I was curious to see some opinions of fire emblem 5. I never liked it due to the fact that some characters were almost unusable, and for me, the game is just boring. No character except for the main characters had any characterization, the map design was bad, (in my opinion) and the game was really unbalanced. I liked the crusader scrolls, and this game gets some credit for adding fog of war, but that's all I liked. So why do you like or dislike this game?

Overused jokes aside, I'm somehow having a lot of trouble deciding whom to give this shield ring to. This is my second attempt at beating thracia, and I'm in chapter 8. I plan to just complete the game at this point, and I'm dead set on making Lara the best she can be (Because I'm a sucker). I know the sheild ring would be a waste on her, so aside from the ton of mounted units you get, who would be a good choice to give the first shield ring to? Leaf and Fergus are already overleveled, and I'm almost ready to promote Asvel. Dahlshin is dead and My Axe fighters (Othin and Havan) suck. Any other advice concerning certain stat boosters I'm yet to obtain? Here's my Current Leaf: https://gyazo.com/75f54ddadf65081e349ac0faab958500

Hey everyone! As much as I hate to, I'm selling my home consoles and games as I prepare for an apartment and a lifestyle of moving between two countries fairly often. I'm able to keep my handhelds just fine, but my consoles would be too much of a pain to move and use in the PAL region (as mine are NTSC). So! You guys luck out, because I have the following FE games for sale: Fire Emblem (Famicom) Gaiden (Famicom, has okay box & manual) Gaiden (English reproduction cart that works on NA NES) Mystery of the Emblem (Super Famicom, back plate is very yellow) Mystery of the Emblem (English reproduction cart that works on NA SNES) Genealogy (Complete in box, with manual and bloodline chart, very nice) Thracia 776 (Super Famicom, complete in box. Manual and cart are very nice, while box is decent) Thracia 776 (English reproduction cart that works on NA SNES; translation is iffy but playable. OK condition) Path of Radiance (Gamecube, complete in box - disc is great) Sold! Radiant Dawn (Wii, complete in box - disc is good but has been resurfaced, plays great) You'll notice that I haven't listed prices - I know that these games (especially the last two) can be quite pricey. I know what everything is worth, but I will listen to any and all offers as long as it is decent. It would make me much happier to see them go to a loving FE home, than have to sell them on E-bay. I don't have to pay E-bay fees if I sell them on Serenes, which I definitely have in mind. Although not FE, I also have for sale: NES console with all the works (has great pins and two controllers) Legend of Zelda (Gold cart) Zelda II (gray cart, has manual) City Connection Kid Icarus Little Nemo the Dream Master Crystalis SNES Console with all the works (clean pins and one controller) Earthbound A Link to the Past (has manual) sold! Terranigma reproduction cart (in great shape, has a custom cardboard box, plays on NTSC) Dracula XX (Super Famicom, compete in box - game and manual are very very nice, box is pretty good) White Wii Console with all the works (Has gamecube ports, black wiimotion plus wiimote with nunchuck) Okami (disc is in great shape) I also have a first print Game Boy Pocket, that doesn't have a battery light (first prints didn't have them) but is in great shape and works great! Also for sale is a Roy amiibo - I have an extra that's still in the package PLEASE NOTE: Most of the NES/SNES games come with universal game cases with custom covers. Just ask! They were owned with a collector's mindset and are in great shape unless otherwise noted. When you inquire, I would be happy to give a description and give photos. Again, just ask! Thanks for looking guys! It breaks my heart to sell any of it, but it's something that works best for me right now and I really want to see it go to a good home. I'll listen to any offers, and I also love Cipher cards! ;p (speaking of cipher cards, I have a pretty good reputation for trades and things there, and I take customer satisfaction very seriously)

While I procrastinate working on and recording defense chapters in my active playthroughs, I decided to figure out how to effectively RNG abuse in yet another Fire Emblem game... and this was the result: No plans to pursue this any further at the moment (since I've never played this game before, and I have other playthroughs that are higher on my priority list), but thought you guys might enjoy. EDIT: Sorry, there is a recording issue at the moment that will get fixed in like 2 minutes when I change the link. Fixed!

In the page here on Thracia 776's unused classes, Dragon Master (M, D), meaning male and dismounted, is listed as having access to Lances and Swords. However, when I hack the Dismounted Dragon Master class into the game with action replay, it can only use Swords. Is there something I'm missing here, or is this an error? I will say Male Dismounted Dragon Lords being able to use Lances is similar to Raffin in Kaga's next game, Tear Ring Saga. On a related subject, was no one being able to uses Lance indoors in Thracia 776 an intentional decision? Like did they plan Lance, and Duke Knights to dismount to Swords all along, or was it a time saving measure by making the majority of dismounted classes re-use the same animations? If they did plan Non Sword mounted classes dismounting to Swords, why?

PCC or Pursuit Critical Coefficient, is a system that was in Thracia 776 and only Thracia 776. In laymans terms on a pursuit attack (second attack) or a counter attack, a characters PCC (which was a hidden value and varied on the character), would times their critical rate by that amount, you can have a PCC of 0-5. Would you like to see it again? Even if it were a FE hack? Not just an official game, which its return is just as likely as the dismount system.

I am not privy of all the plot details in the Geneology saga nor have I played the games, but I have read and love the plot, especially its take on, shall we say, "realism". But one thing that boggles me is how Quan's Lance Ritter managed to stave off the Thracian wyverns for years. They are not even bow knights or anything that can shoot down the wyverns and the Thracians could like just fly over without any problems. Is there any explanation in supplamental materials?

Okay so I have played all fire emblem games excluding the Jugdral saga. The reason being is they are very intimidating as I here they are very punishing to the uninformed. So i guess what I am asking is any tips for a newbie. Im not sure if we are allowed to discuss fan translations but does anybody have a link to one for either game (if we aren't supposed to discuss them just don't mention it.)

I feel at time I'm the only person who absolutely hates all the mechanics Thracia is constantly praised for. I really hate the fatigue system. I just enjoy using characters I like. I personally don't care for having to micro-manage and the challenge of using everyone. I personally just want to use units I like and not be gimped for it. Dismounting is my least favorite mechanic in the entire series. I find it really unnecessary. Yeah, it nerfs mounts in a way, but I really hate the way it sword-locks every single mounted unit. I don't want to carry a ton of excess swords around just for units that are only going to need them for certain chapters! I would be fine with the mechanic if people could use whatever weapon they specialize in, which would make SENSE. I like the idea of capturing. I really do. But I can't stand using it. Mainly because it gimps your accuracy a lot, in a game where accuracy is annoying because of the RNG system. I also don't like that more or less any enemy unit can just wisk away any cleric or I believe, mages, I don't really remember how that works so feel free to correct me on that. I don't know how they'd do it but give a bit more critera before you just kidnap the lightest units in the game. I know it's to punish you for messing up, but kmon. And the times I would enjoy buying weapons I can't really buy much or any, because the only way you get money is really by capturing and selling things, and even when I want to buy something it costs SO MUCH it's not even worth it. Other mechanics I personally dislike are fog of war, it was much better implemented in other games, and even though I hate them in those games at least I can STAND IT. I also hate that there are very few ways to actually recover from status ailments, which is really cheap and stupid in my opinion. Because if you get berserked or put asleep you're pretty much screwed. I'm not trying to start any fights or anything, because I can appreciate them trying new mechanics, but I honestly find that half the mechanics in this make it very irritating and unplayable for me, which is a shame, because I really want to finish it because I love this continent this game takes place in, but I cannot bear to even play it. I really needed to get this off my chest. Am I the only one with this opinion? Probably.

What would you want to see changed, altered etc if anything? Thracia has so many interesting mechanics I was curious to see what people would want. Heck I expect an answer relating to an avatar maybe from a few All I feel the game needs is stronger foes and dismounted units to be able to use their original weapon. Maybe make supports more akin to Fe9 which I felt did the system the best.
