Hi, I've played a fair bit of fire emblem but I just started playing through Sacred Stones for the 1st time on hard mode. I've just finished chapter 5 and I wanted to know if it's realistic to keep most/all units up with the main team by grinding a so that I can try different teams for different chapters and will this either take many hours of mindless grinding or turn the game into a complete faceroll?
I ask because so far I already really like every single character in Eirika's army (apart from Artur, sorry bud) and I really want to try each and every one of them out on a run of the game so I can form my own opinions on them both as units and characters throughout the whole game.
Typically whenever I play other games with infinite grinding such as awakening, birthrights, rev, etc. I tend to spend most of the game raising a vast majority of the units and then in the last 5ish chapters I'll pick out my favourites now that I actually have experience to base my decision on and build a team for endgame like that. I'd just like to know if this will work in Sacred Stones.
Thanks a bunch in advance for any help or suggestions.
