He's acting like a dirty elitist who thinks Awakening and Fates ruined everything like those crappy GameFaqs users no one likes. He blatantly called them "the worst thing to ever happen to Fire Emblem" without considering the feelings of those that like it. I bet he'd pitch a fit if I smack-talked Radiant Dawn. I'd say more, but,
Clearly we need to stop this. At least she understands what I'm getting at. Hmph.
*tisk tisk* Shame you think you just shit on certain games like this and get away with it. Boy, are you in for a very rude awakening in the near future.
Yes. I did. Calling Awakening and Fates, in your words, "everything wrong with Fire Emblem" is a rather extreme thing to say, when I and many others, would not agree with that sentiment in the slightest. Do they have flaws? Yes. Are they the absolute thing to ever happen to the series? Hell no, and I would encourage you to reconsider how you speak about them.
Boy, this thread sure looks like it will end well. /S
Well, if I absolutely had to erase a game from existence, I'd erase either Echoes Shadows of Valentia or The Sacred Stones.
I had this idea of a challenge to you all. Create an older child for Robin and Corrin. Decide which gender they are, their classes, their backstories, and finally their personalities. Parings for Robin and Corrin can be whichever parings you want.
Birthright and Conquest are great games in terms of gameplay and character cast.
Kana is better than Morgan.
Roy, Lyn, Hector, Celica, and Alm are all grabage.
That's all I can think of.
I'm aware of that. Hence the "some" in my question. I just wanted to know why they think the way they do, but so far they've done nothing to make think otherwise.
Well, I looked for a good game in Awakening and Fates, which I got with the former and kind of with the latter. So Awakening and Fates gives you the option to date "waifus". Who cares? I didn't play them because they could let me date "Muh Waifus", I play them because I like them. The whole dating thing is something that just happened to come with it. Also, I think you might making a good amount of assumptions when you say the community as a whole likes the idea of the dating mechanics.
It's true the games are not above any kind of criticism, but I do not understand why some fans of the older games will act like Awakening and Fates killed the series stone dead and it will never be good again.
People like this guy.
I don't understand why some people act like Awakening and Fates are the devil's products and they ruined everything about Fire Emblem. If it weren't for Awakening, this series would be dead alongside the likes of Advance Wars, F-Zero, Earthbound, and Golden Sun, and while Fates's storytelling isn't superb, I think it's gameplay and characters are solid. I understand that everyone is entitled to their own opinions, but were Awakening and Fates really that bad to them?
