Ercdouken Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 Usually the middle difficulty. Some games I'll play on the hardest difficulty because they aren't that hard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillNyeTheBlackGuy Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 (edited) Mostly normal, except for FE11/FE12 and FE9. Their normal modes are way too easy for my tastes. I also like HHM from FE7 since it was hard and fair, unlike FE6 hard mode (which is just bad).

Gradivus. Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 (edited) FE6: Hard FE7-10: don't play them a lot so I don't have any real favorites here, but definitely Ephraim > Eirika in terms of FE8 routes, and FE10 is a bad game no matter the mode FE11: H5 FE12: H3/H4 depending on my mood FE13: Lunatic BR, Rev: Lunatic CQ: Unsure between Hard and Lunatic, the latter has some major BS in the lategame (although I'm still somehow fond of the Endgame) whereas the latter is a lot more tolerable on that front.

C. Turtle Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 I always play on the easiest difficulty available. Because I'm a total weenie. I do play on Classic Mode, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saisymbolic Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 (edited) Normal for all games until I get the hang of the mechanics and character growths, before swapping over to Hard/Lunatic.

ChibiToastExplosion Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 Normal the first time, hard the second, and then generally normal thereafter. Always classic tho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rapier Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 Hard on FE13, FE14, FE7 (Eliwood Hard/Hector Normal), FE9, FE8. Normal on FE10 (even though US normal = JP hard), FE6, FE4. Hard ** or *** on FE11 and FE12. I actually think this is the best difficulty setting according to my skill on FE. It fits like a glove. I've only played FE14 Birthright on Lunatic. I hated FE13's Lunatic and FE11 and FE12's are way above my skill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emerson Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 FE7: Hard mode, both paths. FE8: Not 100% sure yet, but I'm playing the "Difficult" Mode currently on my second playthrough and not having too hard of a time. FE9: Hard/JP Normal FE13: Hard!Classic FE14: Lunatic!Classic for BR, Hard!Classic for CQ. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FiboSai Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 FE6: Normal Mode, because it is more balanced. FE7: Eliwood Hard Mode, because it let's you use more characters than Hector Hard Mode while still being slightly challenging. FE8: Hard Mode, Normal Mode is way too easy. FE9: Hard Mode, same as 8. FE10: Normal Mode, because Hard Mode is tedious. FE11: Have only played H1 and H5, of which I liked H1 better because most characters are usable. FE12: Maniac is the best balance between difficulty and relaxed gameplay. FE13: Hard Mode, Lunatic is too restrictive. FE14: Lunatic for BR and REV, Hard for CQ because the endgame on lunatic is insane. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magical Glace Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 (edited) FE6: Normal, though I made good progress with Hard and haven't cleared mainly due to lack of motivation for Dragon Child.

Alex95 Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 Usually Hard. Don't wanna sit through the infoboxs on Normal, and not quite skilled enough for Lunatic (and eqivalents). Casual as well, if included. I don't like seeing my characters die... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scarlet Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 Generally Classic/Hard. While I can deal with higher difficulties, Lunatic tends to be extremely unforgiving - making it too stressful for me to perceive it as "comfortable". Exceptions: - FE10 Hard is stupid rather than challenging. I dislike the game as a whole, but I'd go with Normal in this case simply to avoid having to manually keep track of enemy movement range. - FE11 H5 is fine. The existence of mid-chapter save points takes off a great deal of the pressure. - FE14 Birthright/Revelations Lunatic are fine. They're challenging, but not actually all that unforgiving. They honestly just feel like a slightly beefier Hard mode. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdwardSunnyDisposition Posted September 6, 2016 Author Share Posted September 6, 2016 I'm definitely seeing a general trend for FE10. It's definitely unforgiving even on Easy/JP Normal and Normal/JP Hard. Heck even the Javelin dude in Chapter 1 is something to watch out for, and pretty much all Archers with Steel Bows -_-The reason I choose Easy is for the kill exp gain. You get around 40 which is amazing on Part 1 if you want to use the Dawn Brigade units in later parts. And bypasses grinding too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twice Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 I do like a challenge, but to be totally comfortable I'd have to be playing on normal mode. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DemolisherBPB Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 FE 2: Normal FE 4: The only difficulty FE 5 Normal FE 6: Normal FE 7: Hector normal FE 8 Normal FE 9 Normal FE 10 Normal FE 11 Hard 1 star FE12 Hard FE 13 Hard Classic FE 14 Hard Classic I do like to challenge myself and play on the hardest difficulty though, Only done all 3 paths off fates (with birth and Rev been done for my first playthough Conq getting too silly so I had to put it down)And Awakening, which I never want to think about again but my friend did get me a "I beat Fire Emblem Awakening on Lunatic + and all's I got was this lousy T-shirt" T-shirt so it was all worth it.
