I'm quite looking forward to it, especially to see an accurate translation. |

So many of them (myself included...since I was on there when I really wasn't reviewing that well) really don't know how to write, even. BUT the answers has actually been pretty good. o.o |

Personally, strategy isn't my thing so you do whatever you want. |

| Senior Member Join Date: Jul 2001 Location: The state of Denial Gender: Posts: 8,772 Thanks: 75 Thanked 196 Times in 120 Posts | So anyways, a few of the common complaints are justified, but some actually are just people who've been spoiled by all the fire emblems they gave us, since back then, we didn't have all that cool things they gave us. Heck I'd get spoiled too after Radiant Dawn giving us buddies and those god units with three-tiers of promotion. And for Marcus, Seth, Titania, and Sothe actually being pretty good Jeigans (Titania is arguably the best paladin in Radiant Dawn) Jagen meanwhile, DON'T use him. He sucks balls after awhile. They know this and they even put in a house saying "Don't let Jagen do all the work!". (Ironically, I had Jagen go into the house where the person said that) As a note, Marth can enter villages. and he's the one who usually recruits people. It's best assume you should have Marth talk to an enemy unit. If you're starting out in Normal mode, you'll get quite a bit of money and healers gain quite a bit of experience. Especially since you get the Mend and Warp Staves so early. (Warp gives a lot of experience) But one thing I'll tell you is that while normal mode is alright (VERY good for inexperienced players), the harder difficulties are supposed to be a real challenge, and keep in mind that you're practically supposed to lose characters. In fact the only way to get the Gaiden chapters is to have less than 15 characters, and they're really supposed to give you characters since you're doing such a bad job at keeping people alive. And one of the chapters, in order to unlock, requires that you have lost a specific character and DON'T have the falchion...if I recall, you could miss the Falchion in the original version. Makes for a good self-induced challenge, though. It's not exactly a spoiler, but you're gonna have to sacrifice one character in the prologue. This is only really a first impression. I'm not gonna go in-depths for awhile, so far I'm gonna give this game a 7/10...but on my scale, "5" is "average", so that's "good". |

Yes, it's freaking cheesy with its story, yes it sucks about not having godly units. BUT IT'S STILL A GREAT TACTICS GAME OKAY? *Sob* |
