MaskedAmpharos Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 So for those of you who have already played the Archanea games... Do you need to play Shadow Dragon before New Mystery, or can you jump right into New Mystery? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need to play Shadow Dragon or New Mystery won't make sense. 17 minutes ago, Eridras said: Get that Quickened Pulse seal and hit people with a 1-cooldown Bonfire!

Though of course, the two games' plots are connected. @MrSmokestack with the Quickened Pulse Edited June 13, 2017 by SatsumaFSoysoy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They trow quite a few flashbacks at you in new mystery, so you don't need to have played Shadow Dragon I guess... It'll probably be more enoyable if you did though.

Rezanator Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 @MaskedAmpharos I think that it is not necessary to sacrifice any units in New Mystery and you get to play most of Shadow Dragon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To access the Gaiden chapters (6x etc) you need to have a certain number of units killed off. New Mystery is a lot more refined gameplaywise but the writing took a turn for the worse by adding Katarina and Kris as OC's, especially with how they affected the writing of Marth's character. It's the main reason why most people don't like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rezanator Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 There is a new trailer for FE Warriors with two sibling royals who gather warriors from different dimensions. So when did Alphonse dyed his hair? 'Cuse the girl is Sharena right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laaaaame Unless you want to kill of almost your entire cast, you should just skip the gaiden chapters, really. Shadow Dragon added several mechanics to help players out who really srewed up, like the gaiden chapters or giving you generic units if you don't have a full party for a chapter, but if you play normally and don't suck, you won't notice them. Killing of almost your entire cast and legions of generic units makes for a nice change of pace though.

Rezanator Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 @Bartozio When some of the replacements have names like Wymp, Owend, Laim, and Rejek among others. I would have killed them too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaskedAmpharos Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 Alright, I'll try to find time to play Shadow Dragon and then New Mystery sometime this summer. I'd been meaning to play them eventually anyways; this banner's just another push. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can play through SD without seeing the Gaiden chapters at all. You'll still play through all the chapters present in the original game. Plus the characters aren't that useful anyway. The only character you have to kill off is the sacrifice in the prologue. Which you'll never see if you play on hard mode or above. And TBH is not much different from mutually exclusive characters like Samson/Arran. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Othin Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 SD's Gaiden chapters are basically consolation prizes to help you recover if you lost a bunch of characters earlier on, not something to aim for. But it ends up feeling very weird and off-putting. I don't think "no full recruitment" is a particularly good basis for criticizing SD, though. To my understanding, FE3 was the first game where "full recruitment" was possible, and the second was FE8. That's a lot of games where it wasn't possible.

Choosing between units is different from actively sacking them off. No one criticizes Birthright for not being able to recruit Conquest units, and vice versa.

No one criticizes Birthright for not being able to recruit Conquest units, and vice versa. You don't have to actively sacrifice units in SD (outside of Normal mode). You can just choose to keep your main chapter units over recruiting the Gaiden ones. Mind, that doesn't make SD's Gaidens not stupid, but I didn't say they weren't. I just said "no full recruitment" isn't a good way to look at the problem. The problem with SD is much more specific than that.

Edit: Then again, I'd probably kill off half the cast for Boots. Edited June 13, 2017 by DehNutCase Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
