Welcome back to Let's Play: The Last Promise.

As always. I am your host with the most.



We got some pretty interesting weapons here. I guess we'll be saving them.



Let's just put them in storage, for when we actually need them.



By the way, I'm going to show Siegfried off a bit. He never got play despite
being so mandatory. Since we actually get to keep him here's a summary.

He grows like a monster.



We also bring Tekun and Emma to level 20.
I'll be skipping a lot of growths since I don't want this to just be a matter of:

"HERE ARE STAT GROWTHS. STAR. GROWTHS. STAR."



GROWTHS.

We finish up Arthur here.

He didn't really have a tough time in the arena.



Also Sai.

Sai gets more love than he deserves.



Ace gets screwed. Corben ended up mediocre.
Such a bummer. Maybe they'll see play later? Who knows?

Shon could have had better defense but
who needs it when your opponent is dead?




Two with blue hair.



Overall, I just want to give you guys an idea about how they end up at 20.
Usually it ends up kind of consistent but I'm pretty sure you can tell
when someone gets screwed over by RNG.



So let's actually see the Star now.

There's something here a lot of people are going to miss.
If you want Althares to promote. You have to work for it.



Lighting up our way we see some other competition.



We get aggressive real fast and rob Yue blind.

And then murder him!

What an unfortunate turn of events!



It also appears that we lost a few pictures along the way.

I'm a bad Let's Player. ;~;

So here's more or less what I missed!

We find Zoro with his awesome sword on this level.

As well as Ethan.



Both of these were story enemies. Zoro got his own chapter and Ethan
was the sub boss for Howard. Why he is in the constellation? I'm not sure.

He's got a sick palette. But that's about it.
I don't really care for him but we can certainly see how he'll grow.

What's that sound?



AHHHHH! DROWNING IN PROMOTION ITEMS!

There were more in

Anyway! Let's give Zoro a test run.



He grows kinda like Tekun does.

While we're at it! We can look at Jake.













"..."




ANYWAY!






We have all four Myrmidon/Swordmasters that are recruitable post game.
They're all the same level and this should give you an idea of whose good
and whose, unfortunately not.

Zoro is hands down the best individually. His high con puts him there.

However, Zoro has no post game supports.

So if you want to synergize with supports there's Risk and Tekun who do
have a higher Con than Logan.

The problem with comparing Logan and Tekun is that
they share the same affinity so they will virtually be identical that way.

Granted Logan will grow faster in his dominant stats he has noodle arms.

That's just some of my feed back on it. Use it to draw your own conclusions.

Anyway, I think that's enough for now.

Buh bai!

[DH_Ninja]

Welcome back to...YOU KNOW BY NOW!

Let's start this right!



Promotions for everyone!



EVEN ITSUKE! YAY!

No raises though.



Money for individuals is not a thing in Fire Emblem.

Even if there was that thing in Awakening!



NO NEST EGGS!

Back to gameplay!



We train Ethan and... to be frank. I'm rather disappointed with him.

Only 15 defense?! HMPH. Who else can we train?



Yue is surprisingly impressive. Perhaps I underestimated him.

Let's try a few other people out.



You know after all that scolding of Ethan and his defense I feel like...
we're forgetting someone. Someone Big.


Someone...




















































THE BOULDER IS COMING FOR YOU!














Clearly Ethan doesn't want us to Progress. The arena was so difficult for
the enemies they had to equipped them with Silver weapons to hurt
THE BOULDER! Clearly Ethan is tampering with it.

So to level up properly we did a few Stars. Just look at these Growths!

I bet he could break his boot off in Ethan's ass!




SO LET'S DO JUST THAT!





YOU ARE SMALL AND I AM MIGHTY!
THE BOULDER HAS NO CONFLICTIONS HERE!




AND NOW THAT HE HAS HAD HIS VICTORY!



We will promote them both!

Look at these stats? Can this wimp even hurt The Boulder?



GASP! IN THEIR REMATCH HE HAS CHEATED!

ETHAN IS USING A SILVER LANCE! BUT TO WHAT END?

He can only match the Boulder's damage!



Only to fall short!



THERE IS A PLACE FOR PEOPLE LIKE YOU!

BENEATH THE BOULDER'S HEEL!



Let's do a Star now. Enough of this. We all know The Boulder is the best.



Man. Althares didn't even wait for me to begin. He just went right for him.



We just rush in with who we're going to use.
Putting these muscles to good use.



WAIT?! When did we get Noah?

More importantly he's on our side?! GASP!

Noah is dying! And there's nothing we can do about it.

To recruit Noah in the constellation you must have an open character slot.

He has a 1% chance of appearing during a turn in the Constellation main area.

Alas. Noah dies to further our cause. He will be missed... I think.



I'm not sure who will but it won't be you Haas.

Star completed. But at what cost? Let's ask Jake.



Need the proper people first!



...

SEPPUKU

I think that's enough for now.

Buh-Bai.

[Fire Blazer]

holy rap was Ace's strength 7 as a level 20 soldier?! O_O

and I think the Wo Dao is a bit long for Seppuku XD

[DH_Ninja]

Welcome back to Let's Watch Karina grow.

...



Now that that's done let's watch others.

Dat Skill.




Scary and hard hitting.



And with that done we've actually promoted everyone who needs promoting!

YEAH!



Oh and some of you may have seen this already.
Take a look and do some comparisons.

Time for some try outs.




The teams have been selected. There will be no mercy.

Best two out of three decides who stays!



Round 1 says that I'll control Cia.
I will then in turn take control of the losing side.



I simply could not risk letting Zach hit anyone else.
I don't know the hit rate.

First blood goes to Cia.



Clearly we need to avenge Liquid.

HAHA! You mis- *incinerated*



TRIPLE KILL!



Kill stealing, critical whoring Wyvern...



QUADRAKILL! Ace.



Game. 1 for Cia. 0 for Itsuke.



Round 2.



Don't even give her a chance!
But we immediately lose Corben.



Looks like Zach is our anchor.



Mark is clearly the stronger Berserker.



Gods no! Shadow men! What have we unleashed through this rite!



Nothing we can't handle apparently.



Ace dodges us. But for how long?



HRRRRRRKKKKRRRAAAAAWRRRRRGGGG.



We finish him off.



1 to 1.

There's only one wa-



What? This wasn't part of the rules!









FATALITY







GAH! I haven't even chosen a side! Stop it!

I guess we'll Axe her nicely.




These odds aren't in our favor...



Clearly Rex has some kind of demonic pact going on.




Now we could have ended but as you can see in this screenshot.

The AI did something stupid. They attacked with something less accurate
that did no damage even though they had something more accurate
that could hurt us. They did hit once. So by all means this should
have ended in their favor.

So I'm being nice and giving them a chance to redeem it self.






































































You know what this means.






































All it takes is a little motivation.





It calls to us. We need more sacrifices.


Buh-Bai everybody!

[Fire Blazer]

LOL, the void is pretty funny in retrospect, even though I had to throw it in as a result of hacking limitations XD

also... dat screenshot collections

and I didn't really put any extra effort into the link arena which is kinda why Rex's palette is messed up... I'd have had to go out of my way to fix it and idgac lol

[DH_Ninja]

Welcome back to Let's Play: The Last Promise.

Let's jump right into it shall we?



Quite a few recruitable characters. Including Cid and Leopold.
He was the recruitable guy we missed before.



Start this right by killing Asch. WHO DIES WITH HIS EYES OPEN.



Do some more fighting and some looting.

We won't be using that sword much however.

We go through most of this without trouble. Cid doesn't have a death quote.
Others go down pretty easily. Especially with bow and magic.

Taking our time. We need to unlock that door and I got careless.



Althares put himself in a bad position. And then this happened.



For all of are efforts in trying to save Ben.

He has fallen.

But as he died...he also told me.




Is this his way of telling me to be more tactically sound?

What shall I do to avenge him?



Save for beating the star.

On the bright side. We did need to make more room for new recruits.

Let's check on Jake.



Yeah... I know right?



*COUGH*TEKUN*COUGH*

Let's give the next star a look then.



Looks like Blaine's Castle. We never actually arrived here.



A general layout. Notice how there are generic enemies now?



Also here's where we are.



Two characters who have not appeared in the main game.

Regis and Lirianna. Lirianna was mentioned and is Alice's commanding officer.

I love her.

Regis is a cameo from another mod. Which mod? Can you guess it.

Anyway, he's an assassin with 12 con.

We're not going to give this a shot. It's long and treacherous.

I also solo'd it with Tekun in the beta. Who wants to see me do it again?



Or we could try our hand at this. 40 waves.

That's also a long run.

Let's do some training while we're at it.







Pellenore! That DASTARD! Of course he's irredeemable

Asch is the strongest but Paul is the most well rounded.



Cid is pretty vicious but doesn't cap anything.



Just as hard to use as Kevin in the arena but without the incredible pay off.

I'll see if I can use him later but for now he's being introduced to the bench.



Zoro grows like Tekun but with a 100% Growth rate in HP.
Tekun ends up pretty well off. He can maybe compete with Zoro.
I'm not sure how Con will effect things.

Risk ends up being the beefiest out of all of them.

Logan is by far the worst off.

I think we'll end it on this note for now.

Right now we have 37 units. The Maximum is 40.

We'll be recruiting 7 more characters. So we have to make room for 4 more.


What to do. What to do.

[Mercurius]

On the bright side. We did need to make more room for new recruits.

There's a limitation (that matters) for the total amount of characters you can keep around? (If there is, is it something deliberate or is it just something that came with the original game's design?)

[Fire Blazer]

Awesome stuff, keep it up.

@Tenebrae yes due to the limitations of the game. It glitches after like, 42 characters, and to be safe I just rounded off to 40. I'm not one to normally create arbitrary limitations, haha. Honestly in some games they limit how many of an item you can have in your inventory (like 15 elixirs for instance; not speaking of Fire Emblem which has a relatively unique inventory system), I wouldn't even do that that much haha, it's probably to prevent item spam in boss battles and such but honestly there are other ways to prevent it and it's more annoying than anything else... /opinionz

[Blitzzurger96]

this is (i think it is) very off-topic, but i'm playing the bravely default demo and i think that that item-limit system is probably in the game, demo or not.

on-topic, i think [(and this is when i restarted another run), (and i know i should put this on the bugs report sheet but i can't be sure until i actually check some things myself)]the music that plays on the opening screen is something else. i don't know if it's from before the final? version or after, but i'll investigate myself. yay next star!

[Fire Blazer]

You're probably playing on the beta which is a no-no. The theme song for that is Linkin Park's Burn It Down (it's a sort of tradition to have a different theme song for development versions lol). Proper versions of the game have the actual main theme, the name of which I can't remember (The Resonating Vow or something silly like that).

[DH_Ninja]

Welcome back to another exciting episode of Let's Play: The Last Promise.

So after much debate. I've decided I'm going to solo this Star with
the one and only Tekun.

The reason being is I like nostalgia and did this once before.

WATCH ME DO IT AGAIN PEASANTS.

Additionally. I send out another team to make sure that Tekun can solo it.



Give him a small boost of Magic Resistance just in case.



We just got to keep moving.



It dawns on Bravo team that they forgot their
weapons and have no healing supplies! GASP!

As Shadow falls the rest realize their only chance for survival is to regroup.



Also we discovered Pellenore can apparently do the Obi-Won-Kenobi thing.

It looks grim for Bravo team.



MMM. Tekun is having trouble too. Ace more so.



Haas, the last one remaining. Rushes to Tekun. The question is...
Will the cheiftan make it?



Probably Storm.



We go on a killing spree! But what's this?



This could mean trouble!



Zane and his squad pose a significant threat.



Especially if our weapon breaks like that. Ow.



We continue our fighting and... Look who else shows up.

YIKES!



YIIIIIIIIKES!



We're literally being backed into a corner.



These poor guys don't know what they're doing.





That's Right! Valentine's Day is near isn't it. Love is in bloom.

Oooooh. Tekun you saucy dog. You know just how to woo the women.



Love hurts.



At this point I was forced to restart. Tekun had no way to survive.

So I'm actually going to fast forward on a sincere second attempt.

I'll save the Lancereaver this time since I realized
I misplayed and broke it too soon.

So in the meanwhile...















Enjoy this picture of a poorly taxidermied Lion.





















Alright. So we're back.



We do a much better job of beating Zane back. I think we'll use that pillar.



After we finish him off with a lucky two blows from Onigiri.

Also. Round two with our lovely friend.

♫OPEN YOUR EYEEEES! I SEEEEE. YOUR EYES ARE OPEN!♫
♫WEAR NO DISGUISE FOR ME! COME INTO THE OPEN!♫




♫WHEN IT'S COLD OUTSIDE! AM I HERE IN VAIN?♫
♫HOLD ON TO THE NIGHT. THERE WILL BE NO SHAME.♫



♫ALLLLWAYS! I WANT TO BEEEEEE WITH YOU! MAKE BELIEVE WITH YOU!♫






Smooth Tekun. Smoooooth.



There's also a Secret Shop here. SURPRISE!



♫AND LIVE IN HARMONY! HARMONY! HAAAARMONY!♫



This shop is loaded. So we'll stock up for what's to come.

We'll skip ahead since it's just routing up a few stragglers. Also...



We lost 5 men. They will not be forgotten.


No matter how convenient their deaths were.




We drop Cero. Easily.



And we can't drop him unless we crit.



And in our aggression we almost lose our head...



4 Elixir uses later we get them both.

Fortunately Gary is a bit of a pushover.



We've got this.



We also get an amazing bonus! GASP!

This mysterious wing. Tune in next time to figure out what happens.

And will Tekun ever get that date?

Buh-bai for now.

[Fire Blazer]

LOL

that was great dude

I insist Gary is a pushover because of the WTA

way to solo though haha, that must've been tough. but now you've done it twice! XD

The Lirianna jokes were also great. XD as long as it's not Karina I won't have to kill you

also I can see you put a lot of effort into that one (as you usually do) so extra random props just for effort lol

[DH_Ninja]

Here's a bonus. I don't celebrate Valentine's Day but.






Credits to Tumblr User Marudashiwa [ http://marudashiwa.tumblr.com/ ] For the work.

[Fire Blazer]

oh my gosh lol did you commission that or was it just a favor? 10/10 either way XD

[DH_Ninja]

Welcome back to DH_Ninja makes witty one liners to images.

I found it only fitting to give Siegfried the Feather. There will be more but this
man did not receive any love main game so we'll give him what he deserves.

Also it seems that I did not get every unit so I'll do another quick run through
of that last star. It'll be off screened.

The Feather, if you can't guess. Increases all stat caps by 5 and
the level cap by 10.

Unfortunately this means our enemies will get that same treatment.



We use a bunch of items we picked up. Siegfried is pretty scary now.



Additionally. There's these. These characters do have supports we can get!

We could change that support to TekunxLirianna however!

1.) It would be rude to go that far with my edits.
2.) The game can't be changed via nightmare.
3.) Blazer is not my man slave.

You won't see me playing around with other Roms.

I figure I should say this now.




We visit Jake. Jake complains about monotony.



An amazing lance isn't it?

Also!

Here's something I find interesting.



Angelic Siegfried vs Siegfried at his peak. Surprisingly!
More con and defense. However he has double the HP we do.

Take it for what it is.



We do some training.



And then take up the challenge!




Here's our outfitting for this challenge. We will need that short bow.
You'll see why soon enough!



Some old faces make returns! But most of these waves are just generics.



We find out where Ada went. GRRR!

You're a loose end I won't leave tied up!



Lorraine draws first blood on us.

And Mina...

Once again, my biggest disappointment with the post game is this.

I wanted Mina on my team. Even if she is a throw away due to stats or con.
Wasted potential and much heart ache.



...












"Oh! Did you miss me?"



"No."













Moving on.



We hit the half way point. Things start heating up.



Some struggling but it's nothing we can't handle.



You notice how they group up like that? Just right next to you?

Well if I didn't have a bow with a 1-2 increment. I'd be rightly screwed.



Wave 37 is a nightmare because they hit hard. Really hard.

And they like to kite. Also dropping that gem. My soul hurts.



The hardest generic enemy in the game.

In order to do the arena you're almost required to not only have the elixir but
also the Iron Rune because of the chance of a crit ruining your run.

This guy is smart. He'll get close if you can't attack and will snipe from range 3.

He's a nightmare for poor Rachel to deal with. He could be harder. Alot harder.



But wait! There's more!



An Ether Sphere. Important because
it's one of the only things that increases Con in the game.

Anyway. I'll end on this note.

Buh-Bai!

[Fire Blazer]

Awesome chapter. lol'd as usual.

I'd be okay with the support but yeah to #2/#3 sorry I can't lol

Looking back I had fun with the wave titles haha

The champion is actually supposed to be non-generic and on the alleged hard mode he would have maxed stats and on subsequent runs on of the GA he would have angelic maxed stats lol

Unfortunately can't do everything in life right? haha

Ultimatum is a great bow though and is just one more thing to try and probe the player and persuade them to use archers, something a lot of people don't do (or don't do much of). A 1-3 range super strong bow should be motivation enough for at least one, and there are plenty of other solid bows (including the Rifle series which are 2-3 range and... I've said almost all of this if not all of it before but yeah lol).

Note that you don't get all those items on a second run though you do get the money (which is great but it IS time consuming)

Max Elixir was very much intended for this and having the Iron Rune is indeed very smart

as is having a shortbow for any sniper runs, Nomadic Troopers can use swords but yeah gotta be careful for some characters, especially on wave 37 I believe where you've got people shooting lightning and meteors at you ("This Weather Sucks") and if you don't have good range you'll either have to spam that elixir until they run out of uses or hope they miss and you get an opening lol

[DH_Ninja]

Hello and welcome back to Let's Play, The Last Promise.

It's been a while but life has a habit of pulling a gun on you at the worst times.

Anyway.

We'll be removing Risk and Cero from the party. Cero is a drain on our assests and
we have four Swordmasters. Honestly, we need to give one the axe.

I also took the time to bring Althares and Cia to a high enough level so we can use them properly.



One of my favorite stars.



Loki too.



We have to deal with Fenix again and now Lahar, the villian we never got to fight.

He's strong in his own right but, no super Siegfried.

We can also steal those Iron Runes. There are two of them.

And that warp staff will come in handy as well.

Let's look at the map.



Eerie green glowing was my suggestion. It is the best suggestion.

Don't try to tell me otherwise.



This is a map that isn't easy to solo or fight without a full team.
This is because for at least 12 waves the enemies continue to re-spawn when
you kill them. The game is a waiting game.



Or a force your way through anyway game. We obtain the runes by the by.
The name of the enemy group here is also incredibly fitting.



There's also a super secret surprise. We send Althares on a super secret mission.

The mission is shopping.



Super Secret Mission!

The Irony is the chest in the corner of the map has one of these and
I forgot to get it first so now I can't get Althares back. I didn't bring the right staff for that.



It takes us a legitamate 1 turns to clear out everything.

Try doing this with just your one angelic unit. You'll find yourself a bit hard pressed to defend Anakin.
(unless he is your angelic unit in which case you are a poor bastard.)



Revenge that is a game in the making. Because this is the post game.



We round up the stragglers.



BATTLE WITH THE BOSS. Wait... NPC?

Do tell? What is this?

Well let me explain.

But first! A message from Jake.




The super tome, Munio. Maybe we'll put this to good use?



THE BOULDER IS INTERESTED IN THIS OFFER.
MAYBE THE BOULDER CAN BRING THE REST OF HIS FRIENDS TO HIS LEVEL.

THEY CAN BE MINI BOULDERS.

While we were out we picked up some Wings.













Finger licking good.

Anyway, that's all for now.

Buh-Bai!

I'd just like to point out it's been a year of Let's Playing this game.

It may be a year but I've also taken literal month breaks and update sporadically. LPing isn't a full time job for me.

It's long but not as long as you make it out to be.
