well im a fan of these games and i was wondering if the Wii Fire Emblem is better or worse then all the older ones. (the English ones)

legocom11ca · « **Reply #1 on:** January 03, 2008, 12:25:46 PM »

I've never played fire emblem, but my friend keeps telling me to. Perhaps I'll rent the Wii version sometime, since I've heard good things about the series.

I do not know anytihng about the Wii Version. Try going to http://feantho.ipbfree.com/ and asking them. I used to frequent this forum, but I now do not play the games as much so I don't go there anymore.

The first Fire Emblem for GBA is good, the second not so much. And the Gamecube one is horrid.

Fire Emblem is a game that derives it's enjoyment from it's level of difficulty. But the Gamecube installment was so easy that I beat most of it without even taking care to check the range of my opponents characters, and just plowing through.

And according to Gamespot, the Wii version is "punishingly difficult" so I'd say it's going to be better than the Gamecube ones, but it will never touch the GBA ones.

Oooo I always liked punishingly difficult.... well to an extent at least

I'm the guy that refused to play Halo 3 with anyone else or on anything but Legendary my first time through

Got more examples but you get the idea.

The GBA games were amazing. I personally prefer FE7(I was a nerd for a while, The Sacred Stones is the eight installment, with six previous games being in Japanese)

I want to get the Wii version, partially because of the long time it's been since I've played the games, and partially because of the amazingness of the game

Now to necropost this, But with info instead of oh noes I PLAYEDS ITS TOO.
I have been trying to get my hands on any copy of any Fire emblem game, I finally got my hands on a copy of Fire emblem: The Sacred stones and I can now say I completely understand why people love this game. My first time around I fell in love with the swordmaster's (Joshua's) Crits allowing me to do insane damage very quickly even though he had near no defensive capabilities. The second time I did the reverse approach. I abused the general(gilliam), Decent damage, low speed, insane defensive capabilities. I think I am going to go through each time with a different class and just see how far I can go relying on that one class for the most part.

Does anyone else have an issue keeping mages alive?

Anyone who has played the sacred stones, Is it me or do the final bosses near require your dragon girl?

Anyone having played sacred stones and other Fire emblem games, how does it measure up?

Any suggestions for which game to get next?

Which game is the longest?

What is YOUR personal favorite class and why?

Mine is the Swordmaster. At least 25% crit vs almost any unit turns a 7 damage iron sword into a 21 damage blow of death. Not to meantion vs MOST units he gets a second attack. His only two drawbacks are 1 lack of defense B Lances give him trouble.

Actually no, he didn't.

I would suggest the first Fire Emblem for the GBA released in the US (just called Fire Emblem) if you liked Sacred Stones. The gamecube version was ok, but not as enjoyable as the first two. Fire Emblem is in my opinion a series that plays best on a handheld system (can't wait for FE: Shadow Dragon on the DS next year). I never got far in the Wii game, it just got boring early on. Maybe it was because I hate Fire Emblem games with 3D animations, or maybe because the plot wasn't nearly as good, or because the game was just frustrating, idk. I would suggest FE7 though.

As for fun characters...make Ross a Journeyman -> Pirate - > Berserker. You won't regret it if you liked using Joshua as a swordmaster. Berserkers are so awesome, and Ross is the best one. Also, Ewan makes an AMAZING Druid (or Sage, but I prefer Druid, Dark magic is better than Light in that game). I agree, Generals are awesome, definitely one of my favorite classes. I don't really remember the last boss, but I spent more time than I should have just leveling up all my favorite characters into powerhouses.

I personally liked Fire Emblem (GBA) better than FE: Sacred Stones, I think the plot was better, and it was more difficult, partly because you couldn't just go level up in the Tower of Valni whenever the chapters got tough. It's also MUCH longer, and has a much deeper storyline. It doesn't have the flexible

Not sure exactly what my favorite class is, I have like 4...Druid, Swordmaster, Berserker, General in no particular order...they're the classes that just plow through tons of enemies at once, I love it.

TheKarazyvicePresidentRR · « **Reply #9 on:** December 18, 2008, 04:20:02 PM »

I only visited the tower to get my characters class ups. So That end boss was murder.

I lacked any lvl 20 classes cept my general end game.

Most have decent speed to dodge. Try helping that area.

Anyone who has played the sacred stones, Is it me or do the final bosses near require your dragon girl?

Myrrh is unneeded actually. Anyone can beat that thing.

Anyone having played sacred stones and other Fire emblem games, how does it measure up?

Sacred Stones is juveile compared to a fully developed fire emblem game. It was rushed through development due to unexpected North American popularity.

Any suggestions for which game to get next?

Fire Emblem for the GBA. Best one you can get (legally).

Which game is the longest?

Ditto from last one.

Anyone who has played the sacred stones, Is it me or do the final bosses near require your dragon girl? Myrrh died my first time on the lvl I got her.

Anyone having played sacred stones and other Fire emblem games, how does it measure up? I've only played SS, but that was awesome

Any suggestions for which game to get next? I hear good things about the first GBA one, but I really want to try the Wii and GC ones.

What is YOUR personal favorite class and why? obviously trainees, I mean, who doesn't like n00bs? I do like Ross, but currently, he's only a lvl 20 Pirate, so I haven't seen what his next class could be. Swordmasters are fun, but I didn't train Joshua early enough on, so mine wasn't that great. Don't use assasin. I really like Generals, but Great Knights (well, Duessel) are better. now for my real favorite: Wyvern Knight. Cormag IS AWESOME!

What I do with the Swordmaster is give them Marisa's Shamshir and a bunch of Killing Edges. ends up with around 50% of critical.

wow, why would anyone keep Amelia as a trainee? unless you use the Master Crest...

how doyou hack a GBA game?

Isildur · « **Reply #15 on:** December 18, 2008, 07:10:05 PM »

Sacred Stones Failed. I got a hacked version of the DS a couple months ago and I have to say it is Hardcore its like playing FF7 on Hard but you are really playing easy mode in the DS one!

If sacred stones is the worst of the bunch I can't wait to get FE (Original)

the story was lame, but Ephraim's path is not easy. it's also fun to try different things, such as trying to not let 1 person die while not changing their classes until lvl 20. I'm on easy and having a difficult time with Valdegarde or whoever the king of grado was.

TheKarazyvicePresidentRR · « **Reply #20 on:** December 19, 2008, 11:18:29 PM »

Eph's path gave me a slight bit of trouble till my general hit lvl 20, then it was alot easier cuz I'd just deploy him a healer and eph.

Same question but more I will trade attacktix/Cards for an copy of the original FE.

wow, you had a General at lvl 20 by the time you faced Videgarde? My Cormag keeps getting killed by a crit. hit. and I'm trying to not let anyone die, so it's a bit of a time consumer

JSB23 · « **Reply #24 on:** December 20, 2008, 01:39:16 PM »

well of course he's killed by critical hit it being a Final Smash and all
