He's far more qualified to be in this discussion than you who have no experience with Valkyria Chronicles whatsoever, whereas he has actually played both and made a decision that he doesn't like one as much. Fire Emblem is certainly not harder on Easy, and Valkyria Chronicles' hard difficulty is harder than Fire Emblem on normal. As far as actual strategy and tactics go, Valkyria Chronicles offers all sorts of layers of depth that Fire Emblem doesn't touch with its relatively simple and completely unchanging gameplay formula. Yes, it's brutal within those limits, but only because they kill you for a single mistake within a simple set of rules. VC has a large set of strategic options available, and while you can fail and lose your characters you aren't forced to play a map completely formulaically to stand any chance of survival. Rather the game actually offers a diverse amount of tactical options for multiple play styles. |
I couldn't disagree more Naz.
Valkria chronciles is a walk in the park compaired to Radiant Dawn.
VC is poorly unbalanced in that the Computer doesn't really play on a level playing field as you. The player in fact has the advantage because the computer pretty much never makes proper use of it's additional action tokens.
It also isn't any more deep tacitcs wise... I don't know where your getting that from. Stuff like the mortar fire is stuff that exists in Fire Emblem actually. The Arablests to be exact.
The only real "difference" that you could call more deep is the medal system lets you "cheat" a bit.
