Flee Fleet! Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 By best title, I mean its name. So far, every Fire Emblem has had a unique title: Shadow Dragon and the Blade of Light, Shadows of Valentia, Sacred Stones, Radiant Dawn....e.t.c. So, which title do you think is the best among the series? Factors may include how cool it sounds, and how it suits the theme of its respective FE game. You may also talk about the title you dislike. I'll start us off: Personally, I prefer Fates, because its just one word, and fits the game, considering you have three different paths, and therefore, three different Fates. And I also prefer the name Sacred Stones because...the game is about sacred stones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slumber Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 Genealogy of the Holy War sounds like a metal album, so that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ciarre Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 Genealogy sounds cool as fuck tbh. I think someone said Ashes of Jugdral as a suggestion for a possible remake, and that sounds metal as fuck too I also like SoV a lot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chconroy Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 Probably Genealogy of the Holy War. Sounds cool and important without being too long and makes clear sense in the context of the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Geneaology of the Holy War is metal af, then Thracia 776 is its weird alt metal cousin who "you haven't heard of" pushes up thick fake hipster glasses and sips starbucks cup To me, Path of Radiance and Radiant Dawn seem like the perfect game titles to use as a fake summary of the series for overbearing religious parents. I can just see how that would go, since I've told mine all about "One Peace". Personally, my favorite title is Awakening. It was the only one that made me wonder why it was called that. When I finally got it, I felt so darn proud of myself. Two years after I bought it. Ha. Ha. Ha... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strullemia Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 Genealogy of the Holy War. It's not too long and it sounds so grandiose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

link16hit Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 genealogy of the holy war, it's epic fire emblem IF/fates was cool too. Especially the japanese one Mystery of the emblem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Florete Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 Genealogy of the Holy War sounds way too pretentious to me. Path of Radiance sounds the best to me. Honorable mentions would be Radiant Dawn, Awakening, and If (not Fates). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wuzzy Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 Path of Radiance, New Mystery of the Emblem, and Fates were the most enticing titles for me. Though Tharcia 776 had the weirdest title for me though, still not entirely sure where the 776 comes from (I assume it's the year the game takes place?)

It'd basically be like a story being called "America 1776". Edited December 30, 2017 by Slumber Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thane Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 Going to go with Genealogy of the Holy War and Thracia 776 as well. The former sounds incredibly epic while the latter has a unique vibe to it. Shadows of Valentia is my least favorite title simply because "shadows" is such an overused word in video game context. I understand why they chose the name, and I know it's "Another Hero-King" in Japanese (which I also think sounds silly), but I would've preferred something else. That might be a petty reason, but I mean there's no title I really dislike, so it sort of sticks out. I'll also say I never understood Path of Radiance really. Most titles tie pretty heavily with what's going on in the games, but in Path of Radiance that's up for interpretation, isn't it? At least Radiant Dawn could be interpreted as a new beginning for Tellius after the events of the game or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 (edited) Fire Emblem: New Mystery of the Emblem ~Heroes of Light and Shadow~ because clearly, the longer a title is, the better. Edited December 31, 2017 by Nobody Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harvey Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 Genealogy of the Holy War is the best title. Honourable mentions are Blazing Blade, Binding Blade and Thracia 776. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lau Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 I find 'Genealogy' to be a cool word, so Genealogy of the Holy War wins out. Awakening is also very fitting. Shadow Dragon is so simple it works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mighty V Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 (edited) Gonna contribute to the echo chamber and say Genealogy of the Holy War, just because the word "Genealogy" intimidates the weak minded. Though I'm also fond of Blazing Blade for the alliterative appeal. Edited January 2, 2018 by Mighty V clarifying a point Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Interdimensional Observer Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 (edited) Genealogy of the Holy War sounds good, but at the same time its a little much- fitting for the first mega ambitious FE. Radiant Dawn sounds like a military operation's codename for better or worse (the one where Ike joins the Marines while Micaiah provides air coverage from her Thani bomber). Shadows of Valentia is eh since what is so shadowy about Valentia? Fates is to the point and simple, while the sub-subtitles work. Mystery of the Emblem is good, if the word "mystery" isn't exactly perfect for the Fire Emblem of Archanea. Heroes of Light and Shadow as in "hero in the public spotlight, and hero/ine working quietly in the shadows" sounds great in itself, if easily mistakable for Light and Shadow as in elements, which describes Awakening more when you think about it. Thracia 776 has a nice historical sounding, authentic appeal, and is nestled firmly within the world of the game. Shadow Dragon is too simple and too dull. Path of Radiance, Ike is the Hero of the Blue Flames (which radiate from the LM) in Japan, but the title is too ambitious for itself. The Sacred Stones is generic. Awakening- the Awakening of the Falchion and Grima alike are not that super important. And the title is cliched and too short too. Blazing Blade is okay, but Durandal plays almost no role in FE7. Binding Blade is a little better sounding, but not too much. Edited January 2, 2018 by Interdimensional Observer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coldhand25 Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 IF - it sound pretty weird and cool at the same time with how short it is Awakening - it has this cool vibe and with the meaning it is really catchy Echoes - Shadows of Valentia - though "shadows of valentia" is not really unique, if you put echoes before it, it will sound pretty epic imho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
