However, my Ike's team is ****in' awesome and is actually fun to play with! Whenever I need to do a mission with Micaiah again, I feel myself enjoying the game far less. God, even my Mist could probably solo my Micaiah's army... >_<

Anyways, 3-13 really isn't that hard. As a matter of fact, if you don't have any good units, keep them behind the green line and depend on the ballistas and Micaiah's Purge to prevent the hawks from trespassing the line. Doing this, it isn't hard to persevere.

Fire Emblem (Blazing Sword, FE7) - GBA
Fire Emblem: Sacred Stones (FE8) - GBA
Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance (FE9) - Gamecube
Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn (FE10) - Wii.
FE6 also can be played in english via Emulator, but unless you have the japanese FE6, it is illegal to possess the ROM for more than 24 hours. That being said, I've had the ROM on my computer for a few years..

The characters look a lot more personal in RD (like mounted characters don't always wear helmets anymore) and the battles are more lively in RD. That, and some character's backgrounds (like Ashnard, the Black Knight and Sephrian) are reveiled in RD that sort of ruin their apperance in PoR.
Anyways, I'm in Chapter 4-1 now. I play this game too fast... T_T Don't wanna complete it yet.

What about a real-time based strategy RPG? Imagine if each character in Fire Emblem was in command of a "unit" of actual troops, and you actually had entire armies clashing. It wouldn't work well if it was turn-based, because it would take a long time to move and attack with so many troops, but if it was real-time and you can select where the entire unit of troops go (each one led by an actual character), I think it would be pretty neat.
#2652
Posted 11 May 2008 - 03:03 PM
Maybe if you were able to comand the troops, but from a first person view? i.e. you'd see it through Ike's eyes, and you'd direct your troops to do things while you yourself would be running around and killing people.

The Earth affinity is, by far, the best affinity in the game because of it's great Avoid bonus.
-When Earth is paired with Fire, Heaven, Light, or Water, the units gain +7.5 Avoid for each support level.
-When Earth is paired with Dark, Lightning, or Win, the units gain +10 Avoid for each support level.
-When Earth is paired with Earth, the units gain +15 Avoid for each support level.
When two units who support each other both have the Earth affinity, their rank A support with grant them a +45 Avoid bonus, which is extremely awesome. There is absolutely no affinity better than Earth.
Also, yes, the Weapon Triangle essentially disappears in Hard mode.

I had spent a LOT of time in the Tower of Valni (or whatever it was called) leveling up two of my three underclass units (the ones that have two class changes instead of one). Thanks to that, I had a level 10 berserker with a killer axe (or battle axe, or

Sacred Stones is my least favorite FE game that I've played, partly because it's just way too easy. Hell, even Seth turns out to be a kickass unit at the end.

Ah, that level was nice. If you decided to hold out and defend the whole 15 turns instead of going after Ludveck, you got a good bit of experience.
By the way, now watch the game get a lot easier as Ike and the Greil Mercenaries kill everything.

Overall, I had a lot of fun with it, I certainly liked it more than PoR(the only other FE game I've played). Better class and weapon availability, a ****load of playable chars. and chapters, a story ten times better than that of PoR... Still, I definitely disliked some things about RD.
For instance, the biggest problem about it is the absence of the old supports. I loved the PoR supports... That's what made that game good, while what makes RD good in my eyes is the much improved quality of the chapters.
Next up, it was really quite easy, mainly because of Battle Save, but also because all characters join you with HUGE stats and weapon levels, and they can pretty much all max all of their stats.
I also really disliked that so many of the old characters were playable, and the only one who wasn't was one of my old favourites, Largo! They could have had him as a Warrior or something, since they obviously dislike the (amazing)Berserker class so much, but noooooo, they had to go ahead and have ALL SIX of the old Paladins playable, ALL FOUR of the Swordmasters, and even have all pf the crappy hawks back, not to mention the completely unnecessary Giffca! Jeez...
Oh, and absolutely no character development. That kinda ties in with my support moan...
Can anyone link me to a site with character body sprites(y'know, the ones when they're talking) ripped from the game?

On the topic of Kurthy, I don't know, I visit a rather 4chan-esque Fire Emblem board where everyone is close-minded about what characters to use; I've developed a habit of only using Ike + Tibarn supported (rescue Micaiah with Tibarn, he has saviour) for the first chapter of the tower. For the second, put Tibarn at the top of the wall and Ike at the bottom of the wall so they can support and pwn BK with ranged attacks. Solo part 3 with Kurth and Ena. Chapter 4 and 5 just have fun with your royals and Ike (I bring Caineghis occasionally).
#2714
Posted 02 August 2008 - 01:13 PM
1) I send two units to the right and two units to the left to take care of the enemies there. As for the main path, I send strong units to form a single file line that blocks the Generals' way as my units advance. I have Micaiah on hand with a Restore staff to cure Sleep in anyone is affected. It's a fairly easy chapter; plus, you get the Double Bow, which makes your Marksman rape. <3
2) Have you tried giving Ike a Hammer? Max Strength allows him to deal 33 damage per hit on the BK compared to the 15 with Ragnell. Take the Wishblade from Levail before it's too late and kill the BK. Either that or you can stall the BK while your other units rack up experience.
3) Lol, blessed weapons FTW. If Soren and Micaiah have blessed Blizzard and Purge, respectively, then the Red Dragons get pwn'd easily. Physical attacks wreck White Dragons themselves. As for the boss, a Marksman, Ike, and two other powerful units (Maybe one of them with Dragonfoe) can murder him.
4) Super easy. The spirits are a joke and so is the boss.
5) You can beat this stage in four turns. Have

Well I've been working on two (one with random stats, one with fixed) to see how my characters fair in the end. I got to chapter 20 on one of them, so I decided to work on the other.
I just solo'd chapter 8 with Ike at lvl13. I only had to use a vulnerary once, as he dodged litterally 90% of all attacks. He was at level 18 by the time all was said and done.
I'm going to do it over with more characters though. Ike really doesn't need the exp.

Oh, you also get to read all of the old support conversation whenever you like, but you will probably have one look at them and never approach them again.

Regardless, you can laugh if you want, but I'm stuck on a chapter in RD, and if Rolf, Lethe, and a few others had better stats, it would be so much easier.

And I can't remember. It's one of the chapters with the Greil Mercenaries. the one where you've just infiltrated some enemy camp, and you have to rout the enemy. It's in the dark, so you have to light the posts to get better visibility.
Lethe and Lyre join you as well.
There's also a few houses that you can visit.

I know what chapter you're talking about; it took me like 4 restarts due to various people coming from the dark and killing a unit. I don't remember exactly what I did in the end, but knowing me I just boxed in my weaker units and progressed slowly through the map.

But someone (usually Rolf, Boyd, or Lyre, iirc) always ends up dieing. Or I can't kill them fast enough. Or something.
And I find that if I let Ike get too much exp, my other units don't get enough, so they suck, and I have to send Ike out more to take care of things. But w/e
