Title: Lets play Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones
Post by: Rikter on June 15, 2010, 08:36:42 PM
In an age long past... Evil flooded over the land. Creatures awash in the dark ride ran wild, pushing mankind to the brink of annihilation.
In its despair, mankind appealed to the heavens, and from a blinding light came hope.

THE SACRED STONES

These five glorious treasures held the power to dispel evil.
The hero Grado and his warriors used the Sacred Stones to combat evil's darkness. They defeated the Demon King and sealed his soul away within the stones.
With the darkness imprisoned, peace returned to Magvel.
But this peace would not last...

I decided to start a lets play of Fire Embelm 8 to pass my free time i'll be playing Normal mode without any huge Tower/Ruins/Arena abuse (Might Abuse to get Supports unlocked quicker but thats it.). Because I don't have time for that stuff or hard but i'll do one run of each once they are fully unlocked. I'll leave several aspects up to the readers like which character's i'll use,  promotions, Main Lord and Supports. This lets play won't explain much because I suspect most will also be following Fightests LP of FE7.

Now please start Arguing pointlessly about who i'll use and what supports while I type up Part one. :V

My personal favorite FE game is this one.

All-girl team, go!

Oh, Rikter figured it out. Interesting.

You must use Eirika the whole time just because. Though you'll probably like it.

Take Eirika's route. 
Lyon is a big doofus in Ephraim's.  In Eirika's, at least the Demon King has some good lines.

Lyon is a big doofus in Eirika's route too, plus he turns both himself and Eirika emo, plus Knoll and Duessel make no sense in Eirika's story because the part about the earthquake in Grado doesn't get a mention.  At least Eirika's route has Innes to make up for it.

Also, horseback units only.  And by horseback units I mean Seth with a side of Franz.

but the Demon King has most of the lines, Lyon has like two, which is a good thing, because he's a doofus

I mandate use of Seth regardless of anyone else.

OH I get what you're saying now.
"Oh, please? Are you done turning your failings into some sad epic of personal tragedy?"

By the way, under no circumstances will you use Neimi over Innes.
He is in NO way inferior to that so-called Demon King.

I'd use both, but that's personal preference.

Still not going to decide on who all to use for at this point but an all girl party would be really annoying and I doubt theres much intrest in that.

The continent of Magvel.
For some 800 Years, a quiet peace reigned in the absence of the terrible darkness.
The Sacred Stones have been passed from generation to generation. Nations have been built around their power and their legacy.

(http://i401.photobucket.com/albums/pp95/akruta/FESS%20LP/FireEmblem-theSacredStonesGBA_18.png)

The Kingdom of Renais, ruled by Fado, the peerless Warrior King.

(http://i401.photobucket.com/albums/pp95/akruta/FESS%20LP/FireEmblem-theSacredStonesGBA_19.png)

The Kingdom of Frelia, ruled by Hayden, the venerable Sage King.

(http://i401.photobucket.com/albums/pp95/akruta/FESS%20LP/FireEmblem-theSacredStonesGBA_20.png)

The Kingdom of Jehanna, ruled by Ismaire, Queen of the White Dunes.

(http://i401.photobucket.com/albums/pp95/akruta/FESS%20LP/FireEmblem-theSacredStonesGBA_21.png)

The theocracy of Rausten, ruled by Mansel, The Divine Emperor.

(http://i401.photobucket.com/albums/pp95/akruta/FESS%20LP/FireEmblem-theSacredStonesGBA_22.png)

The Grado Empire, ruled by Vigarde, the stalwart Silent Emperor.

These five countries house the power of the Sacred Stones.

(http://i401.photobucket.com/albums/pp95/akruta/FESS%20LP/FireEmblem-theSacredStonesGBA_24.png)

They are joined by the emerging mercantile republic of Carcino.
In times of peace, tales of the past conflict has drifted into legend, and memories of the ancient dark arts have all but evaporated.
It is now the year 803...
In an instant, the whole of Magvel is threatened by an unexpected atrocity.
The Grado Empire, the largest of the Sacred Stones nations, has invaded the kingdom of Renais under orders from Emperor Vigarde.
A longtime ally of Grado, Renais is caught off guard, unable to mount any resistance.

(http://i401.photobucket.com/albums/pp95/akruta/FESS%20LP/FireEmblem-theSacredStonesGBA_33.png)

Grado's forces move quickly, seizing one territory after another.

(http://i401.photobucket.com/albums/pp95/akruta/FESS%20LP/FireEmblem-theSacredStonesGBA_38.png)

Compounding kind Fado's worries, his son, Prince Ephraim, has gone missing.

(http://i401.photobucket.com/albums/pp95/akruta/FESS%20LP/FireEmblem-theSacredStonesGBA_43.png)

Grado's momentum carries its armies to the gates of Castle Renais itself. Renais will fall... It is inevitable.

(http://i401.photobucket.com/albums/pp95/akruta/FESS%20LP/FireEmblem-theSacredStonesGBA_50.png)

Soldier: The castle gate has been breached. Emperor Vigarde's forces are within the castle walls.

Fado: I understand.

Soldier: The garrison has fallen. We've lost contact with Prince Ephraim and can expect no aid from his men. Your majesty, what are we to do?

Fado: ...What else can we do? Order your men to lay down their arms.

(http://i401.photobucket.com/albums/pp95/akruta/FESS%20LP/FireEmblem-theSacredStonesGBA_60.png)

Fado: Eirika. Are you wearing the bracelet I gave you?

Eirika: Yes, I have it right here.

Fado: Good. Seth.

(http://i401.photobucket.com/albums/pp95/akruta/FESS%20LP/FireEmblem-theSacredStonesGBA_66.png)

Fado: Take Eirika and head for Frelia. King Hayden is an honorable man. I trust he will keep you safe.

Seth: Understood. And what of Your Majesty?

Fado: Me? I shall remain here. We have long held Grado among our dearest allies, yet now, they attack? I must know why. Am I somehow responsible for this? Have I erred in my leadership? Renais is mine to guide...How could I have failed her so?

Eirika: Father, you can't stay! You mustn't! If you remain behind, then so shall I!

Fado: Go now, Seth! Ride! Take her to safety!

Eirika: Father!

Seth: Forgive me, your highness.

(http://i401.photobucket.com/albums/pp95/akruta/FESS%20LP/FireEmblem-theSacredStonesGBA_94.png)

Seth: Franz, ride ahead and bring word of our coming to Frelia. A single rider has better odds of passing unseen by Grado's men. Convey to the throne all that has happened here and petition for reinforcements.

Franz: U-understood!

Seth: Princess Eirika, we must-- Quickly! Behind me!

Valter: Well, this must be my lucky day. You're a dead man. The wench goes with me.

Seth: Never!

(http://i401.photobucket.com/albums/pp95/akruta/FESS%20LP/FireEmblem-theSacredStonesGBA_106.png)

Valter: And you?re just a corpse who does not know he is dead.

(http://i401.photobucket.com/albums/pp95/akruta/FESS%20LP/FireEmblem-theSacredStonesGBA_119.png)

Valter: How entertaining. Fly away, little man. Fly away. Try to outrun death. More time to savor the hunt... and the kill.

(http://i401.photobucket.com/albums/pp95/akruta/FESS%20LP/FireEmblem-theSacredStonesGBA_125.png)

(http://i401.photobucket.com/albums/pp95/akruta/FESS%20LP/FireEmblem-theSacredStonesGBA_126.png)

Seth: If we've made it this far, we've surely earned a moment's rest. Please forgive my grabbing you so... brusquely earlier.

Eirika: Don't be foolish, Seth. If it weren?t for you, I would never have made it out of the castle. You are the reason I'm still alive. You have my gratitude. And who ever that man was, he was clearly after me... It's my fault that you received such a grave wound. Allow me to treat it, I--

Seth: Your highness, I can't allow an injury like this to be an obstacle. We have more important matters to attend to. We must press on to Frelia. We must fulfill His Majesty's wishes.

Eirika: ... I wonder how my father fares alone in the castle. Do you think he's safe? And what of my brother on the Grado front? We've heard nothing from him for days.

Seth: King Fado and Prince Ephraim are both valiant and brave men. I doubt even the might of the Grado Empire can hold them in check. More important to me, Your Highness, is that you look to your own safety. How sad the two of them would be if something were to happen to you. We must reach Frelia to ensure the day of your happy reunion.

Eirika: Yes, of course. You're right. Until I'm reunited with my father and brother, I must not despair. Come, Seth. Let us go.

(http://i401.photobucket.com/albums/pp95/akruta/FESS%20LP/FireEmblem-theSacredStonesGBA_148.png)

Seth: Let us proceed, Princess Eirika. Your highness, I won't lie to you. This will not be an easy ride. Please, take this rapier. If something should happen to me, you must continue to Frelia, alone if need be.

(http://i401.photobucket.com/albums/pp95/akruta/FESS%20LP/FireEmblem-theSacredStonesGBA_154.png)

(http://i401.photobucket.com/albums/pp95/akruta/FESS%20LP/FireEmblem-theSacredStonesGBA_155.png)

(http://i401.photobucket.com/albums/pp95/akruta/FESS%20LP/FireEmblem-theSacredStonesGBA_156.png)

Seth: Stand back, Princess Eirika.

Eirika:
It's all right, Seth. My brother has taught me something of swordplay. I will stand with you.

(http://i401.photobucket.com/albums/pp95/akruta/FESS%20LP/FireEmblem-theSacredStonesGBA_162.png)

Alright this is a typical first mission with a low ammount of units. It shouldn't be difficult at all but lets look at what the Stats of Erika and Seth. We'll start with Erika

(http://i401.photobucket.com/albums/pp95/akruta/FESS%20LP/FireEmblem-theSacredStonesGBA_166.png)

(http://i401.photobucket.com/albums/pp95/akruta/FESS%20LP/FireEmblem-theSacredStonesGBA_165.png)

(http://i401.photobucket.com/albums/pp95/akruta/FESS%20LP/FireEmblem-theSacredStonesGBA_167.png)

(http://i401.photobucket.com/albums/pp95/akruta/FESS%20LP/FireEmblem-theSacredStonesGBA_168.png)

As you can see Erika is a Lord and her stats seem to focus on Speed and Skill but very low strength this can make her a frustrating lord to use if she misses strength to much but at least she dodges alot. It's dissapointing all she has is a Rapier though.

Now for Seth...

(http://i401.photobucket.com/albums/pp95/akruta/FESS%20LP/FireEmblem-theSacredStonesGBA_171.png)

(http://i401.photobucket.com/albums/pp95/akruta/FESS%20LP/FireEmblem-theSacredStonesGBA_170.png)

(http://i401.photobucket.com/albums/pp95/akruta/FESS%20LP/FireEmblem-theSacredStonesGBA_174.png)

Seth is this games Jeigan like Marcus in FE7 although unlike Marcus Seth has much better growth. His growths are high enough to the point where he can apparently tie with most unpromoted Cavaliers after they promote. I've not really used him to often on previous playthroughs though. One thing some readers may have noticed is that Paladins cannot weild Axes in this which while dissapointing is acceptable. I shouldn't be using him much early on so I should give Erika that Steel Sword.

(http://i401.photobucket.com/albums/pp95/akruta/FESS%20LP/FireEmblem-theSacredStonesGBA_178.png)

(http://i401.photobucket.com/albums/pp95/akruta/FESS%20LP/FireEmblem-theSacredStonesGBA_180.png)

Well looks like Erika can't use it yet. Regardless i'm still going to send her forward to kill those Fighters.

(http://i401.photobucket.com/albums/pp95/akruta/FESS%20LP/FireEmblem-theSacredStonesGBA_182.png)

(http://i401.photobucket.com/albums/pp95/akruta/FESS%20LP/FireEmblem-theSacredStonesGBA_183.png)

Blah blah blah Erika wins with ease

(http://i401.photobucket.com/albums/pp95/akruta/FESS%20LP/FireEmblem-theSacredStonesGBA_184.png)

The other fighter gets killed during the enemy turn but in the very next turn with Erika's attack

(http://i401.photobucket.com/albums/pp95/akruta/FESS%20LP/FireEmblem-theSacredStonesGBA_185.png)

(http://i401.photobucket.com/albums/pp95/akruta/FESS%20LP/FireEmblem-theSacredStonesGBA_186.png)

(http://i401.photobucket.com/albums/pp95/akruta/FESS%20LP/FireEmblem-theSacredStonesGBA_190.png)

At this point all thats left is their leader

(http://i401.photobucket.com/albums/pp95/akruta/FESS%20LP/FireEmblem-theSacredStonesGBA_192.png)

I just said that...

(http://i401.photobucket.com/albums/pp95/akruta/FESS%20LP/FireEmblem-theSacredStonesGBA_193.png)

O'Neill: Come! It's time you high-and-mighty knights learned to respect a true warrior!

Who cares lets just rush you with Seth to save Rapier uses.

(http://i401.photobucket.com/albums/pp95/akruta/FESS%20LP/FireEmblem-theSacredStonesGBA_195.png)

I would have shown show you all of O'Neill's stats but he sucks and Seth's going to OHKO anyways so all you get is this

(http://i401.photobucket.com/albums/pp95/akruta/FESS%20LP/FireEmblem-theSacredStonesGBA_175.png)

(http://i401.photobucket.com/albums/pp95/akruta/FESS%20LP/FireEmblem-theSacredStonesGBA_196.png)

Okay just double and crit both times with that 0% crit chance.

(http://i401.photobucket.com/albums/pp95/akruta/FESS%20LP/FireEmblem-theSacredStonesGBA_197.png)

Looks like you lose unless Seth misses.

(http://i401.photobucket.com/albums/pp95/akruta/FESS%20LP/FireEmblem-theSacredStonesGBA_198.png)

(http://i401.photobucket.com/albums/pp95/akruta/FESS%20LP/FireEmblem-theSacredStonesGBA_199.png)

And he doesn't

(http://i401.photobucket.com/albums/pp95/akruta/FESS%20LP/FireEmblem-theSacredStonesGBA_200.png)

Eirika: What? Oh, no... I'm fine, Seth.

Seth: But you look so pale...

Eirika: I'm fine... Fine. ...This is war, isn't it? It's not at all like the games I used to play with my brother or Lyon. I never thought-- I didn?t know it would be this...savage. Are words useless? Is strength all that matters? It's so sad... Why would the Grado Empire do this? To what end would they start a war?

Seth: Princess...

Eirika: ...Don't worry, Seth. I won't give in to sorrow . Let's get moving. I'm not broken, and I won't stop until I see Renais restored. I won't stop until I'm reunited with my father and brother.

Well thats all for this entry.

You play with all females and no Tower, you play with less-than-base-level Amelia and underleveled Marisa.

Then again there's still Myrrh, so the last two Chapters would be taken care of.

I gotta say this is one of my favorite FEs thanks to the branching promotion system.  Playing as Lyon is a pretty cool feature too.

FE8 All Females is actually remotely difficult, but I don't know if that's the intention of this run.

In any case, shoot down the man who says not to use Neimi over Innes.

I'd also use both but I just hate Innes >:[

Considering he already said no/little Tower abuse, that's a tall demand.

Ephraim/L'Arachel is better.  I say Innes/Eirika.  Or Innes/Joshua.  Both are reasonably amusing.

Also WE USE JOSHUA.  He has a Sweet Hat.

Ross is useable without tower abuse, Amelia is possible (Although very difficult), Ewan has almost chance at all. The one run I do through the Tower won't be enough.

FE8 All Females is actually remotely difficult, but I don't know if that's the intention of this run.

It isn't if it was I would playing on difficult. I don't want to be stuck with Erika, Vanessa and Neimi for the first few chapters and after that my prospect's don't get any better.

So far it seems Seth and the Lords are confirmed for useage. And were taking Erika's Route which i'm very familliar with due to me taking it on most playthrough's. As for Neimi vs. Innes neither one is too bad but I didn't use them to much seeing as I only used Innes on Hard mode and Neimi for my very first playthrough.

aka Love at First Flash

I never did quite understand the Joshua love, but w/ever

Where there's no incest, there's gay love.  (now with lesbian option in FE10)
I don't think there was ever gay incest though.

And wow I'm glad nobody I know IRL is viewing this post.

Tana: I can't! Not yet. We haven?t found Eirika and her companions yet. Eirika is my friend, and she needs my help. I won't abandon her. Oh, I know! Go and ask Father-- I mean King Hayden for more troops.

Soldier: Yes, Your Highness!

Breguet: Hmph. They're tenacious, but they have no hope of stopping our advance.

Soldier: What are your orders, sir?

Breguet: Ha! Orders? You just stand here and watch. I'll crush them myself!

Soldier: As you command, sir.

So we get erracated by 1% crits and the FFVI Light of Judgement oh joy...

Tana: Call off your forces and turn back, or you'll have me to deal with!

Breguet: Is that so? And who might you be?

Tana: Who--? I am Tana, Princess of Frelia. I will not permit you to abuse my country any longer.

Breguet: Frelia's royal brat, huh? How convenient...

Tana: Leave this castle immediately. If you harm me, my father and brother will chase you to the earth's end.

Breguet: Yes, I've heard of how King Hayden dotes on his precious little daughter. Let's see how true that is. You?ll make us a fine hostage, my dear. Seize the girl and lock her up!

Soldier: Right away, sir!

Tana: No! Let me go!

(http://i401.photobucket.com/albums/pp95/akruta/FESSLP%20CH1/FireEmblem-theSacredStonesGBA_19.png)

Eirika: Seth, look...

Seth: I see it. It seems like Grado's army has already reached Frelia. Princess, this place is perilous. We should bypass Mulan altogether and head straight to the castle.

Eirika: But we can't just ignore this... You were there when Renais was invaded... You saw what I saw. You saw how the people suffered at the hands of Grado's soldiers. Homes were destroyed, possessions stolen, women kidnapped... Anyone who resisted was executed without question, without hesitation.

Seth: ...

Eirika: Please, Seth. I can't allow that to happen here. I don't want to see any more people harmed by Grado's atrocities.

Seth: All right, Princess. I understand. Perhaps we can retake Mulan. But, Princess, you must act with caution. Your people need you, too.

Eirika: Of course, Seth. Come on! Let's go!

Okay first things First lets see how close Erika is to getting more Sword Skill.

(http://i401.photobucket.com/albums/pp95/akruta/FESSLP%20CH1/FireEmblem-theSacredStonesGBA_22.png)

Okay she got about half the skill needed for Rank D this means she should get to it at some point this chapter.

(http://i401.photobucket.com/albums/pp95/akruta/FESSLP%20CH1/FireEmblem-theSacredStonesGBA_23.png)

I decide to have Seth do Jeigan duty and visit the houses while Erika heads twoard the enemy troops.

(http://i401.photobucket.com/albums/pp95/akruta/FESSLP%20CH1/FireEmblem-theSacredStonesGBA_24.png)

Man: It looks like they?ve seized the castle gate, too. Smart work--the gate provides defense and heals wounds to boot. They must be fierce warriors to have taken the gate. Watch yourself.

Yeah typical bosses sit on a gate or throne.

(http://i401.photobucket.com/albums/pp95/akruta/FESSLP%20CH1/FireEmblem-theSacredStonesGBA_28.png)

Breguet: Ha ha! It really is my lucky day! Fame and fortune ride to meet me! Move on, you slugs! Bring that girl to me!

The fighter charges Erika but the battle doesn't go to well...

(http://i401.photobucket.com/albums/pp95/akruta/FESSLP%20CH1/FireEmblem-theSacredStonesGBA_29.png)

(http://i401.photobucket.com/albums/pp95/akruta/FESSLP%20CH1/FireEmblem-theSacredStonesGBA_33.png)

SUDDENLY REINFORCEMENTS!

(http://i401.photobucket.com/albums/pp95/akruta/FESSLP%20CH1/FireEmblem-theSacredStonesGBA_34.png)

Gilliam: Aye, we have. Her Highness Princess Tana should be inside the castle.

Franz: But look -- the countryside is crawling with Grado soldiers! Where's the castle guard! Has Mulan fallen? Are we too late?

Gilliam: Too tough to say from here. Princess Tana's in no danger if they want her as a bargaining tool. We men of the Eastern Watch will see her to safety.

Franz: Yes...Yes, of course. We mustn't give up. We must move. We must retake the castle. Then, we ride forth to Princess Eirika's aid.

Gilliam: I've stronger armor then you do. I'll take the lead. Watch my back.

Now we get Gilliam the Knight and Franz the Cavalier both of them are good unit's that i've used on multiple playthroughs.

Gilliam is a typical Knight but he isn't ridiculously overpowered like some upon joining and he can get slightly injured by enemies.

(http://i401.photobucket.com/albums/pp95/akruta/FESSLP%20CH1/FireEmblem-theSacredStonesGBA_43.png)

I decide to have Gillaim and Franz kill off this soldier because I don't want to risk it killing Erika.

(http://i401.photobucket.com/albums/pp95/akruta/FESSLP%20CH1/FireEmblem-theSacredStonesGBA_45.png)

(http://i401.photobucket.com/albums/pp95/akruta/FESSLP%20CH1/FireEmblem-theSacredStonesGBA_52.png)

Erika runs to a Fortress and uses a Vulnery while Seth visits another house.

(http://i401.photobucket.com/albums/pp95/akruta/FESSLP%20CH1/FireEmblem-theSacredStonesGBA_53.png)

Man: It looked like it could turn aside almost any blade you swing at it. I know my armor, though. I wager a good rapier or armorslayer could get through it.

And upon reciveing advice that Armor slayer slays armored things The enemy Turn begins and the Grado Soldiers decide that Franz and Gilliam make better targets.

(http://i401.photobucket.com/albums/pp95/akruta/FESSLP%20CH1/FireEmblem-theSacredStonesGBA_64.png)

Enemy Reinforcemets arrive from the south

(http://i401.photobucket.com/albums/pp95/akruta/FESSLP%20CH1/FireEmblem-theSacredStonesGBA_65.png)

Soldier:
I've found them! Stragglers from Renais! Don't let them get away!

(http://i401.photobucket.com/albums/pp95/akruta/FESSLP%20CH1/FireEmblem-theSacredStonesGBA_66.png)

This Turn I decided to move Erika away from the enemy reinforcements and I had Franz kill another enemy Fighter

(http://i401.photobucket.com/albums/pp95/akruta/FESSLP%20CH1/FireEmblem-theSacredStonesGBA_67.png)

I move Gilliam onto a Fortress to heal and on the enemy turn the other enemy fighter runs up and attacks Franz

(http://i401.photobucket.com/albums/pp95/akruta/FESSLP%20CH1/FireEmblem-theSacredStonesGBA_69.png)

(http://i401.photobucket.com/albums/pp95/akruta/FESSLP%20CH1/FireEmblem-theSacredStonesGBA_70.png)

(http://i401.photobucket.com/albums/pp95/akruta/FESSLP%20CH1/FireEmblem-theSacredStonesGBA_72.png)

It's my Turn now and I decide to have Erika go attack a Fighter to get some Weapon Skill and EXP.

(http://i401.photobucket.com/albums/pp95/akruta/FESSLP%20CH1/FireEmblem-theSacredStonesGBA_73.png)

It's a clean KO and if she gets hit Seth can rescue her.

(http://i401.photobucket.com/albums/pp95/akruta/FESSLP%20CH1/FireEmblem-theSacredStonesGBA_74.png)

(http://i401.photobucket.com/albums/pp95/akruta/FESSLP%20CH1/FireEmblem-theSacredStonesGBA_75.png)

She kills the Fighter and then this happens

(http://i401.photobucket.com/albums/pp95/akruta/FESSLP%20CH1/FireEmblem-theSacredStonesGBA_76.png)

Some strength would have been nice.

(http://i401.photobucket.com/albums/pp95/akruta/FESSLP%20CH1/FireEmblem-theSacredStonesGBA_77.png)

Franz should be able to kill the other Fighter

(http://i401.photobucket.com/albums/pp95/akruta/FESSLP%20CH1/FireEmblem-theSacredStonesGBA_78.png)

And he is.

(http://i401.photobucket.com/albums/pp95/akruta/FESSLP%20CH1/FireEmblem-theSacredStonesGBA_79.png)

(http://i401.photobucket.com/albums/pp95/akruta/FESSLP%20CH1/FireEmblem-theSacredStonesGBA_80.png)

(http://i401.photobucket.com/albums/pp95/akruta/FESSLP%20CH1/FireEmblem-theSacredStonesGBA_81.png)

Now lets have Gilliam take out the last fighter

(http://i401.photobucket.com/albums/pp95/akruta/FESSLP%20CH1/FireEmblem-theSacredStonesGBA_82.png)

(http://i401.photobucket.com/albums/pp95/akruta/FESSLP%20CH1/FireEmblem-theSacredStonesGBA_83.png)

Thankfully he hits meaning Seth wont have to do any work yet. Lets move him out of the way though

(http://i401.photobucket.com/albums/pp95/akruta/FESSLP%20CH1/FireEmblem-theSacredStonesGBA_84.png)

This forest looks fine.

On the enemy turn Franz kills Random Soldier #3 with ease on the counter attacks

(http://i401.photobucket.com/albums/pp95/akruta/FESSLP%20CH1/FireEmblem-theSacredStonesGBA_87.png)

On my Turn I decide to have Franz drop by Erika to have a small chat.

(If Franz talk to Eirika)

(http://i401.photobucket.com/albums/pp95/akruta/FESSLP%20CH1/FireEmblem-theSacredStonesGBA_88.png)

Eirika:
Franz, you made it through unscathed...

Franz:
Y-yes, Your Highness! I met up with Sir Gilliam of Frelia and explained the situation in Renais. He told me that Princess Tana was in danger as well, here at Mulan. We rode as swiftly as we could.

Eirika:
Tana is here? Franz, we must hurry!

Franz:
Understood!

Afterwords I have Erika move one space above Seth to lure the Soldier into range and kill them.

(http://i401.photobucket.com/albums/pp95/akruta/FESSLP%20CH1/FireEmblem-theSacredStonesGBA_90.png)

Which obviously happens and because soldiers suck this is all you really need to see.

(http://i401.photobucket.com/albums/pp95/akruta/FESSLP%20CH1/FireEmblem-theSacredStonesGBA_94.png)

So now she gets to use Steel Sword and save the Rapier for later.

(http://i401.photobucket.com/albums/pp95/akruta/FESSLP%20CH1/FireEmblem-theSacredStonesGBA_96.png)

Which she does to kill that crappy soldier. Meanwhile Franz also goes and talks to Seth.

(http://i401.photobucket.com/albums/pp95/akruta/FESSLP%20CH1/FireEmblem-theSacredStonesGBA_97.png)

Franz:
Y-yes... and you as well, General. As long as you lead us, sir, the Knights of Renais cannot lose!

Seth:
Franz, you and I must work together to protect Princess Eirika. I want you to ride with us.

Franz:
Sir! With honor, sir!

Now all thats left is Breguet who's a knight like Gilliam.

(http://i401.photobucket.com/albums/pp95/akruta/FESSLP%20CH1/FireEmblem-theSacredStonesGBA_98.png)

tldr he sucks lets just have Seth Charge because i'm lazy and were actually using him.

(http://i401.photobucket.com/albums/pp95/akruta/FESSLP%20CH1/FireEmblem-theSacredStonesGBA_104.png)

(http://i401.photobucket.com/albums/pp95/akruta/FESSLP%20CH1/FireEmblem-theSacredStonesGBA_105.png)

Seth missed

(http://i401.photobucket.com/albums/pp95/akruta/FESSLP%20CH1/FireEmblem-theSacredStonesGBA_107.png)

TYPICAL BOSS HEALING!!!

(http://i401.photobucket.com/albums/pp95/akruta/FESSLP%20CH1/FireEmblem-theSacredStonesGBA_108.png)

On the enemy Turn he just attacks.

(http://i401.photobucket.com/albums/pp95/akruta/FESSLP%20CH1/FireEmblem-theSacredStonesGBA_109.png)

And misses

(http://i401.photobucket.com/albums/pp95/akruta/FESSLP%20CH1/FireEmblem-theSacredStonesGBA_110.png)

(http://i401.photobucket.com/albums/pp95/akruta/FESSLP%20CH1/FireEmblem-theSacredStonesGBA_111.png)

Seth nearly levels off of him

(http://i401.photobucket.com/albums/pp95/akruta/FESSLP%20CH1/FireEmblem-theSacredStonesGBA_112.png)

And Erika Seizes the throne

(http://i401.photobucket.com/albums/pp95/akruta/FESSLP%20CH1/FireEmblem-theSacredStonesGBA_113.png)

(http://i401.photobucket.com/albums/pp95/akruta/FESSLP%20CH1/FireEmblem-theSacredStonesGBA_114.png)

Tana:
Sir Gilliam... I?m sorry, I never meant to cause you such trouble.

Gilliam:
It was no trouble. I live to serve, Princess.

(http://i401.photobucket.com/albums/pp95/akruta/FESSLP%20CH1/FireEmblem-theSacredStonesGBA_115.png)

Tana:
...Eirika?!? Is that really you?

Eirika:
Tana, what are you doing, so far form Castle Frelia?

Tana:
I heard that Renais had fallen, and I was so worried... But I'm glad to see that you're safe... Wait! Where is Ephraim? Is he well?

Eirika:
I wish I knew.

Tana:
You haven't heard from him? Oh, I hope he's not been harmed... Come, we must go to Castle Frelia. My lord father may know something.

Eirika: Thank you, Tana.

Now we get to go see the world map

(Screen goes inside Frelia Castle, with Tana and Hayden)

(http://i401.photobucket.com/albums/pp95/akruta/FESSLP%20CH1/FireEmblem-theSacredStonesGBA_119.png)

Hayden: You've no idea how I worried when I heard you were under attack at Border Mulan. You are not to leave again without my permission. Do you understand?

Tana: Don't be mad, Father. Look, I come bearing good news. Eirika! Come out now!

(http://i401.photobucket.com/albums/pp95/akruta/FESSLP%20CH1/FireEmblem-theSacredStonesGBA_120.png)

Hayden: Ah, Eirika! It does my heart good to see you safe.

Eirika: Thank you. I was able to escape the castle before Renais fell. But I'm not sure if my father...

Hayden: Yes. I... have received word of your father.

Eirika: Your Highness? Please tell me. If my father well?

Hayden: ...My friend King Fado...did not survive the fall of Renais Castle.

Eirika: ...No, it cannot be...

Seth: ......

Hayden: Rest assured, Grado will be punished for its cowardly act. This is Frelia's promise. Eirika, please stay here and rest. I cannot imagine how exhausted you must be.

Eirika: ......

Seth: King Hayden. You know of Prince Ephraim's disappearance, do you not?

Hayden: Yes, we hear the prince and his men hound Grado at every turn. It's said that he's led his forces into the empire itself. Reports suggest he's crossed the border and now fights in Renvall.

Eirika: My brother... He fights on? Even now?

Hayden: Yes. My pegasus knights bought this information at a great price. Even though Renais has fallen, he charges into the enemy's heart. He is truly Fado's son... What a valiant youth. I wish I knew whether he remains unharmed, but I do not.

Eirika: King Hayden, I thank you for your offer, but I cannot stay. I intend to ride to my brother's side with reinforcements.

Hayden: I cannot allow it. I know how you feel, but this plan is suicide. I would be betraying Fado's memory if I allowed any harm to befall you. Stay here. Rest and mourn. Leave this war to the warriors.

Eirika: I know you mean well, Your Majesty. However, I have lost my father, and my twin brother is in peril. My brother, he is a part of me... I cannot rest here in peace while he risks his life.

Hayden: No. Renais has no more army. Grado's forces decimated it. I wish Frelia could provide you with support, with soldiers, but... My son, Innes, is on his way to meet the empire's forces. We cannot spare a single brigade. Your own retinue of knights cannot possibly face Grado alone. Are you so determined to go?

Eirika: Yes. ...With apologies.

Hayden: ...As resolute as your father, eh? What am I to do in the face of such foolhardy determination? Vanessa.

(http://i401.photobucket.com/albums/pp95/akruta/FESSLP%20CH1/FireEmblem-theSacredStonesGBA_121.png)

Hayden: Moulder.

(http://i401.photobucket.com/albums/pp95/akruta/FESSLP%20CH1/FireEmblem-theSacredStonesGBA_122.png)

Hayden: Gilliam.

(http://i401.photobucket.com/albums/pp95/akruta/FESSLP%20CH1/FireEmblem-theSacredStonesGBA_124.png)

Hayden: You are to accompany Princess Eirika of Renais into Grado territory. I expect each of you to provide aid and support for her brother.

Moulder: Hmm. Quite a grave responsibility you've given us.

Vanessa: No matter the obstacles, we will perform our duty.

Gilliam: Our lives are yours.

Hayden: These are some of my most trusted and stalwart vassals. They will, no doubt, prove themselves quite valuable on your journey. Remember, you are venturing behind enemy lines. You will need supplies. I will have a supply convoy readied to carry your weapons and provisions. It will remain at your side, no matter how far afield you venture.

Eirika: King Hayden, I... Thank you.

Hayden: No, save your thanks for your return... with your brother, Prince Ephraim.

Eirika: Yes, Your highness!

(http://i401.photobucket.com/albums/pp95/akruta/FESSLP%20CH1/FireEmblem-theSacredStonesGBA_125.png)

(http://i401.photobucket.com/albums/pp95/akruta/FESSLP%20CH1/FireEmblem-theSacredStonesGBA_126.png)

Tana: I can't guess how you must feel, but its' just too dangerous. What would happen if you were captured by Grado's men?

Eirika:
Thank you for your concern, Tana. But I have no choice. Don't you see, Tana? I have to go.

Tana: Eirika... Oh, why is this happening? What's gone wrong with the world?

Eirika: Tana...

Tana: Why would Grado invade? Emperor Vigarde is a man of peace. His people adore him. And you and Ephraim are friends with Prince Lyon, are you not? What could be behind this madness? Why is this happening...

Eirika: I have no answers for you, Tana. I don't want to believe it, but the reality is that we are at war. If I do nothing, I may lose my brother as well as my father. This is why I have to fight. It's the only answer I have.

Y'know, I was playing this last night, and I thought that for a laugh, I'd have Eirika attack Breguet, because she had the Rapier.
And I distinctly recall that one guy saying that both Rapiers and Armorslayers can take down Heavily-Armored foes.

And as luck would have it, she one-shots him with a crit.
Levels off of it too.
I'd say that I was damn lucky, but maybe she had the advantage due to the rapier?
I wouldn't really know though, as I've not played an FE game before.
But due to experience with games like this, I do fairly well.

Hell, I got my start playing games like these with Final Fantasy Tactics.
The original one for PS1.
Which made for some immensely amusing and infuriating late-game random encounters.

Y'know, I was playing this last night, and I thought that for a laugh, I'd have Eirika attack Breguet, because she had the Rapier.
And I distinctly recall that one guy saying that both Rapiers and Armorslayers can take down Heavily-Armored foes.

And as luck would have it, she one-shots him with a crit.
Levels off of it too.
I'd say that I was damn lucky, but maybe she had the advantage due to the rapier?
I wouldn't really know though, as I've not played an FE game before.
But due to experience with games like this, I do fairly well.
Eirika (assuming one point above base stats) will die in two hits to Breguet (attacking him on the player phase + him attacking you on the enemy phase) with Breguet attacking at ~76% accuracy.  Eirika will kill Breguet in two hits at about the same accuracy, plus she doubles, plus she has a 12% chance of critting with either hit.

It's a roll of the dice but the odds favor Eirika.

I don't have the stats available offhand but Hard Mode Breguet probably won't die in two Rapier hits, so Eirika is probably toast unless she crits.

Now that I think about it, she had scored a level earlier on in the map, nothing much to write home about on the growth aspect though.

I could've save state abused to get a good stat growth if I felt like it, but I'm a lazy *bleep*.

...I may start over again to get good growths though, just so I can get through easier, and have better stats when I give my units a PRRRRRRRROMOTION (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c65V4hg5WMk&feature=related).

Also, she only needed to hit once, as her first hit was a crit.

Oh hey, sacred stones.

How I loved thee, with your class branches and the fact you contained my first favorite FE class, the Rogue~

*coughs*
Also, get Colm to Rogue.
Do it.
Mine had like, 90 dodge, and maxed str, spd, and luck. He never died, ever.

Although an assassin is fine too. Those 50% chance of instant kill on critical hit is great fun to play with.

Make Amelia into a General and she'll be the fastest damn general you'll ever see.

But she seems to lack a bit of power for me, so Franz support and access to the whole weapon triangle ftw.

Yeah, General is my favorite choice, but she ends up capping her speed really quick though.  Not sure about Franz support though.

Amelia boosts Franz's somewhat lacking evasion and defense. And both parties get a 15% critical rate, which is delicious.

Either way, Amelia will double EVERYTHING. Except those demon dog things, but they usually do zero damage to Amelia anyways.

That's pretty solid logic.

Amelia's the Peg Knight you get at the outset of the game proper, right?
I've slept since I last played, so the Ol' memory banks are a tad fuzzy.

That's Vanessa.
Amelia is the Recruit (the one who can barely hold up a lance in her animations).

Ah, what chapter does she join in?

I've only made it up to the part where Innes and Colm join.
Sadly though, Innes had fallen to a lucky hit shortly after recruiting Colm, so I hit reset.
Haven't touched it since.

You're getting your characters mixed up.~

Amelia doesn't come in for quite the ways from where you're at.

Ah, so i'd have to abuse the Tower to get her anywhere?

But about me mixing up characters, it's quite understandable really, the Ol' Memory Banks just aren't what they used t' be...

As far as making her a unit you would actually want to use, yes.
The last time I checked she was at the very bottom of an efficiency tier list.

Hmm....As I thought.

Being good at Strategy Games like this are something I pride myself on.

Nah, that would be Ewan.

Ewan is second-from-last. 
At least he uses magic, meaning he can hit enemies indirectly without Javelin accuracy - making him remotely trainable without the Tower.
