Rank FE in terms of difficulty

[GreenShyguy]

So which one is the easiest? Which one is the hardest? Anyone actually finish all 7?

[Arf]

ive played two. FE6 and 7. 7 is slightly EZer. technically for me 6 was tho kuz i used codes.....

[GreenShyguy]

From the four I've played - 1, 2, 4, and 7 - 7 does seem to be the easiest. That also seems to be the general consensus among FE fans.

[superbus]

I've played all of them, but I haven't gotten deep enough in 1 or 3 to make an honest opinion.

Seven is the easiest, by far.

I'm having little dificulty going through Gaiden.

Holy Sword can be intimidating to someone that has only played 7, but the ability to save before each turn makes it easier (and I'm NOT counting savestates).

Six was a bit of a bitch, until I started going about my time with a fair share of paranoia (I wasn't used to a GBA FE where enemies spawn right after my turn; that left some of my weaker units in some rough situations).

Thracia will eventually eat my soul.

^He he FE6 paranoia, that is so damn true. FE4 is pretty generous in saving. FE5 is hard but you can't say that until you reach the last 5 or so chapters, it becomes nearly impossible with everything they throw at you, noooo enemies with leadership stars total of 20, poison arches! ahhh! Ropto mages coming out of freaking nowhere! NOOO!

I've only played 6&7 but in terms of difficulty I would say 6 was harder. First off there was much more enemy reinforcement compared to 7 and they certainly had more Wyvern riders and bitchy Druids with berserk staff. Another thing is that the characters in 6 aren't aswell rounded of in 7 IMO. C'mon in 7 you get tons of usefull character like Sera,Priscilla,Erk,HECTOR,LYN, and sveral other great characters. While here it seems abit less IMO. Try playing this game at hard mode and lets see you keep you try not to swear when you try to kill some enemies. Though I do have to commend 7 in length and Hector modes Hard mode but since you have a sort of Epilogue you get a chance to level up some of those great characters...

[VincentASM]

^Yeah FE7 was far too generous with characters. The chapters were also too short, maybe because of the addition of the surviving chapters. Those chapters were fun but TOO easy. As said many times before FE5 had the trully hard surviving chapters. It takes me 7 days to finish FE6 but FE7 only took around 3 or 4 days. My playtime was also far less than the ones on FE6.

[TheEnd]

I only played 4-7 to the end, so I can't judge the others.

Among these, FE7 is the easiest, and FE5, the hardest. As everybody said.

Ropto mages coming out of freaking nowhere! NOOO!

If I remember well, they're Dark Mages. Salem is the one and only Lopto Mage, I think.

[VincentASM]

^Sorry I tend not to try and remember FE5. Yes Dark Mages coming out of nowhere! Around Manster and inside the Manster temple. Damn sometimes I swear they really ARE trying to kill you in FE5. That feeling will never go away.

[TheEnd]

But they are.

*Remembers Elf with 30 magic and Berserk staff*

[VincentASM]

You mean Elf and not the bard in my avatar?

Yes she was evil, she was Sara gone nuts with magic bonus. Everytime I started that chapter I had to check the position of my characters so I could get someone evil like Shiva to kill her at once (obviously she killed everyone with Rizzah, Wrath and powerful magic)

[TheEnd]

You see, I edited it after I noted I had written it wrong. Dumb me. =/

The best way to deal with her was to send her to oblivion with a critical hit, I guess.

[VincentASM]

True it's quite hard to kill Elf, most of the time Hero and Master weapons and any other cool weapons don't do enough damage to her...... before she counters and annihilates you. Ah the challenges of FE5....

[TheEnd]

I think that Trewd would be a nice match for her.

Mikiri's so sweet.

[VincentASM]

^WHAT do you mean? You are talking about Trewd and Demon General Elf right? Please say you are......
