Dr. Tarrasque Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 How exactly is this painful when you can just suspend the game? You can skip the battle scenes and enemy's turn if you're in a rush to suspend the game too >_>. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodykitty Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 (edited) Welcome the most painful new feature of the Fire Emblem series/EDIT: Editing out image macros.No auto-suspend isn't even new. It's also not that big of an inconvenience. Edited March 2, 2009 by Chainey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rodykitty Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 (edited) No auto-suspend = no RNG abuse. (At least not in a secure way). Edited February 24, 2009 by Chainey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FionordeQuester Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 IF you ask me, it's better that way, because the Fire Emblems that used the auto suspend feature used a flash save that tended to wear out the battery of the game very quickly (which eventually meant the all your files go bye bye, and there's no way for you to save your files.

It's nice to have if forget your charager on a trip, yet you play FEDS so much that it runs out of juice before you get to a save space.

shane3x Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 I find it hard to resist just turning the ds off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yuli Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 I do accidently turn off the DS since I was use to it auto-suspend. I quickly learned not to do it anymore after I lost so much time redoing everything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shadowjam Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 (edited) also, no auto-suspend = no more easy-arena trick(or finding your opponent in the arena simply by wagering gold, and turning off power in the event your unit has a disadvantage(weapon triangle-wise)/you think your unit will die in the arena to the enemy, and turning power back on, and rejecting the wager, and reentering arena, wager, get a new enemy).. ^ because of that fact, the arenas of this game are a whole different ballgame than the arenas from fire emblem: blazing sword and sacred stones, where you can auto-suspend, while in this game, if you have to stop w/o losing chapter progress, you have only two options: manual suspend or save. If there's no way you can do either w/o losing an important character, you can start all over again(you can't directly restart chapter in this game, just like fe4-fe5 which, oddly, don't have a "restart chapter" command(that fact applies to this fire emblem game too because it shares that observation with those two games, meaning if you made a bad mistake, since the rng can't save you w/o auto-suspend, you have to make a new save file...), and play up to the point of where you made the mistake on your old file... ^ sure wish it still did it, but :( Edited February 25, 2009 by shadowjam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yuli Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 You could restart chapter. Just press R when you're loading a file and it should bring up a new menu. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
General Spoon Posted February 26, 2009 Author Share Posted February 26, 2009 You could restart chapter. Just press R when you're loading a file and it should bring up a new menu. Funny you should say that, when R buttons not working on a DS is a common problem. Including mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yuli Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 Oh dear. Have you tried using the touch screen? :x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
General Spoon Posted February 26, 2009 Author Share Posted February 26, 2009 Oh dear. Have you tried using the touch screen? :x Yes, but I didn't think it would work when loading. It sounds like it does though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yuli Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 I meant touching the screen while on the loading chapter menu. Some buttons should pop up on top of the Touch Screen, but I don't know if touching the buttons will work since I just use the R button. You're welcome to try though. ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metal Rabbit Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 Also, the DS game card uses a different memory system than GBA games. Autosaving CERTAINLY wouldn't wear out the flash memory. However... nothing lasts forever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lifeshroom Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 It was nice on the GBA versions to just hit start select A B to auto restart quickest way to redo things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
