Fates' difficulty has paranoid schizophrenia on a level rivalling John Nash. Chapter 10 is generally agreed to be the peak of the difficulty, but most of the game is pretty hard.

Chapter 11 is super-easy in comparison.

I'll push through 10, then; if it's still a struggle a few chapters later, I'll drop down to Normal. Thanks.

You'll also really like 21 IIRC. It's the best.

[EnigmaticHat]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't Conquest harder than Birthright?

 people on Serenes Forest have released a beta for a new translation patch of Genealogy of the Holy War that catches all the stuff previous translations didn't finish and fixes a few glitches today

[JoshuaFH]

FE4 is a great game even when it's chock full of glitches and garbled nonsense text. It dun ned no transliterashun.

Ahem, but I wouldn't mind going through it again and understanding more than half of everything written. And not randomly crashing at the town you get the Defense Sword at. And not having placeholder text that explicitly refers to Batman and how everything isn't translated.


EDIT:

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't Conquest harder than Birthright?

Yes, you got that right. I mean, I thought Conquest was still kinda easy on Hard Classic, with only a few sticking points, but of the three it's the hardest, yes.

Did anybody here pick up that Tokyo Mirage Sessions game that came out a while back? I'm curious what it's like, all I know is that it flopped really badly and wasn't exactly the SMT x FE crossover it was (accidentally?) advertised as (and it also gave us chromsteel) :I

[Twinwolf]

Wait, that came out? I thought it wasn't out anywhere but Japan yet.

I've seen gameplay, it seems more like a Persona game with FE stuff thrown in in a few places.

[Tawa]

Wait what? Shoot, I could've sworn I heard it came out a while back. :I

Rephrasing: does anybody intend to buy it?

[Furtuka]

I was for a while, but don't currently plan to because of realizing I probably wouldn't have the time to finish it on my own, along with the fact that it took so long to release combined with personal issues regarding treehouses recent localization policies has killed most of my hype.

Apparently its gained enough revenue from CD sales and concerts that its a financial success despite the game itself doing badly though. The gameplay looked really fun based off the old preview videos I've seen before.

Yay! I'm not alone!

[JoshuaFH]

Even if it's obviously not an FE game, I do love Persona, so I'd play it... if I had a WII U! So yeah, I'm not playing it in the foreseeable future.

[Twinwolf]

If I had a WiiU, I'd totally buy it.

"Intense gang warfare in the Nohr region"

[SOLDIER First]

"Intense husbando warfare in the Nohr region"

the original is even better

So, which game would you guys recommend for me to use to introduce my father to FE? I think that he'd really like them, but I'm unsure which game to show first; I've got 7, 8, and 9 (he probably wouldn't like Awakening or Fates [nor do I want to lend him or think he'd like using my 3DS], 10 is a sequel of course, 6 is sorta bullcrap at times and the translation is shoddy, and 3 and 4 have sorta archaic and involved interfaces that make them more fun to play after getting into the series and a feel for the mechanics.)

I want to go FE7 first because of the built-in tutorial, but I don't want the difficulty to turn him off. (I didn't think that 7 was all that hard TBH, but I also abused savestates to no end :v)
I want to go FE8 first because of the user-friendliness and reduced difficulty, but I don't want to have to explain the game mechanics or discourage him from going Ephraim's route (because seriously Phantom Ship is hell.)
I want to go FE9 first because of the darker story and arguably better graphics, but again, I don't want to have to explain the game mechanics, and I also I don't want him to get tired of the incredibly irritating music for the unskippable/un-turbo-able battles.

Thoughts?
