      Lucius is best boy. But it's still his fault I had to restart the game two times. He wrecked everything, and stole all the exp. And all my other units were too weak, because of him. But I still love him, he's precious. And he's the only bishop that matters. Because, if you're a monk and your name is not Lucius, you're fucked.

      @mauvedragontiddies9244 6 ปีที่แล้ว +32

      I think half the people want that, while the other half is afraid that they'll mess it up.
      But yeah, having it be a bit like Genealogy of the Holy War would be awesome, except that they don't continue the same conflict.
      But it's cool nonetheless, and it would allow them to make decisions made in FE 7 or casualities you faced carry over.
      Since many people don't like FE 6's huge cast, they could actually turn some characters into substitutes.
      Like say Dart survived FE 7's story, he would appear as berserker in a later chapter and Garret doesn't appear.
      Or maybe keeping certain characters alive would make specific relations canon, while they're made non-canon if they don't survive.
      For example (since many people actually want that) if Dorcas survives, Dorothy would be Dorcas and Natalie's daughter, but if he doesn't she's just a normal girl and her story gets altered just a bit.
      I would just looove stuff like that.
      And maybe they can just throw other characters from the previous game in there too that don't replace anyone.
      Like Sain and Kent, even if it's just in a cutscene.
      Could also out Lyn in the story, even if it's just her ... well ... dying along with the other Sacaens, would at least be closure.
      Not to mention that say Wolt's stats could be different depending on the father.
      Like more strength if it's Sain, or more defense if it's Lowen.
      Oof, sorry for the long comment.
      Should probably just post it in general instead of it being a response to you, but it did fit.

    If they ever make another game with 2d animations, I'd like each character to look more unique, instead of a different palate, or in some cases, just a different hair colour.
    FE6 was the first to have support conversations. FE3 had invisible bond supports.

      Engage seems to be moving away from what Awakening started, and seems to be inching back to GBA style of crit animations, very slightly so.
      What annoys me is how they did pegasus knights. From GBA titles to the Wii game - which I only seen screenshots of - the knights sat behind the wings and had their legs under the wings. But come Awakening to Engage, every rider of a flying unit sits in front - maybe on the shoulder where the wings meet - and have their legs in front of wings. Not a secure riding position. Unless the mount is like a giant bat or a pteranodon, there’s no reason for the rider to sit on shoulders and legs in front of the wings.

    Honestly, having some sort of true ending is something they need to bring back.
    Although that should be more along the lines of FE 6 and not FE 7, because FE 7 just locked away the villains backstory for the "true" ending, which is a really dick move.
    It's nice solving puzzles, but villains drive the plot, so the main villain coming off as some cartoonish Disney villain without it ... was a bad decision, it really was.
    Renault on the other hand ... I loved that.

    Before playing FE 7, I always wondered why everyone loved it. Was it just nostalgia, because it was the first one in the West? But after beating it a few times, I realize it's because it's such a tightly designed experience. It's probably my favorite in the series now, despite never growing up with it (I never expected it to overtake Sacred Stones for me). It's just such a classic, with a slew of memorable characters, bouncy music, and fun scenarios the whole way through.

    Not quite sure how I feel about this, must say that I wasn't a fan of archers in fe7 due to them nerfing effective weapons to do 2X damage instead of 3x
    as well as maps like the night of farewells and the chapter Nino joins being rng heavy.
    Also thieves when promoting into assasins not having the ability to steal is annoying.
    Branch promotion from fe 8 I feel helped though Fe 8 suffers from its easy gameplay.
    Lastly, supports take way to long to grow naturally, unless you take 25+ turns of just turn skipping.

The big "plot twist" moment is still one of the most memorable I've seen. It left a lasting impression on me because it wasn't spoiled unlike other big moments like Vader and the Red Wedding. I would still recommend it today if you've never played it. The only thing imo that hasn't really held up is the difficulty, it's pretty easy if you've been playing games for the last 20+ years.

    You know when I first played this game 3 years ago I was really underwhelmed for some reason but I decided to replay it to give it another chance and to get hyped for Three Houses (since the marketing wasn’t doing it) and I have no idea what I was thinking three years ago, this game rules. Lyn and Hector two of the best characters in the series but Eliwood (who I used to find dull) was like the perfect straight man to this very entertaining trio of a main cast, they play off each other perfectly. The story was really engrossing, it was very well told and the characters really elevated it.
    The dialogue in this game is excellent “your soul is black and devoid of warmth” stuck out. The emotional scenes (primarily the deaths) were really powerful and the villains have way more depth than I remembered (Jaffar is a great character and Nino’s arc was with Sonia was really interesting) or they’re just fun to hate. Each character had a really interesting personality though I would say the support system in the game kinda blows and I wish I got to see more conversations but initial impressions always worked in making them memorable.
    The maps were great, like really great. I’m pretty forgiving of weak map design (I love Echoes) but I always appreciate a game that feels like an excellent 2D platformer where every level/map had tons of thought put into it. The music was really good (though some songs can get repetitive) the battle and talking sprites were excellent (Sad Eliwood always gets me) having side quests was really cool and I felt satisfied whenever I accidentally discovered one.
    My only complaints really are the support system and also the lack of anything else to do... I wanted to spend more time with the characters I got attached to but the game has no post game.

    I agree, I have "Fire Emblem", "Fire Emblem: Sacred Stones", "Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon", "Fire Emblem: Awakening" & "Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia" and there is just something about how cool it looks in that 16-bit context. I guess since the SNES is my favorite console, I can see why.

    • @BeyondPolygons
      @BeyondPolygons  6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I would love to do a whole video on that actually.
      To me, Fire Emblem is all about telling a story throughout the level. Battle Before Dawn sets the right tone of urgency. Zephiel is like 8 turns away from the start of the map, plus there's two directions to go from the start.
      Jaffar is off killing stuff in his area, (And on hard he can totally die) Nino is also vulnerable, thieves running around, plus Ursula with Bolting.
      Every turn you have to make decisions. Locked doors alone leave players wondering if they should rush through it, or take a turn to set up around the door, before unlocking it while everyone can still move like a swat team.
      Also, the bonus objective of getting Nino to talk to Jaffar is great storytelling and YOU the player had to make it happen.
      And then you unlock probably the hardest stage in Eliwood's route, and just a hard stage overall.
      Not to mention Zephiel's importance in FE6, and the fact that this is pretty much the precursor to that entire game.

    There is a reason I keep coming back to FE7 and dropped the 3DS titles. Especially Fates. I found it incredibly boring and the gameplay isn't that special. I never got bored with FE7 and yeah sure some chapters are actual hell (URSULA AND SONYA'S CHAPTERS CAN GO AND DIE) and the story was really interesting, the gameplay is hella fun and not to mention the multiple endings thing. It's so good I go back to play it over and over.

    Also, agreed on all the FE6 chat. That's the one FE game I've never gone back to

    Very nice video. I enjoyed it and overall agree with your thoughts, even though I personally think Radiant Dawn has the best models and attack animations in the entire series. GBA Fire Emblem and FE7 in paticular is thoroughly enjoyble, with great models and animations. However a lot of Radiant Dawn's models are HIGHLY similiar to FE7 counterparts, just look at the Marshall class and compare it with FE7's General. It's practically a perfect match. And the attacks, oh the attacks. I think Radiant Dawn is the one 3d Fire Emblem game to date that maintains the same or at least a very similar power and punch of GBA, while the 3ds titles are.........lacking.........something.

    The Binding Blade/FE6 seems to be the game in the series with the most different opinions on it. Some people think it's the best GBA FE while others think it's on the lower end of all the FE games. Hopefully one day it get's an Echoes remake so I can finally play it myself lol

    Completely agreed on the wonderful 2D sprite graphics in this game. FE games have never looked better than the GBA games. Those sprite animations were so stylish and well done, the low-poly 3D graphics that followed still suffer by comparison IMO. I get why Nintendo would choose to move to 3D, but it definitely came at a cost. The new FE they're making for the Switch is beautiful looking, hopefully it winds up being a good game.

  • @DuskMindAbyss

  • @whitewolf3051
    @whitewolf3051 ปีที่แล้ว

    Blazing Blade when it was localized as just Fire Emblem was my first Fire Emblem game on its release, Sacred Stones my second, Awakening my third, tried Fates...didn’t care much for it, my true fourth being Echoes Shadows of Valentia, tried Three Houses...again didn’t care much for it despite the hype and marketing, and Engage became my true fifth. Didn’t know about the others despite having the system for them.
    All that said, Lyn from Blazing Blade is my all time favorite out of all the Fire Emblem games I played. Too bad she and the tactician couldn’t support. My head canon is that she and the tactician ended up together on the plains, rebuilding her tribe with her as the proper chieftain of her people.
