iavasechui Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 beaten it at least twice, wondering if I should make it a third while I wait for echoes or not... either way love the heck out of it XD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KliffIsTheOG Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 Bro, Kliff practically solo'd the game for me. He brought the final boss to minimum HP that a non-alm character can do and got consecutive crits. He is a str8 savage and a true legend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kil0 Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 I played to chapter 4. Then Echoes was announced. Then I beat it. It was awesome, everyone should play it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you color the redesign's hair brown/orange and make his vest green, he looks surprisingly similar. But then again, I am talking about the minor details of an 8-bit sprite from the 90s so what would I know, haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fengaridotdll Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 I've only played Chapter 1 and stopped after Celica's first map for some reason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsak Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 I tend not to go before FE4 when it comes to OG FE. So i've only seen a LP of Gaiden. that being said, im excited to see what they're going to do to the story because it looks like its shaping up to be actually decent.

Wasn't it until FE3 that they actually hired an artist to do the character design? I seem to remember something about how FE1 was just a neat side project Intsys made for fun no one expected to catch on so they just had one of the programmers draw the characters which explains the really wonky art style for the first two games.

Lord Tullus Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 I've played Gaiden and Beaten it around 5 or 6 times. It's a short, fun little game with plenty of replay value, if you know how to manipulate the viliger class grades. What I mean by that is that there are many ways to change up your team, and it doesn't feel as forced as the reclassing in fates or awakening. Yes, to me those features felt forced. I'd urge anyone to go back and play it, but it's not required. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pikappa93 Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 Completed and enjoyed it. It definitely has its flaws (some mechanics are sooo unbalanced), but it's a good game overall. I played it after the Echoes announcement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So reclassing in Shadow Dragon and Shin Monsho felt natural to you despite being shoehorned into games that were over a decade old at the time? Like I said earlier, I didn't get far, but I enjoyed what I played aside from having to manually end my turns, which made it a chore to play.

I think why they felt forced to me was that they had seals and you had to buy them, as well as there being branching promotions. In shadow dragon and new mystery, they were there and you never had to use them at any cost to your rescources. Plus the old games needed something to spice up the gameplay. And for some reason I like manually ending my turns. Lets me veiw everything before I get killed by the enemy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup. You're right. Though I think that it wasn't until FE4 that they had dedicated character artists. That's why the earlier art is lower quality than Jugdral and later art, and the same with the in-game sprite portraits.

Come to think of it, I don't even know how the art for FE3 look outside the game, are there even any that wasn't made later for the TCG? That being said, I do think the actual in game sprite portraits in FE3 look polished and they are a huge step up from FE1 in a way that can't just be explained with the fact they had better hardware. I'm sure you're correct about FE4 being the first game with a dedicated character designer, but I feel like FE3 at least had competent spriters (is that a word?) on board.

Tamanoir Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 I already completed once, and decided to restart it yesterday. Kliff (as a mage) crited that damn Leather Shield Mercenary, so everything is good in the world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zosha Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 A few years ago I played Gaiden and I think I reached Chapter 4. Spoiler Then I entered the Draco Zombie mountain or whatever it's called in Alm's route. That's okay by itself, but by that point I already finished that one tower in Celica's route and saved, so I had to restart the game. I was so angry about this I never touched the game again. But since I already know what's going to happen I probably won't have any more nasty suprises once i'll play Echoes. Hahaha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You rest in the dragon mountain place with Alm and after a few mandatory fights if you've completed Celica's route you are free to progress. It's not because you finished Celica's route first.

You just need to use that, and more draco's will spawn until you can move. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
