Soledai Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 Lol I waited for a topic like this I have as well, a long time ago. Getting that lucky Angel Ring from a thief drop will forever remain my fondest memory of that game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sable Argyle Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 I played it up until I got the third part and just got tired of it's slow gameplay. But technically yes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Master Thunderblade Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 I have beaten it once, but on easy mode, a guide and the speed up button of a emulator. So you could say that I didn't play through the 'true' Gaiden experience... It was the first Japanese exclusive Fire Emblem I played, since it was a standalone title, I figured it would be a good starting point. Not sure if I was right or not.

There are a lot of things worth keeping in Gaiden, and a lot of things that is in dire need of being changed. One movement desert tiles (not counting mages), endless summons, lots of reused maps and general poor design choices are all things that should be fixed. Spoiler I do think things like choosing between Sonya and Deen are features that will be kept, and I honestly don't see what would be so controversial, since there's already hints for their exclusive recruitment in the original game. As long as they don't make one of them unambiguously better than the other (I've heard Sonya blows Deen out of the water), then I don't see the problem. Like I said though, while it looks like a relatively faithful remake of what we've seen so far, some things are bound to be fixed - I'd be disappointed if all they did was give the game a new coat of paint, as it were. I'm sure a lot of people might be surprised if the marriage and children system are removed, but that doesn't mean they'll give up on the game. Keep in mind most newcomers most likely play other games as well without all that stuff in it. Edited January 22, 2017 by Thane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edric1225 Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 I've played the game; still enjoying it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jotari Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 Tried to but the inability to highlight movement and the pretty woeful translation put me off. Was planning on getting to it when the new translation was finished and now I'll probably get to it after finishing the remake. I reckon I'll probably enjoy it as the style of difficulty around in the NES days does appeal to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarkDestr0yer61 Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 My interest was piqued when Ray (mageknight404) did a let's play of it. So I didn't play it blind, but I had so much fun playing it. I enjoy things that are unique and the game has a lot of interesting mechanics. I would consider this my 3rd favorite Fire Emblem. If I had to name something I didn't like about this game, it's at the UI/controls or whatever feel clunky (not so much an issue with the game itself, but with the system it was on)..... and the map design is bad. Worst in the series in my opinion. But that didn't keep me from enjoying the game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
