I seem to have had quite some progress in CTDS. I finished it yesterday, though I guess I must've known how to play. *shakes head in confusion* I completed the Black Omen, all three Dimensional Vortex areas, and even took a shot at the Dream Devourer. Dream Devourer really bugged me, though. I can't seem to beat it. I know I will, though. I just don't know how I know.

Heres a question for you Fire emblem players. Do you let people die? Every Fire Emblem I've played I always make sure everyone survives, regardless of their usefulness.

First go I'll keep everyone alive, but for the x-chapters you gotta make a core team...which can be less than 'let them die' and more 'put them in disadvantageous positions in order for them to sacrifice themselves for you'...The Fire Emblem gods are harsh mistresses indeed.

To this day the only Fire Emblem I've lost people at was Radiant Dawn in which the Goddess was truly was a harsh mistresses.*Sigh* Edward, Harr, and Kurthnaga my three best all in one level.

Usually when I lost someone, I just restart the chapter. If it was another game, then I wouldn't mind if I lost someone, but in FE, it's different, I always keep them alive.

I read on Fire Emblem Wiki that Ike uses something similar to Great Aether on Ashera in Radiant Dawn. However, I saw no such thing when I saw the vid of the event.

[Spoilers]
In the final fight you must first kill 8 energy field surrounding Ashera, the have about 200 hp and auto counter 50% of the RAW damage dealt to them taken in to account that they have a insanely  high def. this is normally enough to kill yourself. Once they are all dead then you an fight Ashere who has the same ability but with maxed out stats on everything plus higher HP. The trick is the killing blow must be Ike or else it heals her. Another annoying thing she has an attack with a range of the whole field that is close to an instant kill she uses it every third turn in between an attack that on par with lvl 3 thunder but a range of the whole map.

Wow, that sounds hard. But I myself prefer to defeat Idoun right now. Currently on Chapter 6.

[Olxlinc Twilight]

But what about the variant of Great Aether? Did they lie?

[KebreI]

When you select attack on Ike's Killing blow an FMV starts, that is Great Aether.

[Olxlinc Twilight]

Didn't see it. I guess they skipped it. The only FMV I saw after the final blow was her dying in the story.

PM a link to me if you find a vid of it.

I am currently playing Dead Space right now. Is the best surviaval horror game I ever played!

BTW For some reason I never played Fire Emblen. But the game looks good. Makes me wanna play it now. >.<

I've only played Sacred stones, but I loved it. 

[Acacia Sgt]

My favorite is Sealed Sword. I've only played the three GBA ones, plus FE4. Of 4, never made it past the first chapter.

[V_Translanka]

You know why I don't like numbers on the FE series? Because people don't do it for the Zeldas (exception being AoL sometimes because it was actually called Zelda II...and maybe a little because of America Online...>_>)! And the FE series is at least as awesome as Link's enormous (-ly entertaining) fetch quests.

[Acacia Sgt]

And does the number makes it sound less awesome? I don't see how that works.
