The official Fire Emblem thread

[Lord Pyre]

Has anyone here ever played Fire Emblem for the Gamecube or Gameboy? It's my favorite video game series, with Path of Radiance for the Gamecube being my favorite. It's basically Heroscape with RPG elements. Really addicting game, with an actually deep storyline!

If you play, what are your fav units, and what skills do you give them?

[Uprising]

Geez, I haven't played Fire Emblem in a good 2 years. Great games. I used to have the two for the Gameboy Advance. I actually liked them a little better than the one for GameCube, which I rented and beat, but never owned.

I always liked using as many Magic users as possible because they're attacks had a good hit percentage and they were effective against lots of different unit types.

Great games but I was always a Shining Force man myself.

[dragonfire]

Nintendos most under rated series. It rocks hard!

[XSI Addict 32]

I love it. I have number 8 for the GBA. I have spent numerous hours prefecting my characters. Oh how I love it.

[johnny139]

I've played some of the Gamecube one, and didn't like it much. Good idea, but I don't like the playstyle. It's just... I dunno, I just don't like it.

[Bloody the Marro Stinger]

Yeah, Fire Emblems good. I need to play the GC one sometime...

[AmishBurrito]

I liked the Fire Emblem I played on GBA, and I have the one for GC, but I have not played it. I keep buying games and never playing them if they are not multiplayer : (. I have Metroid Prime 3 since release date, but havn't opened it yet. Maybe I am just so boring I bore myself.

[royaldoy]

I have played almost all the SRPG's for the PS1, PS2 and Gamecube. This is the only one I have ever started and not finished other than Tactics Ogre. I found the game annoyingly frustrating.

"I'll attack this guy. Oh, he killed me. I guess i'll reload my game and try again. I'll try someone new and see if they can kill him this time....hmmm, I died again. Maybe I should try a different character again. Ohhhh, he died to. How annoying, how boring, how unpredictable."
:cry:

With no explanations as to why certain attacks and defenses are inferior or superior is just plain dumb. I chose to spend my time playing a game that made much more sense.

I know I am in the minority but that game was plain crap.

Haven't tried the hand held versions though. I have no time for those with the back catalog of console games piling higher every day.

[dra(gon)]

i got the gba parts and the gc but fe is not a ”game” it is taktik in every move you want never lose one charkter. if.... new start the mission. and it is hard some times.
i think advance wars the brother is a littel better in who cares how many die i winn (ok ranking) but both games are grafic poor but high class game play.

[Jandars_Hope]

I only have Path of Radiance but I loved it. I have to admit I had to keep restarting the chapters because I didn't want any of my peeps dying, but at one point I got really far and one person died, but I didn't want to restart because it took me ages to complete the chapter. I haven't gotten round to completing the game though. :?
Can't wait for the next version on Wii!

[johnny139]

I got depressed once my axeman died... it made me sad... and I get sad when I throw away the water bottle I've been using for the past week, so you can imagine what a fictional human's death would do.

[Jandars_Hope]

I'm the same when one of the characters dies. I must save everyone!
My favourites from the game have to be the Mages and the Horse rider, Titania!

[XSI Addict 32]

Thirded. I also obsees over my guys. They must have at leat one perfect stat before advancing in class level.

[Jandars_Hope]

Did anyone ever play the Gameboy versions? How do they compare to Path of Radiance? Are they worth buying?

[XSI Addict 32]

I found sacred stones to be excellent. I don't know much about Radiance, but I know SS lacks the weapon builder feature. I have many hours invested in SS, and for $20 or less, its a pretty good deal.

[Jandars_Hope]

[XSI Addict 32]

If you search it on youtube, people have videos of themselves playing levels. You can get an idea of what your looking at.

Ok will do.

[Jandars_Hope]

I watched a video on you tube of Sacred Stones but I think i'll wait for Fire Emblem on the Wii. Isn't it going to be called Goddess of Dawn?

[Uprising]

I got past my units dying after it happened 30 times. I used to restart levels over and over and over again just to save a character or two. After a while I just said screw it and once they were gone, they were gone.

[Lord Pyre]

I got Path of Radiance around last Christmas when I got my Wii. Then, I was playing Twilight princess all winter.... I just killed the Black Knight, and the sequels coming our next month!!!

I've beaten Sacred Stones 5 times.... I loved that game. I unlocked all of the secret characters, too.... I tried playing it a 6th time, but then I felt a strange sensation I've never felt when playing Fire Emblem. I GOT BORED!!!!!!!
Oh, well, picked up Path of Radiance, and like more than Twilight Princess!

I like the fact that your people can die. If you make a mistake, you pay for it. It adds a little more realism. You can't be shot through the heart, hit by meteors, blown up by magic, assassinated, and get up right after the battle. Come on!

Sorry for the long post. Had to catch up on what everyone said. I'm also making PoR heroscape cards just for fun. I may post them when they're done.

(I think the Wii game was renamed Radiant Dawn, but I'm not 100% sure)

[Jandars_Hope]

I just bought sacred stones off ebay as it was going cheap, plus I need something to get me back into gaming because ATM the games released recently don't interest me. Metroid Prime 3 isn't out until October so I need something to pass the time.

[Jandars_Hope]

I have not been keeping up with the latest gaming info and I hadn't realised then Wii version of Fire Emblem is announced for a November release in the States. Hopefully it will be released before Xmas over here too.

[Lord Pyre]

I didn't find out about the Wii version coming out until recently, and I have my money tied up with Brawl, so hopefully I'll get my Emblem for Christmas, or something...

[Jandars_Hope]

Did anyone play the game Baten Kaitos? (sp?) Is it similar to FE because i was going to get it when it came out but got Path of Radiance instead. I am also replaying FE:PoR again and finding it alot better than when I first played because I have a better understanding of it.

[dra(gon)]

my brother played baiten kaitos, part 2 should come out or?
the game is more ff with cards.
not great but the low suport of gc rpg make every good.
fe was a thing like aw buried in jp graves. like dragon quest 1-7 in europe, crono trigger, crono cross, phönix wright.

[Jandars_Hope]

:cheer:
I just completed Path of Radiance yesterday.
I lost one character and failed to recruit 2 others.

I've been playing Sacred Stones aswell.
I hope that they introduce such creatures as the Skeleton Warriors and other monsters into Radiant Dawn because the Path of Radiance didn't have much variety in that sense.

[Lord Pyre]

I beat it a few weeks ago, with every character and no deaths. (I always play like that...)

My main characters were (In order of most kills...):
Oscar
Ike
Soren
Boyd
Jill
Volke
Rhys
Mia
Gatrie
Lethe
Reyson

I think that was the order... I'm sure about the top five. And I don't believe I missed any of my characters, either...

[Eclipse]

How's the animation in this one? The GCN version really bothered me for some reason. None of the animations had the same flair or quality of the 2D games and all looked really still and silly. Killed the game for me.

[Lord Pyre]

We're talking about the Gamecube one... And I thought the graphics were pretty good, except that the critical hits weren't as good as in the 2D ones. I missed the old Swordmaster critical, though they gave them Astra, which was basically the same. :wink:

[dra(gon)]

i hope the wii version will look better. the gc grafik is not so great. the gba parts have more charm in grafik. and played more like an retro taktik game.
so if fe comes to wii or ds i have no problem.
but a ds collection with fe 1-6 would be great.

I usually play it so I don't get any deaths and reset the chapter but when Jill died I got Haar and decided to have her as a sacrifice. :lol:

My main characters were:
Titania
Soren (who I keep calling Sonlen) :)
Kieran
Oscar
Ike
Rhys
Boyd
Ilyana
Astrid
Rolf
Mordecai/Lethe (I used to use these two alot in past games but this time around I used them less.)

I think I used more but can't remember them now.
At the end Titania had the most kills - something like 221! Whereas I had some units that hadn't killed anyone. I love the Mages and Sages. I think the two units that helped me the most were definitely Titania because she can take multiple hits, and Rhys because he was the main healer and also gained the Light attacks.

[RageAngel]

LOL... I sold my fire emblem collection to get started in Heroscape....

Was almost done the first one on GBA, hadn't started the others.

For Shame! :headshake:

Although Heroscape is a worthy cause. :D

[Nemothy]

I Love FE, PoR is my favorite, but I'm disapointed that the swordmasters in PoR are weaker than SS, Joshua and Mia are my favorite characters. so is Nephenee, but sheisn't a swordmaster, so she's irellevant.

I can't wait for Wii's game, Radient Dawn, i'm really glad they kept the Greil Mercinaries in the new game.

[Jandars_Hope]

I'm starting to get into Sacred Stones and you're right about the swordmasters.

Also there are some returning characters from PoR in Radiant Dawn:
Sothe - is now the younger brother of the female main character.
Geoffrey - apparently now as a knight (like Gatrie) and not a arrow knight/paladin.
Maurim - the green laguz.
Jill - the wyvern rider.
Elincia - the Queen.
Lucia - a swordmaster.

Also this game is meant to have 44 chapters where PoR only had 29!

No offense, but you are really confused.
1. All characters from PoR are returning, except Largo
2. PoR had 20 chapters

And they are now making Fire Emblem DS with MARTH! It will be a remake of #1 and #3(which is a remake of 1)

Yes, all of the chars will be in, but Largo will be an NPC.
Path of Radience had 29-30 chapters, while Sacred Stones had about 20.

And I've never heard of that DS thing, but I'm glad they're finally coming to America. Unfortunately I don't have a DS, so I can't enjoy.... :(

[dragonfire]

I am so into Sacred Stones right now! SO awesome. But hard.

[Lord Pyre]

I thought PoR was harder...

How far are you? And can you see, yet, why I want Ephraim and Lyon in Brawl? Hehehe.....

(Radient Dawn came out today!!!! But, I'm going to beat PoR once or twice more before I get it.)

[dragonfire]

Im on chapter 12 in the Erika story. Then I will do the 7 chapters of Ephraim, then, the 5 they both share.

[Lord Pyre]

I've always thought that Ephraim's path was MUCH better. The story was just weird in Eirika's but it makes more sense with Ephraim.

[DeadZa]

FE games are quite awesome. I tried finding ROMs of the older Super-Nintendo ones but couldn’t find any translations. As is I’ve played both GBA games through and really enjoyed them. I actually really liked the “death is forever” aspect because it forced you to make the best choices and sometimes you just had to suck it up and deal with death.

I recall beating the first GBA game with a horrific casualty list on the last boss. I found it rather fitting that the final boss got to grind up a few (like 6+ before I figured out what to do) heroes before being put down. It amused me to look back at the end credit messages that relayed the final fate of all the characters inculding dates of death. Great games, too bad I don’t care for the Cube/Wii.

What do you think? Did you read about the wolf laguz. :twisted: Cool 8)

[dragonfire]

I am very excited for FE 11. That is on the DS which rocks. Its a remake of 1 and 3(3 was a remake of 1)

But do you think they will add 1-5(the non american, console ones) on Virtual console?


Also, I got FE 10, but its for Chanukka. Thats Dec 5

[dragonfire]

I played the new wii one yesterday. Very fun. The wolf is cool

[dragonfire]

After reading all of Sorens support conversations, I really have a new respect for him. The way his life was actually made me very sad.

[deutschboy]

What is your favorite support conversation from any Fire Emblem? Mine is Batre and Canas from FE 7 (Flaming Sword). But do you think they will add 1-5(the non american, console ones) on Virtual console?
I think they will either wait and give them to us near the end of the DS era, or give them to us on Virtual Console. I'm gonna start playing the wii one today :D I havn't read all of Sorens supports yet, but it's sad that his life is sad :cry:

[deutschboy]

Are you telling me that in the entire heroscapers website there are only 11 Fire Emblem Fans (that have posted in this thread at least).

Can anyone tell me where to find another Fire Emblem forum? :pray:

[deutschboy]

Please...

[deutschboy]

Someone...

[deutschboy]

ANYONE!!! :drowning: Please!!! :help:

[dragonfire]

Chill. I agree we need more Fire Emblem fans.

[Metaknight]

I would want to get the Wii game but heard it was nothing special, like it could have been for GameCube. I am sure to get the 2008 DS one though...

[HeroscaperHuh]

Fire Emblem (GBA)-Awsome!
Sacred Stones (GBA)-Great, little to easy, might be the 5 times I beat it
Path of Radience (GC)-Great, to many characters!!!
Radient Dawn (Wii)-INCREDIBLE!!! BEST!!! Your "Lord" is a mage! If you didn't guess, I'm playing this one now. You gotta get the stratigy guide.

And also, if you didn't notice, I am freakishly passonite about these games. And yes, I have bad spelng.

[Bloody the Marro Stinger]

And yes, I have bad spelng.
This is all that matters.
On a far more serious and sane note, I play Fire Emblem also, but not every game. I'm not fanatically addicted or anything.

[dragonfire]

I am starting to be! I beat 8 and 9 and am getting 10. Meta, get 10. Just because its a GC game, doesnt mean its bad. Legend of Zelda TP is a GC game.

[Metaknight]

Is 10 Radient Dawn? Well, stupid me sold GameCube and controllers to get Wii. On my friends reserve but he's moved on to Microsoft...

I might get it. Do any of the games have any sort of multyplayer?

[Lord Pyre]

Wow, I should check my own topics more often....

FE 10 is the Wii game, so you have nothing to fear, Metaknight.

I don't plan on getting it until I beat Path of Radiance once or twice more, so I'll get it next year sometime.

Sacred Stones? I know ever little trick in that game... I beat it five or so times, and unlocked all of the secret characters and stuff, though I never got quite all of the supports...

[dragonfire]

WTF! Get the new one? Whats fun about playing it 2 or 3 times. How many times have you played? Im on my second/final.

[deutschboy]

Lord Pyre is smart to play the GC one a couple more times. He's racking up on support conversations so when he does get FE 10 he will start off with a bunch of supports. Thus giving him the upper hand!
Lord Pyre, go to You Tube and watch the first cut scene, it'll make you want to beat the FE 9 a lot faster!!!. Thank goodness, HeroscaperHuh has joined. Have you played Sword of Sealing (The one with Roy)? A friend just got a copy for me. FE 10 is definitely the best yet, but FE 7 is a close second in my opinion.

[Lord Pyre]

No, I've never found a copy of it that wasn't on ebay/Amazon...

Other than supports, I just like Fire Emblem games so much that I like playing them over and over....

The wide variety of characters give it a lot of replay value.

[HeroscaperHuh]

Oh, I forgot...the one reason you really gotta play Radiant Dawn...Opening Movie!!! It is so awesome! It has Sothe!

[Was Abi]

I have been using my friend duetschboy's account for a few months now and finally got around to making my own. Yay for me! :D Now I need to get my custom page up... I'll have to try this week end. See you'll later.



p.s. sorry about the triple post earlier when i was using Duetschboy's account

[Lord Pyre]

Right now I'm playing Genealogy of the Holy War. Really good, but I don't understand why everyone likes Sigurd... Ike and Ephraim seem so much cooler... And better gameplay-wise. Of course, I'm only a few chapters in, but....

(Please no spoilers, if you know any)

[Was Abi]

I've never even seen a picture of Sigurd that I can remember at least... I have never played Geneology of the Holy War either. I personly think that Ike and Lyn are the best lords followed by Hector and Ephraim. I'm still a little upset that Lyn is just a support statue and not playable. :ninja:

[Lord Pyre]

http://usuarios.lycos.es/geng/Smash/Newcomers/Sigurd001.jpg

http://www.bluedragon.it/images/fe4/Sigurd.jpg

There's Sigurd.

I haven't played FE 7; I'm still looking for a copy, so I don't know how good Lyn is....

And for the statue, I'm assuming you're talking about Brawl...

[Was Abi]

Yes I meant Brawl because I thought you were refering to the Brawl forum when you said everyone likes Sigurd.

p.s. who is the second person that Sothe can support in Path of Radience (because I just finished the file I was working on and am now starting Radient Dawn) I must have forgotten to recruit that person.

p.p.s. thanks for showing Sigurd to me. What's w/ his hair!?!?

[Lord Pyre]

I don't remember who his supports are... I've never used him.

And Sigurd's flat face bothers me more than his hair... Though both are pretty annoying.

[johnny139]

Sigurd is a bishie. It's just something you need to accept.

[GeckoLover]

I have played Fire Embllem for GameBoy GameCube and Wii. The Wii one is good so far, only on chapter 1-6 or 1-7, but it's good. GameCube one was great too.

[Ninja Killer]

ive played Geneology of War. its one of my favorites. Ive also played Thracia 776 the one focusing on Leaf. i had Path of Radiance but traded it in. now im looking for it again but cant find it anywhere. i wanted to get it again since im trying to get a wii and get Radiant Dawn. its looks so sweet

[Lord Pyre]

I just got Radiant Dawn for Christmas, giving me no time to replay PoR, but I'm not complaining... :wink:

Micaiah kinda sucks, Sothe is pretty cool, and I'm waiting for Ike. I'm surprised at how hard these first couple of levels are compared to other recent FE games. They seem a lot like the old near-impossible-to-beat games. Hehe.....

(I've only just started, so.....)

[Lichspawn9]

Here is a series of videos that depict someone playing through Radiant Dawn. http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=omegaevolution

[Lord Pyre]

Sorry, I don't like spoilers...

[dragonfire]

I just started part 4. You choose your teams? WTF? Its confusing. The story just went from good to amazing.

[Was Abi]

I just reunited w/ Jill, Tauroneo, and Zihark. If you haven't yet you very soon will. I am disapionted about the apparent lack of support conversations. They were my favorite part of Fire Emblem.

*Gasp* You can save at any point in the battle, attack, die hit reset and try again. No more restarting levels! I can't decide if this feture is good or bad. It takes some challange out but stops you from being stuck on one level forever. :ninja:

[Was Abi]

Please, no spoilers Dragonfire :ninja:

Sounds like quite the predicament.
Anyway, i'm still waiting for a UK release date to be announced!!! :x
I think Radiant dawn is meant to be coming out in France in March so hopefully we'll get the same sort of date over here. I so want this game!

Import ye Limey Fool! :D


Get it now! I just beat 4-prologue. 4-1 here I come!

[GeckoLover]

Black Knight equals intense Pwnage regardless of foe.

-GL

[dragonfire]

Im almost done! Two more chapters! Its getting intense!

[Pattar007]

The game sounds really good. My friend into it. She really likes using one of the marksman. His name is Shinon I think. I'm not sure.

[Lord Pyre]

Shinon's pretty cool, though I don't usually use archers.

I'm on the last level of the first section, so...... Hehehe.....

[dragonfire]

Finish up! We need to talk spoilers!

[Lord Pyre]

I'm working on it. Real life has been getting in the way. :P

[Was Abi]

I had to send my copy back to Nintendo to get a glich fixed :cry: . I couldn't upload my Path of Radience data. :cry: Appatently if you beat the game on easy mode, EVEN ONCE, the data won't upload and the system freezes. I now have to wait for two whole weeks before I can play Radient Dawn ALL BECAUSE MY LITTLE SISTER WANTED TO PLAY!

Sorry, I've calmed down now. I guess I have to leave this forum for a while so you guys can start talking Spoilers. or just post Spoilers at the top of your posts. Then I can just skip those until I catch up. :D :ninja:

[Lord Pyre]

I played on easy, and it worked just fine. I dunno what's the matter...

[dragonfire]

Did you buy the first batch? Just dont use the file transer. It doesnt do anything anyway! It just gives plus 2 stats to all maxed out stats on a level 20 character.

[Lord Pyre]

The first batch of Radiant Dawn? I'm not sure; I got it for Christmas. I've already transfered everything, and it hasn't broken, so I must've got lucky.

Was the glitch only with the first batch, or something?

[Was Abi]

I think it might be just the first batch. The lady from Nintendo support said a lot of people called in with the glitch. I already sent it though, so I can't just not use the file transfer. :ninja:

[dragonfire]

heres my question. Who here likes Miciaha? She is so weak.

[Lord Pyre]

As a character she's pretty cool, but as a unit in the game she's not that good. Too slow..... Reminds me of Knoll from Sacred Stones. A really cool character, but not that great as a unit...

[dragonfire]

I agree with that 100%. Also, she never kills anyone. I had her level 20/20/20 and she was only doing 25 damage to people with much more health than that. It was frustrating not being able to kill with your leader, who is supposed to be your rock, your most trusted unit. Like Ike. Or Elincia in her missions.

[Lord Pyre]

Where I'm at, she's doing some pretty decent damage, but she's got a speed of about 10, to an enemy axefighter's 16. Not good....

[Was Abi]

I got my copy back, repaired and ready to go, but I guess you guys didn't decide to talk spoilers after all. I think Miciaha is kind of weak... but I like to use weak charactors and make them stong. Ex: I made a 20/20 Matthew and Florina and then used Florina with her 2 sisters for the triangle formation attack.
By the way... Can you do the Triangle formation attack on Radient Dawn or Path of Radience with any of the charactors??? I think that was a fun trick, that, and the secret mine glitch. Ahhhh, The Good Ol' Days! :ninja:

[Lord Pyre]

In Path of Radiance, you could do the triangle attack with the three brothers, (Boyd, Rolf, Oscar) If you gave them all bows. I don't know about Radiant Dawn, as Boyd can't use bows anymore...


Oh, and I'm at the end of part 3, so we can talk spoilers, soon. :)

[Ninja Killer]

i had my friend let me borrow his wii for a while so i rented it for 10 days and i made to the final chapter and had to take it back. but hey miciah is really all that bad. i agree she never gets that powerful and she cant dodge very often so thats gets very annoying, but all around shes and ok character. Ike's my favorite to use though.

[Jandars_Hope]

Finally! This game came out over here on Friday and i've played the first few chapters. I have to say that all the characters (except for Sothe) are pretty weak. It's taken me quite some time just to get past the first couple of chapter! :lol:

[Squitter The Spider]

Fire Emblem 8 sucked badly, but I liked 7 until the end. Never played any other ones except PoR and didn't really like it.

[Jandars_Hope]

PoR was my first ever Fire Emblem game and I loved it! I recommended it to a friend who was slightly hesitant because it was the first 3D FE game, and he was used to the gameboy games, but when he played it he loved it, too!

[Lord Pyre]

Radiant Dawn is my favorite, but the only one I didn't like was FE2: Gaiden.

[dragonfire]

PoR was my first ever Fire Emblem game and I loved it! I recommended it to a friend who was slightly hesitant because it was the first 3D FE game, and he was used to the gameboy games, but when he played it he loved it, too!

Same here. Funny thing is that I played it at a friends and didnt really like it. But then I got it and did. Ive played 8, 9, and 10. I dont have a favorite, but like them all a lot.

[moorific]

Just picked RD up last month, and finally beat it. I absolutely LOVED this game, every aspect about it was awesome, except for a few things.

For starters, why does everybody on Macaiah's team, (besides Sothe, seeing as he's already 2nd tier) seem to have ridiculously low stats, yet when the GM arrive they're all uber-powerful? And I thought it was a good idea that they nerfed the Laguz, but I think they were a bit too drastic, seeing as now I can't keep a Laguz in the frontlines, without worrying their shift meter will deplete from enemy fire and be killed on their first untransformed blow.

Just my opinions, and did anyone else find that Meg and Fiona were worthless beyond reason?

[Bloody the Marro Stinger]

GM? What? I know the plot of the game, but apparently you are using some abbreviation I'm not familiar with...
I haven't beaten it yet, as I've only just started playing it, but Miciaha's team sucks horribly - good thing I'm about to beat Part 1 (it should also be noted I know who all the units are). Miciaha herself isn't a very good unit, Leonardo is inferior to Shinon, Meg starts at level 3, far too low to even consider raising her, Laura is horribly outclassed by Elincia, Fiona is just bad, Tauroneo has little time to get to 0/20/15 for the final chapter due to only being avalible for only 6 chapters before the final compared to how many Grom and Batrie are avalible, Volug is just an outright waste of exp because his growths are terrible, Tormod, Muarim, and Vika are only avalible for 5 chapters, making it downright impossible to level them up, Sothe can't kill anything on Maniac/Hard (depending on which version you're playing - Japanese Maniac is the same as American Hard) in the endgame in one hit, Rafiel gets outclassed by Reyson, and the Black Knight is a noob detector, making the amount of units in Miciaha's party you can bring to the endgame limited to about 2-3, and one of those should be Sothe since you're forced to take him. I'll be so happy when I get Harr and am able to destroy absolutely everything.

[moorific]

Sorry, I meant the Greil Mercenaries, and I agree about literally everything you said, except bringing 2-3 of Macaiah's units to the endgame, all I brought was her and Sothe. :D

[viperhoops10]

Does anyone here play Fire Emblem by Web (FEBW). You play against other players and get to make your own team, it's pretty fun but doesn't get updated like AWBW does.

You can find it here http://awbw.amarriner.com/febw/

[oracle92]

Chill. I agree we need more Fire Emblem fans.
:unsure:
Uhh... hi?

Yeah I've played both the GBA games; loved them. Never got the play the console ones though.

[Elf_Archer]

I have beaten Path of Radience

[Was Abi]

You really need to go buy 7. It is definitely my favorite. Ike pales in comparison to Lyn's speed and Hecter's brute strength. :ninja:

Welcome! :D

Who is everyones favorite Lord? Mine is Lady Lyndis (Lyn).:ninja:

[JoutnFAN77]

Wow I'm glad I found this... I was beginning to believe that there wasn't a Fire Emblem thread... I am glad I looked!
My favorite lord Was Abi. Is Eperham, of course I wish I could play the other games. My sis is in college and she has the only gamecube in the family...

[Jandars_Hope]

One of the FE games is getting remade for the DS. I think it might have been a Japanese only release way back when but now it's getting a revamp. I'm ashamed to say I haven't had much time to play Radiant Dawn, but i've got a week of free time now so I hope to get back into it.

[Was Abi]

I've been pretty busy myself (being a junior in highschool) I'm on endgame of part three but haven't been able to play since school started. :|:ninja:

[Jandars_Hope]

Yes! I've finally got back into Radiant Dawn - spending the past 4-5 hours playing it. I kept having to restart because a few of my players were getting killed off. Thank goodness for the Battle Save option.

[Was Abi]

Thank goodness for the Battle Save option.
Amen!
I'm finally on Part 4 and it's pretty awesome. Talk about a plot twist! :twisted: It took me forever to get my armies split how I wanted them... but I guess I won't say any more. I don't want to ruin any surprises for people who haven't gotten that far yet. ;):ninja:

[Jandars_Hope]

I think i'm at part 1, chapter 8 - trying to save some prisoners in a swamp.

[Einar Gen.]

I've only played the GBA versions, but they rocked. Definitely some of my favorites.

No. 1 :Favorite Lord: Hector
Troops: Guy, Sain, Oswin, Jaffar.

No. 2 :Lord: Ephraim
Troops: Seth, Ross, Ewan, Gilliam.

I'v played trough both countless times, but right now i'm replaying S.S., and Ross is a warrior who's so Powerful that he defeats any soldier in 1 hit, and mosts bosses in 1 or 2 hits. Sain is always my most powerful in No.1, with Oswin, Guy, and Jaffar right behind him. Sain often destroys the Dragon by himself.

[Lord Pyre]

Radiant Dawn is an AMAZING game.

One of my all time favorites. FE is my favorite series, easily.

Though Mother's pretty close... :ponder:

[Jandars_Hope]

I totally agree.

[killercactus]

I'm an old Shining Force veteran, so I thought I would love Fire Emblem. But man....... it's hard! You can't let one character die?!?! Really?!! This is freakin war man!

[Was Abi]

I just missed the gamegear but with FE you can let a character die you just can't let the main Lords die. Unless you just meant when someone dies you lose them forever, in that case, ya, it's like war. Which FE have you played? ;):ninja:

I have the new game for Wii (I can't remember it's name), but I'm only about 9 or 10 battles in. I have like 10 characters, and if any one of them dies, I'm done.

At the beginning it's like that, because if everyone but Miciah dies, you've got a serious problem.


That changes later in the game. But I wouldn't suggest starting out the series on Radiant Dawn, since it's one of the hardest. Try picking up Sacred Stones, for Game Boy Advance. It's the easiest, I think, and still a great game.

I guess I'm just used to Shining Force, where I can just go to the town after the battle and have my characters resurrected by the priest (or Peter, who just resurrects himself). It's time for me to come into the real world, baby! When someone dies, they're dead. And it's not just a serious problem - you are starting the entire battle over again, even if there was one enemy left and you have your whole team. Deal with it!

I learned to use Sothe and the big dude with the axe kinda like Deathreavers - clogging up choke points and tying up the enemy, since they can take some punishment and not die. I'm doing OK with it, I just haven't played it in a while after I got to the end of the battle where you get Laura (i think), and she died when there was like, 2 guys left. Not to mention I hadn't saved it in the middle of the battle, so I have to start over now.... I was like, "screw that, I'm playing Mario Galaxy, where I can get a million lives very easily."

[Lord Pyre]

Perhaps you should play Path of Radiance before you finish that. It's a bit easier (Though not as easy as Sacred Stones), and RD is actually the sequel to this one, so you'll meet up with the older characters.


But seriously, RD is a bad one to start on. :p

I don't have a GBA though :(, I just have a Wii, PS2 and SNES that's really old. I'll see what I can do about that, though.

[Lord Pyre]

Path of Radiance is for Gamecube. It's the game with Ike.

[Bloody the Marro Stinger]

Actually, Radiant Dawn is considered one of the easier Fire Emblems if we include the Japanese ones. If we don't, then well... yeah, I'd say it's hard compared to the other ones we have.

[moorific]

I thoroughly enjoyed Hard Mode in RD. They got rid of the broken Battle Saves, no weapon triangle (thank God), and it really stood out which characters were actually good. I did an all female playthrough on Normal (plus Ike) and it was ridiculous how powerful arguably the worst three characters in the game turned out, Meg, Fiona, and Astrid.

[Jandars_Hope]

Meg and Fiona? I can't recall who they were. Lol. Astrid wasn't too bad...kinda.

[Was Abi]

I'm still on my first time through so I'm using the stronger characters but when I'm done I plan on using "weaker" characters and making them strong (like my legendary 20/20 Matthew who killed everything and my 20/20 Florina who kept dieing!). If you noticed, Meg is the RD version of Amelia from SS. She starts out extremely weak but dominates with time. ;):ninja:

[moorific]

Too bad Meg's only skill that surpasses the uber Gatrie's is speed.:roll:

And Fiona you get if she survives 1-4 part 2. Shes the Lance knight that saves the prisoners Begnion was going to kill for no reason.

[Jandars_Hope]

Oh, I know who Meg and Fiona are now. Yup, not been using them much in RD.

[JoutnFAN77]

I want to know if I should upgrade Artur or Natasha first.

[Jandars_Hope]

Did anyone else have a tough time with the 'Black Knight and Macaiah ONLY' chapter in RD? It's not that easy when you can't see any of your opponents until they're within attacking range.

[Bloody the Marro Stinger]

I didn't. I haven't played past the last chapter in Macaiah's part (got bored... shame on me), but that wasn't hard at all. If you leave Macaiah in the place she starts out on and the Black Knight directly in front of her, only the two-range guys can hit her, and with a Thani she can kill those easily. I actually got her to twenty via that level from 17.

[Jandars_Hope]

Seriously?! Everytime she got attacked it was by some guy who double attacked her causing her to...well, die. and my Micaiah was at level 17 too. Odd.

[Bloody the Marro Stinger]

That's odd. Either my Macaiah has an abnormally high speed, or you're unlucky. In any case, though, I only got double attacked once, and I had the Black Knight take care of that fool.

[Was Abi]

:tumble:
I want to know if I should upgrade Artur or Natasha first.
. . . ,

neither. . .,

Unless you pair Artur with Lute or Natasha with Joshua. IMHO;):ninja:

[JoutnFAN77]

Ahhh thanks Was Abi

[Was Abi]

No problem. Sorry it took so long for someone to answer your question.;):ninja:

[JoutnFAN77]

Eh. It is ok. I Juse leveled up Artur and Lute at the same time

[Lord Pyre]

Eh. It is ok. I Juse leveled up Artur and Lute at the same time

In my opinion, L'Arachel is the best magic user. If you make her a Valkyrie, she can dodge almost any attack. She always seems to end up with more powerful magic, also.

[JoutnFAN77]

Early in the game though

[ragingphoenix]

Sothe,edward and zihark ARE AWESOME
(radiant dawn) i love fire emblem:)

[Was Abi]

Another Fire Emblem Fan! Yay!
Have you played the GBA or DS versions? I believe the first American Fire Emblem (Fire Emblem GBA) was the best in the series.

[Xn F M]

I've got a question for you guys. My brother and I have beaten Radiant Dawn a couple times, but there's still one open space left on the big character map (It's one the bottom row about two-thirds of the way to the right side). Does anyone know what you have to do to get that filled in?
