Fire Emblem

[Sesto]

this game is going to be great

hopefully it sells well so they do more remakes

[Lace]

Good Fire Emblems are an extremely rare breed but I'm rooting for it

Gaiden's OST is really​ good.

Echoes's art is the best I've seen so far, vast improvement even when compared to Fates and Awakening

I'm looking for a relatively easy game to ease me into the gameplay of the older Fire Emblem games. Anyone have any ideas?

FE8 is easy enough. Plus, it's the spiritual successor of Gaiden.

Thanks, will look into it.

FE8 (Sacred Stones, GBA) is by far the easiest game in the series, although it doesn't have casual (no-permadeath) mode.

basically every character will cap at least 3 stats with no effort

[Malgos]

Fire Emblem 7 (Blazing Sword/Blade) is also pretty good for newcomers. It's harder than 8, but it features a pretty good tutorial and is still relatively easy.

[Altaris]

Just, don't play Thracia lol

[asterism42]

Path of Radiance took my FE virginity, though it's basically impossible to get your hands on a copy these days.

[Lace]

I never played it on console in the first place, I just emulated it (rip audio)

If you're looking for an easy FE game, start with 7 or 8. Unless RNGesus decides you're not worth the time, the stat growth there is insane when compared to other FE games.

If you're looking for something a little harder, try starting at Shadow Dragon.

On the topic of difficulty though, what's everyone's opinion of the two latest FE games in the main series? Aside from the casual mode, are the games sufficiently difficult for you guys?

[Neir]

Revelations Fates > Nohr Fates > Awakening > Birthright Fates, imo


also go directly from sacred stones to thracia

Conquest is refreshingly challenging, even on Normal.

Conquest is refreshingly challenging, even on Normal.

"Refreshingly challenging" isn't the words I'd use for chapter 10. Other than that insane chapter though, Conquest was pretty fun to strategize on.

Revelations felt a little underwhelming after that, but the story was at least on par with Conquest. Have no opinion on Birthright though, as I haven't gotten around to buying that yet. Though I probably have no reason too now that Shadow of Valencia is close to release.

you can essentially sleep through birthright

like, physically you could fall asleep on the A button and probably still win fairly easily

I heard that once you get Ryoma, you could just pair him with Corrin and have only him in your army and still win. I guess that's true then?

Pretty much
