Admiral "Bull" Halsey Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 Does anyone find FE8 way too easy to beat due to the extra maps and the multiple weapons to kill the demon king. I personally think is not that challenging at all IMHO. You could easily take advanage of your armies by leveling them up at Tower/Ruins/skirmish abuse which is quite similar to arena abuse but MUCH easier and faster ways seeing as you can retreat in the middle of battle when doing so. Also during the first encounter in the game I also notice that enemy bosses aren't that much of a challenge comparing to their other GBA FE games especially on HM not what I expected and also quite disapointing. Secret characters like bosses such as Valter, Caellach, Selena and Reiv in the game are basically no better than pre-promotes because of their start off stats/boss stats when you first unlock him making those secret characters useless comparing to your other characters that you recruit through the story and you can't even use them when playing at the link arena solo. The only reason why I would consider playing the Creature Campaign is so that I could get my hands on Lyon's dark infinite tome Naglfar so that I could give it to either Knoll or Ewan FTW. And also get my hands on his Hammerne at the same time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Florete Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 Yes, I agree, FE8 was too easy. Playing it on hard is equivalent to playing Hector's normal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Camus The Dark Knight Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 Tana+Vidofnir+Critical+Pierce "Wow that sure was an easy boss considering I killed him in 1 hit" FE8 was indeed easy, I beat it in like 1 and a half days. It's problems were Overpowered player units Underpowered enemy units Abusable EXP and items In terms of what made it easy anyway, the unimaginative characters and story didn't help either (I liked Lute though, since she was one of the few unique characters, others just seemed copied from FE7 or nothing, near FE6 level). Valter was also interesting despite being a psycho nut (he was also easy, Ross+Dragon Axe=OHKO, no criticals or anything, althoughs it's easy to since he only has 3 luck). And I also liked the powerful foe music for the "hard" (lol) bosses theme. The fact that level 1 promoted units use the class base stats on easy and normal mode just makes me want to cry (as if they got no stats at all during all their unpromoted level ups). Hell promoted units were often WEAKER then the higher leveled unpromoted counterparts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanz Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 Yeah, it was pretty easy. The main issue is the tower and ruins giving you pretty much infinite EXP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metal Rabbit Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 Yes, I agree, FE8 was too easy. Playing it on hard is equivalent to playing Hector's normal. i'd say FE8 HM is a little more dificult. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanz Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 But you still have access to the tower and the ruins on hard mode, thus making any stat increases null and void really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metal Rabbit Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 i forgot to add that i wasnt using the tower or extra maps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanz Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 You have the option though. It isn't really hard unless you force it to be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meteor Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 It's not just you; it's pitifully easy. Instead of criticizing FE8 for what it's not, you may as well appreciate it for what it is. :\ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metal Rabbit Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 that's not much IMO, cause i find the story pretty generic... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weisspraline Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 that's not much IMO, cause i find the story pretty generic... That is NOT true. It offers us Twincest. Surely you can appreciate that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wonderboy Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 Hmmm... IIRC, I beat the game in close to twelve hours.... give or take a little while. It was way too simple. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CGV Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 i did like the whole map thing, but yeah, it was kinda easy to beat, yet it was... unique Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Florete Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 It had a lot of good ideas, but not enough content to make full use of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meteor Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 It also implemented its ideas poorly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Camus The Dark Knight Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 The ideas also weren't new (cough FE2 cough). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raven Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 I find the game easy, even on hard mode. Want a challenge? Try Hector Hard mode... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admiral "Bull" Halsey Posted February 3, 2008 Author Share Posted February 3, 2008 Want a challenge? Try Hector Hard mode... I consider FE6's HM is much more nastier than even that of HHM IMHO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
鳴美 Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 I consider FE6's HM is much more nastier than even that of HHM IMHO. Because FE6 was god-awful? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weisspraline Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 I liked FE6, it was just very, very, hard. :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
