Ace Tactician Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 I was first introduced to the Fire Emblem series by my stepbrother, that was when I first played FE7. I played his copy of FE7 and got hooked on the series. I've played FE7, FE9, FE10, FE8, and FE11 in that order. I also played SSBM and was introduced to Marth and Roy and also SSBB, although to this day I still haven't gotten around to emulating so I can play FE6 and FE12. I'll probably get around to that after or before I play FE13, it depends on how bored I get waiting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Komeiji Koishi Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 That works too. Tvtropes :P Yes it does. Awesome site/10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mimgrim Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 Though the first time I saw fire emblem characters was SSBM I didn't know who they were or who thye belonged and didn't care enough to look them up... About a year or 2 or 3 later (I got SSBM kinda late XD) I get a Nintend Power magizine and end up subscribing to it. Couple months later I get a issue that was dedicated basicly to new RPG games comming out and one of them was Fire Emblem Shadow Dragon and I thought it looked interesting so I waited for it to come out and got it and have been a fan of FE ever since.

Guy Starwind Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 I kinda learned about the games by Smash Bros. However, when FE7 came out for the US I thought the commercial looked dumb as hell but then a friend said I should try it. Long story short I stole that game from him(which I should mention he was burrowing it) and now I hangout on forums talking about Fire Emblem.

arvilino Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 Melee, though I believe that was still before FE7's Europe release so I didn't actually really care to look for Fire Emblem. Then I read a big preview about Fire Emblem(Blazing Sword) in an issue of Nintendo Official Magazine and it looked interesting so I bought it.

MJThom_2009 Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 I never heard of Fire Emblem until the commercial for 7 came out in america. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigerspike Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 Played as Marth and Roy in Smash Bros. Having been a fan of Tactics Ogre and Final Fantasy Tactics, Fire Emblem sounded interesting. I bought Sacred Stones and have been hooked ever since. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ike-Mike Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 SSBM It fully got my interest though when a friend mentioned he was recently playing a GBA game of the same name Marth and Roy are supposedly from. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Book of Ereshkigal Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 (edited) My grandparents got me FE8 for my birthday. (Like... my 11th birthday? I think? I'm not sure.) Edited November 29, 2012 by L95 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ercdouken Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 I am one of the many who found FE out by SSBM, but it wasn't until 6-7 years later that after making a Mugen video using the FE song from Melee, the idea of playing a FE game on an emulator came to my mind.

Gold Vanguard Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 Mines is kinda odd. When I was 7 I was on gamefly looking for games to buy.I went to the RPG section on GameCube and looked through. Then I saw this game called" Fire Emblem Path of Radiance" and loved the gameplay. Played it, loved it, got stolen, became sad. I then learn't there was more in the series and bought FE7 and 8. Later I got Radiant Dawn for Wii. Then I got on Internet forums and well......that's a story for another time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darros Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 At my friends house, they had a huge bad of GBA games. I was introduced to FE7 there, only a played a bit and moved on. About a year later I bought FE11 at a store, because I was like "hey that's that game I liked". Things spiraled from there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redturtle806 Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 I was shopping with my moms at Target when I saw the FE 7 strategy guide. I skimmed though it, and I thought the characters looked pretty neat. Also I liked how it looked like Advance Wars, another all time favorite of mine. So I used my cash I had saved up mowing lawns and got it. At the time I had no idea how awesome the game I had just bought was. What's even better was I showed it to my friends and 4 of us would skip gym to do link battles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weebos Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 Heard of it through Smash Bros. but Nintendo Power's articles on Fire Emblem 7 spurred me to purchase it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NinjaMonkey Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 Played Melee, was introduced to Marth and Roy but didn't get too interested in FE at this point.Played Brawl, was introduced to Ike, was finally at that point when I was interested enough to pick up PoR. This, except change PoR to RD (I eventually played PoR afterwards). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tenkiforecast Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 Like most people, I first learned about the series by playing SSBM and unlocking Marth and Roy. I did not think anything else of it, I knew there were games/series that were not brought to the US shores. What actually got me into FE was my cousin playing FE7 and talking about how difficult the game was. The two of us barely being teenagers, difficult meant Lyn Normal mode. ... Still kind of humiliated when I say that. Anyway, because I was a bandwagon person in regards to my relatives at the time, I decided to get it. I fell in love with the game and its actual degree of difficulty compared to some of the others I'd played recently. It expanded from there.

Constable Reggie Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 (edited) I actually had a friend in elementary that had Fe7 and showed me the game while on a field trip ("there's a guy that throws around an axe that's connected by a chain!"), and I thought it looked cool enough to warrant buying it myself. This was before I ever played Melee. Edited November 30, 2012 by Davinatorman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ein Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 Played Melee and mained the fuck out of Roy while my brother preferred Marth. Then I bought FE7 when it was released and my brother and I freakin loved it and now I dislike the series as a whole. Funny how things work out.

TwinBlade Posted December 1, 2012 Author Share Posted December 1, 2012 Played Melee and mained the fuck out of Roy while my brother preferred Marth. Then I bought FE7 when it was released and my brother and I freakin loved it and now I dislike the series as a whole. Funny how things work out. What are you still doing here then? Lol kidding, I've been unable to find a startegy RPG medieval style game good enough to ever consider replacing Fire Emblem. There's not too many Medieval Strategy games, and I refuse to play anything but medieval games. If you have any suggestions guys I'd love to hear them, need to occupy myself whilst waiting for FE Awakening (since my JP 3ds broke...) on a similar note I am looking for a new one if anyone just so happens to want to get rid of theirs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agro Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 Thanks for all the responses, love reading them! edit: First discovered FE in 1994, after I'd been playing Shining Force: The Legacy of the Gods for close to 2 years. I was only 5. I've pretty much grown up playing these games. My parents knew what a new FE game being released meant, either another new system + the game, or just the game. And there was no gray area, it happened. They still hold it against me and still to this day wonder why I play FE. Wow, you were playing the Japanese versions of FE? That's some dedication there.
