>>
They were your first.

>>336670756
No. Awakening is the best.
>>
>>336670756
Because disgusting weebs and waifu fags ruin every fucking Japanese title.

I understand the concept of watching anime or jrpgs with anime-like graphics but waifuism is pure shit.
>>
Probably because battles are quick and you're not stuck watching a cutscene battle play out for a whole fucking minute.

>inb4 you can speed up battle animations or turn them off altogether

I still want to watch what happens but I don't want to watch a movie while doing it.
>>
Less waifu shit, better animations and better gameplay.

>>336670756

The best ones are the first 3 before the series was casualized

fates has some pretty great crit animations. You're just blinded by nostalgia
>>
>>336670756
battles are fun because of the quick yet elaborate animations instead of terrible looking sprite/3D models slowly walking up to eachother and awkwardly swinging swords

maps aren't long slogfests like the early console games yet they also aren't perfectly flat empty rooms with chokepoints and still have gimmicks unlike the later ones

fire emblem was still a western fantasy inspired game in the vein of loddoss or something instead of being full of retarded characters with personalities and clothes that only make sense in one of those crappy dime a dozen mmo anime series they make these days

all three games are distinct enough to have their own appeals, with FE6's difficulty, FE7's replay value and FE8's freedom to pick fights and power up characters without going so overboard like in later games that the game is no longer a strategy game but a grinding game

They'll be slow as fuck and possibly have major sound issues, but since it's not a very action-oriented game a low FPS shouldn't get in your way. You could always just play them on a PC or a Wii with a standard emulator anyway, playing SNES games on a CRT improves the atmosphere anyway (and the spritework is nowhere near as good as the GBA games).

For fe 7:
Good production values, passable story, dialogue was trying, decent balance, good difficulty and narrative curves.

I think it's very debateable whether 7 is the best fire emblem but 6 is nonsense hard at many points and 8 is basically a sandbox
>>
No FE games pander too much to otaku so it can sell well

>>336674279
7 is the weakest of the GBA trilogy desu, and I say that as someone who was introduced to the series with it.

>>336674358
Nah, it's by far the best, 6 is easily the worst because it has worst lord and best character dies.

>>336674279
Yea 6's bosses have way too many defense, especially at the beginning, while 8 gets too easy with that tower you can grind forever in

Does anyone have experience making hacks?

I'd like to hack Sacred Stones to make a custom campaign. The Vampire Counts, reason I want SS is it already has monster sprites and I'm not confident in my sprite making skills.

What kind of difficulty do people generally like in these hacks though? I'd like to lean mine towards the more difficult side. Normal and Hard mode would be the only difficulty modes and Hard would have additional enemies and +2 stats in the early game and +4-5 in the late game.

Is awakening playable on Citra yet?
>>
>>336674653
I'm not a huge fan of reinforcements generally.
The only time I'm planning on adding enemy reinforcements are in Escape and Defend maps.

The way I've set it up most units should cap relevant stats but enemies generally keep pace. On Normal as long as RNG didn't fuck you and you use the weapon triangle you should be able to double one hit kill most enemies. And if RNG does fuck you I plan on having 2 of each stat booster to be found/dropped and 1 of each can be bought at a shop late game.
Not many units will have resistance, so magic users are very dangerous.

On Hard most enemies would be capped as well by end game, but I did add in some fairly powerful weapons. The main gimmick of the hack would be that Silver Weapons are weaker than Iron, but are Supereffective versus Undead and Vampires so they do 3x Might, +30% Hit and 3x Crit.
>>
>>336675023
I'd keep the ones that I named plus Naesala, because outside of the Blood Pact shit he was interesting as a character.
>>336675068
I've never been too big in her for some reason.
>>
>>336674585
It's mainly that you can't choose when they morph.

And they join you way too early, they get basically no experience from killing anything but bosses or other Laguz, which give like twice the experience to your other units anyways. I mean you can totally bench them and then bring them out again at Chapter 20 and they're still usable. Mordecai is the weakest because of his shit speed and speed growth along with his meh defense, but even he's viable for end game although hardly ideal.

RD fixed a lot of the problem with Laguz by letting you choose when they transform.
>>
>>336675218
I'd like to be big in her, if you know what I mean. But yeah, while I liked how she helped other characters' development, I was never interested in much besides those shorts she wears.

I didn't really like her in cutscenes and whatnot.

>I wish other Fire Emblem games had as much content RD did.
I do too, I mean Fates kind of does if you count all 3 game plus + DLC but the whole game is kind of half assed when you look into it. And the whole game suffers due to have to account for the 3rd route in terms of writing. But I would willing get rid of the DB in exchange for a different Part 1.

SNES games are hard to get into when it's your first, I would start with GBA ones, most people start with FE 7. After beating FE7 and 8 then go for SNES, FE IV for example that's awesome.

*inb4 "FE isn't about the story. This was an acceptable rebuttal when the cutscenes were only a few lines long and you could skip the whole thing by pressing B. New FE games are story based with fully animated cutscenes and everything and even then, the story is either forgettable or outright awful and should be criticized as such.

I would say each one, seeing as Sacred Stones didn't and technically PoR/RD don't seeing as Ashnard was the main antagonist of PoR and Dheginsea/Deghinsea wasn't the main antaongist in RD, Ashera and Lehran were. But I can see your point a bit on the other stuff, though I don't necessarily agree on the characters.

They're even worse than awakening and the first one as far as maps and story go. As far as GBA fire emblems go SS was the better of the two despite being easier.

>>
>>336687390
I would if it added something like extra maps or different mechanics or characters. The fan translation for 5 is terrible, even worse than the glorified re-writes we've gotten in the series recently so I would buy it as a budget game even without new content.

Well FE7 was a prequel to 6 so if you want to know how everything turned out and what happened to some of the characters, some of them don't get mentioned in 6 at all due to the nature of 7 coming after 6 and introducing characters, go to 6. But if you want a fresh setting, do the Radiant Games. Awakening was alright, Fates improves on it, but if you plan on playing all 3 routes, I'd go Hoshido - Nohr - Revelation. You may get bored if you go to Birthright/Hoshido after Conquest/Nohr and then Revelation is like the "true" route.

Because it doesn't have Thracia's growths in a system that has none of Thracia's many features used to compensate for low stats like FE6, and it doesn't have the most retarded story like FE7 (but at least 7 had comparable gameplay)

Shadow Dragon is the one most similar to the GBA games. The other ones might be a bit meaty for your next one.

I said using Lyn for the OP pic. Anyone can tell that's the tutorial. Still though, Lyn is shit. And should not be a start to any FE thread. Literally worst Lord.
>>
>>336688121
I assume this is a defend map, so the complains about sudden reinforcements is kind of retarded
And FE always had random reinforcements on the hardest difficulties too. It's kinda bullshit and they will most certainly get one or two of your units killed out of spite, but hey it's FE.

Thoughts on Conquest?

>>336692209
The general consensus is that the gameplay is great, but the story is fucking stupid.
>>
>>336670756
To compensate for the original GBA's lack of a backlight, they made the games really bright and flashy.

Note that Sacred Stones has a more muted palette.

>>336692209
Everything is great except the story which is abysmal.

Use an Ocean Seal on a pirate, so it has to be Dart.

You get another berserker later, but he has his own unique sprites so you don't get these animations.

What? The only real contenders are FE4/5 and Path of Radiance. None of the other games come close

Fates nailed the gameplay and has an incredible soundtrack. It's a shame the plot is dogshit and the supports are subpar to disgusting. This thing about pairing anyone with everyone is stupid, I'd rather have a small amount of good quality supports than huge shitpile of them. There's something wrong when retainers can't support with each other. Also, GBA game swere great, but even though Sacred Stones is easy as shit, it's definitely the best of the three. Play the other ones, FE3 is great.

They are much better dialogue wise and even ost wise, really helps set the mood
Also more subtle with the cookie cutter characters

I never liked FE8 but I loved the branching class system and wish they would reuse it at some point. Trainees being an artifact from Gaiden was also pretty cool

Speaking as someone who has admittedly only played one FE, I can agree with this. Sacred Stones was fun, but very tedious in both execution and in the cardboard cutout theatrics.

Honestly, like a lot of great Nintendo franchises, it just needs tightening. Nintendo has little incentive at the minute because they've hit on waifubux, and waifubux are effortless revenue. It's the equivalent of the modern capeshit formula for comic book movies. Trouble is, no-one will remember the yearly slog of capeshit movies a decade from now and no-one will remember current FE either.

Just his sister? The fuck, are you gay or something?

Ephraim would triumphantly ride back to his home on his ballin' horse, pounding away at L'Arachel's tight vag as his horse fucks the shit out of L'Arachel's horse simultaneously.
Midway through he would ram his lance into the ground and backflip himself, L'Arachel, and the two horses into the air and land on top of Tana's Pegasus.
He and his bro horse would proceed to have threesomes between L'Arachel and Tana and their respective horses. This would continue until he arrived at the castle.
He rides that shit right into the banquet room, pulls out, and begins devouring a giant hunk of mutton practically raw.
Kyle would start his bullshit about eating vegetables so he'd punch that faggot in the face while demanding more mutton.
Then he would grab Myrrh and start slamming her dragon loli ass as he uses the other hunk of mutton to sop up the blood from the last mutton, then devours it ripping it to pieces with his bare fucking hands.
Then he'd throw L'Arachel and Tana over his shoulder and tell make Myrrh fly him up to his personal chambers at the top of the castle as he continues to fuck her senseless.
As Ephriam breaks through the fucking window of his tower room, he'd find Erika on his bed, positioning her ass towards him and begging for his imperial dick.
Ephraim would shake Myrrh off of his cock and plunge it right into Erika and cums inside her about 15 times before he notices Innes trying to do his gay archery bullshit in his castle field.
He would pull out of Erika at this point and stick it into Tana before he quickly gets out a bow and fires 3 arrows with his teeth, nailing 9 straight bullseye's from his castle window.
Innes will start crying like a bitch as he sees his sister getting plowed with her body hanging outside the window,
then start shiting and pissing on himself when he sees Vanessa fly up on her pegasus to help suck Ephraims cock along side of Erika, L'Arachel, and Myyrh.

I think people place too much importance in the story of Fire Emblem, as long as the story sets the gameplay up for interesting scenarios and battles the story shouldn't matter.

No good fantasty story 20-30 battles in it to begin with but this is something that Fire Emblem must have. As you'll play more of the games you'll see all of the conflicts are pretty contrived and the number of battles and victories makes every main character pretty much an unavoidable Mary Sue.

I honestly wonder if the people who say old FE had good stories/characters played the same games I did.

>>336696897
This. FE has never been about the story.
>>
>>336692832
the translations for 4 and 5 are pretty bad so they're hard to judge and PoR is pretty generic imo. None of the games stands out as having a great story.

Absolutely no one who's played Fire Emblem would ever say the 1st game is the best and nobody with any sense would say the 2nd game is the 2nd best either.

>>336675068
She was pretty decent in PoR due to her transforming straight away, so if you rush them you can do it before she reverts, and that she was strong enough to ORKO most enemies for the first 5 or 6 levels
