Fire Emblem Megathread

congrats on beating the game. now it's time to play the sequel.
yeah, sedgar and wolf are 2 of the most broken characters in the game, especially if they are in the general class. they basically become walking demon walls from final fantasy after 2 level ups.

Thanks I will play the sequel, but not right now. Gonna rest from FE for a while.
Yeah, I didn't know how broken Sedgar was in Shadow Dragon. He basically saved my run a lot of times, especially at the end.
I got curious: gameplay and story wise, is New Mystery of The Emblem better than Shadow Dragon?

i'll get back to you on new mystery of the emblem. i tried it out, but that was mainly with testing emulators. this is where the "avatar" character thing starts up though. you get a fairly customizable player character who is part of the story.
i think, as part of it being a port/remake, they probably tweaked some stats for characters. i don't think you could swap classes in the original, and a lot of characters end up sitting on the bench most of the time. it seems like most characters were buffed a bit to encourage more replays with different builds, primarily for the multiplayer mode.

Neat, didn't know the customizable character started in this game.
In essence, it close to Shadow Dragon, but with some changes here and there. I saw some screenshots from New Mystery and the characters still have the same stoic faces from earlier
I gonna give it a shot someday, before that i want to play some good FE, the ones that are high regarded in the community, like Awakening and Path of Radiance.

i've seen some discussions on some fire emblem videos that the ds games might have been testing grounds for later ideas, like casual mode and the custom avatar character.
it should be like shadow dragon, but according to some notes that i read while checking out the shadow dragon: full content patch, they adjusted the stat growth rates, and they seem to be higher in the sequel game, since using the patch version with the new emblem growth rates makes shadow dragon easier.
awakening is pretty good, most of the game can be made super easy with the buddy system they implemented, where characters join up to fight alongside each other. you get extra damage and enemy attacks can be nullified by the partner character. it also helps speed up support bonds.
path of radiance is one of the best ones, but make sure that you play through it on at least normal mode. you can transfer some clear data to the sequel, but the game crashes if the data is from a save on the easy difficulty.
i was quite pissed the first time i played radiant dawn after just clearing path of radiance. it kept crashing so i just skipped it and played through on a clean file.
