@Silly_G let me know if you find a decent walkthrough. I havent found a good one yet. Although I haven't necessarily needed one. Im sure I'm missing stuff without the walkthrough but I've figured out the gameplay pretty quickly. Its just a matter of im probably missing stuff like Eel mentioned( not talking to this person with that person etc). Also this may be a given but I didn't realize you can go into towns and huts on the maps. Probably a given but it wasn't for me! Lol
@NintendoByNature : My key priority is to not miss out on any recruitable units, and possibly any special items.
I think a no-death run will be difficult to pull off given the lack of transparency regarding stats/weapons and not being able to ascertain how far enemy units csn travel.
"Gee, that's really persuasive. Do you have any actual points to make other than to essentially say 'me Tarzan, physical bad, digital good'?"
@Silly_G oh for sure. If that's what you're after check out some info online. And yea that part is hard trying to figure out how far your characters and enemies can move. Im on chapter 5 and the difficulty just got real.

Fwiw you can select enemy units and see their 'move' stat and from that determine their range. It's not very convenient though.

Give me a heads-up if you're going to send a request please.
To check if there's any recruitable units among the enemies, you can also check if any of them has a unique name and face picture in their stats before starting a chapter.
Visiting villages is also helpful, they can give you hints on who wants to join your army. Visiting villages is recommended in general.
I also learned that if there's a little hut icon in the map, that's your convoy, and you can use it to store and withdraw items. Curiously you need to pay a fee to store them.
Well I beat chapter 5 last night but spent an hour on 6 with no luck! Its really addictive gameplay but im not good at it. If its getting this tough early on I doubt I'll see the end of this. Even with the rewind/save state feature.
That would make sense if every existing switch decided to self destruct once a new console or revision gets announced.
Isn't that pretty much what Apple did with one of their iPhone models?
But anyway, I don't think that would be necessary. The point would just be whet people's appetite for virtual console type stuff so that when they come along and it turns out that's one of the unique selling points of the Pro model (I'm thinking Gamecube and Wii games especially), more people will want to upgrade to the new console.
@Dezzy no? The closest I can think of is a period of time when they tried to extend the support a bit too much and ended up delivering updates that older devices couldn't handle very well. And I suppose the non-optional underclocking their devices go through once the battery starts failing, which was very aggressive when they started doing it and people noticed it.
Anyway, on the subject of Nintendo, I just think what you say is a bit of a weird leap to conclusions.
In 2017, Apple admitted that they deliberately slowed down older iPhone models in an update. They claimed it was to help the battery last longer (but there's obviously the equally likely explanation that they want people to update to the newer model). Obviously I exaggerated in saying self-destruct, but it's the same kinda concept. Deliberately limit older systems so people will update.
It's pretty much what they did with SNES virtual console on the 3DS. The base model could definitely run quite a lot of them. It's just a few of the more advanced games struggled, so they needed the New 3DS updated CPU to make it run as intended.
And yes that was their first version of that, the phone became under-clocked to make the aging battery last longer. It was too aggressive and people noticed it instantly. Replacing the battery fixed it.
It's something they still do, they've just gotten much better at doing it without it becoming a problem.
Anyhow, outside of their occasional blunders that result in slower phones, Apple is literally one of the few companies in that market that provides extended support for their devices. Your iPhone or iPad will receive constant software updates for at least five years.
So, kinda like gaming companies in that regard. But with a new device or two released every year.
On the actual subject of the thread, I'm up to chapter 4 now. Had a bit of a hard time beating the boss of chapter 3. These enemies are quite good and avoiding attacks, so it took several tries.
@Eel funny. I didn't struggle too much in the first 4 chapters but 5 and 6 are super tough. Is there any way to get specific members such as healers? I havent come across any yet
Any character capable of using staves can be a healer if you give them a Mend staff (or other such healing weapon). The one chapter 3 starts off with a Warp staff, but you get her Mend staff by defeating the boss, you just need to give it back to her.
Weirdly enough, apparently you need to leave healers out in the open to be attacked if you want them to level up, since receiving hits is their only way to earn experience.
Well, I actually beat 6. 7 is tough since I'm down a member. The big knights(macedons maybe?) are a struggle. Most weapons don't do damage so im not sure what to buy. Guess I'll take a peak and see what I can find online.
