The game fire emblem

Who here has played fire emblem, heard of it or enjoys it?

I myself am a big fan of the series. The wii version is so hard compared to the other ones, the units you start out with are just plain sub par compared to your enemies. It's kinda sad when your level 4 main hero gets one hit by a normal attack by a level 3 bandit

@Sirenheart: Even normal is so much harder than the GBA version ;c

out of the three i've played i think i enjoy PoR the most, Sacred Stones in second even though the FE with Lyn/Eliwood is overall better and more difficult. having an area to just grind is what really appealed to me...though yes it does kill difficulty! :x

never picked up the later Wii game since i heard it was very unbalanced, though hearing something about Sothe playing a big part really appealed to me. spent a ton of time leveling him to 20 with a bunch of maxed stats (blossom!).

[quote=Sirenheart]i love the fire emblem series.
i've played all of the games (english games that i can understand...)
the first one i played, the original with Lyn and stuff, was the best.
but i think my favorite one will be Sacred Stones. i got really attached to some of the characters. my favorite character was Selena Fluorspar, that mage knight, that we, unfortunately, had to kill to get passed the level. it was so hard for me because i knew her story and i liked her a lot. she did not deserve to die
and i hated the ending of the original game. with Nils the dragon and stuff. it was really sad for me.
Sacared Stones is my favorite because of the amount of new classes you can change to. unlike the other versions. i really like class-changing.

i want more fire emblem games to come out ;(
they remind me of Shining Force, which i used to play a long time ago.[/quote]

Have you tried the game cube's/ the wii's?

[quote=clouts29]I love Fire Emblem! I personally think Path Of Radiance for the Game Cube is the best one.
I've played FE 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, and the DS re-make with Marth in it.

Fire Emblem Radiant Dawn is pretty tough at the start of the game. Here are some tips for the beginning of the game to get you going effectively:

Use Nolan to tank enemies and weaken them (he gains experience for this, but not much more for finishing off the enemies at the start of the game, so they are better put towards leveling up Micaiah and Edward).
Use Leonardo to attack enemies and weaken them but DO NOT give him the finishing blow.
Use Edward and Micaiah to finish off enemies and give them as much EXP as possible.

Use your higher defense characters to seal off gaps and block the path that will lead to your weaker characters.
Watch the range of your enemies' attacks carefully and be careful to not place one of your troops within too many enemies' range. This is extremely important if you not want to reply some of the tough levels 20 times.

If it takes 2 battles worth to kill an enemy (2-3 hits), you use the same range of attacks, and you do not need to kill him ASAP, [i]let him come to you[/i]. Attacking an enemy and receiving a hit and then taking another hit before they die on the enemies' turn is very inefficient and will waste turns healing when you could be making waste of your enemies and reducing further damage (not only that, but finishing a stage quickly yields more bonus EXP!). Instead, let your enemy attack you and take damage, and then finish him off with 1 hit the next turn and not get hit by a counter attack.

I could go on and on, but there is too much.
I thought my Wii was broken until today, when I sort of fixed it, so I can play Radiant Dawn again. >[/quote]

Woooo i got passed a few missions

didn't really like Sacred Stones. felt like EZ mode to me.

I'm quite fond of FE7 though.
FE6 is second, especially since I hated how you only got to use promoted Roy for like, 2-3 battles.

I've only got Radiant Dawn (the one on the Wii)
I think it's really good, but thats probably because it's the only FE I've ever played

[quote=envoyxp]You can manipulate RNG and I didn't like Forde, Kyle, or Franz as a character so I didn't use them not because their stats were bad.[/quote]

Well, i know that. I guess i just prefer the randomness in someways.

@Itachifire they are also limited by RNG, cursed cursed RNG.
@above the red/green cavaliers had pretty awesome gains for me, at like level 10 they beat seth promoted at level 1.

Fire Emblem characters are really only limited by stat caps and 0% growths. I don't remember seth's caps but it wasn't that bad. Of course, it would take a while to get a perfect seth though.

I know, characters have a certain chance to get certain stats, and his aren't as good as the other cavaliers

I love fire emblem! It was my first RPG, and my nostalgia of it surpasses pokemon; I was borderline obsessive over it. I cherished all of them so greatly, and loved sacred stones because I could evol e units really quickly (tower of valni).

[quote=Soulsvoid]@chromzome u mean micaha (or sumethin)? yeah she sucks use the stronger character (such as nolan, who is very good in endgame) to do most damage, and let micaha finish the enemy off. she gets better later in the game. And aran (the halberdier u'll meet later on if u havent gotten there yet) is also pretty good if you level him up.[/quote]
That's what i was doing but the stupid bandit would always get me at the last second

[quote=Alextehgreat]I like the Fire Emblem games.

Sacred stones was way too easy, but it was fun. The only ''challenging'' part was the last floor of the Lagdou Ruins with all the dragons, but even then if you have all the Bishops available, it's pretty easy. Since they don't move if you're not in their range, you can focus on the top ones in the first turn and kill them all. and for the others, just kill them with Purge.[/quote]

I made the game super hard by using all non-promoted level 20 users or low leveled promoted units in the final chapter. It was intense.
@above HELL yes i just wish you could promote chad, he'd make the most beast assassin
