He gives makalov the friggin JFK voice, and I just immediately imagine some casino variant of “nothing bad ever happens to the Kennedy’s” lmao. Lovely voice decision for a character who shall now collect dust.
Tbh I kind of ship Astrid with Marcia. I just think the idea of Marcia stealing her brother's girl is the perfect revenge for all the shit he's put her through and absolutely hilarious.
I think the thing that makes him work so good is while he is dumb he's also very ready to learn whenever given the opportunity. It just makes him so endearing
He's a good character because he makes sense: He's a sheltered boy(so of course he appears dumb)that's raised well enough, and shows his personality traits: introverted and empathetic as he is stubborn, and is willing to learn. We watch him grow in this game, and how he influences others which affects him in RD. Despite being cliche, the writing in this game is good enough to make you appreciate the character cast and make some endearing.
God, like...I'm just so impressed by the Muariam and Ike conversation. The dialgoue is so natural and in character, you really feel for Muariam and his family's history, Ike's empathetic but never talks down to him or pretends that he can really know what it's like to come from slaves. Even just Ike talking about his relationship with Elincia. It just takes my breath away. Two characters talking about trying to make a better future for each other and what steps they can take. What a perfect piece of writing. I nearly teared up.

And yet by going for Makalov for some inexplicable reason, Astrid somehow traded upwards. Her fiance before that being Lekain, one of the three marriage candidates in this game somehow worse than Makalov. The other two being Valtome and Izuka.
It's funny the explanation for why magic users aren't affected by the movement penalty of desert maps is because spirits push the sand out of the way. You know what's under the sand in a desert? MORE SAND.
They don't say the spirits push it away, they say the spirits clear it from their path, which what I'm assuming that means is the spirits make temporary solid ground on the sand as they walk. But if you're going off of how mages move in Warriors, then they just levitate to move.
I know they probably won't, but I desperately want to hear the Bastian/Makalov supports with the Makalov JFK voice. That C support is hilarious and the voice will only elevate it.
Back when Jello was streaming this I had decided to play it myself, and I started a run of child army. Around chapter 20 I got super busy and put it on hold for a bit, and this getting reuploaded reminded me of it, and how enjoyable the game so I started it back up and was reminded that Oh Yeah My Ike Might Cap Res For Some Fucking Reason. Hes a level 9 lord and has fucking 14 res. I can just leave him to magic users and he can handle himself. It's great.
Ah, yes finally, the part where the game's story finally takes a leap with Ike's prom -- Nevermind. Also 1:55:00 - GODDAMMIT JELLO! THIS IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE CUTSCENES.
You mention the map affinities and their lack of mechanics here - there’s actually a hack of Radiant Dawn that makes them matter a lot! It’s called Radiant Dawn Exalted, and is a combination rebalance and overhaul. Dunno what the progress is since I only recently found it, but the idea is the full release will be eight different versions of the game, one per Affinity, that buffs items, player units, map difficulty, and enemies of the associated affinity significantly. It also adjusts skills a lot inspired by Heroes, making most more useful and redistributing them while the uber skills get cooldowns to avoid constant procs that let you run over the lategame. In theory, at least - I still need to try it out after my next few runs of vanilla fe9+10. Give it a try!
Although it probably won’t have any exp fixes for laguz, I myself wanted to see if anyone made progress on finding where in the code the exp formula is, and nobody really knows yet, besides that it might be in a certain hellhole file called FE8Data.cms which is apparently somehow worse than the rest of the game
I think the reason that Sigrun always sucks for you in RD is that, in a game where most charachters have multiple growths in the 60s, her Speed growth is fucking 25% and her Defence growth is *10 FUCKING PERCENT*. As a character she's fine, but she's maybe the worst unit in the whole game
I have to admit to being a HUGE fan of Astrid/Makarov. He's such a shit man, and she's such a cool person, and yet he is HER choice. And there's something super charming about that. Of course Jello also ended up making me **love** Makalov by orders of magnitude greater because of his chosen voice for him, and for Marcia.
No, she deserves an actual caring partner who can carry their half of the relationship, instead of this human ball-and-chain who steals your wallet while spouting false promises to keep you in this emotional cesspool of a relationship! You shouldn't waste your life on people who will just exploit and hurt you. There are plenty of nice hot single people in this army for her to date instead.
Other hilarity includes my Oscar being the MVP of the map where their Oscar was barely able to dent anyone and Soren demonstrating that Yam is right and he is in fact a dodge tank when the RNG will let him be one
Check Jello's twitch channel (he was unbanned in case you didn't know). There seems to be some saved streams there of Jello reading Baccano or something (I didn't watch them)
I kind of adore Makalov but I just love a dumb gambling shithead. Especially one who has to help save the world. (I do wish he was a bit more fleshed out or had more of an intent to grow as a person.)
Hopefully Jello sees this, you mentioned liking characters based off of strings. Have you ever seen a show called Akame ga Kill? It's a show about assassins where they all have unique weapons, one on my favorite ones are basically razor wire gloves
i wasnt expecting to get upset during this game but human trafficking and the fact that its still rampant among the modern “ruling class” makes me absolutely livid
Dumb question but is the difference between a feral laguz and a regular animal ever explained? I feel like I'm missing a lot of context there... for reference I have never played a FE game before so I'm also a little behind on a few base game mechanics lmao
I've never seen someone struggle to use dolphin so much. Does he not know how to alt+tab? Let alone remapping his keys? Sorry if I sound rude, but it's a really easy emulator to work with. There's literally a button on the main screen with the word "controller" under it that could solve all of your control problems. Wish I had been in chat when this was recorded. Idk if jello would see me comment, but still. Could solve a lot of his skipping problems if he were to just remap what keys he has to which button.
Y'know, now that I think about it. Makalov's debt collectors hanging around the pegasus knight barracks would not only be embarrassing, but also, like. Man. That sure is a way to have a bunch of shady nasty men lurking around a women's barracks, huh. Thanks Makalov. Ugh. And they made my girl attracted to him for some feckin' reason. Why. Crime. Unforgivable.
I like how jello just lived in the makalov voice for a while
He gives makalov the friggin JFK voice, and I just immediately imagine some casino variant of “nothing bad ever happens to the Kennedy’s” lmao. Lovely voice decision for a character who shall now collect dust.
I love how it takes Jello a minute to get out of the JFK voice once he starts
Tbh I kind of ship Astrid with Marcia. I just think the idea of Marcia stealing her brother's girl is the perfect revenge for all the shit he's put her through and absolutely hilarious.
Absolutely would be funny
Ike is becoming one of my favourites. He's a bit dumb, but he does his best, is empathetic and is tired of people's bullshit.
I think the thing that makes him work so good is while he is dumb he's also very ready to learn whenever given the opportunity. It just makes him so endearing

I know they probably won't, but I desperately want to hear the Bastian/Makalov supports with the Makalov JFK voice. That C support is hilarious and the voice will only elevate it.
Headcanon that it is custom to kiss Muarim on the cheek when saying his name.
makalov has a masters degree in counting chickens before they hatch
I'm really glad you guys continued that Muarim + Ike convo after the accidental skip, because it was really really damn good. I started tearing up.
Jello: Uses Ward Staff
Also Jello: forgets Ward's effect the immediate next turn lmao
Tbf he was on autopilot when he did it
Just started the video. Sure wasn't expecting JFK to dub Makalov lol
Not just any JFK, Clone Highs impersonation of JFK 😅

I'm looking forward to doing a bunch of weird runs like this. I'll probably have to wait until the summer, though.
@@Panroles It's really fun! Though I should probably wait till summer myself, since I've got finals coming up.
NO NOT MAKALOV!!
They do say that to create terror using written words, the less you say, the more terrifying it is and I must say, this is masterclass in storytelling
Every time “Bishop Oliver” is said, I keep thinking of Biscuit Oliva of Baki fame.
Ah, yes finally, the part where the game's story finally takes a leap with Ike's prom -- Nevermind. Also 1:55:00 - GODDAMMIT JELLO! THIS IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE CUTSCENES.
51:01 It was at this moment that Naesala was able to afford a PS5.
Edit: The moment is actually 1:41:40
My brother would play this game a lot and whenever he read the Old Language he did Turkey Gobbles
I think I may be alone in this opinion, but I like Makalov. His general incompetence at being a person amuses me.
That is fine, what isn’t fine is him dating Astrid, I have not yet found someone who thinks they should be together.
@@dustin202 that's true. Being funny isn't worth a character assassination
damn that sure wasn't very smart of all those laguz to come out and attack us in human form
That bag of dust is the same size as a pair of boots, a robe or a coin as they all take up the same inventory space.

Ooooh boy, I ah er um, I cannot- even believe Ike would get MAKALOV! Oooh boi.
Also why the fuck is Stefan.
Naesala as Luck Gandor is such a fun fit.
At 1:17:40 is Will doing the shop theme from Persona 3? I thought he was but Jello takes it another register and I second guess myself
1:17:25 "heal thyself, physician-mage"
I keep thinking, “Oh that sounds like Frank Welker.”
Tis my birthday today and all I wanted to see in my I box was MOAR FIRE EMBLEM!! SO thanks for uploading
Happy birthday!!!
49:40 I like how jello says “Roll him in” instead of “bring him in”
Freudian slip
I'm pretty sure he said that on purpose. As a joke.
@@Robin_Glorb well now I feel dumb

I’m glad that after Makalov they were kinda stuck in JFK mode

I finally found the Astrid/Makalov shipper
I'm playing Path of Radiance for the first time as I watch these and Jello said "I hate Lethe" just as my Lethe crit-ohko'd a guy 😂
Other hilarity includes my Oscar being the MVP of the map where their Oscar was barely able to dent anyone and Soren demonstrating that Yam is right and he is in fact a dodge tank when the RNG will let him be one
After hearing Jello read for Naesala, I really want to hear him do audiobook readings for Baccano.
