All those skills and reclassing suck the fun out of the game. Even if you don't really do any of these things, the game is still heavily imbalanced because of them. Not that previous FE games had a perfect difficulty curve at all times, but finite resources made the entire experience much better than Awakening's approach.

Quite, over grinding kills the game's diffuclty.  I won't lie tho, I grind all my planned characters on Lunatic about 5 levels after Chapter 4 from the DLC cause of relying solely on Chrom/Fredrick at the start.

But for some reaon people feel the need for their characters to maxed out as soon as possible.....

Even on Normal : /

I guess it makes them feel that they have developed great strategies, because they're winning with ease.

Winning with ease isn't that difficult, even without any amount of grinding, at least on Hard. I'm running two files, one for maxing out everything and another as barebones as possible, and on that one, i'm already at chapter 11 too and I haven't promoted a single unit. 

It'll probably be a different beast for Lunatic, but as difficulty goes, this FE isn't as hard as Fire Emblem GBA and Sacred Stones (haven't played the DS one, sadly).

Cause, um, you know, it's FUN! Maybe it's not to you but it most certainly is for other people. I'm pretty sure I've explained numerous times already and though you refuse to respond I bet you read those post so the real question is why do you keep going on about this especially when how other people enjoy the game has no affect on you.



Is there any real reason to make Morgan NOT a Grandmaster? She's so much better than MU, and Rainbow Rally is amazing!



 

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.

I just like high difficulty, just a pet peeve of mine of things being too easy.

I really only have 1 Morgan (third file)....

Strategist->Mage/Sage->Swordmaster->Grandmaster
Lifetaker/Ignis/Aggressor/Swordfaire/Tombfaire

Depends on how you want to use him/her. Since I pick my MU as a magic asset and strength flaw, going full mage (sage, sorcerer) grants me with higher damage output from tomes/dark tomes and as a Sage I can also support/heal. Also, you can use Rally Spectrum as any class once you learn the skill.

If you're looking for a much more all-around character, then Grandmaster is definitely the way to goo. It's got good stat spreads (everything at or above 40 for Morgan) and being able to use both a Sword and a Tome is a plus, thanks to Ignis.

Henry or Tharja as a parent here? And no Rainbow Rally? Surprising. I'd probably change Aggressor for that (Ignis activates too much. My Noire has 50 Skill, so Vengeance ALWAYS activates)

And although she's only Level 9, almost every single stat is the same (30). That's level increase! But HP is like 70 or something ridiculous.

Yes, Rally Spectrum is the one I meant. But yeah, I like the Grandmaster class, I think my Owain can also be a Grandmaster? But I saw no real benefit to it. Perhaps after finishing the Swordmaster class I'll change him to it.

Oh, and Griffon Knight or Wyvern Lord?

Nope, Anna. 

I actually switch Rally Spectrum out with Aggressor here and there.  If its a map where the entire steam sticks together then I go Aggressor, if we split into groups then Rally Spectrum.
