Yep, I concur. Very good. Pulls you in. Played it until the wee hours of the morning last night.

Ok...lemme ask this.

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?

KnowsNothing · « **Reply #27 on:** October 23, 2005, 10:13:50 AM »

I've never played Path of Radience. I haven't finished Fire Emblem (GBA) or even played Sacred Stones. I played only a bit of FFTA. I've played a ton of AW2.

So yeah, that's my story. Out of what I've played, FFTA is the only one I really didn't enjoy.

The End

I've never really gotten into Advance Wars, but I love the Fire Emblem series. I have no other basis of comparison.
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.

Chris1 · « **Reply #29 on:** October 23, 2005, 02:51:42 PM »

Well I just got this game, and it is awesome!! Everyone BUY IT NOW!! Its okay i'll wait...

WuTangTurtle · « **Reply #30 on:** October 23, 2005, 07:31:58 PM »

Hostile im the other way around, i got into Advance Wars first, and i believe ppl here on the forums got me into Fire Emblem. I don't know which one i would choose, they are basically the same game with different rules and presentation, although Fire Emblem gives u a good story and character developments with balanced gameplay unlike the more wacky Advanced Wars DS.

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.

Holy crap... Ike is a lord now. So. Manly.

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.

Combined? Truly Awe-inspiring!

I hope this gets an Australian release soon.

I'm getting this game December 7. After that I will rejoice with you. Until that day, I am sad.

vudu · « **Reply #34 on:** December 15, 2005, 11:33:02 AM »

So I've been playing this game for about a week now. Thus far, I'm pretty happy with it. The story is really good, albeit a bit cliché. My biggest complaint is that it's much too easy on the normal skill level. FE7 (original GBA one) was a lot harder. Although if you've never played a FE game, I'm sure this is an excellent one to ease you into the series.

KnowsNothing · « **Reply #35 on:** December 15, 2005, 11:47:22 AM »

I think it's hard ;____;

PaLaDiN · « **Reply #36 on:** December 15, 2005, 12:03:29 PM »

Isn't there a hard mode? I don't remember.

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.

odifiend · « **Reply #37 on:** December 15, 2005, 12:33:18 PM »

Yeah, this is my first Fire Emblem ever and I played it on Hard mode my first go. My bro played it simultaneously on normal. There are some noticeable differences in the way bosses will fight you (in normal, they are practically retarded esp. the last one) but otherwise the regular enemies fight you the same.
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.

Terranigma Freak · « **Reply #38 on:** December 16, 2005, 04:44:52 AM »

You know that Nintendo toned down the game's difficulty once again. They also destroyed some of the bonus extras that came with the Japanese version. The American version is missing the Maniac difficulty setting - Maniac as in the Japanese version's Maniac mode. The also took out the bonus official artwork of the entire cast of FE6 (one with Roy). As I recall, they also removed a few trial maps that you could only get by linking up with FE6.

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.

Yeah, 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.

Chris1 · « **Reply #40 on:** December 16, 2005, 01:23:12 PM »

are the gba fire emblems and this one related in any way?

odifiend · « **Reply #41 on:** December 16, 2005, 01:34:14 PM »

nope

Ending Walker Tropic · « **Reply #42 on:** December 18, 2005, 08:45:32 PM »

Hey guys I just bought this today. But I'm not sure about playing it cos you know. I heard theres children in it and I hate kids.

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.

Nephilim · « **Reply #43 on:** December 19, 2005, 02:25:32 AM »

yeah croppy lv1 brats, cant be bothered spending my dads exp bonus on them
so they can go jump off a cliff

PaLaDiN · « **Reply #44 on:** December 19, 2005, 05:26:21 AM »

Well, you could kill the kids off. Or just not use them again. Unless of course you're a masochist... wouldn't surprise me, since all the evidence points to your hating fun.

Ending Walker Tropic · « **Reply #45 on:** December 19, 2005, 10:02:46 PM »

I'm not that far yet. I had to rescue the kids beacuse they were dumb enough to get kidnapped. But I hear you hated PoP so anything you have to say about fun is disqualified.

odifiend · « **Reply #46 on:** December 20, 2005, 04:27:19 AM »

That might be true if PoP was fun to begin with...

vudu · « **Reply #47 on:** December 20, 2005, 08:25:18 AM »

Sands of Time is awesome. PaLaDiN is just bitter because of the lack of subtitles.

What's everyone's take on Rolf? Is he worth using, or should I just wait for Shinon to show up again?

odifiend · « **Reply #48 on:** December 20, 2005, 10:20:50 AM »

I admit I never played sands of time, but PoP 2 is tied with Turok for the worst game I ever bought - which means I found it unplayable.
vudu: Rolf totally smokes Shinon What you'll find is that the more inexperienced they start off, the better they will be. Potential GET!
