Paper Jam Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 (edited) I think there are plenty of moments in the Fire Emblem series that cause confusion, amazement, or frustration in the player, so I thought I'd ask for your opinion about the moments that caused you to think (if not say) "Oh my God(dess)..." To speak of such moments (or at least those related to the stories) would probably spoil them for everyone else, for which reason I put the "inevitable spoilers" disclaimer on this thread. My top "Oh My Goddess" moment would probably be in FE8 when I found out that Emperor Vigarde had been dead (or undead) all along. So what are the moments for which you play Fire Emblem? And it doesn't have to be story-related, if you pay more attention to the combat than to the story.

Knife Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 I think you need spoiler tags. Anyway, my WTF moment was when I found out Lucius was a dude. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chalis Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 My WTF moment was Jesey breaking the fourth wall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ϲharlie Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 The very first chapter in Mystery of the Emblem (book 2) comes to mind. Seeing that the boss was a former ally and couldn't be recruited or even spared was a definite "OMG moment" for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agro Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 When Deadre appears in Barhara Castle in Ch. 5 of FE4. That was some genuine surprise, for me. Also when Eliwood kills the dragon in FE7 and it turns out to be Ninian. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yuli Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 When a group of Cavalier reinforcements appeared behind me in the "Turning Traitor" chapter of FE8. D:< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Cow-Cow Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 in fe 8 when Pablo appeared in 2 chapters (cant remember which) I was thinking"I thought I killed you already" so i killed him again, though I then expected him to reapear.

Swordsalmon Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 In FE8, seeing Ross be hit by an Eclipse Shaman with 0% Hit. In Ghebfe, seeing Gerik be hit by an Axereaver Gargoyal with 0% Hit. In FE4, seeing Delmud miss a Troubadour four times with 100% Hit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_____ Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 Seeing Aran miss the finishing blow on Lekain with an 100% hit rate, and then having him be critical'd to death. (Stinkin' Corona...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven Tyler Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 My OMG moments when some people don't use spoiler tags! I guess my OMFG moment is when Sigurd (FE 4) was scapegoated by his motherland, his wife braishwashed, and Sigurd being killed by Alvis.

Thingy Person Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 When Nolan consistently missed a very dangerous archer in 1-F at 70% hit chance, each time after a turn that took long to set up. Battle save abuse, lols Also, when Soren hit on Aimee. I don't care if it's for the good of the company. It's still epic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheEnd Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 (edited) I guess my OMFG moment is when Sigurd (FE 4) was scapegoated by his motherland, his wife braishwashed, and Sigurd being killed by Alvis. This. "Oh, bad end... wait, there's more!?" The fact I didn't know Japanese and didn't notice Shanan and Oifaye running away with Celice helped creating a situation of genuine surprise to me. And then I was a fanboy. In FE4, seeing Delmud miss a Troubadour four times with 100% Hit. I blame Prayer.

Leonri Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 Greil vs Black Knight battle.....definately a surprise. Finding out that Orson's "wife" is a zombie-thing..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swordsalmon Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 I blame Prayer. The Trobadour was at full HP, though. :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TripleJ Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 In Fe6 when Roy or another unit would always die somehow, one turn, it'd be Hugh from an enemy scoring a critical hit with only 2% chance, then it'd be because I was stupid enough to put Thany in an Archer's attack range, then it'd be Roy getting himself killed at the arena, then it'd be those stupid wyverns picking my units off one at a time, and THEN be because I set my units up in a 'perfect' combat position, just to have my fool-proof plans ruined by a group of reinforcements coming up behind me... And other than that, great game. But this is supposed to be more or less story related right? 'Kay then, here's a list: When the Dragon Eliwood killed turned out to be Ninian. When Nergal showed his messed up eye. When Mist married Boyd in RD after getting them an A support. And that's about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VincentASM Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 For me, it was when I first discovered that FE7 was being released. Bearing in mind FE6 was my favourite game back then, I was like "OMG, young Eliwood and Hector!" etc. I also couldn't wait to play with Marcus as a Cavalier... but he's always a Paladin, eh?

Raven Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 Finding out Lucius was a guy. The first time reinforcement Cavaliers came from behind in that Turning Traitor chapter in FE8. Amelia barely got away. FE6, basically any and all reinforcements that appeared, because they were able to move on that same turn they appeared, which often meant unexpected attacks and deaths. Blargh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven Tyler Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 When Idoun was being used as a weapon of war. When Hardin went insane over Nina. When Micheal was dying from his wound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Tarrasque Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 FE6 Chapter 21x. All units have ended their turn, except for Astol. He opens a chest and gets nuked on the enemy's turn by the mamkute that appeared. FE5 Chapter 4x, It was my first playthrough and I had leaf escape alone so naturally, he was screwed. He lived through a few attacks with a broken sword. FE4 Chapter 2, the fact that no1 died with such a horrible suicidal gamble: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fia Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 FE4 Chapter 2, the fact that no1 died with such a horrible suicidal gamble: This! What a miracle. >_< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zanarkin Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 One of my units missing two computer hits when the computer guy had like a 75 hit attack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not Changed by VASM :( Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 Also, when Soren hit on Aimee. I don't care if it's for the good of the company. It's still epic. This. Also Boo, video you posted was in-fucking-sane was that you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Tarrasque Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 Yeah that was me bored... I felt like restarting the chapter but before that, I just took that suicidal gamble thinking I was gonna lose a unit but decided to just leave it that way cause of the outcome lol.
