Celice Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 like we didn't see this coming What's some of the things each game seems to do best? For me: FE1: Refined Famicom Wars into a single player game that didn't suck completely. New Ankoku: A nice remake that stayed close enough to the original that new fans hate it, and nostalgic gamers can love it. FE2: Lovely music and nice execution. Created a niche that Fire Emblem could have gone, and arguably could've been what the series needed to keep new fans coming. Just Breed is a fine example of what Fire Emblem Gaiden attempted to be. FE3: Two games in one is always an awesome idea. Its levels are also some of the better ones in the series. Add in that it's the best selling Fire Emblem of all time, if memory serves... FE4: Wonderful presentation, wonderful palettes, wonderful atmosphere, wonderful graphics--wonderful. It's not a good Fire Emblem. It's a good game. FE5: Perhaps the most "pure" Fire Emblem of them all. This is one of the best, which seems ironic, considering the game feels unfinished and broken, which isn't all too unlikely, having been distributed specifically through closed means initially. But Super Famicom Wars wasn't that bad... was it? FE6: Nothing I can really think of. The GBA portion of the series sucks to me. FE7: Same. FE8: Nice concept, but maybe if the game was actually worked on, rather than alongside FE9 (at the time, FE8 was announced during production of FE9), it could've done far better. FE9: Brought the game as close to the Jugdral universe as possible. I loved the game right away. FE10: Same as above, but even more. The graphics were slightly better, at the expense of musical talent :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Santino Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 Ah, some positiveness. FE2: Maybe the fact that it's so different. Don't really know why, but I love it. FE3: Only thing I really like about it is being a good middle stage between nes FE and FE4. And graphics. And some characters. And length. FE4: Story, characters, music, atmopshere(!), pairing system, holy blood... FE5: Storytelling, characters, music, atmosphere (!), the way it takes a less interesting part of 4's story and makes it great. I currently think it is best of the series. FE6: It brought Roy to Melee. FE7: Easy to play through without putting too much thought in it. FE9: Good story most of the time, characters, music, atmosphere... The way it quite successfully put the whole thing into 3D. FE10: FE9 in a more glorified way. Much better story, mostly same characters and new characters are good though underpresented, music of same quality, better atmosphere. I like the 4-part-system, feeling a good parting from the normal story curve. The 3-tier system works good in this game, and characters like Tormod give good replay value. The only game where I really like most of the ending. I still don't like it as good as Thracia though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Florete Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 FE4: Interesting concept, good music. FE6: ... FE7: The characters, the gameplay, the music, the story, the supports, the side-quests FE8: Alternate paths, decent gameplay. FE9: Skills, anima triangle, new support system. FE10: Animations, music, difficulty, bonus experience, wide variety of weapons and characters, awesome story, team switching (Yes, I actually loved that part), three class tier system.

The Envoy of the Beginning Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 FE1: Being the first in the series FE2: Not much to say other than being different FE3: Two games in one? Sweet FE4: Lover system, great plot FE5: Capturing, Smart AI, Gaiden chapters, Hardest in the series, actually makes you think, great music, not to mention Lara's in it FE6: Actually challenging, Gaiden chapters, and branched paths FE7: Having three lords, Gaiden chapters FE8: Has my favorite FE character of all time in it, and branched paths FE9: Best support system IMO, bringing the game back to FE4/5 roots, Laguz, great plot FE10: Challenging, long, three-tier system, switching parties Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ϲharlie Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 FE1: It got the series started. I can't say much more since I haven't played it much. FE2: This stands out as the most unique in the series. Most of the "innovations" of the later games started here. FE3: Two games in one is nice, and Book 2 is a big improvement in the storytelling department. Despite its flaws, I also think the gameplay is excellent as well. FE4: The overall story is pretty good, and the characters generally have more depth. It also introduced the weapon triangle. FE5: This game took what I liked about FE3 and perfected it. FE6: It was the first to introduce the support system that most of us like. FE7: This one has the most interesting cast, IMO. It was also the first to be localized, so that has to count for something. FE8: It brought back some of the things that made Gaiden interesting. FE9: Best support system in the series, and I have to give IS credit for making an unoriginal story concept fairly interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Killer Poleax Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 (edited) FE7: support conversations, characters, challenging (a little) FE8: branched story, uh...can't think of anything else. I didn't really like this game. FE9: Greil Mercenaries, music (except battle music), characters, support conversations, skills, story, forge weapons, no promotion items needed to promote characters, nice variety of maps FE10: characters, music, battle animations (yeah, I actually LIKE watching them), skills, forge weapons, third tier classes, challenging, characters can support with anyone, bexp, paragon, characters can hold up to 8 items/weapons, switching teams (I just wish the DB and CRK could gain more exp in their chapters), don't need promotion items to promote characters, base conversatons, no zero stat-ups when leveling up, character models (how they're not just different coloured sprites of the same class), beautiful cutscenes, story, anything else I missed relating to the gameplay cause I love this game Edited January 12, 2009 by KSFF2150 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven Tyler Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 (edited) FE1: Brought the series to life. FE2: Ha ha ha ha ha FE3: Two games in one and the second game had a good story and excellent music. FE4: Perfect music, characters to love, easy for first timers of the series FE5: Makes you think and great music. FE6: You support Roy's idea of being a Charlie Harper. Roy also help bring the series to America. Also has a great musical score. FE7: Reminds me of playing an old SNES RPG. FE9 and 10: My people finally gets a brotha in the game :P Edited January 12, 2009 by Snow_Storm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klaus Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 Of the ones I've played: FE3: It expanded upon the original with a whole new story, and you can't help but love its lighthearted-ness. FE4: Brilliant storyline, great characters, and its unique gameplay mechanics make this one of my favorites. FE5: FE4's 2nd Gen story needing expanding, and FE5 did just that. Capturing was a great idea as well. FE6: It introduced a good support system that would last until FE8. Otherwise, it's just FE1 on a handheld. FE7: Re-introduced some of FE5's chapter objectives, and was a huge improvement over FE6. FE8: I liked the split promotions and some aspects of CC. I also liked its characters. FE9: Brought back FE4/5's skills, has a great cast of characters, and has some of the best music in the series. FE10: It had the best storyline since FE4/5, the best graphics, and like FE9, it has wonderful music. FEDS: Besides being a remake of the first game, online is an interesting diversion from the main game, and gives me a reason to max out my characters' stats.

VincentASM Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 What I like about them: FE2: Different from all the other FEs. Great music, although limited by the hardware. FE3: Interesting characters and plot, at the time. Value for money with the two Books. FE4: Two generation system, broken uber legendaries, introduction of Skills FE5: Challenging, many interesting features (eg. fog of war, capturing, stealing, movement stars) FE6: Er... It was on a handheld system, so it was convenient. FE7: Well executed. FE8: For trying... sort of. FE9: Bringing back some old features and a fresh start for the series. FE11: Fairly faithful remake of the original, Wi-Fi is slightly more interesting than the Link Arena. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rei Rei Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 FE3:It's not only a remake of FE1, it added much more things. FE4:It's just perfect, jeez. Also, the lover system and the plot twist. FE5:A real good challenge, the capture system, great characters. FE6:Some nice characters, some nice maps.... FE7:It's FE6 on a larger scale. FE8:Ehhhh, monsters?

nacho Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 Well, I've only played FE7 and 8 :) FE7 - The coolest story, characters with strong personalities that make them easy to identify with. In my opinion, just awesome characters to play with. Difficulty wasn't so bad either. I enjoyed it a lot. And it hooked me on FE. FE8 - Pales in comparison to FE7, but still a good game in that we have some good recruitable characters - Amelia, Ross, Ewan. Monsters may be cool to some. It seems like a longish game.

Herr Wozzeck Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 FE4: Holy Blood, children in the 2nd Gen, and the fact that there's a lot going on at any given time. FE6: Nice characters, maps, and the only game I've played where Dark Magic users don't seem to suck... FE7: Story and characters. I remember feeling sorry for a lot of people. FE8: Branched promotions and multiple paths. FE9: Support system, BEXP system, and characters. FE10: Three tiers of promotion, more FMV sequences, and very good closure. And also, the incredibly epic final chapter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liz Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 (edited) FE7: Characters and the different story modes. FE8: Split paths, Creature Campaign, trainee classes, branched promotions FE9: Characters, Base Camp, Bonus Exp, Skill System, Support System. Storyline, while cliche, quite interesting FE10: Same as above except the support system. Amazing storyline. Split parts of the game.

Judge Judy Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 FE6: The wide range of characters you can choose from FE7: The story plot. I like the way the character's personality is developed. FE8: I like that there are two options to choose from when you promote a unit. FE9: I like the skills system in the game and the plot. FE10: The three class system and skills. FEDS: That you can change classes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ike-Mike Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 FE1: Series first. FE2: Tried to RPG-ize Fire Emblem. FE3: Best selling Fire Emblem of all time. FE4: Generation 1. FE5: Everything and then some. FE6: Brought Fire Emblem to handhelds. FE7: The first game for many non-Japenese people, including me. FE8: It *tried* to be a good game. FE9: Less than decent FMV cutscenes that I still use in Youtube Poops. FE10: Same as FE9. FE11: Its content makes it also a good game for newcomers without being as in-your-face as FE8. Also it's the quickest Fire Emblem ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yuli Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 I do like the story for FE6 and FE7. And FE8 has new classes to choose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edorian Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 FE6: I like that it is a prequel of my favorite FE game. Overall characters are great, I like the story and the gathering of the Divine weapons with their respective gaiden chapters are really cool, battle animations of Zephiel, Roy with the Sword of seals and Forblaze are great too. Maps are pretty cool, a great variety. I also like that you get to travel everywhere in Elibe. FE7: My favorite game due to being the one that introduced me to the series, great characters overall and good story. The support system, archive and convos are my favorite part of this game. FE8: Even though this is my least favorite FE game that I've played, I really liked the characters. FE9: I like the story and characters too. The CG movies are beautiful. FE10: Haven't beaten it but it is a sequel of a good story and game. Should play it more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FionordeQuester Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 FE1: The fact that such a great series was created, and the fact that I finally figured out which game Marth was from. FE2: The story was better (don't get me wrong, the script sucked, but the story actually was pretty creative), the graphics were slightly improved, and it was really fun my powerleveled units rip through the competition. FE3: I haven't played Book 2, but I like it's improved graphics, and I absolutely love the title screen music! FE5: Haven't played it. FE6: Um...the Final Boss music was really cool...um....so was the map theme "In Natures Majesty".....it set up the story for FE7.....and that's about it >_< FE8: I like how nice the graphics look and how well the designers used their color palletes. I have to say, they did a really GREAT job with the colors in this game! FE9: Don't remember it well enough. FE10: I like it for being challenging, for the story not being as bad as I thought it would be (I thought it was pretty good), and I also love that even after all these years, Fire Emblem is still a great series. I'll comment on the other three later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
General Spoon Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 FE4: Gives you mixed emotions of saddness, anger, confusion, and "wtf is this?" at the end of chapter 5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thanibomb Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 Copycat. Anyway... FE4: Awesome characters, awesome story, awesome everything (except the large maps). FE5: I love the maps and the characters (of course, they are from FE4!). FE6: The characters are generic but lovable! Elibe is fun, and so is the support system. FE7: My favorite in terms of graphics. And I love the supports. Character development improved. FE8: Uhm, branched promotions? FE9: Characters, Bonus EXP, 3-D. ;D So yeah, my favorite part about every FE game is its characters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CGV Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 FE7: The characters and maps FE8: The map thing. And there's the two towers (lawlz) FE9: It's 3-D, the characters FE10: Pretty much everything Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
