Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes (part 18) | Golden Wildfire's End

actually holding steady [Music] all right it looks like we're good i honestly didn't expect it to be this stable so greetings everyone i am dr jay and it's been quite an interesting journey so far we've ended up picking the most controversial round to start with as far as fire emblem warriors three hopes is concerned and as a result of that it's been really interesting to watch unfold i'm kind of glad i started with this so that i could see more of why people were so upset with this route and to someone get upset a little bit as well because i'm having a little bit of trouble justifying one of claude's decisions but at the same time i have been quite eager to play it different only to see how things do change and to see if there is a reasonable answer for why they change either way it's also been a rather silly week overall as well because my ethernet outlet on my motherboard decided to go put so i had to shift things around a little bit in the back to make sure everything's fine but hopefully that's all taken care of and thus far just within the first minute of this stream yep i'm quite happy with the stability that i'm seeing from the bit rates so hopefully this time it'll actually stick maybe that's the reason for the problems i've been having lately with fluctuating bitrates all the same it's good to be back so this is going to be not the last stream that we do with fire emblem warriors but it is going to be the last that we spend with golden wildfire i have a few supports that i need to run through and grab on my own time and i'm debating as to whether to unlock them and wait to do reactions to them after the fact or if i want to just record the reactions and post them up separately or what i want to do but all the same there are a few supports that i need to go fetch there i do want to see how the game shifts if i decide to well make a certain decision to chapter 10 so i'll be very curious to see how that plays out for now though what we have on the jacket is first a bunch of support conversations let people stream in streaming yeah i'm clever so we've got a few support conversations all of them should be unlocked say for the three that are but well say for the three in the support chain that are barred so with any luck i'll have a grand old time so let's get to it you've got a lot to get through before the final battle claude there's something i need to discuss with you sure but keep it short i know i don't look it but i'm actually pretty busy here are you making light of how i usually respond to your requests hey don't be like that it's just a joke we can talk for hours if you want i've got all the time in the world there's no need i'm simply passing on a message from my father count ordealia huh go ahead i'm all ears i guess it's no surprise he has a word or two to say to the king i mean first the imperial invasion now all this unrest sweeping across the land none of this would have happened if i just kept a closer eye on those who slither in the dark hold on i think you have the wrong idea my father doesn't want to complain to you he'd actually like to thank you for bringing the fight with the kingdom to an end and for rushing to quell the chaos in our territories he also said he's willing to offer his full cooperation with any of your majesty's policy proposals all you need to do is say the word not entirely unexpected given the circumstances let's see how claude responds i appreciate that his broad-mindedness has always proven a great help then consider my message delivered but please don't put more of a burden on him than necessary anxiety has tormented his mind for years now and he's recently started finding his body less and less willing to cooperate with his brain so i've heard don't worry i won't ask any more of him than what's absolutely essential thanks claude i'll do the work of a hundred others in my father's place hey slow down there you already do too much as it is piling more on top of that is just gonna crush you and yet i need to do it all the same i can't let myself fall behind the other lester nobles most importantly i need to put an end to this war so i can start thinking about how to bring peace and stability back to house or delia's territory i get where you're coming from but everyone needs a break now and then your body's probably screaming at you to get some rest i'm all right well it's true my lifespan is slated to be short it's not like i'm gonna just drop dead out of the blue that doesn't mean you still don't need rest come on i'm just as healthy as i've ever been i assure you you look fine enough sure but there's something lingering beneath the surface weighing you down isn't there something the rest of us can't see your body's bound to give out if you keep pushing your limits without taking some time to recuperate but listen my cynthia i want this war to end just as fast as you do and once it does i'm going to settle the score with those who slither in the dark in other words it's in your best interest to stick with me so consider this an order from your king stop fighting like you don't have a tomorrow to live for i mean i'm still going to need plenty of help once the war is over i can't have you kicking the bucket before the real fun starts okay understood if it's an order from his majesty himself i guess i don't have much of a choice well technically you do i doubt claude would actually stop you but now if you'll excuse me i know i don't look it but i'm actually pretty busy here okay you're okay cute does she really understand though at any rate i'd better put this war to bed as soon as possible no pressure and looks like everybody is filtered in for chat hello boys let's see just started with xenoblade 3 all right looking forward to seeing how that turns out also hey duane oh did you change your name again no name oh well don't let me stop you from doing it i'm just surprised as all hey there ignots what are you up to oh claude i was just admiring the scenery i come here sometimes to bask in the embrace of unfettered natural beauty stunning isn't it i find being in the environment like this to be quite calming you can say that again my favorite napping spot's always been right under a nice shady tree that does sound comfortable what's the pause for eggnots you always wanted to be a painter right huh well yes but how did you know that you're not exactly discreet oh easy i've got you all figured out my friend all your secrets your worries everything i'm kidding of course right really it wasn't too hard to piece together i heard you haven't always wanted to be a knight and seeing you take in the world the way you do there was only one possibility you dreamed of being a painter but gave it up before you could ever make it a reality my father wished that i become a knight yes but the decision to actually do so was mine alone that's enough of that though what demands our attention most in this moment is the instability both in and outside of leicester's borders as a knight i must do whatever i can to help alleviate the situation you're right the whole alliance was in complete chaos when shaheed attacked but that's exactly why i founded the federation so we could overcome whatever strife came our way i really wish there was more i could do to help in that case how about we send you on a reconnaissance mission what wait where are you going with this is this just a ploy to get him to see more scenery are you just trying to inspire him in that direction please do it's simple you go to all sorts of different places maybe scout out a few towns and take note of everything you see in here while you're there sounds like the perfect job for you doesn't it are you sure i'm the right person for it of course i'm sure i want you to travel the world ignots see the wonders it has to offer with your own two eyes oh don't turn it down you know i thought my dream of becoming a painter was nothing more than dust in the wind that giving up was my only path forward in life but you've shown me that isn't how it has to be once this war is over i'll do whatever it takes to make it a reality again as you should what kind of dream would it be if you just abandoned ship the moment one little thing knocked you off course thank you claude once i'm a full-fledged painter i'll be sure to do a wonderful portrait of you i promise sounds good to me oh and make sure it's extra grand so that it'll survive for centuries to come of course that's what you latch on to yes of course all right fair enough how's this one gonna play out what should i do [Music] something wrong marianne what's up you know i make a great stand in for the goddess if you're looking for someone to talk to dude first of all your name's not bilat second of all dude sorry i wasn't really planning on eavesdropping i was just passing by and couldn't help but over here no i'm the one who should apologize don't worry about it so you want to tell me what's going on no but she's going to anyway is that a letter you've got there oh um yes from my adoptive father it's quite unusual for him to send me anything you don't seem too happy about it mind if i take a look if that's not too weird i mean um sure here all right let's see what we have here i see now that the nobles of lester have moved forward with their show of unity i believe it time for house edmund to make its intentions clear as well you don't like where this is going do you i think i get how your father feels both duke goneril and count gloucester have passed their titles down to their heirs if i had to guess i'd say he wants to do the same with you but the thought of me leading house edmund is simply too much to bear i don't know if he'll ever become the ruler he wants me to be not knowing what the future holds can be pretty nerve-wracking i'll give you that i remember going through the exact same song and dance myself you mean even someone like you can be crippled by worry yep i'm human too you know oh but there was this one little thing i found that made all my troubles disappear into thin air just poof gone what is that one little thing and i think you have it too mary ann i do but what is it it's called resolve and i get the feeling you've lost sight of yours what do you mean i know all about the power your crest holds there's no need to hide it the only thing you need now is the willpower to back that up so if you want help finding it i'd be glad to lend a hand i see thank you claude i think i've already found it because of you [Music] all righty relatively straightforward then all right so that's everything from clone all righty let's keep going down the line quite a few to wrap up with this one let's start up let's start on it [Music] huh uh-huh when did i fall asleep good question hey where did my glasses go another good question oh gosh where did i put them who's that guy wait really um hey there did you need something sir uh-huh is that you hilda you sound like wait ignots is that you you're really getting thrown off just because he doesn't have his glasses on seriously he doesn't look that much different yes but why didn't you oh right the glasses it doesn't make that much of a difference come on i totally couldn't recognize you without them so what happened to your specs well i fell asleep on that chair over there a little while ago and when i woke up they were gone i must have set them down before i napped but i can't remember where i put them you must have been really tired to do that want some help looking for them yes thank you they must be around here somewhere i'm sure the two of us will find them in no time so what's the world look like without your glasses eggnots well everything's blurry for starters and even if someone i know is standing right next to me i can barely see their face sometimes i just think they're a lamp or something like that yikes that's worse than i thought we'd better find them before you stumble into a moat or something you know what that's actually not outside the realm of possibility so yes do it do you really not remember where you put them no sorry i guess i was too tired and took them off without thinking about it [Music] aha here they are they must have fallen through the gap there [Music] thank you so much hilda you're very welcome i'm just glad we found them you look like a totally different person without those things you know i do yeah even once i recognized your voice it still took my brain a little bit to catch up it was weird you know i felt like i was alone in the room with some mysterious stranger oh dear do you have to frame it that way sorry about that still it doesn't look half bad without them um i mean i think your glasses suit you ignorance so make sure not to lose them again okay you know what no no comments i'll try to be more careful no freaking comments why are you like this hilda oh man what's chat up to let's see i'd like to return to spell jamming in realm space so the forgotten realm stuff mentioned in the previous stream because there's a lot of other interesting things worth talking about but i want to be sure you're okay with it as it doesn't have much to do with the current stream [Music] let's get through the support conversations and then we can discuss it while i'm excuse me yeah that was weird so let's get through the support conversations and then we could take a bit of a pause to discuss it alrighty what else you've got to say of course ignots is the sexy tweet without his classes oh god oh dear yeah i'm not gonna comment on that moving on [Music] marianne ah mary anne there you are i thought you'd be in the chapel i am i went to pray earlier than usual today you're really committed to this whole praying every single day thing aren't you oh no it's nothing so grand and besides praying to the goddess daily on behalf of my friends is really all i'm good for okay stop seriously you're amazing marianne there's a ton of stuff you do that no one else could possibly handle i suppose so yeah well i know so um hilda why are you always so nice to me wait is that really a question you want answered huh what do you mean well you have so many other close friends yet you always seem to go out of your way to show me kindness and decency you even took responsibility when judith was about to break me during our armor sorting escapade oh dear yeah i guess i did huh i totally forgot about that yes and i have wondered ever since why you did such a thing [Music] it's no big deal i guess i just wanted to be nice seriously marianne you're the best and having you around makes my life a lot easier wait how where are you going with this so just consider it my way of saying thanks for all the times you helped me out i've helped you absolutely you're my emotional support you're always around when i need a shoulder to cry on or somebody to listen when i get all mad you always know the exact right thing to say and then you smile at the end of it and it's like i don't know it makes me all warm inside you do all that little stuff without even thinking of it and it really keeps me going i never thought of it like that i had no idea you found me helpful if anything i thought you considered me a burden thank you hilda your words they they mean a lot to me and they will do my best to support you in all the days yet to come all right get it out of your system youtube there's that smile you never fail to brighten my day marianne [Music] all right are you too good now oh this is gonna be a fun one this is gonna be a fun one yes that should do quite nicely and how are you faring hilda already over here i couldn't make any fancy dishes but since we're just throwing this thing together in our spare time folks will just have to deal with it exactly the quality of the food isn't the point of a feast like this it's about sharing a celebration over our recent victory you had quite the showing out there on the battle my lord there is no one in the entirety of foldlin that can hope to best you i wholeheartedly agree it would be my great honor to have even a modicum of your skill one day but my power alone did not win the day friends this victory belongs to us all post really is incredible i mean despite what he says he basically won the last battle all by himself which makes him the man of the hour again where are you going with this he's earnest hard-working and full of talent the opposite of me in every way oh that's why you're just that's why the tone of voice took a nosedive okay now let's get started today we feast in honor of a person who is instrumental in our victory my sister fill the valentine gonna roll huh my lady i thank you on behalf of all my soldiers we'd not be here now if it weren't for your quick thinking deft action there are no words to express all that you and your brother have done for us huzzah okay what's going on i thought you were the guest of honor at this little get-together host whatever do you mean this feast is all about celebrating your actions in our last battle but i didn't do anything i just branded the front line hacked a few guys and then pulled back at which point you saw an enemy giving chase and laid him low yes are you aware that person was the enemy commander the moment you dispatched him his forces crumble we then pressed the attack and enjoyed swift victory as a result of course really he didn't seem very impressive oh no this is where we're going with this okay cool i mean the guy went down in one hit how tough could he have been were you wielding franco gold that is a hero's relic you know it sounds like you still don't know just how strong you are your brother aside there is no one in house goneril who could stand against you my lady here here we all rely on you and we'll continue to do so into the future no pressure it was great having everybody shower me with compliments but i still want to know why you threw a feast for me in the first place because he's holst you could have just patted me on the back and told me good job and i would have been happy you're always putting me on a pedestal held up but you never appreciate your own accomplishments i want you to be prouder of yourself i want your degree of pride to match your level of strength also i want everyone to know how great you are there's the angle that's why we have the feast a shame it was so small but the next one will be a true banquet and who's going to put that together considering i basically did all the prep for this one hmm we could get balthas to help maybe pay him a little bit for his trouble well if i can get the ingredients together i'll treat you to my specialty next time it's just gonna be a it's just gonna be a bunch of mushrooms though i don't know if that's necessarily a good thing isn't your specialty made from whatever you find lying by the side of the look forward to it dear sister oh my gosh [Laughter] perfect yep that's pretty much what i'd expect oh hey delta right how you doing alrighty that's most of them down next on the chopping block hmm yeah something's still not quite right here maybe the chest decoration is a little lonely there's no way this accessory is good enough to sell in its current state something wrong hildy hey dorothea yeah i'm actually trying to make a necklace but it's not going well i just can't shake that feeling it's i don't know missing a little something i guess anyway i was just mulling over what i should do about it oh so this is one of your handmade accessories i've wanted to see one for so long might i offer an opinion oh absolutely give me the brutal truth i can handle it this is fine workmanship much more elaborate than the goods you can buy off a common tinker hmm wait were you i was not expecting a put down of some kind of a criticism but huh unless you're going to say it last direction or something like that ah the chain is patterned after a vine yes i see forgive an amateurish opinion but what if you were to add some leaves under this floral decoration if there were a pattern that bridged the flower and the vines that might lend it the special something you feel like you're missing you know what that just might do it yeah i think you're really on to something there dorothea thanks a million i'll give it a shot i'm glad i could help oh but now i'm going to come to you whenever i'm in a pickle about how to fix an accessory you know no pressure i would be delighted say do you have any interest in actually selling the items you make huh wait you think i could sell them as i said earlier you rarely see goods of this quality they could for example be used by an opera troop oh that's the spin like the middle front opera company there's the spin exactly stage costumes use all manner of accessories and ornamentations you know and once they're seen in such a setting nobles from near and far will be clamoring to buy them oh oh okay so it's a mutually beneficial arrangement well i have seen the conversation between dorothea and yuri back in three houses so this makes sense dorothea i love you i'm so happy i could scream actually maybe we could keep this spirit of our newfound cooperation going see someday i actually want to open a school for craftspeople who make accessories like mine and since you used to work at the opera company maybe you could help me with the whole businessy side of things i mean opera people are pretty good with accessories and stuff right so what do you think that's wonderful hildy what ideas you think of there are a few jobs retired opera members can get which was always a source of worry for the company so let's definitely return to this conversation in the near future all right oh i am so glad i met you dorothea where was that in three houses oh well i feel like i'm saying this a little too much where was this in three houses so many questions like that all the same carry on wait lawrence only has one conversation to see to and again i guess with the main students he doesn't have too much to say i'd already dealt with the ash and wolves so guess that makes sense carrying on ah the simple joys of a refreshing morning's exercise oh hey lawrence kind of early for you isn't it what are you doing here in truth i was waiting for you leone i merely decided to fit in a spot of training in the meanwhile for me there's something i was hoping to speak to you about do you recall our last conversation here oh wait was it a matter of just comparing strength you said the day may come that more commoners begin to make their own choices begin to live without relying on the nobility sure i remember what about it well your words were quite shocking to me i've spent no small amount of time turning them over in my mind since if you speak true i wonder how i as a noble should proceed huh and you reach any grand conclusions well it is an ironclad rule of the nobility that the commoners living on our land fall under our protection and yet some still slip through our fingers that is simply the state of things in today's world in a way you are one of them though you did choose this path of your own accord hold on did you really have to put it like that i didn't slip through anyone's fingers i jumped out all on my own well yes i suppose you did my apologies in truth i find it exceedingly difficult to stand in the shoes of the everyman while also pushing matters forward as a noble but if i'm unable to do exactly that i have no hope of preserving the stability of my territory as such i am looking to bring an exceptional commoner into the ranks at house gloucester to act as my advisor that's a surprise i thought there was supposed to be some huge boundary between nobles and their people i assure you such a boundary still exists but i've come to realize something of late as we proceed into the uncertain future more and more common folk will begin to break free of their defined roles such an era will be upon us before long your actions are proof enough of that oh so you're trying to make sure that you've got your ear to the ground by having someone well who was raised in a different lifestyle okay makes sense pretty st pretty much expected what i based on what i know from three houses so yeah good stuff whoa slow down there i don't think i'm some kind of great trailblazer or anything i've simply interpreted the meaning behind your words i thank you for leading me to this realization [Music] yeah still not seeing it i don't need your thanks leonie i had this idea with your story in mind as for the commoner i would invite to house gloucester the proposal i mentioned earlier how would you like to fill that role i appreciate the invite really and i know it's supposed to be this huge honor but there's other things i want to do in life my dream is to become a mercenary just like the captain and i'm already on the road to making that happen i can't abandon that i won't very well i suppose i would not want to stand in the way of your dreams in that case i pray you succeed in your endeavors but i'll be here should you ever change your mind good to know i have a backup thanks laurence well if things end up like they do well if you recruit felix oh that ending to that support chain was weird oh man all right slowly but surely making a dent in these all right let's chat up too ah talking more about realm space all right let's see what you got to say as well just hey kid oh wow i've been here for half an hour probably good to break it up a little let's see as i mentioned there exist entire portals of sports of spell jammers but not only guntorio there exists gnomish ports on asteroids drifting around planets okay so this is more a matter of so if you're looking at the forgotten realm setting you're only looking at well you're looking far beyond faerun then one of the plant kinda gardens is actually a giant tree in space whose roots drilled into massive meteorites creating a planet that way huh how did that form let's see a literal flat earth let's see there's also a literal flat earth mostly made out of ocean and with a giant thousand mile tall mountain the peak in the middle of it it's natively inhabited by beholders who's purely for pragmatic purposes that outsiders come to their world and trade with them ah a place that's in purely inhabited by beholders i'd be surprised that that civilization is still intact though given the nature of beholders tend to be very self-interested although i suppose given their psionic abilities it would be pretty easy to keep well to convince people to trade with you and offer other services either way oh geez there's a lot in this one we're going to be here a while all right next round delicious as always all right now that the old stomach's full it's time to put my muscles to work raphael do you have a minute does he oh hey eggnots i've got hours for you what do you need well um how would you feel about joining me as a knight i mean me be a night with you yes that's why you joined the academy right but all the roadblocks in your way have made you almost a mercenary at this point as you know i've been working as a knight under house gloucester for a while now and it seems i'm going to be rewarded rather well when this war is over for all my achievements in helping the effort i might even be able to use that newfound sway to recommend you for a position of your own rafael well what do you think it seems like a good plan to me i don't know if he'd actually go for it though given that he's got familiar responsibilities is that really what you want ignots uh-huh well what do you mean don't pretend like you don't know oh that's why he's got the angry face oh he knows exactly what's going on we're friends remember i can tell in the flash when you're not being honest with me well i i couldn't possibly spend all that reward money on my own so that's not what i'm talking about you're not happy staying as a knight and you know it you really do see straight through me raphael honestly i've wanted to make amends with you this whole time your parents died in my parents stead after all i thought the least i could do was help you become a knight like you always wanted thanks iggnutz it makes me real happy to hear you say that but you don't need to make anything up to me and you definitely shouldn't be basing your life decisions on it you got where you are with your own strength right you should be using that for what you want not what you think anyone else does raphael and you know i'm totally okay not being a knight once this war is finally over and we're at peace again i'm gonna take over the end so don't worry about me okay follow your own dreams ignots i'm really no match for you raphael but i'm proud to call you a friend from the bottom of my heart all right that's rather touching good call all right this ought to be an interesting conversation hey there marianne what's up and i can't get this poor thing to return to the stable is it a horse when i asked what was wrong she said her stomach is in such terrible pain that she can't even take a step yeah that sounds like a real pickle if we could get her back to the stable i could examine her and provide medication but aside marianne it's raphael's time to shine i'll get your horsey back to the stable in no time wait what yes but um how exactly um you're not actually gonna lift it right you'd need dimitri's strength for that not yours easy i'll get her onto that card over there and push her back home but i highly doubt she'll be willing to get into the cart given her current state ah it's fine just leave it to me good horsey good horsey just like that see it's not such a bad card and here we go [Applause] and it's gonna kick you in the face why are you loading thank you very much raphael i gave her medicine so she should feel much better soon [Music] it seems she wants to thank you as well oh you don't need to be thanking me horsey i'm just glad you're feeling better i hope this isn't rude but i still can't believe you're able to lift a horse with your bare hands how okay how much does the average horse weigh i need to know this [Music] i refuse to believe that that's actually possible yeah you're not lifting that raphael no no you're not lifting that your little horsey there was just the right size to wake up my sleepy muscles a pony i could believe not a horse so what was wrong with her tummy anyway i fear she made a snack of some rotten fruit that's rough she's always been a bit of a clinton i'm afraid still i'm surprised she went so far as to eat something she found by the side of the road oh so she is basically a twin spirit with holst ah she was just hungry and eating what was around trust me i know the feeling i've eaten a lot of weird stuff before like what uh i don't know old hard stuff fuzzy green stuff i think i ate some long really stuff once um what goodness me and you weren't sick even after eating all of those bizarre things nope oh before the record i only eat weird stuff when i'm really hungry i wish this poor horse had a stomach like yours hey if you want a strong stomach all you got to do is whip those gut muscles into shape i that's not how no no no that's not how that works children don't take advice from raphael first you do a thousand crunches give or take then you wolf down as much meat as you can handle do that and you'll have an iron stomach in no time [Music] why give it a few days and you won't even notice when you eat the weird stuff um i'm sorry but i really don't think that's a proper training regimen for a horse hmm oh that's right horses don't eat meat but i'm sure she still very much appreciates your desire to help raphael [Music] oh oh what should you say now yes i see apparently she's feeling much better and wants to go for a run in a large open field that was quick see she does want to work out really come on marianne the three of us are going running 50 win sprints around the field let's go oh jeez wait i have to run wind sprints what does that even mean you know what i don't want to know what that means i'm moving on i'll pay attention to chat later [Music] late again i just get so caught up in my studies oh wait a minute the strange noise of now i'm remembering the first conversation this is gonna be silly it's just a wolf there it is again no it must be raphael today it has to be i checked that he'd be training in everything he even specifically said he'd be doing it after dinner so unless it's a cat that doesn't make it any less scary though you know magic just blast anything you see wait actually that's a female voice isn't it i guess he can't help but yell while he trains but i really wish he'd figure out how not to hey what's with the creepy voice i could ask you the same thing do you have to be so loud and booming all the time the least you could do is keep it down a bit oh no she's figuring it out rafael what are you doing here what do you mean i'm on my way back from my training session but you heard that weird noise too right i tried listening real close to see where he was coming from but no luck wait wait wait you mean to tell me you're not the one who was making it oh no here we go and here i'd convince myself it was you training hey now my muscles screamed during a good workout but it's nothing horrible like that i'm sorry raphael wait that's not the point if it wasn't you then maybe there really is a ghost it's probably just a feral cat or something calm your butt oh just throw dark spikes at it you'll be fine yep i think it's coming from inside the storage i don't care where it's coming from just go on and check it out already raphael well okay but are you sure you want me going alone i'd be leaving you here all by yourself yeah i don't want that i'll stay hidden behind you this is the place come on lycithia we're going in why'd you turn off the music i knew it wait it's a puppy oh hey there little guy you hungry again wait again oh no have you been feeding it you're a big eater just like me the minute you finish one meal it's straight onto seconds yeah i know a cat like that yes i'm talking about you and he's napping without a care in the world my cat's adorable though raphael do you know this dog oh yeah he's my eating buddy little guy can chop down ten times his body weight and food wow and he stayed so small oh wait just a minute shouldn't you have realized it was him earlier i got all spooked for nothing oh you're just gonna end it there no i want to see more of that conversation no that was actually funny no go back to that oh boy all right what does this chap it up to ah more of talking about what it what did you call it realm space let's see oh yeah it's speaking on the gods realm space is also inhabited by atropis an undead world who is a stillborn who is a stillborn god born of the dawn of creation huh wait and so a world that's also a god how's that work still inhabited by countless undead heading his presence causes even safe and even sapient unwilling creatures like vampires or liches to go completely insane and beast chill wait even liches wow it's also orbited by kinds of troubles those lesser failed goblins one of the etropolis was transported into chult by a lich it's let's see let's see by a lich named zakarak wait a sarah severe wreck and a cabal of night hacks to be nourished into true godhood oh boy which would turn toriel into a world of undead but was thankfully stopped by adventures i.e the random drunk hobos with unnerving combat abilities yeah pretty much oh relevant comments raphael you beautiful idiot you had the secret weapon the whole time and didn't tell us yes clearly that's what we're gonna do we're gonna throw the puppy at the war we'll devour everything in sight perfect plan i see no problem with this got any arrows left raphael this is my last one there are so many wolves i can't believe we've run out of arrows guess all your archery skill doesn't mean much if you don't have arrows huh yeah that's pretty much the long and short of it at this point we just have to take with hang on leone i got this ah he's rafael he'll just brute force his way through you've been helping me with archery so now it's time for me to break out my specialty raphael that was amazing you saved us it's all because you reinforced this boat for me yeah but i had no idea that's how you were planning to use it oh you just went and started swinging instead of throwing instead of shooting arrows you started throwing bows i mean you just grabbed it by the end and started thrusting it like a spear no wonder those wolves ran off you probably scared them all to death i'm just impressed this thing held up to all that punishment your enhancement saved the day leone still the fact that i couldn't break it means i'll have to work out even harder till i can wait no that's a bad idea and yet my muscles are crying for some good breakage i don't know leone what do you think i mean if you can put in the force then that arrow's gonna shatter once it hits somebody and it's gonna really hurt so keep going at it hey your muscles saved our hide so if you want to smash that boat of splinters knock yourself out still i reinforced that thing pretty well so you'll need to come at it with everything you've got and if you do manage to snap it i'll keep making new ones until i finally perfect a raphael proof bow now that's an idea i can get behind i'll do what i'm good at building muscles and you do what you're good at building bows that way we can combine our powers to be the toughest fighting duo in all of boatlin you may be right i mean i'm not sure if we'll be quite the force of nature you seem to think we'll be but it'll definitely put our strong suits to good use i want to see raphael just yell rules of nature before charging into battle with us with this guitar i want that now yes rafael split it wide open oh i want to see that now i want to see that edit someone do it i need to finish learning how to draw and get good at it so i can make the edit say do you remember what i said when i first helped you reinforce that bow i told you you'd help me with your specialty one day just like i was helping you with mine and guess what that's exactly what happened today i think this is the start of great things for us i can't wait to see where we go from here i'll be counting on you big guy all right nice way to close that one out next on the chopping block looks like i managed to hit everything from my city editor and all that as well all right there you are iggy what is it happy here for you uh-huh thank you oh that's hilarious someone had a really fun time drawing that didn't they did you draw this i sure did what do you think it's really good even better than i'd expect really yes i feel the raw energy coming from each of your powerful pen strokes i can't tell if you're just trying to be nice or trolling happy to hear it so what can i do to make it better let's see well i suppose it might be nice to add a little greenery to the background the subject is very well drawn so you can fill the background with color and it will still stand out greenery yeah that makes sense oh and maybe you could add some flowers with a few more details you can expand your world and really bring out the majesty and mystery of nature i don't think her interest is in nature right now but i don't really need any of that stuff do i i mean that's not the vibe i'm going for oh sorry yes prioritizing the impression of the subject as it is now is equally important your dear was just so well drawn that oh no well i guess i ended up you thought it was a deer personally like wait you said deer oh no oh no the deer right there the one that's pretty much the entire subject of the drone oh no i didn't draw a deer oh no then what's the brown thing so that's what it looks like huh it was supposed to be a guy guess i'm bad at this that's not true at all i mean now you're figuring it out look you drew me before so i guess it inspired me to try my hand at it but it looks like i'm no good so it's probably time to hang up my paintbrush no wait i can teach you you can't give up on art just because i didn't understand your work well if you say so i guess i'll keep going huh okay so who is this a picture of you it's you iggy sorry did you say me how did i figure this out immediately i mean you look at the small what is it the small circles around the eyes come on it was obviously you wait so what are these horns those are your glasses obviously that's what those are oh i did it again i'm so sorry stop apologizing it's too funny wait that's where you're ending it no keep going i want to no no no i want to see more no give me more ah why do you always end when it's getting good oh well this game is silly she's thirsty for that nerd should i tell her should i tell him [Music] to be fair the best support chain that came out of three houses what's between her and dash so uh that's not untrue i'm just gonna move on [Music] can't believe i didn't catch anything guess it's just that kind of day oh hello leonie hey marianne where are you off to nowhere um i mean i'm just on my way back from the stables and you coming back from the world's lousiest hunting trip i didn't even find a single track and it's the first time i've been hunting in a while too huh talk about a waste of time had rafael done charging through with petra or something beforehand oh that's too bad um but what is that you're holding oh this just some weeds felt bad coming back completely empty-handed wait dimitri's not in your party why are you here it's not like you've got anyone to hand those to i figured i could use some to fill up my meal so i went and gathered them also grabbed some medicinal herbs while i was at it is that yellow flower edible too no not at all it's not poisonous but it's really bitter it's one of my favorite flowers though they're so pretty don't you think i saw some blooming and just had to pick one yes it's beautiful all those tiny blossoms blooming from it it seems almost heroic merely looking at it gives me the strength to continue living for another day no matter what obstacles may come okay that's really stilted i mean that's sort of marianne since she doesn't know as much about socializing but huh can't say i've ever given it quite that much thought tell you what why don't you take it are you sure after you went and picked it hey it's just a flower it's yours thank you no i'll feel bad keeping this lovely flower out to myself maybe i can put it in a bouquet and place it in the mussel for everyone to enjoy you're always so thoughtful marianne oh no it's nothing it's something all right but speaking of flowers are there any you want me to keep an eye out for i can pick whatever you like next time i go hunting well perhaps some mountain gooseberry the little green berries right oh man i love those you can boil them up into jam but i usually just eat the suckers by the handful wherever i find them yes i was thinking they'd be perfect to feed the birds wait i don't think that's what leone had in mind but okay wait you're giving them to birds i'll eat them too together with the birds but there's something you have to watch out for oh what are we doing now you mean the thorns right you're pretty knowledgeable about those little guys have you picked them before yourself no but the birds told me all about them wait huh the birds told you marianne you actually made a joke i love it that facial expression says it's not a joke i mean [Music] does the crest of the beast give you the ability to actually speak with animals or because this is more explicit than it's actually been very explicit here because there were hints that she might be able to speak to animals or at least understand them on a more fundamental level but this is being a lot more explicit well i'm glad it made you happy i have questions about your power level i have questions about a lot of things to be fair but all right let's chat up to oh some reference to what was mentioned about the what is it realm space let's see so i'm assuming you were answering my question about octopus atropus let's see so the world in case of a tropos is more of a metaphor he's simply huge and kind of looks like a normal world if you're far enough so more like it so i guess all right i think i understand let's see the only weird thing being how you can see it despite its distance and of course it's the god it's a god-fledged corp inhabited by undead as previously mentioned so yeah that's one way to stand out i guess okay i'm very curious to see how this one plays out ah there you are marianne i've been searching the entire base for you yuri is something wrong why do you sound out of breath yuri this is what's wrong where do you think you're going at this hour you know i've been worried this whole time that you might actually leave like you said you would oh no i'm just walking my horse i have him tied to the tree over there i just can't believe you'd ever think of wait what you're walking a horse but why you're surprised by that and we've got a late start but i always take them out on certain days why are you surprised by this say something right then it seems i worried for nothing i'm sorry it's all my fault no it's not there's no need to apologize i'm just glad my worries turned out to be unfounded but why are you so worried about me what do you don't remember how the last conversation ended actually let me ask you a question could you turn a blind eye to a friend who says she'll be gone soon and then can't be found anywhere the fact is i have no worth to anyone here so interject now okay knock that off you've got plenty of worth for one there are things you can do that even i can't in fact this seems like a perfect chance to show you exactly why i was glaring at you that one day huh yuri is something wrong with dorte so your name is dorte that's a lovely coat you have there i see someone has groomed you too oh [Music] oh you're allergic to horses oh are you all right oh glaring at the horses are you better now what happened isn't it obvious that sort of thing always happens whenever i get too close to horses or cats oh that's tragic cats too and when the sneeze approaches my eyes narrow reflexively that's probably why it looked like i was glaring at you luckily it's mostly just sniffles so i don't go out of my way to tell people about it still i probably should have told you from the start apologies for giving you the wrong idea marianne if you apologize marion i swear to the goddess or whatever it exists in this game no it's all right it's really my fault for jumping to conclusions okay at least there's a qualifier in there i can live with that and i'm sorry you had to i had my horse the next time you say sorry i'm going to glare at you furry [Music] oh it's you um would you mind if i tried some detoxifying magic on you i'm not certain it will have any effect but it may temporarily alleviate your symptoms at least detoxifying you know if this works it may help one of my lifelong dreams come true huh what most certainly i'd love to go on a long trail ride or put a room full of friendly cats all afternoon that's a lifelong dream of yours i'm sorry yuri i'm just so surprised those are truly wonderful dreams to have you really are softy yuri aren't you and i would love to help you achieve them if i can i'd be glad to take you up on that offer do you see now why i said you aren't worthless now let's do this marianne hit me with the most powerful magic you've got [Music] okay not the direction i expected it to go but you know what i like it keep going in that direction let's see now do i want to want you know i'm gonna wait for this one until we get to the black eagle routes i'll just knock it down well i'll just mark it off and then worry about it later all right one more conversation so anything i need to see to chat oh i missed an earlier comment about earlier on okay where is it [Music] oh i'm not seeing anything before the speaking of god's comment one not sure [Music] huh maybe it's not just not showing up on my end unless oh this it must be this comment so there exists several quote-unquote stars so in reality are love crafty and gods of the ability race those gods are summoned by abilities from far realms and ritual i mean oh dear and so basically yeah going full lovecraft oh boy fun times about oh and just as i start the support conversation the cats demand my attention give me a second boys i need to see to them all right guys what do you want from me [Music] as expected they just won out so there should be no more interruptions tonight so we got the night to ourselves ladies and gentlemen right in time to finish one last support conversation often then [Music] and then where the real fun begins tonight coco i'm not gonna make it happy what in the world do you mean you look rather unsteady all of a sudden i'm so sleepy why not just end my suffering now what are you on watch duty and don't like it too bad can you not pull yourself together you were the one who volunteered for guard duty in the first place oh that's a different i don't think i've ever seen that idle animation before interesting i know but whenever it's just the two of us like this it reminds me of how things used to be [Music] and then i get all nostalgic and sleepy usually i'd be in bed right now you know well i cannot deny feeling a little nostalgic myself i can't believe we're still together after everything that's happened we had to stick with the church for a while and then we were lucky enough to be taken in by the federation wild right i don't know how to describe it it's almost like we're best friends or something almost have you already forgotten what you once told me you said that you would be so utterly lonesome without me to keep you company that it would only be a matter of time before you began to sigh a mystery that i will never be able to understand it was necessary that i stay with you in order to avert certain disaster i had no choice in the matter you see did i really say all that you did indeed it was the very day we left abyss if memory serves all right then fine by me i wonder what everyone else from abyss is up to now we know balthas and yuri are alive and well and i believe it is likely everyone else is thriving too rhyming in the middle of a war are you sure about that yeah i think you're probably right do you ever wish you could return to those days back in abyss me nah not really most of the people here don't know about my power they actually treat me like a normal person indeed plus you're here it's like you said i'd get lonely without my cocoa what about you would you be lonely without me well lonely is not necessarily the word i'd use where are you going with this so it's just me then huh okay fine i would i would be positively despondent without you here there you go that wasn't so hard was it i'm glad you finally admitted it okay fair cup why must you always tease me so because it's funny to watch you squirm come on you are pretty happy when i volunteered for guard duty weren't you yes well you see that was because it had already been assigned to me i nearly thought it would be easier to have a partner with whom i was already familiar same here that's why i volunteered i knew you'd be my partner coco i simply cannot win with you no you can't [Music] all righty that should be all of them yep alrighty ladies and gentlemen it's time actually real quick let me just go do one la actually you know what i'll do one last cursory glance elsewhere what i'll do just in case there's any more that i missed yeah don't overwrite the chapter 10 save i'll need that for later let's chat up too cats the real dominant species of earth to be fair the way that my roommate and i spoil them you're not wrong right boys and girls unexplored surveying spots remains what did i miss oh this random thing not that that helps me a whole lot now this is literally the last level i guess they're expecting me to go into new game plus are they giving me such a powerful bow literally on the last battle although to be fair the black eagle route is going to be a new game plus run so i guess that's not untrue but all the same let's press on your grace the federation army is approaching from the south king claude appears to be commanding them personally but of course the rebellious blood of those wretched ten elites has led one of their descendants to turn his blade against us perhaps it was a mistake not to have terminated their bloodlines long ago of course that's where you go what backed against the wall you could refer to murder hobo mode your grace lady raya with the kingdom army occupied on the western front we will have little in the way of support from them i believe the wisest course of action would be to retreat to ferdiad and attempt to hold the palace there no we will face them here long before the kingdom even existed saint cerro slew the fell king nemesis upon this very soil you also had the empire's backing when you did that this field is a sacred place for the church of saros we will have the goddesses protection here what the goddess is soldier put in by left indeed but you have nothing to worry about if anything should happen i want you to take flame and escape now that's gonna be my compromise then i'll have to kill reya but at least i don't have to kill senate and flame okay i can live with that lady raya you cannot mean that long have i protected fatlin in the goddess so this is dead it may be time for that duty to finally come to an end and would you accept that not willingly no in our absence future generations are likely to repeat the foolish actions of their ancestors and when that happens who will be left to stop them this land has suffered enough as it is i will fight with all my strength and spirit for my mother for the future even for humanity what shall come to pass only the goddess knows such are her teachings the teachings of my mother all right [Music] the die all right allaya iacta est well what's that supposed to mean said claude and lawrence loose on the enemy how's that gonna work let's see [Music] let's make things fun okay this is our last battle and i know that i'll want violet and gerald deployed just to make this interesting time to move so i think to make that happen yeah claude definitely needs to be one of the deployed i think what i'll do is i'll have by oh wait a minute i didn't do the hang on a sec i forgot to give the merc whistle to someone i need to go back real quick that's probably going to take a little bit to load in but i can always just skip through that cut scene later okay i need to give the merc whistle to someone who should i give it to ah probably one of the round exclusives i cast a wide net though i'm not too worried about gameplay benefits so and let's just hand it to claude one step at a time well if you're sure i promise i'll take good care of it i want you to have this it means a lot to me notes on poisons of course a freaking course can i see that item in the convoy ah i can't let's see so what's that give me change the unique action ability to dust cloud okay now that should be a mirror of claude's innate ability so if i go over to [Music] the abilities section i should be able to see imbue attacks with devastating whip okay cool alrighty i'm not too worried about that i just wanted to see what the result would be alrighty boys without further ado let's get in there not to worry about overriding yet okay i just need to find a place to deploy violet probably don't need eggnots for this one so i'll probile it down here off to work [Music] all right so we've got let's see yeah that should be fine london lawrence will do just fine who do i want to give nurses probably you since and that i'm actually in control of you [Music] okay there anything else i want to mess with while we're here i probably don't need the leoni in play all right who should i have that i'm not too worried about this aspect anymore so although i think i've got all my bases covered right now unless i want to bring hilda along too actually i don't have an axe swinger so we'll go with hilda all right so you've got the aurora shield so i'll have to keep hilda close but close to someone if i want to make sure there's no problems there all right just make sure that the convoy is good for everybody in play yeah take the sword of zoltan since no one else will need it you can take the lance you can take the scythe of cereal and how good's groud of us and not as good all right you're not going to find much better than the night captain sword especially after i put a couple upgrades into it [Music] all right that'll be fine let's see you've got fracker goal all right that's everybody i don't want to worry about being any more granular than that no probably not all right ladies and gentlemen wow 25 minutes holy crap how long do they expect this to and 70 oh crap is real gonna go full immaculate one i think he's gonna go full immaculate one all right hang on boys all right i'll help you out initiating the opera i'll help you out you can count on me allow me to age yeah let's come with me battle of tail team i will strike down any fool who dares dishonor our creator this is it folks if we slay ray we'll usher in a new era for foglin give it all you got there's no need to rush just keep pressing forward our first objective is to capture the strongholds on the front line oh man quite a few that we have to claim then wait is that seth yeah i'm on it all right gerald make your move everyone stake your lives on this battle and make the goddess not a problem we will annihilate yeah shut up ray i need to plant stuff there's nothing i cannot do all right there's flame over there all right make your moves wicked federation we've managed to advance this far as two groups but i didn't foresee the bridge being down [Music] we'll just have to hold out until we can meet up again i might actually put in some effort good work gerald boom got a love break shot i'm not there yet you better because it's the final battle we're at oh i'm so glad i improved your weapons holy crap this makes a difference ah hell cyril that's gonna be bad for us and he's an axe swinger great i'll fight into my dying breath to protect lady raya yeah i don't think i can save you cyril you're just gonna have to die i think i will remember your heroism not a problem yeah i'm gonna have to kill cyril damn it none shall surpass me i must not let the steal all the glory i will open a path for our forces to unite he's certainly motivated can he seriously handle all that he may seem like all bark and no fight but he always follows through he can do this they appear to be having a difficult time yeah you're going to have to intervene aren't you all right said it is in play [Music] all right freeze him so that you've got an opening on the stronghold but now it is time to display my full strength ah the same strength you'd hope to overthrow me with no one's more eager to see it than i am ah great you're not done yet well someone needs a blade breaker all right good job you two vlog's still up hard at work so i don't have to worry too much good job violet i wonder if there'll be any unique dialogue from [Music] oh no do i have to kill you no please no we've been told to return to the capitol but we're the only ones who can protect the church's people is that mercedes does that mean the kingdom's commanding those troops until the very end oh no i don't think i've got the ability to walk away from that one either wait the death knight mercedes so this is where you've been i will save you oh no oh that is not good for me that is not good for me oh god this is bad this is really bad this is not a bad oh geez cyril's just back in play yeah right okay so how do we break into these seems like they're the only two that remain i don't know if there's an easy way to break through but it seems that i don't have much choice but to capture this one over here unless the whole point of eureka is just to keep mercedes out of harm's way what am i going to bring her down only for eureka to become a hostile wait eureka's technically allied with me that's not what i expected all right i should stop burning agni as arrow i'm gonna need this all right she's down i did all that i could i guess i wasn't up to the challenge after all it was not worth risking your life [Music] they really don't want you killing anyone it is the best way to keep you safe look i don't know if that would be enough [Music] hope flames all right flames open the gates now it is my turn there is nothing i cannot let's try this all right go get him all right claude keep on the flyers lawrence make a move all righty i loathe fighting but this is my duty come then capturing now let us bring it down all right this won't be super effective against you but it'll still do some damage which is all i really need at this point how have you not lost your stun gauge yet there we go all right that should knock you down to defeat mode and that actually killed you great lady raya i'm sorry i couldn't help well my turn [Music] that was a main mission too huh yeah i had a feeling [Music] yeah that was always gonna be a main mission [Music] all righty carry on all right lay into them [Music] that's not a yeah they're not going to let seth and flame die that easily it looks like said it's opened up too not a problem all right gerald isn't effective against too many people but maybe there'll be some new unique dialogue if he goes after senate reckless violence defiles the goddess shut up ramp we need another introduction first coatland needs the archbishop anyone who does not understand that must be eliminated there is no salvation for them guardians of the holy tomb come forth wait what judgment oh i do not like the sound of that [Music] phantom soldiers what controlling them and it looks like they're not easily within reach right now let's see what are we up against the grimmery ah who would be best to deal with that claude do you have advantage against no you don't it's the other way around all right laurence you start making a move there actually i'm curious i shall use my powers to heal them [Music] i wonder initiative you'll get any interesting dialogue this way this should be a fuse oh great now fellaini is providing ranged healing not a problem that's going to complicate things she'll appeal the enemy we've captured most of the strongholds on one side the federation army has this on the back do we have any hope of winning this nothing all right that should not set it most of the way down [Music] hilda maybe i should have had you be the one maybe i should have had you up front once you take the stronghold you need to disable that device i don't know how but i'm sure you'll figure something out oh hey of course a convenience switch all right now that that's opened up we still can't get in there yet all right said it has to go down then there are fewer of those soldiers now they're not completely gone they give me the creeps i see they found the devices but it matters not all right that cracks that open nice all right violet sink back up [Music] we've taken all the strongholds on the front line wait a minute chez will have better luck dealing with these guys send gerald's up to deal with this someone needs my time to shine continuing in this stage i must there we go how are we doing anyway oh yeah we don't have to worry about kos not given the current circumstances there's not a whole lot of enemies on your side that you can safely deal with we'll have to let lawrence rip into him a little let's see those two look like they're doing fine so i don't have to worry about that but we were struggling we took them all out of protection yeah she's gonna be forced to go full immaculate one that's probably gonna be the final boss there we go [Music] nice it's probably a bila yep there's still room for improvement good i wonder what language that woman's singing well the vocalist is singing if they defeat us and the central church collapses many people will lose their spiritual foundation that would be terrible i will fight alongside you my brother now we have to fight them both man oh no why do i get the feeling i'm gonna have to kill them i don't want to kill them don't let me don't make me kill but please don't make me kill it oh she's taking the field of serosa oh great where could magic of this magnitude be coming from are you witnessing the archbishop's power she's not fooling around here we go everyone don't let the enemy push us back the without fear people do horrible things when their faith becomes tainted with fear [Music] then let loose [Music] i'm on it ah it looks like a one any passage i need to take you out we are in serious peril everyone now providing some initiating our forces have reunited thanks to the strength of my efforts truly i am more officially in our actual team you do realize the actual king is standing right here but if you want the job so badly i'll happily let you take over later wait what you will find i am not get up probably not giving as much commentary as i should but well if i'm engrossed in the moment i guess it's doing something right good work not a problem okay so we've got that wyvern over there we've got soldiers over there that need to be given a good walloping too lawrence is in trouble oh yeah looking at that hey you up taking a lot of damage looking at that what is gonna happen in this battle that would cause it to cause s-rank to be oh yeah i forgot you can dismount can't you not that i've ever needed to rely on that but still someone need the blade my time all right looks like you're not getting it get any special dialogue for that sorry said it you got it you really need to learn when to stop but i don't think i can't stop you without killing you but you shall not overpower me actually now that i think it is all right knockout said it first retreat please set it i don't want to kill you okay yeah you've retreated good [Music] i had to stop this [Music] all right i need to send someone to help deal with flame let's see gerald go help him out let's see how it goes and then in the meantime we can send claude to deal with this actually sheds might have a better might have better luck [Music] oh jeez i'm glad you're out you're special well you're unique all right here goes nothing this will probably be enough to knock the flame down to zero it looks like she's taking the retreat pose goodbye i cannot allow flame to perish [Music] are you sure that's wise and it looks like saros is taking to the field now huh this is our final opportunity to pass judgment on the enemy if you can yet move follow me here we go wait what was the exact text online okay my turn almost there almost there [Music] actually send geralt up ahead i'm on it curious to see if there'll be any interesting dialogue down you go or maybe i'll just miss entirely excellent they were fiercely changed we should have an easier time bring it down [Music] it was on a battlefield just like 300 years i mean i would have expected a cut hundred or two but federation that was built without the goddess 300 i was not expecting that old what how are you still you know what you are [Music] i think you know exactly what she's talking about all right this won't take her out it should have hurt right then we can throw the rest out of and see what other dialogue she has if any all right all not offensive this is my turn on the goddesses face judgment all right great and now she's even more dangerous you okay to keep going of course and after we win this battle you're gonna show me the new world you're creating salvation is far beyond you all i care not who faces me they shall receive no mercy for the rest of eternity compared to what we faced in the red canyon such an don't get the wrong idea my power's got nothing to do with this i'm standing here of my own free will [Music] this will probably be a finishing blow unless you go immaculate one gotta stay on guard oh no she's about to go full immaculate one oh no oh no it's time to finish this rhea are you sure you don't want to just walk away it's not too late i did not go looking for this fight but you will not see me run from it you have spilled much blood during this war the empire started i'm not here to talk about who started this war i'm gonna end this that's what's important now this world cries out for change while you keep it shackled to the past and it's up to us to help set it free i'm ready if you are for all of foldlin i will crush you where you stand yep well color me surprised rey is really the immaculate one whatever she is we have to end her now quit staring before she crushes you let's see how dangerous this part is [Music] all right all out offensive let's get [Music] we're going them be here a while that's where the heroes relic too man we're in trouble worse yet i don't have someone with an axe in place so we're just gonna have to whittle it down after a bit actually let's go ahead and whittle it down once since i know that that's going to be a problem oh hey cool mega man welcome to the show this probably makes no sense if you're not familiar with fire emblem but here you are anyway glad to have you all right that's one bar down no problem no it's no she's not down that's the problem i'm getting pretty hungry but i can hold out we got a feast waiting for us after we win are we looking oh yeah we have no need to concern ourselves with damage taken all right bam my turn all right lay into the intro with dark spikes we dealt with our fair share of surprises our king is really something else this is far from the end is everybody gonna have running commentary now almost there bam all right it looks like finish this everyone let me your strength if there is okay get away get away get away i'm for me oh that does actually do counterstark magic oh it seems like i'm just doing damage anyway because of the awakening meter yeah you're not hurting me actually yeah actually it might just be affecting dark magic specifically because of the power i've got right now that's probably it oh now you give me a level up really dude it's over [Music] jeez your ring comes to an end here and now did you just hit her press stone our work here isn't over not by a long shot [Music] got plenty of road ahead but we've taken the first step together so it ends it is now 1183 blue sea moon the federation has joined with the empire to invade the holy kingdom of fargus [Music] claude sought not to conquer the kingdom but to destroy the central church after archbishop reyes defeat the church has lost much of its martial prowess [Music] and there's probably all sorts of questions given reyes nature tensions continue between the empire and kingdom having now reached his goal claude proposes an end to the war yet it remains uncertain if either side will accept [Music] i guess i'll have to see the other side of that to get a prop full answer huh we've got a ways to go then still should be a fun time though this was any indication no dialogue yes not there we are i don't know if any of those resources will do me any good but either way there we frickin are it is done blast it is done so let's catch up on chat while this scrolls all right and see speaking of religion temples and all that jazz i like it when in fantasy their aesthetics well atheistic antitheistic or agnostic characters especially when exists being deities are actually a thing in the setting for example in dnd there are exists fashion of a thar if don't think the gods are well the gods they see them as just powerful beings and believe in the great unknown this vague divine force that according to them is the real deal oh the authority people also get divine spells like normal greece and on top of that abilities that are unable to negate other divine magics so they have physical proof of their beliefs like other religions well by the sounds of it that's not necessarily a that sounds like it's more of a different kind of religion instead of well instead of just straight up not well atheistic although i guess it depends on the nature of their quote unquote god let's see it let's see there exit let's see in the and glorion the setting for pathfinders e20 real set game there exists agnostic people who don't deny the existence of gods but simply they are well agnostic and don't see divine magic and generally don't divine intervention is real divinity because like real life agnostic they don't think human mortals have the ability to truly define and comprehend what divinity actually is well i'll have to check out the pathfinder setting at one point i do know that there are some interesting games in play related to the pathfinder setting so i suspect that i'll get to see some of that before too long but all the same it should be interesting to see how it all plays out either way here we are at the end that was well that was fire emblem warriors three hopes golden wildfire very curious to see how things play out i'm gonna speed this up a little bit because it looks like they're throwing in a lot as far as yeah it looks like they're throwing in literally every single mission at least the first attempt that i make at every single mission so if i didn't hold down the button we'd be here for a while although you can definitely tell that i use sheds in most of these missions you can definitely tell that i used them on most of these missions but it is nice to look back though if only asked out of morbid curiosity [Music] oh man that was a lot what time is it oh wow actually earlier than i expected to be done with it then again it was only one battle and there i've typically been starting these out by doing support conversations and then overloading with well then doing the battle and then throwing a bunch of stuff in behind it so i guess i shouldn't be surprised that it did wrap up so quickly still here we are lawrence did end up the mvp funny how that works our task may be unfinished but we've made quite the dent and that's something to celebrate i can't count the number of times you pulled me out of the fire or just listen patiently as i complained about one annoying thing or the other so if i haven't properly said it before i want to say it now thank you thank you for everything the future is always a blank page but i hope you'll stick around to help me write it what do you say [Music] i guess so i guess in that case the merck whistle is the one who i guess the merc whistle then determines who gets the what what letter you get then huh okay fair enough huh be very so are there any paired endings or anything like that guess not all righty then i suppose it is technically over how not at least for this route although interesting that they don't really give much of a look at what the game what ends up [Music] although i'm very curious though as to how things are going to play out though because there's a lot that isn't necessarily discussed in the different routes that [Music] i don't know how things gonna play out because the problem is that the route only really gives us insight into what's going on with a particular faction usually and we only get little brief glimpses into the others so i'm just trying to think of at this point what all more i'm trying to think of how the story is going to play out in the other two routes because there's got to be some difference in how things play out as a result of shaz being a part of the kingdom or imperial armies but at the same time what kind of influence will that have and will it lead to significant deviations from what's already here because based on what i'm based on when i see in the support log based on everything that can be found there my suspicion is that a lot of what is going to be shown is just going to be a different perspective on the same events and that's not necessarily a bad thing but i'll be curious to see what is different because i do know that there are well i do know that you have to deal while fight slash recruit or kill geraldton by left at all three of the routes and i know that it happens in a different chapter there but i'm curious to see what kind of events play out i mean with golden wildfire you get pulled in pretty much every direction it feels like you've got an attempt to go into you have to defend against the empire initially then you get pulled into all sorts of nonsense with respect to well you get pulled into oh it's not treehouse doing the localization this time interesting so anyway [Music] getting back on topic bumps the same that's the same vocal direction though so that makes sense either way getting back on topics so what was i talking about so you've got golden wildfire being well the alliance being pulled in literally every direction imaginable because first you have attempts at causing all kinds of havoc well just defending your home then you've got attempting to make habit in the empire before elmira pulls you away then you have attempts to cause havoc in the kingdom before those who slither in the dark pull you off the trail and yet there's still a lot even after seeing to all this that remains unresolved because how things turn out with the empire in the kingdom could have a significant sway over what ends up happening to the alliance so it's really weird to me that they stopped at this point instead of going into more detail as to how all three factions end up just if only to say okay here is what happened with the alliance specifically the fact that there isn't a whole lot of detail spent on that is strange to me so because i had seen i think a thumbnail claiming that the game seemed pretty good by theirs by the standards of youtube video i i only saw the thumbnail so i don't know too much about what was said or who was saying it but i think the thumbnail said that it's a game that felt incomplete and since that it's someone who wouldn't be as he's slowed down for lack of a better word by the by lack of a better well for lack of a better phrase by the fact that you're streaming it because i suspect that by now there are people who will have gone through this game in all three of the routes so there's undoubtedly plenty of information out there as to how things play out and how everything is supposed to fit together but i am still very surprised at the fact that there's very little talk about the how following turns out as a result of the exact choices that are made here [Music] because does claude stay on as the kingdom of the federation does the do the kingdom and empire still exist in some form what's elmira's status and all this and yet now you're just gonna put a finito on it and call it a day so i don't know how to make of this it seems like there should be more going on with this renowned exchange instantly capture a region unlocked maddening oh there's a maddening mode okay if you select the finished play through using the continue option you'll start just before the final battle okay in that case i'll go ahead and i guess i'll let this be the new game plus data [Music] okay huh they added fail not to the screen because i know people were making a big deal about the fact that the two swords were crossed before you recruit bioleth so huh they added they added fail not to the screen now so mulling over all of that i'm very curious to see how things will play out [Music] so we've got clear data there that i can presumably use i guess let's check real quick yeah i think i will do a new game plus for the next round so we'll see how that plays out let's see perhaps that was exactly the point you have to play through the rest of the pads and from those game partial information you get the full picture of what happened well that's what's interesting though is that three houses did a similar thing where there was a lot that wasn't told in the moment where because i had started with the blue lions route within three houses and as a result i got a very focused story on the problems that dimitri specifically was facing where you spent a lot of time over the course of literal years just understanding this character understanding vargas as a nation and then over the course of that going on a really compelling character arc unfortunately the linchpin's supporting structure isn't great and that's something that i'll be using as an example in my review of this game just to explain how i'm gonna be critiquing it but as a result of that well there was a lot that wasn't told during that route you learn nothing about the shadowy figures those who slither in the dark and during that round you get very little insight into claude or edelgard's perspective you're just suddenly edelgard is on the attack and you just gotta deal with it and there's also all of this other stuff that they very slowly drip feed about how demetri and edelgard know each other and what they think of each other and because of that it definitely has it's definitely a matter of different routes and that's partially why they feel like more complete stories in three houses but the thing is that the three houses narrative is a complete narrative and especially with some of the conversations that they added in the dlc where they actually account for those who slither in the dark with the introduction of the ashen wolves as dlc they were able to say hang on happy has this backstory and as a result of knowing dimitri's mother-in-law which they can then introduce this aspect to ensure that yes those who slither in the dark aren't accounted for in the blue lines route as well even if it's not the primary or main focus so the thing is this time though it's not a complete tale we don't know how what the resolution but the simple fact that we just don't know what the resolution is and i think that's what's annoying about it because on one hand technically i have seen to a resolution of sorts by failing rhea but at the same time there is still a lot of unknowns unknowns that did not exist at the end of three houses which is frustrating so uh i don't know about this i it's gonna take me a long time to process this and i'm hoping that i'll get some solid resolutions as we go forward with new game plus as we learn more about the circumstances and as we press on ahead that is my hope whether that'll end up happening or not that remains to be seen because what i would hope for is once that i've finished all three routes that we do actually get to see in some form how everything plays out whether that ends up happening or not i guess time will tell unfortunately it's going to be literal months for me because i'll be avoiding spoilers and at the rate that it took me to finish this one i mean the game came out what end of june and it's already the end of july and this was despite doing oh and if i'm doing a chapter a week and to be fair i wasn't just doing a chapter a week last time but even with a chapter a week if and if you don't treat the two extra chapters that you get when you recruit bilith so you get 11 chapters it's gonna be tough to fit that all in unless i straight up drop xenoblade which i'm not willing to do right now although maybe once i'm finished with metroid dread maybe i can reclaim multiple spots or find spare time here and there it's not as if i'm in a mad rush to finish my torchlight 2 retrospectives since that i've got finished most of the audio editing for that and can chip away at the video portion over the course of the next few weeks leading up to that leading up to that game's 10-year anniversary but i don't know it's the same it's the same bittersweet feeling that i had at the end of the blue lines route where there was a lot that well there were and there was there was a lot of questions especially given that after the time skip in the blue lines route raya literally does not show up on screen again so there was a lot of a lot of unanswered questions about violet's nature a lot of unanswered questions about those who slither in the dark all of that dynamic but it was a complete narrative there was an end point there was a future that we could see but that doesn't exist here why doesn't it exist here i mean theoretically we don't necessarily need it but at the same time if you're well i guess what was the expectation for i'm gonna kill the music real quick just so i can keep focusing so i'm trying to think of what exactly the developers were aiming for because the path that they have set up is not going to be the same path that led to the end of three houses the way the three houses always ends up is that you are always consistently at a point where one of the three leaders is well in most of them there is a major leader at the end of fodland who is effectively uniting fodlin that all of these disparate elements come together around something whether it be edelgard's vision of the future whether it be dimitri regaining his footing whether it be claude's ideal whether it be none of them and yet this time i don't see that future happening in this iteration not without another game's worth of content you would have to make a follow-up to this game to properly explain and to really flesh out all of this unless there is something tucked away within upcoming dlc which screw you if that's the case come on make a complete game then sell me dlc you morons or i don't know this leaves a very bittersweet taste in my mouth because on one hand from a gameplay standpoint it's actually pretty decent i did enjoy the gameplay aspect and that might just be from finally getting a feel for how warriors games work after trying fire emblem warriors while waiting for three houses after spending a little bit of time with hyrule warriors just on a whim after really enjoying age of calamity to be fair i ended up liking the gameplay of that more than the story aspect with how it ended up playing out but this time i don't know what to make of it i don't know what to make of it i'm hopeful that we will get further answers as we go further along i'm hopeful that we'll actually get to explore this but as it exists right now it feels incomplete and it incomplete in a way the three houses did it because with three houses since that it was just its game i could act with i could play it with confidence that it's self-contained that i pick around there will be a complete story that does not seem to be the case here and that worries me that did you actually complete the story did you think about where everybody is going to be after this is it going to there's a lot of unknowns there is there are a lot of unknowns and i'm really worried about how that's going to work out all the same i suppose time will tell i suppose time will tell so with that in mind i suppose that's where we will end the stream because i'm probably gonna go well i'll be going through new game plus on my own up to the point where we ended the black eagle run last time when we were playing the demo which was right as we were starting chapter four so i'll be playing up to that point i'll be switching up i think i chose female chefs for that playthrough so that'll be a small change there so we'll i don't expect that to have any substantial story differences but we'll see how it turns out so that's how we'll play that so i don't know when i'll be able to jump into this next but well i know it'll at least be thursday because i don't anticipate be there being any craziness going into august but i guess we'll see i guess we will see so either way that was golden wildfire bittersweet ending i'm very curious to see what the other routes will do so in that case if i have time to play it on sunday i probably will if not we will jump in on thursday so let's chat up to anything silly why does wait elbow cough wait is that your name for bail not what who are you referring to there unless you mean just the symbols here but although there's probably plenty of stuff that we haven't fully seen yet but i don't know we'll have to see how it plays out i guess so either way i've been rambling enough i don't know maybe i'll clip this part out yeah maybe i will actually because this is the same thing that happened with three houses where i ended up just rambling for a long time about the game and to be fair i had reason to ramble there was a lot of interesting stuff to discuss and that three houses was a two month long obsession where i just played nothing but the world could have ended and i wouldn't have even noticed and then i spent another six months making the long-winded review of it so maybe i was just hoping for something similar here but then again since i already know the characters since i already know the setting i suppose that i should have expected it to not be quite the same still i suppose time will tell as to how it all plays out so for now that's where we'll call it so if i'm able to jump in sunday we'll jump in then otherwise i'll see you thursday and as for the usual stream schedule xenoblade on wednesday metroid dread on sunday as per usual so hopefully it'll be more interesting with the black eagle route we'll be ending with my boys in blue so at the very least i'll have a fun time with the characters so all the same it is at least nice to see the characters being themselves even if the plotline itself feels unfinished at least the characters are still being themselves that at least seems intact even with some of the more questionable aspects with claude's characterization in this round but i guess we'll see either way that'll be it thank you all for sticking around i appreciate you being here and i will see you next time for when we jump into the black eagle route
