In the first two routes, this is the mission where the city is under siege by petrifying monsters and you have to rescue them (Lance included). Since this is playing out differently, there are different monsters here. Sadly, as a result of that, we are not able to rescue all of the villagers as you can see even Ledin moving at full speed can't get there before the monsters kill them. Otherwise, this is a fairly normal mission, setting us up for the one to come next. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GEYfg1awcwE
The games continue, this time with me taking Vanish. It is a little difficult to classify her as she has elements from several different heroes. I am partial to compare her to Knyfe due to her energy weapons, but she also takes multiple turns and some things out of turn order, making her somewhat unique. She is pretty high in terms of utility, and definitely one of my preferred Cauldron heroes.
I don't know too much about Impact to properly comment.
Cypher is a support type who augments his allies than plays one-shots that will either give them out of turn actiosn, or he rearranges the augments on the fly to adapt to the situation. This particular variant doesn't really have any damage to go with it, so he is more here to help support Vanish and Impact.
As for Tiamat, it a strange and simple beast. We get stuff for popping scales, and it has a large HP pool for us to cut through. It doesn't get the chance to flip though, so we will need to wait for later games to see what it can really do.
As for the environment, this was my first time playing it, so I can't comment on this one either.

No commentary in this set, but there are definitely some strange games. I am trying to get more mileage out of the Crustle skin that I picked up, but I need to play it a bit more to see if it has more graphical changes than just a shell and some running animations. Essentially, I am trying to take things somewhat light right now as I wait for the initial patch of the season. The question is whether that will hit before MegaTen 5 or not.

I recorded this in December, but only am now uploading it. I haven't played the game since this video, so I am not sure if I will be getting around to the Demi-Fiend fight anytime soon.
This video is a compilation of the final sidequests you can do from fighting Metatron to making the choice, the most important of which being fighting Shiva. I also fuse enough demons here so that I can get the item from Sophia, so there is a small clip in the middle.
Otherwise, you will see what Amanozako is here as we do her quest and she joins the group, we will face off against the Archangels, and then wrap things up with the Shiva fight. I end up having to burn more resources in that fight than I would like, so it did delay me going up against the Demi-Fiend immediately. I think I can replenish some of them after I make the choice, but the entire thing is kind of tedious to me.

This is the last full patrol of the chapter (and game), so enjoy getting a view of Crossbell one more time before it gets "renovated." There is still another day in the chapter, but we will not be able to leave the city, so you will not get to see the peripheral areas. Otherwise, the drill is pretty much the same as always. Just get ready for things to start making a turn for the dark...

The exorcism for this one is short, but there is a preceding segment in the forest. If you are stuck in the forest, you need to eat some of the fungus to see Kokkuri. Then team up with your partner to use them as a decoy and use the gun. Finally, team up again and take aim at Kokkuri's rifle. Afterward, you can do this segment where you simply need to give him his name and the name of his target. Simple, right?

To date, this is the only map I've recorded while playing as Eagle, probably for obvious reasons. As for the map itself, it is large and accommodates air units well. Our opponent is Lash, who can be hard to kill when her super is active, so make sure not to waste yours while hers is up. Otherwise, due to the size of the map, it takes us a little while to work our way up to her HQ, but we have the means, especially since we have superior air units and hers are simply average.

If you only have eyes for a sniper, Sola is your mark. Having been by your side for 6 years while waiting for the stars to align for Kayto to make his return, it is about time she got what was coming to her.

I've not been trying to advertise this yet for anyone who was following behind with the older videos, but I imagine most of the consistent viewers are already aware, so I will start mentioning Master in the title.
As for the two ranked games here, the release of Mamoswine has given new life to Snorlax. Blastoise had so much dis-engage that it made Snorlax's life miserable, but since Mamo can do some work on Blastoise, we have a triangle forming on which beats which. Blastoise has range and dis-engage, Mamo has a lot of defense and hard engage, while Snorlax is a medium between the two, with the ability to counter Mamo's engage unless he ults. If Mamo is going to be a spot of prominence for weeks to come, I will be falling back on an old staple.
As for Gardevoir, the most important thing in this video is a spoiler of sorts: how to win game while losing Zapdos. The key to this is that we had the lead prior to the fight, so I just had to focus my spells on the guys with points and deny them from scoring. Sometimes this is not always possible, but seeing as they had most of their big stuff on CD, I had an opportunity to get two of them off the map when they were needed most. From there, it is just putting up that final defense to make sure that they can't close the remainder of the distance.

We return in the sequel as we prep for the Re:Boot Camp. Sadly, the majority of this video is tutorial and I have the second mission here to continue that as well as the fact that it is so short relative to the first one.
In this game, we will hop from nation to nation as we attempt to drive the Black Hole back into whatever pit they crawled out from. We will start with Orange Star who have the simpler missions (until you hit Hard Mode), and conclude with Green Earth. I will be doing all of the missions, so you will see me get Neotanks with every nation. That also means you will get to see all of the COs in the main game, but we will need to do the War Room to see the secret ones.
