This game is so enthralling and beautiful; although it's hard to get into, it's story, scope, scenery, characters and soundtrack are so perfect it's honestly incredible, it portrays war like no other FE game
small things like other nobles thinking about themselves and not the country makes the war feel more real, and not feel like a constant shitty skirmish (Awakening)
what do the rest of you think of it?
Sometimes I feel like modern rpgs are just an excuse to make bishi boy dating sims.
not that it's a bad thing
I never beat the second half, I should get around to replaying it
>gaykneelgy of the boring snore
i cant even get past the spirit forest on chapter 1 before i turn off the game.
Lmao good luck with Agustria then
Gotta admit sometimes it's hard to play
Have you ever tried pairing Jamke with Fury, or Tilytu before? Worried about how Arthur or Sety will turn out but he's the only guy I like left in this run
Agustria can be a slog
But the music thoooo
try playing with a guide
The story is fricking terrible and the characters are cardboards.
>Horse emblem
Meme aside. I like FE4. To be honest it is kind of difficult to really get into it but I thought it was worth it in the end. I get what Kaga was trying to do with actual showing the war in FE4 as well, an actual war.
Very impressive for a SNES era SRPG. I appreciate the game's ambition to focus on immersion and gameplay-story cohesion, even if it's sometimes at the expense of "good game design". This is the kind of "unsafe" game that you very rarely see these days
I belive you summed it up perfectly
>it portrays war like no other FE game
not really, both Conquest and Three Houses are much more intelligent about war
Ignore this troll, everyone.
take your meds
>Conquest
PFFFFFF HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
>"n-no, you see, I didn't actually kill anyone. I simply knocked them all out"
It's the best FE by far and it's a shame the series veered away from it.
some of the decisions seem silly like not being able to transfer weapons around, the balance is off the rails and you can solo maps with certain builds, the non-mounted units don't have enough movement and you have to wait for them
but it's one of my favorite games of all time. i love the large maps, the massive armies, being able to actually deploy all your dudes and not have most of them sitting on their asses like the other FEs, the eugenics system is really cool, the music is great, the animation is still the best in the series, and you have to use your head a lot even with broken characters (recruiting Ayla without killing her/getting someone killed, getting Eddin to talk to Jamka without getting anybody killed, dealing with Eltoshan, Leptor, long range mages, etc). FE3 was my first FE game back in the day and this was such a massive upgrade all around.
>some of the decisions seem silly like not being able to transfer weapons around, the balance is off the rails and you can solo maps with certain builds, the non-mounted units don't have enough movement and you have to wait for them
You're a moron.
> why reddit/twitter Black folk are so much into this game when It's full of things that make shit themselves.
For some reason cucktholics really like this game, probably because the church and the gods aren't the villains for just this one game.
Cucktholics are really insecure about FE making them the villains, I don't know why they keep playing this series, they don't get they are not welcome here.
>cucktholics
I was talking about the reddit/twitter subhumans though
I know exactly who you are refering to, the reddit/twitter subhumans and Black folk are actually christian fundamentalists that for some reason keep coming back to the Switch only to play JRPGs that expose cucktholicism for the evil cult that it is. This is why they are always so insecure, such as
Also this. GotHW is one of the few untranslated ones so the autists use it as an identity anchor. Make no mistake, GotHW is a flawed masterpiece but they cannot comprehend why and they do more harm than good by latching onto it and tainting it with their degeneracy.
>the reddit/twitter subhumans and Black folk are actually christian fundamentalists
Wait, they are? I thought they were all prude atheist?
>the reddit/twitter subhumans and Black folk are actually christian fundamentalists
I know the FE fanbase is filled with autismos but this is possibly the most moronic thing I've ever heard
It's been translated for over 20 years, frickface. It's not some big secret.
>church and god's aren't the villains for just this one game
church and gods (at least in the conventional christian sense) are at most neutral in most FE games. Sure you have the occasional corrupt bishop but as far as JRPGs go the only FEs with "church bad" is RD and 3H.
>church and gods
They are the villains starting from Marth's game and Alm's and so on. FE4 is the odd one out that they are in the backstage.
true, almost every game involves a God or godlike creature as an antagonist
Cucktholics confuse the dragon gods in FE because when they think of gods they imagine their skydaddy. Japan portrays all gods as fallible and semi-mortal such as the divine or evil manaketes in FE.
yeh but most of those are usually some sort of devil or dark god type instead of a conventional god christ gays would worship
yeh most the time it's evil cults and shit which are not really the same thing as a traditional church
The church in RD are the final villains.
The church of seiros in TH is modelled after the catholic church and the adrestian empire after the orthodox byzantine empire post schism, and also has some protestant angles. It's 100% anti cucktholicism
>The church of seiros in TH is modelled after the catholic church and the adrestian empire after the orthodox byzantine empire post schism, and also has some protestant angles. It's 100% anti cucktholicism
Only one route in 3 Houses is anti-church though. Granted, this caused backlash when 3 Hopes came out and had 2/3 anti-church routes.
Silver Snow is anti-church, they have to reform Rhea's corrupt cult. She and the church cardinals are literally the final boss
3H is always anti-church, even the pro-church routes like AM and SS have you admit the church is fricked and replace all of the leadership to reform the church from the ground up. That entire game is just "morons with good intentions make stupid fricking choices because of Trauma and misconceptions" and the church is no exception. Fodlan needs to be reset.
Ummm, ackshually Rhea did heckin nothing wrong because i want to frick her
Yes.jpg
Its the opposite actually, in AM you find out that a lot of the shit that you were told in CF is just fake news, it was taken out of context. For SS you find out about a secret cabal that exists doesn't actually do anything.
The games usually end with the heroes ridding the world of all gods, no matter good or bad. Eg both Mila and Naga who are technically not evil, still allow humanity to live without them.
>They are the villains starting from Marth's game and Alm's and so on. FE4 is the odd one out that they are in the backstage.
The only god figure in Marth's game is benign though, Naga. Medeus in spite of his name is never treated as a god.
Now, you have a point about Valencia, with an evil active god and a useless passive goddess. Although outright condemning Celica for her faith was an addition in Echoes. Originally she offers herself as a sacrifice to take Alm out of an impossible battle where Draco Zombies keep respawning while he's locked in the map. Then the remake changed it to her offering herself as a sacrifice because she was insecure and heard promises about helping Mila.
The only difference is Naga voluntarily leaves humanity free, Medeus has to be forced to do so. Both are gods, they can always come back when killed.
>“GWAH...! WHY......? WHY... HAVE I... BEEN DEFEATED... SO EASILY...? IS THIS... THE POWER... ...OF NAGA'S... Binding Shield...? KNOW THIS, HUMANS... THIS LIGHT IS ONLY A BRIEF RESPITE... SO LONG AS EVIL LURKS WITHIN THE HEARTS OF MAN... SHOULD THIS ACCURSED SHIELD BE LOST, WE SHALL RISE FROM THE DEPTHS OF HELL... DO NOT... EVER FORGET...”
>—Medeus's death quote
Duma and Mila are the same, even after their physical manakete forms are slain, they still speak to Alm and Celica
Naga is actively regarded as a god though, while Medeus isn't. You even have all this saintly image for Naga in FE3 while Medeus gets no equivalent to that. Yeah, a super dragon with mystic powers can be considered a god, but in this case only Naga got that treatment.
>the only FEs with "church bad" is RD and 3H.
those are the only ones with a notable church faction in the first place lol
oh wait what am I saying there is the whole Loptyrian cult in FE4 and 5 which are the main villains.
>Cucktholics
seethe and dil8, paygay
How do I play Growlanser II and III without it crashing all the time on emulator?
>emulator
There's your issue
It's got a lot of gameplay faults but it is chock full of soul that nufe cant even begin to compare to. It's evident the entire time it was made by a team who wanted to make an ambitious, interesting game versus modern ISIS who makes games first and foremost to appeal to as many weebshits' fetishes as possible
it also has overall the best soundtrack in the series bar none
>it also has overall the best soundtrack in the series bar none
Uprising in Agustria never really did much for me until I hear this (Same with Roy's departure)
Overall I think 4 has better map themes but I prefer 7 or 9's OST overall
There's a channel called Dragston Dev that makes all kinds of remastered old FE themes, I think you'd like it
Scrolling through, he's got a shitton of videos thoughso I have about 30 tabs open in that window to get through
haha
yes he doesssss, it's honestly amazing
he has watch lists (or whatever they're called) of each game entry so it's easier to find songs
some of my fav remasters of his are Girl in the Spirit Forest and Versus Arvis
I haven't scrolled down to that one yet, I did really like vs Veld though, currently up to FE6 so the choir on battle for whose sake nice
Why

Ost comparison time
4>14>10=9>8>2=15>7>1=3=11=12>>16>5>6>power gap>13
Awakenings ost is unironically on par with elevator music
>Tellius this high
I swear I don't remember a single ost from both games aside from the Black Knight's theme
Tellius' ost benefits a lot from its orchestral sound and has mega bangers like with us and the Knights oath remaster. RD probably has less memorable melodies but utilizes its ost incredibly well, things like giving each group their own battle theme and then having it play when you fight them
>POR ost
>RD background noise
this is bait
3 and 5 a little low but otherwise I agree, always thought 6 had really forgettable music
>14 so high
>6 so low
>5 not a respectable mid to lower mid table
No
You're underrating 6's OST
https://www.youtube.com/watch?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vDNCs7tH8U4&ab_channel=HQOSTs
>only battle themes
I didn't want to post too much, please understand. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BKD2UOP59i8&ab_channel=HQOSTs
>uironically linking worse renditions of prior game's songs
lmao
6's ost is fine, some good tracks as other anon pointed out and some huge stinkers like the enemy battle theme, but FE has a reputation for great osts and 6 just doesn't compare imo
5 is may favorite FE game but its ost is honestly kind of weak, it's too muted. conversely 14's ost is the only good thing about the game. its a massive improvement coming off 13
You say that like it's a bad thing when tracks like this exist: https://youtu.be/l9y5GAWyL0Q
It having a losing theme when one of your guys die on EP is cool, as is how the map themes change over the game as your success looks more likely overall.
The recruitment theme and Eyvel's theme are also good as are the ending songs of Wind and Blowing in the wind and vs Veld
5's recruitment theme is sick but it's up against some absurdly strong contenders
I wasn't huge on the recruitment theme in 2, (the redux of it in Echoes is great though) but normally the recruitment theme is great, or at least it was until Awakening. Can't remember what Fates one is like
Every recruitment theme since awakening has been a wet fart, with the exception of echoes but that is a remake. Honestly recruitments as a whole have been really fricking lame since awakening too, almost every unit being handed to you for free, the ones that aren't being just "talk with lord", at least 3H had some students you had to fight even if you recruited them on the academy.
the bonus units had some odd ones, like Walhart being talk with Chrom, or Gangrel being talk 3 times. Whilst I don't really want Douglas, Stefan, or Xavier recruitments to come back it would be nice to see some that aren't just talk with lord. Harken in FE7 can be recruited with Eliwood, Hector (at least , on his mode), Marcus, Oswin, Isadora and I think Lowen. Likewise Wallace can be recruited by an of your characters from the prologue that went on to serve Caelin
Xavier was great, I love how it completely changes the way you approach the chapter and it works because you aren't too incentivised at getting him which is where they fricked up with Douglas.
Stefan's is just dumb, literally would still not have him if it weren't for the internet.
>xavier was great
im convinced kaga fans just have terminal brainworms that make them say the most contrarian opinions they can think of. Its worse than fromsocks at this point.
I don't get why nuFEtards think you need to recruit every character to beat the game. Just don't recruit him if it bothers you that much, are you ever even going to use him?
yes, clearly the problem is that people dont realize they can beat the game without recruiting every character and not the fact that completing one of the map objectives slows the pacing of the chapter to a slow crawl solving a cryptic puzzle. why dont nufetards just not play the game and skip all the map objectives bros?
It's an SRPG, a thinking man's game. Having to take your time isn't an issue. Having to think ahead shouldn't be an issue.
Oh no god forbid planning is needed and there are multiple ways to tackle a chapter
A great game, even if it does have some flaws. It arguably has the best soundtrack out of any Fire Emblem game, the best story in the whole series, and the love system is a really fun mechanic and can effect the gameplay in some really interesting ways (Horsetti is so broken it's insane). I genuinely believe that if this game had been localised back in the day, the game would've been as popular as Earthbound. Also Brigid is best girl.
I don't like it that much myself, but I can see why others love it.
Amazing and beautiful game but with also a lot of dark stuff in it. Makes me wonder why reddit/twitter Black folk are so much into this game when it's full of things that make shit themselves.
Also, Esu is best girl.
>Makes me wonder why reddit/twitter Black folk are so much into this game
I always just thought they liked the characters from the gacha
I really like things such as holy blood translating into gameplay through higher growth rates or the chapters actually forming the continent together
The chapters creating the entire continent is great and makes up for some of the maps being a slog. It's just a shame that most people who play it will already know the spoiler
When I first played it I knew about the spoiler but wow does it still hit like a punch in the gut anyway
I knew of one, I didn't know about the wyvern ambush so that one hit as hard if not harder than the main one. It being done in gameplay really helped tell it, I remember just stopping the game thinking I failed those two leaving it for the day, and still just running it over in my head when I was doing my paper round the next morning
That is one of the things I enjoyed most about the game.
Exploring Jugdral
The maps don't feel like carbon copies of each other, unlike modern FEs
misogynistic pedo game filled with incest, bad gameplay, terrible music and graphics and the story is bad also
Id rather play Awakening
Julia is cute! Play her game!
She's just there for Kaga's brainwash fetish
FE6 has the Elimne Church which is always on your side, gives you Saul and Dorothy early on, and Yodel comes later and gives you 2 holy weapons with him
Cute moron
Days without Loptyrian tricks: 0
The first half of the game is pretty good, story wise. The second is absurdly bad. Definitely one of the hardest swings I've ever seen.
the 2nd is significantly weaker but it does still have some really good points like how Travant was just doing it for his country, and wasn't entirely evil, or finding out what happened to the mothers from the first half, and avenging Tilytu
I tend to do Seliph/Lana, Lester/Lakche who end up becoming King and Queen of Verdane
I'm always torn between Lana/Seliph for the cute childhood crush and also the fact that Sigurd and Aideen gets to be family through the union of their children. Or Seliph/Larcei for a symbolic union of Grannvale and Isaach, powerful swordmaster couple and of course Sigurd and Ayra and Lex become family, which is nice. And also there's Lana/Faval for cousin incest and to strengthen the Ullr Holy Blood.
In the end, house Dozel always wins
>The game is about being cucked to death
>Ganker loves it
Typical of Ganker
Genealogy is proof of the "old good new bad" mindset because a lot of the shit people hate about new FE games are also present in Genealogy yet people jerk it off so much.
>But it did it better than those game
No it didn't.
Doesn't "old good new bad" usually come from nostalgia?
Nobody in the west has fond childhood memories of FE4 and absolutely has played at least one entry before it.
I was obsessed with FFT as a kid, I downloaded every SRPG ROM I could find, and that's how I ended up finding FE along with Langrisser, Shining Force, etc.
I actually wrote guides for the old FE games on GameFAQs but took them down because the mods on the message boards were homosexuals.
>because a lot of the shit people hate about new FE games are also present in Genealogy yet people jerk it off so much.
such as? i can tell you have only played 2-3 games in the series lol
no, it's just a bunch of homosexuals thinking they're "cool" for liking the obscure jap game that was never localized.
Learn how to emulate, zoomzoom
Nta, but you moronic millennials are the ones who can't even navigate folders. Go install some more toolbar viruses or something.
>But it did better than those game ?
>Timeskip was handled way better in FE4 than Three Houses
>Mariage and children were handled way better in FE4 than 3DS FE
So uh
yeah
Did this game have NTR? Planning on playing it soon.
play with guide
Yeah, it is so hot to watch your mc watch his wife getting impregnated by another man
Enemy phase theme is my jam.
yellow units
>small things like other nobles thinking about themselves and not the country makes the war feel more real
The Blue Lions route in Warriors Three Hopes did this way better to my surprise. You should give that game a shot as well.
i just started the game (gw), and im planning on doing azure moon next! I'll be sure to give it a shot
Oh unfortunate. The GD and BE routes are a bit of a shitshow when it comes to the writing.
>AM
>the route that skips all the relevant lore and handwaves missing plot points at the epilogue
Azure Gleam. Not Azure Moon you illiterate moron.
Absolutely based game, strong contender for my favourite Fire Emblem, literally being able to experiment with genetics and make your perfect army is a great touch.
Good presentation and kaga does a good job telling a story trough gameplay
But actually playing it feels like absolute trash
Can't wait for the remake for them to have an ending
>But actually playing it feels like absolute trash
The real painful part of the game is when the fighting is over and you have to move EACH unit, one by one, to the next castle. If only Kaga gave us a command that would allow you to select your whole army and destination point. Other than that is was still fun.
>Deirdre wants to stay with Sigurd even after the memory erasure
>Literally has to call in help to wrangle her away
>Shits pants in fear of his own son
>Sigurd is the one thats memed into being a cuck
Hmm
he has a cool battle theme
>That moment in the manga were Manfroy laughs at him for thinking Deirdre is a virgin
This is also an legit running joke in the 4koma manga. Deirdre would in the afterlife ignores Arvis for Sigurd and Julius.
Because there are idiots who actually realize that Arvis's feelings were one sided.
I love the music, story and characters.
I do enjoy the gameplay too but yes it is tiresome at times.
On an emulator with a speed up function it’s bearable though.
Boy I sure love big empty maps with nothing on them and doing nothing but dragging my units for 4 turns while the horses do everything.
>Why does my war game have one of the gruelling realities of war in it?
Fricking pathetic. Keep pace, soldier.
>i have never played the game past ch 2 and parrot what others say
I hope they don't remaster this game because then they'll give all the characters that annoying high pitched anime voice and it'll be harder to imagine the unique dialects I gave each country and character in my head when I voiced them out.
Road to Ruin and Requiem were both pretty sick romhacks - any recommendations for what to try next?
Iron emblem, the last promise, void blitzarre adventure
>Fire emblem 6 the binding blade has some really good musi........
>lol why does SoV only allow characters to carry a single item? that's fricking moronic
>NOO YOU SEE IT WAS INTENTIONAL FOR THE GAME TO NOT HAVE TRADING AND HAVE SOME moronic METHOD TO ACTUALLY TRADE ITEMS
piss off, we know you didn't play it
>it portrays war like no other FE game
Vestaria Saga is pretty heavily FE4 inspired.
Yes it is an FE game
Aren't those the games Kage developed after leaving Fire Emblem?
Yes but Vestaria is a free (in Japan) PC indie game, he also made games for the PS1 and 2.
If you don't believe me about it being similar to Jugdral Vestaria has Arvis II, Kempf II and the main character's love interest gets married to a member of the evil cult.
Theodore in Vesetaria saga is also not-Asvel
He's like him in gameplay, but in personality and character he's more like Merric.
I forgot about him. Vestaria politics are also much more involed than FE4 almost to the point of being overwhelimg but I really like it, especially since it's rare to find a game story with that kind of focus.
Accorte best girl
>accorte
For me it will always be Hoelun
That fricking chapter was kino, felt like a mini version of a fe4 map. Also I've been playing VS2 and i am liking the island arc so far, changing between Zade's and Roleck's armies and having to keep in mind stuff like the convoy.
Accorte is cuter, has a cool dad and is part of the kino VS1 endng.
Also, I probably shouldn't mention this but I laughed my head off when Baruke called Paulos a poltroon in VS2
>Vestaria politics are also much more involed than FE4 almost to the point of being overwhelimg
Tearring saga also has the same feeling, there's literally two other protagonists on their own equally-involved adventures as Runan and Holmes that you only catch glimpses of here and there
If it's remade I'd love it if they implemented an order system like the musous, just point a specific place for all your units to move when you're not battling.
>6 elfires more than enough to incinerate anything that moves
If the game is so poorly designed that you need a feature like that might as well make it an autobattler
This is the canon wife of Seliph, also known as "La Esposa" - Queen Mana of Grann
Not canon and never will be. Every gen 1 had sex and reproduced.
Even Arden?
Even Arden.
Ayra raped him...
Arden dies alone for being ugly, not interesting, useless and slow.
Sylvia won't frick you Alec
Why? Care to explain the joke when I'm talking facts about Arden? What's the connection with Sylvia not fricking Alec? I understand that the green/red cavs are like Arden and were made to be completely useless and uninteresting but I don't get the joke.
the FE4 remake (which will be the canonical version of the events) will add female gen 1 OCs so that everyone can get paired up, Arden will have his waifu
Vesteria is the purest of Kagakino. Can you guess who this guy is supposed to be?
True fantasy FE is dead and in its place we either have
>Sister-diddling simulator made by ex-Valkyria Chronicles interns who tread the ugliest fricking middle ground of a style between Nomura-tier garish anime shit and cookie cutter sameface VN designs
>Nonsensical trash from Koei Tecmo that tells you about the totally inconsequential and pointless war between glusphinnichta von phartenphucker and Strusnik Maximoff Cykablyat while Rayquon the pseudo-arabian rusemaster leads everyone along his epic keikaku, all while a million trope-laden technicolor roaches spout quips and flaunt their one defining trait at you ad nauseam
Anyone who wants a Juggdral remake after the weeb-rape Gaiden got is a fricking moron.
VS2 literally just came out. Not played it, but VS1 is better than every FE game released in the last decade. It just has worse graphics.
the inevitable fe4 remake will be the biggest monkey paw since awakening "saving" the series
This image is always amusing
The reaction image is Sharena, part of the problem
>awakening "saving" the series
It's sad that people genuinely believe that
awakening being on the 3ds in a time where the system was starved for games is what saved the series.
it could've been the gaiden remake instead and the results would've been the same.
Exactly, the series was never in danger
Is that why the actual gaiden remake sold so much less than the other 3ds games, bet you think the tellius games could have been big hits if they got advertised or whatever cope people come up with.
being released at the end of a system's life span tends to make games not sell as much yeah.
it happened with FE5 as well which you can not tell me that releasing an SNES game like 4 months into the N64's life span was a good idea.
Dude, have you played fe5? It didn't sell well because of its shit gameplay and bullshit mechanics.
Could you even buy it in stores? I thought you had to take a blank cartridge to one of those Satellaview things and download it.
uhhmmmm. but the game is hard because lief is having a hard time. did you think about that
ITS LUDONARRATIVE YOU NUFEG
Thracia didn't release 4 months into the N64's life, it released 3 YEARS into the 64's life, and only through a weird digital download system in JP only
thanks for the correction, thats worse then i remembered.
I don't even think FE5 is a good game, but it being ass had nothing to do with it selling like shit, which is funny because thats usually not the case.
Best Fire Emblem ever I’d even argue the series peaked here. Best Story too. You either love or hate the mechanics and design
I'm sorry FE4 bros... I've been converted...
How do you guys feel about FE3?
I liked it and prefer how the shards work over the remake but I almost never see people talk about the game and the general consenus seems to be that FE4 is the oldest "worthwhile" game in the series
It's my favourite. I still think Catua is stronger than Palla though.
I've seen her turn out better in the end but Palla just has such an incredible start.
I know but I genuinely can't imagine the opening chapters without Catria and Arran and by the time Palla comes my Catria is already very strong.
Its my favorite Fire Emblem by far, and the remake adding an avatar ruined a lot of it.
BSFE re-release never.
I am a dirty zoomer and preffer FE12's QoL features, but FE3 was still pretty good (at least book 2, book 1 and fe1 as a whole i can't enjoy no matter what) specially abusing the frick out of the starshards.
Pretty good game. I'm doing a second playthrough of it on my Switch (downloaded the Japanese super famicom online app).
FE3 is the most famous and entry-recommended Fire Emblem in Japan.
Most KINO FE ending of all time. Even Yied, under Seliph, has flourished and become beautiful.
>people are unironically defending xavier recruitment
even 3hrt threads weren't this pathetic
Why do you feel obligated to recruit him?
>why do you feel like completing objectives in an SRPG
why do you feel obligated to defend god awful design?
>why do you feel like trying to use the tools the game offers you?
god shut the frick up
Are you going to use that tool or just leave it to rot in the toolbox? Why do you care otherwise other than the compulsion to recruit every character?
It's a fricking optional objective. It's meant to be difficult. I'm glad Kaga didn't sacrifice this game's ludonarrarive integrity for morons like you who want everything handed to them.
>y-you just dont GET le KAGAKINO
every time
I'm glad you realized your own shortcomings. Perhaps you'll come to appreciate it with time.
I didn't even bring up anything about "le kagakino"
>offers
>Not even "forced", just "offers".
Just fricking kill him and get it over.
You said it yourself. The game gives you the chance to save Xavier and the Leonster guard. It's not meant to be easy. Maybe pay attention to the themes of the story and you'll understand next playthrough.
I just cheesed him by sleeping the freege armors, the actually hard side objective in that map is getting the silver card, frick that shit.
Gen 1 has the best story in all of Fire Emblem, Gen 2 is a pretty generic Fire Emblem story. A first playthrough is fun, but repeated playthroughs kinda become a slog - I get everyone to max Arena level within reason every single chapter (if they can't pass a Myrm at 4 or beat the last person, so be it. Sylvia and Lene only get 1-2 fights because that's all they can handle, usually).
In my most recent playthrough, I had Shannan Astra Ishtar and it felt powerful.
FE5 is all about overcoming insurmountable odds, both for the characters and the players. Xavier's recruitment is just another part of that. If success were any easier, the victory would feel less sweet. Storytelling and gameplay perfectly intertwined. Ludo at its finest.

Correct! It was Arden. She was able to cheese so many Arena fights because of her frick huge HP and like 10 base def
>play boomer emblem
>get to *that* part
>turn off game
sigh...
'you wouldn't use him anyway' and 'uhhhh it's supposed to be hard!!' are not arguments
Why not? Articulate without using buzzwords.
you first
I'm not the one claiming those aren't valid points. Learn to argument, homosexual. The burden of proof is on you.
Need to try FE5 at some point but Leif is such a little gimp I don't really want to
FE5 is one of the most abusable FEs ever. Literally anyone can be great if you know how to play, Leif included
>tfw keeping Marty at level 1 until you get the Sety and Odo scrolls
then its Marty Party time
I stopped thinking of Leif as an weak, slow loser and started thinking of him as a 60 uses mag targeting 2 range sword
Leif is pretty great, and that sword is almost dry by the time I'm outta Manster
when you're out of manster he gets the king sword soon, start thinking of him as a charisma support bot
Just feed him the life and speed ring before Manster and that usually fixes him if you actually want to use him.
Asking in this thread, whats the next fire emblem game I should play if I have only finished three houses?
What did you like about Three Houses? That would help in giving you a rec.
I enjoyed the characters most of all and getting to know their backstories and motivations, the gameplay was also pretty good.

Yeah no.

its okay when kaga does it though because it's part of the theme of the story
He's talking about Three Houses, you schizo.
i know. and i'm talking about genealogy, which 3h draws a lot from, but gets passes for similar shit because it was made by the epic kino based trad meme man
If you like the characters being invlolved in what's going on I would recommend Path of Radiance next
S-Supports and Tea time
Fates (don't bother with Revalation unless you're a completionist)
Most FE games fill those requirements. If you want a generic "next step", FE7 or Awakening are the normal recommendations people give. Three Houses and its story were also partly inspired by FE4 which this thread is about, but it has some major gameplay deviations from "normal FE", so use your own judgement if you're interested.
One of the best zoomer filters of all time.
I find fe4's story to be kinda boring but Jugdral has hands down the best worldbuilding in the series
I think that if anything its the opposite the story for Jugdr is actually really interesting along with the character details. The lore itself is pretty barebones.
Holy shit how are there so many wrong opinions ITT. Is this really how FE threads are post 3H?
Post Awakening you mean
what's the best snes fe game
5
Didn't even read the homosexuals in the replies, I just wanted you to know that you're based, op.
someone rank the series please
my favs are fe7 for gba
path of radiance for gc
awakening for 3ds
which ones should i play
4 > 3 > 7 > 9 > 5 > 6 > 8 >>>>> everything else (haven't played 3 Houses yet tho)
I like FE4 but holy frick are the maps a drag sometimes
>Moving everyone through the fricking desert on Sigurd's final map when there's no enemies left just a fricking long ass walk
Fricking MISERABLE
I feel like a lot of the people who complain about it are trying to optimize arena and staff spam or some shit because it’s free levels but you really don’t need to do that and the game won’t feel as much of a slog
Why does NOBODY talk about this game when 90% of fire emblem discussion is 3ds related?
because no one played it
People give it way too much shit for the maps when all nu fe games (save conquest and even that one has some stinkers) have mediocre to bad maps
This game was fun until you get to the back to back swamp maps. I dropped it like a rock and never completed it due to those.
Because while it fixes the biggest problem with Gaiden like shit hit rates along with actually having deployment, it kept some of the other problems like the dogshit open as frick maps and hilariously bad unit balance.
Story somehow got worse since most the stuff they added was pointless or terrible, like how much of a fricking waste Faye is, how pointless shitters like Berkut are, or how Celica is even more moronic than she origionally was.
Also no dating sim aspect so the personagays dont care about it.
It was kind of a weird experience, it was suddenly announced and then quickly released. It was released at a time when Persona 5, Nier Automata, the Switch and BotW where the talk of everyone, and the 3DS was discontinued. A shame because it's a pretty fun game.
I feel like thracia 776 is way better as a proof of concept game than fe4
fe4 is an absolute slog to play through and the game never actually gets difficult
tbtbh i feel like it's wildly overrated by the community
If anything Thracia is the overrrated one
it's been over 20 years and ISIS still haven't managed to come up with a unique mechanic that even comes close to being as good as rescue+capture
Shoving, pairup, and weapon arts are all worthless and/or shitty gimmick mechanics that don't compare to rescue+capture
>if i dont like it its a gimmick
>doesnt replay fire emblem games
kagakeks are so fricking deranged
>autist has nothing better to do with his time than replay games dozens of times
Many such cases.
>this game is great! i never ever want to play it again.
replayability is the core of good fire emblem games
The older games especially are pointless to replay. There's no customization or player choice. You're following the same linear game through the same path. You autists are so sad, deluding yourselves into thinking there's fun to be had repeating the same things endlessly ancient video games.
only in recent times. Shit used to be the black sheep of FE. I greatly enjoy what they tried to do with 776, and you really do feel like you're a rebel army at times because of capture mechanic and shop prices
Too bad that like every open world game, it's bad, as the very idea of open world is fundamentally flawed.
Best writing in FE, its actually quite good. Game looks good, esp since its a late SFC game. Cool music.
Boring as shit to actually play. Some of the worst maps in the series and one of the easiest FE if your not playing for rank..
Playing for rank or LTC is only something autists do. Normal people play the games and enjoy them as is. 4 has plenty of difficulty spikes you have to overcome, it's much better balanced than actual easy games like FE1
>Playing for rank or LTC is only something autists do.
Yeah that's FE game don't have in game ranking systems oh wait.
Silence ESL
And nobody gives a frick about rank in a long JRPG. People are not going to replay the game or change the way they play due to a worthless rank being given at the end.
4 literally has a ranking system moron.
>Played Thracia and planned my own SSS Ranked run without help of guides or watching Fire Emblem "Influencer" shit youtubers
Frick you! I worked hard for that triple S!
You're like a cuck that cares about cheevos, only worse since it's stuck in one screen at the end of a game that no one will ever see. Pathetic.
Data's saved on my cartridge I can show people anytime I want. And I don't play games for achievements to have meaningless messages pop up with meaningless scores.
But you did. You don't gain anything from getting SSS rank than the devs stroking your ego with letters.
Whats the best entry point to fe?
sacred stones and path of radiance
7,8 or 13 are good entry points
the best game once you really understand fe imo is conquest lunatic
Honestly, 7, blazing blade.
the one that came out in the west first, so the one called fire emblem in the GBA.
7 I think, straightforward and uncomplicated, other games add stuff or change mechanics (or don't have mechanics that eventually become standard in the series) which is fine by itself but I think it's the closest to vanilla flavor, just keep in mind games in this series can have pretty stark differences between them despite what it looks like
if you want to play boring strategy games with low mechanical depth then do GBA fe. If you want a very dynamic but admittedly sluggish strategy game with lots of different armies and map objectives then play Radiant dawn. If you want the best gameplay experience and a plethora of tactics mechanics as well as customization, play fates conquest
Conquest is trash, only looks good when compared to the more smelly turds released alongside it.
why
Radiant Dawn with animations turned completely off running at 150% speed approaches bearable again
Which, with all the other stuff going on under the hood, is fantastic! But holy shit people weren't kidding about the speed
I'm not sure how I did it when I was a kid on the Wii, it's torture
The fact you only unlock the fastest animation setting once you beat the game at least once still astounds me to this day
I thought Chrono Trigger had the best soundtrack for SNES until I played this game. Almost every single piece of music in this game is 10/10.
Anyone else play Symphony of War? Basically a love letter to the old Fire Emblem games, especially Genealogy. I highly recommend it.
Is this the buggy indie game that the community shilled as a great FE fan game?
No, that was Dark Deity.
