Terper posted:Not so much 'challenge' run, but Awakening: No Second Seals (except Donny I guess if you wanna use him), only classic promotion paths (no Dark Fliers), absolutely no grinding, not even for supports. Also no Manaketes because Nowi and Tiki can solo maps quite easily because of their EXP gain+defense.

The difficulty of FE comes from keeping all your characters alive, it's a very easy series if you treat it X-com style where they are expendable for the greater good.

If we're talking Awakening specifically, the game is designed to make sure you have back-ups upon back-ups even if you never recruit or kill all the possible recruits. They just throw you all these powerful pre-promotes with good stats at you, so that at worst you have Libra, Say'ri, Basilio, and Flavia by the end of the game with their relatively high stats.

The FE8 run was aborted because he had terrible level-ups that it was basically unwinnable with the speedrun team he usually ran.

dude789 posted:Didn't you have to beat the game on normal to unlock the extra characters on subsequent playthroughs or am I misremembering? I'm glad you're giving the game another shot. Radiant Dawn is probably my favorite in the series because I love the way it integrates the plot and the gameplay (3-E is a great example of this). Also 2-E is probably my favorite map in the series. 2 character, one is a regular and the other is a guest in the final stages.

Artificer posted:Fire Emblem: Awakening. I just got the weird lady who turns into a giant mole and murders people, but I've already got plans for my current team. I'm assuming she stays with my party? If she does, I'm torn between playing with the interesting new members and the members I've babied to their current levels and who has relationships with other party members. Any advice? Are there any particularly good characters I should be aware of? I know Donnelly stats up really quickly. If you're overwhelmed now, you need to brace yourself because up until chapter 14 or so, you're getting a new character or two every mission.

Artificer posted:I just checked my wireless thing and I've got a bunch of challenges and maps and spirits I haven't activated yet. As in all of the free ones, I suspect. Is there a particular point at which I should do them? Should I do them all before a certain point? Or are they mostly just good ways of training up units and collecting loot? Spirits? What spirits? The maps you download appear on the map can't be done until after the final chapter opens up.

Artificer posted:Sorry, I meant the Bonus Teams, Items, Maps, and Challengers. Can none of them be done until after the final chapter opens up then? If not, then is there a point where I should look into doing them all or is there no point at which I will miss out on anything if I leave them for another chapter? Only the maps are locked out, everything else is free game anytime.

Sages are squishy, yes. The only tanky spellcasters are Dark Mages and Sorcerers. Also, don't be afraid to use Tonics which basically give +2 to whatever stat you want for the whole mission.

I know Arcadia's bullshit, I use a guide whenever I attempt the map. The tedium of keeping Sophia alive and the extremely slow movement and general FF6 version of difficulty in Hard Mode makes it too much all at once.

No, Roy is useless in practice as well as the LP showed. Roy promotes like 5-6 maps way later than anyone expects to, and it's real dumb when he was already one of the worse units in the game.

FF6 is lovely design because it gives you incredibly difficult Lunatic-levels of bullshit for the first few missions, then gives you the best units in the game because Enemy-Stat bonuses are super dumb in FE6.

Like, I understand if there's a mechanic that actively changes the gameplay but re-classing is completely optional and something that's not required at all for even hard. Pair-up I understand that people want to change, but taking away optional mechanics is dumb.

You literally never have to grind, even on hard. The only time you have to grind is for the final DLC map on its hardest difficulty. Awakening isn't a hard game, you get more than enough EXP by playing it like a non open-world FE game.Jerry Manderbilt posted:Is there any game in the series where the vast majority of characters weren't just totally bland? Maybe I'm saying this because I'm going through FE6 right now where basically Treck and Gonzales are the only halfway interesting ones. As someone that had to write everyone's supports twice, the only real bland characters in Awakening are Kellam, Male Robin, and Say'ri. Everyone else has at least 3 stand-out moments that make them interesting and/or nutso locco.

Radiant Dawn also takes a long time before you're actually allowed to choose a party. What effort you put into Fiona is then put on hold for like a dozen missions before you get her back for a few, then it switches back and forth until basically the end when you can fully choose your party.
