Fire Emblem

[Scarface]

Dammit

They can't stop with just one FE game. This game soooooo is like the Nintendo version of Shining Force. I love it, right now it owns my life.

I seriously love it, simple yet fun.

*cries*

This game better do good so that Nintendo hears my cries and releases all the other games out as well.

[Siendra]

Hey, it isn't just your cries they need to hear.

I wont get to play FE7 for awhile. I'm not getting it until christmas.

[Sheri_Chan]

Oh yeah, it's out already right? I'll have to remember to pick up a copy when I get the money -o-;

[Arsinol]

The commercial is weird. :|

[Amon]

The commercial is weird but I like the game. It's pretty fun so far.

[Shocking Alberto]

Difficulty ramps up suddenly. It had been a pushover till then. But hard is good.

[Simmaria]

does this game play anything like shining force? cause im really interested in buying it, but im not sure i want another tactics ogre/ff tactics game.

[Shocking Alberto]

You could say that Shining Force plays alot like this game since this series came out first. But to answer your question, yes it does.

[Hyaku-Shiki]

How does it compare to the other 6 FE games?

[pigz4brains]

I'm not really into strategy games, but I like RPG's, do you think I will like it? I played FFT when it was on the PS, but I couldn't get into it.

[sazae]

This game actually looks pretty good. I never played the originals when they came out, I can't believe I didn't since I'm in Japan so much, but I'm going out and buying the game tomorrow. My wife says I gotta go and buy it so that she can play it when we move and I'm doing all the work and she'll be bored just sitting around.

[LinkOcarinaMan]

DAMN I just bought the game today.

IT IS SO GOOD

So far it is well on its way to being the best strategy game I have ever played.

God I love Nintendo. Whenever I have lost faith in the gaming industry they are always there to pick me up and make me realize everything is not that bad.

From what I've seen, it's very similar to 6, only this time, it starts off with a tutorial mode (which is WAY less annoying than Advance Wars' tutorial). Also, I believe it's a lot easier than the older ones. But don't worry. From what I hear, the game is no walk in the park. It does get challenging.

[Siendra]

I've played all 6 of the other FE games, but I cant tell you how they compare to 7 since I havent played it.

I love Nintendo. They were actually serious when they said they would release Fire Emblem and Custom Robo here. :crush:

[Dalmain]

They need to bring the other FE games. I had FE4 but in japanese. I heard these are some of the best stradegy games, just the thought makes me drool.

[LinkOcarinaMan]

Can I say it right now?

Ok I will

Fire Emblem is god

[Siendra]

The god of tactical/RPG's. When you play Custom Robo, you'll probably say the same thing. ;)

Lots of good looking girls in this too. Priscilla, awwww yeah. :crush:

Ack!

I was just about to post that I was planning to pick this up and give it a shot then I clicked on the link to that horrid piece of trash lol......

Maybe some liked the anime but for me I would have rather grinded a guard rail with a math book than to watch that crap again. It still sits on my shelf covered with dust lol.....


but back on topic I'm done with FFT and AW2 I wanna try this out!

[tronica]

Damn, I want this game so badly. I,m going to get this game next.

[Scarface]

Like now, I really want to know the stories of the other FE heroes.

Like Marth and Roy.

Gawd, some english FE love please!

[Magus1307]

Damn, I really need to pick this up SOON!!! From what I hear, this is one of the better games on GBA. And if ya want to know about Marth story, or, should I say Mars ::shutters:: you can watch the train wreack that is the FE Anime

[Scarface]

That's ok I'll pass.......if this game does well(BUY THIS GAME) they would do well by re-releasing the other 6 games.

[Magus1307]

Bah, this is Nintendo, It won't happen, now only if it was Square-Enix, then we would be in buiness

[sfried]

:in Bevis tone: "Fire! Fire! Fire Emblem! He hehe! Hehehe! Fire! I want SP for my bunghole!"

I feel like I really need this game but not. Anyways, I've spent so much this month that I won't be spending for a while, not even on Mario Kart.

[Scarface]

um yeah sure.....

*coughseikendensetsu3cough*

[Siendra]

Nintendo is also using this game as a market test. Sources at NOC have already confirmed that for me. If it does well, the future titles will be released here and we may see the previous games in a collection, but more likely, as remakes. Yes, I had this confirmed earlier today.

It's going to be the same with CustomRobo GC(Yes, I love this series. :crush: )

Bah, 6 was okay.

4 was the best.

Ayra 0wnz.

[Magatsu]

wow surprisingly good game, (wink wink) that we never got over here. I wanna play the other titles, but in english. Anyone know if they are gonna translate these titles?

No, probably not. They were released way back for the NES and SNES. This was probably the only FE America will get. There may be a fan translated versions, my brother have fan translated versions of FF3 and FF5. They did a pretty good job. So I say either import the gmes and learn Japenese, or wait to see if Nintendo of America release the older FEs for the GBA. Or you can look for fan translated versions.

[neiru_3]

That reminds me I want this FE game too. It will be the first game I purchase with my GBA. I have FE4, but I can't read Japanese. That sucks so much.

[Magatsu]

It is a good game, I like it almost as much as golden sun 2.

[Nash]

Bump!

I figured I wouldn't go and make a new Fire Emblem threasd if there was one already made.

FE10 is coming out for the Wii.

and it seems like two other FE games have come out since this thread had gone extinct.

From the three games I got the chance to play, I think my favorite character has to be Innes from FE8: The Sacred Stones. I usually hate archer type characters, but, man if he wasn't awesome.

That seems to be the cover art for the newest game in the series.

Sothe, along with a boat load of characters from FE9 seem to be returning.

Some of those characters appear to be: Ike, Shinon, Rolf, Elincia, Geoffrey, Zihawk and many more.

[senseinobaka]

My God a 3 year old bumb.
Anyway, is the one on gc 7 or 8 and are the missing ones available in the US?

Also is FE like FF in the non-linear way?

[Akito]

Anyway, is the one on gc 7 or 8 and are the missing ones available in the US?
The Fire Emblem games aren't officially numbered, but if they were, the GC one would be #9.

Even though I heard of "Fire Emblem" because of the appearances of Marth and Roy in "Super Smash Bros. Melee," I did not pay attention to the games released on the Game Boy Advance or the GameCube (I was at that time focusing my interest on other hobbies). It was not until a few weeks ago that I became interested in this series, and watched several videos on YouTube on some of the recent games.

Tell me, what makes this game different from "Final Fantasy Tactics," a game that uses a similar battle system as found in the "Fire Emblem" series?

[Akito]

The biggest difference is that Fire Emblem is a completely straight-forward game, whereas in Final Fantasy Tactics you can do as much grinding as you want before entering the next battle. This definately makes the FE games a lot more challenging. Weapons break after a while, characters die permenantly if defeated in battle, and there is only so much experience to go around due to the limited number of enemies in each battle, so you have to factor that into your strategy as well.

[crow-kun]

characters die permenantly if defeated in battleThat happens in Final Fantasy Tactics too.

[Nash]

Not really. It only happens if you did not revive them in time. In Fire Emblem, once their HPs reach zero, they are gone for good.

same different

[Akito]

FFT is more forgiving because you can always rescue them. In Fire Emblem, when a character unexpectedly dies (perhaps due to a critical hit from the enemy), then it's tough sh*t for you. You either have to continue the game without them or restart the battle.

[Nash]

You have three turns to save someone in FFT, so no, not same difference.

FFT you can just have one person sweep the entire stage with minimal consequences. In FE you need to plan your attacks a little more carefully or else you will end up with a lot of casualities.

Plus, there are no creatable characters in FE, and also when you fight , you switch over to a nicely sprited 2D grid, unlike FFT.

Character portraits pop up when people talk, and you can also talk to comrades, enemy units, friendly locals in the area and fight in nearby arenas in FE. In FFT, it's mostly straight foward until the stage requirement is complete.

And that's what always got me. Once you play FFT then you're completely spoiled because you're under the assumption your characters will come back. Wrong assumption. I had to give up about halfway through once the battles got a lot harder.

[DarkNataku]

And your stats grow at random so you might get a strong character your first play but next time it just crap.

Hope they release some new info on Fire Emblem: Goddess of Dawn.

I want Soren back! And Ike's Occult skill was amazing.

Archers were easier to use in the handheld versions than the GC one, or it seemed so anyway. Except for the Paladins who could use bows, move, shoot, move.

[Nash]

He prolly wasn't the best archer unit in his game, but I used him regardless.

In those games, I think it is more fun using characters you like, regardless of their worth, then to just use characters who easily dominate.

I made Innes a bad arse archer.

[DarkNataku]

Here is a site with some info (http://myweb.tiscali.co.uk/elaice/fe10/)
Kinda sux because i really didn't level up Sothe.

[Nash]

He was the only unit unable to promote.

He wasn't that good end game, but as a pre promotion unit, I heard he was good, if not hard to level.

[cris]

I just got Fire Emblem Wii, but if you like challanges, you guys will be happy with the implement of hard mode, it's definately a lot harder that what I have ever played through other FE series I've played.

There's also an Easy mode for begginers, which is much tamer than your Hard and slightly more friendly than Normal mode.

They did an excellent job on this version in terms of bringing old people back to the series and also welcoming new people to the series / war simulation games.

Only on 2nd stage, but already enjoying it very much.
**Hard Mode is hard because the heroine can get one shotted so easily, placement/movement is very important on Hard mode a lot.

[DarkNataku]

They took out the bonus exp which was the best in the last game because i could level up Mist and Rhys without getting them killed and having to start the chapter over again.

[Nash]

Ouch, that doesn't sting a bit. lol

Good thing Rhys was a lamer, and Shinon was a lot cooler. >_>

[DarkNataku]

Well Mist cleric class allows her to use swords and staff. Which is nice, I wonder why she had her own sword if she couldn't wield it until she promoted but now when you promote you get the skill Sol.
