Very glad to know people are still able to experience the game as if it just came out. Godbless project Naga.

I then took that knowledge to later play PoR on Hard mode and really have a feel for how i was suppose to play and strategies. Sacred stones was my first game and i feel that any new player to the series would love starting there for the ability to learn the game

Re: the double roll talk, as someone who's got some experience in both maths and game design, it's actually a psychological thing - humans are *really bad* at intuiting probabilities, so if you have a single roll 90%, almost everyone playing the game will actually feel like they're hitting significantly *less* than 90% of the time. There are a lot of games that do this, for instance iirc in one of the doom games you took half damage when under 20% health, so your character actually had 120% health total, which causes more fights to end at low health and *feel* like they were a close run thing (I may be misremembering the actual numbers) Games do this a lot, because when it comes right down to it a lot of game design is about making a game which *feels* fair rather than one which actually *is* fair, and if your players don't have easy access to forums which will tell them they're being lied to, the lie will probably end up making the majority of players thinking the game is more fair than if it didn't lie to them

@avaliantsoul5408 Жыл бұрын

I think, having played RD a number of times (only beating it thrice though iirc), it is a black sheep in that its more fun each time. the first playthrough feels like a desperate fight against unknowable odds, which is fun. But on the second and third (and fourth, etc) you now KNOW those odds, and can thus prepared for them. The many twists and turns with switching armies sets you off balance on the 1st playthrough, but on the second and third, I had a plan set out. I knew which exact characters i wanted to take into the tower (I intended to leave behind all the laguz royals cause they're cheap af imo, at least, once youve beaten the game once, or on Hard/Maniac) and knew exactly the path i wanted to take. Ike, Micaiah, Sothe, Sanaki, Ena, Kurthnaga (all of which are required), Edward (best trueblade), Aran (love me the sentinels), Neph and Danved (again, love the sentinels), Titania (best girl), gatrie, shinon, Mia (also love trueblades), Boyd, and Renning. Oh and Leanne as my heron.

@BryanGC Жыл бұрын

2:15 Just in the first couple of minutes, you have expressed the exact same sentiment a dedicated FE player deals with when losing a unit in permadeath. We just didn't really like that character... 😭

@boobalooba5786 Жыл бұрын

I think you are 100% wrong about Radiant Dawn's gameplay. It is the most rewarding game in the entire series for growth units, but the growing involves more than just gaining exp as you have to plan around the character availability while gifting them as much exp as you can. The royals aren't there to take away from your growth units but to make sure you don't soft lock yourself 60 hours into an rpg. I replay Radiant Dawn the most in this series and I always play on hard, and I have never used any royal Laguz beyond Nailah because they are boring to use. My final team always has Vika, Lyre and Fiona though because finding out ways to max them is just fun and seeing them solo Dragons is always a good time.

Start with sacred stones or blazing sword. It pains me to see people pass on the old entries because genealogy and thracia are the most unique ones in the franchise and not as outdated as they might think, but they get put in the same bag as the first 3 which I do not recommend. Whichever game you choose though I hope you enjoy it!

Not sure if is nostalgia but i cannot agree with your comment on Fire Emblem Sacred stones, it was the second Fire emblem game i played many years ago and i loved. it is the only game that has class upgrades that do not show on any other games so far, for example the wyven knight. Also if some players don't like the grinding part they can just not grind. But great video still.

You should check out tear ring saga and Berwick saga for the ps1 and ps2 they are spiritual succesors to fire emblem created by one of the original creators(sorry i just got to the part you mention it). Im a massive fan of fire emblem and have been since around 2005 and i own and have played every single game in the series. I have all the physical copies in origanal boxing with manuals including FE mirage. Such an expensive series to purchase. Luckily i bought POR and Radiant dawn when they first were released. Btw if anyone likes to play physical copies without an emulator you can buy translated bootlegs, that's what i did for any not in English is buy the original copies+ translations.
