TMS is my candidate for the best game nobody has played. Love the music, the artstyle, the combat and the dungeons.

Plus, I've been sort of waiting for a LP, because a gameplay element gave me a fun idea for people to give fanart of.

Artix, I know a website that has a list of all the possible skills for every character, as well as every Carnage. Should I link it to you so you can use it to give, like, character analysis or something?

Okay, can I just be the first person to say that I loving love whoever designed this game's weapons? They look cool and artistic and fancy and I love it.

Itsuki's Falcion is simple, but elegant. The golden... leafing, I want to say? I'm no weapon expert. The swirly-handle stuff. It looks nice.

Tsubasa's Iron Feather is very pretty, it has this nice swirling to it and the colors look nice.

Touma's Iron Lance has the cool inverse triple prongs and the chain wrapped around it that makes it looks very stylized.

By the way, I guess I should point something out:

Itsuki's last name, Aoi, is the Japanese word for azure, a shade of blue. Most Lords in the series have blue hair.

Tsubasa means "wing" in Japanese.

A character in Touma's name means "horse", while his surname, Akagi, means "Red castle".

Look, buddy, I'm gonna put this as nicely as I can without going thermonuclear so bear with me. Okay?

Stop. Trying. To backseat LP.

I promise you, I've got this. I don't need you to link me to guides with skill lists, and I definitely don't need you to link to song lyrics of any kind, especially songs that have yet to even play. There is a time and a place where these things will be appropriate, and when I am ready for them, I will post them myself. So please, by all means sit back and enjoy the LP, but leave it to me. I will not be so nice next time, do not test my patience.

I am incredibly sorry, I was just trying to be nice and helpful. I will refrain from doing so in the future unless you ask.

Am I the only one who sees Traport as Caeda flying the party out of the dungeon? Or Estoma as Touma throttling the Cavalier motorcycle and saying something like "Out of the way, small fry! Hero, coming through!"?

Gentle Embrace actually has another effect: If Tsubasa is in the active party, the other two members heal more HP with THEIR healing skills as well. It's nice for Itsuki (he can learn some single-target healing spells) as well as party members 4 and 6, who both can also learn some healing magic.

One thing about HP Fitness: Every character learns it at some point.

Why can you not just let someone LP at their own pace, instead of forcefully interjecting yourself each time?

Because I really like this game and this LP and am super excited and can't wait for future things to happen? Because I'm passionate and a bit impatient? Because I think Artix is doing a bang-up job?

Junpei, if you're truly finding it difficult to restrain yourself from posting spoilers, please get in touch with the moderation team. We can help you with that. We specialise in restraining posters.

Thank you for the offer, but I think I'll just lurk until the last party member joins.

Artix, you're doing a bang-up job and I apologize for my earlier request. You have my full support.

Nah, Azura would be an evil mirage who follows an illogical, poorly explained set of beliefs that tells her how destroying earth (or whatever) is totally the best course of action, guys. After being disproved by the party's power of friendship every 5 minutes for 30 hours, she lets the party past a barrier in the final dungeon and dies randomly.

I may have been reading too many "sociopath Azura" fancomics.

...you know, these comments about an improbable sequel are giving me an idea for an RP or fanfic or fangame of some sort.

Another shown point of paying attention to detail is that characters can sometimes shout out the name of the next person in a Session. I know I've heard Tsubasa go "Touma-san!", and Touma go "Kiria!", and a few other characters do the same thing.

I really wish the in-combat incidental dialogue was subbed, I want to know what my squad of goofballs are shouting to each other.

You can usually tell what's going on. It's usually idle chatter between party and Mirage (Tharja does creepy chuckle, Kiria says her name in a questioning tone, Itsuki and Chrom say a badass line in unison) or commentary on the the condition of the fight (Itsuki yelling Tsubasa's name if she's KOed, Touma groaning because he's poisoned).

Yeah, my bad, I actually meant "non-textual warning". The session list also points to null/repel/drains with an yellow :| emoticon for nulls and a red :-( for repel and drains.

It also warns of things it doesn't know about with the yellow symbol. Just as a "Hey, this could work or it couldn't, just FYI"

Fun little note: You see the necklace... thing that Touma's leopard print costume (which I agree is cool as hell and wish I could have in real life) is wearing? It's a cow skull, specifically a bull. In the original games, Cain's epithet was "The Bull".

Oh, question. A couple of Carnages are based on/named after legendary weapons in the different FE games. Will you explain their origins when they come up?

Oh wow, I never noticed Ilyana is the waitress.

So I guess that's 1 and a half Tellius references in this game. Are there any other references to not FE1 or 13 in this game?
Some high-end Carnages are named after legendaries all around the series. Off the top of my head, there's FE1-3 ones, Judgral ones, Elibe ones and Tellius ones.
