Nintendo - Is it just me... - View Post

The mechanics are interesting, which is why I love the franchise so much...it's just also doubly hard when a single little mistake has the potential to ruin a perfect 60+ hour playthrough, which is what kills me. Though again...it really comes down to what you can handle. I just don't think there's any shame in taking another attempt to keep your favorite units alive, just with a different plan of attack. Trial and Error have been my best friends in getting acquainted with this particular genre.

The last 3DS title gave you tons of characters, so your style of playthrough should be fine...just keep in mind that units that join later in the game usually tend to be weaker than equivalent characters that joined earlier but were trained up. If you were to compare it to..say Pokemon, it's like if you lost a Pidgey on a Nuzlocke challenge before it evolved, and the only flying type you had access to for the rest of the game was a Far'fetchd. Very extreme example...but it's a real shame to lose all that potential when your replacement is so underpowered in comparison.

Though I'm not a real Pokemon expert...so maybe that comparison doesn't make sense. :P

No, that's fair! Thank you!
