Yeah, but I found that the Endgame chapter was difficult enough, even with a Holsety_Sety leading the charge.In post 224, Fluminator wrote:In Fire Emblem 4, you could create broken characters.
Hence why Lethe is better. Because on most maps you'll be charging through their ranks while Mordecai just waits.In post 224, Fluminator wrote:Also yeah, I'm disappointed Mordecai never starts transformed. The chapter is usually almost complete by the time he's around.
Right.In post 225, chamber wrote:It's not like I'm only using a couple units. Its the full deployment in most campaigns. Its like 10 characters or something not 4.
Then I highly recommend Hard mode."This is the true face of a man who plays paladin."-

How? or why? I was playing with a friend on my machine who had played path of radiance so he helped with some of the details I didn't understand. But otherwise I just didn't understand plenty of story elements?In post 228, Fluminator wrote:Also chamber, my sister told me radiant dawn is literally the path of radiance story directly continued. How did you play radiant dawn first?
And I already do play iron man style, I've lost 2 units. RIP boyd.Taking a break from the site.-

...and that's cheap.In post 217, PJ. wrote:Yeah both PoR and Radiant Dawn are like 90 dollars on ebay.
They removed PoR's Maniac Mode for the US release because IS has to screw at least one major thing up per game. I think the most fun I had with it was when I didn't use bonus experience and only used the last five units recruited.
Another way to screw around with the game was to play a random casualty playthrough - every Chapter a random unit dies.
I mean, the enemy units are actually pretty decent, it's just that yours are way better once they get some training.
...and you haven't even gotten to his best scenes yet.Ranulf is my favorite character
But yes, the worldbuilding and characters in Tellius are by far the best in the series. Come at me FE4.
Laguz Stones are basically made for this. Mordecai's physical durability when transformed is absurd, so etc.Also yeah, I'm disappointed Mordecai never starts transformed. The chapter is usually almost complete by the time he's around.

Yeah PoR is ridiculously easy unless you're on hard mode and then it's "moderate"In post 222, chamber wrote:I've played HHM and I played RD on hard as my very first fire emblem, but I abused the fuck out of royals as much as I could >_>.
I'm at like chapter 18 in path of radiance, and all the guys I consider core (like basically not my theif?) are lvl 3-5 into second promotion outside of ike. I just walk through battles without using any strategy almost. I think I also go a ridiculous Oscar randomly.
If they included Maniac in the U.S. release like they did in Japan's release it would be more playable-

1. Birthright bored me to tears and I stopped halfway through
2. For Conquest (admittedly the best one and the only playable one) I'm stuck on the mission with all the fucking ninjas and other shuriken-armed things
3. Revelations has an ridiculous difficulty spike out of nowhere that only your Avatar can stand up to???

Birthright is unredeemable garbage in every way and the only thing that makes it tolerable is that you can basically skip everything from Chapter 14 on with the MIGHT OF THE LOBSTER GOD. (my tour of the game's awfulness stems from how I'm not doing that)In post 236, Spiffeh wrote:

Conquest is like that Ch. 17, right? That's the first of several levels where being able to hit a certain Def threshold makes the game so much easier (in this case, it's 25, 27, or 29 depending on difficulty).Xander starts with 23 Def, gets 4 from Siegfried, can get another 2 from Defense Tonic, and can get another 4 by holding a Knight or Great Knight (e.g. Effie or Benny). Add Demoiselle from Felicia or Elise for an additional +2. Chivalry is a surplus +2 in case something screws up. I'm pretty sure that stack completely stops him from taking any combat damage from the knife-throwers even after getting debuffed.)
I don't really remember a difficulty spike in Revelation, except Ch. 17, Iago's level. That's pretty much the point where either you're grinding, or the number of viable units shrinks to people with crowns next to their name + Reina + Silas.Last edited by Vi on Sat May 06, 2017 6:39 am, edited 1 time in total.Everything you say and do matters.

Don't remember off the top of my head (it's been like at least 3 months since I've played) but I'll boot it up later today and let you knowIn post 238, Vi wrote:Conquest is like that Ch. 17, right?

I edited my post with something that should help you no matter what your team is. Conquest becomes a lot more fair once you know how to stack stat buffs.In post 240, Spiffeh wrote:

Yeah, and she still gets hosed on the supports~Andrius wrote:Uh BIRTHRIGHT is the only path where you get SCARLET for more than a chapter.
That counts for something.
They even threw in a character who is canonically hot, and it still can't save Hoshido Quest. Only the royal chin armor can carry this experience.Everything you say and do matters. People will respond in ways you may never see. May those responses be what you intend.-

I mean, since I marry her I don't care that she doesn't have other options but, yeah, they really missed an opportunity for the Scarlet/Lobster supports they obviously hinted at.In post 241, Vi wrote:

In my headcanon there are like five people who had the opportunity to join Corrin's party but really wanted to get out of Birthright's plot while they still could, and Flora in particular panicked when she realized that she didn't have any good excuses to blow the heroes off.In post 242, Andrius wrote:"Canonically hot"?

No you're absolutely right the writing in Fates was lazy and Flora's death was stupid.
I continue to be baffled by how little plot-related deaths matter in this game, where every other game they mattered.
I'd be fine with half or even a third of the characters if they actually mattered in the game.
Felicia not mourning the loss of her sister was a missed opportunity."This is the true face of a man who plays paladin."-

In fairness,
*Felicia definitely mourns at the scene, and brings it up in the intro to the next Chapter.
*Fates' roster was basically as small as they could get while still giving each important character two retainers. The only real extras were Charlotte, Nyx, Benny, Shura, and the others who just show up.
The thing about Fates' writing is that it was actually not that badexceptfor the plot and the one-gimmick characters (which, to be fair, was most of it). :/
If they were going to write a shonen anime in video game format I wish they'd had some self-awareness around how difficult it would be to take things seriously.
That's why it's more fun to only refer to the plot by way of memes and shitposting. Actually talking about what happened in any serious way just makes everyone feel bad.Everything you say and do matters. People will respond in ways you may never see. May those responses be what you intend.-
