Thane Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 (edited) Well, I've got two more or less, so here goes.Blazing Sword: dem dragons, man. That's how you make something look powerful and scary - Grima and Anankos just look funny. Fates: gameplay for the most part, as well as several supports and characters like Takumi.

glaucousdreamer Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 Genealogy of the Holy War - Every map had a different theme which fit the mood well. - The barbecue - Alvis is one of the series' better villains. - The inheritance system was pretty cool. - I love Ayra, Tiltyu, Finn and pretty much the whole second gen <3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moblin Major General Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 Binding Blade -Playable Brigand (I like Pirates/Bandits as playable) -Villains that are antagonistic, but not evil -FE7 closure -Lord's remaining family survives the narrative -Not Roy Emblem -Mounted Emblem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheAstraWolf Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 FE1: The music while repetitive has a charm to it, and so does the rest of the game FE11: The soundtrack is pretty dapper. Clash of Two Virtues gets all of my yes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeadGame Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 The soundtrack in awakening and fates is good to some extent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Etria Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 RD - I loved Part 2 - Geoffrey - Bastian - Elincia's character development It's not my true least favourite, but there are no good things I can say about SD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inference Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 It has a much better story than your second-least favorite, that's for sure. Better dialogue, better soundtrack, and a well-written Lord with a more human character. Ironically enough, neither of them have real support conversations, yet it's always getting brought up as a point against Shadow Dragon when its map conversations provide some of the most amazing characterization in all of the series. Radiant Dawn is kind of a turd all around. Not really surprising that it has just about as many people who despise it as those who love it.

Nobody Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 Least favorite is Radiant Dawn. I like the Dawn Brigade chapters. They offer a nice challenge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robert Stewart Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 I think my least favorite is FE13 but I can't think of anything in particular I like about it that doesn't apply to most other FE games (probably because I've not played it in so long) so instead you get FE12: -The BSFE maps are quite interesting, if not necessarily the best designed. Map 3 is hilarious. -Increased growths means more of the cast is somewhat usable, especially on lower difficulties. -Reclassing is fun -Axe users exist again and can actually promote -I appreciate that they brought in some more characters from FE1/BSFE that weren't in FE3, even if I don't think it was a good idea to bring everyone back. -You cna save between endgame chapters!

Ken Masters Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 (edited) The cutscenes in Awakening. Also I got to see the oh-so-awesome Lady L'arachel back! Fighting to eliminate the filthy, crawling abominations out of this righteous world.

Hakkari Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 Gaiden certainly... exists? In all seriousness it was very ambitious for the time and is still surprisingly playable. I wish that FE would bring back the town exploration as I thought that it gave the world a lot more of a feeling of being lived in, even if it was very minimal (no, Fates' MyCastle and the cut-and-paste dialogue doesn't count for me, even though it's okay). Also I liked Celica a lot and most of the character designs were really cute (and very 80s/90s). Duma as a final boss was actually kind of horrifying looking, which was pretty neat.

Loki Laufeyson Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 Shadow Dragon has Navarre in it. And making those archers who kept failing me repeatedly, into something useful was pretty wiggy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shadow Dragon is the only FE that I could not finish. I was so bored out of my head by chapter 10 or so. I really tried, believe me, but it didn't get better. I even sold it, which is something I very rarely do with videogames. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trying for a no-warp low turn count of Chapter 16 is a headache. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of the most important character archetypes in the series that are still talked about to this day are contained in the latter chapters. It's a pity you can't appreciate the significance of Fire Emblem's very foundation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zerosabers Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 FE7: It has Lyn and Florina as my first lesbian pairing. Other than that the unit balance isn't horrible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The DanMan Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 Awakening: It has Id: Purpose and introduced a "character" that ended up diversifying the series' Smash representation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

epilepsyduck Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 New Mystery of the Emblem is definitely my least favorite (though I wouldn't argue it's strictly the worst, just the one I like the least), but Maris is pretty cool, and I appreciate the updated portraits for characters who really needed it from Shadow Dragon. I also like how the Avatar can have different clothes depending on their starting class (despite how much I hate the game's Avatar), and I sort of wish that had returned in Awakening and Fates.
