Yeah, so after beating FE6 HM I got a bit of a FE confidence boost (or delusion), and so I decided to start going at FE5, which is one of the two FE's I haven't played before (the other being FE2). Maybe this game will beat some sense back into me. Anways, on CH4x right now, and so far, so good. More or less. The RNG in this game is the weirdest I have ever seen, though. I've already witnessed multiple 99% attacks missing, and some 1% attacks hitting. In FE4 I'd run into that occasionally, but not with anything like the frequency I'm seeing now. The maps haven't been too brutal, and the fatigue system hasn't kicked in yet. Expecting things to get harder when it does. Weapon maintenance is certainly more strenuous than in any other FE...shops are nearly irrelevant, 'cuz I'm totally broke. I have to go on capture/weapon jacking sprees to get enough stuff to keep my army equipped, but capturing poses plenty of challenges in and of itself. Othin, Havan, Tanya, and Fergus are beastly. Brighton and Fin have craptastical stats, yet somehow manage to make themselves useful due to their weapon (Fin) and skill (Brighton). Some characters arejust downright horrible, even those who aren't prepromos - Marty and Ronan come to mind. Oh, and Lifis is a hilarious mofo. On a final note, the hell did they do to Manfroy's portrait? Where's the smirk, dammit? At least Julius and Ishtar don't look like Pokemon trainers any more. |

I wish my hard-drive hadn't crapped itself and deleted my progress: I was really enjoying it before that happened. Anyway, Chapter 8x (I think) is where it gets hard if you're trying to keep everyone alive. Good news is that you get Carrion before that, who is godly. By level 20 in my playthrough, he had three maxed stats. |

CH5-7 were kinda hectic, but CH8 was a total joke. I can see how this fatigue system is gonna be rather obnoxious, though... EDIT: Oh, in case people think I'm actually trying to be real hardcore, I'm playing on Elite Mode for this go-through. Edited by Druid, Nov 5 2009, 03:42 AM.

Man, I love all of the nice items you can get in FE5. (Scrolls, skill manuals, etc). Just gave Fergus Wrath. :D EDIT: As a lvl 1 Sniper, Tanya has three stats capped (skl, spd, luk), 13 str, and 9 move. Giving her the Neir scroll so I can boost that low def, but damn. Nothing's hitting her to begin with. Dominated that CH9 boss. EDIT2: Ballistae in this game are such a pain in the ass. Edited by Druid, Nov 7 2009, 10:52 PM.

Asvel + Ambush = Domination. Just finished CH14, which was quite fun. I'm likin' the story, too, mostly because it's been filling in the gaps from FE4. It's interesting in its own right, too. And out of all FE's, only in FE5 are the green NPC's on the enemy side... |

Damn, **** just got real. CH17A is like FE6 HM CH7 all over again. Only the first few turns matter, but they've been kicking my ass so far. This is why next playthrough I gotta train Karin - Dean just doesn't fare too well against dark mages. And damn that recruitable pegasus knight who keeps committing suicide.
