Harvey Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 With the exception of the holy war, I always beat one chapter a day. But the problem is that many of these chapters have long maps that take so much of time for me to spend. I would like it if it was something like Holy War but I feel that if I do it like that, my strategy would be screwed up so I have to start the whole thing over again. I mean yeah sure, with FE13 onwards, there's casual mode but even with that, I feel like if I forget how I placed my units like that, I'll be puzzled and feel like I have to start the whole thing all over again. So what about you guys? You beat one chapter in one sitting or you use suspend if you're confident enough? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magical Glace Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 Why's this poll multi-choice? I use suspends all the time, so there's my vote haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wheelsonfire Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 Depends on where I am more than how confident I am... If I'm in a place where I have a lot of time, then I can usually beat several chapters in one sitting... If I'm not, then I use suspend... In terms of battles safe, I use it like crazy because I'm the type of person that doesn't like to lose anyone, even in casual mode...

Knight Falchion Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 It has pretty much nothing to do with confidence and everything to do with time and mood for me. Most of the time I'm able to complete one or more chapters in one sitting, but if I run out of time to play, get stumped and need a break, or simply want to do something else I'll suspend the chapter.

RiggyRob Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 What does using Suspend have to do with confidence? It's a convenience thing - you want to stop playing mid-chapter, you suspend the game. Unless the choice was supposed to be between Suspend and Battle Save?

Shadow Mir Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 (edited) For me, Suspend generally has more to do with time or my 3DS battery - if my battery gets low to the point it needs charging, I don't really have much choice...

Do you ever get the feeling that you have placed your units correctly before you realized that you should have checked extra so that one small mistake can be avoided and then use suspend? If not, then maybe to you its more of a convenience..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If not, then maybe to you its more of a convenience.....I think I've done that before where I suspend after moving my units so that when I comeback I can't really change anything for that turn, but usually I just do it at the start of a turn and mainly just if I don't have time to finish the chapter. I've also recently started a Lunatic playthrough of Conquest so I'm generally taking extra precaution when moving my units.Most of the time however, I think I do tend to finish a chapter I am playing on before I stop playing for the day.

Loki Laufeyson Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 I only use suspend when i dont have time to finish the chapter and have something to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Locke087 Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 (edited) I use suspend to do what the word says suspend because I don't have time at the moment to play, If I'm frustrated I usually don't suspend ( because if I'm frustrated I have I already lost, I don't get frustrated when I win) so I just turn it off/reset.

Weeping Dalek (MK) Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 For the most part, I don't use Suspend, but there are days where I don't have time, or I don't feel like beating a chapter all at once, so then I use Suspend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Topaz Light Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 (edited) The thing is that using suspend wouldn't negatively impact your ability to apply strategy at all, unless you forgot what you were going for in the interim time between suspending and resuming. There's literally no downside to just using suspend; when you reload the suspend data, you'll be exactly where you left off. Any mistakes you'd be saving to suspend data would've already become irreversible before suspending, so I really don't see how suspending is relevant. That said, I will use suspend sometimes whenever I need to stop playing mid-chapter for whatever reason, although with the DS/3DS Fire Emblem games, I'll just as often just put my system in sleep mode if I expect to only need to step away for a few minutes. There isn't really an option on the poll that matches this, though. Edited November 8, 2016 by Topaz Light Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PKL Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 I never use suspend. I HAVE to finish what i started in one sitting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
valieruswanderer Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 I suspend only when i run out of time, like everyone else has said. Although If I find myself puzzled or annoyed by enemy movements I'll suspend to gather my thoughts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
