Gross, Meg.....

I restarted whenever I lost someone on my first playthrough. When I played through again on Hard Mode though there were some levels where I had to let people die. I either had to use them as a meat shield so someone else could live or they would rescue someone and die protecting them. Some levels I even lost multiple allies. By the end game I only had 1 of the 3 Heron left on my team and only I small handful of maxxed out characters. I lost quite a few people by the end but only 1 during the actual endgame and only while fighting the last boss.

I finished my first play through last night top character was Rolf.

I then got stuck into hard mode I have only done the first few missions. I am still not sure how important bio rhymes are. To be honest I hardly ever look at them is it something I should look at more?

Quilex:

Congrats on your playthrough! Quite an uncommon way if I may say so. I always restart whenever I lose someone.
Same for oyvoyvoy: only 5 members in Tibarns team??? I hope you managed to recruit Volke, he's awesome.

Thanks for the info Crabmaster. I want to do a complete PoR/RD playthrough but I don't have time for it right now.
Mario Kart also keeps me busy, but that can be laid aside after an hour, in RD you don't even finish 1 battle in an hour.

I havent played in a bit, but I think am a unique player in the sense that...

I let Rolf die

I let Ike's Sister ( I think ) die

Haar is dead, Mia is dead, Zulk( something or other) dead many more all dead.

I personaly dont care as long as my 2 big armor dudes are trucking it and my healer behind them is safe. Not finished the game yet, just at the point where Ike and the Animal guys are fighting the other human kingdom, and the White haired girl is now fighting Ike for some reason...... >.>

 No joke I really like the game, but typing this out makes me feel as if I should maybe go back and fire that game up again.

Wow, a Brom user.  Strange.  I'd be interested to know how endgame goes for you.  ^_^

I used Brom during my first playthrough. Hes great on every level except the big desert one near the end because he has no movement what so ever because of his size. If you have an A support with someone he works well at just blockading enemies because of his defense. The guy is hard to kill.

I was playing Smash Bros after I finished Fire Emblem and it just didnt do it for me. So I put in Elebits (which I just got) and that didnt do it for me. I went through about 4 games and then just put PoR back in and started a new game. I havnt really played a SRPG before and I really have the urge to play more. Does anyone have any recommendations besides the GBA Fire Emblems (because I already plan on getting those now). I've heard Ogre Battle for the SNES, PS1 and N64 are all good and also Brigadine for PS1. And I've heard good things about Jeanne'arc (probably spelt that wrong) for the PSP.

You could try the Shinning Force games on VC there are from the mega drive era. Really great SRPG.

I`m right now In Part 3 i think chapter 6?? I just finished first Dawn prigades attack towards Laguz..
The game is superb,so far all the character are alive.on normal.
The plot is starting to get serious..The plot is better than path of radiance..

I wonder that because POR the group was as one and RD the group is separated..I dont`t know is it a good thing..What do you think?

Yeah I really liked it a lot. It gives a lot of different opportunities to have different teams. Also to see the story from different angles is nice. Important tip: you can kill the members of the other party when you have to fight them without having them killed. I didn't know that, so I tried to save them, which was a waste of effort andEXP.

I must atmit that in the end most of my best members where from the Greill Mercenaries. Also the characters from the Dawn brigade are a little less developed (besides Sothe and Micaiah) and less interesting.   

I only had 2 characters from the Greil Merchanaries in the end I believe.

I use the people I like the most, not the best, so my final group wasn't awesome.
