I've only played Rekka no Ken.

I have a bit of a love-hate relationship with the game. I have this stupid "no soldier left behind" instinct, so I have to make sure everyone is leveled to the point where they can defend themselves, leaving me with a well-balanced but relatively weak team. It's not like, say, Advance Wars, where every unit is a faceless ship. (at least from what I've played) No, every unit has a face, a name, and a specific function. I simply cannot let anyone die and then continue on without them.

It's stupid, I know.

Another thing is that it's pretty legitimately difficult, and chance can fuck you over pretty bad. And since you're trying to keep everyone alive... Well, yeah. Between that one guy in the fog you didn't see, the critical hit that OHKO's one of your units, or those effing archers against which your Pegasus Knight is completely helpless... I would absolutely detest the game if it weren't so damn fun. Thank you, Nintendo, for creating a torture machine which the victim openly elects to submit themselves to.

It's not stupid. Most FE players that i've seen or heard of try to play it with no character losses. Usually you only accepta  loss if if you're at the end of your tether, having tried a chapter again and again but still not being able to beat it clean.



I agree here. It's not stupid, that's the joy of Fire Emblem for me. Attaching to the characters. @Mr Khan- true, but he's still terrible. Volke is much better. I just put Sothe and Ena at the back, holding fort in front of Rhys or some healer :p
