Y'all play Fire Emblem?

[Melqart]

I've played every fire emblem released, except for the newest one. There used to be a community that translated all of the games into English on ROMs back in the day.

i want to start playing it because it looks like a cool game and series to get into,but i gotta take time to learn the game play mechanics and battle system since its different from turn based rpgs im used to like Chrono Trigger,Pokemon,and Final Fantasy

I haven't picked up Fates but Awakening is a top 5 game on the 3DS. I recently beat it after my save was overwritten.

How's the difficulty in this one? Are you still able to be a one-man wrecking machine with the main character?

fire emblem is dope because strategy actually matters. if a character is killed, their gone forever

Awakening was pretty goat, but mad easy compared to the other ones. I can see why they did it, but still.

Fire Emblem the main reason I wanna get a DS but I've never made the jump.

I hope Nintendo drops one for the NX. If the handheld/console combi rumours are true, I guess they will

It seems more difficult than the last one. If you're playing on Classic, the margin for error is actually a lot less than in Awakening. One wrong move and you restarting that map...

Nah, in Awakening Frederick was that dude for the first 10-12 chapters, you could just send him in, sit back, and watch the bodies pile up, but there isn't anyone like that in Fates. Main character is kind of weak (maybe he/she gets stronger later on I dunno.)

It was easy but 'easy' is relative, it's still tougher than most RPGs nowadays. And some of the side stories (at least stories 20-23) were legit kinda difficult. I never finished that one where it was like 30 of your guys vs. 50 enemies (ss 23, I think)
