>what's going on?
I'm playing (partially blindly) through one of the most famous hacks of Fire Emblem 7--The Last Promise.
While I do, I'll be taking inputs from you on various things, and sharing notable differences and things added to the hack(for all the shit it has, there's a LOT of good in it too)
>Am I Siggy?
no.
FAQs:
>what's this hack called?
"The Last Promise"
>is this the one with the hilariously edgy MC?
yes.
>I'm new to Fire Emblem. What's a good game to start with?
Fire emblem: The Blazing sword(aka Fire Emblem in the USA) is a fantastic starting point, featuring a comprehensive tutorial. Alternatively, Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones also has a briefer tutorial and is all around easier.
>I heard this series is just shitty waifu pandering
that's Awakening and Fates.
>what does each stat do?
HP-health. lose it all and your unit dies(permanently)
STR/MAG- how much damage you do with attacks. this is augmented by your enemy's defenses and your own weapon's MT
SKL- your chance to hit and dodge attacks
SPD- if your SPD is high enough, you'll be able to double-attack enemies.
LUK-affects accuracy and avoidability
DEF-affects defense against physical attacks
RES-affects defense against magical attacks
CON- unit's weight. this affects who they can rescue or be rescued by, and if your CON is too low, you will suffer SPD penalties while using heavier weapons.
reminder that siegfried still says crap like 'dastard' while other people in this hack say shit like this.
goddamn the writing is silly.
also, because we finished shon+siegfried's campaign, we lost all the units from their path.
solid start.
insulting, but not inaccurate.
ANOTHER unit with a custom weapon?
>>344686306
edge
how the hell did I fuck up ALREADY?
I can't into strategy.
>>344686430
It doesn't even matter
oh well, let's try this again.
and not stick anakin in range of 3 mercs.
for those interested, anakin is a custom class that uses light magic(and staves on promotion). He also has the bard's singing ability, called 'motivate'.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S_Kh46ayGl0
ooh, she's a qt.
Eduardo's custom lance is a brave lance.
>>344686306
He tries to make up for shit units with prf weapons.
>>344687006
Katrina is cute! CUTE!
damn, not bad anakin!
>wyvern rider on the first goddamn chapter
jeez, blazer, balance much?
>>344685830
Do you think Blazer remembers this writing now and regrets it?
>>344687345
based weed lord
doesn't he have an actual voice clip when motivating others?
>>344687558
I've heard blazer is still involved with the hacking community, and has mentioned he really regrets the writing on this project.
he also said he got a girlfriend after releasing the project and she made him get rid of all his assets, which is why no hack has ever been as advanced as TLP.
>level 10
>COMES WITH an axereaver
>>344687758
Why would she want him to do that?
>>344687558
Something Awful did a series of FE romhacks and managed to invite some of the authors for "dev interviews"
I remember Blazer mentioning that each forum member wrote dialouge for their own character and he just inserted them in
Blazer's OC isKelik and he did show some regret for some of the writing
>>344687758
Did he also have to publicly shame his waifu. Whats with FE romhackers and autistic girlfriends?
>>344688151
If that is true then she's a total piece of shit.
alright, so I have OBS, I'm going to try and upload the voice acting.
https://youtu.be/nYFf_U0pJfQ
oh, and the music for this stage.
it really does not fit.

STELLAR start, ace.a shame, I like the soldier class.
>>344688718
Its good but damn is it not something you'd use or a battle.
>>344685354
This is a lot earlier than you usually start.
Oh well, time to lurk.

>>344689526
Eduardo
>>344689526
Anakin
He needs unlimited power to save his waifu.
>>344689526
Katrina. If I remember she's higher leveled so the boss exp won't be wasted on her.
>>344689610
>using a cav besides Shon
>>344689610
>>344689665
>>344690110
so pretty much anyone except ace or kevin?
=(((((
>>344690882
Poor guy couldn't do it.
hey look, it's lucius!
It seems that Lucius claims to know a secret pathway!
should we trust him?
>>344691374
Logan is a trustworthy man. Just look at his proud, Aryan features.
>>344691374
He seems pretty trustworthy
>>344691374
Don't, you miss out on one of your only axe users for the whole fucking game.
>>344691476
>>344691586
well alright, let's take this shortcut!
>>344691663
what about kevin?

You have to wait until promotion, and your Kevin is turning out mediocre, right?
>LIQUIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIID
Doesn't join soon enough, though he is great once you get him. I'm talking about your only axe user for a LONG time. And he's a prepromote.
And who is this?
why, it's the edgeheg!

>>344692382
Oh, hey guys
pfffftHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
>>344692382
That guy in the middle of those three looks hilariously crushed, like they're all just squeezing together.
>>344692561
Solid writing once again
>>344692561
>takes names, music, and lines from Symphonia
o am i laffin
>>344692603
>>344692561
I don't see the problem here.
>>344692382
Someone needs to crop out the middle guy and add "I hate my life" under him
>>344692701
and the worst part is he doesn't even realize why it worked in tales of symphonia!
lloyd was an idiot putting on a show of bravado, so the line just comes off rightly as a kid acting adult.
this, however, is meant to be taken SERIOUSLY.
>>344686430
I TRIED SO HARD AND GOT SO FAR
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gd9OhYroLN0
and WHAT A SHOCKER, he has a custom weapon!
>>344693271
It's like Donte x 10

jesus christ wtf
>>344693638
I love you.
...and he got one-shotted.guess he couldn't handle the WEIGHT.
>>344693859
he was so edgy he killed himself
>>344693859
All that build up, all that edge, all the one liners...
And he went down like a bitch.
>>344693859
What's the point of an edgy self-insert if he's shit?
and he came back with this.
>>344694517
to be fair it was a cav with a silver lance that I wasn't supposed to engage.
>>344693503
>black and red
>open jacket and no armor
>just wields sword 1-handed, not even readied
>linkin park tier personality
>that backstory
>that dialogue
>literally teleports behind you for his REGULAR attack
>insane stats at lvl 5
>1-2 range unique weapon with dragon flames, high mt, accuracy, and crit right away
>that one scene
Is this what passed for cool and likable back when we were 15? Someone on their writing team must have thought they went a bit overboard with it, right?
I remember when I played through this hack myself OP, hope you have fun and don't get fed up with bullshit it throws at you in lategame.
>>344694740
>writing team
It was 1 dude anon, you never had OC fanfics when you were 15?
new chapter! Let's find out if trusting lucius was wise!
>>344694740
after the first 10 chapters(which were shit, but not horrible), blazer was effectively forced to write the entirety of the rest of it.
remember: anakin is SUPPOSED to be the main character.
>>344694919
nah, it was an entire forum of edgy teens and idiots, hence why we get characters like ace and althares.
oh my god it's BLACKBEARD!
and he's GINGER
>>344693859
Oh yeah, Kelik's chapter is SO well designed.
>only units are an edgy sword user, a weak thief, and a prepromote that doesn't even stay with you
>entire chapter is filled with lances so you always have ~70% hit chances
>and half of them have 1-2 range, which only one unit can counter with his prf
>and reinforcements keep on filing in, even though you only have 2 units who you wan to give exp to
>and you have a time limit
Some parts of TLP are well designed. Others aren't.
it was a TRAP!
>>344695037
ah shit, i thought 1 guy took over at some point, well if it was a forum full of these guys that makes even more sense i guess. Atleast parts of it played well enough.
>>344695330
yeah, blazer took over and wrote 2/3 of the game
but it was still a forum of idiots, and pretty much every character was a forum contribution.
YA THINK?
>implying luci has female friends
>4/6 units are primarily/exclusively lance users
>2nd map is almost all axe users
what the fuck?
>29% chance to hit with venin axe
>hit
>28 chance to hit with iron axe
>kill
WHY
some goddamn bullshit, that's what it is.
>>344694674
>>344696075
also rip
>>344695915
I told you not to trust him, faggot. Now you pay the price.
>>344696189
>spd and def is a bad thing
>>344696356
not that. I'm talking lucius not dodging worth anything.
>>344696075
Seems like typical Fire Emblem stuff to me.
...
>>344696075
Times like this i wish i had saved Doofus emblem pics
RIP Ace.
he has 1hp left and he's poisoned, and my turn is about to start.
>>344696618
>he fell for the soldier meme
The only good soldiers are female.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-4mv1pavzlY
>mage
>not CIA
garbage.
>>344696881
He's a small guy.
literally the first time I've ever had a unit die of poisoning.
>>344696881
what a hothead
>>344697152
i didnt even think units could die of poison, not bad Ace
>>344697152
>units can die of poisoning
Huh. Wow.
so yeah, I've been completely overwhelmed. I might actually get ANOTHER game over.
christ almighty this game just immediately throws a wall at you.
what the fuck is with this difficulty scaling?
shon+siegfried's chapters were challenging, but fair.
>>344697734
Just get the ez mode patch
You casul :^)
>>344697734
He didn't fly so good.
there it is.
>>344697656
I told you not to trust him. I tried to warn you. It's your own fault. Pave the save, start over from the split, and choose Betray.
>>344697734
I hypothesize that it's because Blazer only had himself as a playtester, since most of the forum dropped from the hack. If the only person who is testing the hack is the one that is intimately familiar with it, of course it's going to be difficult for an outsider.
>>344698351
>pave the save
but then I'll lose CIA!
>>344698054
>>344698194
Rip, also does Kelik have a custom crit animation besides the normal "teleports behind you"
>>344698608
I haven't gotten a crit yet.
>>344698496
Persevere and you will be rewarded with Stronk Loli mage.
I'm going to try a more reserved approach this time instead of pushing forward.
>>344698496
Cia will be great no matter what, because she's cute. You need to worry about making sure your other shitters survive the onslaught. You did make a save before the decision, right?
>>344685950
>Still no def
>>344698817
...no?
>>344698939
he's gotten 1 def.
alright, they've all survived this time.
>>344699086
Nice
...
>>344698983
>no
Well, good luck, I guess. At least TLP doesn't have the teeth to prevent you from turtling,
THIS IS WHAT YOU GET FOR KILLING ME WITH BULLSHIT ODDS
>>344699624
Wait a minute... That pose...
>>344699624
Myrmidons are the best ballerinas

>>344696643
I have your back, senpai
>>344687758
>and she made him get rid of all his assets
Why?
>>344699869
well more specifically i meant the one with dieck where he misses both decent % and gets hit twice with both hit % being 20-30%
still better than matthew
>>344699951
nerd spending all his time on the computer instead of with her?
teenage girls are pretty damn self-centered.
>>344699951

theres your problem
wew lad
is kevin really not going to cap DEF?
MEMORIES CONSUMED
LIKE OPENING THE WOUND

not eduardo, I guess...

>alright Dieck, this Slater fella ain't got nothing on you
I miss Doofus Emblem
>>344700661
looks like he wasn't FUCKING INVINCIBLE!
>>344700216
Karina is strong! STRONG!
>>344700379
While you have been getting shitty levels with him, his def growth isn't that high for a Knight (40%). It's just that his base def is incredibly high. I'd still bench him, just to be different from Siggy's playthrough.
>>344700787
>turn 2-3 on the gaiden with bolting spammers

>>344701029
how do you think he levelled up?
alright, who's fighting the boss? he's a pirate with a steel axe and a killer axe(again, chapter 13.)
>>344699624
I miss the times when Myrmidons were graceful as a swan

Just found a crit animation for Kelik's promotion class
Dont open if you dont want spoilers also seizure warning

Ah the days when /feg/ wasnt waifu cancer 24/7, between bolt puns and fatty emblem that place was alright
>OP
>Nigger is playing The Last Promise
Shit, I've been missing out. Last I remember is Siggy starting his Bizarre Adventure. How was that run?Any other playthroughs I've missed?
>>344701525
siggy gave up because nobody was following it.
>>344701503
Yeah, I don't knowwatthappened but the turn that the threads took after Awakening came out sure is rebolting.
>>344701503
Now you just have Tharjafag trying to get the first post in every thread and someone posting "I love Sakura!" all the time. /vg/ has the weirdest moderation.
>>344701604
I was
...
are we really doing siggy's adventure again
because Im cool with this
>>344701604
I was following ;_; even made this when a character dropped his axe in a river
>>344701342
>several units have +100% hp growths
>useless because the hp cap can't go past 60
>>344701424
That guy is still alive?
>>344701604
Rest in peace my beloved
>>344701780
Last I heard anything about him was around when Fates was first released/announced.
>>344701752
I would have put that in my wallpaper if it wasn't already hilarious as fuck
>>344701341
Doof?
Is that you?
>>344701709
>>344701696
>>344701503
That's what happens when you pander to the waifufag/weeb audience
weapon triangle? what's that?
>>344701993
Weed is some powerful shit
>>344701696
>>344701709
i wasnt aware vg had any real moderation, aside from no lewds, but i guess its no realshocksince awakening brought in all the waifufags in droves, sure FE had them before but christ, like i jumped into early XIV general some days
>all those awakening fanfics
#roasted
>>344702172
I remember when /vg/ was first made, I used to get shit for defending meg as a viable unit in radiant dawn.
>>344701972
>>344702081
It's hard not to get on board with a waifu when she miraculously becomes the best character in your party.
>>344702081
Fates is pretty good though.
But I'd give a kidney if it meant no more "everyone can support everyone" shit and kids were saved for a 2nd Gen playthrough like in FE4.
Biggest problems of the game besides story.
>>344702343
The older games had waifus, but they weren't the selling point of the game.
>>344702350
Fates is a step in the right direction in terms of gameplay and mechanics, everything else leaves me concerned honestlysorry if im derailing shit
>>344702306
Could be worse, could be fiona
>>344702409
>Dissing on Siggy
Can we get him killed?
>>344702172
You occasionally see stuff deleted over there. But I mean common there's legit spamming going on. Hell there have been multiple times where /feg/ got out of control and had thread wars that killed off several long running generals.
>>344702101
new chapter!
>>344702538
meg is actually good though.
>>344702565
I don't know who you are, but thank you for all your edits.
>>344702571
If you put in the work yeah, but yeah i want around for early vg, though i came in around the time where meg was still considered trash and if anyone tried to defend her it was about half a thread of shitposting.
>>344702563
>Hell there have been multiple times where /feg/ got out of control and had thread wars that killed off several long running generals
What?
>>344702658
thanks! they're not the best more like its so bad its good
>>344702697
she takes babying to level up a bit, which meant /vg/ automatically wrote her off.
>>344702697
I remember when I kept posting long strings of donut steel portraits and conversations, but ended up stopping when everyone else started doing them.
>>344702565
lel
>>344702752
It happens where people get ass-blasted about their OP not being used. I know this because I was in /padg/ one time
>>344702538
I'll never get on board with the class-based skill system. Individual skills added so much more personality to using each unit, even in 10 where they could be reassigned it was still better because at least there was a hard limit to each skill.
alright, we got a couple stat boosters.
are we using them now or saving them for units down the road?
1,3,4 chooses who, if anyone, gets the book.
>>344702814
because /eg/ considered any sort of babying to be nino tier babying, hell i still remember when people thought pent and other prepromotes were shit just because they were pre-promotes
>>344702959
I didnt like it in awakening, i still dont like that avatar can technically be any class throguh friendship seals, but otherwise im fine with the current system as skills are more balanced and no character can have every class in the game. Plus personal skills were a huge plus to me
>>344703056
Save em
>>344703056
save them for CIA
>>344703171
CIA gets the book.
who gets the boots?
2,4,5
>>344703310
see eye ayy
>>344703310
Kevin
>>344703310
CIA needs those boots to be a big girl
>>344703310
Anakin
>>344703392
CIA it is.
and again, look at this shit. what the hell?
>>344702752
Like >>344702941 said. People literally spammed multiple /feg/ with different OPs, so much so that it actually killed the whole board one of the times.
THEN WHY THE FUCK ARE YOU A MERCENARY?
>>344703819
/vg/*
And that's not to mention earlier this year where /feg/gots took that shit to different boards like /ck/ but last I checked they actually had a really good FE related food thread.
>>344703904
HERE WE GO
>>344703904
Because the only thing he earns is the satisfaction of patching together the broken remnants of his life like shattered glass, dude........
FINALLY.
>>344704015
not quite yet.next chapter I think
>>344704156
>he didn't screencap the over 9000 joke
How do you fuck up the most basic shit?
>>344703948
I had no idea it was that bad why is it hard to talk about Fire Emblem
/vg/ sounds like a terrible place
>>344704310
what over 9000 joke?
>>344704310
This, goddamnit OP, we need to see this magnificent writing
At least you're recording the voiced sections
>>344704271
>Itsuke
COULD IT BE?
>>344704378
The amount of money he gives you at the start of the chapter. That's even why Kelik is smiling, because it's an oh so funny joke.
>>344704358
As others said, it wasnt always like that, but once it became waifu emblem, well, at that point it fit right into the state of most /vg/ generals. Theyre either wankfests or theyre dead threads that might occasionally hit bump limit
>>344704510
I didn't even notice. here, I'll save the state and restart.
so, uh...yeah, there's no over 9000 joke.
>>344704720
Bullshit, I even fucking remember there being one. Did get removed at some point?
>>344704956
I dunno, but I just restarted. here, I'll even record it.
>>344704956
You're probably thinking of an earlier version complete with the voice clip playing. It was9001originally. Sorry OP.
>>344705054
No need.

Fucking Blazer.
It's one thing making an edgy hack. But removing the memes from it is too far.
he has almost twice as much speed as matthew ever did!
>>344705857
Matt just wanted to be like his role model, Hector.
>>344705940
HECTOR had more skl than matthew.
is that fucking legolas?
>def on a mage
>>344706023
He got his priorities confused and tried way too hard to beef up.
now we've got a FUCKING INVINCIBLE wall, time to make our way the long way around.
