whew... Im glad i settled for hard then. btw, open question here: ive only played one fire emblem before.. am i right in thinking that arranging it so that my avatar gets most of the exp in the first few battles is good in the long run?

The avatar is so fuckin good you can feed your first few chapters directly into other units and have your avatar still be effective.

Kellam is stupid good if you give him the early XP.

the first 5 chapters are a crapshoot and then you have to use dlc to grind

somehow, marth is the easiest fight in it

I really wish the art wasn't utter poo poo because I want to play the two DS ones

I have trouble in Awakening because you need to grind to an extent on Hard but if you do you overlevel and if you don't it bullshits you in various ways

i wish my fancy ds flash cart w/ a gba emulator would run FE7 because I don't want to carry my original DS lite around with it awkwardly sticking out when I have cool 3ds games

rebecca could dodge the apocalypse which is why she owned

just step back and shoot every turn, have dart hang out too

i'd kill for my rebecca and dart in awakening on the mission where the sea dudes first show up just to watch them chew the army apart

there's some fe8 classes that just plain aren't good that kind of ding the branching promotions a little

palla's weird outfit angle makes it less good but it's a good design aside from that.

it's p hosed up that you can't get chrom and tharja together, i want lucina to live a life with noire as her sister

it'd be cool if you could just hook anyone up but that'd be a lot of support conversations unless they did Radiant AI conversations like the ones in the barracks
