Pizza Johns Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 So, I beat Gaiden, and stuff. Overall, I thought the game was interesting and quite fun, you do way more than just "hit things until they die". The overworld map and the two parties were implicated very well, and the dungeon crawling was excellent. Also, the weapon and magic system was pretty awesome and did it way better than Fates imo. A lot of improvements from FE1, like more promotions, stats that can go higher than 20, better character endings, etc. While Gaiden is a cool ass game, there were still terrible design aspects, like the shamans, (Oh, we all hate them) garbage maps, random moments, etc. I hope things will get better when Echoes comes out, as playing Gaiden really pumped up the hype for me.

OliKad Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 I actually completed Gaiden as well for the first time today! :D I'm glad that you liked your experience with it! ^^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wist Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 Hm, I've been thinking I really ought to give Gaiden a go. How long did it take you to beat? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I started it on Friday night, and beat it on Monday night. It depends on the dedication to it, which I had. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meanlucario Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 I was thinking more mechanic-wise, like the weapon triangle and GBA style supports. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There should be no mechanics removed, because Gaiden has a very classic feel to it, nor should there be a weapon triangle. I'd like a better inventory system, and give the characters some supports and personalities. Also, no marrying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FE2's system looks fun (I think you can see the thunder sword in the trailer), and I would love to see supports without marriage. I can wait for a Holy War remake for another FE game with children characters. Also, I've heard that there are some poorly made maps in FE2. How true is that claim?

I hope they fix them than. I don't think most fans would complain if they fix something that wasn't too great in the original. Let's hope they don't try to make it too much like the newer games.

Mega Koopa Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 Well, it wouldn't be so bad if some maps were replaced or straight up removed. Maps like these should never see the light of day. This map was used three fucking times in the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OliKad Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 (edited) Fun fact: one of the maps from Gaiden was actually reused for Inigo's paralogue in Awakening, check this out:http://lparchive.org/Fire-Emblem-Gaiden-(by-DKII)/Update 53/4-fe2ch4pt09img0040_stitch.png And it's Awakening counterpart: Edited January 24, 2017 by OliKad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For a Gaiden map, that one isn't too bad. I think the Witch DLC map in Fates comes from Gaiden, too. I wonder if there's a count of how many maps have been taken from Gaiden.

I don't know man, having to use your units in a map that is basically a square that offers you little to no possibilites in doing a strategy sounds so much fun to me.

Refa Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 What's wrong with the inventory system? Also what's not wrong with the accuracy in this game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have a basic weapon, and can either use a special version of it or a ring. I'm honestly OK with using the old system with a few adjustments.

Refa Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 I can understand that. I'd just prefer for it to remain simple (even if it got changed) because the lack of micromanaging is what made Gaiden enjoyable for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
