[FE8] HoloEmblem: The Search for Seiso (42 Chapters) [v.1.8.2] Out Now!

Valentines has barely started where I live. Have some patience

I make some fan-made crit quotes just modern FE games, Awakening-style! (they don’t appear actually in this hack, but I imagine the girls say this when they crit or activate a combat skill, e.g. Noel’s Colossus for example). These are not necessarily the best I can think for each girl, some are even pretty uncreative, but I tried, okay? These are for the first ~21 characters in the game (up to chapter 8).

Amelia's Crit Quotes

“REEEEEEEEE!!!”
“Nothing beats a ground pound!”
“Prepare to get f***ed!” (alternatively for no vulgar version, “Prepare to get caught red-handed!”)
The clue is… there!

Reine's Crit Quotes

“By the name of the Peafowl!”
“Easy as pie!”
“…Anyways…”
“Too late for mercy!”

Fauna's Crit Quotes

“What nature gives… nature takes away!”
“I will slap you silly!”
“You won’t leave away…”
“Just nature running it’s course.”

Mumei's Crit Quotes

“Oh hi!”
“It’s mooming time!”
“Humanity only lasts so long!”
“We live in a society!”

Miko's Crit Quotes

“I’ll exorcise you!”
“This is the power of the Elite Miko!”
“I’ll avenge Shike!”
“Janken… PON!”

Suisei's Crit Quotes

“I’m cute today!”
“Sparkling like a shooting star!”
“What did you said!? Huh!?!”
“Here’s Suisei!” (Yes, I did not forget this meme and how it actually fits her.)

Bael's Crit Quotes

“HAAHAHAAHAHA!” (basically a crazy chaotic laugh.)
“Roll a dice!”
“Boom, BOOOM!”
“Rat pack, attack!”

Nene's Crit Quotes

“Matanene!” (Technically, it’s also her death quote, but it has “goodbye” as part of it and it could work for the last thing to say before ending someone’s existence)
“Please don’t divorce me for this!”
“I’m sorry, husband!”
“For everyone’s love!”

Polka's... Quotes (she can't fight and can't crit, but I do it just for completing every quote)

“Time to have some fun!”
“Polka’s on the dot!”
“I am the entire circus!”
“The show must POL on!”

Watame's Quotes (again, can't fight and is just here for collection)

“Listen to my song.”
“I didn’t do anything wrong, okay?”
“Dododododo!”
“Proimse that you’ll be with me…”

Noel's Crit Quotes

“I’m strong as a cow!”
“It’s my duty as a knight!”
“My muscles are ready!”
“Flare, this one’s for you!”

Flare's Crit Quotes

“Noel, are you watching?”
“Feel my fire within!”
“I’ve got you in my sights!”
“This is for my allies!”

Luna's Crit Quotes

“Naaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!”
“For Candy Kingdom!”
“I am more than just a baby face!”
“I can do this, nora!”

Subaru's Crit Quotes

“Shuba Shuba Shuba Shuba!”
“I am not a duck!”
“For my princess!”
“Time to shine like the sun!”

Choco's Crit Quotes

“Sorry, but you’re being naughty~”
“Have you learned your lesson?”
“Let me diagnose you~”
“This is how it’s done!”

Aki's Crit Quotes

“Alooona!”
“A rose has it’s thorns!” (from Aki’s surname, “Rosenthal”.)
“By my elven blood!”
“Just in time for my drink!”

Botan's Crit Quotes

“La-lion!”
“I won’t miss this chance!”
“Headshot!”
“Feel a lion’s roar!”

Risu's Crit Quotes

“Aw, nuts!”
“Ganba… Risu!”
“Let me hear your scream!”
“Brrrrrr!”

Roboco's Crit Quotes

“Overload!”
“All systems go!”
“Time for you to be rebooted!”
“High-spec technology rocks!”

Sora's Crit Quotes

“So, you’re the enemy!”
“For everyone!”

It would also be amazing if Flare would yell “Ore no INA!!!” every time you deploy her with Ina.

Since Justice and advent were released after development, I began theorycrafting what classes their members would be in S4S if they debuted beforehand :slight_smile: (Not familiar enough with dev:is to theorycraft them)

Summary

Shiori: Wyvern Knight (Malig if it existed, reference to Bookwyrms)
Nerissa: Harrier (dark coloured flying unit I mean come on)
Biboo: Troubadour (Valkyrie or Mage Knight) (just seems like a mage and there are too many foot mages already)
Fuwawa and Mococo: Armor Knights or Cavs (Fuwawa tanky, Mococo speedy) (originally thought fighters like Bord and Cord but didn’t really fit)
Elizabeth: Mercenary/Hero (has a sword + lack of mercs)
Raora: Thief/Rogue (catgirl rogue already exists in game)
Gigi: Archer/Ranger? (Tossup on this one tbh)
Cecilia: Soldier/Halb or Peg/Falco (Lance unit as a reference to her violin turning into a Lance)

It feels like the game wants you to use certain units, mainly because leadership stars start growing in later chapters and the swing in hit becomes difficult if you fall to far behind in them.

To give my opinion about that, i think in a game with SO MANY units, it’s not a great move to kinda force you to use a small selection of them because the game actively makes you feel bad otherwise cuz’ of the ennemies having so many leadership too.
Especially in a game like HoloEmblem - It presents two problems as a Hololive “fangame”

First : The game is, yeah, extremely hard, i’d say even Seiso is harder than most FE. So, for Hololive fans who could be interested to give the game a try, it’s not ideal because it’s too difficult for most people.

Second : About the stars; as i said in a game with so many characters it’s already a problem to force you into using some of them. But mainly, the problem is that it IS a Hololive themed difficult game. So if your oshi doesn’t have leadership stars or is a bit under the other characters perf wise, well too bad for you, you can’t use them without feeling bad about it.
Plus, not that i bothers me, it does feel a bit like “Well the modder gave leadership stars to his favorite members”
Cuz’, yeah i know Sora is the OG Hololive member, but she felt really underpower during my game; i had to give her many stat boosters to justify taking her… But she has leadership stars. And when you have 15 ennemy stars on some levels, you gotta take her to balance it just a bit.

I made a quick meme about a near end game unit with a certain character from FE:Engage. I will add: I hope you’ve been enjoying the recently added supports! Slowly, but surely they will all be added for all our idols! Happy Valentines Day all!

If I understand correctly, can you have a unit with four B-rank and one A-rank support?

your criticisms are spot-on, it was hell and i loved it. Make the rogues faster, and make the reinforcement death squad appear 3 turns earlier

That is correct! 1 A, 4 Bs

ok thanks, now I will be more careful with who to support among the girls, but Gura and Ame are a must for me to reach the A rank.

Biboo is definitely a swordmaster tbh, it’d be criminal (heh) otherwise.
Gigi is a bit hard to decide on but she needs to be something chaotic, or a fister.

when you realize that Baelz can be promoted to Bishop

And considering the majority of the bulk of enemies from chapter 15 to just before the endgame are monsters:

Also on a note, I totally forgot Reine gets her equivalent of “(Jagen’s Silver Lance)” in Chapter 2 in a hidden event. It was so obscure so I had no idea there was an event that gets the early Explosion tome lol

I normally promote Bae to sage, because of the skill that increases her critical, but after seeing what the final skill she learns does and the amount of monsters, I will promote her to bishop in this new run.

I forgot to mention:

For Shirakami and Kurokami, if you’re going through a save file already, Shirakami will still have summon as an ability. This won’t do anything, however, so feel free to give her another skill!

Guh there’s still no support reward list :sob: (still appreciate the effort you put into the guide Ru)

Hey, just finished my first playthrough (just in time for 1.8 to come out it seems, heh!). One thing though, are there any Master Seals aside from the one Matsuri receives at the end of the Gen 1 Gaiden? I was looking forward to trying out some of the other T3 promotions after Master Knight-ing Matsuri but never found another one after that!

I don’t remember getting any other ones. There might be a shop or secret shop for them? The guide goes over the chest loot, and I personally don’t remember any stealables. I think I only had one T3 promotion outside of Matsuri and Noel event promotions. I used it on Lamy. I had a lot of other characters I wanted to T3, but never had another chance.
