This changing around of difficulties introduced a glitch with an early revision of the US version sequel's data transfer feature where the game freezes if there are any Easy mode saves from Path of Radiance. In other difficulties, you just need to open their cell door to recruit them.Īlong with the removal of Maniac, the "Difficult" mode had enemies removed and enemy inventory load-outs were changed. When she first started out on her journey, life was particularly difficult, as she was often. She eventually decided to become a mage and left home to seek employment. Ilyana was born and raised in a town in Daein. She is a Mage who joins the Greil Mercenaries in Chapter 8 of Path of Radiance. Among other changes in Maniac mode are in Ch.10 where each of the prisoners have to escape the map in order to be recruited. Ilyana is a playable character from Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance and Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn. Bonus experience per chapter in Maniac mode is cut in half and overall experience gain per battle is subtracted by 5 compared to lower difficulties. Maniac mode features more and tougher enemies than the "Difficult" difficulty setting.


This was not a rename as the Maniac difficulty was removed and the Easy difficulty was added, leaving a harder level of play exclusive to the Japanese release. The western version instead features "Easy", "Normal" and "Difficult". The Japanese version of Path of Radiance features "Normal", "Hard", and "Maniac" modes, progressing from easier to harder in that order.
