There's a speedrun of The Sacred Stones going on at AGDQ right now.

Oh god this run and the FE7 run from this year have inspired me to start speedrunning Fire Emblem, I think. I gotta prove myself...to be the best.

Actually before I get to speedrunning I think I'm going to give Radiant Dawn another shot. I haven't played it in, geez, five years and I stopped because I am too much of a wussy baby for normal mode. Or rather, the Dawn Brigade could not handle that chapter near the end of part 1 and I got mercilessly destroyed. I think you have the BK but I didn't wanna use him to solo the chapter...


...Knowing easy=normal, and normal=hard in this game, am I missing anything by just playing it on "easy" this time?

It appears my memory is totally hosed, since I checked my Radiant Dawn savefiles and I have saves halfway through Part 3

...Think I'll just start over regardless.

Weapons in Sword of Seals have really bad accuracy and Thrones giving an extra 30 avoid on top of it doesn't help anything. That Steel Axe? Only a 50% chance of hitting before you add in the enemy's avoid. Stick to swords and lances if you ever want to hit anything.

Well hey it's better than that Fire Emblem game where they give you an Axe as a reward and you have no Axe users in that game

Well. I tried this but Lyn got randomized into a Nomad and the first enemy freezes the game. Welp.

vvv: Ah, they provide saves. Cool beans.

Do you guys use the "Fix" patch for the randomizer or no? It's got a lot of features I'd rather not have, like buffing weak classes.

Right, it's time to disable random items. I get poo poo like an iron axe that can attack from anywhere on the map but crashes the game as a result (especially when counterattacks), and other things like that.

The amount of actual game breaking things I get seems to be a bit too high.

The animations in Awakening are the best, uh, animated of the 3D Fire Emblems but the models are still ugly as gently caress so I turned them off after a while. I kept them on for years with the sprite games but after a while you just want things to speed up.

But Awakening literally has a speedup button :confused:

Speaking of, the last chapter you use the Dawn Brigade is is Really loving Hard. I dunno, it felt the first few times I tried it, that it would be seriously impossible to progress. That is, unless I just abused the black knight being there as much as possible. Ultimately I didn't, but still.

Now you're all gonna tell me that chapter is actually pretty easy and I'm just bad, right? (I wouldn't be surprised). I was on Hard, though.

Okay, I actually know jack poo poo about Fates. Is it a good game? Will the English version be good? Are all the changes they made to the game (they removed weapon uses, right?) any good?

Is there any place I can read up on these things without getting spoiled.

Oh and growths are really skewed overall and it has the lowest combined HP growths in the series.

Does this mean it doesn't have that thing like Awakening where every single character is good and will just +1 every stat on every level pretty much?

Also kinda sad to hear infinite leveling is out.
