SilverStarSong Posted March 30, 2013 Posted March 30, 2013 ....I'm starting hard mode. Now I'd like to think that I can at least play it by ear and not totally blow chunks, but anyone got any tips goin' in?
Chocolate Kitty Posted March 30, 2013 Posted March 30, 2013 Hard mode isn't actually very hard tbh, the enemies just rush you. Lunatic mode, now that is... ehasgdjkcl;

Momentai~ Posted March 30, 2013 Posted March 30, 2013 Happy birthday! Pay attention to when the bosses say reinforcements are coming. On all difficulties above normal the reinforcements can perform an action as soon as they appear. Good luck. They don't warn you all the time though. You'll also have to learn to anticipate where they'll appear (forts, stairs, your starting point, random spots from the sides on maps with openings [meaning they wont bust through the walls on indoor maps, but they may come from a passageway or something])
Faye Posted March 30, 2013 Posted March 30, 2013 Also, if you have it, I'd recommend using EXPonential Growth and level grind a bit. Hard Mode isn't impossible, but it will become more manageable if your men have a slight level advantage.

That's something I have a tad bit of issue with, since I do get lax in paying attention to where things come in. Well, learning experience, right? Haha.

Indeed I do. Glad I sprung for it the other day, now.
Vashiane Posted March 30, 2013 Posted March 30, 2013 A very happy birthday to you, Silver! Enjoy another trip around the sun! Oh yeah, definitely watch out for reinforcements in Hard. But besides that, it's not painfully difficult... or so I've heard (just got it, still on Normal).
LycopolisKing Posted March 30, 2013 Posted March 30, 2013 Happy Birthday! It it helps allieve you, I jumped right into hard mode. The first few chapters (Chp 5, Maribelle's) are by far the hardest. I would highly suggest grinding a bit on Risen and in the Outrealm gate if you get have DLC, because this game is unrelenting when to magic users in general. But beware: too much grinding and the game's difficulty dies a painful death, so it's your call to make. And you should set your MU to have a birthday today as well, so you can get that bonus after Ch 4 when you unlock the barracks. ;)
sunshineYON Posted March 30, 2013 Posted March 30, 2013 Lunatic mode, now that is... ehasgdjkcl; I can attest to this.
