  1. Can you elaborate onnthe retro gamer part? Is because if the character design? I am a retro game and have nothing but hype As for the second part, langrisser is very simillar to fe. The main difference is that any unit can recruit general troops and lead a small army a feature that 3 Houses seem to be taking. I played both 1 and the snes version of 2. The firat has... issues. I have seen some insane fluctuation of the damage dealt in the very same situation, which is crippling in a game whit permadeath, and sevaral unit are 100% identical to each other. The plot is also your run-off-the-mill "save the world from the big bad evil guy." It's mhe experience, but they may improve it. As for 2, it is one of my favorite srpg. For starters they introduced multiple path and allowed you to join every faction, including the "garnef". The plot is relatively simple, and has some problem, but it did a cool in making every faction both relatable and flawed. And the indipendent route is one hell of a power trip when you get to kick the butt of everyone whit a very small force. The gameplay improved everything. Generic troops are more varied and effective, and you can build an unit as a dedicated commander, there are much more spells and equipment that allow formany peculiar strategies. You can play the same route several times whit completely different strategies, wich, coupled whit the 4 routes, give the game great replaybility. The only problem is that the game can be a litle too easy if you optimize the mc on creation(you get a questionaire that give you stats, spell or items depending on your answers. If you always pick the stats increasing one the mc will be Chuck Norris), or exploit the gamebraking stuff, and it has only a soft permadeath this time, if we can call it a permadeath at all(units don't die, but you get a worse ending if they get killed even once, so you will still likely reset on a death). Sorry if i got carried away.
  2. Fire Emblem storytelling always followed trends of fantasy anime of the times: Jugdral was like that because Berserk was the big thing of Fantasy anime back then. Awakening and Fates are like that because we live in the era defined by SAO and similar light novels. Camilla is annoying and easy to hate, but not a bad character. Even the fanservice make sense if we remember that she was raised in an harem during a concubine wars and was likely surronded by seductresses all day long. Camuses are the worst villain type and incarnate everything wrong whit the DnD-style lawful stupid paladin. Ishtar is the only one that i consider good because she has both a personal connection whit the big bad and a legittimate reason to want the protagonist dead. Radiant Dawn is not a worthy sequel of Path of Radiance and suffer from the same overall problem of Conquest.They try to pit playable characters againist each other, but don't want to paint anyone in a bad light, so they use some a bad plot device to force one of the faction to reluctantly fight.
  3. The first time i plaged fe i was in my edgy phase and took a pseudo Darwinian stance "If they die this means they weren't worth using". My first fe was PoR and at the begining i focused on Shinon,Titania and Gatrie. Then the game throwed me that curveball and i had to do chapter 8 whit just Ike, Titania,Soren and Mia. And, for added stupidity, i assumed at first that the named red units were minibosses instead of recruitable characters and killed Ilyana too. The first proper benched guy was Rolf, but there was a bloodbath before that.
  4. This may be impopular, but stamina and dismounting: Stamina prevent an unit like Seth,Ryoma ecc. from becoming centralizing and stimulate using more than the usual 10 people every map, while dismounting is a tradeoff for classes that are consistently among the best in any FE game.
  5. Nice to meet you, i'm an assassin. I lurked this forum for years and i decised to join mostly because i am very hyped about Three House and the fact that it may take my favourite feature from the Langrisser series. Overall my favourite FEs are Thracia 776 and Conquest: i admit that the latter has the worst plot in the series, but i don't mind too much because i rarely play fe for the story. Outside of fe, i consider Der Langrisser(wich can tell a lesson to FE about how to make a conflict between multiple playble factions that seems morally grey), Shining Force 2 (i have yet to play 3) and Final Fantasy Tactic my favourite SRPGs. I am sorry for my bad english, it is not my first language.
