Tear Ring Saga

Oh boy, its more not-Fire Emblem.

>What is this?

A thread where I play through the game and you all decide what I do. This ties to item management, unit deployment, and a whole lot more.

Last Thread: Today's gonna be a bit weird.

We've got a lotta plot and some really easy maps, so its gonna be a quick one. We might finish the game today.

Katri leaves to be with her parents. No more playable dragon girl for the rest of the game.

To make up for this, Shigen returns to become a main character. He also brings the person who saved him along as well. She can Warp anywhere, and some of the upcoming maps are "Kill Boss". They didn't think this through.

>access all the important magic types

makes up for being incredibly underleveled.

Someone ALMOST gets sold into slavery again. Xeno butts in and prevents us from getting a second Dancer. Good going idiot.

First map here is so easy that Xeno soloed it with Power Staff boost. He also promotes.

Jesus

Second map is supposed to involve tough situations with long-range enemies and wyvern reinforcements.

but at the same time, Sierra exists.

Did zieg die?

Holmes is ready to retake his home.

No, he just left.

This map is obnoxious because the enemy has a warp staffer, so you need to do bullshit formations like this to avoid healers dying.

There's a miniboss but Samson's Brave Axe overwhelms him.

Sunman here has awful stats but the most broken weapon ever, so it doesn't matter.

Attrom finally finds Renee, and the boss is baited off the throne. I think sparing him gives an item, but oops

What item is it?

Anti-crit shield. Basically an Iron Rune.

Its easy to get considering how you get a Warper here, but oh well.

Holmes's dad is alive, but they hate each other.

I just got here

sum up everything that happened real quick

I want to know the damage

Nobody died because Holmes's maps on this route are extremely easy to beat.

Holmes is forced to promote because his dad doesn't want his successor to be some wimpy archer.

Holmes gets a defense piercing sword(which anyone can use, for some reason) and is kicked out. Holmes's promotion is actually great because his sword rank matches his bow rank.

oh ok
good job, Siggy

>Holmes: I only wanted to be a Archer lord..

The game actually has a laughing sound effect during this scene. Granada apparently loves its madman rulers.

also Holmes's dad got around, and Holmes realizes that Attrom is his half-brother. Holmes decides not to tell him, as he doesn't want Attrom to kill himself.

The hardest part of the game is over at this point.

sword lords only

Holmes is pretty bitchy for a Lord. Is the entire game just ironic Fire Emblem.

Holmes can take a break, because Runan's turn is now.

OH BOY A MAP OF JUST SIEGE WEAPONRY.

its actually super easy because Sasha+supports has more avoid than these guys have hit

Sort of. Runan is the "main" lord and his story is pretty serious(and boring as a result).

Holmes doesn't give a shit and mainly fights guys because he wants to.

is this just Fire Emblem: Even More Unbalanced Edition?

It's made by Kaga, what do you expect?

Of course.

heck yeah.

Basically, the enemies and player have access to broken stuff all the time.

at least it keeps things interesting

This map is really weird. The following map is totally different depending on which fort we capture, but we're taking the top one as that's how we get the special Raquel event.

Narcus returns for the 5th time. FINALLY we can perma-recruit him.

Top path is archers, bottom path is wyverns. Its dumb either way.

We can get another cleric, which is great.

All the wyverns have bible names.

OH SHIT THEY MOVED

NARCUS NO

Welp.

They ignored Narcus, but Runan?

they sure didn't ignore him

By the way the five of them all support each other which is HORSESHIT

>19 damage

Jesus

>HORSESHIT
More like wyvernshit in this case.

Yep.

True.

This time, Raphael assumes the role of WYVERNFUCKER 3000 and properly baits the leader.

I guess that support didn't mean shit in the end

it doesn't work if they are too far away, so you can just kill them 1 at a time.

that makes my previous statement even more correct

I failed to screencap it, but when Eugen shows up Narcus just says. "Oh shit."

We finally got the damn money back.

It took forever, but we got all this desert treasure. Should Runan get every stat booster again?

Sure.

Good

our next foe is the smuggest looking bastard on the planet

Is that smug Yu Narukami

WELL THIS IS AWFULLY SUSPICIOUS

i don't think this was his plan

thanks Zieg

Nice crit rate

yeah its a scary sword

Anyways, we need to deal with GORILLA WARFARE

Go bananas on them

Arkis recruits his fiance and immediately dies to a meteor afterwards.

we FE4 now

I'm spamming golems with the new cleric

What a shame.

Damn it. So close, and yet so far.

His fiancee looks like she could be his sister.

Knowing Kaga, she could be.

She might be, who knows.

Anyways, second try was a success. Arkis still died but he sucks anyway.

HERE IT COMES

Luca no

I can't believe Luca is fucking dead

And with that, Raquel is now perfectly capable of killing people.

also all the guides that say you need to have Luca visit her in Map 4 to get this scene are full of shit.

Runan doesn't get a new weapon type, or a new weapon, or even a horse.

Hey now, his blue cape and breastplate is bitchin'.

>Tfw holmes gets swords on promotion
>prf's is a sword instead of a cool bow

fucking kaga being a swordfag. At least "hide hunter" is a cool name for a class.

youtube.com/watch?v=2yShsxwST-I

Back at Holmes's here's an easy map you can 1-turn. Boss isn't even on the damn throne.

Luna isn't a PRF

Lame.

>luna
??
Doesn't Holmes and Runan each get a sacred Sword, along with Tia and Sennet? I remember them being named "Sacred [nation name]"

Oops, forgot about those.

Anyways, winning the map gives us Shigen's dad, prepromote extrordinaire. We also can get some broken skills for free. Holmes gets Sol because lords being alive is important.

why does he look different in the second pic?

That's a generic swordman who teaches skills.

sunman gets wrath and adept because whyyy not

We warp up 5 floors of boringness for the real prize.

Its time to bring some of these guys back.

>Parallel realms

mario 64 doesn't have shit on this game.

We have the ability to bring back three, and ONLY three, people. We do not get their items back, so do not let that influence your decision. Of those people there are:

Julia, the myrm who died when that one guy suggested I fight the top force in map 10.
Esther, Raffin's sister who died the same way Julia did.
Kreiss, the red knight, who was instantly killed by a halberd guy in a random battle.
Kate, Sasha's bodyguard, who did too many crits and paid for it.
Krisha, the shitty thief girl who died in the arena.
San, the little girl knight in training who also died in the arena.
Shirou, the nomad who was one of the many who died against Barbarossa's forces.
Sharon and Billford, friends of Raffin who died against in that map as well.
Miriel, Sunman's sister who again, died against the ballista fuckfest.
Mintz, Rennie's lover who actually should have survived in that map but just DIDN'T.
Roger, Mel's husband and a huge homie who died protecting Runan in that map.
Bartz, Plum's bro and another victim of Barbarossa's map.
Alicia, thunder mage who was killed due to Maerchen's existance.
Maerchen, who died because he sucks.
Garo, Holmes's pirate pal who defended us from gargoyles that one time.
Luca, Raquel's bro who died in a cutscene.
Arkis, green knight who got Meteored.

Pick one dude per reply. None of them are super important, so don't feel bad about just picking your favorite.

By the way, Mel can't come back because she left when Roger died, Zieg can't come back because he betrayed us, and Tom is still working that one shop.

San

Gotcha.

2 more revives left.

Alicia since no Maerchen to fuck her up

ESTHER

>all 3 were girls

why am i not surprised.

Well of course people would want wafius back first Siggy.

>tfw 3 hours late to the thread

makes sense I guess.

Anyways, Katri gets snagged.

Runan talks about his childhood and about how Enteh has been a liar, she gets mad, Runan gets mad, and Holmes brings wine.

Once again, Holmes proves himself to be top bro.

Word breaks out that Katri's gone, and Holmes realizes that its time to scoot on out.

Final route split. If you guys don't feel like picking every dude, I'll just go with the plan of "send most strong people with Runan but keep Renee with Holmes so he can warpcheese. That being said we can just sort em like we always have.

Fuck why can't normal FE have a lord as cool as Holmes? They're all stuck up nobles, and even Ike who's not even a noble acts like one.

Because Holmes is too cool if you stuck him in any given FE game it'd ten times better solely because of him.

>and even Ike who's not even a noble acts like one.
Although to be fair Ike isn't super stuck up or anything just very blunt and straightforward.

Can't have main characters be meanies, then they aren't relatable.

Why everyone needs to be relatable is the issue. I can relate to some characters better than "blank slate goodman"

Here's what I have planned. Sunman and Raffin go to Runan to beef him up. Lyria and Renee are with Holmes to beef him up and help him warp his way to winning. Samson, Shigen, and Yoda help him with any needed fighting.

If there's no objections we can begin the final 10 maps. Seriously, Runan has to deal with some bullshit bosses and I'd rather not need to resort to resetting a bunch and taking forever.

And we're off.

Holmes isn't fucking around anymore. He's mad.

fine by me

TOM'S BACK

not that he's gonna do much to help.

I'm gonna need a "200% MAD" edit of that Holmes.

Its time to face the traitor.

Zieg is back and his stats are the same as when he left. You can abuse this to make him a joke boss, but at the same time, Zieg's super good when he's your ally.

No need for Zieg, we have Tom now.

Zieg kills Yoda, but Holmes is able to finish the job. Unfortunately, Zieg immediately escapes.

F

Next map is a joke, Shigen warps in, fights with his reviver sword, and then Holmes takes the cleared throne.

HE'S MAD

Super mad.

So this is pretty much the plot right now?
youtube.com/watch?v=cfNW1ERej0A

You know the drill.

Holmes gets a legendary sword to assist in his murderous rampage.

yes

Ah yes. The good old endgame legendary sword.

How good is it?

Did you already kill the general who's supposed to be Narron's dad?

There's more than just that one

very

Nope, he's right here.

>tfw missing nearly all the threads
I've failed you OP

How does Narron react if you have them face off?
Is Narron still capable of feeling remorse?

Yeah that's true.

As an aside. I was meaning to try TRS again ever since the new patch. I don't remember why I stopped before. I think I had too many weak dudes on ones Runan's paths. And got fucked over.

So I'm trying to play TearRing Saga after patching it, but it gets stuck on the loading screen before the first chapter. What am I doing wrong?

Rocket tag is fun, yeah.

He doesn't say a word.

don't worry about it

this map may have been why. Its reinforcement fuckfest.

No clue.

Yeah, the sword is scarier than the guy using it, fucker looks anemic.

>He doesn't say a word.

stone cold

The fight begins, but it looks bad.

Also, literally everyone around us is dying. Raphael's dead, plum's dead, everyone is dead

...

WE HAVE A WINNER

Nothing personell, pops

This little girl is unrecruitable, but is trying to oppose us. Do we kill her, or spare her? We can just end the map now, but I'll let you choose.

Kill her dead

Spare the cutie!

She's in the way. You know what you have to do.

She came prepared, the little shit.

We can't risk another enemy phase, so she lives.

My internet just died but it should be back soon

...

We back.

this guy took FOREVER to die.

Basically, some gladiators help us in the hopes that they get rewarded, and Julius will waste his time and weapon uses dealing with them. If his spear breaks, he's much easier to kill.

Of course, you can't get his spear this way, but its not needed anyway.

Meanwhile, Sennet's team is dealing with their own issues. I wish they had their own map where you could use these guys.

All I know is that all the royalty is killing each other.

Sennet and Runan buddy up, but Gwenchaos sends a dragon to kill us. Enteh turns into a dragon to save us. All this map involves is not dying.

>"Just throw a dragon at them"
No, nigga, I don't think that's how it works.

It gets Maruju killed, finally.

Sennet stops the dragon assault, and the enemies flee.

Water temple time.

Unlike the other one, this is a rout.

And so ends Narcus

Shit.

...

Oh well..

that's amazing

turban man is down

...

NOOOOOOOOOOOO

what is even happening
how is everyone dying

Woah, you're almost done already? That was quick.

Is this your first playthrough? How are you liking the game so far?

Finally, we're almost done with the map.

F

and that's the map.

Narron did a lot of work. Good thing he didn't die.

You did remember that Narcus's gimmick was character copying, right?

Holmes gets a joke map. We can warp. The objective is to get near the door after the boss dies. The door is 2 spaces away from boss.

Easy 1 turn

what's the death counter at?

How comes Holmes maps are so easy compared to Runan's anyway?

Richard betrays Tia and we find Katri.

2 more maps left.

Something like 17 I think?

Runan has his own maze, so dark we can't get a map for it.

Zieg is ready to fight us to the death.

At least 20

Because the idea is that you give Runan all the good units.

Do his stats decrease if they were higher when he left?

Yeah.

Also, we may be fucked because I'm one door key short and we lost Narcus last map.

Someone tell me how to unfuck ourselves.

Don't toy with my emotions, I thought Narcus was a nickname. I should have known Narron couldn't be stopped, though.

>attacks through the wall

THANK GOD

Raffin the based god saves the day.

rip sadknight

F

It begins.

All the paths have joined and Gwenchaos is ready to summon the dark god with all 4 shamans.

He starts by killing Katri

Super

...

Here's the map. The two paths finally join, and Sennet's here too.

We gotta stop the evil pope guy.

we're too late.

F

Rest in Pepperoni, girlies.

RUSED

Kind of lame that you never need to use the prelude vs gwenchaos.

all part of the keikaku

Richard dies, but frees Tia, forcing Gwenchaos to use himself to resurrect Gerxel.

Final boss and new units. All the holy swordsman need to surround Gerxel to defeat him.

Also, Sunman, Raffin, Lyria, and Yuni are all dead.

Everyone dies someday.

EUGEN WHAT THE FUCK

Eugen was always best boy.

OH SHIT

>BACK IN MY DAY I WAS SLAYING GODS LEFT AND RIGHT

Why is eugen so awesome?

Holy fuck.

This is "PICK A GOD AND PRAY" tier.

With all the swords together, we defeat Gerxel, seemingly.

by the way I gotta switch to the JP version right now to avoid a game crash.

Gerxel revives, and the team realizes the only way to REALLY stop him is a sick combo finisher.

oh fuuuuuuuuck

HYPER COMBO FINISH

The goddess appears and revives the clerics. Vega, Samson, and all the others who just died? They can apparently go eat shit.

They weren't cute enough.

Runan becomes a man, and Richard is also revived. He is going to MAKE LEDA GREAT AGAIN.

shigen's bantz never stop

RICHARD FOR KING OF LEDA 2016

Runan talks about how 80% of the cast is dead, and the credits start, showing artwork for characters. This is awkward, because the emulator can't seem to screenshot the art right and almost all of the characters shown died.

Normally after the credits you travel back to wellt and everyone leaves along the way, wonder how stuff will change due to all the casualties.

oh my god i'm so glad he died.

there's also a legit song in the credits, its weird and cheesy

youtube.com/watch?v=8Jp14cqxnpk

Do the units have parting words as they leave the army on the way back? That'd be pretty cool.

EVERYONE NOT ON THIS LIST DIED

19 TOTAL UNITS

and keep in mind that 7 of them can't die for plot reasons.

Yes

That'd be my average left alive count if I wasn't a pussy that reset whenever anyone pisses off the RNG.

I'm surprised you didn't use mahter or frau, I think pegasus knights are pretty good in TRS especially when combined with the thunder sword or thief sword (or any other OP weapon).

Nice run(Even if I missed 99% of the threads)

so is that the game beat?

Sennet leaves

Some noble loser tries to steal Runan's girl but Richard's like "no way bitch".

I tried, but they were too fragile and wyvern flutes are limited.

yes

Enteh marries Runan, but he needs to still visit Wellit, so she leaves with Eugen.

Is the epilogue stuff still barely google level translated or did they update the patch since I played?

Well, in that case, I'll be starting Tacthack again on monday.


Glad to see you powered through, Siggy. I missed the threads this weekend mostly since I'm not at home--I'm visiting 'family'.

Shigen leaves, and Holmes tells him to bring Attrom with him.

Its good now.

That's alright. Good luck with that. No more threads from me for like, a year.

Katri is delivered home, and Renee/Frau leave.

I know you had some issues running this on psxfin, do you know if it's just because of that emulator or if it's a problem with the patch in general? I'd like to do an ironman run so I really don't want to have to lose progress after it crashes.

I think its emulator based.

Other peg leaves. By the way, I forgot to mention Verna. She joined late in the game but died in the finale map. She was a decent pegger.

Bud is sad because Narcus and Sunman are dead. Xeno bugs off.

Tia leaves.

Also, Katri's bishop adoptive father dad-guy was actually dead the entire time. I think this guy is actually supposed to be supersage Morse or something.

Internet died again.

Well, congrats on making it to the end without a game over.

I thought TRS was super easy and wasn't even worried about doing a 0% growths run, but your high casualty rate is making me a bit nervous. Maybe I'll do a bit more planning first.

>without a game over

Runan died like 3 times

Well shit. How the fuck are you so bad?

Well this is taking forever so i'll just say the rest in text

Tom leaves to be with his family, Esther leaves to become the new leader of Verje. Runan apoligizes to Welit's queen because Sasha's dead. Holmes and Runan go on an adventure except Shigen comes back, bringing Enteh and Katri along. They go sailing, and that's that.

This is the last thread. I hope some people enjoyed this.

How would you rate this game compared to the other FE games?

I did.

Good work Siggy.

>i missed every single siggy thread except for this one somehow
>been waiting all summer for it

gonna kill myself, be right back

In the middle

welp

Danke, was a nice ride.

Thanks.

Anyone still want to talk about TRS?

I'm curious what you guys think is the best treasure you can get here (after chapter 14, you pick five chests). What do you normally go with?

I figure agi+ and def+ are mandatory, probably pow+ and mag+, then one out of skl+/hp+/luk+? Or would a promotion item be more important, I can't remember how many you normally get.

Power Plus, Speed Plus, Def Plus.

If Map 11 was skipped/you aren't using Samson or Alicia, Mag+ and Repeater. If you are using the two, Hero Proof/Sage Cloak

meant to post this an hour ago

Alfred leaves offscreen, and Narron tells his story before leaving. His mom wanted him to join the war to become a great general like his dad, who was presumably Ernst. Gonna be awkward to come home considering how he killed his own dad.

Raquel also leaves.

>Repeater
Huh, what? You can buy that easily. It's worth less than a gold bag.

Oh boy the LP threads are back. I missed these.

yeah, but it repeats.
