Fire Emblem Binding Blade: Idun edited into a proper final boss

This is how a final boss should be.

[@centisaur]

my favorite part about idun is that when you turn on hard mode all she gets is 1 extra hp

[@justsomespaghetti4368]

No way lmao

[@_abaddon_2681]

Zephiel also gets only 1 additional hp on hard mode.

[@DrewPicklesTheDark]

It's since hard mode enemy bonuses are based on class growths, and the dark dragon and king classes have 0% in all stats except HP which is 10%.

[@butteredsalmonella]

After all that suffering and sadism everyone experienced in FE6, Idun being a joke final boss is the best reward this game could've given. (I swear those Wyvern Riders in chapter 7 still haunts me.)

[@Honeybarbecuepumpum]

I know this is a really really old video, but if you actually pay attention to the conversations in the game you realized it story-wise she was actually supposed to be weak. When harmut found her 1,000 years ago during the scouring, she actually was weak and he pitied her and steal her away so she's not supposed to be this imposing superboss, you're supposed to feel sorry for her. That's the way how the story is designed so this desire to turn her into this all destroying force is basically going against The Narrative of the actual storytelling, she was made weak on purpose.

[@toolofthelord]

>the map is SUPPOSED to be designed badly!

[@yellowthere3985]

@@toolofthelord ikr, I get the argument for gameplay-story coherence but even then there should be something making it less of a joke. my spitball idea is to have several bosses similar to fe7 where they each have a "legendary" weapon that gives stat boosts on top of fe6 enemies' already high stats. not perfect, but there should at the very least be something to make the map more challenging.

[@AnchorOfTime]

[@orgil279]

I find the ending anti-climatic in the original game needing only 1 attack with the binding blade. It would've been cool if the boss also have capability of regenerating its hp so the fight last longer

[@stygiandragon3865]

This is probably why The Black Dragon, King Dheginsea(Or most big bosses in the Tellius games) Regain HP every turn.

[@voltron77]

Yeah but at the same time, Idunn was supposed to be weak for a very good reason. I think this ending fits fe6 pretty well. After all the trouble, all the fights, you finally get rewarded with the satisfaction of giving Idunn a second chance.

[@legacyprimo353]

I think the best way for it to improve is to add more enemies from the start, not just as new reinforcements, but more enemies from the start with the same small final map, that way, it won't be easy to just cheese through

[@butteredsalmonella]

I think the problems with this chapter (and the previous one) is that the only enemy "Dragons" you've been fighting (since Chapter 12) are the same class, Manaketes with 1 Range and no variety whatsoever. Wish there's more classes of Dragons than just the regular Fire one. Ice Dragons and even Wyverns from Fe12. As for the enemies blocking the way to Idun so as she wouldn't get 1-Turned, wouldn't it be a stretch to fight something like Generals? Manaketes turned human and wearing human armor to fight, or Wyvern Lords, turned human and fighting alongside their breathen.

[@hahanicebroskie]

Piglet dragon wins my heart.

[@portalguy2246]

[@claytoniusdoesthings9598]

So from what I understand, Idunn was originally going to be extremely hard. Anything other than the Binding Blade couldn't even hurt her, and if the player broke it early on, it would be near impossible to win without GameShark codes. Not to mention dark breath was a one hit kill on all but the toughest units. Ultimately, the developers ended up gutting her into the state we now know.

[@perr0263]

I think we should thank Athos, because his stats and his unbreakable Forblaze allowed IS to make a super-tanky final boss in Blazing Sword

[@Aisubun]

Considering how much of a bitch it is to get this game's true ending I'll take that mercy

[@airielhaikal696]

FE8 should be this hard tbh

[@lyricalmage]

@Aisubun wasn't it just getting all the weapons from the scouring? It wasn't that hard. Blazing sword is harder because it can only be achieved in Hector mode.

[@masakatsu1233]

If a binding blade remake ever comes out, they should give Idun 1000 hp or something. (There will probably be plenty of ridiculous skills and stuff to dish out a lot of damage anyways)

[@DiogoJ1]

Or they can simply give her 100 HP and Dragonskin, one which reduces damage by 75%.

[@xxx_jim_the_reaper_xxx]

@@DiogoJ1 That would be gamebreaking because the Divine Weapons only has 15 Might. Gonzalez's MAX Strength is 30 and MAX Damage is 45. If you reduced that further, Gonzalez becomes a bad unit. Only Sophia and Lilina can dish out damage using Magic.

[@DiogoJ1]

No, I didn't. I don't see the point of making it unbreakable, since it has enough uses for the rest of the game. Besides, the weapon is ridiculously powerfull and make it's uses limited ensures that it won't solo the rest of the game. If it was 1 range weapon or have very low MT, that would be one reason to make it an unbreakable weapon like the Falchion.

Firstly: why are you using Sophia and Wolt? Secondly: Idunn isn't supposed to be a typical final boss. I think you're missing the point of the story that's trying to be told here. Idunn is only acting on Zephiel's will, and she doesn't know what to do on her own besides trying to stop them. If anything Zephiel is the true climactic encounter. He's the one who started everything and the one who the heroes need to take down. Making her into a more challenging fight is fine, but claiming "this is how a final boss should be" is kind of presumptious.

[@DiogoJ1]

1st: Because they are good in my hack. Iduun wasn't the only change I made. 2nd: Except she clearly states that she intends to prevent Roy from stopping her, with him even commenting on how strong willed she is.
