FE8 is almost all reused assets from 6 and 7, and there's no difference between those. Only the things they had to do from scratch (world map, monster sprites and such) admittedly look better, but no more than that. Trying to say its graphics as a whole are better tells me that you need a pair of glasses.

>FE7 has a blurry mess on screen, even at 1080p
I don't know what the fuck you are trying to say. Upscaling a screenshot from a game meant to be played in a tiny screen makes it look bad? No shit dude.

The only thing I liked about Awakening was the fact that you can get as many support conversations as you want. No need to play through the game 10 times to get all of them.

Literally every single other thing about Awakening is shitty.

Every person I've talked to that liked it, not only was it their first Fire Emblem, it was their first SRPG. Play any half-decent SRPG and you realize just how bare bones Awakening is.

Hell, most of FE has trouble standing next to the greats in the genre, but the good characters and character interactions save what would otherwise be a pretty by-the-numbers SRPG.

Awakening through all that away. It doesn't have any good characters, characters only have one or two personality traits, support conversations barely add anything of substance. The artstyle is absolutely atrocious. FE's stories are never anything ground breaking, but they're somewhat enjoyable, Awakening is shit. None of the characters motivations makes any sense at all. That dumb bitch died a pointless death.

As for the gameplay, most FE games have a decent variety of maps and map objectives, just about every single map in Awakening is just a large open field. Only a couple of maps actually require using terrain to your advantage.

I unironically like FE:A and you can't change my mind.
While it has it's balancing problems and the maps can be simplistic and it does allow grinding, it feels like it had a lot of effort and heart put into it. Like they made this game because they wanted to.

It's the Brawl of the franchise.

FE7's characters might have been simplistic, but they weren't totally off-the-wall like Awakening.

Kellam is a giant but no one can see him. The first time this happened, it was a funny little gag and a jab about him being inconspicuous. Then that turned into his sole defining characteristic.

Characters in Awakening don't have personality traits, they have "funny quirks".

Kellam is a pretty bad example, I'll give you that. I wonder if you got the point of me posting Lowen in the first place though. Maybe this will help.

And when you say simplistic, it sounds an awful lot like you're dancing around them having only one or two defining characteristics, sort of like people accuse Awakening characters of being.

Wrong. Chrom is still the hero and main character of the story. He still goes through the Awakening process and is still the chosen one. Your involvement in the plot just goes up because the evil mastermind is you.
>>
>>334993790
>FE13 is an abomination. Anyone who denies it needs to die.
I agree. But there's nothing we can do; they won't die even if you kill them since they're fucking casuals.
>>
>>334997349
I just said it's not that they're simplistic, and I fully admit to most Fire Emblem characters being simplistic. It's what happens when you have really large casts.

My problem is that Awakening's characters don't act like humans. They act like bad anime characters.
>>
>>334996643
>Robin is literally a mary sue
You're correct.

Which makes it all the more sad that he's still the best Avatar.
>>
>>334997376
Chrom takes a total backseat in the second half of the game.

And it's still incredibly convenient for Robin to just be laying in a fucking field and Chrom and friends just happen to stumble upon him.

He could very easily had just been discovered by some shitty villagers.
>>
>people whining that waifus ruined the game
But no, Ike barafagging it up for the 7 years pre-Awakening was fine right? Besides, it's not like waifufags have that much of an impact anyways. If you look at the porn from FE:Fates it's almost exclusively gay with Camilla on the side.

1-5 range. 1-3 if they're only using the default bow.

>>334995609
>And no see those were actual chracters and not caricatures of an actual character made to appeal to husbando and waifu faggots.
They had more or less exactly as much character as Awakening/Fates characters. The only difference is that they weren't forced to have as many supports, which meant less conversations that boiled down to "gimmick x meets gimmick y".

Nintendo of Europe does sometimes do a different localization for PAL releases, though usually it's a few key changes here and there from the American one. It's notable in Smash 4 as many trophy descriptions and Boxing Ring titles are different, and of course there's those screencaps of NoE's Triforce Heroes being filled with less memes than NoA

In the case of FE, in Awakening there's some changes, there was one about an image of Tharja too I think?

Fates isn't even released in PAL territories yet. We're waiting until late May! Then the special edition scalping can begin, as well as the release of that special edition N3DS XL.
>>
>>334997720
Pansy with no resolve.
Doesn't think anything through.
Admittedly, it's not entirely Corrin's fault. Aqua was enabling him. Fate's plot as a whole is pants on head retarded which is also going against Corrin.
That said, he never got the slap he deserved.

If you played fates, you'd realize what a beta faggot he is. Makes chrom look like Ike. I remember how people hyped up azure so hard yet... well i wont even spoil, but its pretty stuipid, especially the dlc "neutral" path. My buddy returned it soon after, glad i didn't buy it.
>>
>>334997796
This isn't an agree/disagree thing.

It's objective fact.

You can just choose to put your hands over your eyes and say "LA LA LA I CAN'T HEAR YOU"

Characters in Awakening are exaggerated tropes. They're nothing even remotely close to being unique characters. This isn't debatable.
>>
>>334997908
Given how they're probably doing a ton of translations for other languages, I think NoE might revise over the American one with their changes. Though they probably don't want to change things it already established like that neutered ninja support conversation, I think there's still some hope for improvement.
>>
>>334997979
There isn't a single FE game where most of the soldiers aren't exaggerated tropes. Treating this as a unique criticism of Awakening is nostalgia for the older games on your part.

Gaius likes candy
Panne hates humans
Nowi is a kid
Stahl is mediocre
Sully is a guy
Libra is a guy
Henry likes blood
Lonk likes swords
Lucina is Marth
Maribelle is a princess
The actual princess is kind of princess
Chrom is Marth

I'll give you a little history lesson: Nintendo made a western fantasy inspired SRPG series 25 years ago, it featured all sorts of fucked up shit like incest and indoctrination of children into the cult of nationalism, and that kind of stuff. Of course, casuals don't care about that kind of stuff (or know how to import/download fan translations) so it wasn't doing so well and only became known in the west because of Mars and Roy being in Smash Brothers since no one watched the OVA, and of course, most didn't even play the ones that did get localized. Nintendo got desperate and made a new Fire Emblem that was heavily anime inspired, so it went from being like Lodoss to being like Queen's Blade(along with being casualized in general). It was a huge hit (with casuals), but many posters here warned people that this was going to set the precedent and they were ignored due to being outnumbered by the blind. After this success, a crossover with Megami Tensei was announced, which turned out to actually be an Idolmaster game, but with some occasional sword fighting, proving the aforementioned warning posts correct. Now they're making a new FE that has both petting and boob rubbing as a mini game. Think about that. We went from a game where you lead a cowardly lord down the path of being a brave man and growing as a person to regressive shit that panders to men that will never grow up and only like to think about sexual acts they will never be able to perform on actual women, yet at the same time, aren't even smart enough to just play Eroge. Seriously, if you need some suggestions, you could always check out the Rance series or Valis X if you want to see sex in a medieval setting (You don't pay attention to the plot anyway, clearly, so the lack of translation for a lot of these games won't bother you). Lightning Warrior Raidy has an official translation for you pseudo moralfags that has more boobies than you underage retards can probably count. (cont.)

Boobs Wars is yet another anime game with sword fighting and actual genitalia depicted. Now, I know the fucktarded are already typing out their posts about Mars having a waifu with big boobies, but consider the fact that Mars didn't have have to rub Shiida's tits to show that he liked her, since the developers at least had like an ounce of respect for women at the time. The worst part is when we talk about how this is nothing like the earlier games, they'll cite the completely played straight depictions of incest and period accurate underage marriage as evidence of it always being an anime game since we all know that Deliverance is an anime movie, as is The Woodsman since both involve incest and pedophilia which are anime exclusive tropes that make everything into super funny comedy anime. You people can believe whatever you want to believe, just stop ruining good franchises, play fap games since that's what you are here for anyway, and please ssay the fuck away from actual threads about FE that aren't just "I want to marry x!", "X is cute! Cute!", or "X has no ass! X has no tits! X has no boingy bits!" or whatever memes are currently being spouted by these types of people.
And you KNOW that that is exactly why they care because 90% of the discussion you see about Fates on /v/ is about pandering stuff being removed. I know you kiddies weren't on /v/ at the time, but do you recall people complaining about the removed elements in Radiant Dawn to the point that 90% of the game disucssion was about the change of some of the lines in the EU version, the lack of dual audio, or change of character names? No, because the game had at least SOME features it could stand up on its own with beyond lol boobies. That is the only reason casuals and most of /v/ cares about this game and the people complaining about the censorship don't even play Fire Emblem anyway, because they would be more concerned with the fact that it's a kusoge than the fact that it's a censored kusoge.

This but it's not just exclusively gay as much as it's mostly girls self-inserting with their husbando and/or gay shit. As far as Fates is concerned the girls are secondary. Camilla, the most popular non-avatar girl, pales in comparison as far as art goes. Reflects the fanbase.

If you want to blame anything, you can point some blame at FE9/10. Just go look up all the gay shit of Ike/Soren. As for waifufag stuff, Lyn exists.
>>
>>334998862
Also, even if it's true that other FE characters are just as bad, it still holds true that Awakening is still one of the worst in the series.

The maps have so little variety. They wanted nice and easy maps for casuals. The one defense map has ONE way to get to the person you're defending.

If you played with even a modicum of strategy, no unit will come close to her.

Also, to add onto my criticisms, the child characters are useless and tacked on. They have zero plot relevance and are severely underleveled when you get them.

Honestly, that is my biggest problem with the game. There is no balance whatsoever. The game wants you to grind but then when you do, the game becomes hilariously easy. The game wants you to experiment with classes, but makes it a total pain to do so.

Really, the best way to experience Awakening is don't do any DLC and don't get any of the children. Then the game has some tiny bit of balance.

>great music
Agreed
>shit characters
You fucking wot m8? Hell, the characters in the latest one are the only good parts of the story (more on that in a sec).
>shit gameplay
If you mean literally one of the finest tuned SRPG series of all time has shit gameplay, ok bud.
>shit topography
Ok
>shit mechanics
Like what? Other than the waifu/children mechanics id say it's pretty sound.
>shit graphics til FE8
FE7 had basically the same graphics as 8.
>only good stories
...up until Fates, you'd be mostly correct (Radiant Dawn and Awakening are suspect as well). But really all FEs can be boiled down to
>some guy is a dick
>and the dragons are back
>so you gather a group of misfits
>and save the world

>>334999252
Okay I'll answer that for him

>Stahl is i'm so hungry lel guy
>Libra passes because FE has always done that joke
>Lon'q is that easily guessable silent badass that's actually a sweetheart that's been done multiple times already, but i'll pass it
>Chrom's sister is a ONI-CHAN ~ :3 type walking, oh no wait fates does it worse
>Chrom's older sister literally "died" but actually didn't die, nothing really mattered just like fate's "choices"

I could go on.

Sad thing is, i'd rather play FE13 than 14 despite the gameplay being slightly improved from awakening, the MC and the story is just so fucking retarded. Plus the pandering? Pass.

>finest tuned SRPG

So finely tuned that a characters worth is dependent entirely on RNG.

Listen, I like Fire Emblem, but precisely zero people play it for it's mechanics. They play it in spite of the mechanics.
>>
>>334999846
But my favorite thing about most of the FE games I've played is going to the arena and testing my luck
>>
>>334993790
My first Fire Emblem game was Awakening and I loved it. No wonder it saved the series from becoming a dormant skeleton like F-Zero and Mother.
Playing through Fates right now.
>>
>>334999846
Playing with the RNG is half the fun, man. And there are plenty of ways to skew it in your favor, if you have half a brain. Unless you're just blindly moving all your units up in a line and yelling "Jesus take the wheel!" On enemy turns, the RNG shouldn't be an issue whatsoever.
>>
>>334999357
Agreed
>>
>>335000190
I'm talking about getting stats on level ups, not AI behavior.

Unless you manipulate RNG, you have no control over it. Manipulating RNG in that way is pretty damn hard outside of TAS shit.
>>
I liked Fire Emblem more when it was really well animated sprite work and not below average poly 3D without feet.
>>
>>334999641
I'd say the best stories go to 4 and 8 easily, though I haven't played 5. All of the others were extremely formulaic but passable until RD, where the story started getting progressively worse.
>>
>>335001042
The battles in the GBA FEs had fantastic presentation.

>quick, snappy animation
>critical hits have fantastic sound effects couple with screen shake, making them incredibly satisfying

3D models just aren't the same. It would be okay if they didn't feel so sluggish. I almost never turn animations off in the GBA FEs, but I pretty much kept them off in Awakening.
>>
>>335000436
if you're not incredibly unluck you should always have a small variety of good soldiers that can hold out on their own and some bad ones that can finish off what the good ones didn't kill right away. i like the RNG even if it sometimes makes me ragequit admittedly.
>>
>>335001346
The fact that luck is even a factor is bullshit to me, honestly.

I've played lots of SRPGs, and none of them force you to just hope characters end up being good.
>>
>>335001507
It's always weird to hear about people who had units who ended up either unstoppable gods or mediocre crap depending on if they were blessed by RNG or not
>>
>>335001507
>i don't like thing
>literally zero people like thing
okay...

it makes every game somewhat unique and forces you to use different characters. knowing how to play with bad luck is an additional challenge.

>So finely tuned that a characters worth is dependent entirely on RNG.
My only gripe with the series as a whole. RNG is only fun sometimes. Like when you have more crit than hit and you actually land your crit. Otherwise, it can completely take the fun out of the game. Like when the character with 70% speed growth doesn't level speed for 10 levels.
>>
>>334999241
if you have a hard time with awakening you should just kill yourself now and save yourself the trouble of being a disappointment
>>
>>334999241
>is there a point to play Classic if I suck and just insta-restart every time a dude dies??
Nope
Even if you are an expert player you still get randomly crit have to reset anyway, which is zero fun
>>
>>334993790
>bait enemy over with high defense character
>ambush with other units on your turn
Why do people play this game when there's only one strategy to win?
>>
>>335002174
The permadeath in Fire Emblem is poorly implemented.

It's not like Xcom or something where you can keep pushing ahead and make do with what you have.

The characters in Fire Emblem are just too unique. It doesn't encourage careful play, it just encourages resetting.
>>
>>335002174
>>334999241
Just don't restart when someone dies, the challenge comes from losing units you spent time (experience) on. Losing all your characters is a real possibility if you suck and is the entire weight behind the mechanic. Otherwise the game would just restart a mission when someone died.

>if you suck
Yes random crits and RNG gimping all your units is skill based
>>
Can't wait for FE15.
>>
>>335003106
Yes, random crits and RNG taking out every single unit you have and making the game unwinnable is a real danger if you suck and no other way. I'm not saying those things won't impact you, but you didn't greentext a very important part of that sentence which is that I'm talking about losing all your units. RNG doesn't make the game unwinnable unless you the player suck at the game.
>>
>>335002760
>Just don't restart when someone dies
>just
i can't. i feel too guilty not saving everyone.
>>
>>335002513

ya im just gonna play it on normal or whatever, i dont think the perma-death makes much sense in a story based RPG specially with so many "relationships" you can make

i dont really enjoy nearly winning a fight and then losing some guy in the last minute due to RNG and restarting again

kellam and donnel are pretty cool.

they bro out over farming.

i know :/. but at least i don't use the RNG as an excuse. i know that 33% chances hit every third time statistically but sometimes i don't think before doing stuff.

You have autism. Seek help. Obtain prescription medication.

>>335002760
I can't get myself to do that anymore, games Radiant Dawn and after is where I started doing it. I just feel too bad letting them die, probably because they're 3D models and not 2D sprites.
