I know for FE12 picking anything but normal disabled tutorials. Go to the settings menu and disable them, or go to the tutorials menu and view them all, or play on Hard difficulty or higher.

According to Serenes Forest, the OST for the game will be out in a few months time, 27th March. It's not been officially confirmed, but it seems likely at this point. It will have 5 discs, 4 with all the music (92 tracks) and the fifth one will have the voices and other stuff. In Japan, obviously. Terper fucked around with this message at 16:21 on Jan 26, 2013 |

Based on the Demo, the enemies in Hard aren't really any stronger than Normal, but there are more of them. The jump to Lunatic seems to double enemy stats, though, and give It feels a bit strange, constantly backing off and drawing fire back to where I can deal with it, vs. rushing in and being able to 1-2 Play the enemy between Chrom's sword and The Avatar's magic, and not lose Lissa to a single attack. I'll probably play Hard-Classic in the full game, since I imagine the challenge will ramp up after awhile, and I do want to keep most of my hair, but the Demo's jump between Normal to Hard is not nearly as dramatic as the jump between Hard to Lunatic. I can only imagine what Insane is like. I assume it's Lunatic stats plus double the enemy count, but it may be worse! HackensackBackpack fucked around with this message at 01:25 on Jan 27, 2013 |

No, enemies get stronger on Hard for certain. It's just a more straightforward ramping up.

Lunatic and Insane probably has the smallest jump in difficulty. Insane just gives enemies special skills, some of which always activate.

One other important difference between Normal and Hard is that on Hard, enemy reinforcements will move the same turn they arrive.

Reinforcements always show up in pretty obvious places. Don't leave your healer in the middle of a bunch of unguarded fortresses or at least camp some guys on top of them if you have to do that.

Endorph posted:rear end in a top hat reinforcements aren't that bad. Don't get me wrong, they're annoying, but there are very few situations where reinforcements don't come from either the edge of the map, a fortress, or behind the boss. To be fair "edge of the map" becomes a pretty nebulous distinction when 10 move dracoknights and 12 move dragons enter the picture in FE12. vvvvv They also get 2 range on lunatic and above so that 12 move ends up equaling 14 range. That's fun to plan around! Perfect Potato fucked around with this message at 22:14 on Jan 26, 2013 |

I don't know when the hell did rear end in a top hat reinforcements became a thing. If Hector Hard Mode had instant turn reinforcements, I would've broken about 4 GBA's by now.

Yeah, in FE6 I remember Dragon Rider reinforcements showing up smack dab in the middle of the map, right on top of some mountains, and it was kinda bullshit.

That's good to hear, I like the idea of reinforcements moving when they appear because it encourages being cautious and setting up formations at all times, but that depends on them being placed logically and fairly.

It was pretty stupid, yeah. Most maps had several forts that seemed to serve no real purpose and were obviously reinforcement spawn points -- except reinforcement triggers were completely arbitrary so you had to either take careful baby steps through the map or plug the fortresses and lose a bunch of experience. Worse, sometimes the reinforcements came from less conspicuous fortresses, like ones you'd use as choke points or for defensive walls. The one map against the Fire Clan with a bunch of red dragons was awful for this: you'd take one step too many towards the boss and, surprise, 6-8 reinforcement units spawn on top of your army and right behind it. FE12 had a bunch of weird triggers honestly, like these Dracoknights on the third map who absolutely refuse to come off their mountain perch or move at all on normal/hard unless you dare to try to shop at the armory.

FE6 is the only one I've played with rear end in a top hat reinforcements and it was awful (the reinforcements, I liked the game as a whole well enough otherwise). At least that settles my dilemma of whether I should try Hard mode in Awakening or not.

The biggest problem with reinforcements in 6 is that the maps just aren't large enough for them to be fair regardless of where they spawn. I'm curious how a rule that reinforcements can move but not attack when they spawn would play. Ideally reinforcement location and timing would be sane enough that this wouldn't actually be noticable in practice. Dragons up in your grill are cool, but getting sniped from nowhere is not.

Yeah there were 6 on the right side on lunatic and only three moved. I was confused about their trigger when I got the other 3 to advance a couple times till I realized they only ever went after my army when I had Palla engage the master seal Dracoknight on the other side of the loving map. Everything about 12's hard modes are weird and arbitrary.

Well, they do say in one of the houses that the armory is in cahoots with the bad guys, but I always cleared the Wyverns before hitting the armory and was confused why there were no reinforcements or anything. Now I understand what they really meant.

It's like every game needs one map that's a clusterfuck of terrible design. Unfortunate that 12's is so early in the game, but at least it's not as bad as Battle Before Dawn.

I mean, yeah, I knew they attacked if you got close, that's what I did. And on Lunatic they'll attack if anyone is in range of them. I always just thought the guy who says "the armory here is in cahoots with the enemy" was making stuff up.

Neat fact on that. If you merely look into the armory and then cancel out with 'b', they still activate. This allows you to pull them into you and engage on your terms.
