DRP: And yet so many previous NPCs now are.
Grant: One criticism of Radiant Dawn that I agree with is that it has poor unit balancing. I still feel like it was a mistake to bring back virtually the entire cast from Path of Radiance back to Radiant Dawn. It’s WAY harder to get unit balancing right when you have to balance over 70 characters versus a cast of just over 40. If anything I think more characters should have either gotten the “Largo treatment” ie written out of the story and made unplayable OR they should have been killed off during the events of Path of Radiance. Either way, I don’t see Largo’s lack of playability as an issue.
Alan: But Calill gets his stat bonuses. I think it’s only fair that a man who pins tigers for fun lost an arm and isn’t able to fight so well anymore.
Braden: rip the dream. Calill consumed his gains (transfer bonuses) to grow stronker

- Olivier Cadieux talking about Chapter 4 - 3:
- “Fuck this map
- ...
- I guess I'll still have to say why lol
- It's a giant desert map filled with status staves and lots of dangerous enemies - but the worst part is that this map has a route objective despite everything I have mentioned above.
- Oh, and I *think* most of the staves are enemy only, tho I might be wrong”
DRP: I can’t hear your criticisms over the sounds of me shouting in delight as I slaughter everything in this desert with Naesala while gaining Baselard and Stefan and watching the Black Knight kick ass one last time.
Alan: The problems here are over exaggerated. Yes, it’s a rout map on a desert. However, there is only one status staff in the enemy’s midst, being a silence staff, and there are several precautions made to keep this map from being TOO MUCH of a slog. The game gives you a great number of fliers, mages, and laguz in the default Silver Army, meaning that while many units will be slowed down in this map, a great amount of the ones the game tries to give you won’t be.

Criticism: Sothe randomly becomes important. He went from a completely forgettable character in Path of Radiance to being one of the main characters in Radiant Dawn.
Braden: I don’t really understand this criticism. Wouldn’t it be a bit of plot convenience for him to be important for no reason in PoR? The fact that Sothe becomes much more relevant based on where he his and what/who he’s involved with makes the world feel much more real.
