Only exceptions to this are SoV and Sacred Stones (and maybe PoR, I feel like I may have made a mistake on picking Normal because I usually go with the middle difficulty). PoR Hard is actually very fair. It just leans towards tedious with the amount of enemies and how buff they are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lightcosmo Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 I can personally say that I've never enjoyed FE hard modes. They just restrict and confine the player in so many ways that just makes it simply unfun, imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbh, I'd rather play a piss easy game over a batshit insanely hard one. That's not to say I don't love a good challenge, but even with Sacred Stones and PoR being easy on their highest difficulties, I'd still take that over vanilla Binding Blade Hard or Conquest Lunatic.

Challenge is good, but not to where I'm tearing my hair out over it. It depends on the game for me personally. If the difficulty is well designed and fair(ie monster hunter, dark souls, code vein, conquest, octopath, etc.) then fine I prefer it to a more easy experience because personally I like games that make me think and strategize. Now if the game is bullshit difficult then yeah I’d rather be playing something easier cause at least then I’m having fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with this as well but I should probably clarify it's a matter of patience. To use Conquest as an example again, I do not have the patience to go through Lunatic. Conquest Hard was already difficult enough for me already, I ain't playing a harder version of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not to say I don't love a good challenge, but even with Sacred Stones and PoR being easy on their highest difficulties, I'd still take that over vanilla Binding Blade Hard or Conquest Lunatic. Fair enough. Personally, though, I find both to be equally unbearable. Too difficult in the wrong ways, and I grow frustrated, lose motivation and move on to something I can actually enjoy. Too easy in the wrong ways, and I find myself droning out and wondering why I'm wasting my time with something so inane, then move on to something I can actually enjoy. FE does both things well and wrong, I think. PoR and SS are examples of bad easy. Maddening 3H is an example of bad hard. NMotE is an example of good hard. TearRing Saga is an example of good easy. Then there's stuff like Berwick Saga and non-H5 SD, which are kind of in the middle (though I'd argue Berwick leans towards hard), which is good too. This, all in my humble opinion, of course.

Sooks Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 I hesitate to try lunatic conquest because I just have literally no clue how I would progress in those later chapters. Like oh god Takumi’s wall map. But @Father Shrimpas, I’ve heard that conquest lunatic stacks OP skills on enemies. Is that true? 1 hour ago, Father Shrimpas said: It's one of the worst map ever existing yes, but i wouldn't call unfair I can see that, but I think the ability to be completely immune to attack on player phase with the ability to move and then attack on enemy phase is. Although at the least the game sorta kinda tells you this, unlike other FEs with their unfair difficulty bits... 1 hour ago, Father Shrimpas said: On another matter, i've been thinking of doing a new cyoa, after dropping the last one due to me dropping trails...

No. Conquest Lunatic does give some generic enemies 1 or 2 more skills, but aside from late game bosses you won't see skill stacking to the max Also Hard stats and Lunatic stats are the same. Only skills, positions and Dragon veins are different Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
