Weisspraline Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 I'm very frustrated with Radiant Dawn. I love it a lot, I really do. I love the skill system, the chars, the plot, the everything. Except supports. But WHY, WHY, WHY does it have to jump From DB to Elincia, to Geoffry, to Lucia, to Elinica again, to Ike, to DB, to Geoffry, to Ike, to DB, to Ike, then again EVERYONE splits up. Seriously, this game would have been better if they just made the story FE7 style- one route follows Ike/Elincia, and one that follows Michiah/Sanaki. Or something similar. I just hate the constant jumping. Constant jumping makes frustrated Weisspraline frustrated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Florete Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 I actually like it. It changes things up and gives you the opportunity to train a lot of characters and later decide who is the best. It also helps the story go along from different perspectives. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hanz Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 This is probably my main issue with the game. Just when I get going the pace changes and I am forced to use people who really don't figure into my long term plans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But that's just the thing, you might find they DO fit into your long term plans very well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanz Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 That is not how I play. I plan everything out from the beginning, set goals for what level they need to be by when, etc. It just bugs me to no end to have to deviate from my plans.

Florete Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 I see where you come from, as I do that with the other FE's myself. But I love how I can be much more flexible with my plans on RD. Maybe it's just me, I AM a weird person. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uguu Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 I like it better than other FEs due to that fact. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weisspraline Posted January 28, 2008 Author Share Posted January 28, 2008 That is not how I play. I plan everything out from the beginning, set goals for what level they need to be by when, etc. It just bugs me to no end to have to deviate from my plans. I'm kind of the same way. I vaugely plan my team out in the begining. (Do I want to use lots of magic users? Do I want to use any mounted units, fliers? Should I level up a healer from the begining, or just promote a mage?) and go from there. The only non-Greil Mercinary chars I plan on bringing into the final chapter are Laura, Edward, Danved, Elincia, and Sanaki. Maybe Geoffry. I don't mind when one whole part has the SAME lord (Such as Part one), and Part two wouldn't be bad if Elincia was the commander in every map; but the fact that you jump from this to that to this and that is very confusing, and really makes it confusing when I try to figure out who I want to bring to the final chapter; for example, one char might be a god in one part of the story, but really horrible when compared to units of another army. It's just a pain in my buttocks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Florete Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 As I suspected, some people love the new style, some hate it. I actually didn't care for it at first, but grew to love it. Here is the full path: (P1) Micaiah, (P2) Elincia, Nephenee, Lucia, Geoffrey, Elincia, (P3) Ike, Micaiah, Ike, Geoffrey, Ike, Micaiah, Ike, (P4) Micaiah, Ike, Tibarn, Micaiah, Ike, Tibarn, Ike/Micaiah. it is based on the one who can direct and order units Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aurion_Emblem Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 it's frustrates me...my issue is, I never have more than a few units I want to use...then I get to the mercenaries, and crap, now I have too many units I want to use...and smaller maps... Part 1: I used Micaiah (to Lv. 20), Jill, Eddie, and Nolan...large maps mean I have to use units I don't like... Part 2: huge maps, and you only have a few units, and I really only wanted to use Neph & Haar... Part 3: ah, here are the good units, but wait 3-P and 3-1 are small maps...which makes it hard to use everyone by small I mean, 3-P you have 3 squares across and few enemies, 3-1 is cramped...and I haven't gotten any further than that...but still jumping frustrates me...because instead of having the units you liked and have used and are well good, you get thrust to another group that well, does not have the units you were counting on...and it's annoying, I like having all my units together, makes life better...the jumping is also annoying, because you can't do supports easily (until part 4?) because everyone is split up...

CGV Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 i dont really pay attention, lol. I just kinda play and then when the new group comes around, i'm like "oh, looks like its Geoffery's group for now". I do kinda like it, though. A little change in scenery and units Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaonohiokala Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 the only thing i don't like about this is that it's hard to get certain supports. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CGV Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 the only thing i don't like about this is that it's hard to get certain supports. true that. it is kind of a pain to support with some people Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huanir Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 And on that issue, the supports themselves are my biggest gripe with 10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemini-Saga Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 I actually like it.[2] This is the first FE(for me at least) that you can use All your chars without fear that your team become Weak, I did this my first FE and I need to restart it ;_; They could have give Decent Support conversations... Well nothing is perfect... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaonohiokala Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 It optimizes gameplay at the expense of losing character development. Then again, the whole game is pretty much like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Wind Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 I thought it is kinda fun to keep switching teams 0.0 In PoR I have this huge amount of characters sitting in the back never seen the sun. In RD, it kinda force you to use gives you the opportunity to try out most of the characters. I found this quite enjoyable. Maybe just me...

Senerio Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 I'm not one for anything spontaneous. Everything has to go a certain way for me. I see what you mean, but keep in mind that the developers designed the first playthroughs to be played without the help of walkthroughs. If you focus on a handful of characters, you'll struggle when it comes down to Part 4 and you have to split your forces. And don't get me started on 4-E. XD So by doing it this way, beginners are likely to level up their characters evenly, resulting in a balanced team for the final battles.

CGV Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 also i kinda like the jump around cuz it has been 3 years since the end of PoR and i dont think everyone is still together. Everyone starts to slowly come together after 3 years and at the end, they all team together to kill Ashera . Genius i tell u! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone slowly comes together to kill the final boss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
