We've gone through over two whole 8ch threads of just Empire. This game probably has a higher wordcount than PLAF if it keeps this pace up.

>Attack ONCE >oops! that's -20 pp chuddie!

>>13642 Errm problem chud? Are you not feeling relaxed enough with these estrogen herbs?

great evils loom... >>13643 haha...

>Tried to stop me from going past 5 thief variable points >Missed one set of shelves >The only "drawback" is an 8k fine I will thank the sw*mp for the boost in funds at least

>Random doubles jumpscare Whiteouts: 17 (+1)

>Accidentally closed the game with over 600 each of unsold and unsaved goods ack

>Go through entire gauntlet of minibosses >The actual "boss" at the end is free Many such cases.

The player name that keeps on giving.

>>13650 What is "Quagsire" even a stand in for? It's not a dog.

>>13614 you can say you beat that cheating fuck >>13626 >>13649 gg

I suspect this is a very bad idea. >>13651 A riddle for the ages. >>13652 Thanks bro.

>>13653 remember that regalia block other regalia powers

>>13654 Pretty much what I was worried about kek. Zain already knows the protagonist has a Regalia and wouldn't let me in here to potentially extract state secrets without a contingency.

This nigga writes an entire book while rubbing his hands and clenching his shekels. I won't waste 100+ images posting it all, but you can get the gist of it by listening to the average Klaus Schwab speech.

>>13655 I'm actually mentally retarded, I thought you were talking to zain. I don't think jaeger has a regalia, that's my bad

>>13659 No, I think the point still stands. Zain established in the flashback scene where the protagonist walked into the hospital that he knew the protagonist had the Sword Regalia. Leaving Jaeger in his office undefended is a perfect trap to have cause to "contain" MC-kun later "for his own safety".

You're asking a lot of me.

>>13660 gg

>>13663 Thanks.

>Variable doesn't get reset when you get caught There's the catch, sasuga I'm glad I spent all my ~50k in Ethers before I left to avoid the melanin tax I guess

>>13665 >theif >tithe for thievery

Thank you schizo sword

The worst part about the sw*mp's maps are that they don't even really open up after you get surf, you still can't fucking navigate this shithole without running into maliciously placed obstacle #47560734965

Rock Blast (and presumably other multihits with different functions) is bugged if you use Loaded Dice but don't have Stealth Rock up. This function was so poorly coded I just rewrote it. The principle behind this is easy enough to apply to other ones you may want to use, just adjust Stealth Rock to be whatever their condition for the extra free hit is.

Every time I think I'm free of Toliman...

Rhyperior near soloed her under a layer of tspikes.

>>13671 >>13672 gg

Whiteouts: 18 (+1) >Each one is holding items that arbitrarily give 3 immunities Really nigga? I lost first try to discovering what Guardian Ash did in the middle of the fight. >>13673 Thanks bro.

>Immediately after, no chance to save This game is really fucked up sometimes.

>Calm >Those IVs I feel obligated to at least give it a fair shake. It'll probably be a good Shock Helmet abuser with that ability, bulk, and recovery move.

>>13674 ggs >>13676 I remember it being a pretty bulky nigger and used it for 3/4 of the V12.5 bosses, you'll probably get a lot more use out of it than I did kek

Aurorabeam is the mother of all shitcode. See if you can spot the ""fun"" abusable quirk. It gives a fixed number of Aurora turns per stat with Light Clay or on specific fields regardless of how high that stat was raised per stat iterated through instead of converting stat stages 1:1 to AV turns and applying a modifier for Clay and fields afterwards. This means Leyline Luster preceding Aurora Beam gives your team 6 turns of Veil and you can stack this with no upper boundary. You can stack Pressure Plate or Safeguard on for even more "fun". >>13677 Thanks and I think I already broke this mon wide open.

>>13678 >Modder-kun added a 1/3 hp heal onto Ley Line Luster insane I think I rolled with Verglas/Hallucinate/Defrost/Aurora Beam/Filler move when I finally brought it out for V12.5 shit

This scene is a treasure and should be preserved in the Luci museum for future generations.

Mostly peaceful protesting.

>uh just give up one of the pokemon you've been training in this shithole chud. it's a fucking lesson, chud. just do it kill yourself

>>13683 just suddenly out of nowhere they're armed with guns. even in the large scale fights you've seen it's pokemon battles, but with yoaki involved they just use guns

>>13684 Aren't you way out in zimbabwe? What's this nigger doing here? Doesn't he have a school to run? >>13685 They smuggled in the rainglocks from fochun.

nigger I forgot he does this shit kek >>13686 He probably explained why he's specifically here in his gigantic wall of text, but I really don't care enough about him to read it tbdesu

ACKed by SscaraCHAD albeit

>>13687 >>13688 gg. he mainly goes on to tell you about his early life. he loved adventure and parties and the big drug, but when he got older he realized he missed out on things like getting married and having kids, so he settled for becoming headmaster. but then something in him yearned for adventure again, so he went back on the frontlines. not super interesting

I really wouldn't mind going back to OH MY ARCEUS after this game. >>13688 GG

How about those Yo'ACK crime statistics?

>No offense to your people helena, but yoACKs are a bunch of niggers who fucked over Telius bigtime lel >>13689 >>13690 thanks bros >I really wouldn't mind going back to OH MY ARCEUS after this game. Sciencespeed is cringekino of the highest order thougheverbeit

HE SAYS IT. Not all kings wear crowns, but he does.

>Stealth section with save point autism ew

Hate these puzzles >you only get two attempts before you get locked out Genuinely shocked you get a free save chance

>>13682 The fucking Joe pic always gets me kek >>13683 >>13695 Man I'm so glad you got to play this game >>13688 >>13675 GG. Not sure if I'll be able to do anything today unfortunately

I'm retarded so I just eventually lucked into the solution >>13699 Thanks >The fucking Joe pic always gets me kek me too kek, the face of a man that has to sit through all of empire's bullshit

>Alkaboros behind 10 turns of Aurora Veil, Pressure Plate, and 2 layers of TSpikes up This game lets you do some real broken garbage. >>13699 Thanks bro. I've enjoyed this far more as an experience than I thought I would despite all the obvious problems it has as a game. >>13700 Joe's face is perfect for this game.

This area is retarded. Not in the usual Empire way though. The player can move behind these tall objects but the boulders can't. Instead of the puzzle being designed around what's presumably an RPGMaker limitation, this is actively integrated into the puzzle to create spaces where the player can pass through but the rocks can't and it's not always clear at a glance what's solid and what's not.

>>13703 That's to get to the secret mon You need 2 twitches active, then either boulderdash or bulldoze, then you need 4 switches and brick break to open up the wall to push the boulder into This is the one that broke for me, not sure if the above is 100% accurate

This shit completely breaks the previously established rules of the puzzle. >>13704 What a good day to have Rhyperior.

>glowniggers were in on it oh my science, i'm shocked i tell you, shocked!

based

https://files.catbox.moe/s49wsa.mov Pressure Plate is a fair and balanced attack. First try.

>>13708 gg

>>13709 Thanks bro. >Another case of the boss(es) being easier than the random mid-episode trainer fights You hate to see it.

KusogeGODS...we're back in business >the north instead deals with a large number of unstable and aggressive wild Pokemon. So the further you travel from civilization, you'll find less trainers and criminals, and more powerful wild Pokemon. It's so fucking over

>>13708 gg >Pressure Plate Don't remind me, haha... Not looking forward to that adding another layer of pp hell to m*rtimer's gym

>>13698 Why does that Ho-Oh have bedroom eyes and tongue out?

>>13711 usually when we suffer good things happen. what kind of sick joke is this

>>13714 Octavius is that one npc in dimension defender >>13715 haha...

>>13716 I guess Ho-Oh IS a hot chick.

Finally, I can see again

Can we just skip to the part where I throw my HitmonCHAD at you and I get a badge

>>13719 >guy with the sprite that Taka was ripped off from wants to give you comfort

https://vocaroo.com/OP1Mt6p2Kl >>13720 I will be comfortable when my hitmonCHADS punch and kick his face in

I want out

>Fucked up hester's event, so I can't save wonderful

Whiteouts: 98 Wasn't that hard, the worst part was having to reload a save from ~5-10 minutes ago, but X button helps a lot

>>13725 >billions must die I suspect Octavius may be a chud.

I'm being baited, aren't I? >>13712 >>13713 Thanks. >>13724 GG. >Level 25 Does this nigga fight you with Kyurem & friends against an even more gimped team? >>13725 >>13726 I'm still holding out for the international banking cartel discourse because that's the silver(stein) bullet that kills lolbert ideological theory dead.

God I hate this field, first try thoughever https://streamable.com/4wtooh >>13727 Thanks >Does this nigga fight you with Kyurem & friends against an even more gimped team? Yees, but they're all 25-30 instead of 96-99 kek

RIPrico incoming if Cheyenne was any indication.

>>13731 GG and based first try sweep. >Level 25-30 That's just insulting kek. Did he make a big deal of sending his weenie hut jr. team after you in dialogue?

>>13727 I was indeed baited. Jewed, even.

>Thread theme https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FimJAOGb3Nk

I imagine that was a major story branch shift? That had the energy of the Taka Water Treatment Plant divergence in Reborn in that there's no way to realistically understand the consequences of your choice there before you make it.

After the Sylas fight, the Icecube deserves it.

>>13743 >Taka Water Treatment Plant divergence in Reborn H-haha. At least here it seems obvious that overusing the Regalia is a bad idea.

this is rough kek >>13743 As of now nothing happens, but later on something likely will change if you used the sword too much, Enrico dies there, if you didn't he just disappears and hasn't reappeared yet as of the current release

I doubletapped the second shot, he just says "Regalia". >>13745 I really appreciate that the game warns you that there will be consequences for using it, but also still provides lots of meaningful temptations to goad you into taking the short term benefits. The entirety of Chapter 9 was more or less a test of character for the player. It's handled a lot more gracefully than Taka's branch split in many ways. I wonder if I'm able to go back and grab a slowpoke with the Regalia after all the branch determinism is done doe. >>13746 He went into the portal. Does that imply that the destination that Virgil sent him to changes depending on your sword use either killing him or no? >Pic I'm waiting for Octavius to ironically call someone a xhe or xim next update.

You greasy kike. >Protagonist is immune to brainwash "haha, yeah, just testing it" >Protagonist isn't immune >>>Proceeds to turn protagonist into their puppet and extract all of the information from them for free

>>13747 That means he's alive, only half of him makes it through the portal if you use the sword too much kek >>13748 haha...

That pretty much meets most of the classical pre-monotheistic criteria of a deity doe. >>13751 Was Octavius a big enough shitposter to play Bury the Light as Virgil kills Enrico?

>>>>>Forbidden Fruit allegory >I'm interested to see how much of this is just the kike trying to project his evil onto something else and how much this is true. Probably a mix of both.

And there's the tongue in cheek admission that it depends entirely on the wielder's moral character and willpower that determines who wields who.

RIP Alanah's free will too in that case because she, while always good intentioned, didn't steel herself to a guiding or grounding philosophical framework before getting the scepter.

I hope he realizes these condemnations apply even moreso to him than Virgil.

>This faggot again Is this because I beat his ass during the Origen inspection?

Does this interruption happen in every route? Because this came out of nowhere.

Kike on Kike lawfare. You love to see it.

One of those coups is sitting in this room right now.

wew >12 trainers >2 chances to save before the machine breaks >No free heals >If you lose, lo lose both the mega stones and all of your money and get thrown out By doing some optional shit you do get a bit more min revives and whatnot, but not a huge amount Whiteouts: 113 >>13752 It's been a while but I'm pretty sure no kek >>13760 To my knowledge yes

>>13759 >Josiah Stone >leads some tech corporation Is this related to Joseph Stone's Devon in Hoenn?

Gottem.

Seeing Zain call the protagonist a bad goy is beautiful. >>13768 Origen is pretty much a far more sinister functional equivalent of Devon, but they're not explicitly stated to be connected.

>>13770 ORAS turned Devon into something way shadier than it was in RSE, since it's now founded on using the Ultimate Weapon technology to drain the life force of Pokemon to use it as energy source to make Devon successful.

Simon sends protagonist-kun back to the Primordial Pike where Regirock-Barbaracle was fought and protagonist-kun accidentally steps into the Alanah/Virgil/North/Enrico/Soren dimension. Looks like a laundry list of people who are compatible with Regalia.

Obnoxious stealth segment done.

Does anyone know what this last choice does? The relationship guide isn't particularly helpful.

>>13721 >one teeny, tiny, DYNAMAX BUGGRU kek >>13724 >>13731 gg >>13774 it activates some switch according to rpgmaker, north/alanah/soren/virgil faith depending on who you choose

>>13775 >it activates some switch according to rpgmaker Am I picking who I want to eat shit or who of the four I'm saving later?

>>13774 I posted about it last thread >>13073

>>13777 Noted. I think I'll go with the Tentacruel one even if it's not available in this version, although it's likely modded save files might be defunct when E13 comes out.

I love not taking my meds in pokemon fangames.

haha... >>13778 It's available, it's just not available until the 12.5 content iirc, because it's locked in the Sw*mp dive spots, while the others are accessible now (in E10) I'm pretty sure

>>13781 >produce megastones is like rejuv where crests are made from pokemon souls?

Whiteouts: 116 Thrown into yet another gauntlet with no save point available, got through it third try after a extremely close call on the 2nd to last fight You fight with North on a few of these, if you lose during one of them, you get a free pass thanks to his regalia, but only one, I lost on the last one due to having no revives left kek

>>13784 does something different happen if you get through? I just gave up after I noticed it didn't game over me

>>13785 You just get a illyran moonshine if you make it through, or a dynastic vestige if you make it through without north bailing you out, idk if there's anything else

Don't care, thanks for the self rule point

I'm free

>>13787 >>13788 GG and congrats >Level 100 GRD Hitmonlee What even was it?

>>13789 Thanks >What even was it? A 6v6 vs a team of mons at ~85, nothing happens if you win of course, everyone else around still got btfo'd kek

>>13790 Is it as over-engineered to be as close to impossible as Arthur is? I might give it an honest try depending on how stupid the surrounding circumstances are or aren't for the fight.

>>13787 >>13788 congrats

What the fuck happened to Alanah?

>>13792 Definitely wouldn't recommend it kek, you're still really limited here, and you can't even leave to prep >>13794 Thanks bro >>13795 haha...

Corrective Regalia rape incoming.

>>13795 she's definitely what jaeger was describing, "it's so simple, if everyone just did this, this, and that, everything would be fixed!" but now she has the magic, she can extend her reach beyond the family dinner table

>>13799 The symbolism of her Regalia being the scepter completes it too; the princess fantasy of a fresh out of college girl with no real world experience, complete with magic wand.

I'm morbidly curious, I'm going to let her brainrape this guy.

I now understand how she got a Mega Ring. She's long gone by now, isn't she?

>>>>>>>>>Finish up around here Jesus how horrifying.

>It wasn't all Roselias Lines made worse by the existence of Decimation. >Casual brainrape your family She's completely possessed by it at this point similar to how Tobias was, isn't she?

thanks nigger

>>13805 >she's possessed by it at this point similar to how Tobias was, isn't he? honestly I think she happily drank that koolaid. the staff probably told her she could prove morgan wrong and it was wraps

Can't have you back quicksaving so soon, chuddie

>>13807 That's probably how it started, but it's established that the Regalia brainrot is a progressive (pun intended I guess) one. There's probably a point when crossed where you can't go back even if you want to. >>13808 So what does him taking away your ability to save even do besides make the game marginally worse?

And here's fly It'll still be second to the Schizo Sword thoughever >>13809 you get extra shit, like a second pseudo item, but that's about it

Joewarida Still got some quests to do thougheverbeit, haha...

>>13811 Congrats. >Joewarida You've been waiting for that this entire playthrough haven't you kek

>>13812 Thanks bro >You've been waiting for that this entire playthrough haven't you kek Not the whole playthrough, but certainly a bit kek
