i’m done giving this game chances. i’ve played and beaten almost every fe game (most multiple times) and never once have i bounced off of one to the point that i can’t finish it. on like 10 different occasions i’ve tried to like this game and around the halfway point i realize i haven’t had fun in like 7 chapters. the entire game is trial and error and punishing you for not using the most optimal units at all times. in prologue, you made kris any of the classes with bad defense? have fun resetting because every enemy has double your move and orkos you! in the rest of the game, you used ANYONE other than the fliers and malicia? enjoy dogshit growths, half as much movement, and 12 movement dragons that ignore def that spawn as ambush reinforcements for like 5 straight chapters! the balance is atrocious in every sense of the word and using anyone but a squad of wyverns is miserable. while it was the first game in the series to add a bunch of player freedom it also punishes you for messing with any of the fun tools.
