Ok, some will laugh, some will cry, some will get angry that I am wasting forum time with dumb mistakes but here it is. I am completely new to the genre much less fire emblem games, but I couldn't resist trying it out with all the great reviews. So I did some research, stole my sons ds and bought the game. I am playing through on casual which I know is a big no no but I figured it the safe route to figure out what im doing. If I had done classic everyone would be dead by now. So I'm on chapter nine, have grinded quite a bit, married panne with vaike, chom with sumia, and my avatar with Cordelia. My biggest mistake was with seals. I read somewhere to get to level 20 before using seals, so I got chrom and my avatar to level 20 and did second seals on them took them to level 1 but left them as lord and tactician respectively. Did I totally just waste a ton of time? Should I just start over and try classic now? Also any other advice would be appreciated. Especially about how and when to use seals.
