Ooookay, this is the right thread.
FoD2 is out!
Here, even more, it matters how much strength the children inherit from their parents: I had Wood and Azure with Str/Spd around 30, which on NM was enough to cut through all the Cavaliers attacking them with ease. They wouldn't have been able to move to kill the Archers, though, so that would've been an issue.
You really do have to move fast and get several flying characters across the chasms, because there are a bunch of enemies that will move right towards them, including an inconveniently placed Dark Pegasus that I decided to go after on Turn 1. Not sure what trouble it would've caused otherwise, same with the other enemies Mark fought off on the top after making it up there with a chained Lightning Speed. The enemies chasing Chambray and Brady mainly ignored the characters I sent over until I blocked the bridge on Turn 2 to keep any more of them from crossing, so there, as well, moving really fast is important. It was easy on NM with a limit-broken team, but might be a lot harder otherwise.
You also have to be moving fast on the ground to kill the two enemies right in your path where Chambray and Brady are headed, but that's not nearly as difficult.

I tried downloading SpotPass and didn't seem to get anything, other than some sort of notification that it's October 11. I couldn't figure out if it had anything to say, but there was something similar last week, as well. Something about a map. Is it just saying a map is now available?
