IceBrand Posted September 18, 2016 Share Posted September 18, 2016 After my recent go at POR, I realized I had over 80,000 gold. I rarely used the gold for anything other than occasionally buying new weapons for units. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admiral "Bull" Halsey Posted September 18, 2016 Share Posted September 18, 2016 (edited) That varies depending on which FE title. In the case of FE Fates, I bet most players tend to buy skills for certain characters more then weapons (since weapons have no durability) imo.

Magical Glace Posted September 18, 2016 Share Posted September 18, 2016 Pretty often. I mean it would be a waste to ignore it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruadath Posted September 18, 2016 Share Posted September 18, 2016 Yeah, depends heavily on the game. I'm almost always running out of cash in Fates/Awakening, whereas despite having plenty of excess gold in PoR, I almost never use it. RD made this a little bit better by giving us cool stuff to buy from the Bargains. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterIceTeaPeach Posted September 18, 2016 Share Posted September 18, 2016 The only parts I can't get along with my money are Conquest, FE6 (you know what I mean) and FE4 for the units who are hard / unable to train in the arena. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rend Keaven Posted September 18, 2016 Share Posted September 18, 2016 Depends on the game but I think I spent more on FE4 since each unit has their own personal wallets/purses for buying or selling their own items and buying stat boosting rings from other units is expensive.

Brand_Of_The_Exalt Posted September 18, 2016 Share Posted September 18, 2016 As everybody said, depends on the game. In Fates, I spend most of my gold to reclass all my units to get skills (in a grindless playthrough, so I reclass them during the main game). In older FE games, it's usually to replace broken weapons or buy new ones (like utility weapons) or items (bargains in RD!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sirmola Posted September 18, 2016 Share Posted September 18, 2016 Generally, I have to agree with what was said above. As for thracia, where the only way to get gold is by selling other weapons, i generaly capture all i need, exept for certain things that are hard to obtain exept by buying, such as S drinks and lightening tomes.

Valkarian Posted September 18, 2016 Share Posted September 18, 2016 (edited) I always run out of cash during my playthroughs of Fates and Fe 12 since the drill grounds and forging is too damn tempting. Gold really doesn't exist in FE 5 since everything you can get is free of charge and is earned through capturing and selling weapons I usually end up having too much gold in my playthroughs of Awakening, Path of Radiance, GBA FE's and especially in the case of FE 4.

onvars Posted September 18, 2016 Share Posted September 18, 2016 I pretty much only buy what I need, so I always end up with a ton of leftover cash at the end. The exception being FE6, cuz 10-12 move units is pretty cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadow Mir Posted September 18, 2016 Share Posted September 18, 2016 It largely depends on the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Geek Posted September 18, 2016 Share Posted September 18, 2016 In the GBA games I usually end up with a huge pile of gold near the end which I then end up using to splurge on Killer weapons with which to steamroll the rest of the game.

sirmola Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 Onw thing i always like to do i check how the speedrun/TAS/LTC manage their money. For example, in fe6, it all gets spent on boots, and in fe9 and 11, it all gets spent on forges. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadowess Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 hardly any, too little let's go with that, in all games Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirie Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 I have a tendency to hoard (and then blow everything in late-game secret shops for those games that have those). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SageHarpuiaJDJ Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 Ever since that dumb ranking system in Blazing Sword where funds was always two stars I try to preserve as much gold as possible... Then buying skills became a thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tolvir Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 Depends on the game. I spent money pretty frequently in Radiant Dawn and PoR to keep a steady supply of weapon, staves, and items. I also tried to save a bit of money back for any kind of special item, but they often ended up being too expensive or not worth it to me. Same situation with Awakening. Fates I think I actually spend more. Between buy on skills, extra weapons for forging, stat boosts, the level cap seals, I spend a ton of gold in it. It's why the gold doc was well worth it to me in fates, and not so much in awakening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sylveonzoroark Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 I usually try to minimize spending. I remember having shit ton of gold by the end of Awakening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knight Falchion Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 I always run out of cash during my playthroughs of Fates and Fe 12 since the drill grounds and forging is too damn tempting.

This is pretty much my answer except I also spend a lot in Awakening, at least on my no grind Lunatic runs. If I'm playing the higher difficulties in Shadow Dragon I'll use up a decent amount of cash there too because, again, forging, but I don't play SD on the higher difficulties as much as I do the others so on a typical run I'll end up with a hoard.

valieruswanderer Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 I tend to hoard without really meaning to. In most cases my money just sits there unless i really need a crap ton of weapons earlier game, especially in the gbas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
