Let's Play Fire Emblem: New Mystery of the Emblem!

[┌༼ຈل͜ຈ༽┘]

From today forth, you will train together as a team in your bid to become fully-fledged knights. The first half of your training will focus on developing your practical skills. Without further ado, I will introduce the senior knight who is to be your instructor.



Hey, it’s Cain! He looks older and more dignified. I really like the new portrait. The old one was a bit awkward.

o hone your practical skills, we will have a contest in the form of combat. If you let your guard down, it won't be just an injury you'll be walking home with!
Even amongst the Altean knights, Cain is one of our strongest men. You must all become strong enough to earn his approval.



Your enemies will consist of us Altean knights, as well as brave warriors whom I am proud to call friends. The opponents are determined by the ability of each platoon. 7th Platoon, your opponent is...
My squires, my friends; please go easy on me.

Caeda! What’s the Prince’s fiancée doing t raining newbie knights?

Oh, it's Princess Caeda! Prince Marth's fiancee! She's so pretty... I feel nervous at the thought of fighting her...





And we’re left to deal with 2 enemy units. A fighter and a mercenary are our initial opponents. Caeda will spawn once we defeat them. We start with letting Ryan get a whack.



Rody finished up the enemy.



We’re not fast enough to double this fighter. In most classes, we would be fast enough but like I said, Mage is the worst class for the Avatar.



Luke can deal the finishing blow.

I see you know how to fight well. In that case, I will fight you next.



Caeda is really fast. Now one on our side can double her and most get doubled themselves.



Fear won't help you; approach with confidence and the intent to fight.



We back up a bit and let Rody act as bait. He ends up getting doubled but survives with no problems.



But we have an Archer so Caeda goes down easily.



Well, that was easy…

That was a thrilling fight. You are the first squires to have bested me in combat. Promise me that you'll become knights worthy of helping Marth.
Of course, Princess Caeda.
If you ever need help during the practical training, do call on me. And I'll fight, but as your companion.
Hm? We'd gladly appreciate your help, but I'm not sure if we would be allowed to.
What should we do? I know, how about we ask Sir Jagen?

I have no qualms about your proposal. You may borrow the help of friends if they offer as much.
What a relief. I'm certain Princess Caeda will make a reliable ally.
But, is it really alright to rely on others? I don't see how this fits with our training...



We answer ‘no’.

No, this I know. The League led by Prince Marth didn't just consist of Altea: It went beyond the frontiers of nationality, and included friend and foe alike...
Yes. Our victory was not just the accomplishment of us Altean knights. Overcoming status and position; being able to fight together as equals... That is how Prince Marth fights. No matter when an ally came to our side, they could instantly join the battle with us. That is also a necessary skill for an Altean knight.
I see... That will be important to our training. I understand now.
If we can combine our strengths when we fight, I'm sure we can achieve anything. Right, Chris?
Yes, you're right.

Character Spotlight.

Luke





Luke starts out with decent base stats and some amazing growths. 65 % Strength and 50 % speed is a winning combination in my book. Usually, the early game enemies are axe wielders and his D rank in swords gives him an edge against them. He’s definitely one of the best units in the game. In fact, all units of the “7th Platoon” are really, really good.

Rody





Rody starts out with worse stats than Luke but compensates by having better growths. His Speed growth is a whopping 65 % and a full 15 % ahead of Luke’s growth. He also has a D in Lances which gives him ranged options although that doesn’t mean anything in the prologue since we don’t get ranged weapons right now. Doesn’t matter which one you use since both are pretty amazing and you won’t ever go wrong if you use both.

Artowrk of Luke and Rody:

[Yoh]

Everyone's new portrait seems to look downwards more...maybe just me.

[┌༼ຈل͜ຈ༽┘]

While the portraits in this game are technically superior to those in Shadow Dragon, they lack the charm of the ones from SD. Like Cain. His new portrait is better but his SD one, I like more.

[┌༼ຈل͜ຈ༽┘]

What's wrong, Luke?
Don't you think it's a crying shame that there aren't any cute and caring clerics around?
W-what do you mean...?
Well, a knight thrives on romance, right? Like if I were wounded in battle, and a lovely cleric came to my aid... Hey, Captain Kris, if we had a cleric like that with us, I bet we'd all fight twice as hard!
Well, I don't know about the romantic part... But it would make our lives easier if we had a healer on our side. Unfortunately, I don't think there are any healers around, Luke. It might be a good idea for us to ask someone for assistance on the matter.


Katarina’s got that look again.



I suspect he’s having a stroke.

Yes, yes, I heard the whole thing from Sir Jagen. If you like, I could lend you my services as a healer. ...Oh my, has something terrible happened? Your face looks awfully pale... Have you been taken by illness, my boy?
Ah, no, it's nothing... (Be careful what you wish for, Luke!)
Pay no heed to Luke; we're all fine. Pleased to make your acquaintance, Wrys.
Well then, let's continue the combat training. Everyone, you had better be prepared! I've decided that you will have a rather unusual instructor for today's practical training. This is General Jeorge, who is visiting from the kingdom of Archanea.



Gordin’s alive? Didn’t he, well, die? Trying to buy Marth time and all?

So I asked a big favor: to be allowed to take part.
Sir Jeorge... A true master of the bow and arrow, they call him greatest archer on the continent. Kris, do your best!



Don’t mind the different spellings.

Jeorge is our boss for this chapter. If you remember in the previous chapter, we were asked a question. If we had answered yes, the boss for this chapter would have been different. It would have been Athena instead. There is a question at the end of most chapters in the prologue and the boss of the next chapter depends on the answer to the question. Very arbitrary but what can we do?

Jeorge is powerful and fast. And he will move once you get inside his range. The enemies marked with 3 stars only appear in Lunatic mode. It’s best to take out the mooks before luring out Jeorge.

Joining us on this map is Caeda just as she said in the previous chapter. She’s overpowered for Normal mode so I won’t be using her at all so I didn’t show off her stats here. I’ll still give her a spotlight at the end but it’s mostly formality.



We begin with letting Ryan attack. He get speed and defence. Looks like we’re in business, folks.



And we move Rody in front of him for protection.



We take some damage but everything’s still fine.



The rest of the mooks go down. And place Luke withing Jeorge’s range.

I am Jeorge, a bow knight of Archanea. Let me see how you fare in battle.



He takes a beating but he’s fine.



And now we surround him so that he’s helpless.



...That was magnificent...



Gotta do better, Ryan.





The name's Kris. Junior knight Kris.
Kris... I'll remember that name. I'm afraid I cannot join your cause, but... Gordin, could you go in my stead?
Yes sir. I'll gladly fill in for you.
Kris, you are someone I'd like to fight alongside one day. I look forward to the day we can meet again.

Gordin, how the hell are you alive?

Today's training is now over. With that, I shall give you an interim report.
Interim report...?
From the very first test until now, I have evaluated your manner of combat. The more of your allies that have been injured and forced to withdraw, the poorer your score. Get ready to listen up!
Yes sir.
Commander Kris of the 7th Platoon! Of the twenty junior knight platoons, you place...
First! Wonderful work, Kris! You are most talented!
A-amazing! We did it! We did it, Kris! It's all thanks to you, Kris.
But don't let your guard down. Placing first doesn't give you an excuse to start slacking off. That is all! You may return to the castle!

Your ranking depends on how many characters you lost. If you lose even a single one in Normal mode, then go play Temple Run, you casusal noob.

(…)


Now, where were the 7th Platoon's chambers again...?



Elice! My insta-A-Rank staff user!

Uh, yes. I'm Kris. I came here hoping to become an Altean knight. And you are...?
I am Elice. Marth's elder sister.
Oh! Prince Marth's elder sister... Please excuse my lack of manners.
It's alright. Kris... I think it's very admirable that you've come to help Marth.
It is an honor to serve Prince Marth, the Hero King.
"The Hero King"... you say? It does seem that our people have grown fond of calling him that. But truth of the matter is that Marth... Marth is just a weak, vulnerable child...
Prince Marth is weak...?
Yes. Of course, he was the hero who triumphed in the battle against the Shadow Dragon. However, behind his heroic face, Marth is an idealistic child who firmly clings on to his beliefs. And as you too must know, the real world... cannot be saved with just ideals.
Yes...
Even as we speak, somewhere unknown to us, our peoples' lives are being lost... Marth cannot save those people.
Yes, that's true... Even the most excellent of kings is not an omnipotent god. A king is no more than human, and there are limits to the things he can do.
Yes. Precisely. Most people realize this and can come to terms with that reality. But Marth cannot do that... He truly thinks that he can save everyone. In war, losing just one companion is unbearable for him... He suppresses his feelings with all his willpower, but I know that inside, his heart breaks and bleeds...
......
In this cruel world, it will become increasingly difficult for him to continue to hold those ideals... Kris, if some day you should achieve knighthood... Please, protect him somehow and keep his ideals safe...

Wow, wtf Elice? Now this is one part of this game that I most definitely do not like. Marth’s character gets reverted back to his naïve and childlike persona from FE3, throwing away a lot of the development he had in Shadow Dragon. It’s not a lost cause since he isn’t totally as naïve as he used to be but it’s still a damn shame.

Character Spotlight:

Caeda





Woooow, talk about lopsided growths… Caeda, just like last time is all about speed, skill and luck and not much of anything else. She starts with 15 speed and has a 95% growth in it. Talk about overkill… On the other hand, he strength growth is a measly 30%, which is manageable and would have been great in Shadow Dragon but here, it’s kinda disappointing. One good thing is that I can promote Pegasus Knights to Falcon Knights as the item needed for that promotion is available through the main game and does not require internet access. Falcon Knight class suits Caeda’s growths much better. However, I still have painful memories from my Shadow Dragon LP and I won’t be using Caeda this time.

Wrys





Ah, Wrys. I like you as a character but man do your growths suck. Mind you, if he had these growths in Shadow Dragon then he would be very usable. Unfortunately, this is not Shadow Dragon and we get 2 far better healers before chapter 4 of the main game. Wrys is just out of his league. However, he’s our only healer in the prologue so he definitely has his uses here.

Artowrk of Caeda:

[Yoh]

Still very bitter about the last playthrough huh.

[┌༼ຈل͜ຈ༽┘]

Yep. And remember how shit Lena was? Yeah, my 2 healers in the main game are turning out to be just the same.

[Yoh]

Well, that's just fan-freaking-tastic.

[LuciferIX]

Always a good amount of work you put in this.

It is kinda odd hearing Marth being put down to that level but he is only human. Although I do see Kris coming into play again later with a bigger role.

[┌༼ຈل͜ຈ༽┘]

Ahh... This forest sure is nice and peaceful.
Yeah.
Just walking around here makes me feel rejuvenated, in a way.
Yeah, same here.
Oh, by the way. We're lost, aren't we?
.....
Hey, Captain Kris! Wasn't this supposed to be, y'know, a shortcut!? Well?!
Uh... sorry... I did think it was, really... But we're definitely lost now.
WHAAAAAT?! You don't need to tell me that! I figured that out ages ago!
Everyone, please, we mustn't fight. We need to work together in times of crisis...!
She's right. There's no point in crying over spilt milk. Rather, let's find a way home. Ahem. Ladies and gentlemen, our new mission: Find our way back to Altea Castle. Of course, we should try not to wander around aimlessly while we find our way.
Argh, we've totally fallen behind the others. ...Altean Knights, lost in Altea. Sir Jagen is going to kill us...
I-I'm honestly very sorry...
It's fine. If we march all night, we can make up for lost time. Ah...! Please, wait! Could that be...?
W-what's wrong?
Over there! That village is under attack!



In typical Fire Emblem style, random bandits out of nowhere!


...The more you lot riot, the smoother our job will be. Weeheehee!

Oh? Who’s this badass looking guy?

Bandits, here...?! We can't just ignore this. Everyone, move out!

A simple map if you don’t rush. Stay back and let the enemy come to you. After this, things should become trivial. If you do rush, you’ll find that the enemies will gang up on and kill one of your units. The mysterious axe dude leaves and we only have generic bandit as a boss.



On our first turn, we move Luke and Rody onto the forts while everyone else stays out of range.



Rody gets a terrific level up for taking so many hits.

On the second player phase, a special guest arrives.



Hey! Who are you? You don't look like you're in league with the bandits...
You've got blue hair... just like Marth's...I gather you're the commanding officer? Very well, I shall join you. The name's Merric. I'm a mage from Khadein. Your orders, please!

That’s a pretty strange leap of logic to go from ‘blue hair’ to ‘commanding officer’. His dialogue changes a bit depending on your hair but nothing significant.



Merric is pretty damn good, even if a little overpowered.



Luke gains Strength, Skill and defence. A deadly combo.



Ryan hits a dude and Kris finished him off and gets a good level.



Oh yeah!



Rody parks himself next to the boss.



Our team defeats him easily.



Couldn’t have asked for a better level.





Um, Chris, maybe this Merric is a friend of Prince Marth... That's it! He must be Merric the wind mage. I heard he even fought alongside Prince Marth during the War of Shadows. Wow, I-I'm a little nervous now...

Katarina fangirls all over the heroes from the previous war.

Prince Marth summoned me to help train the new knights. But, sadly, I seem to be rather lost. Would it be alright if you would show me the way to Altea Castle?
T-to Altea Castle?

(…)

Weeheehee! Just as planned.
Legion!
Ooh, Kleine. Didn't you have something else to do?
Quiet, you. It was easier than taking candy from a baby. I don't waste my time like you lot. You and Eine had better end this quick! It's not hard.
Yeah, whatever. In the end, our skulking about is going to get us results. We've got us a plan... We'll kill Marth... without fail.


The plot thickens! Also, ‘Roro’ was localized to ‘Legion’ which is what I’ll be using from now on. Legion is such an awesome localization for this character. You’ll see why in the main story.

(…)

Finally... Altea Castle. We're back at last.
Huh? What's the matter, Kris? Is there something bothering you?

We get asked a question. I’m gonna answer ‘no’ but I’ll show the dialogue for ‘yes’ since it’s better.

Katarina, did you see him? Among the bandits... There was a funny man with a mask. I didn't count him amongst the dead. It's a little worrying...
...A masked man, huh? I'm sorry. I didn't see him... Well, it's okay. We did beat them in the end! Heehee, all this worrying's gotten me hungry... Come on, Kris, let's go and find something to eat.

If you say no, they directly go to get something to eat.


 Commander Kris and Katarina, of the 7th Platoon, reporting as ordered, sire.
Please, calm yourselves. You may stand at ease.
Yet you summoned us so suddenly, milord... Is it to do with the bandits we subjugated? Are you, sire, reprimanding us for disobeying our orders?
Not at all-it's quite the opposite. Your actions have saved many. As ruler, my duty is to protect my people, and I am truly grateful for what you did.
We're honored to be of service, but that was tougher than any of our training. Phew...
Kris, and you as well, Katarina... I hear from Jagen that you've been exemplary cadets.
Is that so sire? Sir Jagen never intimated as much...
I've seen your skill, and I agree wholeheartedly with him. Why, the both of you are suitable for the Altean army. Should the two of you pass your test, I'd love it if you would become my Royal Guards.
Royal Guards, sire?
Though the stories tell of me as a great hero, it is not so. There is only so much that I can do by myself. That much, I know to be true. The War of Shadows was won with the aid of comrades who wished for the same future as I. 'Twas not a lone romp across the land. I realized, whether in peace or war, I need people I can trust-young, dynamic soldiers who can support and guide me.
B-but the Royal Guard exists to protect the king... It is a role immense importance... Are we even fit for such an esteemed duty?
Yes, I believe so. I want you to be my Royal Guard. Jagen feels the same as I. But... don't feel obliged to promise me; I won't think ill of you if you decline. And so, I ask this of you once more. You need not answer right away. It's quite alright. Please think it over carefully.

Altea’s military must be really terrible if fresh recruits can become Royal Guards. That’s the kind of job that comes through decades of training anywhere else.

Character Spotlight:

Gordin





Gordin has better base stats than Ryan but his growths are all worse than him. Just like Wrys, if he had these growths in Shadow Dragon, he woud be very good. Here, he’s mediocre. He’ll do his job just fine but Ryan is just better.

Merric





Merric makes for a great mage. Unfortunately, he leaves at the end of the prologue and joins during the mid-game. By that point, Kris will most likely be promoted or nearing promotion and will be a much better mage than him. Still, he’s good and he won’t disappoint. As always he can use Exacalibur, which is still just as OP as it was in Shadow Dragon, at any rank and when he rejoins us, he has it with him.

[Yoh]

Merric should get his hair dyed if he wants to be a commander.

[┌༼ຈل͜ຈ༽┘]

Hmmm...
What's the matter now, Luke?
Guys, guys, guys, I need an opinion! How's my hair look?
Your... hair?
I'm a soldier of love, seeking out only the most beautiful women, but I... haven't gotten any dates yet.
I'm sorry to say, most of the girls here think of you as small fry. I mean, people think Ryan is a "cutie," or Rody is "Ohmigosh, so cool!" Quite a few people seem to secretly lust after Kris too.

All the womenz are lesbo for Kris. I’m perfectly okay with that.

Exactly! I didn't get it at first. I thought, "what am I doing wrong?" That's when I realized: it's my hair!
I'm not sure what leap of logic led you to that particular conclusion...
My feminine grace'll win hearts, just like Kris!
Your "feminine grace" is scaring me actually...
Luke, maybe if you did something about that attitude of yours, you'd be more popular. Oh, it's time. Apparently, today, Sir Jagen wishes to have a word with us before training.



During this time, I've witnessed many a platoon desert because they couldn't stomach the harsh training. Not to mention platoons that failed due to miserable results... Of all who remain, there are only twenty names.
Eep, the requirements are incredibly strict!
True. But we still remain in the game. That's what matters. As long as we keep working hard...
From now on the practical training will be far more grueling. As such, we will be introducing lectures to advise you.
Lectures?



Hey! It’s Frey!

In my lectures, you will learn essential knowledge that all knights should possess.
From here on, this is the real thing. Prepare to be pushed to your limits.



Now, firstly, I'll talk about the preparations you need to make before a battle. Before you fight your enemy on the battlefield, you must ensure that you are sufficiently prepared. From today, you will be allowed to choose who will come onto the battlefield. Kris, as commander, the decision of who to send falls upon you.
Understood. I'll do my best to choose the most suitable companions for the battle.



One more important thing: Pay attention to party members who wish to speak with you. Talking to your party members will often yield tactical advice. The more stars displayed, the more important a conversation is. When you come to a new battlefield, it's always a good idea to check if anybody has something to say.

(…)

Well then, let's begin today's practical training! Your opponents from here on will be the toughest yet, so show me that fighting spirit of yours! The 7th Platoon's opponent, today, is...



Fuck yeah, Ogma!

What? We-we have to fight Ogma...? Kris, Ogma is a hero from the last war... He'll make for a formidable enemy.

And finally, we get access to the battle preparations menu. Firstly, let’s get those talks out of the way.

The Fire Emblem

Today’s lecture is about Archanea’s most valued treasure, the “Fire Emblem.”
The “Fire Emblem” … I heard Prince Marth fought the last war with it in hand.
That’s right. In the previous War of Shadows, the abominable shadow Dragon, Medeus, invaded Archanea. Archanea was crushed by Medeus’s troops, and House Archanea was wiped out, save for Princess Nyna. And it was Princess Nyna who entrusted Prince Marth with the proof of Archanean royalty: the “Fire Emblem.”

*Flashback*
Then let me give you this. This crest is called the Fire Emblem. House Archanea bestows it upon a true champion, one we believe has the power to save the world.
*End Flashback*

Therefore, our connection with Archanea runs very deep. Don’t forget that.

Nyna giving Marth the Fire Emblem was a very important event, with far reaching effects. You can never be certain what these effects may be.

New Platoon Member

Oh Kris! I’m going out for a bit.
Katarina? Why are you in such a rush?
I’ve found someone in another platoon who could join us. I’m off to talk to her. She’s called Cecille. I can vouch for her ability. All of her comrades have deserted, and it seems she’s in a pickle, now that’s she’s all alone.
Right, I see. In that case, I’d be happy if she joined us. Sir Jagen did say our battles would become fiercer from now on. We need manpower-every soldier counts.
Yes, I’ll do my best. Also, I’m hoping to bring along some powerful weapons as well.
Weapons? Can you get them?
Err, the truth is… I have some secret connections. I can’t get them ready right now, but I’ll do my best so that they will be available for your next battle, Kris.
I don’t really get it, but… You’re not getting involved in anything dangerous, are you? You needn’t go that far.
It’s alright. Please leave it to me. I want to help you, Kris, any little way I can. Well, I’ll be off now.

Lol, Katarina is in on the weapons smuggling business.

Kris

Kris, reporting. Sir Jagen, did you call for me?
Relax, it’s nothing serious. You said your name is Kris. Where did you learn to fight>
…I was originally an orphan; I was picked up when still a baby. Since I was young, I’ve been living in a small village called Sera, together with my grandfather. He was the one who trained me. Grandfather was very strict, and worked me to the bone, everyday. Many times, I thought I was going to die…
What’s your grandfather’s name?
His name was Maclir. I heard he was once a knight of Altea.
Maclir? I see. You must mean Sir Maclir…
Were you acquainted with my grandfather?
Yes. Kris, your grandfather was an old friend of mine. He left the front lines due to injury but his loyalty to House Altea was unmatched. I see. So Sir Maclir trained you hard and well so you could become a knight of Altea.
“Kris, become Altea’s sword. Acquire unbreakable power and loyalty.” That’s what my grandfather used to say when he was still alive. I grew up with his wish in mind.
I see. I understand your strength now. You are amazingly capable. The lads who will themselves to battle these days don’t have that much power. Clearly, that’s the result of hard training from an early age. Kris, I ask of you to never stop tempering your skills. Your power is sure to be of use to Prince Marth.

That’s a lot of dialogue, especially when compared to Shadow Dragon.



Our team for this chapter.



Again, a simple map. The 2 bridges serve as our choke points.

The soldiers here will be your opponents, first. If you defeat all of them, I'll step up to fight.

In Normal mode, we don’t even have to fight Ogma until we defeat the rest of the mooks.

Huff... puff... I-I made it. Hey, where's this Commander Kris person?
That would be me, but who are you?
I'm Cecille, a junior knight like you! I know it's very sudden, but I was invited by Katarina to join your group.
...Very sudden indeed. But, the more the merrier. Could we talk after the battle?
Sure, I'm glad you understand. Oh yeah, I brought along some strong weapons that Katarina prepared for you! Just give me the orders and I'll give you them to replace your worn out ones.

Cecille was just mentioned by Katarina.



Here’s Cecille. She’s pretty good. I’m not too fond of her though. Her personality is like Sully from Awakening and I’m not too fond of her either. Mind you, neither is a badly written character. It’s just that their personalities are not to my liking.

Cecille is kind enough to bring along the weapons that Katarina mentioned. She brings Steel variants of Swords, Lances and Bows as well as the D rank version of whatever weapon the Avatar uses, in this case, Elfire.



One down. Luke doesn’t seem to want to get speed. This might be his downfall.



Rody is on a roll though.



And the last mooks goes down, which brings out Ogma.

Not bad. As promised, I will fight.



We gang up on him and defeat him.



Fuck yeah!



Such great power. Looks like Altea is blessed with good knights. Kris, if you have need of my power you need only ask.
We did it, Kris! Good job!

And next time is our final test.

(…)

Excuse me, Kris, do you have a moment?
Huh? Of course. What is it?
That Royal Guard position that Prince Marth offered us. Did you think about it? I... I'd like be a Royal Guard, if you're in with me. Together, we'd be an unstoppable team... When I imagine a future like that, I feel very happy. ...Um, what about you, Kris? Do you, perhaps, feel the same as I...?

We answer ‘yes’.

Yes, of course.
R-really? I'm so glad... Well, this is a little awkward... I should get to bed. Good night, Kris. Good luck for tomorrow.

See you all next time for our final test. Not the end of the prologue. Nope.

Character Spotlight:

Cecille





Cecille is a mix of Luke and Rody. She’s got Luke’s weapon ranks and Rody’s growths. She’s another great unit but I won’t be using her much because I’m not too fond of her. Her strength can be a problem since in all of my playthroughs, she tends to get screwed in that stat.

[Yoh]

YOU GOT A PROBLEM WITH TOMBOYS.

Nah, I'm just kidding.

You said we had to fight all of the stock enemies before fighting Ogma, right? Is that the same on the other difficulties?

[┌༼ຈل͜ຈ༽┘]

No, he joins the fight right in the beginning in Hard mode and above. And woe be you if you aggro him on harder difficulties. He's an absolute nightmare.

I only dislike tomboys who try to hard to be like men and take super offence to anyone who treats even remotely as a woman, no matter how good their intentions or if they even were offensive at all. Both Sully and Cecille are like this.

[Yoh]

And I'm sensing the knight class would be better against Ogma on harder difficulties?

[┌༼ຈل͜ຈ༽┘]

The Knight class is the only class you can play as on Lunatic Reverse. In fact, you need to gain a Strength + Defence Level up within your first 2 levels to even have a chance of completing Prologue 2 without losing a character.


Take a look at this. The author had to resatrt the entire game because his first 2 level ups didn't contain strength and it became impossible for him to beat Prologue 2.
