Yeah I'm excited for modders to get ahold of this game and make an actual challenging mode and not just crank up general stats and call it a day.

I think they ran out of time and money. They cut it Loose because they didn't have any more time to give it. So it ends up being fun, but not very hard for the tactically minded

@@buddylord3020 I don't know if you played 13 sentinels (their other game), but it also wasn't very hard. Part of me wonders whether this is just their philosophy. Hopefully they see the feedback though and patch it. All hope is not lost. No one was really complaining at the time about 13 sentinels so there was no chance of it changing.

I’ll be honest many of the much harder fire emblem difficulties past hard kinda blow. Yes they’re harder but not in a good way. Super interest in this so I’ll try it out to see how decent it is.

​@@MFillmoretheir normal style of games is actually side scrolling dungeon crawlers so the past two games have been something completely different. You basically take the art style of this game, put you in direct control of Alain and have him fight through a stage left to right. Odin Sphere, Muramasa, and Dragons Crown were much better games than 13. 13 was just unique and refreshing. In the case of Muramasa-The Demon Blade, it's hardest difficulty gives you 1 HP.

@@goofydufus that's my guess. But that's the point of an extra difficulty

@@winghong3 In my opinion, if anything garrisons are too slow for healing. They "tick" each 15 seconds or so. And heal for about 4-6 HP. A unit with 40 hp would need 10 ticks to be back in shape, and that is not considering walking time. This is too little considering the time limit for most of the battles, and thus your only real options are items or valor skills. Ultimately, apart from items and skills, here is not a good come-back mechanism for a unit that takes heavy damage. Now, imagine instead that there's no time limit, but enemy squads take about 3 combats to take out, and there is more and more varied enemy squads overall. And of course the reinforcement mechanic is still in place. I find that experience would be overall more tactical and satisfying.

@@diegoakadisciple8336 sounds a lot like playing Ogre Battle

@@diegoakadisciple8336 They tick heal on a percentage, probably 15-20% so you have to hold them for multiple ticks to get to full HP if they were very low.

Actually really practical and good idea

It would be cool that add it eventually if they can afford it. But if vanillaware survives period it would be great already lol. The issue with the game is that the game can be very hard or extremely easy depending on how much you use the tools to your advantage. There's so much that can make the game easier but some players might miss it entirely. I feel the stamina system is very flawed across the board, I kind of like it on paper but I feel it wasn't the best way to handle it. Maybe have stamina being a resource per unit spent on action instead or something like that. In low difficulties stamina is trivial and in higher it barely starts to be an inconvenience but you can still heavily avoid the issue unless you're going for speed run pace.

Probably because Engage boring grifter.

lol how can you not realized that, game is way too easy played on story

@@rail7646 i have genuinely no idea, even played the demo on expert (so i even had a reference point) lol

That's a great question I would like to know as well. You could just do the aux mission 10x in a row and then give all the books to one main team and then brute force your way through the game.

There's infinite grind? ​@donniecupples6721

Which aux mission?​@@donniecupples6721

Because permadeath is dumb.

@@JayceCH. It's fun. Makes you actually think about what you're doing instead of bashing action figures together.

@@yurisonovab3892 Not good for people with OCD though that INSIST on seeing the game to the end. The anxiety is off the charts.

@@goofydufus I'm not suggesting it be mandatory

@@yurisonovab3892 I get it. I'm a completionist platinum hunter and it bothers me when I can't see a game to its end. I know, it's a "me" problem, but still. Lol.

I was against using archers, but a particular colosseum battle was impossible for me to beat with my setup until I leveled up a shieldshooter to take out the problem. The game needs more of that.

@courve coliseum level difficulty would be so cool as an endgame.mode. It's exactly what games need like this need. It's like in pokemon games (the old ones anyways) where you would do battle tower or whatever and actually play against NPCs who have a brain. So ya just the fact they have those types of enemy units in the game... why not more of that in the story mode/campaign

I've seen guys just bring in one character, and then summon two sell swords on the boss and then clean up

@@donniecupples6721 It's possible for that one level 40 stage, I guess. It's not possible for the stage Unicorn Overlord since you need to kill 3 mini-bosses beforehand. But the limiting factor of 5 item still makes a huge difference there since you would have to spend 1-2 items to block the enemy attack on your base, 1 to speed up yourself, then 1 to increase exp gain so you can push your teams into the mid 30ies (if you're doing it at around level 11-15). That only leave you with 1-2 item in case something goes wrong (unless you restart the stage, maybe?), so the 5 item as well as the lack of valor points is still very much a limiting factor.

I don't think it's a real problem that "x only means you will grind more". Fine, make the game really hard and give the player the option of grinding as a release valve. The problem as it stands is that merely wanting to experience most of the game's content *at all* makes economy and the game overall very easy.

Brutal teams? I finished the coliseum level 33 Vs level 50. I mean... They aren't exactly optimal teams in the slightest. They have cute gimmicks but nothing too hard. Only the very last fight surprised me a bit but you can still win easily since you only need to deal more% health than you lose.

@@sombrego2260 You can beat them in the coliseum because you have full control over who you use to fight with. Using their more developed strategies in actual missions means that you have to field multiple units against multiple strategies on multiple fronts. And that sounds great to me.

@@yurisonovab3892 I finished the colosseum at level 18 on Expert difficulty. Assuming equal level, they won't stand a chance against a well-built team even if your team isn't optimized to specifically counter them. But yeah, that would've been a step in the right direction, at least.

well that's pretty much how every strategy game goes. Kill them before they can do anything

Yeah that's most of the issue. The game is very generous on busted items that allow tactics to one shot everything before they play a bit too accessible. I think the true difficulty would come from very low amount of maps cleared like doing only story missions and 0 side quests

Static stuff such as ballista and catapult or enemy Valor skill may make you think again

@@tanphamnhat969 Eh, a flying unit with a light feather or equivalent valor skill can just rush a ballista and catapults cant hit shit.

There is post game. And no ng+ since everything can be collected in one playthrough

​@@tarotaro6933but can you get everything in infinite amount? I doubt it? There's so many cool items you get only one or two copies of. I was kind of hoping for a ng+ where everybody is scaled at max level from the start.

I thought this game doesn't have any post game content?

​@@unrealsimon93 it has one post game mission where you get like 6 more recruits during the mission. Thats about it. I really hope they figure out a way to make a new game+

@@wonderpoof7743 yeah, no NG+ and no post game content, very strange decision.

@@unrealsimon93 What even is "post-game" content in a single player RPG without any kind of persistent online world or DLC planned? Do you want to manage the towns you liberate and rebuild like this is a medieval sim-city? The evil armies are defeated and the land is saved. The whole point of the game is to get to that point. If you want more, play the game again.

​@@MidlifeCrisisJoe plenty of single player RPGs have "post-game". It is basically contents you unlock after beating the story where you get to fight the hardest enemies with the best equipment unlocked.

Yes

Stat-wise or relative to the enemies? Enemies have more HP/Damage as far as I know

@@IcedCoffeeGaming relative to the enemies

There was a Glorious GEO who was streaming TZ yesterday, although they weren't streaming before then

@@roboky0408Geo went straight to the boss and beat him, so his TZ playthrough is his first time seeing the story content.

have you watched the vid ? he already did say that the entire unit has to be defeated to not be able to be redeployed

I don't think they got to the development stage where they were going to make things hard. The CEO was using his own personal funds at the end of development. I think they just made it to be fun, and cut it loose

So brute force is the way lol. Well no wonder it never got into the satisfiaction level of playing FE. This just how I felt with musou game. It is fun but still miss something.
