Current Events > This new Fire Emblem is really fun and refreshing >_>

(+) Yeah! (+)

I liked the new systems like using HP for magic and everyone only having 1 inventory slot. It makes you think differently on how you act in your next turn. Plus the story (so far) is actually not dog shit compared to Fates, so that's a plus >_> The dungeons are pretty fun to explore and walking into random villages on your path and just talking to random peeps for sidequests is cool and different from other FE games.

My only complaints so far are:

-90% of the maps are giant flat squares with dots of terrain on it. Once in a while you'll actually get something unique but most of the time you're fighting on the same map basically

-You can't fuck anyone of your choosing. Celica is cute and all but I'd rather thrust my silver sword inside Clair's ocean shrine if you know what I mean >_>

-Enemy reenforcements on the map screen can get tedious at times if you neglect one of the main characters for too long. So you kinda gotta switch back and forth if you don't want extra fights heading into the unused character if you're cleaning house on the map with the other character for too long.


Otherwise the game is hella fun. I like it so far.

I'm not surprised that the story is better, it's basically a remake of an older FE.

Catria tho. Best pegasus sister.

I guess another con would be how fucking annoying Cantors are >_>

Sonia has big titties

I tried liking Awakening but I couldn't stand the weeb shit. The battle system was great though. Would I like the new game?

The story is better. There's still anime character designs and tropes sometimes (ie: Mae and Faye). idk if you'll be turned off by that tho

It's definitely nice but I think I prefer Fates overall still

A remake of Path of Radiance/Radiant Dawn would be the tits though

Sucks brah

I'm only like 2 battles in but I'm enjoying it so far. The damage output is... refreshing. Enemies are taking like 4 different attacks to die, and my people need like 5 or 6 hits to die.

It's much better than the OHKO fest that Fates and Awakening devolved into, and I hope it's not the same for this.

Playing hard/classic because I'm not a bitch.
---

Yeah OHKOs are pretty rare on both sides. The mechanics are basically untouched from the NES version

Mechanically 9 and 10 still hold up pretty well. The only change I'd really have on 9 is showing the stats during the battle animations. They just need to release them on the Virtual Console. I'm honestly surprised they haven't already given the series' newfound popularity.

They need to remake Genealogy of the Holy War. It has the best story, great (though very large) maps, and an emphasis on pairing for the Awakening/Fates fans.

I want them to remake FE10 and add actual support conversations because some of the ones in FE9 were great like Rolf and Tauroneo.

Ugh I would love a remake of Genealogy of the Holy War. That might be my favorite Fire Emblem game. Obviously they'd have to nerf the Holy weapons, but I think the newer gen of players (primarily new to 3DS would love it).

Apparently the director of Shadows of Valentia said his dream project would be a remake of Binding Blade, another great choice.

Which still results in an entirely different play style than casual even if the net result of no one dying is ultimately the same. I don't even have a problem with casual mode but the "classic players do the same thing by resetting" is not a good argument.

Yep. That's literally why I play casual. If I'm going to reset when someone dies anyway, I might as well cut the middleman >_>

You have Mila's Turnwheel in this game. There's no point in Casual mode in this game.

I hear you there. I love the series but in the older games it got real old getting hit with a crit that had a 2% chance and restarting the whole map.

And yeah I'm about 10 hours into Echoes and loving it so far. At times it can feel a bit slow but I'm enjoying everything, the lack of constant one hit kills really expands things. Maps can be meh but still engaging.

I didn't know about that until after I started playing >_> I was too far in by that point.

It's essentially an instant game over

I don't mind it in older games but consider how BS the crit rates of you and the enemy can get in Awakening/Fates, there's a greater element of luck involved which isn't a play style I think anyone should enjoy
