I was thinking about downloading Seisen no Keihu or get Awakening. I like that the main character have kids, feel like a cool concept.

Get Fire Emblem 4 if you don't want time travel bullshit along with your kids. Better animation too

Probably PoR. It has some of the best story, characters, music, and core gameplay, but it's difficulty is lacking compared to games like RD, NM, or Conquest.

>Tellius will never be a trilogy
I mean it ended on a good note but still
>>
>>383386183
PoR is easy because BEXP and the knights ward allows you to let your mounted units, Marica, and Jill break the game in half. It's by no means a balanced FE game.

The most balanced FE game is likely Conquest since every unit, other than Mozu, is viable.
>>
>>383385328
PoR for me. The system was solid, as were a lot of the units and the story.
I also enjoyed RD a ton for nearly the same reasons, though I can admit the Dawn Brigade kind of slows the pace of the game.
>>
>>383386253
>Magvel will continue to get nothing
you guys don't have it nearly as bad
>>
>>383386253
What would they do for a trilogy, since it mostly ended peacefully after RD.
They could do a prequel with Gawain, or a mega-prequel with the four heroes, but the story is already sort of known there
>>
>>383386253
I want a Tellius prequel. A game about Greil and him starting the Mercenaries. End it where PoR begins.
>>
>>383386183
Its difficulty is lacking because it was piss-easy. The designers jammed BEXP in there without accounting for it, and it's retardedly easy to make juggernauts. Enemy quality is trash. Boyd/Ike/Marcia and half a dozen other units can solo entire platoons. Ike can solo the entire game
>>
>>383386452
Nyx is shit, and it's generally debated whether Some say Shura's boots are better than him, and Arthur trails of after mid-game.

I'm tempted to say 8 or 9 are the best balanced but dunno if that's because they're not as difficult.
>>
>>383386778
Nyx is great if you use DLC reclassing

Shura is a lategame prepromote, no shit he's going to be lackluster. But he's actually decent for a prepromote and has staff utility, making him far more than the likes of Nomah or Tauroneo

CQ has a very balanced cast and the majority of units are usable. It's just that the high difficulty of it makes even slight advantages between characters overwhelming
>>
>>383385959
Pretty spot on.
>>
I must be the only one in the world who likes Shadow Dragon the most.
>>
>>383386778
Nyx is good for pair-up bonuses and can nostank early on with a good def pair-up (though not as well as Odin). She's also required for a few LTC strats and can be very useful if you promote her early on.

Shura is a good unit (he demolishes the ninja cave at base). The reason people say boots are better than him is because if you don't plan on using him, then the boots are more useful.

Arthur still has his pair-up bonuses and berserker crit strats. He's still useful.
>>
>>383388136
I couldn't get into Shadow Dragon much. The design choice of making you kill your units to see everything was baffling.

if there is one thing you can like about the children stuff even if you don't like them is that gaiden chapters don't have ridiculous requirements anymore

What are you in the game for?
Awakening is better for story, post-game, shipping and kids. I think I do prefer Awakening's cast to BR's minus Orochi, and Oboro.
BR is harder, has more engaginge maps, and a hard mode that doesn't have same turn reinforcements (as far as I can remember).

awakening's story is fine. In fact, I'd even call it good for FE. It follows the "bad kingdom invades good kingdom, also dragons" plot, but the time-traveling stuff is actually done well.

If you don't plan on using him then boots are certainly the better, but if you use him he can serve as a great debuff unit against enemies when equipped with setsuna's weapon

He gets rally str and is a great back up unit

After clearing the chapter before the gaiden one, you have the option of going to the Gaiden chapter. I believe they did this in some of the GBA games.

Not him but I'm pretty sure FE6 doesn't give you a choice, it either takes you there or doesn't depending on if you met the requirements to go.
>>
>>383385959
I prefer genealogy's OST in spite of its SNES soundchip quality. RD is a great choice, though.
>>
>>383391227
No they didn't. They just made FE6's gaiden objectives relatively easy and harmless to fuck up.
Well, except for "Keep Lilina alive". What kind of moron would let her die when she could solo the entire game after a bit of raising up...
>>
>>383391331
Ah, that's right. It forces you right into the Gaiden chapter if you did the requirements, my bad. So yeah, the choice only happens in 7

oh please, you act like the choice is meaningful in any way

God, I fucking hope so. I would KILL to hear Doors of Destiny remastered.
But the reality is that we probably won't get a Jugdral remake simply because of how integral things like incest are to the plot. You can't rewrite that without obliterating the story entirely, although they could just remove the more sidelined instances, like Eldigan and Lachesis.

Like are you seriously going to run a new game because of how you want to make the villagers this time? Or because you want to recruit Sonya instead of Deen this time?

you have to kill her in 2 turns

her turn 1 attack is AOE you shouldn't die to

her 2nd turn attack is a snipe that can 1RKO shitty units like Gareth, so you have to kill her before then. It's not particularly hard using the pools and good units

I'm not in the market to defend the prologue chapters, although it can be an interesting challenge on higher difficulties. I entirely disagree with you on the Gaiden chapters. There are plenty of Gaiden chapters with nothing I think you could rightly consider gimmicky, such as the ones with Wrys or those two Mercs from those BS Fire Emblem chapters (I think that is where they're from, at least.)

Even for those chapters which I could agree with you calling gimmicky, they are so short that I don't think the gimmick outstays it's welcome and can help provide an interesting challenge.

The quality of life changes you're questioning includes things like showing enemy range, battle calculations requiring less work on the players end and so on.

It's my favorite but it definitely needs changes. Make it so footed units get way more of a movement buff on paths so they can catch up with horse units, allow warping between controlled castles, and maybe add some indoors stages that force mounted units off their mounts, like FE3 or 5.

Still, even if it was remade exactly the same just like Echoes, I would buy it just for the redone music.

Also Arvis better be in Warriors, they need a villain character in the roster. The villain is going to be Walhart or Garon isn't it, why am I getting my hopes up?

The story isn't as bad as Conquests, but the things that will get shown will make both Conquest's and Birthright's stories seem even more retarded.

Also it's a horridly balanced, gimmicky mess.

If you want to get spoiled: There was an invisible secret world this whole time that Azura knew about the whole time, and it is ruled by a invisible secret dragon that's secretly been controlling Garon and making Nohr and Hoshido fight for no reason. But you can't talk about the invisible world or you die,
even though there's so many ways around that, and even when in Conquest Azura brings Corrin to Valla, the invisible land, Azura acts like it's no big deal. So everything that happened and everyone that died in Conquest and Birthright was because of Azura purposefully not telling anyone about Valla.


Azura is the true fucking villain of the game.

>>383398005
No. Instead, put Rally Luck on one of the early classes, like an early Troubadour or something, giving you a tool to reduce or outright negate critical hits from happening to you as long as you think carefully. Hitrates are almost never a problem as long as you pay attention to who's going up against who and weapon triangle advantages.

My favorite is Radiant Dawn because it was the first one I played and set the standard for what I expected in subsequent games.
I liked Echoes (really clean, nice package overall as a game) and PoR (great setting and unit balance except a few big hitters) but strongly disliked Fates (there was zero motivation for me to play aside from a challenge, if I ran into a roadblock I didn't feel like I needed to push through, I just put the game down) and kind of forgot about Awakening (except for a few select moments, but it wasn't terribly memorable).

You're not meant to use every character, that's why there's a deployment limit you retard.

It means don't carelessly sacrifice people. If it really bothers you then play one of the games with Casual mode.

With the possible exception of Path of Radiance, that means they won't die and simply retreat.

>there isn't enough xp to level up each character
Because there's 30+ characters. That's like complaining that you can't viably raise every single Pokemon you catch during the main game.

Alternatively, just use the arenas to grind EXP if you need it that badly.

I'm 99% sure crits are rolled before hits are, and crits always hit. You would be better off using a high defense unit or a unit with high luck.

actual movement in battle cutscenes ala Tellius just takes too fucking long. Those extra 1-2 seconds moving adds up to a ton of wasted time

From what I've played:

I need to get around to playing most of the pre Awakening games. Does New Mystery clean up a lot of the problems Shadow Dragon had?

I wouldn't made more remakes in the vein of Echoes; fuck the maps in Gaiden though. I'm currently on the Act 4 Celica map with the chucklefuck casting that earthquake move every few turns.

It's a tie between Radiant Dawn and Path of Radiance

Path of Radiance is the only Fire Emblem game that had a story that actually intrigued me, other than maybe Shadows of Valentia. Main problem is that it suffers from a pretty serious lack of difficulty.
Radiant Dawn on the other hand has a great challenge. It's not the most balanced by any means, but the map design is great.
I'd probably really like Genealogy of the Holy War if I had the patience to play it.
>>
>>383404615

Some of the criticals in Genealogy are actually really cool. Myrms get pretty cool animations. Units like Seliph and Leaf before promotion do some cool moves like jumping high into the air and crashing down on the enemy or doing a backflip and rushing the enemy.

Most of the chapters in HHM you only need to bring Hector, so I benched Eli/Lyn since I didn't feel like using them

I'm just a no-name guy who likes Fire Emblem.
I'm at ch14. I've planned out all my deployments and have tactics for most chapters, just need to figure out how to optimize chapters 14 and 20 (I need to level Tina FE1-style).
>>
>>383409781
Okay, maybe not good, but definitely not "worst written vomit inducing cringefest in the history of vidya" that /v/ likes to call it.
>>
>>383410403
Why FE1 style, it's 0% growths but I thought they still get exp so you can promote and get the stat boost
>>
>>383411130
In FE1 clerics gain a lot of exp from taking/dodging hits. In FE5 each class gains exp for any combat encounter and clerics in particular gain a significant amount each time. I'm using that mechanic to its utmost because without elite mode there isn't enough time to get Tina to promotion by chapter 22 and I absolutely need her to be promoted so can steal the boss' weapons after a magic boost. I should be able to complete chapter 22 in 3 turns (more if staves miss) if I can steal berserk to use on Reinhardt and steal the master lance so I can capture the boss.
So in chapter 14 I'm having her dodge javelins and in chapter 20 I think I need to get two mages to attack her each turn but to prevent them from capturing her I need to place units appropriately. And in order to get optimal deployment orders later on I can't field Lara in chapter 20, which makes it a lot more annoying.
>>
>>383411130
Promoting her as fast as possible is very much needed as her skill makes stave uses with her scary.
And she is the only person who can use 2 very useful staves.

She can sit around at the staring position without entering combat if you are a quck player, and if you are slow you can just have her be rescued by Oswin(who you probably parked there as a Merlinus guard)
>Kinship's Bond
She can just walk over to Rath, recruit him, then hide in the corner he came from.

You can just have Pent slay most Wyverns headed her way.

Lyn can once again easily be kept safe, the only threat is one specific Bolting Sage who you can essily dispatch.

Point is, Lyn is only forced very rarely, and she's very easy to keep out of Danger when she is, and since she's a terrible unit, you don't really need to train her either.


>>383405562
Even if she leveled str every level, she'd still be bad because she is a close combat unit with no durability whatsoever. But in reality, she doesn't gain strength consistently, and her Level 20 unpromoted stats are worse than Isadora's and HM Legault's bases. Also, until about level 13-15, she also trails Base HM Guy in all stats.

This is why swords and bows suck in 6-13. Hand Axes and javelins made bows obsolete in most ways, while swords had no distance weapon, except magical and legendary ones, with the exception of 10.

Honestly, FE7 would be much better if it was just Lyn and Hector. Eliwood sucked shit, especially since he was only put in the game so Japanese fans could jerk off to "look, it's the guy before Roy! His dad! Look!"

This is also the reason FE8 didn't do so hot over there and stuff like branching promotions and a map system was canned until Awakening, to the series' detriment. Japanese players didn't like Sacred Stones because it wasn't about how big Roy's cock is.

if you don't know how to position lyn so that her speed makes her dodgetank everything then you're using her wrong. she easily hits level 20 in her own story so you can just sit her back for most of the second act until promotion becomes available.

sitting her on a forest equipped with a bow (once promoted obviously) makes all of those lances FE7 likes spamming a hell of a lot less intimidating

Well he is.
Low movement
Can't double Brigands in the Brigand heavy early game.
Late promotion.
Low resistance.

Eliwood is shit but gets a horse and can do rescue Shenanigans. His combat is also arguably better than Lyn's because he has significantly better defenses. Also, Javelins after promotion is better than anything Lyn gets in terms of combat. Lyn is just shit all the way through with nothing really redeemable about her.

>>383421561
He is mediocre at best in his own mode and only slightly better than mediocre in Eliwood's mode. He has serious issues doubling and his mobility is shit, and he also faces serious Siege tome issues in his own mode because his Res is bad without his promotion gains.

He's a good early/mid-game axe user that drops off and gets outclassed by mounted units.

sword-locked is a huge disadvantage in FE7. She's pretty much worse than Guy in every way, and you don't need 2 swordlocked foot units

Hector is great. He's your best non-Jeigan unit the moment you get him, all the way up to lv20. He falls off after that since he gets a late promotion, but once he promotes, he turns again into a murder monster.

You don't have to kill her in two turns. Just move squishier units away and put them on the correct defensive tile. That's the problem with Ashera, she's fucking rediculous going in blind.

>if you don't know how to position lyn so that her speed makes her dodgetank everything then you're using her wrong.
Eliwood beats her in Avoid the moment he gets a C support with Hector if you skipped Lyn's Mode. with an A support, he has better avoid than her for almost any single level. He also hits harder, can 1-2 range after promotion, gets to abuse the weapon traingle in his favor, and has a mobility advantage and can rescuechain. He's still shit.

>she easily hits level 20 in her own story so you can just sit her back for most of the second act until promotion becomes available.

Lyn is lucky to even get to 10 in her own mode.
>>
>>383422293
Because if you do get hit, she is likely to take massive amounts of damage.
You will not survive 2 hits.
Plus if you skip Lyn mode, since it is so boring, you are left with a level 4 unit who is almost OHKO'd by the archers in the next chapters and 4HKO's them in return.

All I said was if your units are at their averages they are more than capable of taking on the enemies in the chapters laid out in the game.

okay, should have specified lyn's hard mode where you can abuse combat and experience because it lifts the tutorial restrictions. you can carry this experience over to a normal or hard mode for hector or eliwood, and seeing how this gives a massive boost to your other units too i don't understand why people don't.

RNG is what bad players blame. Nothing about CQ makes it any more reliant on RNG than previous games in the series. If you found CQ hard, maybe it's not because of RNG but, surprise surprise, it's because it's actually designed to be hard.

>>383422663
She's sword-locked for most of the game, and after promotion it doesn't get any better.The only thing worse than sword-lock is bow-lock. Archers are the worst in FE7 than they've ever been, and there's been a lot of shit archers. Cramming two shitty weapons together does not a good unit make

>>383422759
FE7 enemies are an utter joke. This is a game where they throw tons of unpromoted enemies at you in the PENULTIMATE chapter. Hector may have trouble doubling some promoted enemies, but he doubles 80% of the map with no trouble. Fucking OSWIN can double in this game

Oswin does the same thing he does, but better, all Hector has on him is 1 move(and occasionally Wolf Beil), which admittedly is a drawback. Also, Raven is head and shoulders above him, and your cavaliers are also superior to him despite lower stats.

>He falls off after that since he gets a late promotion, but once he promotes, he turns again into a murder monster.
Hector after promotion can't even double Steel Lance Wyverns on average, the slowest common enemy type, and he promotes in the very endgame- later than even Roy.

>>383422327
>ahahaha
>are we even playing the same game
Again, hector can't reliably double the slowest lategame enemy in the game when not promoted.

Hector stops being actively used much at all somewhere in the midgame and spends his time riding another units horse so he can get his slow, 5 move ass over to Seize, much like Roy in FE6.

>>383423191
it depends on the game dumbass

Heroes shit over swordmasters in the GBA games. Gerik and Raven are among the best units in FE7/8

warriors have a history of sucking, but they're sure as fuck better than the abortions known as Archers in the GBA games. In PoR, Boyd is actually an amazing unit and shits all over Rolf/Shinon

treating classes as absolutes in the series without regard for game reeks of newfagging

>>383423358
80% of the enemies in FE7 are jokes. Like I said before, unpromoted enemies in endgame maps. Hector's SPD may not be amazing, but he has shitloads of CON going up against shitty unpromoted units who are weighed down by their weapons

Genesis isn't a fair comparison at all because it's probably the most difficult chapter in HHM

Eins is zombie Reidrick unless I've mixed them up.

The trickiest one is Elf (zombie Sara) but I can put her to sleep on turn 2 if I have regular sara use a holy water and I can put Zwei (zombie Galzus) to sleep on turn 1.

I'm not training Mareeta this playthrough. She's a decent unit with growths (though somewhat overrated, she eventually gets overkill offense but her durability is always poor). I considered promoting her to help kill dark mages in the final chapter but her base strength is only 3.

lv20 Hector (unpromoted) has 11.65 SPD, which is sufficient to double all of the listed. Too lazy to list all but he doubles most of the units on there. And this is him UNPROMOTED

Rutger has shit luck, as does Joshua, Big Dieck is better because he can take an extra hit from the swarms of wyverns in chapter 7.
Gerik and Raven have absolutely no problems in either of their games, whereas Guy and Marisa have str problems, even with HM bonuses, and Joshua has the same luck problem as Rutger meaning he can't dodgetank reliably.
And the only possible reason to pick Karel over Harken is personal preference

Hero is better than a Swordmaster because they get access to Axes, which means they can use Hand Axes for a much better enemy phase. They difference in maximum stats is worthless since no game outside of FE10 requires you to even get close to maxing stats.
Warrior is better than Sniper because they have access to 1-range weapons, which means they can actually have an enemy phase.

Rath is better than any sniper in FE7.

>>383423957
>Fucking play these games for once.
>Rutger is so much better than Raven, Gerik or any other Hero in the GBA games.
Rutger is fantastic because he is a niche unit but a very good one- and his niche is reliable boss killing in a game that lacks that until Percival arrives. He's good because FE6 has a big lack of solid units combined with tougher bosses and throne bonuses, so Rutger saves you a lot of turns.

If Rutger didn't have his bosskiller niche that no one else fills, he'd be way, way worse than he is now and below Deke in his own game due to Deke's higher level, earlier promotion(as Rutger only gets the first Crest for bosskilling purposes) and durability.

So yeah, Rutger>Raven, because he fills a niche, while Raven is just a stupidly powerful unit and is easily the single best non-mounted unit in his game.
>>
>>383424652
I like SF more than FE but it's not really the same thing.
Units don't counter mid battle scene, turn order isn't based on player-enemy-other phases, etc.

He may not be that great later on, but his contributions early on great enough to make him good overall.

It makes the hits look "more correct" because you'd expect an 85% hit chance to hit quite a lot, even though really it's still got almost a 1/5 chance of missing. Conversely, you'd expect 33% hit rate to be a miss despite it actually still being a pretty significant 1 in 3 chance of hitting.

That's not exactly true.

I didn't know this beforehand but Fates uses a more complex RNG system

so it's between 1-RN and 2-RN system.

Of note, the 1-RN system for <50 does explain why dodgetanking sucks so much in Fates. Neat.

>>383427648
It's easy to get a good rank if you don't care about recruiting everyone. My favourite tactics for SS-rank ironman runs (with growths) is to skip several chapters and to feed Homer an absurd amount of exp in chapter 14. If you disable the right balistae, set up a formation near the throne, and let him kill the dark mages at the end you can have him cap most of his stats by the start of the next chapter.
Also, one notable trick for saving time is to get Tanya killed before the end of chapter 3. Dagda will join immediately after chapter 8 without playing 8x because Dagda can solo the entire chapter if Tanya's not holding him back.

>game actually being discussed
>it's less than 100 people even close to 500 posts

Nice "dedicated fandom" you got there, classic FE.
>>
>>383428597
No, but critical chance is indirectly affected by having to hit first before it rolls the crit
>>
>>383429001
that's literally the definition of dedicated fandom

a small group of people discussing their game to death

what the fuck you might actually be retarded

and the quality of this thread was so high, too
>>
I recently got a copy of PoR at a local game store, however, I have no Gamecube (or Wii) to play it on. I've emulated PoR before though. But here's the thing, my dad had a co-worker over for dinner on Wednesday I believe, and turns out, this guy has a spare Wii he never uses anymore that he's willing to give me for $20. Should I go for it? I'll have to buy Gamecube controllers and a memory card, but should I do this? I've always wanted to play PoR on the actual hardware.
>>
>>383429962
Yes
Having a real physical copy of PoR is very rare and you have a reasonable means of getting a way of playing it.
>>
>>383429962
no just emulate it

displays better graphically, runs better, gives you access to savestates, plus you can emulate RD afterwards without spending another penny

physical hardware is overrated as shit.
>>
>>383429962
Might as well if the Wii is only $20. The issue is the memory cards.
>>
>>383385328

Ya posted it buddy.

Unless you mean story wise because the only other game with a story worse is fates and its hard not to be better than fates story.
>>
>>383430880
I liked RD's story. Had some silly stuff but it wasn't too bad.
>>
>>383429962
Softmod your wii, it's easy

>>383428642
Yeah you save more turns than you lose, you don't need to be as strict with your resources, and your run isn't ruined if a random dude happens to die.
You don't wait for dalsin either way, you can rescue him in chapter 21x.
>>
>>383430880
>shitting on RD story

I'll fight you m8
>>
This was a good FE thread
Why can't more of them be like this
>>
>>383431602
You mean his wii. It's not mine, yet.
>>
>>383433290
Right. Softmod it when it's yours. If you prefer playing on console you can play FE1-10 on it.

Nobody said it's not a fault. It's addressing that fault that matters. If it's easily possible to turn a single unit into superman then the game's balance is fucked.
>>
>>383434825
All downhill from there.

>Yeah I liked PoR's way were it wasn't based on items, I have no idea why they brought it back for JP RD
PoR had Master Seals. It's just that there were only 3 of them.

>game announced
>"wow i can't wait to see some older FE characters in 3d"
>"i mean it'll probably mostly be the new games being represented but still"
and that's when I realized Echoes was an outlier

>>383434825
I legit quit Thracia at this point. I made dumb mistakes earlier robbing me of good characters/resources, I choose my units for the map and when I finally got to Gomes I had no-one who could damage him. I've been meaning to restart.
>>
>>383434148
I do prefer playing on consoles truth be told, but I'll emulate when I need to. As for FE6-8, I actually have those physically, and FE8 is complete.
>>
>>383435869
Echoes was pretty much made as a "we remember you" passion project for IS's gaiden fans, not as the kind of game that the other 3DS games were, for better or worse.

I enjoyed it.
>>
>>383435869
No Asvel, fergus/shiva + fire sword, leaf+light sword, nanna+earth sword, or othin? I can't say I blame you for restarting at that point.
>>
Hey anons should I bother with the Thabes Labyrinth in Echoes? I want to give Blinding Blade a go soon.
>>
>>383437548
Sure
It has a nice surprise at the end that explains the entire reason behind Awakening ever happening.
>>
>>383437548
both of them are pretty shit, take your pick

Thabes isn't exactly fun. Like everything else in Echoes, it's the same maps and enemies repeated over and over again, except without same points. Only notable thing about it is that it's a massive difficulty spike. It's doable without grind but requires intricate and abusive knowledge of game mechanics
>>
>>383437548
Thabes is pretty good, I'd recommend playing it at least once.
>>
>>383437840
>>383438120
>>383438258
Well I might as well get it done, I will feel the game is properly complete. Cheers anons, the mask villagers and dragons will be a bit of a pain.
>>
>>383438694
Good luck anon.

I've been going through the last bit of FEs I want to play recently, finished Thracia a few weeks ago and it's probably my favourite FE now. Moved onto Mystery of the Emblem after that, thought book 1 was kinda shit (really had next to no fun with it at all) but book 2 was a lot of fun.

I'm playing Revelation right now and honestly while it's got flaws and stupid shit out the wazoo (absolutely wack character balance, some tedious main maps though I actually haven't hated them as much as I've seen other people hate on them, doofy plot that drops a major plot point right at the beginning and then spends the following ~12 chapters actively trying to not talk about it), I'm actually enjoying it more than I expected as I'm just messing around with pairings and stuff since I mostly skipped doing any eugenics during my playthroughs of Birthright and Conquest. The child maps are alright and I like the units themselves (the implementation / explanation for them is retarded, but they're okay / fun as characters).
>>
Thanks anon.
>>
>>383439475
Rev is fun as a sandboxy sort of game. You get a ridiculous amount of characters/supports/equipment, so it's fun to mess around. It's the only FE game where I had no reservations about grinding
>>
>>383385675
Flawed, but fun as fuck.

God tier soundtrack too.

What FE has the best OST
>>
>>383439475
The finale of it is good.
It's just hard getting there because of how slow and boring some of the maps are. Moving terrain and elevator/gondolas are a huge slowdown.
