geozeldadude Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 i'm getting the itch to start another PT, so i've been starting to think about doing FE9 and FE10 on hard. i'm thinking this time i'm going to really sit down and carefully plan out my character usage, supports, data transfer to FE10, BEXP distribution, forges, and planned stat boosters. if i do fixed growth mode that'll be another element to plan out. just curious how much others do this kind of pre-planning? haven't done this so extensively before, but i'm kind of geekily looking forward to it. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikethfc Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 (edited) I planned on using all the characters I used last time ended up using two many characters so did the last 2 levels with only Ike nasir and giffca give nasir the demi band and laguz stones and keep ike near nasir when in range of a sleep staff and make sure it breaks before ashnard moves incase his gauge is low especially when ashnard touches the medallion From memory oscar + lethe mordecai and muraim helped a lot and share the demi band with them use mist not rhys as a healer to make the BK battle easier Ill post more if I remember anything else Also in answer to your question only Playthrough I planned was the gaiden run in FE DS Edited September 15, 2009 by mikethfc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gamer7625 Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 I get my characters, skills, and Supports ready and depending on what I change I tweak my strategies as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loki Laufeyson Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 If you mean the following: "Im going to use Dorcas and Dart this playthrough and not bother with the Kishuna chapters" or the like, no i dont do that. I do, however, usually use different units each playthrough of any given FE game. How thats decided is merely whim when i start playing.

Dr. Tarrasque Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 I plan main combat characters, utility characters, skill distribution and chapter flow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ike-Mike Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 I find FE to be a game series where it's much better to play if you read all the guides and plan everything in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CGV Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 I plan out who I'm bringing to endgame before I even start so I know who I'm training Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NinjaMonkey Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 I only plan out which characters I want to take to endgame, and make sure that I favourite those characters more than than all the others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uzy5o Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 I always plan out my whole team and the supports each member will get before I even start a playthrough. I usually don't plan things like stat boosters, skills, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eltoshen Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 Used to plan out supports in FE7 until I figured they took too long and thus weren't worth the effort. In FE9, I just plan the characters I'm going to use throughout the game, since there's nothing like Creature Campaign, where I can use whoever the hell I want.

Jedor Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 I make plans that I generally don't follow through with, especially in relation to who I will use (which creates a domino effect) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sol Hiryu Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 It's kind of weird with me. I usually start a game with a general idea of who to use and what I'm going to do with them. Then as I get further along, that plan starts changing radically. Maybe it's because one unit didn't turn out as well as I thought they would be, and another unit that I was using temporarily was turning out awesome. Or one unit doesn't need the resource I was going to give them and I can give it to someone else and make them awesome. A lot of my playthroughs end up with me starting with a group of characters and ending with half of them replaced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eltoshen Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 A lot of my playthroughs end up with me starting with a group of characters and ending with half of them replaced. I think that's the reason why we have multiple characters to choose from. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ein Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 I always plan on using more male characters but I always end up forgetting about that and go with my usual units many being female characters. If we're talking about skills then I usually just have some people use some if it will help them but I always forget about some good skill combinations such the Wrath and Resolve set up.

Jaybee Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 I don't unless I'm trying to do FE10 HM (We can work together on this, I'm trying as well, btw), and as for character selection, I base it off how the character got blessed/screwed by the RNG. The RNG has forced me to drop some normally brilliant characters before... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fireman Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 I plan out ahead of time every character I'm going to focus on using (mainly just people I'm taking to Endgame), their support partners, a general idea of who I will probably give my stat boosters to, and in FE10's case: skill distribution among separate teams.

TheEnd Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 If I'm playing FE4, I have all pairings planned by the end of prologue, if not before. Otherwise, not much. This is particularly evident in the GBA games, where basically only the lords got full supports (and those were sometimes wacky, too).
