Haven't seen it myself but that sounds good. Is Nintendo actually not screwing this up? This is the big Cube title for the year and it's good to see that NOA knows that and is taking it seriously.

It will most likely be the last. Need to teach Nintendo that this Japanese crap needs to stop and to make some real rpgs for us westerners. Hopefully the Rev will provide this..
If you're talking the likes of Bioware or Bethesda, you best look elswhere. I can't think of any other famous Western RPG devs, since a good chunk of them folded (Black Isle, Interplay, etc). Until they announce otherwise, expect them not to touch a Nintendo system with a 100 foot pole. Pick up a '360. Mass Effect(Jade Empire 2, another KOTOR?) Elder Scrolls 4, and the new Fallout(not confirmed, but most likely) will be home to said system...
Couple with the fact that Nintendo has no tight western connections (See Rare, Silicon Knights, Factor 5), and hasn't bothered to replace them, a western RPG looks quite grim. Unless Nintendo Software Tech steps up to the plate LOL.
On topic, anybody hear of any snazzy pre-order incentives? A demo of Zelda TP would be nice, but too ideal...

I heard Ubisoft was supposed to give soundtracks of all 3 POP's with the preorder of POP 3. I also heard that the GC is getting shafted once again, and the soundtrack will only be available for PS2 and Xbox preordered not not GC preorderes? There have been no confirmation of this that im aware of, but why in the hell would UBi exclude GC from a Preorder bonus?

AND EVERYONE HATES KIDS.
QuoteYEAH THOSE DAMN JAPANESE WHO SAID THEY COULD BE JAPANESE? I DON'T RECALL GIVING THEM MY PERMISSION! GODAMMIT IT'S NOT ENOUGH BEING SURROUNDED BY WESTERN CULTURE LIKE MCDONALDS ALL THE TIME IN THIS PLACE. I DEMAND ALL MY ENTERTAINMENT TO REFLECT THIS. WHY MUST NINTENDO FORCE JAPANESE IDEAS TO ME?

QuoteSo I was like on this train right. We were travelling along some Path of Radience. And suddenly there was the loud noise and the train was way off the tracks and there were children screaming cos like some Persian soldiers from Babylon (no really) declared they were taking over the train and to turn around and head back to Montreal and one guy got a free cd full of cock rock but he didn't give a copy to some other guy. And WHERE ARE WE GOING? THIS ISN'T FIRE EMBLEM THIS ISN'T FIRE EMBLEM AT ALL!

Japanese RPG's tend to be turn-based vrs western-developed titles are real-time (FF vrs Dungeon and Dragons).

Now RAB I don't think Nosferat2 is an arsehead.......
Wait. Wait I am getting a FLASHBACK!!
Woah. Is this the same Nosferat2 who has a copy of Super Smash Brothers Melee but refuses to play it because it looks too cute and cuddly? IT IS! The same Nosferat2 who is tired of seeing ads for "DK and other lame games"? IT IS!
I don't think there is a word more appropriate than arsehead, that is within the borders of good taste.

I...don't like strategy RPGs. I mean, its not for lack of trying. I played FFTA for months, trying to get into it. I wanted to like it, so very much. But...I just couldn't get into it.
I keep hearing all this wonderful stuff about Fire Emblem...given my lack of ability to truly enjoy an SRPG...should I still pick it up? How much of a SRPG is it?
Post by: KnowsNothing on October 23, 2005, 10:13:50 AM
So yeah, that's my story. Out of what I've played, FFTA is the only one I really didn't enjoy.
The End
Post by: Hostile Creation on October 23, 2005, 11:52:28 AM
I highly recommend at least a rent. The dialogue and story in Fire Emblem alone, all the characters, are enough to make it interesting, even if you don't like the gameplay style.

I haven't had the time to get into FE
R yet but with less than an hour into it i think it'll get me hooked just like the previous installments.I just realized something, i have Advance Wars DS, Lost In Blue, Fire Emblem PR, and CounterStrike CS (PC) taking up my current gaming fix, this is going to be a struggle for me to decide which one to play when the opportunity arrives. I can easily rack up the hours in any of the mentioned games. For heavens sake, last night as i was sleeping in my bed i played Lost in Blue for like 3 hours! <-----yeah i know that is counter productive to sleeping, lol. Pray for me, for i will most likely lose it just trying to pick which one to play.

This is my Game of the Year. No competition. I'm enjoying it even more than Civ 4 and RE4, and I didn't think that was possible.

I still have nothing but love for this game... I'm in the last stretch of the game, I just need time to finish it. Probably in winter break.
Post by: odifiend on December 15, 2005, 12:33:18 PM
Yeah, I really liked this game. Beat Hard mode, now playing Fire Emblem: Sacred stones and looking for the elusive FE7 for a decent price.
EDIT: Did Nintendo send anyone else that Fire Emblem survey? I hope they are getting some answers that will lead to future FEs.
Post by: Terranigma Freak on December 16, 2005, 04:44:52 AM
Then there's the preorder bonuses where you get a bonus CD soundtrack when you preorder the game. No such luck here for us smelly Americans.
Post by: vudu on December 16, 2005, 08:53:50 AM
QuoteYeah, there's a hard mode. But I kept thinking it was going to get harder as the game progressed. I think I'm just going to finish it up and then I'll start a new file and play on hard and use a different set of characters.
Isn't there a hard mode? I don't remember.

EDIT: Ok so I played it and sure enough the kids in the game started crying. In fact the entire cast is an all round group of gays. So far only the pirates have been cool but NO, they had to die apparently because some weak village or something didn't like them stealing chickens or something stupid. Then after the mission BLAH BLAH LET'S CRAP ON ABOUT ETHICS. More like no mercenary has morals at all.

Post by: odifiend on December 20, 2005, 10:20:50 AM
vudu: Rolf totally smokes Shinon What you'll find is that the more inexperienced they start off, the better they will be. Potential GET!
