Gemini-Saga Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 My Impressions, Wall Text Ahead. I use Emulator so I used AR to get the Elysian Whip. General: I played on Normal mode since there isn’t prologue on Hard… what is a Pity but what can I do… I found the game quite enjoying, better than my experience on FE3 Book 1, of course the “Actual” mechanics helped but I found the game more charismatic… In the beginning I strange the Lv up… After play Radiant Dawn you get a Game where 90% get 0 Res is something to Worry… Shooter class is something that I love, I didn’t need to waste time with Archers and they are way more useful with their kind of weapons. Bows for Generals are an awesome thing if you get screwed with Archer and Hunters, get a General… I miss the Soldier > Halberdier class, well lets hope to put them in the next FE as playable unit. I miss the BEXP, but arenas is the fastest way of training healers… it’s very effective. I really hope that if they DO remake FE3 Book2, that it be on Wii with the same System of RD, third tiers… and Bonus Transfer. I really hope they give us some Trial Maps with Enemy only units to be unlocked… this is something I miss since FE9. Graphics: I love the new portraits(Except Older Marth… Younger one is better)… it gave the Units more charisma and live. I like the Idea of keeping the Weapon Sprites of back games. The animations are quite Smooth The new Unit Design and Animations are awesome (Especially Mamkute and Magics), but I’m disappointed with the Criticals… they are Worse than Path of Radiance ¬¬ How could IS forgot the acrobatical animations of Swordmaster, the magical Triangle of Sages etc… I didn’t have a problem with the lack of colors for character unique characteristic, but to be fair they made them have the right hair color. History: I can’t say much here because I don’t understand Japanese ._.’, I will talk about it after the English version is out (I Talking about the Story changes) GamePlay: Pretty much alike all others FE… The good point is that you can buy in the Battle Preparation… its not like FE9-FE10(Sad isn’t it =\) but at least you can have weapons any time. The Upgrade System is Way better than the Forging System HOWERVER it’s WAY Broken too… you can Upgrade Powerful weapons and make them OHKO units… just arena abuse for money and and upgrade, this system is good because you can make heavy weapons lighter for the “weak” Units and you can train them easily. But it need some Restriction Even more with Online play… I like and dislike the new gaiden chapters requirements… the good part is that you have a excuse to kill annoying units… the bad is that you can’t have all you units at the same time… Well nothing is perfect. The class Swap, I thing it’s a Great Addiction to de Series, different from other SRPG you need to watch for the Unit personal Growls other wise you can make the unit Suck even more. I’m disappointed with Female Units don’t have a second set for Class Swap… I truly wanted a Female Dark Magic and a Female Hero =\ Thieves are the most useless class in the game ._.’ they can’t class swap, and can’t steal weapons WTF ¬¬ and worse they can’t promote… so… if you wanted another Jaffar/Volke… forget =\ Units: My units that I used and Bring to the last chapter as well the pictures of the stats before killing the Final Boss. Marth: He is Roy without the sucking late promotion, and with a Infinite Dragon Killer, I Always thought Marth one of the worst lords of FE (Leaf is the Worst >_>), but now I think him to be at the same Level of Eliwood… (Third place with Lyn and Micaiah). http://i519.photobucket.com/albums/u354/ge...0DS/Marth-1.jpg Freyr: IMO the best Paladin in the game, one of the few units that have 4 stats with more than 10 on level 10. I hope the USA version let we start the Prologue on the Hard Mode. http://i519.photobucket.com/albums/u354/ge...%20DS/Freyr.jpg Chiki: I love this girl, she was Awesome on FE3 times and she still is… and the best part is that you don’t run off Dragon Stones since you get Fire Stones, unlike FE6 and FE8 when you just have one stone with 40 uses =\. This is one the few units that I’m proud to Baby until become THE unit :) http://i519.photobucket.com/albums/u354/ge...%20DS/Chiki.jpg Gato: Well What can I say… he gave the Worm that I could make Marick and Linda PWNS in the last chapter… and one of the few pre promoted units that doesn’t complete sucks. http://i519.photobucket.com/albums/u354/ge...m%20DS/Gato.jpg Hardin: Just use him because he came on high level than most units at the same time, a Solid unit but I have the felling that I got Screwed with him. http://i519.photobucket.com/albums/u354/ge...20DS/Hardin.jpg Jake: Wow, Shooters are news for me but they are very useful, I hope they put this class along side with Soldier in the next FE(Player useful). http://i519.photobucket.com/albums/u354/ge...m%20DS/Jake.jpg Katua: The best Pegasus on my team. She didn’t get STR screwed like Sheeda so she could kill strong enemies easily. http://i519.photobucket.com/albums/u354/ge...%20DS/Katua.jpg Linda: My fav Mage in FE story (Sorry Ilyana, Canas, Micaiah and Pelleas), she does great job every time I get her, not always she become Godly but just to be a Mage she has a great advantage in this game. http://i519.photobucket.com/albums/u354/ge...%20DS/Linda.jpg Marich: Other mage that I like to use (Excalibur FTWS), became a double with Linda, can heal and exterminate Lows units. http://i519.photobucket.com/albums/u354/ge...20DS/Marich.jpg Minerva: The only pre pomoted unit that I used… Thank goodness that IS like the Idea of giving Dragon Riders Axe instead of Sword so she became quite useful, since the caps are no longer 20 all pre promoted units are in serious disadvantage, but she could hold her self well AND I love red hair Dragon Knights. http://i519.photobucket.com/albums/u354/ge...S/Minerva-1.jpg Navarre: Great as Swordmaster, but he got screwed in my playthrough, so he was out shadowed by Raddy. http://i519.photobucket.com/albums/u354/ge...S/Navarre-1.jpg Oguma: My hero in the game, he was a beast in the last levels with the right weapons to bad I miss the Hero Jump critical… it would be perfect for the finishing blows. http://i519.photobucket.com/albums/u354/ge...0DS/Oguma-1.jpg Raddy: He was the Guy in this game, baby him was the best thing I did… he turned out one of my best units. Next time I try the Mercenary that came with him. http://i519.photobucket.com/albums/u354/ge...0DS/Raddy-1.jpg Rena: She was left aside for good part of the game… Nana was way better in the as a Bishop… however she got Screwes and I tried Rena again… she turned out to became blessed and got good magic to defend her self… Nana got Speed Screwed… http://i519.photobucket.com/albums/u354/ge...20DS/Rena-1.jpg Roger: He was my Bow User… all my bow users got screwed and suck like hell so I read in the forums that General could use Bows and I tried him… I did the right choice, I normally don’t like Amour units but this one turned out awesome… and the bow animation is cool (simple but cool). http://i519.photobucket.com/albums/u354/ge...0DS/Roger-1.jpg Sheeda: the only unit to cap 3 stats as first class however HP and STR too low to be good at the end of the game… to bad I didn’t found another wind Spear… she could have being used more… http://i519.photobucket.com/albums/u354/ge...DS/Sheeda-1.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Celice Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 to bad I didn’t found another wind Spear… she could have being used more… There's at least one in a Gaiden, one Sheeda comes with, and one you can buy in chapter 8. I'm pretty sure there's some more in other shops too :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phoenix Wright Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 Do you guys mind telling me what the critical animations are for the SM, Heroes and paladins or just tell me a site where I can see them. I really want to see them. BTW: That's a pretty good team to me. Did you arena abuse or anything? :) (Probably not right?) Was this one of the best on the handhelds or is 7 still better?

I did some Arena Abuse to get the units to lvl 20 ( first Promotion) so I could train the Healers Nana and Rena... "There's at least one in a Gaiden, one Sheeda comes with, and one you can buy in chapter 8. I'm pretty sure there's some more in other shops too :/" I didn't went to gaidens in the first playtrought... I used the 2 that I found... I used Sheeda a good part on the game till I train Katua... Sheeda were outclassed =\ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kintenbo Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 Wait, did I just read "thieves are the most useless units in the game"? So, that means you can't open chests or steal nonweapon items with them anymore? Does that mean their ability to see through fog very well is gone? By the way, thieves couldn't steal weapons in the Gameboy Advance Fire Emblems as well, so I don't understand your complaint about that. (I'm not sure about the previous ones) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Celice Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 Stealing weapons was a cool feature in Thracia, which was removed from the GBA games. It came back, which was reall nice, but left again. It would have been nice to include, but it wasn't a feature of the original, so it's not really a problem. They can open chests and doors without keys, but Marth can open chests with the Fire Emblem. Ricardo is complete crap. Julian isn't much better, now that the stats don't all cap at 20. They're used to grab treasure and run, mostly. I don't think they offer any added range in Wi-Fi, as all units have a two-space view. There is no fog of war in the original--this didn't come into the series until Thracia, the fifth game, so there's none in this game now :/ BTW: That's a pretty good team to me. Did you arena abuse or anything? smile.gif (Probably not right?) Was this one of the best on the handhelds or is 7 still better? To me, Rekka (FE7) was one of the worst of the series (none are bad though) >.> Compared to it, though, a lot of the American/European fans instantly give all their love to it, as it's their first game in the series--everyone does this. Along with this game being a remake of a game from the late 80s, you have a GBA-esque game that's rather short, easy, but still fun. There's hardly a story--it's a late 80s game. Expect to run through this game in less than 15 hours. BTW: That's a pretty good team to me. Did you arena abuse or anything? smile.gif (Probably not right?) Was this one of the best on the handhelds or is 7 still better? Well, you could've forged a bunch of power on the weapons, making them last long by killing things faster :/ Also, the Hammerne Staff now how an overpowered 12 uses, so as long as you hold on to one of the weapons, it'd never run out. Do you guys mind telling me what the critical animations are for the SM, Heroes and paladins or just tell me a site where I can see them. I really want to see them. This game is, sadly, the GBA Fire Emblems redone in a different style, battle animations included. Swordmasters, their first critical they flip through the air and land on the enemy. Can't remember the second. Heroes, they hold their weapon behind them before they leap through the air--can't really remember the second. Paladins, if memory serves, on the first attack have their horse wail as it stands on its back two feat and charges the enemy. For the second attack with swords, a little twirl as done before the stab, or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

About the first and second thing, do all classes have 2 criticals!? Edited August 17, 2008 by FEFL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Celice Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 I believe so, for the classes who have two animations. Magic users I think are left out :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magic users I think are left out :/ Magic user I just see them opening the book =\ (Mages) others I don't Remember. I prefere to give Marth a "Master Key" (5 uses :D) and make him open doors and the FE open the chests and I don't need to waste space with Thieves (Except in maps that have too much Doors). I like this game the same amount of FE7... since my first FE is FE6... Now I see that FE6 is a Try of "Remake" FE1 with new chars ._.' Now I'm playing to get all gaiden chars... and is the most difficult thing EVER... lose at least 2 chars per map is killing me >_< _-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------_ My Second PlayThrough Impressions: I played on normal again to test Norn that is only Available on Normal mode. Norn: She has the best speed of All my chars... pretty Solid Started Slowly but gain some good Stats Ups after lv 12 http://i519.photobucket.com/albums/u354/ge...m%20DS/Norn.jpg Oguma: Again he is a Beast with Axes >_> he would make a Good fight with Ike(PoR) http://i519.photobucket.com/albums/u354/ge...0DS/OgumaP2.jpg Rena: This time she Became A LOT better even I didn't change her class. Awesome with Staves. http://i519.photobucket.com/albums/u354/ge...20DS/RenaP2.jpg Nagi: She is a a Lot Good turn out almost the same as Chiki by the same Lv On harder difficulties she would be awesome :D http://i519.photobucket.com/albums/u354/ge...m%20DS/Nagi.jpg Marth: This time I gave him some Itens to STR Up and he handle him self although I didn't use him to kill de thinal Boss. http://i519.photobucket.com/albums/u354/ge...0DS/MarthP2.jpg Maria: Better this time, since All My characters Were dead Save for Minerva, the Warrior of chapter 20x and Marth Sister. she was there because she was more useful than the warrior. http://i519.photobucket.com/albums/u354/ge...%20DS/Maria.jpg Minerva: Got Got better this time but, her bases kill her... [Forgot to take Screen] Linda: She is a monster >_< My good she kills every thing in sight http://i519.photobucket.com/albums/u354/ge...0DS/LindaP2.jpg Est: I prefer her as a Dragon Knight but since I killed Sheeda... I gave her the Falcon Promotion. http://i519.photobucket.com/albums/u354/ge...em%20DS/Est.jpg Horus: I give him some Speed Wings and he doesn't disappoints, not as Good as my last General, but he kills better with Bows http://i519.photobucket.com/albums/u354/ge...%20DS/Horus.jpg Etzel: I gave him some stats ups itens (2 Mags, 2 Speed and 1 Res) if he got better Bases (I hope in Hard Mode he gets :D) he will turn a good rival to Marich :P (Dark Magic user Fan Boy Mode OFF) http://i519.photobucket.com/albums/u354/ge...%20DS/Etzel.jpg Jake: No comments, Shooters save the day :z http://i519.photobucket.com/albums/u354/ge...20DS/JakeP2.jpg Athena: The RNG were too bad with her, every time she got good levels Marth died... She would have at least 20 os Strenth and capped speed if I didn't had to Restart... Welll she was good so so in the end... http://i519.photobucket.com/albums/u354/ge...20DS/Athena.jpg Barts: Not the best unit in the game but he could tank very well and give support with the bow. http://i519.photobucket.com/albums/u354/ge...%20DS/Barts.jpg Chiki: What can I say she as better than Nagi she got all almost all levels up with 4 stat no less. http://i519.photobucket.com/albums/u354/ge...0DS/ChikiP2.jpg Daros: The strongest unit of my party, although he could die easily he could kill almost ALL Magic users in one blow, yes he saved me some times. http://i519.photobucket.com/albums/u354/ge...%20DS/Daros.jpg I realy hope the Enemy Recrutable units gets better bases, some characters can be awesome with them... other wise is 90% of Sucking... I don't if anyone will ready this... so here is my Impressions. Edited August 24, 2008 by Gemini-Saga Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
