Who needs a house out in Hackensack? Is that all you get for your money?
Good God, Lunatic is balls hard. I cannot get through round 2 without losing Chrom or Robin yet. I'm pumped for this game.

A lot of you have plans for your Avatars (I'm going full heavy armor, super defense General, etc.) but is anyone else going to feel weird using a different model after getting used to the default male in the demo?

Based on the Demo, the enemies in Hard aren't really any stronger than Normal, but there are more of them. The jump to Lunatic seems to double enemy stats, though, and give bosses them all better weapons. The play styles are totally different. Hard can still enable, at least in the first two stages, some tactics that keep all four (six) characters liquid and able to attack/heal in the same round. In Lunatic, my best strategy for getting past the prologue stage without losing Chrom/The Avatar is to play very defensively, and really lean on Fred's ability to one-shot Myrmidons and Mages.

It feels a bit strange, constantly backing off and drawing fire back to where I can deal with it, vs. rushing in and being able to 1-2 Play the enemy between Chrom's sword and The Avatar's magic, and not lose Lissa to a single attack.

I'll probably play Hard-Classic in the full game, since I imagine the challenge will ramp up after awhile, and I do want to keep most of my hair, but the Demo's jump between Normal to Hard is not nearly as dramatic as the jump between Hard to Lunatic. I can only imagine what Insane is like. I assume it's Lunatic stats plus double the enemy count, but it may be worse!

Curse you, end-of-the-month student loan payments! :argh:

Oh well, it's not like I was planning on getting it before the 4th anyway. :sigh:
