
Him? Really?
Poor Erik. He?s pretty fucked.
Hey, a support convo. Too bad it?s not one I wanted to initiate. Hindsight, man
Res is pretty nice, but speed is too.
Oh Teh Noes! Now I can?t get the iron blade!
Fight off Brigands and pirates and you?ll get?
Nice try, Eliwood, but she?s just not interested.
Resistance, plz. You?re about 4 points under par.
Hint Hint, Nudge Nudge.

Who the fuck are you talking to?
Man as much of a greasy prick as Erik is, I feel pretty fuckin? bad for him.
Oh my!
Fuck, that was long!
Question of the day: Erik gets only limited screen time in FE, but he interests me. Do you think it would be interesting to learn more of his story/have more character development?
He had the makings of Fire Emblem's unique take on tragic villains. Too bad he's just exp fodder for both 7 and 6.sextus the crazy said:
On the side note:
You're lucky with your Eliwood. I almost always get screwed with him. My favorite time was when Eliwood turned into Hector stat wise.
And...
I was hoping for Erik to join Eliwood's party for a bit, leading to a dramatic confrontation with his father. I thought it would have been pretty interesting.sextus the crazy said:[HEADING=2]Let?s Play Fire Emblem: Chapter 14: False Friends[/HEADING]

To be honest, I find Erik to be a much more interesting character than Eliwood. Eliwood to me is the epitome of the Bland inoffensive noble Fire Emblem Hero. Honestly I find Intelligent system's inability to make an interesting protagonist is one of their weaknesses.StorytellingIsAMust said:I was hoping for Erik to join Eliwood's party for a bit, leading to a dramatic confrontation with his father.

Radiant Dawn's story was so bad that it made interesting characters like Sothe and Ike and then made them boring.StorytellingIsAMust said:
Sad thing is Radiant Dawn was the first FE game I ever played, so I almost gave up on the series in general because of the story. Each FE game I've played has had story potential that's gone to waste. Story is the only thing keeping FE from being a great series...now it's just a good day.sextus the crazy said:
[HEADING=2] Let's Play Fire Emblem: Chapter 15: Noble Lady of Caelin[/HEADING]
That's right, bitches! We get Lyn! Unfortunately, something bad happened in the process.
Err, yeah. I accidentally wrote over my screenshots for this episode when I recorded for chap 16.
So umm, don't have much in the way of visuals. Luckily, Serenes forest has the complete script for the game so Imma upload that plus the support convos I did.
Sorry, bout all this, It won't happen again.
Narrator:
In Laus, Erik tells Eliwood of a plan. A plot to use Laus as starting ground in a rebellion against Ostia. Eliwood needs proof to believe these accusations, and so he and his allies pursue Darin, the fleeing marquess of Laus. Where that chase would lead, Eliwood could not have known.
(Chapter title is displayed ? Chapter 15: Noble Lady of Caelin)
(Laus Castle)
Hector:
Blast! Where on earth has that snake Darin gone?
Eliwood:
I doubt he's left Lycia yet, but? Hector?it's been five days. The death of Marquess Santaruz? Our attack on Laus Castle? Word of these things must have reached Lord Uther by now. And yet he shows no sign of action? Why?
Hector:
I'm sure he has his reasons. My brother has other concerns tying his hands right now.
Eliwood:
What do you mean?
Hector:
It's Bern. We've received disturbing reports over the past few months. King Desmond is behaving oddly. If he sees even the slightest crack in Lycia's defenses, we believe he'll invade with all of Bern's might behind him. My brother has only recently become marquess, as well as head of the Lycian League. He can't allow another country to see weakness or discord.
Eliwood:
He has to present the face of stability and strength, is that it?
Hector:
Yes. It seems every country has a spy working in Ostia right now. They all want to assess the new marquess's temperament and skill. If they sense anything wrong, word will spread like wildfire.
Eliwood:
Hector, you're the marquess's brother? Would not being at his side be seen as something "wrong"?
Hector:
The marquess's brother is a well-known lout. If I WERE at court, they'd sense something wrong.
Eliwood:
You're not too proud of that reputation, are you?
Hector:
Not in the least.
Marcus:
Lord Eliwood! Lord Hector!
Eliwood:
What is it, Marcus? Have you heard something?
Marcus:
Yes, my lord. A messenger from the east! Castle Caelin has fallen to a surprise attack from Marquess Laus!
Eliwood:
Castle Caelin!?
Hector:
They've struck again.
Eliwood:
Lord Hausen? Is he unharmed?
Marcus:
We've no word on Lord Hausen or his granddaughter, the lady Lyndis.
Eliwood:
I never expected them to attack Caelin? Lord Hausen? Lyndis?
Marcus:
Lord Eliwood, Lord Hector? What should we do?
Hector:
They might still be alive, right? There's only one thing we can do!
Eliwood:
We ride to their aid! There may still be time!
"Meanwhile, thousands of miles away..."
(Castle Caelin)
Kent:
Milady, I've returned, and I have brought news. Laus soldiers are scattered from the castle to the edge of this forest. There must be at least 50 soldiers!
Sain:
Are you sure about this, milady? We barely escaped? Going back to the castle would mean almost certain death.
Lyn:
My grandfather is in the castle. I left the castle on his orders, but? I can't leave him in there alone!
Wil:
The numbers we face? Rescuing Lord Hausen will be no easy task.
Sain:
I wonder if we can expect any reinforcements.
Kent:
I overheard some of the Laus soldiers talking. They claim that Lord Eliwood invaded Laus and drove them out.
Lyn:
Eliwood? Why would he attack Laus?
Kent:
It gets even more interesting? Not only did Marquess Laus abandon his castle, but he also left his son, Erik, behind when he fled here to Caelin.
Sain:
That's despicable! He abandoned his own son?
Lyn:
But at least we know Eliwood is in Laus. We might be able to ask him for help. ?Assuming there were a way to contact him.
Wil:
If we are to avoid being caught, the best path would be through the forest. Shall I go?
Lyn:
I suspect you're right. Horses cannot move well in woods? It'll take you a while, but you can travel lightly?
Florina:
Lady Lyndis! I'll go! I can fly above the forest. I can be in Laus faster than anyone else.
Lyn:
Florina? You can't do this on your own! It's not possible!
Florina:
Thanks to my time here, I'm no longer as timid around men as I used to be. And I've met Lord Eliwood before. I'm sure I can do this on my own.
Lyn:
It will be terribly dangerous? You understand, don't you?
Florina:
Yes. But? I promised myself I would become braver for you. I'm not the weak little Florina I used to be. I'll be fine. Trust me.
Lyn:
You've convinced me. The job's yours, Florina. But you must promise me that you won't try anything impossible!
Florina:
Yes, my lady. Farewell!
(Florina takes off)
Sain:
Did you hear our meek Florina? She sounded most forceful! Beautiful!
Kent:
She's become a full-fledged pegasus knight.
Lyn:
Yes, she has.
Wil:
All for you, Lady Lyndis. That's quite gallant.
Lyn:
When we lived on the plains, I was always her protector. I know I shouldn't feel sad, and yet?
(Laus soldiers spot Florina)
Soldier:
Commander Bauker! There's something in the southern skies.
Bauker:
Is that?a pegasus knight? Where do you suppose she's going? It doesn't matter. We've been told not to let anyone out of Caelin. Archers! Advance! Bring her down!
(Hector's group shows up, Florina approaches)
Florina:
To reach Laus, I must go over the forest?and fly north. Then, I'll have to? Wait! Who are those people? They fly no banner, and yet? Ah! That man in the lead! It's Lord Eliwood! He's come to Caelin's aid! That's wonderful. I have to tell him where Lady Lyndis is waiting!
Hector:
I've spotted the enemy? Why are their archers advancing? They're aiming at something up high.
Marcus:
Lord Eliwood, look! Up there! A pegasus knight!
(Florina swoops down on Eliwood)
Florina:
Lord Eliwood!
Eliwood:
Could it really be? Florina, is that you?
Florina:
Yes! I'm Lady Lyndis's?
Eliwood:
Florina! Fly lower!
Florina:
Wha--Oh! Aaaaaaah!!!
(An arrow whizzes by)
Eliwood:
Florina!!!
Hector:
Oooh!
Florina:
?? Ah?
Eliwood:
Can you hear me? Florina?
Florina:
Lord Eliwood? ?I?
Eliwood:
Those archers almost hit you. You avoided the arrows, but you lost your balance and fell.
Florina:
I'm sorry. I'm such trouble...
Eliwood:
I'm just glad you're not hurt. Tell me, Florina, weren't you with Lyndis?
Florina:
Yes! Lord Eliwood, Lady Lyndis is beyond that forest. She's waiting for a chance to assault the castle.
Eliwood:
She's what!? Ah? Still, it's good to hear she's safe.
Florina:
She's fine. However, Lord Hausen's been captured. He's still in the castle.
Eliwood:
I see. Let's go then!
(At the enemy troops)
Bauker:
Someone get up there and scour the area! I want to know if we brought down that pegasus knight! If she's still breathing, make her stop!
Soldier:
My lord! To the west! We're under attack! It's the Pheraen noble, Eliwood!
Bauker:
He's here, eh? Now's our chance to show Marquess Laus our loyalty. Our opponents are a motley band of fools! They're no match for us!
(Preparations screen is entered)
(End preparations)
(Start of battle)
(Visiting the southeast village)
Man:
Ah, you there! You're Caelin knights, aren't you? Marquess Laus's man, the one called Bauker? He seems like a gentle man, but his skill is near legendary. Do you carry weapons suited to battling knights? Take this if you please.
(Got a Heavy spear)
"A gentle, but strong warrior fighting a losing battle on the wrong side? Combine him with Erik and we got a bitchin' FE7 side story!"
(Visiting the southeast house)
Woman:
Different shops carry different items for sale. If you find something you've never seen, you should buy it, just to try. By the way, have you been to the local shop? If not, you should drop in. My daughter runs the place.
(Visiting the southwest village)
Woman:
You're all Caelin knights, are you not? What? Lord Hausen's still in the castle? Oh? This was to be for our daughter's wedding, but? Here. Please help Marquess Caelin. Our lord needs rescuing.
(Got a Red gem)
(Visiting the house above the shops)
Man:
Weapons are only as strong as the material they're made of. Most of the weapons you have now are made of iron, right? Iron is a poor match for steel, and poorer still for silver! Slim weapons are weaker than iron ones, but easier to wield. Good weapons are expensive, but they're worth the cost.
(Visiting the northwest house)
Woman:
Your company seems close-knit. It's vital to have friends who support and assist you, isn't it? You have to be close to someone if you really want to get along. Stay close to those with whome you're compatible to strengthen your bond. A reading by a fortune-teller will tell you who you're compatible with. But don't become so concerned about it that you forget to fight!
(Lyn talks to Matthew)
Lyn:
Hey! You! You're--
Matthew:
Um? No, I'm not. You've got the wrong fellow? Bye now!
Lyn:
Stop right there, Matthew!
Matthew:
Saw right through my disguise, didn't you, Lady Lyndis?
Lyn:
What are you talking about? How could I not recognize you? You're?you!
Matthew:
Yes, but I had to at least try to fool you. Being memorable is not the best quality for a spy to have.
"What did they expect?"
Lyn:
Spy? I thought you were a thief?
Matthew:
Oops!
Lyn:
What's this about? Come on, tell me!
Matthew:
I can't? It's a? secret.
Lyn:
A secret? Would you have your mouth sealed if you spoke it?
Matthew:
You're very knowledgeable!
Lyn:
Very well, I'll ask no more questions. If you have any trouble, though, you can talk to me. I'm sure I'll be able to help.
Matthew:
Ah?Lady Lyndis? I believe that you are the one currently in trouble. You're either generous to a fault, or?something else altogether.
(Lyn talks to Eliwood)
Eliwood:
Lyndis!
Lyn:
Eliwood?! You made it!
Eliwood:
Florina told us where you were. We're here to help.
Lyn:
Thank you!
Lyn-Eliwood support C
Lyn: Eliwood!
Eliwood: Lyndis? Something the matter?
Lyn: I was watching your swordplay just now. You?re quite good. I had no idea you could handle a sword so well.
Eliwood: I?ve had my share of practice. Just... I?m not sure how well it will serve me in real battle.
Lyn: Where did you learn that style?
Eliwood: My father taught me the basics. Then, I received some instruction from Marcus. I spar once every two months with Hector, too.
Lyn: Sparring, huh? Interested in a new partner?
Eliwood: Who, you? I don?t have a problem with that.
Lyn: Just so long as you don?t go easy on me. I?m very serious when I spar. Wouldn?t want you to get hurt.
Eliwood: Of course, I understand. I?ll be ready.
(Visiting the middle house)
Child:
Are you one of Eliwood's soldiers? You have that look about you. The villagers are saying that you can defeat an enemy in the blink of an eye. When I get older, I'm going to be that swift! Just you wait and see!
Lyn-Hector Support C
Lyn: Hector, got a moment?
Hector: What?s up?
Lyn: Something I heard from Eliwood... You spar with him pretty regularly, right?
Hector: Yup. What of it?
Lyn: I was wondering whether you?d spar with me, too?
Hector: You? I recommend against it. I wouldn?t want to leave a scar on a little one like you.
Lyn: Hey! Just because I?m a woman doesn?t mean I?m weak!
Hector: Nah, this isn?t about being a man or a woman. Just... my armor?s heavy riding armor, see? A swordsman such as yourself wouldn?t stand a chance.
Lyn: My! I see. I get it. So you?ve judged my strength already, then.
Hector: That?s not what I?m saying! Oswin once taught me during training a long time ago: Heavy cavalry and swordsmen are like water and...Hey... what?s with the glare?
Lyn: Hector! I challenge you! You?ll see... You take back those words!
Hector: Whoa...
Wait! I first gotta introduce them to each other!
(Lyn talks to Hector)
Lyn:
Are you an ally, too?
Hector:
Yep, that's what it looks like.
Lyn:
In that case, I have something to tell you.
Hector:
We're a bit busy now. Save it for later.
Lyn:
What? Hold on! Wait just a minute!
(Lyn talks to Florina)
Lyn:
Florina!
Florina:
Lady Lyndis!
Lyn:
You're unharmed! I'm so relieved. Really!
Florina:
Was my service at all helpful?
Lyn:
Of course it was! You saved us! Thank you!
Florina:
Tee hee! I'll do even better next time!
Lyn:
I'm counting on it.
(Lyn talks to Erk)
Erk:
Lady Lyndis, please stay back. I'll serve as the advance guard.
Lyn:
Hm? You? Is that you, Erk?
Erk:
Yes, my lady. A pleasure to see you.
Lyn:
Erk, why are you here in Caelin?
Erk:
For reasons of my own, I've joined up with Eliwood's company. We're here to rescue Caelin. Please, Lady Lyndis, would you kindly withdraw?
Lyn:
My granddfather is in the castle. I'm not going to retreat from this battle!
Erk:
You might be a noblewoman, but you haven't changed at all. Very well, at least stay near me. I'll be your escort.
Lyn:
Thank you, Erk.
Speaking of Erk...
Erk-Pricilla C support
Erk: Lady Priscilla, are you all right?
Priscilla: Ah, Erk. I am fine. Thank you for checking on me.
Erk: Not at all. That is my duty! You... are not tired?
Priscilla: No... No, I?m quite fine, really.
Erk: Your feet, they are not weary? Your shoulders, are they not tense?
Priscilla: They?re fine, really.
Erk: And your belly, is it full? Your throat...dry? Are you sleepy? Or bored?
Priscilla: Erk?
Erk: Ah...yes, sorry. Hard to break old habits.
Priscilla: Eh?
Erk: My last lord was a very willful child, you see. He would call me over the slightest things... That is past now, though... of course.
Priscilla: I see... ... Should...I be asking you to do more, then?
Erk: Oh no, no, this is just fine.
(Lyn talks to Dorcas)
Lyn:
Dorcas! Dorcas, is that you?
Dorcas:
Glad you're well, Lyn.
Lyn:
What are you doing in Caelin?
Dorcas:
I'm working for a Pheraen nobleman. When talk came of Caelin, he gre worried about you. Looks like we got here in time?
Lyn:
Yes, thank you. However, my grandfather is still in the castle.
Dorcas:
I understand. Let's do what we can do.
Lyn:
Dorcas? Is Natalie in Lycia with you?
Dorcas:
Uh-huh. We moved there after I saw it firsthand with you. She's waiting for me now in Pherae.
Lyn:
Really? That's good. I'd enjoy seeing her again sometime.
Dorcas:
She feels the same way about you. Someday? When you've free time, will you come for a visit?
Lyn:
Yes, of course! Once the fighting's done, I'll definitely come see you.
Bartre & Dorcas 3: Revelations
Bartre: I?m sorry, Dorcas... I...couldn?t get you that raise we talked about.
Dorcas: ...Fine.
Bartre: I went to go sock that Eliwood in the jaw... But he just stood there so calmly... He listened to everything I said, then he gave me some fool excuse. I couldn?t even understand half of the words he used...
Dorcas: I?d imagine not.
Bartre: Hey, are you calling me a fool!
Dorcas: Yes. I am... You are a fool, but you are a well-meaning fool. You make big messes, but your heart is good. And I thank you for caring about Natalie and me.
Bartre: Nn... Maybe I?ve taken too many to the head, but what do you mean by that?
Dorcas: ...Forget it.
(Lyn talks to Serra)
Serra:
Ah! Lyn! I'm so happy to see you safe!
Lyn:
Serra? What are you doing in Caelin?
Serra:
I'm with Lord Hector. We've come to save you!
Lyn:
Hector?
Serra:
Oh, come now! Lord Hector! Marquess Ostia's younger brother! He's a good friend of Lord Eliwood's, by the way.
Lyn:
Oh...I see. Well, thank you for coming, Serra. I'm glad to see you again.
Serra:
It's no trouble at all! When a dear friend's in trouble, you have to help. It's a rule!
Lyn:
A dear friend?
Serra:
Don't worry! Social positions never bother me. I know we'll get along fine, Lyn!
(Versus Bauker)
Bauker:
Prepare to fall before your master!
(Bauker dies)
Bauker:
We've been?.defeated? Such a shame?
(After map is cleared)
Eliwood:
Command Bauker? He was a fierce enemy. Lyndis, once we've defeated the remaining foe, the castle's yours.
Lyn:
Thank you, Eliwood. If not for your help, I don't know where I'd be right now.
Eliwood:
All of this happened because we routed Lord Darin at Laus. It's only right that we help.
Lyn:
You explained your motives to me, Eliwood. This is about your father. I would do the same thing in your position. What happened in Caelin is not your fault.
Eliwood:
Thank you. However, until your castle is yours again, I take responsibility.
Lyn:
I understand. Thank you.
Hector:
Eliwood! We're moving into the castle!
Eliwood:
All right.
Lyn:
Who's that?
Eliwood:
Oh, yes. Let me introduce you. Hector!
"For the second time."
Hector:
What?
Eliwood:
This is Lyndis. She's Lord Hausen's granddaughter. Lyndis, this is Hector. He's Lord Uther's brother.
Lyn:
His brother? Really?
Hector:
Yes.
Lyn:
I was watching the way he fights? He's not like you, Eliwood. He's somewhat like my own knights, but different still. He relies so much on power. It's like he's never been?
Hector:
I haven't. I taught myself how to fight.
Lyn:
I've no issue with that, but the way you swing that axe around? You're a threat to your allies! You should be more watchful.
Hector:
What did you say?
Eliwood:
Lyndis? What's come over you?
"Shoe-horned rivalry comes to mind"
Lyn:
Hm? Oh?I? My apologies. I didn't intend to seem so critical.
Hector:
??
Eliwood:
Granted, Hector's style may be a tad dangerous, but? There's no one I depend on more. You may think him careless, but he's always aware of his surroundings.
Hector:
The more you praise me, the less worthy I sound.
Eliwood:
Lyndis, once you fight alongside Hector, I'm sure you'll understand.
Lyn:
I'm sure you're right. I apologize, Hector. I'm honored to have your help.
Hector:
No apology necessary. I'm glad I can lend a hand.
Eliwood:
Let's go inside, shall we?
Lyn:
Sextus! Is it really you, Sextus? So good to see you! Have you been well?
Kent:
Well met, Sextus. Good to see you again.
Sain:
Well! This really is a pleasant surprise!
Wil:
Hello, Sextus! Has it really been a year?
Lyn:
What's wrong, Florina? You needn't hide back there.
Florina:
Um? Nice to see you again. I don't suppose you? Do you?remember me?
Lyn:
Everyone who remained in Caelin speaks of you fondly. We're always saying "I wonder where Sextus is?" Yes?you're right. This isn't the best time to catch up. We're here to rescue my grandfather. Sextus, will you help me again?
(Inside Castle Caelin)
Darin:
Ri? Ridiculous? Even Bauker?
Hausen:
Lord Darin, it's time to give up this madness. Further resistance is meaningless. For what you've done, you may never be forgiven, but it's not too late to try. Tell Eliwood everything. He'll intervene with Marquess Ostia on your behalf?
Darin:
I?I've?lost?
Hausen:
Hurry! Eliwood will be here in no time. Let me speak for you. Gurr? Guaaaa!!
Ephidel:
None of that now. Marquess Laus needs no troublesome advice.
Darin:
L-Lord Ephidel?
Ephidel:
There is no turning back for you now. You should know that. First, Marquess Santaruz? and now Marquess Caelin. Both deaths are on your head.
Darin:
What? It was by your hand that they both died! I-I never asked for this.
Ephidel:
Yes, I killed them? for you.
"Weasel words if I ever heard them."
Darin:
To?trap me?
Ephidel:
Don't be absurd. I follow my master's orders. My only wish is to deliver your dreams to you. The crown of a united Lycia?. And once that is done, dominion over the entire continent. Is that not what you desire?
Darin:
? ? ? Yes? Yes, of course. That dream IS still worth a few sacrifices, isn't it?
Ephidel:
You're exactly right. Our plans may have gone drastically awry, but as long as we have the master's power behind us, we cannot be defeated. We'd do well to leave now, before those meddlesome worms arrive. You will leave everyone from Laus behind. We will use them to delay our foe.
Darin:
Everyone? My soldiers? But?who will protect me?
Ephidel:
The Black Fang and I will more than suffice for that task. There is nothing else you need, I assure you.
Darin:
Yes?I?I see that now. Where do we go from here?
Ephidel:
To the Dragon's Gate? Our master awaits us there. The master has informed me our hostage may be all we need. If all goes well, we may be able to perform the ceremony with him alone.
Darin:
Oh! Is that so? I suppose we've nothing to worry about.
Ephidel:
That is correct. Now please, begin your retreat. I have two or three orders to give, then I will be right behind you.
(Darin leaves)
Ephidel:
Pathetic imbecile? Leila? Where are you?
Leila:
I'm here.
Ephidel:
While Eliwood is occupied, finish off Marquess Caelin and hide the body. The enemy will waste precious time searching for him.
Leila:
As you command?
Ephidel:
You know, you've only been with the Black Fang a short while. However, you are quite skilled? I look forward to watching you.
Leila:
Yes, sir.
Sorry you had to put up with this, There will be images next time!
Question of the day: I put out a new chapter about once a day. Is this too fast for you all or should I continue at this speed?
Oh good, then I'll get the next chap up tonight. Sorry bout the lack of picturesStorytellingIsAMust said:
[HEADING=2]Let's Play Fire Emblem: Chapter 16: Whereabouts Unknown[/HEADING]
We brave castle Caelin... And we know exactly where we are!
Wow. Laus really loves magically resistant armor units. Too bad St. Bernard here doesn't have any ranged weapons.
Because they'll run off and kill themselves.
According to this picture combined with Lyn's estimate of "half the soldiers remain"
I can posit that Caelin had a defense force of 6 soldiers.
Granted, Sain seemed pretty impressed that Laus had 50 soldiers in the earlier chapter.
You sure like strength, Sain.
I'm in here with you too, dumbass.
Mommy and Daddy are talking.
And I have nothing to give you!
I will search out Hector, by standing still!
Hector has a way with the ladies. Not a good way, but still a way.
And you were doing so well, Lyn...
Eliwood is a baus.
Strength!
Take them, It's dangerous to go alone.
Yeah...About him...

Woot! We get Raven! He's the only recruitable mercenary in the game. Recruitable Mercenaries tend to be pretty rare in Fire Emblem. As such, they are almost always really useful. Raven is no exception. He's a powerhouse throughout the game and a great sword unit. His HP, STR, SKILL, and SPD will max out or get close to max by game's end. His luck, def, and res are meh, though.
Stop.
Hammer time.
Rescue the soldiers.
...Before this happens.
That's cool and all, but you're still slow as shit.
Defense! Now let's work on HP.
Strength twice! Yus!
Well, at least you got HP.
DPS erk!
This can only end in Lulz.
This would be much more helpful if you could open chests with it, but you can't.
Behold my Stache!
Speed! Hallelujah!
That Lelia's a Spy!
How did Ephidel Fuck up stabbing an old man to death! Christ!
I was never really on your side [http://tf2wiki.net/w/images/1/11/Spy_specialcompleted07.wav]
...is, in fact, a word.
So they're like a corrupted version of the Dawn Brigade. Hmm... I smell a cross-over...
IT ONLY GETS WORSE! AVOID THE PLAGUE!
Don't stop me now! I've having such a good time, I'm having a ball!
Don't stop me now! If you wanna have a good time, just give me a call!
Show, don't tell. Denning is way creepier, but his personality is never explicitly defined.
Meanwhile, thousands of miles away...
Still a better love story than Twilight.
Drop it like it's useless.
Next time, one of my favorite chapters! (16x)
Question of the day: What do you think of the plot thus far?
[HEADING=2] Let's Play Fire Emblem: Chapter 16x: The Port of Badon[/HEADING]
Awright, one of my favorite chapters. This will be my last chapter until I get back from vacation in little over a week.
He apparently works a ship in addition to his other jobs.
http://troll.me/images/indiana-jones/*****-please.jpg
support bonus reset. Too bad, Eliwood.
Must be that time of month.
Oh. That's a good theory, too.
Orphans, a Fire Emblem mainstay.
...and drunk, too. Don't forget that.
I like the cut of his jib. Whatever that means.
gunna get as much usage out of this photo as humanly possible.
That's only 80-something battles worth of gold.
Killing the pirates and free passage? It's a dream come true.
Alright, not much in the way of opposition. Don't think this should be too tough. Let's see how good that old geezer is.
O_O
Fargus does not fuck around.
He won't attack you, so don't kill him.
Sup, Anna.
Don't cross the vertical (in the first one) or Horizontal (in the second one) line. If you do the pirate's will all start moving to attack.
Chance of blowing up in your face: (31-luck)% Chance of my using this piece of shit: 0%
It is time!
Fuck yeah, Canas!
If you couldn't tell, He's my favorite character in FE7, if not in all of the FE canon.
He's a pretty interesting guy, if you read any of his support convos.
Also, he's a powerhouse unit. His stats are probably the most balanced in the game.
He probably won't cap any of his stats, but none of them are bad either and most are above average.
He's the only recruitable dark magic user in the game (outside of a final chapter only unit).
Combining this with the fact that dark magic is OP in this game, you get a ridiculously useful unit.
Raven proves useful...and blurry.
the fuck are you doing here?
Oh boy, this could be bad.
That is the slowest fucking paladin I have ever seen. Also you don't move until the line is triggered.
Why?
Yus!
The best strategy is to draw out indivual units one by one until it's safe to trigger the event.
Not anymore, I'm not.
Ow.
So fast.
Be prepared to see him say this. Alot.
I am. and don't call me Shirley.
I find Pricilla's pseudo-incestuous attitude towards Raven somehow creepier than any of the actual incest that happens in the FE4.
Dis gunna hurt.
Tanky mage.
Ow. Again.
Oh now black fang is ok with attacking. Do they work for Fargus or something?
It's a piss staff.
A fuckin' short bow? Iron bows are more powerful than that shit.
Phew.
Yus! Defense!
Back to normal, Eliwood?
Good job as usual.
Time for save state arena abuse!
If you're not using save states, only enter battles under 700 gold.
"Don't get yourself killed" LOL
You win back double the gold.
Enemies in the arena aren't run of the mill.
Reload!
I hope you like polite socializing, Lyn!
Oh, well. What the hell.
You know what bothers me? the fact that every shonen anime feels the need to have a romantically oblivious main character.
It is time.
Get used to it. You and Serra are getting an A rank support.
No, of course not. It was obvious.
Time to reload.
2nd time.
Let's try this again.
shit.
Gotta say, I'm digging the purple pants.
Phew. And Load state!
And so am I!
We're at about the half way point in terms of missions completed. (but not in terms of amount of Eliwood's story completed.)
I'll be gone for a while, but I hope that all of my faithful readers will be ready for my return.
Ah yes, the level with the first Arena.
Being the perfectionist I am I get several characters to level 20 (some to 20/20) on this level as well as getting a sh*t load of gold.
I found myself not touching the game for a month after Canas was on the receiving end of a 2% pirate crit.

I usually only use the arena to get the last levels of a character (once, I used it to get fiora to a falcoknight before chap 22.Aircross said:
Rule of thumb: never enter a battle with a NPC with crit. It's just not a good idea (unless their damage output is bad).
[HEADING=2] Let's Play Fire Emblem: Chapter 17: The Pirate Ship[/HEADING]
Awright, It's been a week. Time for an update.
It's Baaaaaaaaaack.
What exquisite muscles you have attached to the hull.
Why not? Sailing seems to be pretty smooth.
Some would even say that you "rise against any challenges"
They wanted to be king of the pirates and to reach the grand line.
The Fargus WILL marry me!
...But he's so old.
Sounds like the dread Isle isn't the best vacation spot.
A who in the what now?
He has eyes, doesn't he? It wasn't that hard to see.
You know, most pirates are generally into loot and rape and pillage and stuff.
Well, I do, but...ummm, not for carrying.
Don't tell me the odds!
Look up to the skies and see!
Haven't seen the flag before, but I get the feeling they're not on our side.
Crap! They've deployed an iceberg!
Shit! That sounds pretty bad.
Especially Hector.
Pirates are...GO!!!
Buy two or three fluxes for Canas and anything else you need.
Left side of the map is composed entirely of shamans...
...And the right is made of sword users.
Dayum, Florina. If only you got some HP.
Powah haus canus.
Speed and skill?
Heterosexual life buddies.
My first skill is killing.
It's certainly the easiest to find around the battlefield.
Canas, you such a boss.
You know, murder. Stuff like that. Nothin' big.
The plot thickens!
Behold, the most OP weapon in the game! And only Canas can wield it!
I don't recommend attacking Zoldam unless you have someone with more than 36 HP or you have enough supports to cancel his 25% crit rate.
yoink!
GTFO matthew!
Last turn of defense, which means...
The mission will automaticly end if you kill the boss before the turns are up.
Oh, you have to be fuckin-
One that will never be explained.
Because that innkeeper said it was black fang...and because their nametags said they were.
right back to the dread isle, that can't be bad at all.
He will.
Sturgeon's law, Hector, Sturgeon's law.
It's been almost 2 weeks. Miss Me?
Question of the day: shit. Can't think of anything relevant. Favorite music, anyone?
