Fire Emblem Echoes is coming out soon. Going to play it? Interested in Zelda 2 of Fire Emblem? Think the Japanese sales figure showing the dip in people's interest in Fire Emblem?

Hipsters.

>>377008039
Everyone who screams about the recent games are usually particular about one thing. Whether it be emphasis on pairing units or the way maps are structured. Best bet is to try it yourself and see.

If your the type who doesn't want to spend money unless satisfaction is ensured (pretty pleb way of gaming life if you ask me), hack your 3DS. You've got no excuse.
>>
>>377008301
Different anon here. I have a hacked 3DS, right now finishing Awakening and later planning to do Fates and then Shadows of Valentia. Is this a good idea?

>>377007372
>Think the Japanese sales figure showing the dip in people's interest in Fire Emblem?

More like nobody fucking cares about Gaiden, and a remake that's basically just a dressed up Gaiden isn't going to change that.

Warriors and FE Switch next year are where you want to judge things.

>>377008453
Sure. If you want to get through Fates quicker, you can just play Conquest...it's by far the best route.

I managed to reserve a collection edition... only for the store to call me on Friday to tell me that "for reasons out of their control" they won't hace the C.E in stock. Fuck them, now my only hope to get the C.E is a gamble at "polvos azules".
>>
>>377009234
Sacred Stone is pretty much Gaiden 2.0 in a few ways like world map. So maybe but Gaiden is pretty much it's own weird thing so who can actually say.

Fire Emblem Warrior Awakening/Fates edition away.
>>
>>377008039
Genealogy and Thracia are well received and probably the two games you should bother to go back and play. Gaiden is the black sheep and is now remade on the 3DS and 1&3 are remade on the DS so there's no reason to go back to play those games unless you really wanna play famic Fire Emblem for whatever reason.
Roy's game is probably the only real shit one.

That thread yesterday was full of retards who just want there to be localization drama for the sake of drama. That line everyone was freaking out about is nowhere near as bad as anything in Fates.

>>377012140
I have a feeling the reviews are gonna be bad because it's still the black sheep and is closer to older games and is too different from modern ones so people are gonna hate it.
ie. It doesn't play like Awakening or Fates therefore it's shit.

I have a placement studying abroad next year and thinking of buying a 3ds xl to play fire emblem, pokeymans and smt games since i wont have pc/tv/console.

Not had a hendheld since GBA, Am i right in thinking 3DS can also play DS games?

Was thinking of waiting for 2ds XL but I don't mind paying more for the 3D feature, that is if the 3D is decent?

Basically i guess im asking whether it's worth buying a 3ds or 2ds xl
>>
>>377012546
3DS games can still play DS games
The 3D effect can be really nice at times but it's purely optional and not really impactful in the long run. I use it sparingly and it's usually just to see how the game looks in 3D then I turn it off after a few hours.
If you don't really give a shit about the 3D effect just grab a 2DS

I thought it might be more of a gimmick.

Fates ruined everything in every possible way. Waifu became the norm and because of the removal of petting all anyone now cares about is hating on any localization they see. Now all anyone can ever talk about is how much NoA or whomever does the localization will butcher it.
>>
Fates almost make me quit the franchise and this game seems like want to be even worse.
I will probably wait the reviews and the reaction of the players before buying it.
>>
>>377008301
My issue with the newer ones is that you're able to grind out levels. It feels like they didn't care about map balance because, the player will always have the option to get more xp to beat the chapter.

There's a reason why Conquest maps in fates are way better than the others in fates.
>>
>>377013927
Nah, there's nothing like that. Promote all your villager units as soon as they're able to, it's not worth it to wait for extra stats unless it's Alm/Celica since they promote during the story and I think they have finite levels available to them.
When you promote, your unit's stats get bumped up to the class's base stats if they didn't make it there yet. Also even though they bumped up growth rates from the original, I don't think I've seen as many single stat levels ups in a loong time.

>Makes me wonder what it'll do to FE's status at Nintendo.
it did LITERALLY nothing to change how Nintendo is currently looking at FE's popularity, they most likely at ISIS said to nintendo "Hey you know how our old time fans are all bitching about how the new games are shit and pander to casuals and waifu fags? Well can we put together a B-Tier team and start doing remakes, which we say right now won't do amazing but will sale some while the A-Team makes the main series with Waifus and sells tons?" And nintendo says "Yeah sure whatever as long as the Main series sales well we don't care"

Its true, and the poor sales of Echoes just reaffirms that MUs are something FE needs now. This being /v/ going to go full hyperbole, overreacting thinking that means some Mary Sue shit like Robin or Corrin, and not a less spotlight stealing Kris.

>>377016247

Thanks fucking god. Hyrule Warior boss fights were the fucking worse part of that game. Mostly just sit around waiting for them to do their special attack so they can be actual damaged.
>>
>>377016389
>Bow and magic rape everything

Not really. Magic maybe, but all those later spells start costing like 6 HP or more, and mostly all archers you come across are slow as shit, not to mention bows are also fucking heavy, and early only they have shit accuracy. they're more for picking off units or weakening them
>>
>>377016389
Magic is strong because of the way Gaiden works.
Leon and Python are your only real solid archers, but the way hit/evasion and doubling work in Gaiden doesn't make it an issue.
Clive is the only "bad" cav in the game and he's decent to good at the very least. Mathilda and Zeke are fucking great and even Mycen is a good unit.
Valbar is a good unit and so is Lukas. Forscythe is probably the most useless one.
>>
>>377016682
Kris is worse than either of them, FE12fags are fucking retarded. Suck my dick, choke on it.
>>
>>377016725
I only really hated Manhandla and Phantom Ganon (still don't know what his gimmick is) desu, the rest of the giant bosses were really painless in comparison.
But god, fuck Manhandla with a stick.
>>
>>377016682
>Echoes did bad meme
Taking your shitty bait.
It sold 160K+ copies and was within projections. They weren't expecting another Awakening/Fates, and with how Gaiden is received in general it makes sense.
>>
>>377016924
Imprison can go to fucking hell personally. Think the real issue is they tried being cute with the elemental thing for extra damage but nearly everyone only had one element so you were either forced to play as a character who isn't strong against the boss and took forever or just used Link and finish it quickly.
>>
>>377017425
Oh yeah, I forgot Imprisoned existed. Yeah, he's kinda garbage as well, but he's not too bad in the 3DS port. I know that I was sitting for well over an hour on that square on the adventure map where you have to defeat 2 small ones and a big one with Fi.
I have no idea who the hell thought it was a good idea to give different damage to everyone's weak point finishes but he can go die in a fire.
>>
>>377012045
Gaiden is my favorite FE (for some reason). I even imported an old famicom copy after I beat it a couple years back. When they announced this remake, I was beyond excited.
>>
>>377007372

I'm going to pirate it
>>
>>377016924
Phantom Ganon was actually pretty easy. All you had to do was reflect his beam back to him, and then after that hit his back 3 times.

Manhandla is easily the worst. It rarely uses the move that makes it weak, and I've lost a shitton of A ranks to his bullet seed spam.

The Imprisoned is also complete shit, too. Especially since they love cramming it in keeps with two mini versions.
>>
>>377017597
>Oh yeah, I forgot Imprisoned existed
I wish I could forget Imprisoned for the rest of my life.
>>
>>377013408
If money isn't an issue might as well. Again, like you said the 3D is really just a gimmick. Although some games looks really nice with it like KI:U, some games don't even use it like Pokemon.
The library for the 3DS is solid in general so it really doesn't matter which one you get. It's not like any of the games use the 3D for more than the gimmick.
>>
>>377013517
But Gaiden has the best OST in the series...
>>
They NEVER chased Fates sales in Japan and never treated the game as something on the same level as a new entry. Why do you think FE Switch was announced during the same Direct? The game only started getting advertisement about 2 weeks before the release. Japanese fans complained about West getting more coverage than them.

Holy shit, I was not aware you could do this. That fight was such a clusterfuck on the 3DS I was just mashing attack with Master Sword Link and sometimes I could really tear into him, and I was just glad I was done with the fight.
I should get back to playing adventure maps, but I really wanted to get through Legend mode so I can and I kinda burned out in the process.
>>
There are no Dragon Knights in Echoes?
>>
>>377017761
Fates was better. The tracks in Echoes besides the Final map are really boring and uninspired.
>>
>>377018043
They weren't in the original game, plus they'd be hilariously outclassed by falcoknights.
>>
>>377017761
Echoes' OST biggest problem is the lack of map themes. Every chapter gets a separate version of Alm/Celica Map and that's it. There are some exceptions for more important maps but they didn't even bother making different themes for battles in dungeons.
>>
>>377018043
They weren't in Gaiden either.
>>
>>377017887
>Japanese fans complained about West getting more coverage than them
Japan always complain about that no matter what it is. They always feel like they are super special and need all the attention and if at any point they feel they aren't #1 they cry and cry and cry.
>>
>>377017425
>>377017597
>>377017686

The worst part about Imprisoned is that he's fucking HP gated. No matter how much damage you can put out, you'll be forced to watch that fat fuck slide around for 15 seconds straight at least 3 or 4 times.

Thracia was meant to be brutal though, that's the sole reason it exists. I think.
But yeah, all FEs have their own strengths and weaknesses, and sadly for Fates, that strength is 1/3rd of the game. Birthright is fine for worse players but Revelations shouldn't fucking exist.
>>
>>377020605
Birthright and conquest are the same game if you play Birthright on hard and conquest on normal. I have no idea why faggots are so desperate to make conquest seem good when it's only negligibly better than the kusoge that is fates.

Capture is fine, and healing makes sense, otherwise the skill stat is useless for them. It encourages you to capture/ steal more vulternarys/elixers as they are consistent. Honestly healing items are not put to good use in fire emblem, do a no healer run in a gba game of something and it's pretty interesting.

It's a shame, really, but I don't think Echoes has a chance, review-wise. I don't even hate Awakening/Fates, but the popularity they gave to FE is a double edged sword.

You're right actually, but seeing Fates, I don't think they'd be opposed of the idea of selling it like that; one cartridge is Genealogy and the other is Thracia, with the other version being buyable DLC.
There's no way Gaiden will be as popular as Awakening/Fates are in the west, but I hope this doesn't cement the fate of an Echoes subseries of remakes.

Grinding isn't worth it. The only ones who really need the bonus stats are Alm and Celica. You should promote as early as possible because you need to keep up.
>>
>>377021573
I played on hard and ignatius was made into a berserker with camilla as the mom. He was invincible and tanked waves of enemies. Harder modes on neo-fire emblem just makes it more RNG as enemies are given small crit rates you have no control over.

Fire emblem has always been babies TBS game. It's pathetic when people think they are part of the cool kids club for playing casual games on dumb difficulties and autistically min/maxing shit. instead of doing low turn count runs or playing a game that isn't weebshit.

Gaiden has no map design. Of course instead of remaking the game and fixing this they keep it non-existent because the devs are lazy hacks.

Sacred stones was the true gaiden remake anyway.

>>377022289
I decide which games are part of this series. Not you.
>>
>>377022073
Pots are fine and the enemies aren't that dumb. Some will hold their ground and there's staves they have. Its only lategame when it falls apart due to flierskips and enemies being too goddamn strong for normal strategies. Tell me how Conquest Lunatic can be done deathless with some staff fuckery. It can't. If the entire game got polish and the balance was better CQ would be godly in gamelay. But it didn't, which is a shame.
>>
>>377020784
The map game in Conquest is fire. Combined with limited EXP it plays like a more modern version of classic FE if you don't grind DLC areas.

Shame about the story though.
>>
>>377021792
Maybe but I feel IS is just going to do one Echoes game every other year and a new mainline the next. Guessing it's to calm the oldfags down. 6 and 7 I guess could be a bundle since it's more connected than Genealogy and 776 is.
>>
>>377022161
Not necessarily steal, but the continent of Valm is literally Valentia so it did borrow some maps from Gaiden, more notably the paralogues.
They're really insufferable in Gaiden/Echoes though.

That it doesn't matter which one you get as they are both shit.

Sacred Stones: It's possible to grind Even though it's entirely unnecessary except for the postgame stuff which is both cool and a good bonus. It's a good game.

Path of Radiance: You know how people call people "awakening babies" because they got into the franchise recently? That's what people used to call people who got into it with this game, except unlike awakening this game is really good. Biggest downside is that this is when they ditched sprites so there's no reason to ever have battle scenes on.

Radiant Dawn: Not very good.

Shadow Dragon & NEW mystery of the emblem. A subpar remake of 1 and 3 (which itself was a remake of 1 + some extra). Also added in avatar combat. At least that's what I've heard since I never actually bothered to play these ones.

Awakening: Waifus. Also the map design is pure trash, you can grind characters endlessly so everyone is at stat cap, and the skill system is completely broken.

Fates; Birthright: ABSOLUTE GARBAGE.The reason you were supposed to pick this route was because it was the EZ mode with the better story but because every part of Fates story is irredeemably shit there is nothing propping up the mind numbing gameplay.

Conquest: Really really good map design. You should probably play it, just ignore the story altogether.

Revelations: Mostly reused maps from the other 2 with some gimmick added on. You have access to almost all the units but you get some of the fun ones so late they're pointless.
>>
>>377023413
No you can't. Birthright wishes it has the equivalent map design with the map layouts and enemy design as Conquest. I mean look at chapter 21 for both routes and see how the faceless stats' and map layout in each one contrast with each other.
>>
>>377007372

Can I expect good story or writing from this one, or is it gonna be the same trash as Awakening and fate ?
>>
>>377019949
Huge fucking meme. Compared to Awakening/Birthright its good, but it suffers from writing, characters, and the only gameplay improvement is from Awakening's fuck up.

It's parroted because there were a few good maps and because it generates (You)'s from older fans/people pissed at the localization

asap

maybe it is because gaiden was always the literally who of fire emblem and has radically different gameplay compared to every other one.
>>
>>377024778
I really didn't like it very much, mainly because I felt it did most everything a little bit worse than PoR which is probably my favorite after 4.

If you want an actualy list of what I disliked about it:

Supports were neutered because buddy support. Took out some of my motivation to replay the game.

Forging felt a bit too good, but I dunno maybe that was just me.

That terrain height shit was kinda cool but also felt like the worst implementation of it I've seen in any SRPG.

Aside from those things I just felt the maps were just kinda mediocre. Not terrible per se, but just mediocre. Nothing really stood out to me.

I will say that because I disliked it when first playing it I haven't touched it in like 6 years so maybe my opinion would change now that I'm more into the series but for my thrid FE game it really disappointed me compared to SS and PoR.

It was always going to be a game made by Atlus.

Their SRPGs fucking blow, which isn't what you'd want out of a Fire Emblem crossover.

It'd also be boring as fuck to have a bunch of undefined personality characters meet up for the crossover in a bad SRPG, because Namco has the market cornered on that with SRW, NxC, PXZ, etc.

Instead we got a good Megaten game out of a good Megaten developer.

I believe you, conquest is the same shit as Birthright minus 2 or 3 maps that standout in conquest. People overrate that shit

I remember someone half-guessed that FE units will be redesigned to look closer to Megaten demons and the game won't used Atlus' standard library of demons.

I am wondering how Warriors is going to be. Kind of worried it will be 90% Awakening and Fates. But Koei tends to have a good understanding of the community when making their IP musou games.

Start with Blazing Sword, gives you a good rundown on the mechanics and how they work in the early tutorial, just look up how to do supports and you're good.

Then go on to Sacred Stones, Path of Radiance, and Shadow Dragon for some easy, but fun games.

Then once you're ready for something a little bit tougher, try Sword of Seals(Blazing Sword sequel), Geneology of the Holy War, and New Mystery of the Emblem(Shadow Dragon sequel). If you must play Fates for whatever reason, only bother with Conquest and ignore the story. Birthright and Revelations are shit.

Then when you want a real challenge, move onto Thracia and Radiant Dawn.

FE1, FE2, and FE3 are kind of pointless to play now because of the superior remakes.

Fates had the most astronomically bad writing in Fire Emblem, and likely ranks pretty high on a list of worst writing in video game history. If that was your primary issue then Echoes will probably work out a lot smoother for you. Though it's a remake of a very old game and the map design stayed faithful, so it's considerably outdated in that regard, If you're not the type to be bothered by that sort of thing, then you oughta be good to go.

I guess the manga guy wrote a shit ton but IS felt they needed to fix it up to work in FE. Since each Chapter needs a big fight of some kind. I truly wish somehow the real story gets leaked somewhere and we can see how much IS honestly changed up and what was kept.

>fe1 (shadow dragon and blade of light)
First of its kind, fine game but a bit hard to play by todays standards because of the awful engine
>fe2 (gaiden)
Zelda 2 wacky changeup, very much like a standard famicom rpg
>fe3 (mystery)
Huge improvement over FE1, also contains a flawed remake of it on the cart
>fe4 (genealogy)
Multigenerational epic told through hit-or-miss xboxhueg maps
>fe5 (thracia 776)
The best game in the series imo, refines fe3's gameplay formula and adds to fe4's already great story
>fe6 (binding blade)
Dumbed-down rehash of fe5 made from the tattered remains of a cancelled n64 game, not a bad little title on its own though
>fe7 (blazing sword)
The "Gundam Wing" of fire emblem, arguably a good starting point. Prequel to fe6.
>fe8 (sacred stones)
A step back in some aspects, a step forward in most. The first fe since gaiden to allow optional grinding
>fe9 (path of radiance)
Ike's game, high-quality and consistent
>fe10 (radiant dawn)
Sequel to fe9, better gameplay but kind of ruins the nice plot the precious game set up
>fe11 (shadow dragon)
Another remake of fe1, much better to pick up and play due to not being slow as balls
>fe12 (new mystery)
Remake of fe3, kind of ruins it though and should be avoided, though most people won't tell you that because no one played original fe3 lol
>fe13 (awakening)
Arguably the worst game in the series besides 2 and 14 (rev), boring grindy garbage

Great game but don't start with it, it'll twist your testicles

Magic should've been more varied having red, blue, and green variants. Bows and shurikens should've existed outside the triangle and been neutral.

Archers are some of the strongest units in Fates. They are literally long range axes with high accuracy.

25 chapters, Plus a 5 chapter prologue, and 5 sidequests which you can only get by killing off your army.
It's not particularly long, especially if you abuse warp staves, but I'd say it was decent and doesn't deserve the bad rep it gets, you probably will end up missing supports and rescue though

This system is shit and unbalanced. Blue Mages have been the main meta forever and has yet to stop. Fates has the perfect triangle they just need to buff magic. Helps that unlike other games the weapon triangle stays in effect throughout the whole game.
>>
>>377024778
>>377025463

FE10 is incredibly polarized. For every great map there's a terrible slog. Some parts of the story are well written while others dip down into Fates-tier retardation. It also doesn't help that support conversations were castrated and unit balance is all over the place.

FE10 was rushed and it shows.

Of all the lolis they could have picked why Agitha? I mean I guess they didn't want too much OoT but man nothing about Agitha was good. Her design was awful and her combat was even worse. I would have gladly just taken Saria. Or hell if they wanted a TP girl just used whatever the girl that was meant to be your love interest (I guess that's what they were going for) instead for random girl you never really talk to.

Not with how it's been advertised compared to Fates. Besides there are good number of people here who aren't interested in Echoes because of the lack of self inserts and marriage.
>>
>>377049910
The sales dipped in Japan because it's FUCKING GAIDEN.
>>
For those who've played through the game, is it good? I've played FE7, Sacred Stones, and Awakening. I realize Gaiden is the black sheep in the series, so I'm pretty open minded about what to expect when I play Shadows of Valentia? I skipped Fates because of the three campaign shit and hearing about it being underwhelming, is the new game a step up?

>>377050579
>150$ season pass

What more do you need to know?
>>
>>377050579
Gaiden being the black sheep makes it pretty hard to compare to other FE games; it's already a love it or hate it game.
Maps range from jank to dogshit and was an issue with Gaiden and that didn't change.
The other system mechanics are pretty neat, like magic costing health to cast and mages having an individual spell pool. Dungeon Crawling is alright.
Story and setting wise Echoes expands on Gaiden's barebones setting and plot and gives it a lot of much needed world building. The characters are alright too.
Still, there's a reason why the nip's sales target for Echoes was lower than Fates. It still met them though so I guess it says something.
Personally I like Gaiden and Echoes but there are valid reasons why people don't.

The devs described it as "the last mainline Fire Emblem on the 3DS"

Considering all the cross promo going for it in the card game and heroes, I don't think they view it as filler like how Shadow Dragon actually had an impact and almost killed the series.
>>
So. How is the writing in this game? I mean the story can be shit as long as the game has good dialogues. I just hope it's better than Awakening and Fates.
>>
>>377057512
It's still filler, but it's more the kind of filler that fills their wallet. Cross-promotion is a money-spinning exercise, and the game itself would have been very cheap to make. This keeps them topped up as they move to the Switch and have to start making proper 3d models for once.

>>377023640
>Fates; Birthright: ABSOLUTE GARBAGE.The reason you were supposed to pick this route was because it was the EZ mode with the better story but because every part of Fates story is irredeemably shit there is nothing propping up the mind numbing gameplay.
>Conquest: Really really good map design. You should probably play it, just ignore the story altogether.
>Revelations: Mostly reused maps from the other 2 with some gimmick added on. You have access to almost all the units but you get some of the fun ones so late they're pointless.

Yo real talk why is fates mechanically so solid but then the writing is fucking garbage in the one with traditional fire emblemery I haven't beaten it since I've been busy since it came out I got laid off, I was on a job hunt, I got a fucking dope ass bank money job. When I did sit down and play it the actual mechanics are spectacular. The changes made to debuffs (ninja daggers) and adding ranged weapons to the triangle were good shit.

The story however is the worst thing ever. If you're a story fag it's hard to not watch it when you get to the VN parts, but every cutscene leaves you wishing you skipped it since its so goddamn bad. I'm probably gonna beat conquest before the middle of summer after what like two years of it being out and then dip my toes in conquest since takumi is cool. I got the special edition all in one but should have just sprung for conquest.

I missed any good conversation about fates because everyone was too busy being faggots about losing pokemonamie in america.

Having played Echoes about a month back when the JP version leaked I can say I really didn't like it.

Maps are cruddy, but everyone should already know that

Dungeons got real boring, real fast and then they got extremely tedious. Looking at you, Duma's Tower, that one last dungeon with Berkut and Grima's dungeon. The fatigue system is a complete non factor, because I literally ran out of storage space for food items it was so common.

Equip system is kind of meh. It's OK, but not very interesting and it kind of makes my options in battle less varied, since I can only carry one weapon with 3 skills max or no weapon at all. Unless I piggyback Alm/Celica on them.

The music is nice, but I dislike the battle theme. The only music that really sticks in my mind is Alm map 1 and Celica map 1 and 3.

Game has an inexcusably low amount of supports. Saber literally gets 1. And it ain't even with Celica, it's with Jesse. You'd think he'd have something to say with his contractor.

Nice meme DLC is kind of annoying. For how boring the class diversity was, slapping upper tiers on DLC is worse.

All in all, I liked the gameplay in Fates more.

Check /feg/ pastebin, they should have it.

Pairings are even more important than Awakening and Fates, a good pairing can lead to a demigod that gets 1 speed every level 100% of the time, and a bad pairing can render them awful.

Maps are supposed to be entire countries, so maps are fucking huge.
>>
>>377063395
>what makes revelations so bad?
Gameplay, Story, etc...

Not him, but I'd give the entirety of Fates the warglbargl. Not sure how people are enjoying Conquest's gameplay, it's just standard FE with Fates' dumb gimmicks and slight mechanic changes.

FE's standard gameplay is fucking trash that is only slightly better than blatant waifubait like Luminous Arc and Stella Glow.

>>377062450
Low hit rate even with 2 RN, poor growths, they throw a lot of units at you that just end up on the bench, fucking Roy in general.
It was kind of a slog to play through and honestly just felt like a prototype of 7, which in a sense it is, and I just didn't like it a whole lot.
>>
>>377063395
The story is about as nonsensical as Conquests, maybe slightly less so.

There are a few recycled maps, like the Mokushu ninja woods and Conquest Port map.

The maps which aren't recycled usually have some gimmick assigned to them, some of which are particularly annoying. Like one map is covered in ice that you need to smash, bit by bit to advance. It's annoying.

The unit balance is at an all time low. It's laughable how bad it is. Nyx joins in the same chapter as Shura as a level 10 unpromoted, while he's like Level 5 promoted or something. And her stats are not buffed at all. Many units suffer from being completely unusable without grinding because of this bizarre "balance".
>>
>>377063395
It's the game with the biggest cast yet deployment slots are more limited than ever and most of the characters you get starting out the gate are hot garbage. The only usable units without grinding are a handful of shitters and the royal siblings who completely dominate your limited deploy slots. The maps are tedious, gimmicky slogs that don't actually add much strategic depth and instead just drag your time out, and the DV-dependent nature of them means you're forced to use royals in case you wanted more variety in your team or something. Story is also complete shit, it advertises itself as Revelation but has no fucking story on THE ACTUAL MAIN ANTAGONIST OF ALL THREE GAMES BECAUSE THAT'S DLC TOO and he comes off as a generic evil dragon who wants to kill everyone for no real reason.

Roy being shit is kinda fun though. Makes you relay on your units. It felt different when most FE games has your lord being a god of death (Sigurd, Ike, Hector) its a nice change of pace.

The game doesn't explain much because it expected you to have bought the game when it came out in 1996 and read the manual. Pairings are extremely important. Some units can turn out to be downright fucking awful without an appropriate father where some units are reliably good regardless of who their father is. Pairings are also how you pass down weapons, including the legendary weapons.

>Don't even think about pairing Adean with anyone who isn't Jamke or Midayle because Lester will be hot garbage; Lana is a good healer regardless of who her father is because she inherits good growths and lots of staves from her mom.
>The only two good choices for Tailto are Azel or Lewyn because both of her kids are mages. Pairing Azel with Tailto gives both of her kids Pursuit and Wrath and frees up Lewyn to be paired with Erin.
>Erin's kids are a Pegasus Knight and a Sage. Lewyn is a good choice because they have a conversation in Chapter 4 to automatically fall in love. Both kids will have extremely good Speed and Skill. Ced will curbstomp everyone with Forseti. Fee may struggle to gain Strength, but inheriting a Brave Lance from her mom on top of Critical and Adept from Lewyn can make her useful.
>It's nearly impossible to fuck up Ayra's kids because she passes down Nihil, Astra, Pursuit, and good growths. Larcei will be unstoppable with her Brave Sword. Ulster is pretty good on his own.
>I paired Raquesis with Lex one playthrough and was really happy with it. Dermott gained lots of HP, Strength, and Defense and Paragon let him level quickly to keep up with the heavy hitters. Nanna will level fast, too. Nanna can heal fine with a Mend Staff for a while.
>I honestly think that Bridget's best pairing is Dew. Patty is irrelevant. Dew being Faval's father means that he gets good growths and Bargain to reduce the cost of repairing Yewfelle by 50%.
>Claude is the best pairing for Sylvia. Her son will be a great healer and use the Valkyrie staff.

He's saying that lowmanning is a strategy that has broken the difficulties of all the games in the series.

Sure of course, but the same can be said for other FE games. And what is "legitimately?" What's more legitimate; beating the Radiant Dawn endgame with all the laguz royals and other broken units, or using the weaker units that you've leveled up this entire time. Both are perfectly legitimate ways to play.

When I play Sacred Stones, I don't use Seth unless I absolutely have to in order to progress. And the same is for Awakening; I actually unequip Veteran to make it harder for myself. I just find that more fun.

Its like Chapter 21 in Conquest where its an escape mission. There is literally nothing stopping you from just pairing Corrin with Camilla, freezing the Faceless, and just rushing the map. But when I play that map, I play it the "legitimate" way, which is bringing a full roster. That's making it harder for myself though. But I prefer it that way.

It doesn't exist because they are different languages and express things differently. Japanese tends to imply a lot and trail at the end of sentences. That doesn't work in english so you need to find another way to make it obvious. As long as the original meaning is preserved and the original characters shines through it's fine. I actually hate 8-4 because of awakening's rewrites and especially henry but the echoes' supports and fragments I saw aren't really that different. Python probably jokes more and there's some unnecessary in my opinion lines here and there but nothing drastic.

You dumbass, this stupid idea of yours has zero relevance to what is happening here. There is nothing about the original dialogue that could not be conveyed the same way in English. The original dialogue is extremely simple statements and an implied insult. The English version adds new dialogue to change the tone of the character and change an implied insult to a direct insult, which was entirely unnecessary. This has absolutely nothing to do with "different languages expressing things differently", it's just a translator taking an unnecessary liberty with the dialogue in question.
>As long as the original meaning is preserved and the original characters shines through it's fine.

The japanese implied insult is still serious. You are just judging it with an english mindset. It is changed into a direct one to convey the same meaning. Nothing changes about their characters. They are still two blunt teenagers who bicker a lot and try to upstage each other hiding their fears.
>>
>>377068329
>The japanese implied insult is still serious.
How was I implying it wasn't?
>It is changed into a direct one to convey the same meaning.
No, it isn't. It's literally the exact same insult with the same severity if left implied in the English text, and all they had to do for that was to not rewrite it.
>Nothing changes about their characters.
The "big hurty lightning" rewrite does change the perception of the character, because they're talking like an idiot where they weren't before. You can have characters that act childish without talking like children.
The marshmallows insult changes the character, because they're making a direct insult where they weren't before. The implied insult is smug, the direct insult is brazen.

How hard is this to understand? There was no need to rewrite it, no meaning would have been lost if it wasn't rewritten. The rewrite does change the meaning, and if it didn't these dumb debates about it wouldn't keep coming up.

I'm not saying they had to rewrite it but I still don't think it changes much. They just made it a little more funny because in the end it's just a simple fight between two dumb kids who actually like each other. If you have to nitpick focus on something with more basis e.g. Celica's granpapa when she's always adressed Mycen with -sama in the original as opposed to Alm being way more casual. Or Mae completely dropping the lady when she's talking to Celica when classes and stuff are a central theme in SoV albeit more on Alm's side and the Deliverance.

I don't think it's a massive change either, my annoyance with it is primarily that it's an utterly needless one, and your previous post seemed to imply that you thought it was necessary to convey the simple lines of dialogue involved.

>Or Mae completely dropping the lady when she's talking to Celica when classes and stuff are a central theme in SoV albeit more on Alm's side and the Deliverance.
This actually worries me a lot more, because 8-4 completely fucked up their handling of class relations when it came to Maribelle's character and dialogues in Awakening.

I might be too lenient because awakening was so inaccurate anything that doesn't change the characters any more seems acceptable. Most people don't care enough about the original anyway and they love 8-4's humour so it feels kind of a lost battle. But at least Echoes so far seems pretty average.

I don't understand the hate Haruhi gets.
Remember when pachinko was announced with that Haruhi hunting, and we all hoped it was season 3?
season 3 never

Several reasons are legit, some are not.

Basically every game before Fire Emblem Radiant Dawn is good. The ones after it are a hate it or love it kind of deal.

Shadow Dragon and its sequel added class changing, which I personally don't find all that fun and really takes away from the strategy of the game since you can break the game easily. Not to mention that Shadow Dragon is a pretty bad remake, however, its sequel is actually pretty good.

Awakening is what brought back the series from the brink with waifus, the games storytelling aspect takes somewhat of a dive when it comes to support conversations and characterization while the character design gets completely thrown out the window, you will notice a massive difference. While the story itself isn't bad, and the game has some good character designs, some shit just wasn't palpable for the older fans like the armor designs and how personalities were reduced to shitty anime quirks. The other problem this game shares is that it has the most imbalanced Class Changing system of all and its probably the grindiest game, all while having incredibly shitty map design. For what it is, its a solid game, I enjoyed it as a fan of the series but its definitely at the bottom of my list.

Fates tries to appeal to older fans with Conquest, while appealing to the Awakening fans with Birthright and Revelations. This is mostly fine since Conquest has some of the best map design in ages of a Fire Emblem game, but the class changing is still kind of a turn off for me. However, ISIS did learn from their gameplay mistakes in Awakening and massively improved pair up mechanics as well as the class changing system so it doesn't feel as grindy, not to mention you can't grind in Conquest. I personally would rather see a return of skill scrolls instead of class changing however. Fates TRUE problem however, is the story. Fire emblem isn't known for having the best plots, but Fates story is complete dogshit.

Aside from gold,exp, and weapons related DLC.

Really liked the approach awakening had for DLC. More characters to enjoy that are relevant to the story. Aversa, Emmeryn, Priam. the other 3 don't have much of an opinion on. Aside from that literally a majority of einharnerds of all the previous FE games.

Fates DLC didn't really do much for me. The only content that seemed decent was the whole beach shit aside from that everything else seems forced even the amiibo.

This DLC manages to be even more pathethic.

I liked the gba ones and the game cube/wii ones

I bought a 3ds for awakening and didn't even finish it, ended up selling 3ds after and lost interest on the series

I still go back and play the gba ones on my psp from time to time
