episode 4

Oh. Fuck.

Oh, okay, it’s just fading into that Lyn Mode chapter where you fight Eagler; that one’s not ba—

Suddenly, cut to Jake! Eliwood’s happy theme abruptly cuts to that foreboding, trombone-y world map song.
So apparently, Max (not to be confused with Maxime, whose portrait he shares) is a dude in the Holy army attacking Repub. These NAMES, man


which one of you is responsible for this again?

I misread that as “It appears the Holy army is using the frog” at first. Shame; it would be more interesting than fog

This seems important?


YES!.. YYYYYYES!!!


Luteniant Pastel: The Saga.
… oh, fuck me, the implication is that this guy got so excited, he came on himself, isn’t it?

Find-and-replace is fun

Let’s give Marc (“Mark”? he’s gonna be sooo mad u guys) some more weap— oh…
I guess he’ll be fine…

This wacky single deployment slot out in the open is clearly so Comrade Ivan Ivanovich Ivanovski can lead the charge! FOR THE PEOPLE

Even Eli/Seliph is reposition-able. Interesting

… All I did was hit start to go to the battle. The opening scene’s playing again??

Oh, it was just the Jake text.

СЛАВАААААААААААА

All I can really do with my other dudes is move— oooOOOOOOo!

get 'em!!!

#pr0s7r4t5

I don’t remember your name in FE4, Mr. Guy, but you’re, like, really good

… eeeeehhhhhhhh

Enemies aren’t very cheeky for being FoW enemies; they seem mostly just to charge straight forth

… Of all the people to attack, you choose him? Why?


Cоmmunism is the sole religion of the proletariat, and so you must die! As must all these other guys, but eh

Oooh, not bad at all.

cool b8ns

I don’t think we’re ever gonna get tired of Marc and his all-around being a treasure

Too easy!

The people’s lance penetrates your hollow ideology!

Better! The Politburo will not disappear any of your family members for this level-up.

Seliph being un-R-button-able is the dumbest gimmick ever.

Especially because you can still R-button him in the Unit menu since he’s a player unit.


Seliph finally sees battle, and uses this opportunity to achieve a solid level-up!

Communism is as evasive as it is deadly!

The enemy cleric sees the error of her ways and decides to draw closer to state-mandated socialism while not actually doing anything.

The other cleric, though…

There be dudes on the horizon!


Ooooh, I get it. Erik and Eagler are Ether and Raptor. The latter is kinda clever in the context of name changes, I guess?


These guys are GOOD.


BREAKING: Cuyoot Villager Girl is Eloquent as Fuck

… wait. THERE’S NO WEIGHT? WHAT? That simplifies my choice of equipment, I guess. I’m sending Ether down below and Raptor up above.

… I should shoehorn this variant Marc into my Ragefest 5 entry somehow…

I blame the Serra animation for this

lmao

Announcer: “DOUBLE LMAO!”

“TRIPLE LMAO!”

“OVERLMA—” actually this one isn’t that ridiculous; she’s just doing well because she’s fighting a cleric

блядь

I should’ve just done this in the first place!

…

FUNTASTIC FACT: Erik’s palette in the original game only properly works in the player palette; the enemy version makes him look like a generic enemy cav with slightly greener hair. I’d bet money that Erik was playable in a very early build of FE7.

Holy scum! Have an AXE IN THE HEAD!
… Also, the ally/green/other/Luigi phase music is the Bern theme, which is weird.

We can see this guy now!

Sounds reasonable. “What will make it easier to fight my enemies? I KNOW! Fog that obscures vision!” I know that FoW is one-sided in FE7, but c’mon.

Pastel’s bodyguard is far more intimidating than Pastel himself.
… Come to think of it, maybe I should give the boss kill to Ether. I rescue the green guys so they don’t KS.

HAAAAAAAAA!!!

Have I mentioned that Troy is legend material?

well, have I?

not much left but the boss, but I bet there’s a guy hiding in the top-right somewhere, just 'cause.

sick Mother 3 reference bro

Even while carrying a dude, Ether can take this guy on

k
Oh wow, Winning Road is playi—

… ambushforcements.

AMBUSH. FUCKING. FORCEMENTS. If Ether hadn’t dodged that, I would’ve lost him to that random unexpected bullshit.

Long-range weapons in earlygame are fun, right?!?!

axe paladins are just so cool, yo

Alright. So as long as I defeat all these guys, the chapter’s over. Unless the Winning Road count was increased, but I don’t have enough faith in the game to expect it to do that

Time to drop the horse-Luigis.

This guy has a reaver, probs just to screw you over if you left Barry next to the fort.

Ready for this?


Yay!

… Oh. Brave and silver weapons’ required ranks (B and A) got swapped. That explains the “I can’t use it”.

Flo can’t damage that armour knight, so I’m plugging up the fort with her.

The Luigis will take care of that paladin, joined by a brave single red soldier who ambushspawned from that fort.

HGRYGRGHYR

WHAT THE HELL? Why is that cleric there? To force you to use Flo?

This merits a change of priority.

Oh snap. ALL of these soldiers that keep coming from the fort have horseslayers.

… these guys aren’t gonna make it, are they?

This is gonna be a while…

I’m regretting leaving that fort unattended.

NO MATTER!

“Mark” rushes to defeat this dude before the other Luigi joins his friends.


#CLUTCH #420 #$$$$$$$$$$$ axe horse Luigi new husbando

and with that, the chapter’s over!

As we all know in this modern age of FE, the most important thing about war is falling in love~
… Also, is “Ulala” a Space Channel 9 reference??
