If you were to get a Rom of an older FE game, which would you get?

[The_Wolf_Prince]

I'm taking recomdations, just to see what's out there.

[Metal Rabbit]

this doesn't belong in Rom HACKING.

[Florete]

I've already got them for 3, 4, 5, and 6, so....I've only beaten 6 and am playing 4.

[Knife]

I already have 6, but it was seriously one of the most boring games ever.

I would like to try FE4.

[Serene]

I'd probably get Geology, but I'm to lazy to look around. (that and the fact my computer has no internet)

[The_Wolf_Prince]

Alright, thanks everyone.

I agree. It was the first FE I just plain didn't like.

Well the music was the same on each map (I'm at around the 9th chapter) and the victory requirements were only "Seize". The only redeeming feature is the vast amount of characters. I really only want to beat it because it's a prequel to Blazing Sword, otherwise, I would've dumped it around the 3rd chapter.

Which I did

[Ϲharlie]

I have roms for the first seven games. I don't use them very often, though. =/

[Kyrra]

Geneaology of the Holy War definitely. It sounds very different from all the other FE games.

[Rehab]

Holy War.

[CGV]

FE4 because I've heard good things about it

[Celice]

To echo the others, Genealogy of the Holy war, the fourth game. Although, Gaiden isn't bad either.

[Suzaku]

i think it did belone in Rom hacking but ok

[Celice]

If he was asking what game to modify. But he was more likely to be asking what to play >.>

[Camus The Dark Knight]

Why pick one when you can get them all?

I personally enjoy playing FE3 the most followed by FE5.

[Liz]

something seems to attract me to 3 4 and 5.......

especially 5

[Sir Canas]

I have FE 7-10 as the actual games, and I have FE 2 (Gaiden) and FE 6 (Sealed Sword) as roms, so that leaves FE 3 (which includes FE 1), FE 4 and FE 5... Out of those three I'd probably say either 4 or 5. I've heard FE5 is the one most like the GBA games - which would suit me since I'm heavily accustomed to them. But then again, people seem to be raving about FE4 so I want to see what all the fuss is about. Actually, it's definatly has to be FE4 for me. I suppose I won't care if it's a bit different to the GBA FE's if it's an excellent game - which at the end of the day, is the only thing that matters. I want to play FE3 too, but I'll wait until I've finished FE DS first. But I won't be downloading any FE roms for a while, since at the moment I'm juggling between Gaiden, Sealed Sword, Sacred Stones and Radient Dawn :P.

The GBA Fire Emblems are basically a hacked Thracia done thrice in a row with portable-esque graphics and refined mechanics :/

I've been playing Gaiden on the PowerPak that just came--surprisingly, the bank issue isn't bad on the actual NES. It's fun enough, unless you have some issue with old skool games or black sheep games :/

(First paragraph response) Is that a bad thing?

I've been playing Gaiden on 1980-games.com and am enjoying it. I love old skool games more than most modern games, and always have a soft spot for black sheep games - for example, Zelda II: Adventure of Link is one of my favorite Zelda games.

To me, they felt the most boring because of that, but for you, that just means you'd find Thracia rather similar, as you expected :/

[SuperTroll Maxim Lapierre]

FE3(nice story and decent characters and Marth, who is one of my favorite lords) or FE4(hax characters).

FE5 will usually stress one out, but it can be enjoyable.

[DragonBladeSniper]

probably FE4 cuz I have already tried everything from FE6-10, FE1-3 I don't like marth enough, FE2 sounds weird and FE5 sounds to hard.

[Sir Canas]

You shouldn't dismiss FE 2 because it sounds weird. I'm playing FE 2 (Gaiden) right now, and it is an excellent game. It is a bit different to the recent (6-10) FEs (although it has some striking simularities to FE 8: Sacred Stones) yes, but that doesn't make it any less enjoyable (infact I'm playing both 2 and 6 right now, and I'm enjoying FE 2 more). You should really give the game a chance - you might be pleasantly suprised about how much you enjoy it (like me). Also you really shouldn't dismiss FE 1-3 because you don't like a single character (although I suggest waiting for FE DS), nor should you dismiss FE 5 because it is hard (you scared of a little challenge ;). Although I haven't played FE 1, 3 and 5 (therefore can't give my own personal opinion like I did with FE 2) (although I want to play them, and plan to) I still suggest you give them a chance.
