You know the worst part about games like FE8? When they have post-game campaigns. Jesus, I hate having the option to mess around with a team forever, don't you?

Assuming you play on Hector's mode and visit every map save 19xx, FE7 is 30 chapters long, just like FE6. FE7 also has Lyn's mode, but that is both skip-able and easily completed in one sitting.

The scope of FE6 is far more retracted than the scope of FE7, the latter being more interested in boy-scout missions which are intensely centered on more provincial themes. FE6 doesn't quite slip itself into such specific story lines--it's much more episodic and fleeting, and I preferred it. The pacing was ranged, it felt like, while FE7's was concentrated on specific areas of interest for longer period of time. FE7 unfolded, while FE6 propelled.

Urgh. This game is a love-hate relationship for me. I hate Roy, most of the characters this game throws at you are pretty much cannon fodder with absolutely no use and the hit rates are so wonky and horrible because of it. I love this game though, because enemies have actual stats, it has Echidna, and there's just something about this game which I can't explain, but I really like about it. Better than FE8, worse than FE7 IMO. Did i mention that I hate Roy?

I like the game because it's challenging and has interesting map design, even if the hit rates are kind of bullshit.

It's also fun to draft.

I feel that unlike FE7/8, there are very few chapters that can be immediately trivialised. Perhaps chapters 15 and 21x...
