Oh thank gently caress, I thought I was the only one who absolutely hated Miledy's name. Every goddamn time I saw it, I was thinking "fat man in fedora."

I'm loving your changes.

I don't mind Miledy, but I always responded poorly to the Milady change, I don't care if it's an actual name and Melody is completely unfitting. I also react this way to Jerrot

The spoilered name is totally a rare root vegetable, not a human being. Also, I meant Milady; Miledy just makes me think of mildew, which is, um, a mild improvement, I guess.

I think it's high time that some useless character late in the game is replaced by a certain axe wielding maniac from the prequel to this game.

By which I mean just dump some random prepromote you'll never use, and bring in Hector.

Kids! :negative:

He was going for Rutger Hauer, probably most famous [at least in nerdy circles] as the "villain" Roy Batty from Blade Runner.

Loving the edits, Vil. :D Did you actually change Roy's portrait in-game for that chapter?

Edit: Holy cow, Blade Runner is as old as I am. :staredog:

Goddamn, that's why I recognized that face.

So, speaking of localization and Clarine...remember when she says "Hmph, I will not be friendly with you..."? Well, turns out, that was just a flat mistranslation, as according to Gringe, the guy who did the new localization (he frequents Serenes Forest)...


So there we go. Pretty interesting huh?

My takeaway is that Clarine is far better than generic mildly-uptight noble jrpg heroine #735.

Also that literal translations aren't always the best kind of translation.

If someone remakes this game, they'd drat well either save hector or have him mortally wound one of the people he's fighting against.

That is seriously cool. Not just because you found a way to save hector while also keeping Bern a credible threat, but also because of the shifting objectives.

Plus, there's gotta be some stupidly good player who could defeat the bern troops here, so it's even a rather hard challenge as well!

You should have Lilina grow facial hair as well and have her compete with Roy to see who has the most by the end of the game. You can base it on stat total or something.


Pretty sure there's an image of her with hector's beard from Artix's LP

I'd like to keep it to Roy, watching his beard slowly grow has been marvelous

Just boost her movement by 2, no need for class changes.

Also get rid of her from the sprite, and make her a talking horse healer.

One option for Cecilia could be to keep her bases the same but give her sky high growths. It would even make thematic sense because you could say she had to work her way back into fighting shape after being badly injured.

That's...not quite how injuries or recovery work.

If you were actually going for the Pratchett reference, "Elphin" (goddammit how did I miss that) had better have a guitar in his sprite.

The FE8 LP was a fun thread that inspired many great things.

Seriously, check out the fanart section, it's pretty ridiculous.



I was lurking then (and had been for...3 years by then, I think,) but I remember it, just like I very fondly remember the FE fangames thread.

Doesn't Awful Emblem already have the female axe lord combat sprite made?

Lilina needs to avenge her dad.

I'm actually not certain if it's all that easy to let a magic character use a strength weapon or not.

Besides, Roy is going to turn into a palette swapped version of hector soon enough. Or of Athos. It all depends on how long his beard gets, I figure.

It's the way she's curiously familiar, yet looks nothing like the lady with the butterfly mask in that one early map, isn't it?

I actually think it's because of her hairstyle that goes completely straight by her neck, and also the razor-thin tiara on her forehead.

But the deja-vu contributes, yes.

It's not that thin.



I mean, three pixels isn't a lot, but her actual face isn't more than like 30-35 pixels tall.


When her glasses take up 20% of her sprite and there's a 3 pixel wide line above them, it's pretty weird. It looks like she has wrinkles.

Percy did try to murder Roy, it was just proactive self-defense on the latter's part with a few tragic results for the former.

Also why the hell is Lilina standing in front of what seems by all accounts to be a bandit and refusing to move.

I'm pretty sure a real bandit would kill her and steal her stuff. So you really did the world a favor by killing the lovely bandit instead of recruiting him. He'd just actively bring down the killing instinct of your team.
