Florete Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 I am currently playing through this game specifically to be ready for a run of Radiant Dawn. Yes, that means using Sothe. Any one else have similar ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seraphim Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 Sothe was such an awesome unit. *___* Yeah, before I got Radiant Dawn, I made sure to support characters that would get endings together. ¦D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VincentASM Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 I was thinking of doing so, like many others, but I might possibly be too lazy to go through the whole game again XD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
God of War Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 Doing another run of PoR just to upgrade Sothe's starting stats in RD is kinda pointless, considering he could described as the 'Jeigan' unit due to his remarkably high base stats (which shows even moreso in normal mode, not sure about hard mode yet), and his early recruitment/long game life span. A more worthy pursuit would be to get either characters that have low bases or characters that will be used in RD to max out certain stats (and also create bonds between various characters). An easy example of this would be using excess bonus experience to get Largo to Level 20, considering that he can max HP, Str, and Skl very easily, and has a decent chance to cap speed as well. Why? So Callil can be sightly more useful, and perhaps even worthwhile in usage (unlikely considering how little you're allowed to use her). As for advice as to who to use on a run through PoR specifically for RD, here are the characters that in my experience, have the best end results (i.e. most stats capped): Ike (Str, Skl, Spd) Boyd (HP, Str) Gatrie (HP, Str, Def) Largo (HP, Str, Skl, Spd) Nephenee (Skl, Spd) Stefan (Str, Skl, Spd) Volke (Str, Skl, Spd) Soren (Mag, Skl, Res) Rhys (Mag, Skl, Res) Mist (Mag, Spd) Elincia (Mag, Skl) All I can think of at the moment, hope it helps.

Allan's Aokage Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 If you are, don't forget to get an A Ike/Soren support! Unlike me. I supported Ike with a unit I never use. *d'oh*. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jyosua Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 I loved Sothe. I knew he was important before Radiant Dawn was announced for two reasons, he doesn't die, he retreats, and he doesn't promote. That and his story seemed a lot more detailed than the others.

Soane Moko Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 yes, after my first playthrought I remplaced Volke, with Sothe! X3 I "love" him. Also today I've finished again PoR with some characters at Lv 20 like, stefan, rolf, nephenee, zihark, ike, soren, ilyana, mist and others...

Meteor Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 I don't really care about the transfer bonuses. I guess that's just me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soane Moko Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 maybe it's usefull because it saves support conversation after the transfer...Oh, well, and in hard mode too... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fireman Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 I don't really care about the transfer bonuses. I guess that's just me. Yeah, I don't really care much about transfer bonuses either, but it can prove useful at times and not so much at other times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CGV Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 yeah i'm also doing a PoR runthrough just for RD. The boosted stats, bonds, and weapon level ups will help me a bit more, plus it's just another challenge i've given myself cuz i'm gonna try extra hard to max out stats for everyone. And i've never used sothe b4 cuz he couldn't promote, so I'll try him out and see how he fairs against Volke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CGV Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 well, i finished that runthrough to transfer data to RD and boy did it take a lot of restarting to get certain people certain stat ups if u really want to tranfer data, use 10 people MAX Obviously, you should use Sothe to transfer his stats directly. And Ike is a must, cuz u have to use him anyway Astrid is a must cuz of her paragon and she can support Sothe A few magic users are good so they don't have to fight to gain exp. and other people can fight instead (like rhys, soren, ilyana and mist. dont use tormod cuz u get him too late in RD) Speaking of Rhys, you don't even have to use light magic at all to get his weapon level up. Staves all the way! And then just bring people who can support each other to get bonds in RD Also, get the bonus exp. for each chapter that has it (like not killing the priests on the chapter with the Warrior boss in the temple and have Naesala gather his raven friends and leave on ch. 19) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Florete Posted January 22, 2008 Author Share Posted January 22, 2008 I only want to use people that might need it. Awesome units(Nephenee, Zihark, Haar, Shinon, Ike,) obviously won't need the boost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CGV Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 yeah but since your kind of forced to used Ike, you might as well give him a little extra help to aid him in annihilating everyone in his path even better while you sit back and sip lemonade Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
鳴美 Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 I only want to use people that might need it. Awesome units(Nephenee, Zihark, Jill, Mia, Haar, Shinon, Ike,) obviously won't need the boost. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Florete Posted January 23, 2008 Author Share Posted January 23, 2008 If that's what you think, Naesala, that's fine with me. I just didn't take Jill and Mia to the final chapter, so I can't say personally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CGV Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 yeah next time i do this, i'll not use the totally awesome-and-almost-immortal units like the ones redfoxoffire mentioned Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CGV Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 haha. yeah Haar is always tired. he needs to get a good nights rest and see how he feels Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Micaiah - Light Priestess Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 I started a new game just for Radiant Dawn, to try and max stats of all the characters that I was gonna use in RD. =) Must...make...Mist....max....stats.... Astrid is being super RNG blessed this time around though <.< 20/11, 4 max stats? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
