Welcome to Gaia! ::

Whenever I play ch. 26!! gonk

I keep losing Mathews tothat stupid lady and her stupid Bolting!!!

who about you?

I always want to eat my gameboy. It looks delicious. But other than that, it's on the Final Chapter when I've done really well, and I'm about to kill Lloyd, when he does a critical and kills one of my best characters. And I hate it when you accept a side quest and dicover that it is, in fact, near impossible.

Same chapter with me o_o Each time, it's been something different.
First: Nino got killed by Ursula because I didn't know she changed spots so she was near Nino in Hector's mode.
Second: Jaffar was killed by Fighters with Swordslayers/Swordreavers and mages
Third: Prince Zephiel was killed by Fighters o_o

26x annoyed me. But that was when I was naive and new to the game, and thought raising Marcus couldn't do any harm...it destroyed my entire party. Then I tried again and raised Kent and Sain. They were SO much better. But whenever I got to that damn mage who kept using bolting, someone died. Because of that damn mage. *growls at mage*

You're all scrubs who name yourselves after Presea's level 2 special attacks! AHHHHH!

jk. lol. nm

If you think the game is hard on normal mode, try HECTOR'S HARD MODE! I can only tell you how hard it is to beat, even for a genius like myself. Those chapters you are having trouble on; multiply that nightmare by 2... no, 3! Unless your units are Godly, which mine were, there would be no hope for you at all. I only lost 2 units on my hard mode run, Dorcas and Serra. Dorcas died early and I forgot why. Serra died because she got hit with a Dark spell... Luna... and she was using Light magic... she just didn't have enough HP, and those Durids in the late game have ludirous Magic ratings. They also like carrying Beserk, Sleep, and Silence staves to piss you off with.

Behold the example: Chapter 26.
Zephiel dies in 7 turns ((give or take a turn)), guarenteed. A Mercenary comes and owns him for free. Two attacks, full health. That gives you 7 turns to pummel your way through Fighters, Heroes, Generals, assorted magic units, Archers, and of course Maxime with the Silver Lance just to stop that single Mercenary in time. Then you have to worry about Nino. That Monk she squares off with is much more challenging. With enough Elixers, she can eventually win, but once she died to a critical, and I was pissed off. And don't forget Jaffar! Most of the enemies around him use lances or Swordreavers. Every attack against him has around 50% chance of hitting him. For the most part, he'll still rape the enemies with the 1 hit kill, but there are a lot of them he's facing by himself for the first couple of turns.

The Theifs start appearing either on turn 2 or 3 and race to rob the place before you do. 3 of them appear on three consectuive turns. Oh yeah, I forgot to mention the boss of the level, Ursula. When there are 4 turns left, she are her posse start advancing, she'll snipe any character she can kill with Bolting. The b*****d killed off Matthew, who was happily finishing up with the looting when BAM! IHADTORESTARTTHEBLOOMIN'CHAPTER!!!!!!!!!!!

In Sacred Stones on Hard Mode in the Ladgou Ruins. I only beat the whole thing once like that without losing any units.

Solution: Train Eliwood or Lancereaver.
Other solution: Kill Vaida. Do you really need her that badly?

Having a character hit by an enemy with a hit rate of TWO!

Seriously, happened once in Sacred Stones. Colm (Rogue) was standing in front of a crappy knight with an axereaver... and it hit him. Pretty frickin' screwed up.
