Integrity Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 Define "good." alternately: yes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fateborn Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 If you hate being on a ship, go Eirika route. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawk King Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 Its E-i-r-i-k-a. And yes, I think its good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comet Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 You get the characters faster and you can get another rapier. So yes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caliban of Sycorax Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 It's the "easier" of the two routes, although that's disputable. Eirika's route doesn't have the horrible Phantom Ship chapter, and 14A doesn't have insane and ungodly amounts of status staves. You do get Innes, Tethys, and Gerik much earlier, making them more useful. Eirika!Saleh is one of the best staffbots you get as well.

Iridium Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 Let's see. At the cost of slightly inferior maps, you get: Slightly better pacing No phantom ship Better characterization for Cormag and Joshua (as well as making Valter and Caellach more satisfying) Somewhat easier recruits for Amelia and especially L'Arachel, and Dozla, who are not on the phantom ship. Earlier access to Gerik, Tethys, Saleh and Innes... and Marisa, I guess... as opposed to only Duessel and Cormag (and I guess you get Knoll a turn earlier.) Generally easier maps NO PHANTOM SHIP An arguably better starting position in 15, since Ephraim and Dussel can take care of themselves while Ephraim!Eirika... probably can't A backstory in which Ephraim and Duessel become so badass they stop an entire country by themselves NO PHANTOM SHIP. Yes, Eirika mode is better. In my opinion, at least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swordsalmon Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 Eirika's route has Binks. That's reason enough to play it over Ephraim's route. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJWalker Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 Gameplay aside, Ephraim's route focuses on plot while Eirika's route focuses on characterization. You can't truly enjoy the game without having played the other route while the first one is still fresh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
