...Oh boy, Anima Zero the Mod Destroyer (seriously amused my title hasn't been changed to Mod Destroyer at this point) wants to tackle another hardtype, heh.

This one is a first for me as it's a japanese hack. It's pretty easy to play though if you go by what the icons are (and a little Google Translate powers on the wiki help too).

Going to be played through on Hard Mode with me going on Hector's route at the critical point of selection after chapter 10.

For now, a couple videos where, despite it just being the beginner chapters, the hack expects you to know how to play well. Having a main character that can die in as few as two hits if you're careless does that.

Today's videos continue through the non-tutorial land that is Lyn Hard Mode. Chapter 4 requires me to play a bit differently in order to kill the boss in time and nab his Dragonshield. This will not be the last time I have to kill a boss before a time limit is up to get a stat booster of some kind I assure you.

Today's videos introduce a total of six new units spread over three chapters. One is useless as hell (Erk), the other has a stupidly fucking low hp growth (Serra), the rest are all useful in one way or another.

Hell, one of those four units is a brand new character for this hack, replacing Lucius. Considering his primary weapon choice is spears, I am 100% fine with that. Captain Rex would be fine with that too for the record.

Hector. Motherfucking. Hard Mode.

You know something's LOVELY when I have to boss abuse on Hector's SECOND chapter so 2/3rds of my team is not useless as fuck.

This is pretty much as Anima Mode as a hack can get right now, that's for damn sure.

More Hector Hard Mode, more of Katt kicking ass, taking names, and getting good levels, and Captain R...oh wait, Captain Milia the axe woman of badassery joining the army!

Tonight's videos...more of the same really. That damned Pirate Ship was a nightmare, that's for sure.

Also, Milia's first level up during chapter 19. Yeah, her growths are amazing, but still, a 6 stat level up is a great way to kick off your leveling career.

Today's videos explore some sidequest zones for more loot, siege tome powers for Canas, and Meredia going from "weaksauce" to "Captain Rex, but on a badass wyvern" in the span of one chapter!

More walling off enemy hordes, Legault finally joining and kicking Matthew's ass stat-wise (And Legault getting more badass as the videos progress!), and Bartre going solo to save the rest of the team from a death by an overload of flyers in today's trio of videos!

One chapter. Three videos. Anima risking a frail dancer's life in order to get loot. That's what happening in today's videos!

Probably not a surprise to anyone involved, but I'm done playing this hack. In all honesty, I should have stopped all the way back in chapter 12 with the crap there that I had to bother with.

It's just getting tiring basically having to do the same dull strategy of "wall off at the start, wait for shit to die down, go own the map".

Note to the hack: Balance your goddamn mod better. HHM is so stupid with its difficulty.

Anyways, I think I've got just the game to play to relax to and do videos of so stay tuned for that!

EDIT: Oh for the love of god I think I'm going insane. I may pick this back up after I'm done with Breath of Fire because I literally just recorded something for this hack again.

Somehow I think I enjoy the suffering, haha.

Oh god I really am insane :wallbash:

.

Yes, this playthrough is 100% back on now. There's a couple videos showing off the pickup of a couple damn useful items that I couldn't get before due to bullshit and all that, then the actual playthrough continues with the army fighting through a bunch of magic aligned enemies.

Today's chapter has a few highlights, namely...

A. So many goddamn flyers! A shame that Wyvern Lord with two reaver weapons got blown up by Canas before he could do anything.

B. Free items for the war chest thanks to recruiting Geitz.

C. Katt gets a promotion item. I do believe the enemies are about to learn the meaning of fear from her, especially when she gets some levels under her belt.

I always love the critical animations this game have. That desert battle, my god that mage was surrounded but she stood her ground on that fort. Glad she didnt move off of it or it would been over. Dorcas and Barte clearly the MVP in my eyes right now. Bows and Axes.

Damn straight. Dorcas & Bartre are the two guys that have really made several chapters much more bearable to complete. Bows to shoot down flyers with axes to deal with close range threats. A very solid combination!

Anyways, here's the next chapter. Not quite as challenging as the last chapter, but there's still a couple spots that are a little nasty.

Oh yeah, and my excellent strategic plans nearing getting someone killed by the boss. Brave weapons + being able to get doubled = Getting quadrupled and almost losing, yay!

Also, Katt is now FE7if's Captain Rex. Anyone saying otherwise is a dingbat ;D.

Today's videos are basically karma for the relatively easy chapter last time. Flyers are assholes, plain and simple.

ESPECIALLY this dingbat!

Oh yeah, Lyn & Eliwood get to not suck anymore, yay! Also I get Alice for real this time. Broken doesn't even begin to describe what she'll be capable of later on.

Today's videos take the army to a snowy base where doors must be opened to get a certain character to appear, Karla. Yeah, her brother takes her place in the chapter she usually appears in (Hector's route, chapter 31x).

Karla...if you thought Lyn was a crit machine, you haven't seen nothing yet. Base 81 crit with her starting equipped weapon :w00t:
