I have probably said this before, but it bears repeating: I love when an enemy's reaction to you showing up is "oh poo poo, the protagonists, this is going to suck". I mean it's probably meant to convey this guy being a useless coward, but it really just makes him seem like the only one who knows what's up.

 When you think about it, I'm kind of like a jrpg protagonist, enduring all sorts of hardships so that others won't have to suffer. (Unfortunately, lping runs on something like Final Fantasy II rules, so the only stat gains you get out of it are the ones that make you better at lping.  )((Edit: Or sometimes not even that, obviously. 2))

Gharnef following you around menacingly and then deciding that it's no fun when you're faster than him and leaving is kind of funny. Sort of speaking of, a Fire Emblem game set in fantasy Egypt would own bones. I mean as long as they didn't set it entirely on desert maps or something, then it would suck.

I had the most ridiculous luck with the treasures on that map, everybody just picked them up the moment they stepped on the right tile, thief or not, just poof, treasure. I'm beginning to wonder if I accidentally poked something I didn't mean to while I was editing the rom Serenes claims the ring is 100% for Sophia, though.

I'd say traditional rpgs are the best for the format, especially ones with kind of meh gameplay - then the reader isn't really losing anything by not playing it. (As for the ease of LPing it, srpgs are ~about the same amount of time and effort as regular jrpgs.) vilkacis fucked around with this message at 16:57 on Apr 11, 2017 |

Pretty sure all the 2D Fire emblems gave me in the 20-30 hour range. You can probably get through most games from the snes era and earlier in less than 30 hours, and it's not as if everything after that is huge either. The first Suikoden's like 15 hours, 2 and 4 are 25ish.

Oh goddammit  I looked at the Shirow art and decided she was probably wearing some kind of shorts and leggings combo, but nope. Boots with shoes on top. Fire Emblem! On the plus side, at least that version is wearing something above the... boots. But that also made me notice that she lost the whatever-it-was in time for New Mystery.  On the plus side, Minerva does indeed look rad in general. vilkacis fucked around with this message at 13:31 on Jun 3, 2017 |

According to historical scriptures, the second sword that he wielded was a gift bequeathed upon him by the Archangel Michael. Parthia posted:Parthia is an ancient country that once existed in the southwestern part of Asia. Becoming a powerful empire around the 2nd century BCE, it collapsed in the 3rd century CE.

Yeah, I figure most of the cavs get their armour done in the same colour as their hair, so my ~headcanon~ is firmly on Jagen having purple hair before it turned white.
