Wow I just spent quite a lot of time reading through the 8 pages and the subjects discussed were pretty varied. xD I agree with whoever said that people didn't like FE8 as much as FE7 (I say FE7 because it's probably the easiest to compare since they're on the same platform and FE6 was quite different imo) because they played FE7 first. I've also played FE7 first and I don't like FE8 as much, but I still like it quite a lot. I don't get why people are so obsessed with difficulty in games though, I feel very proud after beating a Fire Emblem game because it takes me a while and I start to remember all the chapters and enemies I had to beat to finish. I remember all the funny moments like RNG acting strangely and the frustration of having to restart chapters. But that's just me, I guess a lot of people have fun being annoyed by very hard chapters.
When I think of it, if so many people like FE8 less because of it's lack of difficulty, do a lot of people like FE5 the most because it's the hardest? (I never played but I remember FE5 being the hardest FE) Actually FE11 H5 is apparently very hard (didn't try either) but not many people like it. So I guess it's a mix of everything...?
