CrashGordon94 Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 (edited) This one has been bouncing around in my head for a while now. I hear that Hector Mode is harder than the equivilant Eliwood Mode, but does that make HNM harder or easier than EHM? Which one do you guys find harder? EDIT: Whoops, the poll's fixed now.

ZemZem Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 Personally, I find EHM really boring, and I play on HNM 75% of the time when I start a new file on FE7. EHM is more difficult, though, especially when playing a ranked playthrough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whase Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 I always find the first few chapters quite hard on HNM, after that it's easy enough. EHM is kinda tough all the way through now HHM, that is hell to go through... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bottlegnomes Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 Neither's particularly difficult, but I'd suggest HNM because of the extra content. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raven Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 (edited) I only play HHM, so I wouldn't know/am not able to remember. Edited April 28, 2012 by Raven Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peppy Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 I voted for HNM since i find it more fun, You don't have to rely on Failwood so much, There is Farina if your not going for ranked and some Extra Chapters. I honestly just find this more enjoyable... I just find EHM more tedious, in my opinion! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrashGordon94 Posted April 28, 2012 Author Share Posted April 28, 2012 I would just like to point out that I'm asking which is HARDER, not which is more enjoyable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peppy Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 Oh... Sorry... Eliwood Hard Mode... EXP is such a killer on that mode... You barely get any if you kill a person who is low leveled... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thor Odinson Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 (edited) Played EHM, felt like FE8 (at some points even easier than FE8 HM, which is saying something. Either way I don't consider it a proper HM). Don't remeber any normal modes. Haven't played those in a year. Go with HNM because they're all easy and Hector Mode, like someone else already said, has extra content.

DarthMikey Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 EHM isn't really difficult, it's just irritating. (I.e. low EXP hauls, as Narshen said) Harder than HNM, in any case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacLovin Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 EHM is harder. Due to Eliwood being squishier. HNM has one of the more reliable Lords in the series, and early on, Hector can withstand more damage en route to Throne. EHM has an easier to get Geitz, but HNM allows Farina and Karla to be recruited, as well as a few more chapters. ENM has energy rings and more dracoshields than HNM, thereby making it easier for Florina/Kent to have str, and more durability for Florina/other squishy unit.

OrangeCrush980 Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 (edited) Hector Normal Mode is actually slightly easier than Eliwood Normal Mode. Its only with the hard modes where Hector's mode is beefed up. Edited April 29, 2012 by OrangeCrush Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geriba Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 Hector Normal Mode is actually slightly easier than Eliwood Normal Mode. Its only with the hard modes where Hector's mode is beefed up. How so? The only difference is that the main lord is superior, but then that means Hector promotes later. Fairly sure enemy stats are higher in HNM compared to ENM as well, and the HNM-exclusive chapters can be tricky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gryz Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 Unpromoted enemies have the same stats in Eliwood Normal-Hard and Hector Normal. Only in Hector Hard are they stronger. 5 levels of class growths added to stats. Promoted enemies have the same stats in Eliwood Normal and Hector Normal. Eliwood Hard gets boosted promoted enemies. Compared to normal mode, 10 more levels of class growths added to stats. Hector Hard promoted enemies are even stronger. Compared to normal mode, 15 more levels of class growths added to stats. Both Eliwood Hard and Hector Hard increases the number of enemies and often reduces the number of units you can deploy. Both hard modes makes EXP gains decrease faster as your characters gain more levels over the enemy units. Both hard modes also alter the starting items of some playable characters and the droppable/stealable items of some enemies. Villages, chests, armories and vendors don't change.

Did you mean to say "unpromoted" there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gryz Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 Nope. Promoted enemies in both Eliwood Normal and Hector Normal should be equal to each other. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peppy Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 (edited) Except with a character who is also low leveled... Yea, This is what i mean if people didn't understand the description. If your a higher level than somebody you kill, You will get Less EXP (Barely any at all. I don't know if The Gap Between Levels will affect EXP Gain Either). If your going for a good EXP Rank, You may want to promote your units late... Very late... Edited May 4, 2012 by *Narshen* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrashGordon94 Posted May 5, 2012 Author Share Posted May 5, 2012 Also there are two units that you can only get in Hector Mode. But it sounds like they both suck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZemZem Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 Also there are two units that you can only get in Hector Mode. But it sounds like they both suck. One of them doesn't suck, she just comes really late. Plus, she's expensive to recruit. The other one is certainly usable, but she sucks compared to everyone else at that point. Plus, her growths don't help her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrashGordon94 Posted May 5, 2012 Author Share Posted May 5, 2012 One of them doesn't suck, she just comes really late. Plus, she's expensive to recruit. Well, I'm personally not convinced. I have a rather negative view of the fliers in FE7 because I feel they're made obsolete by . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
