Because of how dated it is, it's hard for me to play but I enjoy watching it with he and his friends' commentary. I just remembered. I think Tryhard was one of Ray's friends on that commentary.

Tuvy Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 I have played Gaiden. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reality Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 I played it to completion one year ago. I still call BS on it's "fun enough for everyone to try once" and think it should be amended to "mapmakers only should try it once". I remember it being more annoying than hard, and the highlights never managed to outweigh the foul depths of the map design. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maybe Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 i played it a while back and thought it was terrible, even for its time i picked it up again a few days back and had a ton of fun and i loved it it was really fun once my characters were actually good since there's so much more variety in what they can do than in a lot of the other games a lot of the music is also really nice and interesting i am looking forward to the remake a lot more now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueBloodEmblazer Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 I played Awakening first, and I was hooked. Afterward I played FE7 and FE8. Never got the play tellius or the Japan games though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Malign Knight Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 I actualy played it. It was really fun, altough It hasn't definitely aged that well, unlike other old FE games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pikappa93 Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 I knew Gaiden existed before the FE Direct and I knew who the protagonists were. I also kind of knew the plot, let's say that I realized the trailer was about Gaiden the moment thei mentioned Duma and Mila. I started playing it after the Echoes announcement and I'm currently at Chapter 3. I've had a hard time getting used to graphics and gameplay, but I'm actually enjoying it right now. Like some of you said however, it really didn't age that well and feels very dated. I'm very curious to see how they will manage certain game mechanics in the remake. I think there is no need to over modernize it, it just has to be polished and expanded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blinkingbrave Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 Been there, done that a few months ago. It was... okay. I got about a third of the way through before I got bored? The game hadn't aged well at all, and while I wanted to enjoy it, I knew the whole time that I'd be happier playing any of the games that came after it. Hopefully, IS drags it into the modern gaming world, but we'll see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iavasechui Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 (edited) I've played it twice would have been more but my first attempt was aborted due to the magic glitch. Both completed playthroughs were with the non glitched translation I've already preordered it XD Edited January 23, 2017 by iavasechui Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hinode Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 (edited) Beat it back in 2005 on the ancient buggy J2E patch. I actually managed to find my old save files/savestates on my HD, still working once I redownloaded a newer version of FCE Ultra. Gaiden had a lot of weird/novel ideas that were interesting to play around with, but the lack of UI/mechanics polish got really bad at times. A couple of maps with summoners or bigles took me ridiculous amounts of time to finish. I'd never replay Gaiden from scratch, but I am hopeful that a remake can fix all of its serious issues while keeping the quirky elements like personalized spell lists. Oh yeah, I also managed to get TWO rare drops, an Astra Lance and a Dracoshield. The latter completely broke the game when I equipped it on Dyute, IIRC the final boss was the only enemy that did more than one damage to her.

leo_dragon_knight Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 I beat it a long time ago, I recall doing so much grinding just for fun. I never bothered a 2nd play through though due to the slow game play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fengaridotdll Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 I played one chapter, and got stuck on Chapter 2 somehow  Also I couldn't tell what I was doing because I somehow managed to apply the translation patch to the same file twice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oshimos Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 I beat it around a year ago and had a lot of fun, but also I abused grinding and the Angel Ring to the point where there was borderline no challenge to the endgame, so I'm looking forward to playing Echoes more seriously.

Kil0 Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 I played up to chapter 4 before it was announced, and am nearly done with the game as of now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Karnage Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 I picked it up a year ago  I didn't know how to promote my villiagers so it got to hard and I gave up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrySun Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 Beat it over a year ago. Was a really nice game...if you don't count the summoners. They are complete and utter BS that ruins the game, which will hopefully get either completely removed or drastically changed in Echoes.

Seafarer Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 I started playing it last year, and kinda liked it. Unfortunately, I then decided to play FE1 first, and then Fates came out, so I haven't finished Gaiden and probably won't before SoV comes out. I think it's seriously good given its platform. I just wish it had better maps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperIb Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 I mean, I tried like, 5 minutes of it if that counts. I literally cannot find any decent English patch for any FE game prior to Binding Blade and I'd like to actually understand what's happening So in other words, no. I didn't play it. Though I'm excited for Echoes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alm Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 I played Gaiden once through and am replaying it again now. It and FE6 are my favorite two games in the series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
