#Let's Play Fire Emblem IV

[sieglinde-freud]

so the way endings in awakening work is a bit off if you have the gay mod because it reads single people normally, but married people have the man’s ending read, and then his wife just. attached. and so that alters which ending you see for both of them. unfortunately, that means if i have f/f pairs, which most of them were, i dont get to see any because none of them were read. and at least with the second gen, i did almost entirely f/f pairs, which dont show up, or m/m pairs, which had nothing written, so. everyone please give it up for gerome and cynthia, the only second gen ending i got to see!

😭😭 good for them!!! anyways unorganized final thoughts under cut so i dont have to make a whole other post for it

awakening lunatic sucks! but project thabes makes it suck a little less. in all honesty i had a lot of fun, awakenings a good game to revisit, and finding a way to make it challenging while being able to use my favorite units (awakening second gen) ever was awesome. normally having all 13 (or 14 in this case, with both morgans) would break the game, but lunatic kept the enemies strong, so it didnt matter what my units had. i actually got overwhelmed a lot 😭 HUGE difficulty jump between hard and lunatic all i’m saying. and then the games like “hey now u have lunatic+ if that interests you” NOOOOO THANKS.

anyways. here are my top three guys according to the medal thingies at the end

im so proud of them :3 of all the kids really but yeah these three were huge standouts. virion actually got a change in the mod where one of his subclasses was swapped for myrmidon, so yarne got to inherit astra which was actually insane? it procced ALL THE TIME so. that was crazy. chrom!inigo and fred!cynthia are always good thats not new but they were really clutch in the last few chapters. i had them both hopping around classes for most of the game bc thabes redoes skill progression so. IT TOOK CYNTHIA SO LONG TO LEARN LUNA. ITS FROM WYVERN LORD. GOD. she went through a LOT of classes yall dont even know. also honorable mention to marc and morgan, the best rallybots ever, and dancer lucina, who was outserving everyone she was in a scene with. my girl.

like ok serving cunt on the back of the god youre about to kill? get it girl!

anyways so for second gen pairs i did: lucina/f!morgan, owain/m!morgan, inigo/laurent, yarne/brady, severa/kjelle, nah/noire, and cynthia/gerome and you know what. i think i have a great taste. a lot of these were born from being unable to do other pairings but thats ok. i liked how it turned out. though i was gonna do nah/noire anyways because they were actually like. an insane duo. honestly im surprised noire didnt get a medal thing bc i feel like her nostanking with nah backing her up got me out of so much shit. maybe its because i didnt see her ending… oh. oh wait thats probably it. well. anyways.

i think awakening is not a properly balanced game, nor are the maps made for a difficulty like this. towards the end game especially, the maps are just. flat. most of them anyways, and they just become really repetitive and bland and boring. and despite this being the game with the tactician character of all the time, they dont really allow you flexible strategies, because if youre not pair up stat stacking, you will die! and that sucks. mid game is alright, but the last arc is really weak and kinda dampered my whole experience. im glad i did it, but i wouldnt actually reccomend it to anyone unless you like to play like that (which is totally fine! its just not my thing). definitely requires some solid planning as well. all in all, not the worst fire emblem ive played but… well. im not doing it again. ok anyways heres inigo mouthing off at grima

I was so happy that infold allowed us to customise the chibi mc in the last event.

It's a first step, but l am hopeful that they will make a feature that allows us to customise the skin tone of the four star cards.

It's okay if we can not change the hair, but at least they should allow us to customise the skin tone of the cards.

Maybe one day they will add that feature to the game.

Yeah that's my hope too.

That event with the chibi characters is still my favorite for customization alone.

And at the very least they should give us that otherwise ima start headcanoning that they're seeing some white girl and My MC is gonna start knocking heads over it HAH!

As well I'm always going to be of the opinion if you're adding customization either go all the way or not at all (I've played a LOT of games that let you customize everything) I don't appreciate this half assed shit so if InFold goes that direction with the skin color ima hope for no more straight brown hair.

My MC is dark skinned so brown hair like that on her skin tone it just realistically bothers me A LOT. It doesn't look right-

Lemme have either dark 3C hair or different hair color PLEASE-

treehouse censoring even alfred's, kagetsu's, etc romantic lines in elyos after you s-support them....

[devotedlystrangewizard]

my thoughts on fire emblem will never be coherent because on one hand you have the nerd part of my brain who hates fire emblem three houses for every second it spends outside of traditional fire emblem gameplay flavours and on the other hand you have the gay idiot who just rewatched ferdinand & hubert's A+ support for the 5th time this year and also has about 280 hours put into fe3h

[orcelito]

Literally forgot I was playing fire emblem engage on hard mode

I just thought the game was just like this

Two, I've been playing video games since I was way too young to be playing video games, with my first games being Pokemon Blue, Metal Gear Solid, and Final Fantasy IV. Three, my first RP experience was actually an OCRP, but my first RP fandoms were Fire Emblem and Ace Attorney. Four, I have three tattoos (so far!). Five, I used to cosplay a bunch, and am interested in getting back into it!

「EXPERIENCE」

▐ HOW LONG (YEARS/MONTHS): – Prooobably about 17-18 years? ▐ PLATFORMS USED: – Gaia Online, MMOs, forums, discord, aaaaand...here! ▐ BEST EXPERIENCE: – Generally, this group. I've met a lot of really cool people and great friends through affiliated tumblr rp.

「MUSE PREFERENCES」

▐ MALE/FEMALE/OTHER: – I tend toward masc or nonbinary muses in general, but occasionally a wife city muse gets me. ▐ FAVORITE FACECLAIM: –  I've started using my own original characters for faceclaims if I don't just use the character from the blog I'm writing on, but historically I used Mari from the EVA movies. ▐ FLUFF, ANGST, OR SMUT: – I'm pretty much down for anything let's boogie (although I tend to not RP smut on main). ▐ PLOTS OR MEMES: – I prefer plotting - memes can be fun but I tend to get a bit shy about them for some reason. ▐ LONG OR SHORT REPLIES: – I tend to focus on long replies, but short stuff can end up being a lot of fun. ▐ BEST TIME TO WRITE: – Sometimes the muse just strikes at like 8pm, or 8am, or when I'm driving and can't write and can only just think about it. ▐ ARE YOU LIKE YOUR MUSES: – GOD I hope not.

Favorite Fire Emblem game: hrkkk probably 7 but super fond of sacred stones n path of radiance too

Any Fire Emblem crushes? 😳

lmao

If you’ve played the following games, who was your first S support? Who would you S support nowadays?

- Awakening: mightve been chrom by accident n woulda been pissed about it. henry & gaius beloveds

- Fates: conquest- niles, birthright- azama, revelations- kaze

- Engage: louis and lapis i married both that's my story and im sticking to it

Favorite Fire Emblem class: thief or mage

If you were a Fire Emblem character, what would be your class? probably an archer, or mage. miss me w close combat

If you were a Three Houses character, what would be your affiliation? hmm… i wanna say deer but probably beagles

If you were an Engage character, which Emblem would you Engage with? lyn. long distance pew pew goes brrrrr

How did you find TOA? kept seeing it on twitter from ol ferp mutuals and eventually caved

Current TOA muses: hector, matthew, azama

Who was your first TOA muse? If you don’t have them anymore, could you see yourself picking them up again? ewan. some days i think i could.

Have you had any other TOA muses? florina, henry

Do you think you have a type of character you gravitate towards? prickly, maybe. in general muses that allow me to explore… ewan is more outgoing than i will ever be, but lets himself feel petty or jealous. hector is brash, but struggling with an uncomfortable and unexpected weight on his shoulders. azama invites conflict like he needs it to breathe, while ive typically been averse to conflict. florina is timid but trying to grow stronger for her friends (and herself, she comes to realize). henry is… an oddball, idk how to describe what draws me to writing him. change of pace maybe? requires thinking outside the box with his unique worldview. i dont tend toward angst but matthew is a good output for it if im feelin it haha.

What do you believe you enjoy writing the most? i think i like. when threads start to come together. yknow in stories when you can start referring to things that have happened? and you're like "woah wait i know what that's referring to!!"

when you manage to reach a shared history ig? i know im p slow re. writing but i cherish the bonds and overarching/intertwined stories my muses wind up with. people you meet touch your life in ways you might not immediately fathom…

Favorite TOA-related memory: lots of lock & key justice shenanigans… bunker … enjoyed unscripted a whole heck of a lot as well

How do you pronounce TOA? 🤔 T-O-A. sounds fancier to spell it out haha

Got any delusions that didn’t see the light of day that you’d like to share? 😉 felix, ike, kaze, serra, sain, naesala, ingrid, eldigan, bramimond, lethe, shinon, kliff… not so much delusions as "might be fun to explore…" – and i wouldn't trade our current reps of the above for the world ✌️

[cute-girls-from-vns-anime-manga]

What video games do you like to play?

Honestly Im a grab bag of a gamer!

I used to be massively into the souls games but after I played them too much I just cant seem to go back to them.

I absolutely love a good chill vibing game like Stardew Valley, Story of Seasons and Rune Factory, have frankly logged far far too many hours into Stardew as it is.

Then recently Ive been feeling the urge for some fast paced action so Ive been going through some older fps's like I just beat Blood on well done a few months back working my way through Amid Evil now, absolutely adore Ultrakill even though I am god awful at it and am not even good enough to beat the first Gabriel fight much less unlock the entire second act.

Of course if you want to count them and I most certainly do I am a visual novel addict, and if you dont think VN's are games go find a copy of Kamidori Alchemy Meister and get as addicted to that games tactical combat as I am! (Its a fire-emblem like only more high fantasy)

But the Majikoi series stands out above all the visual novels, hell Majikoi is so important and amazing to me Id put it in my top three favorite experiences Ive ever had from a piece of art!

Occasionally when the mood strikes me Ill boot up a good ole RPG obviously you have your OG classics like Chrono Trigger (Which I happen to have a SNES cart of) but newer classics that forgo the turn based combat systems as well like Ni no kuni!

As with all things however I have a pair of games that I play for comfort and never bore me or get stale, the first is Diablo 2, I began playing Diablo 2 when I was just six years old something about the game drew me in and has never let go the moment I first laid eyes on the rouge encampment an obsession was formed. During a move my dad lost his copy of Diablo 2 and I begged him to get me a new one, when my asshole abusive brother destroyed that copy I scrounged every penny I found on the street to buy it again, due to complicated circumstances ive lost or had my copy of Diablo 2 ruined I think about 6-8 times but when the Itch to play it comes from deep inside my skull I cannot refuse so Ive had to re-buy the damn thing that many times! I dont know how long Ive spent playing Diablo 2 but just a gut feeling says that it would have to be measured in YEARS.

The other Game is Terraria I bought Terraria on Steam day one, I remember watching the developers lets play back on youtube at the same time I was playing the game, Terraria does not have as much of a story in my life as Diablo 2 but since I bough it day one on steam 12 fucking years ago I actually do have my total collective play time

That's 3,204.4 hours thats more than double my next most played game on steam (Titan Quest at 1,417.8 hours CAN YA TELL I LOVE ARPG's?) that equates by the way to 133.5 days straight of just playing Terraria. No I do not have all the Achievements in Terraria I play games to have fun and escapism doing a checklist of things in a game isnt fun!

There are so many more games I adore but this is already too long!

Chapter 9- Part 14

I do apologize for this being a less-than-ideal first impression for Popplio, but Xera’s got pride to uphold, especially against a rival. 

Let’s start by putting the Nidorino to sleep with Sing. Luckily, Sing hits, but Nidorino gets a lucky crit with Poison Tail beforehand in return.

But now that it’s asleep, we can start Zen Headbutting! We get one, and- what do you mean it woke up this time?? And what do you mean Zen Headbutt missed?????

Well, this isn’t good at all! But it’s not impossible to get out of this- first, we heal Whiskers with a Potion-

And then we attempt to put it to sleep again with Sing! Whiskers will live Poison Tail as long as it doesn’t crit again- we just need Sing to land…

And it does! But…we’ve run into a different problem now. Whiskers could go back to spamming Zen Headbutt, but if Nidorino wakes up early again…well, that’d be really bad. No- the safer play is to switch in to someone else. 

It’s your turn, Prong!

You guys know what time it is, right? Start with Charge…

And with the power of Charge and STAB…FIRE THAT LASER, GIRL!! FINISH THE-

���You all can see that, right?

(Future edit: I don't know if I should "thank" Tumblr or YouTube for the random age-restriction and messing up this video addition, but whatever, go off I guess, heavens forbid we have swears on this website-)

I think I’m losing it, I think I am actually starting to go insane- how does this keep happening!? How, seriously!? It can’t be because I keep getting unlucky with damage rolls, right? Once or twice maybe, but- look at how many times this has happened throughout this playthrough so far! In this chapter! In this battle alone! Are you serious!? 

Never in all the years I’ve been playing Pokémon has something like this happened, where enemy Pokémon survive on actual slivers of HP without Endure, Sturdy, Focus Bands/Sashes, or the like. Just…in general, and in multiple different battles in the same game! Not in the mainline games, not the spinoffs, not even when I played Insurgence, I don’t even think this has happened as often when I play on Showdown! So what’s happening here?? Why now, when I’m playing through Reborn, is this happening so often?

It can’t just be luck with the damage rolls and ranges, even I wouldn’t get that unlucky this often! Is it my Pokémon’s EVs and IVs? The enemy Pokémon’s EVs and IVs? Is the RNG programmed to be biased towards the player’s lower-damage rolls no matter what? That third one is a bit conspiratorial (though not unfounded- look up how the fifth Fire Emblem game, Thracia 776, handles the survival of one of its vital characters, Eyvel, it’s very interesting), but at this point I don’t have many ideas for what it could be!

Oh and of course, Nidorino wakes up on the next turn and hits Prong with Poison Tail- it’s not a crit or anything, but it’s still adding insult to injury!

THAT’S IT, FIRE THAT LASER AGAIN!!

Was using a +2 and STAB boosted Charge Beam a bit overkill here, considering Nidorino was probably at 1 HP? Yeah, probably. Would Mud-Slap or Bug Bite have finished the job just as easily? Certainly. Do I care at this point? No, not really- besides, Cain could have used, like, a Super Potion or something, and at that point the Charge Beam would have been even more justified!

Hah- he says that and he doesn’t even know about Xera’s vigilante arc or the stuff with Team Meteor…

…That stuff with enemy Pokémon surviving on slivers of health is going to cost me a battle one day, I’m calling it right now. One day, during a tough/tense battle, an opposing Pokémon is going to survive an otherwise lethal attack with one or two pixels of health left, and it’s going to ultimately lead to Xera losing the battle and forcing me to reset.

That’s…certainly one way to describe the battle that just happened, and Xera herself.

The Wasteland? Why would he have business there? What, is he from there or something? From what that old man said, it doesn’t sound like the kind of place anyone would live in or want to live in…

Well, the horrors of numbers aside, I am glad we got to see and battle Cain again- which is something I did not think I would be saying several chapters ago.

Yeah, the lake looked pretty big on the map, so the fact that it’s all polluted and grimy…yeesh.

Oh, right- the sidequest from Florinia that we went through all of this for! The TMX! If we don’t get that Cut thing as soon as possible after all of this, I will actually lose it-

if awakening ever gets a remake in the next twenty years or so my number one want is same sex marriage + still having kids but my number TWO want is a scene after lucina’s judgement where whoever is robin’s kid confronts lucina. bc like from a player’s stand point, or really even just from robin as a character, its really easy to understand lucina’s thought process, sympathize with her, and forgive her. but if you’re one of the future kids, you came back in time to save your parents (and the world i GUESS), and your friend decides that your parent, yours specifically, is expendable, thats kinda fucked up!! her thinking is valid and potentially correct from a logical standpoint, but looking at it from like morgan’s perspective, it might feel selfish or unwarranted.

but my other thing is, unless robin’s second kid is lucina (or they dont have one), i think using their other kid over morgan would be more impactful if only because morgan lost their memories of the past and doesnt have as strong of a connection with lucina as say, someone like gerome or cynthia does. if its chrom!morgan then yeah, theres the connection, but otherwise wouldnt it be fucking wild to see the perspective of someone who went back in time with their friend who promised to go back and save the world, only to find them pointing a sword at your fucking dad? literally insane where is this confrontation. number three want is fix chapter two’s map design

It is funny on how much nostalgia can affect things.

Super smash brothers has to be one of my favorite game series. And its like for 3 reasons

1) i've always been terrible at fighting games, ive never had the finger dexterity to do what felt like to me, esoteric controls to do the cool stuff. And i never had imagine reflexes, so typical fighting games for me is putting so much effort in trying to do what feels like should be basic abilities that I can't even focus on my oppenent. In smash bros i if i want to make the fireball happen i just press B, which lets me attempt to get better reflexes and pay attention to my oppenent.

2) at my heart, i'm a nintendo fangirl. Not enough to dismiss controversies or criticisms of their games or practices. But since I was little, I always enjoyed the games and asthethics.

3) that commercia for the original game of people in the mascot costumes beating each other up to "happy together" drilled itself into my brain

But Smassh Bros is kind of at the end of the day Nintendo flexing and creating a game all about self refrence. And ive come to groan at that kind of thing, the Disney Movie Wish. Fire Emblem Engage, (and to a lesser extent Awakeing and Fates), and more that make their core conceipt a refrence to the media/franchise it is apart of, with no leg to stand on its own. Smash Bros is kind of that, but.. I like it because i spent hours as a kid playing it and it did.

And whaats funny is I don't even like smash bros the way most people like it. The biggestbcommunitys around it are competitive games, no items stuff like that. And i just independently loved those games, playing them with my siblings outside of any scene or anything like that. Perfering items and the like. Idk

Also im sorry for my phase where I called anything simillar to it a smash clone and dismissed them as cash grabs... some of them still feel that way but tbh kind of in the smae way that smash bros itself kind of is.

That being said if there are any smash bros esque games with original characters I would be interested in that.( idk if they have a genre name, platform fighters maybe?)

[hy2ka]

so i see you reblogged some things about resident evil... ive never played it before but ive been seeing an influx of things about leon and needless to say im already down bad... so are the games fun to play? and uhhh is it hard? cause im shit at games besides genshin 🤣 and do i have to play them all to understand or can i just like play the newest?

gonna be real w u i also have never played a resident evil game 😭 i only watch lets plays and like. it looks fun. probably hard but it has difficulty selection so it should be alright ! im also shit at fighting games that arent like fire emblem and arknights LMAO 😭 genshin truly the only fighting type of game i play fkfkdkdjdk

[sebastian-stardewturnedmegay]

AHHHHHHHDKDJLEHFLFJLDJDK sorry chat i LOVE plushies omg wait your plush collection RAH PEAK PEAK !!

NO BUT THATS SO REAL I DONT BLAME YOU!!! my parents never got me pokemon games for my ds </3 BUT IVE ALWAYS FOLLOWED THE ANIME AND ITS SO PEAK if you havent HIGHLY RECOMMEND THEM (esp sun and moon RAHHH) my first pokemon game was LETS GO PIKACHU ON YHE SWITCH * looks away embarrassingly *

HOLLOW KNIGHT OMGOGMOG DUDE YOURE SO BASED AND REAL AND * adhd yippeeing * ik its not your current fixation but HOLLOW KNIGHT IS SOOOO PEAK AND i cant help by get excited :3c

I ACTUALLY LOOKED SOME OF THEM UP ace attorney and fire emblem both have silly goofy plushies and megaten has one on jack frost afaik SO THERES STILL HOPE!!!!!

also fae anon so real id donate some bones but im.... 4'9...... ITS THE GENES I SWEAR IM NOT A MIDDLE SCHOOLER /GEN

still waiting for silksong :/ big fan of daily silksong news's commitment to the bit

the real plushie issue is with guilty gear. they only run their stuff through makeship so its all limted runs that ended a while ago, also i understand that it's hard to tranlate human character in plush form bust most of these are awful

look what they did to my boy. look at him my favorite boy was turned into this creature

why did they turn may into a bug??

idk what to even say about this one tbh. bad

the only made one good one debateably

and I hope they give her another run because uhhh

that was the cheapest listing I could find

I have looked into jack frost plushies before but most of them are around 40$ which is kinda outside my price range

either way i have yet to fully unlearn shame so I still feel kinda embarrassed over being intrested in plushies. not looking for reassurance, its just something i have work on.

lets go pikachu was my 4th game I think. I played sun,x,alpha sapphire,then pikachu. not super shocking that you played that one first, assuming we're around a similar age. not a big anime guy but I've been watching beastars lately and its pretty good. I might very legally watch some of the anime for nostalgia purposes

Games Played in 2024

New year means a new list of what I played in the last year!! This year's list is kind of underwhelming to me. I feel like I barely got anything of value done during the year, and I was hoping that would reflect in a massive amount of games I played that I really loved but I just wasn't blown away by most of what I played in 2024 sadly. But that's not to say I didn't play anything good, far from it!

Let's stop moping around and just get to the list, if you're curious what all I played in 2024, check under the readmore!

Key

Present - Game was given to me by someone else

And as always I only put games on here that I played for the first time or had the intention of beating for the first time or reached a big milestone in for the first time. I won’t include Super Smash Bros. Ultimate for example, I played it a lot this year. But I played it a lot last year too.

==========

There you have it! Everything I bought, beat, and tried in 2024! I'm sure I left some stuff off but I mean... I don't care, do you? Be honest.

Also before I finish up I really want to thank everyone for the staggering amount of games my friends and family bought me this year. Money was tough so I was going to miss out on a lot of things I really wanted to play but without me even having to ask people came and got them for me and I seriously cannot express enough how much that means to me. I don't know if any of y'all are gonna read this but it really meant the world to me and I don't know if I even could've made a short GOTY list without everyone being so kind to me. I hope it doesn't sound like I'm bragging or taking friend's money but I just cannot thank you all enough for being so kind and generous to me at every turn even when I don't really have much to give back. Seriously <3

I didn't have any specific goals for what I wanted to play in 2024, but my resolution WAS to play less Fortnite and I did really accomplish that! In fact I basically only played for an hour or two and the start and end of the year and just didn't touch it for the rest of the year. It's small but it's a big victory for me after I wasted so much time on it in 2023 aha.

For 2025? I'm looking forward to properly sinking my teeth into more stuff like continuing my Full RPG series playthroughs with Pokemon Black&White and Final Fantasy 5. I also can't wait to play Fantasian, which I wanted to play in launch year but got so depressed I didn't wanna touch it until I felt better (which is now, I'll be playing it soon.) As well as maybe clearing out some games on my Steam and Itchio libraries. And I've also got my eye on potentially playing the whole Panzer Dragoon series. But we'll see how things play out!!

I think that's pretty much it for me in 2024! Here's to a wonderful 2025, let's give it our best!! I believe in you!
