B00TE Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 LOL!! Well, in my house I only believe in Classic stuff. ( I feel like an old timer. lmao! ) ...but I'm pretty darn sure once I start Lunatic Mode, I'm going to attempt it on Classic, get mercilessly slaughtered in the Prologue & have no choice but to use Casual. xD I'd do classic too if I wasn't going to play this on the go so much, trust me. :p And yeah, I wish you the best of luck when you attempt lunatic. Kickin' my ass so far even in the demo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarquin Posted January 21, 2013 Author Share Posted January 21, 2013 Aww, don't make the folks starting on Casual feel bad. Honestly, I see why it would be preferable to Classic, especially for those who would always reset upon a character's death anyway. The only reason I'm starting on the latter is nostalgia. Did the demo convince anyone to change their mind about what difficulty they would be playing on? I decided to start with Hard instead of Normal, myself - it seemed more like what I'm used to with Fire Emblem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legend Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 I didn't see much of a difference between normal and hard, so hard it is. Granted I'll probably reset a couple of times on classic, but it adds more emotion to the game with character death. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I decided to start with Hard instead of Normal, myself - it seemed more like what I'm used to with Fire Emblem. I figured I'd start on Normal, but Hard seems much better. Though hard to guess whether or not the first chapter is a good guesstimate of what the challenge will resemble to the rest of the game, so there's that. But if it stays consistent and makes me really think about how I want to end my turn, then all the better.

Sorry if I upset anyone :c But I did notice from the demo that Hard mode isn't too bad o: It's a fair challenge, which is what I like. I just prefer starting on Normal so I can feel the gist of the game first. lol c: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trickster Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 I'm moving up to hard after playing the demo. Normal feels more like an easy to be honest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarquin Posted January 21, 2013 Author Share Posted January 21, 2013 @ojsama - Oh, I know you didn't - I was (half-)joking. Sorry if I made you feel bad, eheh. ^_^; From what I've read from those who've played it already, Awakening's Hard mode does stay pretty consistent in its difficulty; actually, it becomes easier as you go along, what with the grinding. In sharp contrast to Lunatic, which becomes exponentially worse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZephyrD Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Classic, because I've been playing this series for nearly a decade. Hard, because I've been playing this series for nearly a decade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knight Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 I think I've finally played enough FE to begin a game on hard, the Demo still wasn't too bad so I think I'm pretty confident. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asura Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 I was planning on beginning with Lunatic. After the demo, I am no longer planning on beginning with Lunatic. Urggghh, what a punch in the balls. Hard/Casual, let's go! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eberict Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Hard because Hard is the old Normal and Classic because I've been playing these games for far too long to change how I'm used to them working. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luchinania Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Lunatic, casual. I've technically beaten the game in hard so lunatic is the next step. But I tried to do lunatic in classic and it was too much for me; I couldn't even pass chapter 2 without having Miriel die. I'll still reset, but at some point I'll have to say fuck it, temporarily sacrifice someone, and move to the next chapter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGreatOld Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 I will be starting on normal until I get the hang of things. After that, I'll progressively build up on the difficulties until eventually hitting Lunatic and Lunatic+! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CinderSkye Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 (edited) Either Hard or Lunatic. Casual if Lunatic, undecided on Hard; I'm the type that restarts when I lose anyone anyway, so it's not a big difference for Hard... for Lunatic, though, that'll be a conscious decision so I can temporarily sacrifice people if needed.

Folt Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Normal and Casual because fuck restarting every time a unit dies. Will likely go Hard/Casual for future playthroughs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Soldier Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Hard/Classic for the first few playthroughs, then I'll struggle through Lunatic/Classic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueLeafeon Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Normal and Casual. That way, when the unexpected reinforcements happen, I don't have to go "OH CRAP!" and reset. Will likely take on classic the next time around, we'll see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I don't play for turns Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 first I'm definitely gonna do normal mode, classic, to get a feel of the game without killing myself. I'll probably do hard/classic next. I tried the prologue on Lunatic in the demo and it continued to screw me over every time I played. It took me far too many tries to win. Then I died on chapter 1, but I was using a strategy that I pretty much knew wasn't going to work. I might do it eventually, but I'd basically have to do casual if I'd have any hopes of ever winning.

Wander Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Even though I could probably roll through Hard mode, based on what I've seen from the demo, I'll probably go Normal/Classic. Normal so I can get the hang of all the new mechanics before I have to start using them strategically, classic because I can't imagine playing FE any other way.

Othin Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Normal and Casual. That way, when the unexpected reinforcements happen, I don't have to go "OH CRAP!" and reset. Will likely take on classic the next time around, we'll see. Reinforcements show up at the start of the player phase on Normal instead of at the start of the enemy phase like on the other modes, so that shouldn't be a thing you'd have to worry about anyway. Especially since these are Normal mode enemies we're talking about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sigue Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Lunatic is a little much for me... I'll be content with Hard for now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kdports Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Normal Classic. Because I know on normal casual I'll reset if one of my men retreats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaz Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Normal Casual To save when I'm not on breaks from work and keep the stress at an utter minimum. Also to rush through everything and unlock/complete as much as I could as soon as possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popo Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Normal because I'm a wimp. Classic because I'm not that much of a wimp X D This. XD I would like to complete my initial run-through of the game in a somewhat timely fashion and with as little frustration as possible, so Normal difficulty for sure. However, it just wouldn't be Fire Emblem to me if I played it on Casual mode. Classic it is! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
