Biggest dissapointment? (if any) *possible spoilers*

[Lord Fuckboy]

I tend to stick with Sothe/Micaiah myself, it really hasn't disappointed.  Whatever rough patches that I got with Sothe/Micaiah wouldn't have been remedied by Volug, Zihark or Nolan (or Fiona...  lol) at any rate.

[caleb723]

>_> I don't/haven't use(d) Nolan.  Or Zihark.  Nolan probably next time.  I also leave Micaiah with Sothe because I'm too lazy to build up another support.

Those stars add Hit and Avoid?  I wasn't aware of that.  >_> Then again, I found Blossom for the first time on my sixth playthrough T.T...

While playing through it again, I find I'm disappointed in Jill.  A 45 in Str isn't horrible, but for some reason it always seems like so much less.  PIII I had to practically burn out all of the Brave Axe just to keep her alive, and deal sufficient damage to the Laguz.  (And this is EASY mode folks...)  Plus, her Spd cap 2nd Tier seems a bit low.  (25 Spd with a 65% growth?  Ouch.)  I like Jill a lot more than Haar on PoR, but there's just no comparing the two on this game.  Which is funny, because you'd think someone who can actually cap stats on PoR wouldn't need the level of babying I have to give her.

Uhhh, does anyone here know if the Profile Error has been fixed? Muriam's profile error I mean.

[caleb723]

It's not on the English version released after they fixed the Easy Mode transfer glitch.  That's the one I have, and it's still there.  Dunno about any other ones though.

There were many disappointments The story was nothing but confusing, especially when
And I wish the characters from Part 1 got more screentime, because IS failed so hard at giving them a personality. I mean, the only ones who get some screentime are Micaiah and Sothe. The others only get 1-2 base conversations in which they can say something, but I think that's not enough. The only thing you learn about the Dawn brigade is that Nolan reads books, Edward and Leonardo are friends, Aran and Laura are friends, too, Meg is Brom's daughter and Fiona is the daughter of that Daein-guy. Wow.) Or at least they should have kept the support-conversations.

And the difficulty was pure fail. Part 1 was hard even on normal mode and Part 3 is even easy on hard mode. Yeah.

[caleb723]

That's why I do Easy Mode- the difficulty stays easy through the entire game; unless Eddie gets hit-screwed but...

I do agree that many of the characters got little or no screentime.  And what is this about Devdan and his split personality?  Has it EVER been explained why he is like he is?

[Lord Fuckboy]

Something to do with Largo in a support conversation in FE9.

[camus the dark knight]

I didn't find this game too bad, but that's mainly because I really hated 8. If you think this story and gameplay is bad, you must not have seen FE8. Well it least in my opinion.

This game's story wasn't the most interesting, but it wasn't utter fail. Gameplay on this game wasn't too bad either, I at least liked how it wasn't 100% easy like some of the more recent games (hard mode was decent in it's own respect, even if it has nothing of FE5 or FE9 maniac).

My biggest issue is that just about every unit would max out practically every stat, a recent trend going on with the games. I like the old FE1/3 where most units were awesome (pegasus knights, Oguma, Navare, etc.) or flat out sucked balls (Boa, Jeigan, etc.).

[EnGuru]

I put up with Ninian and Lyn, I put up with Micaiah. I can't beat beat Normal mode at all

But anyway, the thing that bugged me the most about the game was definitely the lack of supports. The thing that made me love Fire Emblem is the story behind each person, and that each character didn't have just one set ending that they always got no matter how many times you beat the game. I mean, if it had been set up like the GBA games, it'd be like, yeah, Sothe is devoted to Micaiah, but he could be with someone else in the the end.

...Did that make any sense?

[WyvernSageLord]

Ooookay, another disappointment, but I doubt it'll face any amends. I just sent in an e-mail regarding Maurim's profile error, and all I got was this.

Hello,

 

I appreciate your taking the time to share your comments with us regarding Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn.  Rest assured that your email will be forwarded on to the appropriate department for further review.

Yeah... <_< Guess I'll have to be patient, won't I?

[hyde]

Ooookay, another disappointment, but I doubt it'll face any amends. I just sent in an e-mail regarding Maurim's profile error, and all I got was this.

Is it really that big an issue for you? I mean, we all know what it should be. It's not like the game crashes on the first chapter ...

[WyvernSageLord]

Others may not find it an issue, but I sorta personally do. Simple as that.

...Well, don't ask why at least. <_<

...But still, does anyone possibly HAVE the proper NOA profile text for Muarim?

[Charliecane]

My biggest disappointment is the fact that Radiant Dawn was released on a console that I have little interest in.

[Neofox]

Ooookay, another disappointment, but I doubt it'll face any amends. I just sent in an e-mail regarding Maurim's profile error, and all I got was this.

You sent an e-mail for a problem regarding a game that's almost a year old? For a system the doesn't support patches? What exactly were you expecting to happen?

[hyde]

I've just started playing the game again, and I have to say that I find the fact that you have different teams slightly annoying. It's fun for the first time, but the other times you're forced to use units you don't want to train for later in the game. I suppose it's a nice system to use once, but I hope they won't employ it in the next game.

[Pair of Ducks]

I found it really annoying that most of my favorite characters get relatively little screen time.

ie; Tormod.  ME WANTS TORMOD.

Though watching him and Sothe interact was worth it

ALSO, I'm disappointed in the role Pelleas played overall, because I really liked him, and I think he could have been a better character if he had been given the chance...

[etellerannet7]

My biggest dissappointment was the laguz. In FE9, even Mordecai and Lethe were still usefull at the end. In RD, however, I have no idea how to use them, so I don't. They star out relatively bad, and the only way to train them is wasting large quantities of bexp... Of course excluding Tibarn, Naesala, Giffca and Caineghis.

And I, too, hate the lack of support convos, and the less than charming and usually generic battle talk replacing the support convos.

However, I just feel that I have to counter many of the other complaints, because I love arguing. I love how some units in this game are given bad potential for training, so that I can find new focuses for second playthroughs. And during the second playthrough I loved training units i previously found useless (to note is that both Meg, Ilyana, Astrid and Zihark maxed everything, though I did give one stat booster each to Meg and Astrid). Micaiah turned out good with little effort in both my playthroughs.

Oh, and the final chapter on second playthrough while unlocking every event major I could find in a guide was the best FE experience in any game. With the exception of 4/5 I consider 9/10 the best storyline, and the confusion helps. Though those two are really the only storylines I like at all... (Excepting the storyline of FE2, because I don't know that one)

[hyde]

I used to think the same about the Laguz, but it's actually pretty damn easy. I'm doing a Laguz only playthrough and it's going really well. In fact, it's easier than most of my other playthroughs. I mean, Olivi Grass helps a lot (and you can get is more than I thought you could) and their stats once promoted are great. Sure, you'll have to keep them out of combat when unpromoted, but if you let them fight at different times you can bypass this problem mostly.

Besides, fighting one, two or sometimes maybe even three enemies won't kill them when unpromoted. And it allowes for fast levelling and fast rising of strike level.

[Ayanami]

No, he means that the problems were fixed before the game was released.

Personally, I thought Micaiah was the biggest disappointment. I thought the story was okay, the balance didn't bother me and the support conversations I care little for. But Micaiah is just so ... boring. I prefered every other lord over her, even Lyn. Coming from me, that says a lot.

Yeah, what makes her story irritating is none other than Sothe.

Micaiah is quite awful for a magic user, as light magic is too heavy for her poor speed/con.

I hope that was a typo, since Ilyana doesn't have that problem. In fact, she has the highest availability of all characters. She's pretty weak (and especially vulnerable to the Cats who will likely double her), but it's not because of that.

And any character is usable in Easy since you can just load Bonus XP on them. You get so much more than the other modes.

Ilyana also grows the highest defense in the game for a mage. She will most likely cap it with the POR data transfer.

[hyde]

Yeah, what makes her story irritating is none other than Sothe.

I wasn't talking about her story in specific, jus the overall story. Also, I didn't say I thought the story irritating. Besides that, why would Sothe make it irritating? I thought him to be one of the few interesting characters of the first part.

Micaiah is quite awful for a magic user, as light magic is too heavy for her poor speed/con.

This is pretty much a non-issue. She can use Light in the beginning without any speed loss. After that, she gets Thani which she can also use freely and which is a great spell. She even gets a second one at the end of part 1 (by which time the first one is most likely not to be broken). And after she promotes, she'll have enough strength on average to use any Light Magic without any speed loss but for Valaura and Rexaura, which she won't be getting for a long time.

Really, she'll have no issues at all with speed, since Light Magic is light in this game. You must be thinking about the FE9 weight.
