Rend Keaven Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 It's been 3 months since I've beaten FE4 for the first time. Playing through this long game was an experience I really enjoyed and would recommend hardcore fans to experience. However, it's a game I don't see myself replaying for a long time. Don't get me wrong, this game has replay value (getting a better ranking, trying different pairings, going for a substitute only run etc), but after 60 hours of game play (yes, some of those hours involved arena grinding...), I was kind of FE4'd out. .I made this topic, for curiosity sake, to ask those who really loved FE4 and even those who consider it their favorite: When do you go back to replaying this very long game after completing it?

OliKad Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 I played it twice at only a 3-month interval, and I'll probably do a 3rd run in the near future. However, since I only played it that amount of times, you shouldn't really take my experience seriously. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ansem Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 i play it a lot mostly hacks of it, seldom vanilla, closest i get is rm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wheelsonfire Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 In the middle of chapter 8 of my first play through and see why many people only play it once... I plan on playing the at least two more times so, then probably putting it down for a while after that... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
salinea Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 As I start my third playthrough, I think it will be a yearly event. Maybe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roxas Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 Every couple of years or so. I probably have logged at least three playthroughs of vanilla since 2009, but I've done at least 10+ runs of various hacks (binary, inflation, lex, tordo, etc. lol) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darros Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 When I first beat it I replayed it immediately. I've replayed it like at least ten times, but lately I've been trying to focus on cleaning out my backlog instead of replaying old games. I'd love to replay it again though soon. I'd easily call it my favorite game of all time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vaximillian Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 I'm about to begin Chapter 9 now, and already thinking with replaying the game with some different pairings. This is a very good game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mega Koopa Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 I haven't even beaten the game once, I find the gameplay too tedious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darrman Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 I first played FE4 about a year and a half ago, and am currently on Chapter 9 of my third playthrough. I play it when I'm in the mood for it; which is often enough, what with it being my favourite game in the franchise and all. how I haven't ragequitted from anyone important dying in that run which is also an ironman yet...

Yojinbo Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 I stopped playing it about 1.5 years ago I believe, after ditching my attempt to LTC run this thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Etrurian emperor Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 I have played through it about two times now. I want to do a third run but I've switched computers since then and getting it up, translated and running seems like such a chore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Draco Knight Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 When I first beat it I replayed it immediately. I've replayed it like at least ten times Pretty much this, altough this brought me to become tired of this game. The last time I played It was probably 2 years ago. Still, in the future, I may be replaying this game again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FireemblemGeo Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 I've played this game at least 5 times back in the 90s in Vietnam when it first came out in Japanese even though I didn't understand a word of it. I didn't even know what name it called in English, I was just a little kid back then. I was still be able to work out a few simple calculations, pairing system, forged 100 kills weapons and most of the secret events, no in-depth calculation nor love growth like you guys have today but I absolutely love it. 20 years later and here I am, found the English name of it, found this dedicated forum, English translation patch, emulator and started play it again. It's like new to me as I forgot all of events, secret or not. I get to end of Chapter 8 now and I understand the story line a lot clearer compare to before. I plan to re-run it to get AAAA ranking. Looking at my XBone and PS4 gathering dust as I hardly play them even though there are so many modern games with better graphic, I guess your best childhood games will follow you forever.

Lantairu Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 I beat it around two years ago, and I've fully played through it two more times. The first time with Gharnef's patch, the next with Twilkitri, and this past time back in October on the new (ish: been out for a few months now) Project Naga patch. I've half played it countless other times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterIceTeaPeach Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 Honestly after finishing the LP I think to play it again because I found out new interesting pairing ideas I want to try out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rinehart Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 I've played the vanilla version at least half a dozen times. It's one of my favorite games of all time, and I still haven't gotten tired of the characters and the story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonMendez Posted December 25, 2016 Share Posted December 25, 2016 Well I love the game and usually play it two or three times a year and I've been doing this for 3 years. Fun game and it's nice to try out something different than what you normally use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Excellen Browning Posted December 25, 2016 Share Posted December 25, 2016 I revisit genealogy maybe once every two years. Its a fun little game and the way I play it has changed over the years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inference Posted December 25, 2016 Share Posted December 25, 2016 (edited) The very nature of the game sort of leans against creativity unless you impose your own restrictions, as you can't will Sigurd and Seliph to stop being game-controlling gods. Nothing anyone else does matters too much. But I did clock in some hundreds of hours and two playthroughs before realizing that, for what it's worth.

Koumal8 Posted December 25, 2016 Share Posted December 25, 2016 Whenever I can. What I do is I keep Snes9x FE4 windows always open but hidden and have it turn up whenever I realize I have like 4 hours of spare time to play at least a chapter and a half. I have two more sets of pairings I want to try and all the binary hacks to play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
