Koenig

Thank you all for the welcome.

Splitting and changing what characters you can play as in several chapters is a kind of mechanic, as it affects how you distribute resources and command your troops; likewise the rock-paper-scissor aspect of the game was greatly increased, which made some units nearly ineffective in certain battles. Similarly the addition of dark magic affected the magic triangle. Some of these additions improved the game, but I honestly felt that they could have been balanced and polished much more than they were. By comparison Path of Radiance was far more balanced within its own context and, in my opinion, better for it. It is a case of doing more with less.

I really liked it. It made leveling up low level units so that they could be used normally far easier and made training said units far more approachable. I prefer the version from FE9 over FE10 simply because it did not punish the player for using it.

Radiant dawn may have had more mechanics, but refined they were not. Path of Radiance felt much more polished in comparison.

My favorite of the two would have to be Path of Radiance. The story felt more coherent, the characters more developed, and game play more refined when compared to its sequel. Not to mention Ike was completely over powered which is something I enjoyed messing with.

I would have to say binary code. it is the foundation of computer logic and subsequently so many other things in this world.

Salutations and hello! As you may have guessed, my name is Koenig and I am a Fire Emblem enthusiast. Though I have only played a few of the games in the series (Path of Radiance, Radiant Dawn, and Awakening) I have come to greatly enjoy the characters, writing, story, and strategic game play of the series. I was recommended to this site by a friend of mine (Gregosa) and I look forward to being a productive member of this community.
