With Fire Emblem Echoes releasing, I thought I would finally play the Fire Emblem series where it all began. Well, in America at least. This week episode of the Completionist: Fire Emblem the Blazing Sword on the Game Boy Advance (GBA)!

Lol, I learned of fire emblem back in 2005. I was in the 5th grade and playing with 2 magnets. My classmate was so interested in them for some reason that he offered to trade my 2 magnets for Fire emblem 7. My classmate said it was a boring game and bad. Coming from a poor family and not being able to afford games I accepted the trade. Man, am I glad I did. It was fate that I found Fire emblem that day.

16:55 Romance wasn't first introduced in Awakening. It was first in Fire Emblem 4: Genealogy of the Holy War, and even though it was a SNES game, the mechanics behind romance and subsequent child units were more complex since you had to consider aspects such as carrying over bloodlines so that they are able to wield weapons exclusive to a bloodline. If you thought THIS game made you think of Game of Thrones, FE4 is even more so.

@StevenUlyssesPerhero 7 жыл бұрын

I mean, let's be real, it was romance in this game too, it just wasn't "let's get married on the spot after having talked three times."

@MsDarkz123 7 жыл бұрын

Honestly the only new mechanic that Awakening introduced was the pair up system and it wasn't that great (I have to give credit to Fates for making that better though) it was broken in players favor and all the other mechanics or "new" options were already in previous games (the avatar playable and that mode were units don't die were already in Fire Emblem 12 for example) because they wanted to include a bit of each Fire Emblem game until that moment.

@ATOMICGOPHAH13 7 жыл бұрын

It's a shame they finally realized for a second time that advertisements sell games when Awakening was on the docket. Awakening is an awful Fire Emblem game and the fact that it's the one that got the marketing love is really sad since it shifted the series so heavily into the garbage can. But keep in mind it was the second one to get pushed heavily in the West. The first was Blazing Sword, and it sold really well even with some of the most hilariously bad advertisements in gaming.

Mother of crap. I'm usually a silent viewer for this channel, but damn. A classic Fire Emblem being on a big time KZfaq review channel. What a time to be an FE fan. I love it. I love seeing Jirard's experience with it and his opinions he has formed. He completed Hector hard mode man. And the supports. And the sound test. I'm one of the more well known GBA hackers in the community. I've hacked all the GBA games to pieces man... and that's no small feat. Especially not in the space of a week. HE EVEN LEGIT GOT THE MARIO KART DOUBLE DASH UNLOCKS (including the Emblem weapons like holy crap) I feel bad he had to rush to do all this. Respect man. I understand all his pain. I understand his problems with the game. Fire Emblem is not meant for completion in a week. Jirard, on behalf of the niche FE community of Serenes forest: We welcome you, brother. We welcome your pain with the supports. We welcome your pain with stat level ups and 1% crits. With all respect we know that feel.

Bartholomew Peter I can only do that when I haven't played a Fire Emblem game in a while, AND when I'm playing a newer game. If I ever try out one of the older games, or especially Shadow Dragon, I reset whenever I lose a character that's useful, which in SD means any of my characters that actually have weapons because you can only see the Gaiden chapters if you have less than 15 living units and if you have that few the game throws generic units at you -_-

Bartholomew Peter Ah, I should mention that it's optional. It's only to get to the new chapters and extra characters that weren't in the original game. It's still a stupid way to unlock the extra levels, but you can play through the game just fine without it and then decide if the extra levels are worth it to go through again. I haven't really gone back to it more than once yet because I haven't played Awakening, Path of Radiance, Echoes, etc. yet XD

I did the same thing if it was a character I liked. When it came to Shadow Dragon, I just said screw it to everything with that game after a while.

humans. dragons. long ago, the two species lived in harmony. then, everything changed when the fire nation attacked. Only the strategist, master of all Three weapon types, could stop them. But when the world needed him most, he vanished. A 100 years passed, and my soldiers and I, discovered the new strategist, an apartment dweller named Mark. And although his strategies are great, he still has a lot to learn before he's ready to beat anyone. But I believe, mark can save the world.

Permadeath only becomes a problem if you always reset for every single character. But the game clearly isn't meant to be played that way. It keeps throwing new units at you to compensate for what you've lost. I recommend resetting only for your absolute favourites.

I'm the kind of player who refuses to let anyone die. Ever. So... I ended up resetting a lot until I got good at the game. Now I only occasionally have to reset when RNG flips me the bird. The biggest thing is taking your time and not rushing into fights. Even for stages where you're trying to beat them within a certain turn limit, you can usually figure out a strategy that lets you do it without being reckless with your precious units.

Country* or Nation* or Confederacy/Alliance* A Kingdom implies it's ruled by a monarchy/king. The Lycian Alliance isn't that - it's an alliance of citystates, each ruled by a Marquis/Marquess. Yeah sure, there's one that acts as sort of a leader for all of them (Ostia in this game's timeline), but the amount of authority the leader actually has isn't what you'd think. The game makes it clear the only thing that keeps Ostia in charge is that the leader is good at diplomacy and has a strong enough military to act if one of the other marquis step out of line... and it's a tenuous alliance at best.

As a Fire Emblem completionist, I have to say you 'completed it' when you manage to beat the hardest difficulty!! In Path of Radiance and Radiant Dawn, doing the hardest difficulty AND having every character survive - which I did - is insane. Not recommended.

@brohacks9193 7 жыл бұрын

harm991 can confirm for tellius series I did both. didn't struggle too much with por on hard mode after first half probably cuz I focused on 7 units. would love to try the maniac mode if it wasn't exclusive to Japan. radiant dawn on hard really tested my patience. all without anyone dying

@laggalot1012 7 жыл бұрын

Path of Radiance is not that bad, if only by virtue of the fact that our most difficult mode is Hard Mode, and not the Japanese Maniac Mode, but Radiant Dawn really is tough as nails above 'Easy' mode (Which is actually Normal mode, but lol-mistranslation).

@Levitz9 6 жыл бұрын

Path of Radiance has some ridiculous unlock bonuses, though! You have to beat the game up to 15 times to unlock characters like Petrine and Ashnard as useable characters in the trial maps, then you have to link the game to the GMA titles to unlock some character potraits and trial maps.

This was the 1st rpg stragedy game i'd ever played. I bought it as soon as it came out and have been hooked ever since. The characters were so fleshed out they felt like real people. I would replay battles if my favorite character died. As a gal in high school, I even did an art project using cut outs of the characters from the official game guide. So the GBA games and the wii game are pretty much my favorite games of all time. Also Lyndis and Fiona for ever! And Matthew's back story just broke my heart. I loved the sound test, I would play "Together we ride" on loop.

Three Houses handles the perma-death mechanic in a really fun way. First: red lines project from enemies to tell you where they're going to target based on all your units' current positioning and where you're about to move your currently-selected unit. Second: Sothis gives you a limited number of charges with which you can rewind time (move-by-move, and you can go back quite a distance to whatever specific point you feel is needed to make a mistake, AND all the RNG rolls are preserved so when you take the same actions again, they play out the same way--allowing you to change only what you want to). So you're no longer restarting whole battles when you lose a unit, only when your margin for error is used up, and when you lose a unit, it's not so much random chance and more just the result of the choices you made. It's real fun. - Lewis

The fundamental issue of permadeath that so few people realize is that while resetting and replaying missions has become the norm amongst players, it's not really how the developers intended it to be played (which is why you have so many more units than you will ever actually use) characters dying is supposed to hurt, but if you choose to reset afterwards, you can't really complain about it being tedious when just continuing the game normally would completely circumvent that problem. ADDENDUM: I understand that in completing the game that's obviously not an option, but to the standard player it is a very different experience

@HylianHorse 7 жыл бұрын

Actually that's not completely true. The developers are aware that people reset and even play the game that way themselves. That's why the casts of fire emblem have been getting smaller and smaller. The game with the largest cast was the 3rd game (and it's remake) back before they knew that most people would reset if a unit died. In an interview, a developer even wore a shirt that said "Reset? Bring it on!"
