Chapter 6, "Victims of War," FE8.
No, it's not the most boring, most difficult, most sadistic, or most WTF level I've ever played. But it occupies a special place of loathing in my heart.
A) Monster battle. Don't like.
B) With Fog of War. Don't like.
C) Three NPCs to save from the giant spider. Massive pain in the ass. Sorry, Neimi, I don't want that Orion Bolt that much after all.
And, just to push me over the edge...
D) After one lovely chapter of Ephraim and his posse, Chapter 6 dumped me back into the dull-dull-dull adventures of Squish Princess and That Paladin Guy. This was the occasion for great disappointment on my part. The prospect of a reunion with Ephraim was my primary reason for playing the game until Innes showed up to stay.
PS: Eirika's slip-up with the bracelet had not endeared her to me. At all. I think I tossed my DS Lite across the room onto the couch during that episode.
PPS: Cannot underestimate how much the Saleh supports made me re-evaluate Eirika as a character.
Thought about doing a WIP meme and decided to decrease the number of WIPs by one instead.
"Enhanced" was my first attempt at the "flying through the rainbow sky" challenge for FE contest. I got frustrated with it and wrote "Color of Devotion" instead.
The Seventh Platoon are kind of the Greil Mercs of Archanea-- wacky band camp hijinks with deadly weapons! Cecil gets into fights! Rody's seeeeerious! Ryan's timid! Luke's comic relief! And Chris has the personality of a damp cardboard box! Go team!
Actually, that's kind of unfair to the Greil Mercs. But I suspect that was the general idea with retconning the SNES characters into this "Seventh Platoon" outfit.
Anyway this 'fic is a bit of crack dealing with the game-breaking item known as the Rainbow Potion. Don't use drugs, kids.
PS: One of the edits I made was changing default male (Ike knockoff) Chris to default female (Mia knockoff) Chris, just because.
