#fire emblem 11

[bomb0some0dodongos]

Finally finished my FE1 playthrough! I enjoyed it thoroughly to the end. I'll always understand why it's not for everyone, but old school strategy/ RPG game clunk is my jam.

And now it's time to give the animations some major credit in this game - the GBA FE games get all the animation spotlight, but FE1 set the foundation that led to them in the first place!

The sprite art team did not have to go this hard for a Famicom game, but they sure did. Some of them are a little derpy - Marth's standard attack animation is him slowly walking up to the enemy, lightly whacking them, then walking back into position - but most of them are really dynamic for 8-bit!

Marth ends up redeeming himself with Falchion's unique animation, anyway. The backflip is one for legends.

And Medeus? You know how he's an earth dragon? So of COURSE he comes crawling out of the ground! I don't know how... the final battle map is in a castle... but the final boss doesn't need logic, okay?

And then... one day in 2008, FE11 happened. I still love playing this game too, and defend it a lot. ...I just wish I could know what happened during development, that made it the game where animation goes to die, when it's a remake of THE FE1.

I completed my first FE Ironman today

I finished Shadow Dragon on Hard 2, not resetting to undo deaths and restarting the run from Chapter 1 if Marth dies. On the third attempt, today I incinerated Medeus with Tiki’s divine dragonbreath, and it was exilerating.

My first attempt had ended early. I was rusty in playing FE, so I lost a few strong units like Caeda and Abel in the first two chapters, and in chapter 4 I misplaced Marth and he facetanked one more spear than he could. The second run went much better... until I all the overlapping ballista ranges in chapter 13 made my brain sizzle through and Marth once again took too much damage, especially since I had previously lost Midia, meaning I had to fight Astram instead of being able to recruit him.

But the third attempt went amazingly. I barely lost anyone I was actively using, at least until the lategame when the difficulty started to dial up.

My MVP of the run was Barst. Look at this absolute unit:

From early on, his strength and speed allowed him to reliable kill enemies without the aid of forged effective weapons, which is what most of my army used. Once I promoted him and changed his class to hero, giving him massive stat boosts at the cost of one point of strength, he went into overdrive, being tanky enough to duel most foes and counterkill with a hand axe. He finished the campaign with 73 kills under his belt

The other in the top 5 of best fighters where Marth (62 kills), Cain and Wolf (58 kills each), and Caeda (54 kills). The Wing Spear is not nicknamed the Win Spear for nothing!

That’s not to say my run went perfectly of course. I had a full three deaths in the final chapter alone. Wendell, serving as a staffbot with low HP, got killed by a ballista right at the start. Then I forgot to move Boa, my other staffboat, and he became wyvern food. Finally, during the final struggle against Medeus, Cain got caught and doubled by a Mage Dragon, these bastards are crazy fast.

My most embarassing death happened in Chapter 23. I was using the Geosphere to suss out the real Gharnef and kill a few of his mooks, and didn’t realize that the fortify staff doesn’t heal it’s user, causing me to accidentally kill Lena through repeated earthquakes. That was really dumb.

I haven’t played FE in forever, and it’s good to be back. Next I will do an Ironman of Sacred Stones, which is going to be fun because I played it exactly once, years ago, when I first got into FE. Very fun.

weird thoughts

[real-fire-emblem-takes]

Honestly, I think Nintendo should have a FE x Fortnite collab. Just because the meme of Marth with a glock going "As a friend, you are, replaceable, FAREWELL." can be REAL

Tellius reverse world is that Ashera immediately condemns the world to stone instead of slumbering. After thousands of years, Yune builds enough power to start setting beorc and laguz free to overturn her judgement and save the rest of world

Archanea reverse world is that Marth gets captured instead of Elice and Gharnef brainwashes him in hopes of using Falchion to kill Naga and preserve Medeus's rule. Elice is the protagonist and seeks to use the Fire Emblem to purify Marth from the dark magic and reclaim their nation. Starlight becomes her personal weapon in this version

Echoes reverse world is that Duma and Mila's original conflict didn't end until they slayed each other in a mutual kill, reducing the continent to various islands and scattering fragments of their powers across them. Humanity continued the struggle, using Duma's remnants to build weapons and fortresses, and Mila's to make the land fertile and harness magic. The dragon spirits call out to Alm and Celica to finally end their conflict by destroying these remnants and allowing them to finally rest

just finished fire emblem awakening

[glowingbadger]

A fellow Libra lover?? 👀 may i PLEASE have P, W, and X for the most beautiful man in FE awakening?

Man, Libra is at an incredible intersection of "bishounen" and "priest" that is SO underutilized, but gets me absolutely every time.

Side note, speaking of beautiful priests, has literally any other person ever read the Juvenile Orion mangas or was that something that me and my best friend were alone in at age twelve

Alphabet prompts - Libra (FE Awakening)

P (pace), W (wild card), X (x-ray)

NSFW 18+

Pace: It's a steady climb with Libra. He always prefers to start slow, especially given he doesn't tend to bring just anyone to his bed, and tends to only become intimate with someone he truly cherishes. As such, he wants to show you the reverence you deserve, and worship you the best way he knows how. He'll spend plenty of time savoring deep, lustful kisses that eventually trail down your neck to explore your body, and his hands warm and tender along your skin- but eventually, it always escalates. With time, you'll both become wrapped up in the intimacy of being together, and touches become firmer and bolder, bodies move more intensely, and before long he'll be plunging his cock deep into you while he pants your name against your skin.

Wild card: Libra can be a little touch-shy and quite touch-sensitive to start, and the fact that he genuinely wants to work on acclimating to your touch is one of many ways he shows how dearly he adores you. Related to this- he really enjoys watching you touch yourself. It's vulnerable and intimate and so, so erotic, in addition to the taboo of watching such a personal act of pleasure which almost feels sacred to him. Early in the relationship, it's a good way for him to explore sexual gratification with you, without feeling immediately overwhelmed by your touch on him (especially his back or neck, where scars from his childhood still linger). He'll watch you with a focused, intense heat in his eyes, gently encouraging you, murmuring praises like prayers until the rush of watching you make yourself cum just for him.

X-ray: I've mentioned this on this blog before, but Libra is built like a male pinup. While his elegant face might give the impression of a slender, ephemeral build, the truth is quite the opposite- he possesses the strength to swing around a massive metal axe, and it shows. Underneath those conservative robes, his torso is muscle bound and carved, every inch of him trained to combat-ready perfection. He's accumulated a good number of scars, but for the most part, his skin is fair and smooth, and he naturally has very little (and very light) body hair. His cock is thick, and very pleasantly veiny, overall shockingly "masculine" for a man with such a pretty face.
