Ergo, shoddy design. Glad we agree. End of discussion here, folks.

Do you consider chess poorly designed because fucking up your first few turns costs you the game?

Looks like a lot of people disagree with you.

Uh, duh, that's the whole point. If you can get through the majority of the game without doing that (which I did, at least with the first one to hit the US GBA, then skipped the rest because they're worthless), then they really didn't design it so that you would use the entire army now, did they? der

"A strategy game with no kind of punishment for doing moronic shit is a worthless stretegy game."

Yeah, PC games seem to have no problem with letting the user retry from before they backed themselves into a corner (ie, restart the current mission). In FE, you're screwed. That's the point. That's bad design. Regardless of whether you like the game or not.

I see what you all are saying and it makes sense, I just don't care for it. I prefer it when they all start out on a more even keel.

No one will fault you for that, it just doesn't make it bad game design to do so. And honestly, I've never felt the need to use the upgraded characters. I've won every battle without using them until my characters got caught up, only occasion was putting them on defense in any form of "survive turns" map. So if you ignore them, you're on even keel, as you put.
I'm always a fan of returning characters, I didn't read that until now.

I expect alot of returning chars from the last one atleast in 1 or 2 chapter non-playable cameos.

Yeah, it's totally fine to not like it. It's Joust's "if I play badly then I lose and that's bad design" complaint I'm taking issue with.

Hmmm, perhaps I will try that, for whatever reason this thread makes me want to pull out POR again and give it another shot. It feels like I haven't really dug deap enough to see all the game has to offer.

Just unequip Titania and have her draw enemy fire and pick off the enemies with your other guys or just throw her in a corner somewhere :tu:

Just some things i wanna see cleared up in this game:

- Who is the Black Knight?

- More info on the Branded.

- What happens to Ike and the Greil Mercenarys.

- Why is Canaeghis fighting Macayla in that screen?

Speculations always fun :)
