Hello! 🙂
I've been browsing the forums periodically since around 2015 or so, but I finally made an account two-ish years ago and now I'm making my first post.
I'm not entirely sure how much I will be active on here, since I'm often introverted and more of a listener/reader than a speaker (coupled with general social anxiety), but I figured I'd make myself post and see if it takes me anywhere. So, hello everyone!
I guess a little about me. I've been playing Fire Emblem since around mid-to-late 2014 or so I would say. When the trailer for Lucina and Robin for Smash 4 was released, I was so curious about what this series was, and upon looking into it I remembered my friends played Shadow Dragon before, so I thought I'd give Fire Emblem a try with Awakening!
I got Awakening, beat it, and it became one of my favorite games ever. Since then, I've played most of the Fire Emblem games! I waited for Fates to come out and played it day one, then beat all the routes. I got Echoes day one and played it. Afterwards I decided to go back and play the older titles and played the Tellius games, which I loved. My favorites to this day, actually! Then, I moved on to the DS titles and didn't enjoy them as much, but still had fun.
After those, I played through FE6 and FE7. I had a blast with FE7 especially, but not as much FE6. I still liked it! ...Just not as much. Then Three Houses came out, which I got and played. After that one I started Sacred Stones, but the save file on my GBA cartridge corrupted around Chapter 14 of the Eirika route and it was so heartbreaking that I haven't picked it back up yet. Maybe next time I'll emulate it so I can make backups.
Anyway, after that I played Genealogy. I loved the story, characters, and music, but the gameplay was a bit exhausting to be honest. Still had fun, but I'm not sure if I'd go back to replaying it anytime soon like I tend to do with other ones. Then Engage came out, which I just finished on Hard/Classic! Engage was honestly really fun, I had a blast. But now I'm on to Thracia, which I'm currently on Chapter 5 and gosh is this game brutal. Really fun! ...but brutal.
Anyway, sorry for the lengthy post, guess I had a lot to say. I tend to ramble sometimes, so I hope it's okay. It's nice meeting you all!
