Has almost $40 on my account.* Do I? I'm leaning not, I'm don't think the sale is big enough to make the buy hesitation-free. This is at its core a mostly visual update of a 1999 game, the reviewers have said it's fairly simple by modern SoS standards. However, I admittedly fell out of the franchise not much further into its maturation. More than the farming, I'm concerned I won't actually like its characters, I know them from seeing them in my youth, but I admit to actually knowing very little about them. The child is lost in imagination and in being so, does not actually read things. Will, stripped of the blurriness of how a child experiences things, I like these people? I haven't a clue.😟 This is a peculiarly tricky decision for me. It's like seeing the person you had a crush in kindergarten on 25 years later, and you see they look and act somewhat attractive now. Theres an awkwardness in this, you might as well be dating a new totally different person, but the origin of the attraction partly lay in them being familiar. 2003 If it truly was a remake of Back to Nature, I'd buy it in a heartbeat. Like, why remake the truncated version! Edited October 24, 2020 by Acacia Sgt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DragonFlames Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 (edited) Path of Radiance for me. And the only FEs I have yet to play are 1 through 3. Everything else I've at least tried once, with only two games I couldn't finish for different reasons.

Axefaire +Death blow+ Warrior class base strength of 19+Freikugel. I think she only Procced strongth once? This was a level 22-ish Lysithea IIRC. I should point out that this is only on Hard, but still. 37 minutes ago, twilitfalchion said: Well, to be fair, almost all FE games focus on high enemy quantity over quality anyway. There may be exceptions, but they aren't among the FE games I've played, Radiant Dawn included. Yeah, but that doesn't make TH's enemy quality higher. A unit that I tried to ruin that much shouldn't be able to do that. She also nearly OHKO'd the death knight in the next chapter-4 points of damage off. A Crest proccing would have gotten her the OHKO, probably. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, but my point is that that's not an issue (if it can even be called that) that is exclusive to 3H. Nearly every FE game mostly relies on a higher quantity of enemies to increase difficulty rather than solely relying on stronger enemies. FE9, FE6, FE7, FE10, FE11, FE12 etc. Edited October 24, 2020 by twilitfalchion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can confirm the simplicity is why i like them a lot. Sometimes less is more and i personally feel that the GBA games manage to be solid despite not having the more complex stuff from before and after. 3 hours ago, DragonFlames said: Didn't Gaiden have Rescue also? Echoes has it, so I assume Gaiden did, too. Feel free to correct me on this, though! Gaiden didn't have like 95% of the things Echoes did. 2 hours ago, Benice said: tfw you didn't like Gronder.

Even upscaling of pictures goes smoothly when it needs to do that. What it isn't good at is downscaling. Jeepers... Do you have the original saved? Just downscale it with MSPaint or whatever the Linux equivalent is. Should work. 30 minutes ago, Interdimensional Observer said: *Sees Story of Seasons: Friends of Mineral Town is on sale for $34.99.

(Personally, I find FE8 to have been significantly harder than FE16, but that is just me, and that is ignoring the fact that Seth exists.) 3 minutes ago, twilitfalchion said: Nearly every FE game mostly relies on a higher quantity of enemies to increase difficulty rather than solely relying on stronger enemies.

Hm, I distinctly remember the difficulty primarily coming from wave after wave of your standard enemies being flung at the player rather than many particularly beefy enemies, in each of those games, with only rare exceptions.

That's true. On Normal, they are that way, but that is the case for every FE's lowest difficulty. FE12 has really high enemy quality on higher difficulties, as does FE11.
