Super Hard Lyn Mode: Episode 1: Prologue and Chapter 1: The Zaniness Begins

What, were you expecting a custom title screen or something?

I'd tell you that my birthday is actually in May, but then I'd have to kill you.

UNEDITED CHAPTER TITLES! HURRAH!

e3lCxdL.png

Oh, and all the text is just unedited FE7. Like, not even a find-replace. It's ALL THE SAME. As such, I'll be skipping just about all of it.

Okay, looks norm OH CRAP LYN'S A MAGE, OSTIAN PRINCESS FLASHBACKS

Oh hey, I have a commander symbol thingy now! I think that's actually new!

MY FACE

MY FACE IS MELTING FROM THESE TERRIBLE STATS

Honestly, this and a lot of other things that happen later on make me think that this may have been intended to be a DEFLATION hack, although of course it doesn't really work. There is some good news however: Her fire tome has non-standard stats. You can work them out with some math(I must have misplaced my screenshot), but at least she'll have SOME offense in earlygame.

wuJBA7K.png

Hey, some options are missing...

4l8K983.png

OH NO

THE TUTORIALS AREN'T REMOVED

WHY

Okay, this one actually ISN'T Marky's fault. You see, this hack was MEANT to be played on Lyn Hard Mode(not sure if this will cause bugs later...), but the ROM I've been using has been bugged, and it never shows me the mode select screen, always defaulting to Lyn's normal mode and then Eliwood normal mode. I've never actually played vanilla FE7 hector hard mode because I'm too lazy to go find a working ROM.

Still, we're just going to have to deal with it for now, and hope nothing breaks horribly.

The game makes it LOOK like I can attack from 2 spaces away and avoid a counter, but it won't let me move anywhere but adjacent tiles. THESE ARE THE WORST TUTORIALS EVER

4vjJJV1.png

Uh oh, this isn't looking good...

ytdcUiP.pngIMtbGaW.png

But then, Lyn goes against the laws of FE and doubles, with the power of TUTORIAL RIGGING! The game's "help" will actually make things a bit easier in the first few chapters, when it isn't being impossibly annoying.

PAIN

YI4AB8q.png

I don't know about that, we only won with the game helping us cheat!

0fCShiY.pngFR15E0G.png

I'm forced to use a vulnerary, and then forced to attack Batta at 1 range. SUCH DIVERSE GAMEPLAY

znFel3k.png

You know, Lyn's palette is actually surprisingly good.

ZDi72F6.pngZJJ7T6H.png

I think Lyn may have done a cheaty crit finish. Not sure.

Zf1LoYB.png

I forget, is the rigged level supposed to look like this? Either way, she needs magic.

l8z1DdS.png

I NEED MORE CHOICES

Maybe I'll find them in the next chapter.

Sain and Kent: Roadblocking since 2001

W7Fr53H.png

THE TERRIBLENESS IS CATCHING UP WITH US

8kVOG5s.png

Yes! Say, Sain, can you tell me about that green person hanging out up there?

No? Okay then.

R4V7vzO.pngznwenbn.png

Sain and Kent have actual stats, maybe modified, maybe not, I don't know. Either way though, they're hitting a stat the enemies actually have(that is to say, defense), but their offense is still better than Lyn's.

WLi9kjo.png

And this lady...well, don't be fooled by the HP.

SFO4KV9.png1yOiiy9.pngNFAkVvM.png

She WILL steamroll everything. I have NO idea what her deal is, and while I would LIKE to have one of the cavs rescue her and prevent her from stealing XP, the tutorials will take that ability away from me, so she's gonna get some action.

SXnhEKo.png

The bandits stats have actually been NERFED(their RES was buffed, though). Except for DAT CON

qDXc2zo.png

Zugu has ordinary stats, crazy HP, insane weapons(but no 2-range option) and a droppable thunder, which WOULD be useful if it weren't for the fact that Lyn needs a D to use the thing, which we won't be getting for a few chapters.

DIEV4XD.pngxnSXdON.png

It's not your fault Sain, it's the fault of the weapon triangle!

x80q0LF.png

FREE THING

Lyn once again can't double...

l89qJop.png

OR CAN SHE

Seriously, the ability of the game to rig battles is stronger than I thought. In several of Kent's combat engagements he could double the enemy, but he didn't double in battle because of these STUPID TUTORIALS

WHAT IS THE GAME TRYING TO TEACH ME

THAT MY TACTICS DON'T MATTER, JUST MY RNG

51fxrP5.png

Oh, what? The turn should automatically end!

Yeah, you need to end your turn manually in this chapter. Believe it or not, there's actually a "good" reason, and I could have showed it off if I knew what it was while recording this chapter, but I didn't, so you'll have to wait until this "bug" crops up again.

fPM6yB9.png

Here comes the citizen, here to steal our XP...

YOC8pgT.pngzskyYMV.png

This tutorial is even more BS-y, Sain totally should have landed that.

abL9hNA.png

BLAH BLAH BLAH, PLEASE STOP RAILROADING ME

ttrjgko.png

Meanwhile, the citizen is STEALING ALL THE XP.

3z4bxRO.png

*eye twitches*

a8sZQ8s.png

Can't...rescue...

RJFaXUM.png

SHE'S GONNA KILL THE BOSS, I GOTTA DO SOMETHING

5yWObQj.png

Lyn lures out that bandit across the bridge...

qV6Ps5R.png

And the citizen is distracted!

nvah7XQ.png

And then we do this!

4wBPmeC.png

This is the part where I notice the insane HP. And he has an Elixir, too!

HqEmnww.png

Yeah, you pretty much HAVE to use Lyn.

Uud5B1K.png

I THOUGHT he was going to use the elixir here, but he didn't for some reason.

0HbDx7n.png

After another chip, Lyn gains more magic!

lG1PLUX.png

And Kent finishes!

uXUphzI.png

And gains a terrible level!

I'm not sure if Marky actually changed growths.

Thank you!

Hmm...

NEXT TIME: The Mani Katti's secret power! Try to guess what it is!
