What's the harm in a little reckless besieging? Let's Play FE: The Sacred Stones

Making Ross a Hero seems kind of silly when Gerik is right there, being awesome.

I'm partial to Amelia as General as well, because then you can have a General with some actual Spd, which is great on top of the Str and Def.

Generals are awesome and all you haters are crazy.

Thirding that you General haters are crazy. What the hell guys? You get to turn her into a walking tank that has the entire weapon triangle.

Make Ross a Berserker and he is a Murder Machine that laughs at everything, including the final boss.

Yes, they are! I don't like them because A. They're slow as fuck and B. They don't have swooshy hair.

I vote Pirate for Ross, because hey, pirate.

Are you gonna go back and give us stats and nice little unit assessments for Vanessa and Moulder? I like those. Don't mind if it's not actually their starting stats in the screenshot.

Also, good to see you getting awesome level-ups for your female MC, unlike some previous LPs we could mention. I suggest you reward Eirika for her awesomeness by choosing her path later.

Hey, guys, we should use all the horsie dudes and make them all paladins.

Oh, and we should use Orson. He has pretty awesome supports.

Y'know what's better than horses? Wolves. HE HE HE

But no. Use the horse dudes if you must (particularly Forde) but make them Great Knights.

This, of course, goes without saying.

I meant to have Moulder and Vanessa stat shots and assessments, but when I went to put them in I could not find them. I'm still working off what I had ready to go when I was first supposed to do this and apparently I've deleted about half of my screen shots. I would have just restarted but I only have one more chapter until I catch up to my save and I did not want to redo it all. Or lose that Eirika. I'll have them for the next update.

And my Eirika on this play through is getting ridiculous.

but

paladins look that much cooler

Also: If you would like, I can provide screenshots for Moulder and Vanessa.

Honestly though, you should make someone a Ranger.

Then we can discuss how terrible its animation is. I mean, it's a good class, but jeez.

Sniper or Ranger animation?

hint: the female sniper has a cute ponytail

Ranger of course. The Sniper's been around since FE6.

I mean, the Ranger's sword attack animation... it's just so lazy.

Nomad Troopers slid under the freakin horse.

But... cute ponytail!

I like my women like I like my drinks.

ENCASED IN METAL.

...I thought you liked your drinks so hot you don't know whether you just had some SUPER JUICE 5000 or you just got hit in the face with a plasma cannon.

It's very odd that they didn't just stick with the Nomad Trooper animation.

Seriously, Rangers look retarded when they use their swords.

It's at 1:19.

It's like they're trying to be cavaliers, only they're badly animated instead.

Okay, new plan: Rangers decide to take after heroes and have their horse do backflips for three minutes while they stab brigands or something.

I'm just wondering why they didn't just use the Nomad Trooper animation.

I mean, they had an animation for a bow unit with a horse using a sword, and they just ditch it for... that.

It's not even like the Ranger unit doesn't look like a Nomad.

There is no reason why your party should not have as many berserkers as possible.

(This coming from a guy who never uses Largo in Path of Radiance. I shame my ancestors.)

How many can you even get in this game?

There's Ross, Dozla, and... is that it?

I think so, actually. Shame.

Ross > Pirate > Zerker.

Amelia > Cavalier > Paladin. Because her sprite is perty.




:3

Ewan I don't care about.

Amelia -> Paladin. There can be no other!

Ross I normally make a Hero (I just like the sprite progression he makes from Trainee to the class) but in this case Bongo Bill is right:



A game without Berserkers isn't a game worth playing.

Man, I wish Berserkers had a much better critical animation. Their current one does them no justice. They need one that's four times as awesome as the Warrior Crit. One that will break the earth and pierce the heavens. One that kicks reason to the curb and does the impossible.

Paladins get screwed over, their caps are really terrible. There's no point to making a paladin, and trust me, Amelia's sprite as a Pally doesn't do her justice. Great Knight gives her access to all weapons and allows her to be a defensive powerhouse. 6 move isn't that great, and so isn't its speed cap (if I remember correctly), but Pallies just are terrible this game.

Yeah, but Cavalier Amelia's growths do not fit Great Knight at all. And she does get bogged down by terrain (with 6 move) and gets affected by both armor and horse slaying brands.

All in all, it really doesn't mater /what/ we make our units, since any combination will probably let us beat the game. The characters in Sacred Stones are just that awesome.

It's a shame they didn't give us the chance of making her a Halberdier though. If Nephenee was any indication, female Halberdiers are great.

What about super recruit?

I think that's only a postgame exclusive. Also: kinda clumsy in comparison to this.

Regardless, General is the superior choice.
