Fireman Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 I know lots of people who like the story, including myself. I don't know why critics didn't like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Florete Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 I personally loved it. Best FE story I've ever read. I don't understand why people don't like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CGV Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 I liked the story. Best thing I've read Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadrach Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 Personally, I liked it. I'm not sure why some people don't like it, because I haven't heard anyone who doesn't like it explain why. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mufasa Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 I liked it. I'm sure I could find something wrong if I were to be over-critical, but overall I enjoyed it very much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Songbird Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 I really really liked it. It tied up everything that was forshadowed in FE9, such as the dark god in the medallion, and the hint of the laguz and Begnion going to war during the Janaff-Lucia supports. Besides, I just found it an intriguing story overall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doom103 Posted June 27, 2008 Author Share Posted June 27, 2008 so did I. i still cant understand why people wouldn't like the story Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dily Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 I think the people who didn't like it couldn't get past Part one. "Deeer! This is exactly like the previous game!!! DEER!" (I heard a couple critics say that...well, a less exaggerated form of that) When, in fact, if they would have progressed, they would have seen that Part one was SUPPOSED to be similar to Path a Radiance, setting up the whole Pelleas-being-set-up storyline. It's just like people who watch the first ten minutes of a movie and automatically run to their dumb blogs and "critique" it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fireman Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 Yeah, when I read an article about it, the person who wrote the article said that people didn't like the storyline because they were basing their opinions solely on Part 1(and perhaps Part 2).

Not Changed by VASM :( Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 All parts (Save part 4) is somehow remenicent of a previous FE Part one: PoR Part two: Dark Dragon Part three: Sealed Sword Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zanarkin Posted June 28, 2008 Share Posted June 28, 2008 (edited) i love this story and like some people said i don't know why critics don't like it Edited June 28, 2008 by Fireemblemfan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hibari Posted June 28, 2008 Share Posted June 28, 2008 Meh. To each his own, I guess. I actually liked the story though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Knight Posted June 28, 2008 Share Posted June 28, 2008 well I liked it. But near the end they rushed it. That doesn't mean it wasn't good. it just like all stories I write and my stories almost always rush and turn out bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Klingy Posted June 29, 2008 Share Posted June 29, 2008 Best FE story ever. That's my opinion. The reviewers obviously played only part 1, which is pretty generic, part 2 was good, and by the end of part 3 I was almost speechless. I say one site that gave RD a 5/10 in story, and Super Mario Galaxy [a game with almost NO plot] a 7. ARE THEY INSANE?! The reviews of RD are all wrong. I want to send hate mail to everyone who reviewed it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Florete Posted June 29, 2008 Share Posted June 29, 2008 Super Mario Galaxy's story was a freakin' bedtime story. That game disappointed me. Anyone saying RD has a bad story obviously didn't get past part 1 or didn't read it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lost_Soul_Renault Posted June 29, 2008 Share Posted June 29, 2008 Super Mario Galaxy's story was a freakin' bedtime story. That game disappointed me. Anyone saying RD has a bad story obviously didn't get past part 1 or didn't read it. whats wrong with bedtime stories? I thought it was charming... anyways I liked RD's plot... the thing I hated was how the chapters jumped around too much in part 1. It would of been alot better and smoother with 5 more chapters to transition the storyline better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Klingy Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 Super Mario Galaxy's story was a freakin' bedtime story. That game disappointed me. Anyone saying RD has a bad story obviously didn't get past part 1 or didn't read it. I heared that some reviewers skipped all the story sections and went straight to the battles. And on the subject of SMG, they left a lot of stuff unrevealed about Rosalina's past, (there's probably a huge amount of internet speculation) which was interesting, but lets move discussion about SMG to the other games forum and get back to RD.

Fireman Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 Many reviewers simply judge a game by what they see, and they usually try to rush through the game, so I suppose they can't really enjoy everything about the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well you can't blame them, they probably have to play and beat, two, maybe three or more, games a week, and if they are games as long as FE they need to be a bit quick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyrra Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 Mmm, A lot of friends I know who own the game said that the story ran into a wall at the end of part 3 so to block the main parties from killing each other, they randomly stopped everything. I thought that was stupid because if it was some dumb writer's block then they wouldn't have based a third of the game around it, now would they have?

I thought that was stupid because if it was some dumb writer's block then they wouldn't have based a third of the game around it, now would they have? that is BS! by any chance, did your friends play PoR? because if they did, they would have known that a war of epic proportions such as this one would have released Yune. they didn't randomly stop it. after all, PoR was all about "don't go into war, it may release the dark god." all of RD was about the events that lead to this situation in which Yune was released. it wasn't about "hey, lets have some random characters get into a war and then lets make up some excuse so that they join forces." all was foreshadowed ever since PoR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hibari Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 The only problem with the game I had was Part One. The Dawn Brigade. We learn next to nothing about them. Pretty much everything in the introduction section is all we know. It kind of made it hard to get into the characters, really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightmare Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 Now that I've beat RD (just a few moments ago) I can have a say in this. I thought the story was nothing short of incredible. The writing wasn't as good as PoR, but the story itself was on par, maybe even surpassed it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
