Just posted chapter 22. This one also has a lot of special effects, so tell me if I’m missing something or if you’d prefer it be formatted differently. I chose to place the Marina panic scenes with the events that trigger them, but I’m not sure if people would prefer them all placed in their own section.
thank you for all your hard work archiving this! 
it’s been nice to reread stuff while i haven’t been in a big srpg mood
(on another note, chapter 19’s transcript has a formatting(?) error in the opening section at least for me, i dunno if there’s any other errors elsewhere as of recent but just thought you’d might like to know)

Great job, nothing to say!
Damn, Marina is such a tragic vilain. There’s something really fucked up about her comforting Alastor while being oblivious to the fact that Alastor is the very reason her orphanage burned down and she got horribly scarred. I wonder how she’d react knowing Alastor is the very reason she got to ‘experience humanity’s hatred of all they consider unsightly’.
The Alastor subplot is really well crafted

Ah, whoops! I made a typo in the HTML code. I’ve uploaded the fix.

Found a typo in Chapter 23, in the scene where Nicaea kills Cybele if she survived the battle.
Also, in Chapter 22, Apate says “If there wasn’t [a catch], I would have casted it already,” when referring to her Silence hex. Pretty sure that should be “cast”; “casted” isn’t showing up in my spellcheck’s dictionary.

I’m pretty sure the first one is grammatically ok. It’s kind of old-fashioned, but I do enjoy that stuff sometimes.
…Got nothing on the second one, though. Stupid English and its weird conjugation rules. I’m not a native speaker, so these shenanigans slip past me sometimes.
In any case, dang, you’re making progress quickly. This is some good work, thanks for going through the trouble to do this.

I’d still strongly recommend adding a “to” before “be”, it looks like an oversight otherwise.
It’s the power of unemployment!
I also just realized I forgot to add Apate’s description change in chapter 22, so I’ve done that.

Holy hell, Dolus. I think this might be the most evil thing he says in the whole story.
(This is especially creepy considering that butchers often do feel uncomfortable about killing livestock, and there have in fact been discussions about the psychological impact it has on people. Dolus is just so totally devoid of empathy.)

After hundreds of years of immortality, I guess he gradually lost all empathy. He probably “felt” something when he killed his first sons and then, years of doing this monstrosity regularly made him cold and jaded.
But yeah. This sentence is fucked up. I was really happy to read Nicaea’s boss conversation with him, I feel it concludes her arc nicely. I always give her a shot to hit him (either her, Kairos or Kyra).

Lorenzo’s description in Final-1 is ‘seemingly devoted’, lol
srry for the nit picks, but again, you’re doin all of us a favour, so major thanks
Nope. I brought that up earlier in the thread, but Rubenio said he deliberately phrased it vaguely to avoid having to write a branch. (Also, you should blur that spoiler.)
Oh, good catch! It’s hard for me to find those special descriptions since they’re applied through an add-on and aren’t listed with the standard unit descriptions.
Having finally transcribed the mammoth final base camp, I appreciate that Xinyi does actually get mad at Kyra for getting Jingyi killed. While it’s understandable that everyone is always like “Oh, don’t blame yourself~” when Kyra apologizes for getting their loved ones killed, it did feel a bit pat that everyone always has that same perfectly selfless reaction, so that was a nice bit of contrast.
(Also, I’ve finally posted the base camp page itself, which also includes stuff like Tiresias’ staff upgrades, so give that a look too.)
Also, dang if this isn’t a chillingly accurate portrayal of authoritarianism. Fascists genuinely can’t understand the concept of an intrinsic moral code, because they outsource all their beliefs to the nearest strong man. Such empty, childish people.

Typo: Demeter’s pre-battle quote on the final map ends with a second openquote instead of a closequote.
I never saw this one before. I will admit, there is something satisfying about a fascist who’s this self-aware. It’s weirdly refreshing to see a fascist who doesn’t try to gaslit you into thinking they’re better than they are. Sandraudiga is evil, but she owns it.
Also, diversity win: The sadomasochist cop respects your pronouns!
I find this very believable, actually. It makes a certain kind of sense that if rugged individualist strongman types got over their irrational hatred, they would find something to respect about a truly self-made man or woman.

I never knew Delilah had special base camp convo in case Jane is dead, sincerely grieving her and the life they could have had together . Gosh, she’s a terrible person but a goated character
Also thanks for uploading all the Finales today! You really locked in, that was a delight to read them all

I think the smiles might be misaligned in Pluto’s solo epilogue scene. Excuse my terrible mouse-drawing freehand, but the expressions don’t seem to match up with what makes sense for the dialogue.

A lot of these minorly altered conversations were modified directly from the full versions. It’s easy for smile toggles and such to slip through the cracks when doing that. Good eye, catching all of these!

Epilogue done! Just the postgame now, which should hopefully go faster due to the lack of base camp convos.
Had to come up with some new formatting for the end cards. Tell me if you have any suggestions for improvement.
BTW, speaking of unused content, I noticed there’s enemy data for the red herring traitors as well. Were there ever plans for the traitor to be someone else, or did you make all of those just to throw off dataminers?

Hi, “made this account just to comment” #150… I haven’t played an FE Rom in YEARS, (we’re talking old-school trashRoms like GhebFE) so I was looking to get back into them (and the FE series), and decided to pick a highly recommended option w/this.
And I’m glad I did! Just completed the main story today, after playing about 1-2 Chapters per night. This was an awesome experience, thanks for your hard work! Loved the characters, story, maps, all of it. Maybe I’ll play the postgame chapters, come back for a NG+ run down the line, or check out some other Roms here, but regardless yall should be proud of this massive project - outstanding
I’ll be sure to follow along for future updates/related projects

As expected, I’m breezing through the postgame. 1-3 are now up. Once again, tell me if you’d like to see any formatting changes.
What does Cybele mean when she says she almost didn’t exist? Was she a late addition to the story?
