Yes, normal would probably be a bit too easy for you. Casual/Classic is up to you.

Probably, people have complained normal is too easy.
People have also complained that hard is too easy though (and really, it is).

Anybody here getting this? If they release the English version I will get it with all the force in a 10 Richter Earthquake. I very much doubt it though
Fire Emblem Awakening Drama CD released on April 24th for 3000 yen:
This Drama CD could bring the shipping wars to a whole new level. Amazing.

Not counting DLC or postgame spotpass maps, the game pretty much has an inverse difficulty curve really. Mostly because of how overpowered you get with time.
I've had it since pretty much release and still haven't finished. I was planning to see if I could run it on Dolphin on my laptop and then do a fresh playthrough, so maybe.
I honestly think the veteran skill is what breaks the game. If you take that off the main character would be a decent unit, but with it's gamebreaking because he's the first character you get.

Not PoR, but I have been craving to do a RD run since the game's release.

Hard becomes a lot more frustrating if you compulsively try to keep all your recruited units at about the same level.
It depends on whether you use Pairing Up a lot. I'm up to Chapter 7 on Hard and have used that ability maybe 3 times.

Well, to be fair, most games are probably frustrating if you play them incorrectly
And I have been seriously thinking about hitting up PoR + RD. I need to finish FE12 instead if I am going to play another FE game though. Wonder how those work on Dolphin.
Ok, will start the game on hard then.
In my experience you never do that in FE, I just focus on 12-15 characters in a playthrough

Wow, I could not bring myself to do that, I want to save everyone else!
My last PoR+RD playthrough was on dolphin, works pretty well except for sound issues sometimes for RD. I had the music playing twice with a delay and sometimes every sound file from the game started to play one after the other randomly. Was kinda spooky the first time :lol:
Didn't bother to find how to fix that though
And savestates are godly!

Gregor is awesome.
One of my favorite characters. I love the cheesy Russian accent."Is that big, Legendary weapon, or are you just glad to see Gregor?"
Gregor is awesome.
And he's the perfect dad for Gerome!

Now there's way too many previously fought battles to go through to bother saving him.
Eh, maybe I'll include him if I do a 2nd run.

I'm thinking about the game kind of differently. An A team of the main cast I want to use for story then a B team for the occasional skirmish (which I only do for the money...eventually I should have a Leifs Blade and high enough luck to enjoy that). Occasionally one team will apear in the other but I think that keeps grinding the story cast down while being able to level up the other units.
As for pair up. I think its the support bonuses that break it. Maybe if dual strike/guard were skills (or maybe even like how they work in say, Super Robot Taisen OG) and the supports were more GBA like in stats given it would be slightly less imbalanced.
I do like the pair concept of being able to compliment a units weaknesses or argument their strengths.

Each series of FE games has its own AI quirks, but this is generally how it goes.
The DS games were a bit different.
Are they Marth? -> Are they squishy? -> Kill squishy
Seriously guys, stop impaling yourselves on Linde when there's a low-level guy I need to train.
This game kind of makes me a little paralyzed with indecision. So many options. The pairings and marriages, the classes and reclasses, the fights to pick on the map...
I'm looking at my avatar, he's probably the strongest unit in the army right now, maybe excluding Anna, and he's nearing 20, so do I Master Seal him to grandmaster or do I reclass him to something else to grab some skills first? I'm not planning on going to DLC crazy until I've done the story, but still, Golden Gaffe's coming up in a few days, so I can afford more Second Seals easily soon. But there are so many nice skills to pick up. Armsthrift, Lifetaker, Swordfaire, Tomefaire, Astra, Lethality, Sol, Luna, Rally Spectrum, Ignis... And I'm probably missing some good ones, too. I think I want him to end as a Grandmaster or Dark Knight. But Grandmaster just seems... right.
At least some of the other characters have a fairly straightforward path. Thinking Lissa going War Cleric for Renewal, then jumping to Dark Flier (maybe through Pegasus Knight first) for Galeforce or Valkyrie for Dual Support+. Was thinking Sage, but they don't get much useful skill-wise for her. Maybe as an end-class, I'd like her to be able to use staves. Or maybe Falcon Knight, but then she has to learn more weapons.
You have to be 20/20 to jump directly from War Cleric to Dark Flier, right?
Oh, can the children of the Avatar, in case there's a sibling, all use every non-special or gender locked class in the game?

Just have to be 10 promoted to go from promoted class to promoted class.
Lissa's best end game class is probably Sage, because it has the highest magic cap and that's her strong point.
And yes, that's why the Avatar is the best parent in the the game (also because you can give the avatar the perfect bonus stat allocation).

You can slap a Seraphim Robe to make up for the HP deficit.
I wish there was a mode that Game Overs you when you lose a character.
Really frustating to have to wait until your other characters level up and stuff
Sometimes I forget to permute, "haha come here you bastards, wait no Shiiiiiiit"

Probably flaw as luck and asset as either magic or strength depending on which you are going to lean toward. Given magic(/dark magic) is so good in this game magic/luck is probably the best choice.
And HP as a flaw does lower the growth rate, by 15.

You don't have to wait, just soft reset. L + R + select + start.I wish there was a mode that Game Overs you when you lose a character.

Then don't wait. Press L+R+Start and reset back to the main menu. Soft reset and Fire Emblem. Two things that have gone together for a long time.I wish there was a mode that Game Overs you when you lose a character.

Oh man, I forgot this came out today. I want to import it, but I don't think I will. I'm looking forward to more details from people who get this, though.
Just recruited Anna. That map was a biggie, many enemies, too! I didn't have any problems though. Got every treasure except one as an enemy Thief snatched it and fled When I finished the map I suddenly had FOUR Anna merchants on the world map. Two had Master Seals, one had Second Seal. Bought em all
I really like Anna and Libra. They just destroy everything in their way. Haven't used Tharja yet. And I haven't used Gaius at all I feel bad

I wanted to use Gaius as I share a similar sweet tooth, but he came at a bad time when he didn't have much of a role to fill, ah well maybe next playthrough.
Damn all of my marriages are giving me maps that are too tough for me to tackle and the current strory chapters are really piling in the hard hitting silver weapons, at this point the difference between a unit alone and a paired up duo with high support is feeling pretty significant.

You get an item, experience, weapon experience, or if you are on it with a pair of units they can improve their relationship.
Your characters may sometimes find items, gain some experience, gain weapon proficiency, or if they're paired up, they may have a conversation to raise they're support levels

Surprised to hear you say that. Fire Emblem games encourage you to develop relationships across their large casts of unique characters; how else to build support for them all but keep them all at viable levels throughout the game?

Maybe we played different games? The FE games I know encourage me to play with a selected group of characters from the main cast. Having all of them viable all the times? Nope.
