Fire Emblem Mystery of the Emblem translation: Book 2 vs Medeus

Here is the final battle of the second book of Fire Emblem Mystery of the Emblem.
Luckily, as long as this chapter is, the final battle is quite easy. If you move Marth, Sirius, Minerva, Julian, Merric and Feena in the position as shown around 4:13, everyone can talk to their respective loved one within one turn.
Medeus himself is not that difficult either. His speed is pathetic, so as long as the units who can damage him have over 32 HP, it should prove no problem. My plan was to attack with Marth on the first turn and attack with Sirius and the Mercury Sword, Ryan and the Parthia, Tiki and Marth in the second turn, which should kill Medeus. Luckily, I got a critical hit with Marth, which made things a lot easier.

It's so badass how Marth charges the dragons face, then side steps the dragons attack. For a SNES game that looks so damn cool.

In FE12, When Julian was recruting lena at this chapter, instead of saying "Just call me lena" she said "From now on, call me honey/babe" depending on the translation, and in their ending together in FE12 Julian stops being a theif and owns an orphanage with Lena

i love tiki's flying animation

And then he goes away to Valentia and left Nyna.......

[@Jadanbr]

I thought the valentia trip was before

[@th3ra83]

@@Jadanbr it is before. But after Valentia he is back to settle business with Medeus and after it end it is mentioned in his ending in Valentia that he part way with Tatiana but he returned to her side again.

i always thought it neat how when you're checking units; you can actually watch a little animation of Dark Dragon Medeus; he comes out of the ground; standing straight up. I found that really neat; showing off not just with the battle animation showing how big he is; but the sprites as well.

[@DrewPicklesTheDark]

I like version better than the FE12 chapter tbh. I think the Earth Dragons rising from their slumber is better than the mixed bag of dragons in FE12, and although the map theme in FE12 isn't shitty, I much prefer Holy War (this one). Also Medeus being like x10 bigger.

[@ShadowVincent3]

I kinda agree. I much prefer this Holy War to the remake's holy war, and especially to the Forbidden Sanctuary. Feels a bit too quite. I have to admit, I didn't see the point of the earth dragons, since they disappear with the shield, but the way they can get pot shots in is pretty neat. The remake doesn't give them the chance (maybe on higher difficulties??)
And yes, Medeus being so big you can barely see his form is much more intimidating than his remake model.

Dragon Tiki is only as big as Medeus's head!

Is it even possible to beat this without abusing the Again staff while still recruiting everyone? Because enemies move in the same turn they spawn they will just immediately go for the weak Clerics killing them in one shot. I feel like this staff was made especially for this battle because you really don't need in any other place in the game if you play properly.

[@super3ultraworld]

Yes, it is possible, but a lot depends on luck and rng. In my playthrough earth dragon could one-shot Feena with a 40% chance + a lot depends on the dragon reinforcements and the crit chances of Mars and Tiki vs Medeus. In any case, even with a well-thought-out strategy and luck, saving the sisters and killing the medeus will take at least two turns without Again staff.

[@juhaniaho6698]

Why is Medeus making faces at them? (Look at his map sprite)

What's the name of the music that plays while minerva was speaking to Maria on this map?

What is the name of the music at 6:37

[@Quirino26]

Sorry, 5 years late, but it’s called Theme of Love.

[@KarlSturmgewher]

Sad music should not be Nyna's recruition theme.

[@Natnander]

I’m really curious where you found a translation patch with the correct English names

[@Quirino26]

I worked on this particular one. You can find translation patches on romhacking dot net

[@decastar3010]

@@Quirino26 hmm, yeah, the addendum

[@angrybread478]

Never knew Medeus had pupils

[@ShadowArmorPX]

Not exactly those are dragona that lose their Will and are now wild beasts at their fullest

[@purplevillager8801]

Jesus, the cursor movement is so stiff

[@gratedshtick]

That's just FE3

[@decastar3010]

Yea, but at least they fixed it at the later games, making it a bit more convenient to move

[@rdrrr]

If you think this is bad, consider; the NES games are even worse

[@Tis-I]

Dangit Nintendo, port the original 6 games to the switch! You did it with Shadow Dragon and the blade of light, why not the other 5?

[@Quirino26]

I hope the others will follow someday, but it’s a big ask :)

[@FrogishBird]

@@Quirino26Shouldn’t be a big ask lol

[@rdrrr]

@@FrogishBird Well, you'd need an English script. They can't just reuse the scripts from the remakes because those are considerably longer and wouldn't fit in the screen space - and cartridge space - available in the older games.
Cartridge space still matters because Nintendo's VC rereleases are basically the original game plus a custom emulator; they still have to obey the "rules" the original games did.

[@Flametix]

@@rdrrr Not necessarily, in the case of the very FE1 rerelease mentioned they use a Lua script to dynamically display the translation and variable width font into the game, and so there is no actual English translation in their ROM.

[@rdrrr]

@@Flametix Interesting that it doesn't use Shadow Dragon's punched up English script, then. It has its own, drier translation.
