Let's play Fire emblem Different dimensions Ostian princess

[Illven]

Alternative titles. A How to not hack 101.

Fire emblem the Necronomicon trials.


Hello guys, it's been a long time since I did a let's play. But now I'm back into the spirit of things. And eager to LP again.

We'll start with a short hack of Fire emblem different dimensions Ostian princess.

It's.... a hack...

The "story" is about Lilina's and Monke's (A random boss in FE 6) child. They got married for some reason. I'm not entirely sure why. And it will probably never be explained.

My commentary will include a mixture of Ic comments. Which will be in Blue. The IC character will play a straight man, which honestly isn't hard. A rabid weasel could play straight man to half of the cast. And OOC comments. [In Brackets] OOC comments will be things the plot train will end up derailing, changes I actually like, or don't like. Mostly the second one.

Well, without further adieu lets begin.

Spoiler: Prologue; Being protected by the ten year old. I've reached a new low.

Show

[Okay... Everything starts out normal.]



[Here we have our first change. The original title for this chapter was A girl from the plains. I'm impartial to this change.]



[The second change. The default name of the Tactician was changed from Mark to Mig. No big deal, but we're changing it. ]




[Ah... The first problem.]



[There isn't a No, there's a NO!! But there isn't a no. Yes I'm being difficult. But why change the default decision table for no reason. At least the Mig change was for author avatar-ness.]



[Oh well. Fixed forever.]



[ Yes. ]



[Now sit back, and let's get this party trainwreck started.]



I.... What....



Huh.... On the plains...



How.... did you.... carry me? You're like ten.
[Seriously.... How did she carry a grown adult?]



Uh... Yeah I'm Illven.



Screw you, you brat!



... Better.




I... I guess. I don't remember much honestly.



I didn't hear.



No! Ten year olds should not be investigating strange noises!



[And here we see a pirate and a soldier. This is in and of itself not a bad change.]



Crap! Okay, we need to get out of here. Lilian is there anything you absolutely need.
[Bern mountains to Bolm. Again, fine whatever. Although. Is any location called Bolm in Elibe.]



You! Are! Like! Ten!



... What?
"You'll be safe in here, Illven"
I'm not going to let you fight adults on your own.



[Don't roll your eyes missy, technically you can't either.]




Or, we could you know find adults.




I already gave it to you, you blatantly ignored it.



Being protected by the ten year old. I've reached a new low.








[A bunch of information no one cares about.]



[These stats are abysmal. Like physically painful abysmal. New head canon. Lilina may have married Monke, but she cheated on him with Roy.

This is the result.]



[The inventory is nice though.]



[I like the change of Anima magic to Nature magic. Side note. This description is missing 2 somethings. Something nice

and something very important.

The first is +7 max hp. Nice, it allows for unlimited staff xp if you keep on un-equipping it, re-equipping it, and then healing up to the increased max.

The second is Can attack consecutively. Yes to veterans of the series, it means what you think it means.

Our lord, starts off with a brave tome.

Furthermore. Bolt replaces Thunder. This means in the hypothetical mid to late game, shops will start selling brave anima tomes. That cost the same amount per use as thunder.

The part of me that loves mages, loves this change. The parts of me at all concerned with game balance hates this change.]



[We've got Lyn's bio.]



[And we're apparently leading a ******* magical girl.]



[And normal D rank Anima skill ]



[Our boss. With -- speed. What this means is, for whatever reason, his speed is currently a negative stat. Word of warning, if you suspend and resume the chapter, it tends to treat -- stats as 31.

For obvious reasons, a boss with 31 speed is bad. ]



Good job, Lilian! Next time, though try to hit twice!



So that, that doesn't happen.



Just apply this liberally to the wound, Lilian.



[A magical girl I think.]



That's.... not really intimidating... Maybe if you were a female, and you were a werewolf.



Good job Lilian.



Yeah... just one more....



.... What?
[Yeah. Lilian just doubled. She didn't on the player phase.... So.... What the hell, hack?]



[My thoughts exactly! Thank you Batta the Bitch!]



..... Should I be worried that a ten year old is this blase about electrocuting and burning people to death?




I am now.



Meanwhile you're used to killing others?



No I am not giving you the birds and the bees talk.



I suppose.....



You! Are! Ten!



As a start!



And social services doesn't exist I'm assuming.



[Didn't the lorca die out like 40 years ago at this point. The answer. Yes. Yes they did.]


Lilian "The tribe was scattered."

Lilian "Our people were"


Or the fact that you are ten! Just throwing that out there.



It's... it's fine....
[We should probably find the nearest orphanage.... You know, just in case.]



You know hearing a ten year old say that is really creepy.



... Wasn't really a compliment... But sure.




But your mother's death you had no problem with?




Isn't that usually how wizards get stronger?



I... suppose.




Lilina "We can do it, right?"
You're a mage. First off.




[What did I get myself into.]



[What fun would that be.]

[Acanous]

So when you get a mage with actually decent stats, game over?

[Hammerpriest]

I can't wait to see what all the other recruitable units have become. My bet? -- Dreams for days.

[ZeltArruin]

Incredible. I can't believe Hector's tribe of Sacaen's was wiped out!

[Deme]

Oh, boy. This is gonna be a riot.

[Fri]

I'm actually following this

[Sylthia]

So will Magical Girl promote into Witch?

[Gnomes2169]

Well. Time to settle in and watch the chaos, I suppose.

Also... SHE IS LIKE, TWELVE. AT MOST. WHAT?! WHO THOUGHT THIS WOULD BE A GOOD DESIGN?

[Narkis]

I remember playing the original. Been a while. Looking forward to seeing how this goes.

[Knaight]

Interesting choice of romhacks. I suspect I'll be coming out of this with significantly more respect for Dream of Five (which is legitimately good, but suffers from being compared to the actual games and not other hacks for me).

[Battleship789]

I am bracing for cringe!

At least it isn't GhebFe...

Quite possibly.

Let's find out together. (Really let's have you find out, because I already know.)

Incredible. I can't believe Hector's tribe of Sacaen's was wiped out!

This will be explained. Poorly, but explained.

Oh, boy. This is gonna be a riot.

It'll be something.

Yay. I hope you take at least half the sanity damage I will.

We'll find out, won't we.

I don't know Dream of five. But I'm sure you'll come away with significantly more respect for just about any hack in the world.

I am bracing for cringe!

At least it isn't GhebFe...

Honestly. This game isn't much better.

Spoiler: Chapter 1;Part 1 of 3. Child soldiers 101

Show

[It begins.]



Hmmm. What Lilian?



Huh. Interesting I could have sworn it was Bulgar.
[Illven's right. As always. Why the change? Who knows!]



Journey to where, precisely.



Please be talking about me. Please be talking about me. And not the ten year old.
[She's like ten, game! ]



Oh, you're like ten as well. Nevermind.
[Okay. It's Not-Nils. Better at least.]





Lilian. He's ten. He's not a knight.




[Another change. The knights aren't from Lycia. They're from Ostia.]



[But Lilian's still giving out the burns.]



You know... You're really well spoken for a ten year old.
[Has the hack met a ten year old before]



Yeah, yeah. But it's strange.




[Ah. Not Elbert. How lovely to meet you.]



[..... Zack... What a regal name... ]






[Have you even hit puberty? ]



[Probably alot, because you know knight apparently.]



Lilian there's no reason to be so annoyed.



[Truly an epic dialogue change.]





Where would you have met her before?




I don't think....




I'm really hoping Lycia isn't using child soldiers.




Zack "... ... Axel, you ******* idiot"
[How edgy]



[She's like ten!]




[An unsupervised child?]




What! From who!



One of them was 10! I hope he wasn't a knight.




[Hey Oswin! How are you doing!? Wait... How do you still look like you are in your 30's 40 years after the events of Blazing Sword. Good genetics? Fountain of Youth? Who knows!]



.... Please be talking about me. Please be talking about me, and not the ten year old girl.
[So Oswin is now a pedophile. Why this change was made? Who knows! Maybe the hacker didn't want us to feel bad about butchering Oswin?]



Nope! Must have the wrong girl sir. Have a nice day.





[You know. If she's Lilina's daughter. Doesn't that make her the queen of the throne, and thus shouldn't you be wanting to protect her.]




[Just transform into your true magical girl form, you'll be fine.]
Lilian "But I'll not give up!"
That's the spirit.





[I have the same reaction honestly.]





Yeah, true. It should not take 5 men to try and kill one girl.






Yes! Look to the adult. The adult that's not me!



You are ten!



And so are you!





****!!!!!!!!!!!
[You know ignoring the whole child soldier thing, shouldn't the marquess really have more then one bodyguard.]

And I think that's a perfect place to leave off. What will happen next time? Tune in to find out!

[Illven]

Side note about the bolt tome.

In addition to what I discussed earlier, it's also Anti-armor!

[Gnomes2169]

Hopefully at least one of them will have good stats!

...

No one will have good stats. Just give up hope now.

Time and war really changes a man. At least it's not Marcus. Lord only knows he's traded in his horse for a wheelchair if he's not dead by this point. Then you'd really feel conflicted.

...Well, you know. Sometimes stats transcend these things. And also the game engine's understanding of numbers. Frankly, I think merely "bad" stats would be honestly refreshing.

You may be right... however, I still hold no high expectations for this particular hack. Pedophile Oswin whyyyyyyy... You were the chosen one Oswin! You were supposed to restore my hope, not destroy it!

[Fri]

On contrary, I think that's the worst place to leave off!

Why did they use Oswin there? Is this Oswin's disappointing son, considering this is like 30-40 years later?

Two wars in fact. How did he not die in Fe 6, did he abandon Hector?

...Well, you know. Sometimes stats transcend these things. And also the game engine's understanding of numbers. Frankly, I think merely "bad" stats would be honestly refreshing.

Bad stats could be an interesting challenge. I'd still complain, but I wouldn't run an lp just to complain about bad states.

Spoiler: Chapter 1 part 2 of 3; WHAT HAS HUBRIS COST ME!

Show

You're rather willing to listen to me for a marquess.




Mostly because you won't listen to me.
Lilian "Let's go!"



Yes... Why?



You! Are! Ten! Why is every damn ten year old so blase about murder?









[More stuff no one cares about.]



[... Okay maybe a little on the low side... But nothing too broken.]



[Why is the ten year old a knight!?]



[Now see, this here is a change I like. Now Axel's can defend himself if need be unlike Nils and Ninian normally. Meanwhile his magic cap being so low means it can never really be a primary option.]



[Sure.... Let's just give the starting character divine, and an elixir.]



[The ten year old has a B rank in light magic. Seems legit.]



[Hmmm... Hmm. Let's do a little resume and restart.]



[What could possibly go wrong?]



[Ah perfect. 31 Def. While his constitution, which was also a dash is completely unchanged! And yes. That dash means Zack has an effective Con score of 0. He is weighed down by the lightest of weapons, and is incapable of carrying the smallest of girls.]



[Here we learn that our noble Marquess, is also a commander of a landlocked nation's first armada. Implying that they have several. This would be like if Queen Elizabeth was also the commander of Austria's first fleet.]



[This is missing a-lot of important info. Like the fact that peers can steal. Or that they have Assassinate. (Lethality in recent games), or can use lockpicks, or can use Wo dao's, or gain experience at a sky high rate. Or you know anything really. ]



[Getting a brave sword.... On chapter 1.... Okay...]



[And Zack starts off with a A rank in swords.]



[.... WHAT HAS HUBRIS COST ME!]



[The answer. Not much, because he may have a killer lance but he has no ranged weapons, so we'll use our three ranged units to take potshots at him till he dies!]



[Ironically, these guys are better equipped to kill Lilian, then the ones in Blazing sword trying to kill Lyn.]



[Also this guy has a hand-axe. And an elixir I forgot to steal!]



[Okay... So why is he after Uther's grandniece?]



Let's just murder them all, and let the gods sort it out.



[Lilian engages our first foe.]



You ******* failure!
[What Illven said]



Axel you can sing to Lilian instead.



[Potshot number 2]



[And Zack kills a dude!]



See Lilian! Zack got a crit. Impress me like he's doing.



[Zack softens up a dude for Lilian.



[Yes, in one kill, and one battle against lower level units, Zack has gone 2/3's up a level. As far as I can figure, there are calculations that determine how much xp you get. One of the biggest things in the calculation is class power. Most classes have a class power of 3, a few like thieves have 2.

Zack has 1. So while most units will get 10 xp for a battle with an equal leveled enemy. Zack will get 31! Isn't that amazing!]

[Side note, his defense fell to 20 for some reason.]



[Axel dances some more. In fact bards have a class power of 2. So Lilian might be the slowest and hardest to level unit that we have right now!]



[And Lilian misses!]



This wouldn't have happened if you didn't whiff the first time.



[You can dance if you want to!]



[Lillian doesn't whiff now though.]



[Yeah... No. ]



[He doubled if I used bolt, btw.]



Axel... Why can you carry a grown man as well? Did they put steroids in the baby formula?




[We form around the pedophile.]



Pro-tip. If you're a country's loyalest knight, you probably don't want to proclaim your loyalty, while you blatantly lust after children and try to kill them, it'll make your country look bad.




[Lilian misses a few times.]



[Yay! Enemy stats falling to 20!]



[We try to get Axel up to level 5]




[And Lilian a second level.]



... Better.




Sigh....



[And Zack kills Oswin. And children were safe forever. The end.]




[You know. Just a side tip, murdering your bosses grandchild tends to be frowned upon in most circles.]



You ******* failures!

And that seems like another good place to leave it at!

As I said. Transcending things like "Good" or "Bad," into the radiant realm of "A gigantic mess, what is wrong with this hack."

Alas, poor Oswin. We knew him, Illven, a fellow of infinite tank, of most excellent clinking of the enemy weapon against him noises.
One day, we must all have our characters butchered by romhacks face our ends.

[Narkis]

The hack's creator has certainly made some... interesting choices.

[Gnomes2169]

Oh hey, my abject despair was well placed. Bonus.

[Starbuck_II]

Interesting they have a cap of 20 though originally defense/speed respectively were undefined. He had a defense of 31 uncapped, but when he battled he reached the cap of 20... how does that work?

[Hammerpriest]

The game calculates your stats after every combat in order to properly display hp numbers. While the game's calculations fail on an --, resetting underflows back to a 31, the highest number the game can display, 11 higher than the unpromoted cap. After a single combat, the game does its best to re-calculate stats and sees that the stat is above the cap so it just sets it back there.

[Sylthia]

If Oswin didn't age, why wasn't he in Binding Blade?

I wonder how many other character assassinations are left.

Zack "with a nomad some 19 years ago."

WHY ISN'T UTHER MARQUESS THEN!? He's the older brother, he should inherit first. Why is Lilian even relevant?]



[Along with Ostia's lack of a normal system of inheritance apparently.]






Change your appearance. That's the first thing I'd do.





Yup. Yup. I'm sorry. I should probably uh leave your highness. I uh fear I'm unworthy to work for your royal blood. So I should leave you... with uh, your adult peer. And get going.



Nope. Nope. I'm pretty sure I clearly stated my intentions.

Is there a bounty? Maybe killing them and collecting the money is a option that should be considered.
Beats putting the murderous, remorseless eleven year old on the throne...

I'm definitely curious where this goes.
I mean it can only get worse from there.
