Part 60: Chapter 2 (Aullewyn Keep) Sacrifices

Chapter 2 (Aullewyn Keep) Sacrifices







Biflindi, or Odin, the All-Father.

Biflindi's Shield is in opposition to Natalia's skill, which halves all enemies' RDM; Biflindi's Shield instead halves their ATK. This is a similarly poor skill; Sap Power or Guard Reinforce are almost always more efficient, and this skill has no use against Sorcerers.



This power... is it mine to wield?

And that makes Heugoe and Auguste the only characters to realize Wylfred's hand in their feather-induced death. Truly the best characters.

Heugoe Voice Collection

Heugoe's voice is provided by Akio Ohtsuka, who has a role in many prominent anime roles. Some video game characters you might recognize under his belt are Gabranth from Final Fantasy XII, Solid Snake from the Metal Gear series, and Seth from Street Fighter IV.

His English VA is Travis Willingham, which might surprise those who know him as Theo from Persona 3 Portable or Knuckles from Sonic. Other roles he's done include Roy Mustang from Fullmetal Alchemist and Relius Clover from BlazBlue: Continuum Shift.

The twins have differing scenes, so let's start with Mischka.

Jotun, the frost giants.

Avalanche of the Jotun is odd in that it's almost like Gleipnir's Bonds, except... not. It freezes all non-human enemies (excluding leaders)for three rounds. On a map without humans, it's just as good as Gleipnir's Bonds, and we know how good that is. Otherwise it's either partially useful or useless, depending on how many monsters there are.



Ahahaha! This never happened before!

I'll be right there, don't wait up for me! ...Wylfred.

...Hm?

I can't make it... I think... I did... too much...



I understand.





Mischka Voice Collection

Another Japanese VA only here. Mischka is voiced by Rie Kugimiya, likely most recognized as her role as Rise Kujikawa from Persona 4, as well as fellow twins Palom and Porom in the DS remake of Final Fantasy IV. She also voices Mireille in Valkyrie Profile: Covenant of the Plume.

Ratatoskr, the squirrel messenger.

Ratatoskr's Scandal is the only skill aside from Duwain's to cost a full 100 AP, and it halves the health of all units, friend or foe, except leaders and the caster. Potentially useful depending on the map, as you can just heal yourself up afterwards while most enemies only Heal when they're on very low life.



Huh? Hehehe! I don't know what's come over me!

Let me take a nap... But don't forget... To wake me...



Mireille Voice Collection

Another Japanese VA only here. Mischka is voiced by Rie Kugimiya, likely most recognized as her role as Rise Kujikawa from Persona 4, as well as fellow twins Porom and Palom in the DS remake of Final Fantasy IV. She also voices Mischka in Valkyrie Profile: Covenant of the Plume.

And here are the scenes if you sacrifice Mireille first.

...Mischka... I'm sorry...



Wake up! Wake up! It's not safe out here!

I'm afraid your sister can't wake up, Mischka...

What are you talking about? Of course she can! Show him, Mireille!

Ahahaha! Ahahaha! Aha...ha...ha- why is it... stopping?
