Geoffrey and especially TANITH are bad?
WTF?
Have to second this!
Anyway, the big challenge run I've done for this game is, for every chapter, to use only the lowest-levelled PCs available. Everyone must be recruited and nobody must die (to make your character pool as wide as possible), and no overusing Ike/other forced characters. Pretty much the FE equivalent of a low-level game. I also banned stat boosters and BExp but that was just me being quirky and isn't really necessary. Fairly challenging, unlike most FE9 runs.
I don't think the game is like FE7 where it's easy to use different characters.. or is it?
Why wouldn't it be easy to use different characters? You mostly use the same group until Chapter 11 or so but after that the game opens up.
