Plus the whole point is to make the enemy mistake you for a huge attacking force and pull them away from where the main army os striking.

Having a guy run off screaming "oh god, they're here!" is actively to the plans benefit

So I guess the plan is to take the castle and then fight this battle the other way, when the besieging army returns to try and take it back?

I think the idea is that if you take the heirophant, the enemies either surrender or fall imto disarray.
Either way it probably doesnt end well for the heirophant.

Law Vyce (as in the Vyce on the law path) ends up being a decent guy and once you have proven that you can actually do some good is happy to go back to following you.

The thing is, I was kind of expecting to denam to sacrifice him out of "necessity" at some point. Him joining the party as a non guest tells me we don't reward his trust with a knife in the back.

She decided she hates the man who lovingly raised her based solely on the words of the comically evil man that they wanted revenge against as their only goal initially.

She's a dick at heart, and not very sympathetic.

Screw being sympathetic to her. We are doing what needs to be done and she spit on us and everyone who ever loved her by siding with evil McGee. If she's started standing in the way of progress after that it's her problem.

I can't really give her any poo poo for siding with him, since Lanselot cornered her when she was off by herself. It's not like she was going to fight off the entire Dark Knight command unit by herself.

Her taking a swing at Denam when he found her again was some crazy bullshit though.

I mean she's not exactly under duress here. All it took to get her on team evil guys was being told "he's not your REAL dad."

Update: The end.

I'm sorry folks, I really tried.

I've gone back to this dungeon four times in the last... month? since my last update, and never made it further than a fight before losing interest in playing almost completely.

I've had a lot going on in my life the last little while, but I think I've lost my mojo for the game completely.

I'm very proud of the fact that I made it through the game, which was always my intention, I had hoped to do the post game, but, hands in the air, it beat me.

This was an incredible game, and I'm very grateful that you've all stuck around for over 12 months to allow me the opportunity to show you it.

It's cool man. Grata on knocking out the campaign. The end game looks so horrible I think it's a good thing you're bowing out.

I will never understand why programmers can't write an AI that at least tells those characters to "run close to your allies" or, just to make it loving simple, let the player control them. I was just looking at mods for Final Fantasy Tactics and most of them specifically said "The player can now control guest characters!". I understand fully the need for an '!' there.

The best guess I have is that he got made so tanky that someone else was always the squishier target. The ai doesn't seem to prioritize people you need to defend, hence the naked vice strats.

Minor complaint but I think you have these flipped. The "follow in this madness?" line is Law route when you agree with Leonar's plan for Balmamusa, and "they're as good as dead" is Chaos when you refuse.

Excellent breakdown of the motivations and character growth here in the CODA. Makes me glad I'm playing through the game again (and about to go through PotD for the first time on this save :smithicide:)

If you want to defend him on technicalities that definitely weren't intended, Vyce basically picks the path you don't. It's probably how the mistake got made in the first place.

Yes, there's still an additional post game dungeon untouched with its own associated storyline, and the end coda fight we just saw has a different outcome if you use a different unit configuration.

If one was playing on an emulator (and why wouldn't we, the PSP is an ergonomic mess), can save states be exploited for crafting or does the seeding of the RNG work in a way that prevents that? I would never play this game on native hardware for a number of reasons, one of which I just mentioned, and I fancy that I'm not alone. So, it's worth asking.

Honestly at that point what's the difference with just putting in a cheat code to make it always work? Which you could and should totally do

The original was too niche to merit how good the psp port was anyways, so I hold out hope.

Tactics Ogre is held up as incredibly influential or groundbreaking with SE staff, former and current. They haven't done anything with it obviously, but I think the game carries a lot of weight with a few people there still.

To be fair, from what I've seen they're ditching levels being tied to classes and some other stuff people didn't like from the psp version. There's hope that the endgame is less of a comical grind and that something is done with the godawful crafting system they added.

The actual main campaign is fantastic, so I dont think anyone really cares if that gets left alone.

Picked up the remaster with some of my overtime money because I really enjoyed the thread. Goddamn, it's even better playing it.
E: Seriously though, I'm about to be a weenie that's opposed to things like slaughtering towns of the people I'm fighting to protect and the soundtrack is loving great. Love the horns.

It also helps that its a lot easier to keep all these people and factions straight when I'm mainlining the plot and not viewing the plot in lp time.

I would say 'try again', but I don't know if it will help.

Is there any other way to backup the photos and videos? They wouldn't take up that much space, and what I've found with LPs that never leave the forums is that the videos are lost first while the photos take some years, but eventually all that is left is the text. Presumably videos and screencaps could be stored offline just in case.

If the photos are on imgur, there was a policy change over there a while back that stuff gets deleted for inactivity after a period. So video will last longer right now waiting for barudak to return or hand off the reigns.
