MissShake Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 (edited) My name is Amber and I'm a new fan of Fire Emblem (came in with Awakening, liked some aspects of Fates and HATED others hahaha). Since I'm new, I actually have a question: I'm currently downloading all of the fan translations on here since I can't buy any new FE games on my college student budget. Which should I play first? I hope to get to know and get along with everyone :D EDIT: I should probably clarify that I want to start with an easier game since I'm still new to the series :) Edited November 4, 2016 by MissShake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yedknowsall Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 My friend, I welcome you to this lush Forest! To most I am Seth, to others Yed. Choose your preference, choose it wisely. If you want to start with an easy game, I'd recommend not playing one that requires a translation. The JP games can be confusing for first timers with the exception of FE6 (Binding Blade). I'd recommend FE8 (Sacred Stones). It's more similar to Awakening and Birthright than any other FE game, featuring a world map like these games. If you prefer Conquest's map design and lack of grinding though, either FE7 (Blazing Sword) or the Tellius series (FE9 and FE10, Path of Radiance and Radiant Dawn) would be good to play. FE8 is definitely the easiest of the western games. FE7 and FE9 aren't too difficult either and shouldn't give you too much trouble. FE10 can be rather difficult on Normal and downright brutal on Hard (not as bad as Awakening and Conquest Lunatic, though), but if you play FE9 first (which you should since FE10 is a direct sequel), it shouldn't be that bad. Also, the translations are not the games themselves. They are a tool to modify the JP version of the game to make it English. You will have to find the games yourself elsewhere. I can't help you unfortunately because discussion of ROMs and such isn't allowed here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ycine Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 Welcome to the Forest, Miss Shake! Just like Yedknowsall said, FE8 is a definitely go if you want to start soflty. After that, your choice. Have a nice day and enjoy your stay! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mega Koopa Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 Welcome, to the forums. The first FE game I'd recommend playing is FE12 on Lunatic the Sacred Stones, it's really easy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marz Posted November 5, 2016 Share Posted November 5, 2016 Heyoo! Welcome to this very beautiful imaginary Forest Amber, I hope you enjoy your time here and have fun. As for your question, like everybody else said Fire Emblem 8 or the Sacred Stones is a very good start for a new player, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpacelessZarius Posted November 5, 2016 Share Posted November 5, 2016 Hello and welcome to the forums, I would recommend starting with FE8 has the grinding capabilities of the more recent games but with the consequences of death still very much lingering over you is a nice ease into what the older titles are like.

Arkanis Trevelyan Posted November 5, 2016 Share Posted November 5, 2016 Hello and welcome to the forest! Just to be a rebel, I would say starting with FE7/Blazing Sword is probably the best idea since it has a built-in tutorial that will tell you about the things that the GBA games have that Awakening and Fates does not. But if not that then Sacred Stones would be the best idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MissShake Posted November 7, 2016 Author Share Posted November 7, 2016 Thanks for all the replies, everyone! I can't wait to talk to you guys even more! I was looking through the wiki and stuff and saw that New Mystery of the Emblem had Casual Mode, so other than that feature how tough would you say it is?
