FE9: finished my Fixed Growths replay of this last night. Only Ike and Mist hit 20/20 for the transfer bonuses. Well, and Sothe hit 20/0, of course. He got 18 str, 20 spd, 20 skl, and like 12 def? Something good like that. I had one of the bands on him whenever he leveled(Knight band, I think) to further increase his growth potential, and right before the final battle used all of my stat upping items he could use on him.
Final battle was, well, formulaic. Sent Oscar, Kieran, Tormod and Elincia to the right, and they cleaned house. Zihark, Ena, Rolf, Jill and Mist went right, also cleaning house but not quite as fast. Ike, Soren, Boyd, Giffca, Reyson and Tanith head up the middle to deal with the miniboss and dragons. Pretty much just sweeping through, though the middle did give me some issues here and there as I was trying to feed the kills to boyd in an effort to get him to level 20/20. Still, no casualties, and no injurys beyond our capibility to heal. Everyone performed exceptionally well. <_<;
Oh, and Ashnard gets one rounded by Giffca and Ike, as Ike activates Aether twice in a row(Reyson had them act again, of course)
FE10: started this up, with the transfer data of course. So far...well, they all feel kinda weak, even for beginning FE characters. Michaia is good enough, but the myrmidon kid won't dodge anything, and the archer guy kinda sucks on damage. Even the token overleveled but not promoted guy isn't really all that great. Sothe is god, of course, but don't want to overuse him. Then again, maybe my problem is going straight from Endgame tactics in one FE to trying to play the beginning of another.
Also, Begnion soldiers are dicks the likes of which Zenthor wouldn't lower himself to cracking jokes about. <_<
