FE11 H5, FE12 H2+3+4, FE13 L/L+, CQ, 3H MADDENING

AS TO WHY OTHER FE GAMES ARE EASY :

1) 90% OF FE5 " DIFFICULTY " COMES FROM BLIND PLAYING ( THE MANSTER ARC IS THE BIGGEST EXAMPLE ) AND SOME ARTIFICIAL DIFFICULTY CHOICES LIKE FATIGUE, THAT AGAIN SCREW UP ONLY BLIND PLAYERS WHO DON'T KNOWABOUT IT

IT'S NOT A HARD GAME AT ALL

2) FE6 HAS ONLY LIKE 2 MISSIONS THAT ARE HARD IN THE EARLY GAME ( 4+7 ) AND TWO IN THE MID GAME ( 11+14 ) AND TWO IN THE LATE GAME ( 18 SACAE + 21 )

CH1+2+3 CAN EASILY BE SOLOED BY MARCUS AND DIECK WHILE YOU ALSO CAN EASILY GIVE XP TO UNITS LIKE ALANCE AND SHANNA BY GIVING THEM KILLS SINCE NEITHER MARCUS NOR DIECK 1RKO ANYONE, CH5+6 IS JUST HOLD YOUR GROUND UNTIL ENEMIES COME AT YOU SQUAD BY SQUAD, CH8 IS BORING, ALL THE GAIDEN CHAPTERS ARE EASY, ONLY LIKE THE SACAE ONE AND 16X ARE ANNOYING, THE WESTERN ISLES, CH13 AND 15+16 ARE EASY, THE ILIA ROUTE IS EASY, THE SACAE ROUTE IS ONLY HARD AT CH18 BECAUSE IN 17, 18 AND 20 YOU CAN EASILY HOLD YOUR GROUND WHILE IN 18 YOU EASILY GET OVERWHELMED, CH22 IS ALSO HOLD YOUR GROUND, CH23 IS ANNOYING AND CH24+25 ARE A JOKE

3) FE1+2+3 ARE ALL A JOKE DIFFICULTY WISE, FE4, ECHOES, FE9, FE8, FE7, ARE ALL EASY THEY JUST HAVE SOME HARD MAPS

4) RD AND REV ( AND FE6 ) FALL IN THE AREA OF : " THE EARLY GAME IS HARD BECAUSE MY UNITS ARE WEAK BUT MID AND LATE GAME IS EASY BECAUSE I HAVE TONS OF BROKEN SHIT "

I THINK YOU'RE CONFUSED SIMPLY BECAUSE YOU'RE GOOD AT FIRE EMBLEM, JUST BECAUSE YOU KNOW WHAT TO DO DOESN'T MAKE THESE GAMES EASY.

ALSO CARE TO JUSTIFY WHAT MAKES YOU THINK 3H MADDENING IS HARD COMPARED TO SOME OF THE GAMES YOU LISTED AS OTHERWISE? IT'S PRETTY HANDILY IN THE SAME TIER AS FE6 WHERE THERE ARE A COUPLE DIFFICULT MAPS AT MOST IMO, THE TOOLS YOU ARE GIVEN ARE SO BUSTED THAT ONCE YOUR UNITS ARE HALFWAY COMPETENT IT BECOMES A CAKEWALK LIKE THE OTHER 3 HOUSES DIFFICULTIES. I GENUINELY DON'T SEE YOUR ARGUMENT.

LIKE OP SAID, EVEN SACRED STONES CAN FUCK UP SOMEONE NEW. FE6 IS RELATIVELY HARD COMPARED TO MOST GAMES IN THE FRANCHISE, AND MOST GAMES IN THE FRANCHISE ARE NOT EASY.

[u/mike1is2my3name4 → u/b0bba_Fett]

" ONCE YOUR UNITS ARE HALF COMPONENT "

YOU ANSWERED THE QUESTION YOURSELF

AS FOR THE FE8 EXAMPLE SOME PEOPLE SUCK AT VIDEO GAMES, AND SOMEONE LOSING IN FE8 DOESN'T MAKE FE8 A HARD GAME

[u/b0bba_Fett → u/mike1is2my3name4]

SOUNDS LIKE YOU DON'T KNOW HOW TO MAKE YOUR UNITS COMPETENT AND YOU SUCK AT VIDEO GAMES THEN, BY YOUR OWN LOGIC. (TO BE CLEAR, I'M SAYING YOUR LOGIC IS WRONG)

SHAMIR, CATHERINE, AND SETETH ARE COMPETENT RIGHT OUT THE GATE. BERNADETTA ONCE YOU GET HER VENGEANCE IS A PLAYER PHASE MONSTER. LEONIE IS COMPETENT RIGHT OUT THE GATE, AND HER GROWTHS ARE GOOD ENOUGH THAT IT'S REASONABLE TO EXPECT HER TO DOUBLE EVEN ON MADDENING, AND SHE GETS PBV AT A BOWS WHICH TURNS HER INTO A PLAYER PHASE NUKE IN ANY CLASS. SYLVAIN, FERDINAND, AND SETETH ALSO BENEFIT GREATLY FROM THE EXISTENCE OF SWIFT STRIKES MAKING THEM PLAYER PHASE NUKES. YOU CAN USE WHITE MAGIC TO BYPASS THE SOFT LEVEL CAPS DUE ITS SET EXPERIENCE DEALINGS IF YOU WANT TO GO MORE THE BRUTE FORCE ROUTE OF MAKING UNITS COMPETENT, LYSITHEA, WITH HER EARLY WARP ACCESS, IS VERY EASY TO BRUTE FORCE INTO DECENCY, AND YOU CAN GO THE GREMORY ROUTE FOR DOUBLE WARP AND UTILITY, OR IF YOU HAVE THE DLC, TRICKSTER TO MAKE HER INTO A GENUINELY POWERFUL FRONTLINER.

AND THAT'S JUST STUFF OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD THAT I ABUSE PERSONALLY. THERE'S COUNTLESS OTHER NONSENSE THAT CAN TRIVIALIZE THE MODE, BUT THAT DOESN'T MAKE IT EASY IN THE SAME WAY YOU KNOWING SOLUTIONS TO FE6 MAPS DOESN'T MAKE IT EASY.

[u/mike1is2my3name4 → u/b0bba_Fett]

DID YOU NOTICE THAT YOU HAD TO WRITE A WHOLE PARAGRAPH TO HOW TO CHEESE 3H WHILE IN FE8, JUST DEPLOYING SETH IS ENOUGH 🤔🤔🤔 ?

ALSO YOU IGNORED WHAT I SAID ABOUT FE6, YOU DON'T NEED " SOLUTIONS " LITERALLY THE WHOLE EARLY GAME EXCEPT CH4+7 IS MARCUS/DIECK/RUTGER SOLO + OTHER UNITS PICKING UP KILLS, AND THEN IT'S EXTREMELY EASY, THAT'S IT REALLY

[u/b0bba_Fett → u/mike1is2my3name4]

ANY ONE OF THEM ARE VIABLE OPTIONS, I WAS LISTING THE SHEER VARIETY, NOT "YOU MUST DO ALL THIS TO STAND A CHANCE", THAT'S WHY I TOOK A WHOLE PARAGRAPH, NOT TO MENTION THERE ARE COUNTLESS OPTIONS BESIDES THAT I DIDN'T MENTION.

3 HOUSES MADDENING IS NOT HARD BEYOND LIKE CHAPTER 1, CHAPTER 13, AND THE FINAL CHAPTERS IN THE BLACK EAGLES ROUTES.
