Jimmy_Smith Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 (edited) I didn't try to get the lowest turn count. If I have to waste 10 turns to get a unit(ever a useless unit) or to get 1 items, then so be it. Getting all units, collect all items, unlock support convo, unlock boss convo, unlock pair ending etc etc ,is more important than turn count. But waste turn to exp grinding is a no no, it's break the game. Edited August 5, 2012 by Jimmy_Smith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bottlegnomes Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 What's the point in unlocking Hard Mode? I mean, there's no reward for playing Hard Mode. What's the point of posting on an internet forum? What's the point of learning? What's the point of eating? What's the point of breathing? Basically, fuck nihilism.

Espinosa Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 Well, when you beat the game, you see your turns. So that's your motivation. In Awakening, you get to see your turns as soon as each map is over, even. So there you go, the game wants you to rack up those low turns and prove you're strrrrrong.

Snowy_One Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 Low turn counts are horrible things to think about. Only tier-list players and drafters care about them and they are the kind of people who will berate you for not exploiting a .05 second opening in fighting games as well. I am not that kind of person, and I do not care about turn counts in the slightest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parrhesia Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 I just want my A rank Tactics, or in Tellius maximum BEXP. But here's one thing people don't seem to get; people who play LTC? They play that way because they enjoy it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thor Odinson Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 (edited) I like doing lowturns once in a while to challenge myself tactically. But even normally I'd go for casual efficiency because I don't see the point in dawdling and if a character requires babying they're not worth my time. Not gonna force myself to fit some shitty unit on to my team of already capable units because they end up capping 5 stats by a level they'll never reach in my playstyle, especially if there's like, 5 chapters left. Maybe if they have a really cool personality or something. But there hasn't been one that actually impressed me enough as a character for me to consider babying. I'd rather just read supports documented on SF. It's faster that way and I don't have to press A a million times.

Baldrick Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 LTC seems to be popular because most players are experienced enough that only the hardest modes provide any challenge, so they look for self-imposed challenges. Turn count is the easiest resource to minimize, while still providing room for discussion. Personally I don't bother with it except in drafts, or when there's an in-game reason for it.

eclipse Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 If I feel like doing a support run, I'll dawdle. Support scripts don't capture sprite movement and facial expressions. Otherwise, I decide who I want to train, and adapt accordingly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Sage Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 Personally I like LTCs because I think it's fun. Apparently some people *coughSnowycough* get butthurt by this fact but c'est la vie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Othin Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 Personally, I find absolute low turns needlessly restrictive. I much prefer it when games are challenging enough on their own and provide incentives for reasonable increases in speed. When enemies are aggressive enough and threatening enough, you have to use your time effectively and skillfully without needing to worry about such excessive restrictions. For this reason, I no longer see much appeal in the GBA FEs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paperblade Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 You have never played for S rank in FE7. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Othin Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 You have never played for S rank in FE7. Indeed, as that would require revisiting FE7. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcus90 Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 When I see "tactics" in the ranking screen, I read it as "doing well in chapters". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RupturedThought Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 I skip plenty of turns for fast supports, I couldn't care less for turn counts. Indeed, nothing is "fast" about support conversations. I don't care about turn count, since I really don't have the desire to brag about it. But I don't find it fast. At the end of both FE 7 and FE 8, my support conversations' percentage were at 5% or 6% complete. Some of it is probably because I don't bring everyone, but most of it is because I cannot stand skipping so many turns in one battle.

BBHood217 Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 FE8's support library is easier to fill up since everyone can be recruited every playthrough and, barring Rennac/Tethys who have the only 80-turn support in that game, the most you have to wait for a support is 40 turns.

Loki Laufeyson Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 I sure as hell dont. When im doing Tellius runs, i do try to get the most turn count BEXP, but im never really rushing. I dont play for ranks in FE7. Ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Florete Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 I go for turns if I have a specific reason to, like drafts or ranking, both of which I've enjoyed doing in the past. Otherwise I don't worry about it too much, though I almost never just screw around anymore and will finish a map in a reasonable time-frame. Low turn counts are horrible things to think about. Only tier-list players and drafters care about them and they are the kind of people who will berate you for not exploiting a .05 second opening in fighting games as well. I am not that kind of person, and I do not care about turn counts in the slightest. Oh, Snowy. Snowy, Snowy, Snowy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

General Horace Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 I like playing for turns since just beating the games normally no longer really provides much of a challenge, and i've done all the ranked runs sans fe5 too plus i must vanquish the great evil that is shin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elieson Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 I like playing for turns since just beating the games normally no longer really provides much of a challenge... Horace put this perfectly. Playing for turns is just something do after roflstomping the game once or twice in "freeplay" or w/e you wanna call it, mode. plus i must vanquish the great evil that is horace This Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riariadne Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 Why isn't this in FE General I care about turncounts if i want to I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ragnell. Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 I do not care for turncounts, usually play a FE 2 or 3 times then move to another game (usually a dragon quest) for some time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PKL Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 I used to play casual efficiency until I started drafting. Now even in my first playthrough of an FE, I play for turns ;_;. I do not know how to play casual anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacLovin Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 Why is this still a big deal. THere are those that enjoy it and those that don't. And, there are those that whine about it, because apparently they don't want to know how Nino/Ewan/Sophia<MArcus/Seth/PErcival. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Constable Reggie Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 (edited) I tried it a few times over some of the Fe games, I didn't find it as fun as going through regularly/somewhat efficiently. I'm not going to warpskip every chapter post 16 on Fe5 because where's the fun in skipping everything? I've got a million games I own but haven't played for me to be playing through all the Fe games too many times. I love the series, my favorite game series ever, but I can't fathom playing only for lowest turncounts dozens of times.
