FrostyFireMage Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 I generally restart unless it's a character I don't particularly care for and if the chapter is almost complete. In my first try of FE6 I let Ward die early in the game but restarted when Noah got skewered by a Horseslayer that came out of nowhere (I wanted Fir, dammit). I also let Alan die in my current run because lol who needs dodging rite Also restarted in FE7 due to a suicidal Erk who apparently lost the will to freaking dodge after I spent so much time training him in Lyn's mode.

ZemZem Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 Wasn't there already a topic like this...? And I consider myself a completionist, so I do restart chapters due to RNG screwage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belisarius Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 I always restart when my main lord dies. Not sure why I do, but it seems like a good idea. Oh and every other character too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Topaz Light Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 Unless I'm playing a sidequest file on Shadow Dragon, no one ever dies. Not even if I hate their guts and will never use them, not that that actually applies to anyone I can think of. It just makes me feel bad to let those fictional, pixelated people die. It's not as though I benefit from their deaths... I don't think I'd be a very good Fire Emblem player if I had to rely on sacrificial strategies. Oh, I did get Orson killed once in Chapter 5x in Sacred Stones... I wanted to spite him for his treachery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kon Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 If I can help it, noone dies when I play. Orson is the exception, however. He dies every time . >:3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rapier Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 I always save state like crazy because I'm always doing something stupid/risky which can kill even the strongest units. Unless I'm playing FE11 or any other FE on a console (that isn't Wii, because Battlesaves), then I reset. In FE11's case, I only reset if the unit is a part of my pre-determined team.

PK Gaming Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 On my first run: Always. Subsequent runs: It depends on how much I like said unit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGhosteon Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 No, I don't reset. I just press on with the units I have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I don't play for turns Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 Yep. Also, occasionally when my Raven has strength three points below where it should be and it doesn't go up when he levels up in the first 5 minutes of the chapter (or other situations like that) There are, however, a few exceptions.

Loki Laufeyson Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 Oh yeah. I hate it even when the lousy units die so i restart. Its usually a mark of me making a bad decision so i restart to rectify it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darros Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 There's only two reasons I move on with people dead. 1) I kill units on purpose because I'd rather have them dead. 2) I kill units on purpose for the sake of recruiting another unit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pmac_TK421 Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 Yeah, I'm kind of obsesed with completionism when it comes to fire emblem games so I will restart when a character dies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aura Of Twilight Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 When I first started playing I would always continue foward even if a few of my units died. Now however, I start over whenever one does, even if its not a important one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcus90 Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 If the unit is foundamental to my theme, yeah... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diortem Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 (edited) I would never let a unit die, because I don't hate any unit enough to let them stay dead. Of course, if it's a FE11 Gaiden Run (which requires units to die anyway), or if its one of the Fire Emblem games with a way to revive a unit, (big MAYBE on that one) then I would let a unit die, but only then. On the note of the second one, say I was to try to recruit Norne. I would let a unit die, then let no one else die until I get the Aum staff, and bring that unit I let die back.

Sundus64 Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 For me it depends if I want that character. My Zihark once died and I went on and I really missed kicking butt with him so I had to go back all the way to the chapter he died. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anacybele Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 (edited) I usually restart, yeah. But sometimes I'll go on if I'm nearly done with the chapter or I don't care much for the unit. For example, if Geoffrey got killed, which he has before, I'd let him stay dead. Hehe... Well, unless it's in RD where he CAN'T stay dead.

riariadne Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 (edited) Only when it's one of my units. This is the best answer.Usually I reset. Though sometimes I don't care though and just move on (like if a unit is forced in a chapter that I'm not going and they die, I'm not going to reset because of it). I don't get guys killed off on purpose though except for FE11 if I want to go to a gaiden. Edited August 24, 2012 by Strider Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Camus The Dark Knight Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 Mostly this only happens in FE5 thanks to the wonderful RNG, and if one dies, I restart. Seriously, the heal spell can miss... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
