Seems like most of you is mssing something. Usually when someone says “just for fun”, they mean an activity that’s fun, free of stress, and typically requires little-to-no effort. Though for some people, speed runs and LTC runs are all those things because they’re just that accustomed to playing the games they speed through in these ways.

henrymidfields Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 (edited) Casual mode, I think is quite similar, yet distinct from what sometimes I see as "story-focused mode". FE can have a Casual mode, for people who just wants to enjoy FE's gameplay and story at their own pace and pleasure, not delving their mind too much into either. On the other hand, some games (Persona 3 Portable and 4 Golden being two of such, and I believe also the case for Radiant Historia) describe their lower difficulties as "story-focused", where you don't care too much about the gameplay (except not screwing up the basics in battle), but you actively follow and think about the game's story. The closest example of where a Casual Mode becomes a "Story Focused" mode in FE would probably be the duologies of Tellius and/or Jugdral. You can have a casual attitude about gameplay, and have a focused attitude on the story, or the characters, or the background history.

It shows to me how many aspects there are to Fire emblem which attracts different people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starburst Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 (edited) Casual? Do not be a wuss and man up/ tits up. Seriously, though, I play it on higher difficulties and Classic, and I still feel that I play it in a casual way. I mean, I do not get mad at a last-turn mistake or at an unlucky crit that makes me restart a long chapter, nor do I feel anxiety about turn counts, super optimisation or so. I just laugh at the mistakes and misfortunes, and retry the map some time later. And you did not read it here, but I sometimes enable Casual mode before starting Conquest Chapter 27, so that I do not have to replay it if I fail at Endgame. Using tens of tonics on the whole party at the beginning of Endgame takes a very very long time! I do limit myself to only one save right at the beginning of Endgame Turn 1, and only one or two restart chances.

link16hit Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 In fire emblem context? Just to get battle save. it's a damn shame they separated the casual and the classic that way. but played Echoes mid-blind in classic mode. Didn't know the mila's turnwheel.before and it's so a life saver. Also you can revive dead character. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watched that video less than a week ago, you don't happen to be my older future self but netherlandese...? Well do you? But yeah DD151 did mention that he thinks some people see LTCing as "trying something like crack or whatever" and also went on to mention how like that's how you have fun, speedrunners for example may not play slower ever after but like playing that way is what's fun to them so let them be. A better definition for all of you is that Casual as in "Playing casually" means playing without extreme levels of optimization or micromanaging and instead playing the game and reacting immediately to an obstacle (That last part means not planning extensively) What it shouldn't be is: Playing for fun since those that don't play casually are still having fun.
