The Unimaginatively-Titled: Introduction

Well, if you've been looking at the liveblog section recently, you've probably noticed a surplus of Fire Emblem blogging taking place. Presumably you chose this one to take a look at, or you're one of my friendly competitors. If you belong to the latter group, feel free to skip the rest of this section.

A major caveat: As the fifth person to make a liveblog of his exploits, and considering the limitations of a draft run, I'm not planning on going into any (well, maybe a little) detail on the storyline, characters, or mechanics of Fire Emblem in general or Blazing Sword in specific (despite how much I love this game), so here's some recommendations you might try:

If you've never played the series or this particular game, the LP I shamelessly stole the title of for this blog is pretty good: Tanto's Let's Play Fire Emblem! There's another completed one on the same forum of the previous game, Sword of Seals, which takes place in the same universe, and an in-progress one of the next, Sacred Stones, which is a standalone.

If you know the gist of what's going on in Elibe but haven't fully explored the story, Barrylocke, the guy who started this, is running through Hector Mode for the first time to kill two birds with one stone. Seven Characters? Amazing Axes? A First time for Everything?! Barrylocke Drafts Fire Emblem: Blazing Sword He's also got links to the rules we're using.

Finally, if you just want to know who's doing the best, that would currently be Jonnas N. Ein Draft von Feuer Emblem. Jonnas is also playing in German to brush up on his language skills, which obviously makes everything infinitely more cool.

I liked the teamwork in that fight! Lyn vaulting over Farina's Pegasus, and then scaring Ursula off her horse before finishing her was interesting to read, and the exploding stained-glass windows was a nice touch!

"In time, could even the innocent prince of Bern be twisted as dark and ruthless as this man Jaffar? Something to ponder..."

I think that line was a bit thick on the foreshadowing, tbh. I did like the Farina+Lyn High-Five though!

Probably overkill, yeah. It was honestly something that struck me this time around though.

Also, I know I'm taking forever to get up the next installment, sorry about that to anyone else who's reading.

Also had Hector and Zephiel talk for the fun of it.

Oh, ha ha. It's funny because Zephiel is gonna kill Hector in the future.
