Because you had to fill a shitton of stars to use it, and by then you should be steamrolling anyways

What was it about this game that made it so fondly memorable even after all these years?

kek

Its bright ambiance, cheerful music and artstyle, and enjoyable, if cliched character archetypes. I'd say anyway. Max a best. Jess best aesthetics, but shit mechanics.

how about the fucking good music, that's a pretty good reason. shit, just check the songs already linked.
anyway crayola commando is best mechanics, in what world is superpowered land vehicles not utterly imbalanced? once you start stacking offense/defense buffs in dual strike with extra buffs from your tag partner you have an absolutely impervious tonk brigade.

fuck off eagle. you shit.

You being 10~13 and with limited access to games when you first played it.

>>380736804
pile of shit ulti that needs like 50 stars to use

Nell, Hatchi, Collin, Sasha paired with anyone is fucking off the rails

>>380741887
fuck off

WHO /SAMI/ HERE?

>come for the hot girl
>stay for the 1 turn HQ capturing

Between this, Fire Emblem and FFTA, how the hell did one unassuming portable become such a stable of good tactics games?

I played this as a child and I still remember Kambei grinding my face across the dirt like it was nothing.

best CO comin through, better step back

Of course. Eagle already captured her HQ

Alright, so next E3 is going to be Advance Wars' time, right?

These. AW in general had some god-tier music.

Don't forget the simple pick up and play game mechanics that belied a whole lot of depth underneath that surface.

Shit like this is why I preferred AW over FE. The former was always a pure TBS unlike FE, which is enjoyable, but has too many RPG elements and RNG shit, which bugs the shit out of me. I just want to command my army without having to deal with permadeath and leveling up underleveled units. I also prefer AW's more modern, more 'fun' setting. The wrong series died, dammit.

>>380744732
I hope they make another FFT for the Switch. I'd definitely buy it then.

don't you die on me

DoR killes the series

even Dual Strike was already fortelling a downfall

2 was the best

>the best game in the series killed it
What meme is this?

>>380751118
It killed it in a good way.
It's now laid to rest, in peace, the series is closed rather than the beating-a-dead-horse of today.

This theme triggers me and I'm not sure why

AW2:O thread when?

>>380750054
Dual Strike was over the top, power creeped nonsense that was proof the series needed a reboot. Days of Ruin did nothing wrong and just got caught up in all the other mid 2000s Nintendo games that died but could easily be brought back to raging success.

That said I don't want anything like FE Heroes pissing on the corpse of this franchise.
