10 I'll have to give myself a Prrrrrrromotion!
The Year is 2015.
Awakening has sold gangbusters.
Paper Mario Sticker Star has crashed and burned.
Somehow, both games are getting a sequel.
Fire Emblem Fates is that sequel. With more involved mechanics, map exclusive mechanics, removed cheese, refined difficulty,
Broadly considered one of the most widely disliked FE games.
For reasons that are not unwarranted, yes, but come along with me and you'll understand that this game has more to offer to a dedicated player than a casual fan, paradoxically. For all of the beamoaning how the series was now "Too anime" and "Infested By CASUALS", Fates arguably gives the real Hard Mode Gaming fans what they want over the 3ds noobs, to an extent only somewhat matched by future entries. Fates is a game of experimentation, vastly increasing the scope of combat by including more moving variables from combat to combat, more control over how units grow and change class, and also Gay Marriage! Gay marriage is suboptimal for mixed attacker builds but that's besides the point.
Streetpass! Fates has an integrated streetpass system for distributing your customizable main character Corrin (You're probably familiar with them as the girl from smash bros with
Using the below google form, you can, without ever having had even played the game, or really understanding a ton about it, give me a corrin to use in my playthrough!

However, all corrins must know that they're fighting for their lives. in this Playthrough of Revelation Hard/Classic, permadeath is ENABLED. Your corrins CAN and perhaps WILL die. I, personally, have never played through Rev before in its entirety despite owning all 3 routes since launch, and although since I'm playing on the middle difficulty and have a lot of experience with the game's mechanics, I do NOT know everything.
Anyway, yeah back to Bootleg Chapter 10
,,This is The point of the game where they expect you to start doing your promotions I suppose. this master seal will be put to good use shortly
Anya gets a pretty great level up off of Aura farming off of these armor nights which is going to make up the remainder of her contributions to this mission
Meanwhile on the left instead of getting the dual club, which is pretty nice to have, we get the very very nice levin sword which I will be making proper use out of for the rest of this play through. Magic weapons in this game are very very good their base power is incredibly high relative to most tomes and just about any character with a workable magic stat, which in this case includes pretty much all corrins, That are in a physical class can make excellent use out of them there's even one for every single physical weapon type! And luckily for us this isn't like engage, where there's only like two of them that are any good
Korny gets a very Ninja level
Getting Anya's tome rank up is going to be very helpful so aura farming off all these armor knights is the best thing she can be doing right now
This upcoming group of enemies is a little bit threatening so I decide to throw Yoseph as a pair up partner. Four defense is no joke.
Anyway we've been a ninja for a little while, and I think it's about time we get some nice big stat boosts on Korny
This is a pretty massive stat boost including five strength and six resistance, So we're sure to get a lot of mileage out of this dreadfighter is a kind of multi talented ninja esque class with an extra emphasis on magic defense and she can also use axes for some reason presumably just because it worked like that in awakening. Sadly we don't get the awakening dread fighters tom usage instead having daggers but hey it is what it is.
With this new stat spread she's going to be a lot better at enemy phasing
Wompus gets a nice level off sweeping up the remaining central enemies
Truly untouchable
shit
While these reinforcements seem a little bit touchy they aren't actually that bad cause all our best units are right here
Post automatically merged:
Vesthal you're killing me you gotta get those numbers up
More Aura Farming! Bowbreaker is paying dividends
A second identical outlaw thinks you can also take Korny and dies to the exact same combat calculations
An acceptable level up for marginal gain
Korny also gets a skill that bumps up her res... but like only sometimes. skills are skills I guess
Ah the low percent samus crit... haven't had one of those in a while
This may look slightly dicey but anya can handle these guys no sweat, because none of them actually have javelins. I love doubling at 1-2 range!
The right team is moving in and I'm trying to form them up to take care of all these moving enemies although the most threatening ones the generals don't move at all
Let's slap on a rally, for luck
These armors do a non insignificant amount of damage especially with the general's dual strikes but luckily PDG has the dual katana to just dodge them all
Another segment that took a couple minutes. This turn was really tough to get through but I managed to worm my way out of it
