  1. The first arc of Berserk.

    I think most manga fans have heard of this series at least once. Yeah, that series does have the fundemental values that Fire Emblem is all about. I've watched the anime. Read the manga. And caught up with everything. It just frustrating that the mangaka may not be able to complete the story.

    Off the top of my head, Kingdom and Ravages of Time share some elements; both are "war epics" with a heavy focus on strategy / tactics.

    Ravages is basically Romance of the Three Kingdoms from an alternate perspective, so has like a million characters many of whom you won't care about (just like FE!) but lots of them are super cool.

    Kingdom is probably more accessible and places more emphasis on individual warriors, but less cool overall (still good, but). It's hard to compare to the strategists in Ravages.

    Neither of them really have people building an army from the ground up though, and don't have a whole lot of emphasis on individual fighters beyond the protagonist(s). So not really like FE in that regard.

    I've read Kingdom. In fact, I've caught up with the manga and anime.

    As for Ravages of Time, I've heard of it, I just never went into it. I will when I get the motivation.

    Thanks for the reccomendations. If you got more, please feel free to post them.

    I'd say Ubel Blatt, but I warn you that it is 18+. The plot is still great, though, so I highly recommend and encourage people to read it until Chapter 3, at least.

    Akame ga Kill has the same "anyone can die" feel, but it's more about rebels x imperials. If anything, it is more similar to Yggdra Union... which is similar to Fire Emblem, so it's fine.

    I heard the hype of Akame ga Kill. And from that hype it seems to me that it's mainly focused on horror? I'll check it out ASAP because the hype is overwhelming.

    As for Ubel Blat, I've heard of that one a long time ago. Just never took interest. But if it really resembles Fire Emblem is some aspects, then I'll try to give it a shot. I appeciate the reccomendations.

    I know only a hentai..

    and Akame ga kill (but it has some gore)

    some other that just looks just a small abit alike would be No Game No Life , Upcoming Kantai Collection and Code Geass (thats all i think)

    I have a game to recommend too but you only asked Manga/Anime so thats all.

    Hentai is the best when it has plot. So if you know some hentai titles that resembles Fire Emblem, please don't be shy to list them.

    As for No Game No Life, I tried reading the manga, but it didn't catch my interest at first. But when I watched the anime, HOLY GLORIOUS! I WAS HOOKED! To me, the anime is better than the manga.

    And yeah, this series does resemble some aspects of Fire Emblem allot.

    Kantai Collection...never heard of the series. I'll check it out.

    And as for Code Geass, I've didn't read the manga. I've skimmed through the anime. I'll go back to watch the anime again when I get the interest. I mainly heard of the series because people kept saying the main character wanted world domination & justice, but became the enemy of his little sister due to some wierd strategy misconceptions...wierd. It's interesting just typing about it. I'll give it another go.

    I would say Record of Lodoss war and in some ways Escaflowne and Record of a fallen vampire.

    Both of these series look interesting. Thanks for the recommendations. Never heard of them, so I'll try them out in the future. Thanks for all the suggestions. If anyone has anything else that they seem resembling Fire Emblem, please let me know. Thanks.

  2. Anyone know any anime a manga that resemble Fire Emblem? Whether it be wars, magic, creatures, dragons, pegasus, weapons, characters, status, circumstances, tactics, etc.

    The only one that I know that bears a striking resemblance is an anime called:

    Madan no Ou to Vanadis (The King of the Magic Bullet and Vanadis)

    I have also read and watched all the Fire Emblem manga and anime available on the internet.

    If anyone, regardless if its only a tiny bit similar, I would love to know more.

    Thanks for reading.

  3. Wow, this is the only fire emblem game that has a black person, and the crazy part is that it's fan-made.

    In the next updates, try creating more black characters. I voted for Obama, so I'm going to play this game.

    Jokes aside, this is a very awesome hack. Thanks.

  4. can someone give me the latest patch of this game? I can't find it.

    The link in the front post is dead.

    Can someone pm a pre-patched rom - upload it to mediafire.

    Please re-upload the patch that Superluigi genius made for us to enjoy.

    But I wonder, did Superluigi finish the patch for the game?

  5. What does Fire Emblem mean to you?

    - Is it just a game to you?, somthing spiritual?, something to read or understand?, etc.

    In the beginning, I though Fire Emblem was litterally an Emblem of Fire. But now I see it as a story of adventure and mystery.

    Evil Problems being taken care of by Good People. People who would need to achieve greater strenght.

    So, what does it mean to you?

    It could be anything.

  6. WAIT...They Released it in English Already???

    I never knew that...wow...I feel stupidnekocrazy.gif...lol...

    Thanks for the heads-up Vincent!!!!

    So...damn..forget it..I can't ask for the R _ _....if you know what I mean...

    can someone pm me it....

  8. Alright. Good and bad news.

    The bad news: I still don't have the end of Volume 10 (I'll try contacting Minaya) soon, so there won't be any releases until that happens.

    The good news: Aquantis has scanned Volume 11, so I'll probably start working on translating that in one or two weeks.

    That's it.

    Awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I was wondering why the waiting was beyond belief...

    Well, Thanks to Aquantis, the translation could be bearable for a short period of time.

  9. I wouldn't want say Lyn, but I just feel that they should have gotten her a "Special Pegasus" as a bargain with her promotion...

    Then she would have been the only Falcon that shot arrows, and unaffected towards them.

    So I would say Lyn...cause they should have improved her fighting abilities...

  10. There were some remarks on what I wrote. Merely on how long, deep, or how one thinks of Fire Emblem. And there was one comment about me saying I should post more often.

    My remark - I’m quite pleased. (Seriously, I was blushing pretty hard when I read those comments.)

    Anyways, back to the subject matter.

    There was one remark on dark magic that I was quite impressed. I mean, it was quite obvious, but I was glad it was bought up.

    It can mostly be assumed that dark magic is not controlled by spirits, but possibly by the user's spirit.

    ------------------

    Also, it is worth noting that Canas calls dark magic not "dark" but ancient. So it may not be pure evil like many people think.

    You are right about Canas calling “Ancient Arts”

    I believe that there are two categories when one talks about Dark/Ancient Arts.

    I mean, let us cut to the chase...All magic that do not have any unity from God are forbidden or is not supposed to be known to the humans.

    For that reason alone, it can be suggested that Dark arts are like steroids – corrupts the soul; even if it be a little, it has caused damage. That ‘damage’ is not supposed to occur, if you have lived the sacred life you creator has forged for you to live.

    So in essence, human knowledge, usage, or activities relating to Dark arts is a sin which is why it erodes the user’s soul.

    It is safe to assume that if a person first learns Anima (natural magic; water, earth, fire, air) and if one learns Light Magic (magic that correlates with God’s power) you would be much safer to then learn Dark Arts – if you so desire.

    I have simply indicated to the fact that Athos (an Archsage) has lived a life of prosperity and good fortune, for he has done things within the law of magic – he understood the limits of the soul. He had knowledge from the dragons to help him achieve greater things – to help preserve his soul and flesh. Most importantly, I believe that he knew “ENOUGH” of the truth to correlate with the Dark Shady arts.

    There are no real leads on to how light magic works, but it is very effective against monsters and does not affect the user in any way. My guess is that light magic's power comes from the ruling deity of each continent. This would explain why monks, and bishops can use it (they are holy men/women). This brings up the idea that monsters (FE8) are actually dark magic incarnate, because light magic is effective against dark magic as well.

    I adore this theory! Light Magic is, of course, from the holy ones. The pure secrets of the unknown – God’s string of power!

    When you say that Radiant magic comes from a ruling divinity of a continent, it makes me unsure on what you are trying to say. I understand your thinking, for it is not entirely wrong.

    The ruling deity is where it was born from – where the knowledge of light began to be understood clearer by “All People.” I believe that all men/women were meant to know the knowledge of light magic in today’s world, but lack it because of problem with knowing God or doing sinful things. So in termination, even if we did acquire the knowledge of light magic, we would have to pure in heart at least 60%. (Ok, now I’m getting too crazy…lol)

    For this reason alone, not all can use the power of light magic.

    And finally, it can be assumed that magic is usually passed on from person to person, master to apprentice. Just about every magic user in FE has some kind of teacher (Ewan-Saleh, Erk-Pent, etc.). And how powerful you can get is determined at birth. So only certain people can become effective mages. Thus, people sign pacts with spirits for more power.

    Yes! This is what I pointed out in my intro post – That Magic is taught or learned through the knowledge of seeing those who do it, use it, or chant words of it.

    That would explain how Nino (a precocious 14 year old mage who worked for the Black-Fang in return for Sonia’s, her step-mother/Nergal’s Morph, love or affection.) gained the knowledge as well as the power of natural magic. Here is conversation she had with Erk:

    A support Conversation with Erk & Nino! Click and read what it says.

    The Link Source: http://www.serenesforest.net/fe7/support/063.html

    After reading this conversation, I just had a craving of wanting to take a shower for some reason; I was overwhelmed. I….I just want to know the truth – I REALLY WANTED TO KNOW MAGIC!!!!

    Seriously, I wish a book, like what Erk mentioned, was somewhere hidden in my house basement so I could find it and use it for awesome purposes; of course, not for Nergal’s purposes.

    After Nergal searched for more quintessence, I began to suspect that this is in fact the power of the mages. He explains that different people have different amounts of quintessence. This would explain why mages can only get so much power: they only have so much quintessence. And when Nergal absorbed more quintessence, he gained more magical power.

    This theory seems to be correct. But you are wrong in some cases. The knowledge of Quintessence is knowledge for both Anima/Dark users.

    Users of the light do not need that knowledge, for there are only concerned with there relationship with God or a divine source – The more Faith or belief they have in that source, the more power they will acquire, as well as the how much experience they have in using there powers makes or allows them to grow in spiritual power. In conclusion, they could do what Mages and Shamans do without having to rely on another source of magic as long as they follow the rules or path of their divine source.

    The technique Nergal is using compared to the light users (Bishops, ArchSages, etc.) is basically a steroid-ious method in gaining his own spiritual power.

    Nergal must have studied somewhere (maybe in some magic book) that Light magic can only give maximum of ‘this & that’ power. But Nergal wanted more power so that he could control the world. He wanted power to a great extent that he would give up his tensions towards love and friendship. When he did this, he has found out that his use in divine power has lessoned dramatically that he would have to depend on Dark Arts to increase his essence, his quintessence, his fundamental nature, his spirit, his core!

    He wanted more power BEYOND Compare! That is why he was happy to show Athos the power he has gained when he met them to steal, kidnap (or Dragon-nap) Ninian. I forgot the chapter it was. But I do know it was in either “Hector Mode” or “Eliwood Mode.”

    But truth be told, I don’t think Nergal read enough of Dark arts (or at least to know what would happen if he were to pull off such a thing he has done). But then again, I don’t think a writer would know unless they have done what Nergal has done and human hearted enough to write a book about his observations so that students of dark arts would understand more of the fundamentals of Dark Arts.

    I just wish to know the secrets behind Athos’s immortality. Even after he died, we later found out in the Manga called “Fire Emblem – The Champion’s Sword” (dedicated to the “Sealed Sword” game) that Athos somehow attached himself to the world of the living in order to protect the Dragon Village to some degree. That is when Al spiritually came in his sacred shrine and talked with him; allowing him to obtain a dragon stone as well as more power for Al to use to accomplish the goals.

    Reasonably, I suppose I’ve typed an adequate amount in this post.

    But please, I want to know other people's concerns on this.

    Like I said earlier, if you disagree with me, please say why.

    I want to know your ideas on this.

  11. Have you ever wanted to know how Fire Emblem got their ideas about magic? I mean, it is quite obvious where they got these ideas. But I want to know the philosophy behind these ideas.

    Lets talk about the Magic in Fire Emblem. The Game of Fire Emblem that I've felt the best was "Blazing Sword" and it's counter-part "Sealed Sword."

    The Story, it's plot, the weapns, the magic and the people. Everything about Fire Emblem made me want to know more about the unknown - the truth. I wanted to learn the idealistic teachings behind the Magic Users (Mages, Sages, Monks, Clerics, Bishops, Troubadours, Valkyries, Shaman, Druid, Magic Seal, Bramimond, etc.)

    I wanted to know how the Sages and Valkyries passed down their teachings to the Mages and Troubadours. How the Shamans and Druids acquire their knowledge of truth from books of study and use them or apply them for magical purposes. I want to know where Monks, Clerics, and Bishops are able to acquire such items (like a staff or wand). It is quite abvious how they draw their powers. I just want to know how this knowledge was gained. How where they able to preserve such books and buy copies of them from a local store residence?

    In a Fire Emblem World, magic users are seen as commoners - Knowlege users or Scholars to be exact. That is why you would see Sage Pent and his lovely wife, Louise, as adorned people where they ruled. It seems Sage Pent had control over some pegasi army groups in Ilia.

    Why is it that when one uses dark magic, even with good intentions their fate seems to uncertain death? We look at Canas.

    Here is a quote from my game:

    Canas - Seeker of Wisdom

    Canas returned to his family in Ilia.

    Some years later, he and his wife died trying to stop a snowstorm.

    His child was raised by his old mother.

    It was quite fortunate that we were only in control of one Dark Arts User. For if we were to have more and see their fates we could better understand the nature of Dark Arts and the Fate of the users who use the arts.

    Now I know this may seem out of nowhere, but have you wondered about how Hawkeye (Desert Guardian) was able to have a dragon for a daugther? I know he must have mated with a full blood dragon female. But I just wonder "how". I often guess that the dragon was in human form when they mated. Since we were able to know that Nils and Ninian are originally Ice Dragons in human forms.

    If any of you read the Christian Bible (Old Testament) or the Jewish Bible, you would understand the story once told in the book of Genesis. I forgot the verse. But I do remember the storical idea. The story was about Earth Angels, who were assigned to watch the Earth without interfering with the humans. I believe they were able to help them at solve some issues at some point, but that was it. The Angels were doing their jobs, but the Angels began to take sight on the daughters of men were attractive; and they took wives for themselves, whomever they choose...

    It never said anything about female angels going after the male men, although this was also likely to happen.

    The Nephilim (fallen angels) were on the earth in those days, and also afterwards, when the sons of God came in to the daughters of men, and they bore children to them; these were the ancient heroes, men of renown. I would often ask myself, how can one believe that angels from Heaven could engage in sexual relations with women from Earth? In the bible it is said that the union of Angels and Humans bore giant children. These children were said to look hideous, ugly, and unatural. Yet, the Angels would teach the wisdom they knew, including Magic. It was finally realized that when these children could die (because of their human flesh).

    To understand what I talking about, you would have to understand teh philosophy of Angels. Angels never die. They were created to live for eternity. Their souls are never to be tranformed life human souls because they are already complete.

    So when these Giant children died, their souls would transform because their souls weren't designed to to leave their bodies. This was an unbearable pain that they bore. This continued until they became dark demons infested or corressponding with the dark arts.

    This was how Nergel was able to bring life into the a doll or what was called a "Morph". These naked scarred souls were finally happy to find an empty vessel again - to live with sincere freedom and without pain. When demons heard about this, they decided to help Nergel reach full potential in Dark Arts and he wouldn't be possest or being controlled by any dark spirit. But his price was to lose the heart of love and friendship. Although his goals seemed clearer, his mind seemed much curropt (for he was created - as a human being - to manipulate souls or become what he has became.)

    Before I read Genesis - before I played Fire Emblem, I always thought that spiritual beings can never have physical engagement with human beings. I was completely shallow in my opinion. The God, the Highest of all spiritual being, become flesh and trod on earth. Did he not become human enough so others could see, smell, feel and touch him?

    If Paul the human apostle of Jesus Christ was able to leave prison and stepped out through the prison walls, without anybody seeing him actually leave, then I believe it is not hard at all for angels to do the opposite.

    This came to my conclusion that if the dragon girl didn't have a dragon stone, she would have currupted her flesh and she would been like the Giant Children.

    But after all, maybe we didn't understand the scriptures. Maybe the scritputers itself was in poor description in itself. I will write more if people want me to.

    But please, I want to know other people's concerns on this.

    If you disagree with me, please say why.

    I want to know your ideas on this.

  12. For me the last time I played (which was 2 years ago)

    Lyn was Level 12 (normal fighting & boss abuse) she was normally on level 9 but I boss abused her 3 more times.

    Matthew was level 17 (boss abuse)

    Florina was Level 20 (boss abuse)

    Sain was level 14 (boss abuse)

    Kent was level 15 (boss abuse)

    Wil (the archer) was level 7 (normal fighting)

    Dorcas was level 8 (normal fighting)

    Wallace was on level 5 (boss abuse) this was tough.

    The nomad guy from the Katulah clan (forgot his name) was never leveled up. I never used him at all. (planing to use him in the Eliwood & Hector story.)
