Question:
isnt normal = hard actuelly in FE RD? (and hard = expert or something like that?)
(or normal US/EU = easy Jp, or normal Jp = hard US/EU or the other way around?)
I have to agree, that the games shouldnt be played on easy or on an "easy" normal,
Val should also be played on hard (really)
Val and FE are just to simple on easy, and like said before, you're not forced to play it like the programmers intended you to play it, meaning, you dont have to really use all or the best possibilitys or try to plan ahead (like said before, on easy you dont have to understand the true depths of the gameplay mechanics and game structure design or at least not till the games maby almost over, and theres no thrill trying to bring everysingle one character to the end of the game)
(but I wouldnt say that Leo isnt as good as Rolf or Shinnon, it can varie, no matter what the tier stats lists say, you just have to push Leo from the beginning, and he's a killer worth it, wont need to push shinnon or rolf)
for anybody who hasnt finished FE RD yet (and loves it), should really really try to get FE Path of Radiance (it works on the Wii, just need a GC controller, not sure about the memory card though...., it really makes the expierience a lot better)
and FE PoR (GC) a great game to, with an advantage (or disadvantage, depending how you look at it), that you can play with each character from beginning to end, they wont be skipping or missing whole chapters like in FE RD, wich can make it a bit easy toward the end, when there maxed out, but it lets you experiment a bit more with diffrent characters (dont have to max them non stop like in FE RD), in FE RD you should (expet on easy) really try to push the "chosen" characters as long as possible, because you cant max then so easy like in FE PoR
wich is also a cool thing about FE in generall, the gameplay ist so need, you have to play with the secondary goal (primary goal is: not one single one character must die), the secondary goal is: max out your chosen Characters (give them as much EXP as possible), that gameplay part dindnt feel so important in Val (because the Fear in FE is around, kowing that the end battle can ripp you to pieces, if your team isnst (at least partially) max out)
have to agree with Kasn216, that if you played every single FE (including some imports), that you can simply get a overdose, expecially since FE games eat up a lot of time
then I can understand, that Val will feel a lot fresher (wich it is in fact)
so if you do intend to play FE Path of Radiance first (wich I can really recommend), then I suggest you take a break from FE, and play Val first for a while, then come back to FE RD
(the only thing that pi....es me off, is that the Press rated the GBA FE's all so great, and gave the GC/Wii Versions bad (or worse) Ratings, even if there cooler...(who gives a f.... on the in game animation grafix, they should be put of anyways....)
becouse of that, the GC/Wii FE's never really sold well (and maby because of the in game fight grafix?), and we just might never see another big (3D) Wii FE again...snif....., so if you havent finished FE RD, really try to get FE PoR and finish it first, theses might be last "big" FE's ever!!!
