General Horace Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 I thought this was well known. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naglfar Posted October 23, 2011 Author Share Posted October 23, 2011 According to the FE8 draft threads it's not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
General Horace Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 Most people decide not to burn RN's in the prologue because they don't believe in it, and decide to take the 3 turn. The 5 turn in chapter 1 is pretty luck based too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Naglfar Posted October 23, 2011 Author Share Posted October 23, 2011 These two chapters are the most obvious and most common source of advantages to a playstyle as opposed to something legitimate like skill. I like a level playing field, and if people are going to not do this by choice, then I can't believe nobody's even mentioned the possibility (and validity) of banning it. Those two RNs are the only ones I ever strategically burn in FE8 drafts, so it's already a pretty weird thing. Either everybody does it or nobody does it, or my OCD won't shut up.

Ring Wraith Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 I'm doing my FE8 draft on a cartridge, not a rom. I still got a 2 turn and a 5 turn...but that took a LOT of work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Integrity Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 Having never burned the RNs for a 2 turn clear, I've never seen a distinct problem with it. It's not like the FEDS whatever chapter Marth can Seize a turn early in the European localization - the burn is an option I'm consciously ignoring.

arvilino Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 I think maybe rather than require a 2 turn clear, couldn't you just have the prologue not be a part of the overall turn count unless the player does something like spends 4 or more turns on it or something?

eclipse Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 First three turns of the Prologue clear. I like that. However, the level that Eirika gains in the Prologue determines how easy Chapter 1 is. Gaining Strength and Speed is vital for the 5 turn clear.

Naglfar Posted October 24, 2011 Author Share Posted October 24, 2011 I read your previous post. I acknowledged and rejected its point. My point was that if people were consciously ignoring it, it's odd that no moves have been made to ban it. Normally this is the sort of thing people would take notice of. Also, I have the PAL version of FE11, I could consciously ignore the ability to seize a turn earlier as well; I don't see any bans on it either. "I don't really care" doesn't count as a rejection of a point, unless I'm horribly misinterpreting what you said. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eclipse Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 I think I brought up the FE11 Chapter 19 thing, and it's now banned (as it's a glitch). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"I don't really care" doesn't count as a rejection of a point, unless I'm horribly misinterpreting what you said. There is a blanket ban on the 3 turn Seize on Chapter Whatever in FE11, since AFAIK that's the only chapter where the US localization cannot Seize in the same timeframe. My point wasn't that I didn't care about the matter - rather that I don't think anything needs to be done. Light resistance, if you will, less so apathy.
