Hero Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 (edited) Tier list FAQ This tier list is based on preference--if you like a game better than another it goes higher in the list. Personal experience means everything with this system. The list is for easy mode, hard mode, whichever difficulty you enjoyed playing the most. Instead of suggesting changes to be made to the list in the first post, post your own lists. There's not much point to debating a preference list. :) Anyway, here's my list: FE5 FE11 FE7 FE4 FE6 FE8 FE3 The NES FEs are unranked because I've never played either for more than a couple of minutes. FEs 9 and 10 are unranked for the same reason. I put FE5 at the top for the complex system, the challenge and the atmosphere, and FE3 at the bottom because I could never "get into it" fully. My stalkers might be surprised to see I ranked FE11 high despite the fact that I never talk about it here, that's because I'm still in the middle of my first playthrough on H5. So far it's been great, a lot harder than I expected from my experience with the earlier games. Edited February 5, 2010 by Hero Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Le Communard Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 (edited) FE9: I just had the most fun playing this one. It was well put together. FE7: This got me through a lot of car trips, what can I say? FE4: Classic SNES. It covers all the bases. FE6: Fun, but ultimately a little thin. FE8: Got tired quick, and I overplayed it because I had no other choice. FE10: This game had two difficulties--pathetic, and annoying. Totally not worth the effort.

Luftwaffe Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 (edited) FE2: personal favourite FE3: fun, but too easy FE5: just a nice game in general FE6: started to like this more than FE4 for being balanced and hard FESD: love H5 FE4: Ardan is cool FE7: nothing special here FE8: ditto FE10: i got this game a while ago but never got around to playing it FE1: never finished it shit, forgot feds Edited February 6, 2010 by Halluci_Nation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaybee Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 FE10. I've liked it a lot, even though here was no character development. I guess it's because it was the first FE game I played. FE11. No character development as well, but quite fun, and it throws Wolf, Zagaro and Barst ready to break the game. FE8. Pretty fun, even though it is a bit easy. Mainly because imposing challenges on myself is fun for this game. FE4. The large maps annoyed me, and your characters get too broken, especially the second gen. FE7. Rather meh, and I found it too easy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blademaster! Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 Still the best selling FE Tier: Mystery of the Emblem I thought FE7 was the best selling FE game. If I was to rank the FE games, it would probably go something like this for me: FE 4 (Mostly due to it's story and music. Doesn't have the best gameplay, but it does have pretty damn good gameplay with a unique system found so far only in this game [The Two Gen System]) FE 10 (This game has the best music and graphics of the series. Loads of characters, a great level of difficulty, a nice story, and great animations make this game a lot of fun) FE 9 (I don't think I really should need to say why this game should go here) FE 11 (If you are just looking to mess around and have a lot of fun, this is the game for you. Reclassing is a lot of fun, gameplay is fast, and the music is great. Some of the gameplay mechanics are lacking, but the other gameplay aspects sorta make up for this. This game is a true example of how a game can be good just based on gameplay alone with a decent story) FE 6 (This game pretty much finalized to the form of FE gameplay we have been using since the game came out. Great gameplay, a multitude of characters, and a nice difficulty make this game a lot of fun) FE 7 (Not much to say about this one, just that it's not as good as those mentioned before it due to subpar music, a small cast of somewhat uninteresting characters with poor character design (There are exceptions to this, but not that many), and pretty easy game play) FE 5 (Nice Gameplay and Music, but bad graphics, a lack luster story, and a difficulty that is really more annoying than hard make this game placed here) FE 2 (Good music, NES graphics, and decent gameplay get this game placed here) FE 8 (Too easy, lackluster music, and a small cast of characters in a game with so many classes make this game pretty bad) FE 1 (See FE 2, just that this game has worse gameplay) FE 3 (Absolutely terrible graphics, and bad gameplay make this game pretty damn bad. Good music and story though) This is all just my opinion though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ike-Mike Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 (edited) I thought FE7 was the best selling FE game. FE3 sold 100k more than FE7 did worldwide. Edited February 5, 2010 by Ike-Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just call me AL Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 Mine is All time fave: FE7, it never gets old for me. Want to know more about it: FE4, large maps still annoy me, and some characters can get broken, but I like the way different pairs bring about different results. Too bad that I.S. decided to waste a perfectly good plot here by making it two parts instead of three. First FE game I ever got: FE9, ah good times. Now if only I got my Wii back. Not a fave, but still enjoyable: FE6: Pretty fun, although some things are lacking for my tastes. FE11: Reclass is good, too bad about the lack of character development. Not likely to play for even a long time: FE10: Too unbalanced, maybe even too rushed. And I got tired of it very quickly. FE8: Too easy, and nothing all too special either.

Florete Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 Sure, okay. FE7: Amazing, changed my life. FE10: Spectacular, truly enjoyable. FE9: Very good, a bit on the easy side. FE8: Easy, but still enjoyable and with a lot of fun extras. FE4: Fun, but overall not my style. FE6: Okay, mostly annoying. FEDS: Meh. I could never get into it.

Anacybele Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 FE10 FE9 FE8 FE7 Yeah, my order of difficulty. XD FE10 is my favorite game of all time! It bettered everything I loved about PoR ('cept the support system, I don't use it), the characters, music, storyline, etc. Even Ike! RD Ike is the coolest Ike ever! x3 It was also the hardest game I ever beat. Darn game pushed me to my limit. o.o FE9 was tough too, but not quite as hard. Still an awesome game. It's my second favorite game of all time. <3 FE8 and FE7 are almost the same for me. FE7 is just a bit easier really since it just gradually gets more difficult. FE8 is pretty easy up until you choose between Ephraim and Eirika and then all of a sudden it gets hard. ._. Also, FE9 was my first game, then 10, then 8, then 7. I haven't played 11 enough to add it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krad Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 I have only played 6-11, and they are in order from most difficult to easiest (for me).

Peachy Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 Top Tier FE10 - The first one I've ever played, so I consider this one to be the best. It generally lacks a lot of balance though. High Tier FE 9 - It does start off real boring, but it is much more balanced between the units than in FE10. FE 7 - My personal favorite, but I don't consider it to be the best (If that makes any sense at all). A blast to play FE 8 - I also like this one. I only Tower abuse after I beat the game. This one is really short. Mid Tier FEDS - Reclassing was a nice attempt, but its the only thing that keeps me playing the game. Low Tier FE 3 - Storyline was very good, and it was just fun to play. FE 6 - Seize, Seize, Seize got really boring, and it had nothing to keep me playing, unlike FEDS FE 1 - See FE 6, only its graphics were bad. Music was okay though Bottom Tier FE 4 - Two Generations were cool, but it just seems like its to much of a chore to play. Also really short FE 5 - See FE 4, but without the second generation. Loli Tier FE 2 - I just think its too wierd with the class promotion system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blademaster! Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 Bottom Tier FE 4 - Two Generations were cool, but it just seems like its to much of a chore to play. Also really short How is FE 4 short? It's probably the second longest FE game (after FE 10). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
