Iced Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 FE6 is said to be one of the harder games yet I didn't find it that hard, though I did start it expecting something like FE10-5 difficulty (which admittedly is more frustrating than anything else). Yes it is far harder than FE7 though it is just hard enough to make it more fun in my opinion. I don't know maybe the challenge really picks up in the later chapters I am only on Chap 18 after all, or maybe Hard is where it's really at? what do you guys think about this. on an unrelated note though, this is shaping up to be one of my favorites in the series perhaps replacing POR.

Jaybee Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 Well, the enemies are rather good, your PCs die relatively fast, and C14 is a pain in the ass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iced Posted December 15, 2009 Author Share Posted December 15, 2009 yeah I did hate C 14 fog and sand is just cruel. maybe it's my team? should I post them? what level should you be at around C18? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junkhead Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 It's UNDERRATED, actually. They think all enemies are REALLY bad, they're bad, but many just exagerate about them. HHM was hard. Eliwood is kinda average, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aquilae Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 Well, most of FE6 HM's difficulty lies in the early chapters, it isn't that hard endgame IMO. Chapters 1 thru 7 are really hard, then the Ostia + Western Isles isn't too hard (Klein & Tate chapter is just very annoying). The difficulty spikes in Chapter 14 because of Desert and Sophia, but it gets easier as you go on, especially if you opt to go for the Ilia route. Sacae is harder due to the nomads and stuff, but physical tanks (like Miledy w/ Delphi Shield) work quite well. Endgame status staffs are annoying as heck but aside from that it isn't hard, the wyvern swarms are pretty overrated IMO since only the Wyvern Lords are dangerous. Dragons are easy to deal with, obviously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Tarrasque Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 (edited) Let's see... Both books in FE3 are easier. FE4's easier. FE8's easier. FE7's easier. FE9's easier. FESD's easier save for H5 and possibly H3 and H4. FE1's easier. FE2's easier. So what we have left besides FE6 is FE5 (which some consider easier than FE6 HM due to FE5's "Fake difficulty"), FE10 and FEDS H5. FE6 is said to be one of the harder games Valid since there's only 3 other FEs that compete. Like Aqui said, the earlygame's got a couple of dangers and Heroes aren't all that uncommon later in the game and they pack nice SPD preventing MANY of your units from doubling tem. Then there's weapons generally having lower hit than in FE7 as well as superior stats and existent avoid in the likes of Heroes, Swordmasters and the nomads of Sacae. Ilia's too easy.

Original Alear Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 I only played it twice, but I agree w/ the early game > late game stuff. The first time I played through sacae i didn't have a restore staff for 20xB so it was pretty tough. But the worst are ch 7, 12, 14 IMO. I did the chapter with douglas slowly so I didn't have a problem with it, but I imagine that one could be difficult too. Endgame status staffs are annoying as heck but aside from that it isn't hard, the wyvern swarms are pretty overrated IMO since only the Wyvern Lords are dangerous. Dragons are easy to deal with, obviously. The only part I found difficult about the wyvern swarms was that roy is pretty fragile in C21, so I had to protect him carefully.

BK-201 Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 I wouldn't know due to arena abuse, but it seems the only hard part is getting some of the legendary weapons, and keeping Roy alive in some chapters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FE 9 Maniac mode is supposed to rivalize FE 5 as well. Chapter 26 has something around 70 enemies starting on the map. This said, pretty much everyone nailed it already. Tough beginning, easy chapters from 8x to 13, some spike in the desert, then it's more or less easy if you know what you're doing.

Florete Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 I found this game more annoying than difficult.

It's not that good (unless it gives you SS on a level 20 mordy, lethe etc) but I still think it's a kinda neat admission of difficulty if it's true. "here's something extra" I found this game more annoying than difficult.

Aquilae Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 Recruiting Percival in Chapter 13 (i assume that's what you meant) is needlessly difficult. He won't contribute much to 13 itself other than murdering the boss, and won't get HM bonuses if you're playing on hard mode. Besides, Chapter 14 is a desert chapter and he takes a huge hit there. It's easier to recruit him in Chapter 15, and you only need to send Lalum over. You need some kind of rescue chain to recruit Percival in 13 and deal with the cavs up north, which is pretty tricky to pull off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BK-201 Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 Later chapter recruitment works unless I'm thinking of another. You are referring to the one with Miledy right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Tarrasque Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 Note that in Hard Mode, there's absolutely no reason to recruit Percival in chapter 13 unless it's either for bragging rights that you did it only to soon be called an idiot for getting the weaker Percival or intentionally doing so for a challenge.

"here's something extra" That's for when you Transfer MM FE 9 to FE 10. Doesn't seem all that useful, considering it wouldn't transfer weapon levels that wouldn't transfer ( knives, strikes, Rhys' light rank, any lost weapons in transition ). A fun thing would be Brom being able to use Lucia's Silver Sword in 2-2 while he's still stuck with a Steel Axe at best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luftwaffe Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 Another problem is entering gaidens, recruiting characters, the amount of shitty characters you get and berserk staff druids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
