Nexus Posted January 4, 2011 Report Share Posted January 4, 2011 Can't believe there's not already a thread for this. Anyone else here play it? I've finished 7, 8 and 9. I need to procure a Wii so as I can play 10, and I have a saved game for the DS version set up. I might restart it now, actually. Favourite game is 7, and then probably 9. I don't really like Laguz, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akuam4n Posted January 4, 2011 Report Share Posted January 4, 2011 (edited) I've beaten both of the ones for the GBA (playing The Sacred Stones right now on an emulator. ) and I have beaten the one they released for the Wii. I forgot it's name. It wasn't Radiant Dawn though. I know one thing, the one on the Wii was much harder than the others, for sure. I keep hoping they will release one for the Ds that has gorgeous sprites, everything updated, etc. But instead they are releasing ports, and releasing them for the Wii, with some of the worst graphics and animations, ever (I still love the game [the one I played on the Wii] but it looks so rough, and animations are atrocious).

Nexus Posted January 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2011 The remade one of the ones for the DS, but yeah, I want a new game. Preferably in a new world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bouchart Posted January 4, 2011 Report Share Posted January 4, 2011 I have Path of Radiance. I found the plot and gameplay mechanics kind of boring. I guess Final Fantasy Tactics and Tactics Ogre spoiled me when it comes to strategy RPGs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nexus Posted January 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2011 PoR is a lot different to the two GBA ones. It introduces the new mechanic of the Laguz, which I don't really like. The story itself is pretty good, it's less about dark magic and stuff, rather a tyrant trying to take over the world. Similar to the rest of the games, yes, but less emphasis, in my opinion. Eliwood/Lyndis' game is awesome for the plot and characters, and FE8 suffers from a weak Lord and rubbish support characters. Plus the final few battles are ridiculous.

Akuam4n Posted January 4, 2011 Report Share Posted January 4, 2011 Ephraim is op as fuck. And yes, the GBA ones do tend to be better. I'd recommend getting a rom and playing them if you can't find them anywhere / are too cheap to buy them, or have no DS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FMW Posted January 5, 2011 Report Share Posted January 5, 2011 Fire Emblem 8 is my favorite of the games I've played, hands down. I've played 8, 9, and Shadow Dragon. I really like the splitting story in 8, and I also like some of the crazier classes. It's less balanced than the other FE games I've played, but I found it really rewarding to raise little Ewan into a completely OP necromancer, or Amelia into a game breaking general. Actually, I really liked necromancers period. They did interesting things to battle strategy. I kinda wish Intelligent Systems would bring them back. It also helps that FE 8 was my first FE game. FE 9 was really long, which was good. It also had gorgeous CGI cutscenes. Sure, there were only 5 or so, but they were enough to let my imagination go wild with what the rest of the game was supposed to look like. In my head, every battle looks like those movies. I didn't like the story as much as FE 8 though. I also didn't care for the Laguz too much. FE Shadow Dragon is just an entirely different beast. It's much less the rock, paper, scissors game I'd grown accustomed to. It's bloody HARD! However, it's missing a significant story element and support conversations. The result is that the game feels kinda sterile to me. The characters never get a chance to become more than bundles of statistics. That said, I really really like the battle animations. Every FE game should have animations like these. I plan to buy Radiant Dawn someday but... It's expensive. It's impossible to even find at regular retail price, much less a discounted used price. I guess Nintendo didn't print many copies of the game or something, because this game skipped the phase where it's cheap, and went straight from new to sought after collectible. I keep hoping that I'll find a deal on it somewhere, but I guess that's becoming less likely every day... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MottZilla Posted January 13, 2011 Report Share Posted January 13, 2011 I liked Fire Emblem on the Famicom, FE and FE Gaiden. I also liked one of the ones on Super Famicom. Never played any of the ones actually released outside Japan though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
