Aren't route splits just the best? Unlike choosing a house in Three Houses, you can just save before the choice and reload if you want to play the other route.
The Norden Line. Famous for having the character you need to actually kill one of your units to get, and another that depends on how Chapter 15 ended. Great design all around.
Let's see...one enemy Brigand going for the houses behind me...
And a bunch of armors that don't move until you're in range.
And there's Kempf and his three Dark Bishops again even though I'm certain we killed them all in Chapter 14.
Wait, Kempf was the Mage Knight I froze to death back then? I never noticed.
Meanwhile the chapter boss is...
...what! Come on! I have to kill Carrion? I kind of liked that guy even though his accomplishments include getting the Paragon Sword and that's about it.
Well, let's get going and get those houses and Ballista under control.
You don't suppose this is a waste of Blizzard, do you?
It's a single Ballista. I don't think we need to go that far this time.
I'm contributing!
Wow, Olwen, you sure are great, saving us a single Pure Water!
Great enough to not get killed for the Eyrios replacement?
AHAHAHAHAHAHA
Huh. Weird to put a Lockpick in a house, but I suppose I could use a few.
That must be the new unit. We'll need somebody to lure him out.
And I know just the person to do it.
Wait a minute! NOW WAIT A MINUTE! DON'T DO THIS!
You ARE the weakest link. Good-bye!
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Okay so now Karin recruits this guy--
Uh. Where's the talk option?
...Let me guess. Caeda again?
Dunno why that's surprising anymore.
Oh my god I'm alive! I guess Leif found out the new unit sucks and changed his mind--
YOU ARE HORRIBLE, LEIF!
Okay, now who do we have here?
Oh my god that's an Ekard! But who the heck is this?
That would be Lawson, a mid-boss from the third chapter of Fire Emblem Gaiden.
Seriously?! Of all the Gaiden characters to include, a random mid-boss? One whose portrait was recycled and edited? Shame the remake completely re-designed him I guess, that hairdo is crazy.
Well, time to clean up all the armors. You know I'm starting to wonder if armors serve any sort of purpose. There are dozens upon dozens of ways to cut down their defenses, after all.
This one might be tricky but I need another staff.
Aaaaand shit a Meteor Bishop that moves. Well, Sothe should be able to draw it away from the others. He just has to dodge ten giant flaming rocks, no biggie!
Now THIS is a siege weapon.
Oh great, here comes the reinforcements...
Oh...oh god. Oh GOD. How many junk enemies do you need to flood the map with?!
There's so many enemies it's causing graphical glitches!
We might need this soon.
Well, time to have Dalshin do the usual strategy!
It never gets old!
This turn out even better than expected!
Oh...SHIT that's Kempf!
And he's got the Darkness Sword that halves the enemy's attack power!
Ha! If he thinks he can hit me with such pathetic odds--
Fuck now I'm poisoned. I almost forgot that was a status effect. I think I got poisoned more often in Shining Force.
What can you do against such a sword?
Oh right. Animaslayer.
The mileage we're getting out of this thing is crazy.
GAME SET!
Wait what? They're running away?
Oh right, after you take out a boss, the enemies under his command flee. I forgot about that mechanic.
Yeah that's great but the Dark Bishops are getting away with the rare items they have!
Ah well, at least that cuts down on the amount of time that we spend fighting--
NO PLEASE GOD NO! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
And so, even MORE turns later...
And ANOTHER Dalshin movement point...
We FINALLY clean up the--
YOU HAVE GOT TO BE SHITTING ME!
Fuck it, let's just punch through to the castle, I don't give a shit anymore.
Steal all that good shit, the Master Seal especially.
And the house recruits Sleuf. I never understood the name.
But I do understand the phrase "We finally have a fucking Warp user".
Anyhow the boss is nothing at all to speak of.
Uh...Leif? Bit of bad news.
....What is it.
We...didn't actually need to kill Olwen to get Lawson. The hacker changed that.
...So we just killed someone for no reason.
Yep.
The LP on Serenesforest.net fucking LIED TO ME. Oh well, it's not like we needed her to recruit someone of critical importance later on in the game, right?
Uh...about that--
SORRY CAN'T HEAR YOU!
ZOMBIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIE!!!!
