It's kind of silly for people to be sour about the likelihood of Casual Mode in FE14.

I think it's one of the best thing to happen to the series. The game is more accessible and less rigid, so it now has more fans than ever. I think a good direction for the series is preserving the old, yet extending to new horizons at the same time. People like me can continue to enjoy Classic Mode, old faces like Tiki, the harder difficulty settings, etc., while new people are coming into a new game without gruellingly painful difficulty or permanent death, and the nice addition of voice acting to help battles feel more lively.

I disagree, because Casual mode is the worst thing that happened to the series, it took it out of my elitist circle of Nintendo games people didn't care much about, and turned it into mainstream garbage.
Now i have to go back and play Sin and Punishment again, at least until Nintendo decides to screw me over again by making an outstanding game and ruining it for me, just like they did with Kid Icarus: Uprising!!!!
SERIOUSLY SCREW NINTENDO AND THEIR BOLDNESS TO SCREW WITH MY PARADISE!!!!

I hope that if we get DLC beyond Mewtwo, music is one of them. If we get them through free updates, fantabulous! If it's paid DLC, perhaps they can justify including the music by added a new stage to go with it. Maybe put Arena Ferox in the Wii U version and add Destiny (Ablaze) and a bunch of other Awakening songs like Rival. Though a brand new stage would be better (personally, I want the stage to handle 8-player smash).

This. I've been wanting this since before DLC was a thing.
What they should do, however, is restore all the songs that were horribly butchered to fit under two minutes.

IGN means "10/10 GOTY."

"GWAHAHA! Great dark hurricane! Seriously, perfect backdrop for an awesome final battle! You really sweat the details! Listen up! You're saying the kingdom will vanish? NOT TODAY! THIS KINGDOM IS ALL MINE! SO YOU VANISH!"

Real talk, I think that this theme is better than the final boss theme in Bowser's Inside Story:

I wish there were more tracks from Awakening in Smash 4. Seriously. Considering it's one of the two series in the game to get two newcomers and Kid Icarus: Uprising got a metric ****ton of new music.
Id~Purpose and Duty is great, but I find Conquest to be rather overrated.
Where's Divine Decree, Destiny, Storm Clouds, or Mastermind (although this one's somewhat short, it's still really epic)?

Yes! I would love more Awakening music! Especially Divine Decree! YEEES!

You know, I love Casual Mode in Awakening. I mean, I am always up for a challenge, but I also enjoy playing games that I can sit down, relax, and just play. I like Normal/Casual as I can have that experience and really appreciate the content that was added and the characters within the game. It's also convenient how I don't lose units as I am going to reset the game anyway if a unit permanently dies... and I hate doing that.

This. I've been wanting this since before DLC was a thing.

Like Id~Purpose. It's just not the same to me with it being cut down...
I don't care if the song is 4 minutes long; matches can go on that long. Also, I noticed Mechanical Rhythm goes on for 3 minutes. Why wasn't that song cut down?

Id (Purpose), the DK Rap, Engage the Enemy. Those are the three that I know that have fallen victim to the two minute standard. There are some songs that are over two minutes, yet these three, and possibly more have to be in two minutes.

I never play 2 minute matches. I mostly play 8-player, 99 stock, 300% smash. Which reminds me. I'll be back in about 20 minutes.

DK RAP. Id Purpose I can understand, even though it really sucks that it was shortened, by WHY the DK Rap? And of all the verses to cut...why Lanky Kong?!

 

[Deleted member]

DK RAP. Id Purpose I can understand, even though it really sucks that it was shortened, by WHY the DK Rap? And of all the verses to cut...why Lanky Kong?!

Because he has no style, or grace, and he has a funny face.
In all seriousness, I hated how they cut the DK Rap...
And Engage the Enemy. Why did they cut that song? Gaur Plains (Night) is also horribly butchered because of the 2 minute limit.

 

[Kotor]

DK RAP. Id Purpose I can understand, even though it really sucks that it was shortened, by WHY the DK Rap? And of all the verses to cut...why Lanky Kong?!

It is a tragedy, but Lanky's verse will live on through parodies.

I'm fine with the idea of Casual coming back. In fact, I quite enjoyed it's addition after my first run in the game on classic. But I feel like Classic mode should be more incentive rather than it just being something more of a challenge for the player alone. Like, I don't feel the need to ever play classic mode again after doing it once.

 

[The_Cardinal]

Casual is probably here to stay. Now the difficulty mode that gotta change is lunatic+. I'm not saying it should go, but it should be adjusted, somehow.

 

[Antonykun]

On the subject of casual mode, I can only stomach lunatic mode when its on Casual

Casual's fine for newcomers like myself.

Wait...You DARE to insult the greatness that is Kid Icarus: Uprising?!

[Coolpool2]

I've never used casual mode, I feel like it's a comparable situation to smash brothers(the competitive side ironically). I support it because it lets someone play the game how they want to play it. If someone wants to just completely ignore strategy and Leeroy Jenkins their troops into a horde of enemies without fearing permadeath because they enjoy that, then they should be able to, while others enjoy formulating good plans of attack.

 

[The_Cardinal]

I actually like lunatic mode, after the first few chapters that is. Kinda wish I didn't grind so much though because the game became too easy. Heck, I wasn't even grinding because I thought the game was too hard. I just really, really wanted to get certain skills and actually get to use said skills for more than 5 chapters.

 

[WolfieXVII ❂]

Lunatic+ isn't that bad
I'm pay a lot more attention to the game because I actually have a challenge

[Weeman]

I don't really like it, mainly because the "challenge" itself doesn't rely in good map design most of the time but instead on making the enemies really OP, making you have to rely on Frederick for earlier maps and lots of grinding for later. I feel like it only really pays off once you get to the post game and you have your OP units yourself, but considering that can take like 35+ hours i just think it isn't worth it.

Divine Decree, especially the fighting (Ablaze?) version, is ****ing amazing, but I think it's too militant for Smash Brothers.

Destiny, yeah, that should be in there.

[Chapter Serf]

In other news, I just flattened Grima. Chrom is a ****ing beast and 3 shots and she was dead. Probably gonna tie up loose ends on the playthrough (get the last few people hitched, get the children and get the children hitched, pick up the SpotPass extras) and put the game down for a time.

Then I'll go and play on Hard since Normal was a bit of joke. Only time I lost a unit on Normal was if I was a ****** (left a flier out to get pulverized by an archer or misjudged my unit's strength) or the AI got stupid lucky.

I'm really hoping for something cool to happen with S&P. Been wanting a new game.

 

[NonSpecificGuy]

Well, it's true. @ender_idk has outdone @ NonSpecificGuy for a few weeks now in the like department.

That said, it's helped to flesh out NSG as being more than just the like guy. He's a pretty cool person and I hope people will better be able to realize his other qualities.

I have yet to miss a single post. What you taking about Hong?

Nah, @ender_idk is my bro though. I see him just about everywhere I go.

 

[Hong]

They need to bring the Tellius model of difficulty. Less ridiculous stat and skill ramp-up, and more enemies with less XP rewarded. All about being able mathematically assess if your Titania can withstand all those 7-12 damage hits versus whether or not the reinforcements who appear will have Counter and ORKO her. You can account for it, but it's still stupid.

I have yet to miss a single post. What you taking about Hong?

Well yeah, but you actually sleep.

Edit - I can drop a pen right now and @ender_idk will like it before it can touch the ground.

 

[Chapter Serf]

Lunatic+ sounds like it's more luck than anything by getting a combination of enemy equipment and skills that won't flatten you in the first two turns.

And that, in my opinion, is dumb.

Harder enemies, yes, more aggressive enemies, please, but don't make me rely on your damn RNG any more than I have to to win.

I tucked him into bed, told him stories of dreamers and heroes, and played Zelda's Lullaby on my ocarina.

[BindingShield]

It seems my luck with amiibo seems to be the reverse of how hard I'm looking for them.
No I'm being serious, the RNG, which let's the enemy with ten percent chance of hit and two percent to crit hit, and the enemy with 95 percent chance to hit miss, seems to work in real life.
A month ago, I decided to drop by game stop to check out the preowned games and off handedly asked about Robin preorders, and they apparently set up a system for transferring preorders.
Today I went to a best buy after my parents said they were dropping by and asked if I wanted to go... where I found both a mega man and a sonic.
The times when I go looking, I get jack, the times when I don't I get blessed.
Of course this also includes that foolish day when I held a perfect Marth in my hand at gamestop and put it back thinking "I'll just get Lucina when she comes out. I'll just get my mains..."

 

[Célja]

The amiibo situation is really silly. Due to this port strike in the US it's caused the amiibos to be in short stock and now it's really annoying to get the amiibos I really want. granted that I wsnt Robin and Lucina over everyone else but it's frustrating to see preorders being come and go like that. I managed to keep my preorder on Ike, but I haven't heard anything about it. I'm thinking of going on an adventure around my area to figure out if I can get any good finds.

 

[Antonykun]

time to scale the tips!

 

[Elezir]

Reading that talk about a harder FE:A without relying too much in luck earlier made wish that the enemies could do the pair up, too...again.
It doesn't even make sense that your units are the only ones that can do that! It's as if the pair up strategy is special to us!
You'd at least think that the enemy would catch on what you're doing and started doing too, since there's penalty at all to not pair up.

 

[Chapter Serf]

I think we need to have ourselves an invasion.
