Admiral "Bull" Halsey Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 (edited) I'm thinking of doing a Earth Affinity walkthrough for quite sometime. Because Ike, Micaiah, Sothe, Sanaki, Kurthnaga, Ena, and one of the 3 Heron's are mandatory on the Final Part of the game I'm not even going to bother mentioning them instead I'm going to list 9 of them since you can only bring 16 in the final chapter. Here are my teams that I have in mind: Nolan Zihark Fiona Volug Lucia Oscar Tanith Renning Caineghis What do you guys think?

bunny: spider bitten Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 I think that you could make a much harder playthrough with another affinity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xanatha Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 Interesting. I've never heard of any affinity playthrough. Good idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admiral "Bull" Halsey Posted November 16, 2008 Author Share Posted November 16, 2008 I'm basically going through a playthrough without my optional Magic/Healer users...that's hard enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bunny: spider bitten Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 That's a bit offset by the huge avoid stat most of your characters will be running because of the limited options. And even if you were to decide to let the characters that are forced into the last chapter to rot, you'd still have 2 of those forced characters. I don't recall if one of the herons is forced on you, but even that doesn't change the situation. Something like a Dark, heaven, or light playthrough, even if you use the forced characters, would be a bit tougher. Though this is an interesting endeavor all the same. You did, however, ask for my opinion and got it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
La Yodha Stasella Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 do you plan to play this on normal mode? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admiral "Bull" Halsey Posted November 16, 2008 Author Share Posted November 16, 2008 No it's going to be on HM(A.K.A. Maniac Mode). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Florete Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 I tried to do this once, but got bored for some reason. I wish you luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reikken Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 (edited) What do you guys think? You're using Micaiah (and Sothe)? cheater Edited November 16, 2008 by Reikken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admiral "Bull" Halsey Posted November 16, 2008 Author Share Posted November 16, 2008 (edited) If it were up to me, I would not choose them instead, but they're mandatory for the Final Part. <_< Edited November 16, 2008 by 安室 奈美恵 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Tarrasque Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 Playthrough, not walkthrough. Good teams and good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Florete Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 If it were up to me, I would not choose them instead, but they're mandatory for the Final Part. <_< Just because you have to bring them, doesn't mean you have to use them. I've done more than one game without ever using Sothe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admiral "Bull" Halsey Posted November 16, 2008 Author Share Posted November 16, 2008 I'm not going to use them though, that's why I didn't mention them on my list. I assumed you guys get it. ?_? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knife Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 You should kill the mandatory, non-Micaiah, units who aren't of Earth affinity. I guess you could just keep them in a corner, but if you kill them off, you don't have to worry about them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admiral "Bull" Halsey Posted November 16, 2008 Author Share Posted November 16, 2008 Okay, now I looked through all the characters in the game. Sadly, there aren't anymore Earth affinity unit types other than the only ones that are listed up top. So, Killing off my character won't do good anyways. I need a total of 16 characters to participate in the part. 7 are mandatory which are Ike, Micaiah, Sothe, Sanaki, Kurthnaga, Ena, and one of the 3 Heron's Rafiel(just for the hell of it). The 9 optional teams are consists of Earth affinity which I already listed up top. Which means, I just have enough units to do this run and I can't find any more units that have Earth anyways. So I guess that settles it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janus Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 Easy playthrough will be easy, especially in Endgame, what with Caineghis being there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admiral "Bull" Halsey Posted November 18, 2008 Author Share Posted November 18, 2008 This is my Earth affinity playthrough <_<. Caineghis is Earth Affinity, so I may as well bring him... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandmanccl Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 Could be fun. Raising up Fiona, who starts out as the worst unit in the entire game, is fun in and of it's own right. Volug is one of the better laguz. End-game joins are fun because you actually get to try and build up supports during End-game. The Royal Knights maps will be a total bore, but such is life when it comes to theme runs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rei Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 Just save all of your BEXP for Fiona and Nolan. No one else should need it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandmanccl Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 And Volug. 3 forced stats on Laguz units = win. Leveling him up purely through bonus XP gets him to end up with like a point shigh in defense with everything else maxed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Killer Poleax Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 That's a well balanced team though it might be a little too easy if they're all supporting each other. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rei Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 (edited) And Volug.3 forced stats on Laguz units = win. Leveling him up purely through bonus XP gets him to end up with like a point shigh in defense with everything else maxed. Well, yeah good point. Only use it to finish each level with it though. Fiona and Nolan need it more. Edited November 18, 2008 by Rei Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandmanccl Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 Yeah, I'll give you that. Having 4 units you're using from the DB, one of which is horribly difficult to raise up, might make things interesting for that group. You'll probably have to bounce paragon between Nolan and Fiona and Volug to get all three of them up to snuff. Zihark should do fine, though, especially if you pick him up with the Griel Mercs.
