PKL Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 Which are your personal favorites for each of: gameplay, story, music, characters, difficulty and others. I'll start, of course :P Gameplay: FE12 I just can't get enough of this one's gameplay. It's simple yet so complex, if you know what I mean. Story: FE9 I think this game was the best in terms of story pacing. I absolutely love it's story and feel it is very well done. Music: Tie between FE12 and FE13 Both of these games have awesome OSTs so I can't choose. Characters: FE10 I like the cast from FE9 and 10 a lot. Since FE10 has more and I like a lot of the new ones, I choose 10. Difficulty: FE12 Love H2 and H3 so much. So challenging, in the right ways.

ZemZem Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 (edited) Gameplay: FE7 I love how simple it is. And it's the most replayable one for me, since I found the gameplay awesome. Story: FE9 Same reasons as PKL stated. Plus, the Jill/Shiharam plot point was well-done. Music: Tie between FE5 and FE8 They both have some pretty awesome tracks I can't help but listen to a lot. Characters: Tie between FE8 and FE13 FE8: Sure, it has a small cast. But the fact that each character has a good amount of depth and backstory, plus actually having more incentive to join the war their in is really nice to see. FE13: The DLC conversations are pretty great, and the reason why I like these characters so much. Especially the Gen II characters, and Future Past/Future of Despair roped me in. Difficulty: FE4 Not too hard, not too easy. Just how I like it. Edited July 4, 2013 by Zeem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver Lightning Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 These are the FE games I've played (or in the process of playing): FE4, FE6, FE7, FE8, FE9, FE10, FE11, FE13 Gameplay: FE13 (its much of what I love about the game) Story: All of them Music: All of them Characters: All of them Difficulty: FE7 ...what can I say? Aside from gameplay and difficulty, all Fire Emblems have spoken to me with the same wonderful story, music, and characters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anacybele Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 (edited) Oh, simple for me. :) Gameplay: Awakening, no question. I love the pair up mechanic and how easy it is to build supports and stuff! It's also nicely paced and doesn't make you wait forever for the enemies to move (like in RD, errg. I do love that game's gameplay too though otherwise). Story: Radiant Dawn, nuff said. The different points of view you go between, the Crimean rebellion, the Laguz Alliance vs Begnion (and later everyone vs Begnion pretty much), and the liberation of Daein was interesting too. Part 3 was the best thing ever in an FE game too, imo. Characters: Both Awakening AND Radiant Dawn. They have the most characters I love, particularly Ike, Frederick, Kieran, Elincia, Boyd, Ranulf, Gaius, Lon'qu, Stahl, and Cordelia! They are just generally so well done in both games! Music: Radiant Dawn. Eternal Bond and Stalwarts Unite. Nuff said. <3 Difficulty: Radiant Dawn again since I couldn't get anywhere in normal mode in that thing. o_o Edited July 4, 2013 by Anacybele Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shadykid Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 (edited) Gameplay: FE12 and FE13 Story: FE4 and FE10 Characters: FE10 and FE13 Music: FE10 and FE13 Difficulty: FE12 as you can probably tell, my three favorite Fire Emblem games are 10, 12, and 13 (no particular order) Edited July 4, 2013 by shadykid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randa Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 Gameplay: FE8 I just enjoyed how the game played. Difficulty sucked but the split branch promotions and just the overall way it worked was a lot of fun to play. Story: FE9 Nothing else to add was the best paced and most well done. Music: FE13 I just love the music for this game. It has songs that suit every emotion and work with every major event. Characters: FE7 IMO it had the most in depth and fun to play with cast. Difficulty: FE11 and FE12 I find that the higher difficulties add enough of a challenge that you are never bored, but they aren't like lunatic+ which is just cheap.

Bryan Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 Gameplay: FE13 Love everything about playing this game. Pair up is amazing. Story: FE8/4 I really love 8's story, Lyon is so tragic and I love how the story makes me feel something at his demise, unlike 90% of the other bosses in this series. Four just has an amazing story, imo. Music: FE13 Pretty simple. Characters: FE8 I love FE8's cast with a passion. I like how it's small and I really liked having twin lords, and everyone else. I also really liked Lyon. Difficulty: FE8/13 I really like games where I can grind and FE8 and FE13 both have easy modes regardless, so I enjoy them both. FE13 is nice because I can pick harder or easier depending on my mood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSND Alter Dragon Boner Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 (edited) Gameplay: FE12 I just can't get enough of this one's gameplay. It has Dragons, if you know what I mean. Story: FE5 The story of Leif and how he develop from a naive ignorant noble into a dependable, yet still flawed Leader, his determination to save Eyvel, and actually suceed at doing so, the way they potray Leif as an inferior being compared to Seliph, the way the compare Finn and Trabant, the fact that their problem is NOT about World Destroying Illogical magical shit out of nowhere, and in fact, about the people of Thracia and the goverment. Even in the middle of inconsistency, all of the stuff in Thracia is much more interesting to explore, compared to the rest of the series Music: FE3 FE3 version of Dark Emperor Hardin and Theme of Love > FE12. I never liked Tearing Shadows that much, to be honest Characters: FE8 FE8 has perhaps the perfect example on how to make a small cast of extremely likable character and go from there. The core cast of Ephraim + Eirika, Innes, and L'arachel is perhaps the best in the series. Simple in concept, satisfying in practice. I think this is the only game where I actually liked the whole cast. Archanea would be close if FE12 support is not half assed like they do, and Sheeda x Marth is downright the best Lord + Lover combo in the entire series. By far. Shoutout for amazing characters in other games for Finn, Jeigan, and August Difficulty: FE12 While I never finished Lunatic, the ability to give BEXP, favoritism, and the map design that encourage fast plays is pretty amazing. The game throws free shit, so you can allocate your money in different areas. Its enjoyable, and the only reason why I did not play it more is because of the DS Emu Lag, and my 3DS can't play flashcart anymore Edited July 4, 2013 by I have a Dragon Boner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZemZem Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 Ah yeah, I forgot about FE8's cast. Everyone has a great amount of depth, and I don't think anyone is unlikable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emeraldfox Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 Gameplay: Shadow Dragon/Binding Blade Story: Path of Radiance and Radiant Dawn Music: Pfft iunno, Awakening(bs I really can't decide) Oh wait yes I can, Path of Radiance, Bittersweet Victory is great Characters: Awakening Difficulty: I never play for difficulty to be honest, I'll bs this too and say Awakening/Binding Blade/Thracia 776, ambush spawns make me wet.

General Horace Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 (edited) Gameplay: FE5, by far Story: Probably FE5 again, although FE8 is close Music: FE4 hands down, although FE13 has some nice tracks Characters: FE8, closely followed by the Jugdral Characters Difficulty: I actually think HHM is one of the best game modes overall, FE11 and FE12 hard modes are too robotic and boring.

Shin Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 Gameplay: FE9 - Combined the best elements of FE4 and the GBA games Story: FE5 - It's not "gasp ancient evil being revived by sorcerer who happens to command dragon-flying army" Music: FE4 - Chapter 4 map theme and recruitment theme so good Characters: FE4 - They're strange but not FE13 "lol nobody can see me" stupid. Difficulty: FE6HM - You actually need to think a lot. Rather than "my enemies have really high stats and forged weapons". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sublime Manic Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 Gameplay: FE5 Reviving a lot of these mechanics in future games would be great, I think. Story: FE4 (Jugdral in general, though, so shout-out to FE5) Love the scale and presentation of it. Music: FE13 Because duh. Characters: indeterminable I like and dislike plenty of characters from every FE. Difficulty: indeterminable I don't play them nearly often enough but I was going to pick FE11/12, because the variety of difficulties to choose from combined with a lack of skills that can let you BS your way through enemies if you get lucky with activation rates is very respectable. Conversely, making fewer and fewer units viable (and especially making classes unviable due to caps) is not, I then realized. So fuck it; can't decide.

Knight Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 Gameplay: It's hard to choose between FE10's epic battles, or FE7's love of villages and chests threatened by thieves and bandits. I guess if threatened with a gun, FE7. Story: FE9, Ike's story was fun, FE9 is just really good there, and I'd guess FE4 gets 2nd Music: FE4, I like the cool map themes Characters: Hmm, hard to choose between 13, 10, 4 or 7. I won't answer Difficulty: 7 or 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melonhead Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 Gameplay: FE10, it just feels best to me. FE13 probably a close second. Story: FE9, just a cool story all around. Music: FE11-WAHHHHTTyeah, I like the music and the overworld themes from this one. I forget the name of it, but Michalis's chapter theme was awesome. Characters: FE10 probably. Just a huge cast overall. Difficulty: FE13, hard mode is at the point where it's sort of easy to get through, but still I can't slack off and throw units at the enemy like in normal mode.
