  1. I'm in the minority here but I like Fire Emblem 4's 80's Anime style because it reminds me of LOGH. I also like Fire Emblem 5's art-style and the portraits did use a bit of cel-shading. Same with Path of Radiance.
  2. I think S-Rank Swords is better as the res boost stacks with Pure Water and Barrier and will make Demon Light do almost no damage and you can freely wail at Formittis or force him to attack you at melee. Don't quote me on that though since i'm still stuck on that damn chapter.
  3. lmao that chapter completely screwed up My Seth Solo and I had to turtle like a mofo. I'm still stuck on The final boss because Seth can't handle that many enemies without getting completely raped. Sigurd doesn't even need to worry about that because Tyrfing is all he needs to make quick work out of Reptor's Squad.
  4. Honestly it isn't as easy to criticize his support lists as it is with his units list considering everyone has different opinions on certain characters so in a way I actually like this video. But saying things like "Wendy was good in my last FE 6 run and therefore is a really good unit and one of the best in the game and needs to be appreciated more" is simply wrong whether it's an opinion or not. Personal experience doesn't justify a unit's worth but it can be used to back up an argument on favorite supports since different supports connect with different people. Also Generals are better than Paladins and Generals are the best class in all of Fire Emblem in all of Fire Emblem
  5. FE 3 Book 2 is still worth playing even if you played FE 12 simply because of how different both games are from eachother. The amazing Level design is undermined by how weak the enemies are but it is still it isn't too easy. FE 3 book 1 sucks. FE 5 is amazing if you enjoy being raped by a Fire Emblem game(if you are playing blind) many of the mechanics are very well-implemented such as Capture and Fatigue and the level design is top notch.
  6. lmao you were the guy that got banned by Mangs right?

      Yes. I just wrote a really long and heartwarming explanation... Dammit. Why is there no extension option?

      yeah I was elitewhale during Ghast's FE 4 stream

  7. Lord Tullus, Have I seen you on ghast's stream? You were the guy who got banned by Mangs right?
  8. As much as I dislike Awakening, it was the game that kicked off my Fire Emblem fandom so I will give it props for doing that much, and i still have fun with it even if such occasions are rare. However, as much as i hate to admit it, the older FE games have their problems as well. Poor Balancing in the case of Fire Emblem 3, 4 and 6 with mounted units dominating 4 and 6 (GBA FE's and FE 4 and FE 9 mounted units are just flat-out better than unmounted units) and the large chunk of pre-promos in FE 3 and 12 being useless (more so in FE 12). FE 7 is overrated to hell and back as the game just feels like a dumbed down version of FE 5 with maps that don't hold a candle to Thracia or New Mystery. Speaking of Thracia, the game also has fairly poor balance due to Warp Abuse. Radiant Dawn has terrible balancing due the availability of most units just being garbage. Sigurd and Seth cheese their games harder than Warp Abuse or Awakening Pair up ever could. And I personally hate lower growth rates as it increases the likelihood of your units getting RNG screwed. (FE 12 and 3ds FE's avoid this problem to an extent). Also a large portion of Armor Knights, Archers and early-game fighters in older FE games flat out suck. While the story, and level design of older FE games and FE 12 for the most part are of higher quality than the new ones (Revelations as an example of how to make the most boring maps in Fire Emblem ever) the older FE games aren't exactly perfect in comparison.
  9. FE 2 Alm bcoz 5 range bows FE 4 Sigurd because Sigurd is god on wheels. If you don't field Sigurd it was either a mistake or a self-imposed Challenge. Also props to Celice for basically becoming Sigurd 2.0 with the right inheritance. FE 8 Eirika because she's hot and Ephraim because he is a bad ass and because wincest FE 10 Ike bcoz he fights 4 his frends FE 12 Marth bcoz lol growths and I guess you could count Chris since it's game over if he dies and he is a god FE 13 Robin bcoz lol Robin
  10. Don't quote me on this but I don't think Cheats matter because the manner in which you get the shards is much more different than the process to get regular items. The obtaining of the shards are scripted an therefore when using cheats the game will recognize them as regular items and not star-shards. Just play until you get to "Mystery Revealed" and if you don't get the starsphere even after using the cheat(which should be on GameFaqs) then you can do what I did and continue playing, or restart If you REALLY want that good ending.
  11. When's FEE3? Because I don't trust IS to make FE Generations. If it was a fan made mod. I would even pay for it since if it's going to be a fan-service game, we need polls on SF and other Forums to determine who would be the Jeigan/Oifey (probably Sigurd) and who would be the lord that represents each Archetype. That would be amazing.
  12. Aideen seems to have like a harem going on for her. Azel, Dew, Jamke, Midayle. She makes all those oblivious anime main char.s jealous. I really like Safy and Lifis though i wish they had an ending together. So i guess it's julian and lena
  13. -FE 12 has the best level design in the series -Fatigue should be brought back in the new games -FOW FE 5-12 was way better than FOW in Revelations -Capturing's iteration in Fates sucks big time -Revelations chapter's are fun (only if you are shit-faced drunk with a bunch of buddies playing elevator music during Sumeragi's chapter) -Gaiden was the most innovative game in the series -Catria is better than Palla in FE 12 (atleast in H1 and H2) -Brighton is the most underappreciated character in the entire series -Manster chapters were the best part of FE 5 -Valm arc was the best Arc in awakening (gameplay wise) -Tharja sucks as a character and as a unit -Canto should burn in hell -Swordmasters are overrated
  14. Birthright has shit maps but a less shit story Conquest has solid maps but a shit story Revelations has the worst maps in FE history and a shit story Pick your poison really if you wanted the same challenge Conquest provides just play FE 5 or 12 seeing as how both have better map design without having to rely on shitty gimmicks like the windtribe or the Kataro maps. Thracia has more nuanced mechanics then Conquest and New Mystery, whereas FE 12 has the best difficulty curve in the series and is more simple than both while still having superb map design and enemy placement. All 3 games suffer from balance issues but all FE games are imbalanced so it shouldn't count against any of them.
  15. Obviously Sigurd for reasons have already been said but i would like to give a shout-out to Marth from FE 1 seeing as how the enemies in that game are ridiculously weak and over half of them die in one-round thanks to the rapier which is a common weapon in armories. On top of that even if a character is in lethal HP range enemies will always go for Marth. He has thief utility via the fire emblem and Mercurius bascially gives Marth Paragon on top of having crazy Might and peing PRF ranked to Marth (if memory is accurate). On top of that Marth get's the Falchion which makes him invunerable to any enemy that isn't a manakete, which speaks for itself.
  16. I always run out of cash during my playthroughs of Fates and Fe 12 since the drill grounds and forging is too damn tempting. Gold really doesn't exist in FE 5 since everything you can get is free of charge and is earned through capturing and selling weapons I usually end up having too much gold in my playthroughs of Awakening, Path of Radiance, GBA FE's and especially in the case of FE 4.
  17. Chapter 2 of Fe 4 might just be one of the most boring chapters in Fire Emblem, second only to the stupid snow level and the elevator level in irrevelations.
  18. I thought Seth and Marcus sucked and that Amelia and Nino were the strongest units in all of Fire Emblem. I also thought Armor knights were the best class in the series and that horse units were underwhelming. I also took pride in achieving turncounts of 20-30. I thought all pre-promoted units sucked. Then everything changed when I watched dondon and mekkah's Fe 6 run
  19. Revelations: I have some good memories with my buddies playing enjoying the elevator music we played on Sumeragi's level more than the actual gameplay
  20. The problem is he doesn't really know what classifies as a "Good Unit". He is the stereotype placed on 90% of Fire Emblem Youtubers magnified by Ten. The problem is he takes personal experience into account when discussing a unit's worth, which we all know is completely stupid. Can anyone scream "PEMN" any louder? Like Tryhard said, personal experience does not resemble a characters worth, but rather statistics and raw averages as well as availability and class. It's like trying to argue with Amelia fanboys. You won't get anywhere because they will always pull the argument "But on my last playthrough of FE 8 Amelia was a god". A unit shouldn't need to be babied to hell and back or be stuffed with a lot of resources. Unless they are like Celice in which case they are the best candidate for said resources. Remember people, this is the guy who said Generals are the best class in Fire Emblem and that Gilliam was a better combat unit than Seth; Was he ever credible in the first place? He's only played half of the games in the series on top of that. His claim that "Revelations has the best level design in the series" shouldn't be taken seriously because he doesn't know the criteria of a good map. (I could go on an entire rant why Revs has worse map design than Gaiden and FE 1, but i wont)
  21. FE 5 (maybe): I haven't finished it yet, but from what i played it is bloody amazing, i love the capture mechanic, fatigue, the level design, the atmosphere and the soundtrack. Pretty much everything. FE 4: Most imbalanced Fire Emblem game, game-play wise, love the story and most of the villains, and I love the way weapons and money work in this game. I also love the large open ended maps, but that's just me. Also amazing soundtrack, second only to tellius series. FE 12: Criminally underrated soundtrack , i adore this game, best level design and enemy placement in the series. Anti-turtling, smart use of terrain and enemy placement. Though out of all the FE games, this game has undoubtedly the worse unit balance in any fire emblem game. FE 9 and 10 Tellius Series: I can't see playing one game without the other, the Tellius saga is just epic and awesome with Path of Radiance having a great story but mediocre game-play and Radiant Dawn having a mediocre story with kick ass gameplay. Also best soundtrack in the series, i just love the remake of the song from Chapter 10 of FE 4 Fates Conquest: A new Fire Emblem game I actually like! Shit story but above average level design that, unlike Revelations and Birthright, encourage the player to not turtle. Unit balance is also way better than most other Fire Emblem games. Also lamer classes such as the Archers, Thieves and Armor Knights have been buffed and are way more useful than in previous games. FE 6: basically a watered down version of Thracia 776 (from what i played of that game) FE 7: meh, I like the story though Awakening: I like some of the supports and I like some of the characters. Level design is bad, but it is on the borderline on what can count as an enjoyable experience. Story is also bad but not as bad as conquest or a certain other game. FE 8: See Fe 7 FE 3/Book2, Shadow Dragon and Fe1: I cannot play these games whatsoever. Maybe if i force myself i can play Shadow Dragon. Fates Birthroute: Bleh Revelations: Kinda ruins the whole premise fates. You can't come to terms with fighting your own family? Well you can pay 20 bucks to skip the entire reason why the story of Conquest and Birthright's story wasn't utter shit! Terrible Level design that rewards turtling and a story that is somehow worse than conquest, with cheesiest ending in an FE game ever. Yeah i'm being a bit harsh but thats how much i hate this game. FE 8: See Fe 7
  22. yeah, i haven't really seen many Fire Emblem 4 efficiency runs except this one LTC percent growths run (can't remember from who, I think it was from Marty), also I'm probably wrong on the whole "Arthur help Celice solo thing" but i have done a playthrough with Celice, Arthur, Ares and Leaf(the localized name is way cooler) just running around doing rescue shenanigans where Arthur was a central force due to actually having a good 1-2 range but i wasn't actually trying to get Low Turns, also the pairing takes too long which is why it probably isn't used in proper efficiency runs.
  23. FE4 uuh I mean Sigird and Celice roflstomp the game so Knight Lord? Maybe Mage Knight because mounted magic users (especially holsety) FE5 well Free Knights can use their main weapon both in doors and outdoors, otherwise mages are awesome FE6 berserkers are fun and paladins are ZOMGamzing FE7 falcon knights kick ass, so do nomads, paladins are still broken FE8 see FE7 and FE 6 FE9 pretty much everyone on a horse, wyvern, or Pegasus FE10 see FE9 FE11 Dracoknights, and maybe mages FE12 see FE11 FE13 pretty much every class is good so dunno FE14 ninjas are awesome
