fire emblem the sacred stones chapter 15 (colorised)

Digitized all the pages from the Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones comic! These are advertising for the game from Gamepro magazine issue 202. Transcription in alt txt!

Additionally, there's one more page (archived courtesy of the Fire Emblem Wars of Dragons fansite) with Valter and OOC Glen:

Eirika Mode Chapter 13, Hamill Canyon, begins with Valter delivering Glen's mangled corpse to Cormag.

Valter: Glen's last orders were to find and subdue Eirika. 'Tis a pity I was delayed. I arrived to witness the final blow myself. I watched Eirika run her blade right through his chest and then flee.

As it turns out, the English script changed Valter's line. Perhaps because they thought the Japanese script made a mistake, or because the line seemed a little too unbelievable to the audience, because what the original text said was...

グレンは陛下の命を受けエイリーク一行の討伐に向かった。(At His Majesty's command, Glen went to subjugate Eirika and her forces.) 俺が追いついた時には決着はついていた。(It was over by the time I caught up.) エイリークは槍でグレンの胸を貫きその場から逃げ去った。(Eirika ran her spear through Glen's chest and then fled.)

In the official FE8 Novelization (specifically, Chapter 12), this discrepancy in Eirika's weapon of choice is one of the clues which convinces Cormag that Eirika isn't lying to him, and that Valter was the one who did the deed.

While looking through some Japanese FE8 guides/resources, I found that for several reasons -- this scene among them -- Valter is considered a joke character (dare I say, "a fraud"?) among JP players, since he actively works in ways which sabotage Grado's cause and then is a chump of a boss on top of that.
