What was the best Fire Emblem game, and why was it Sacred Stones?

What was the best Fire Emblem game, and why was it Sacred Stones?

4 > 8 > 14 > the rest

Sacred Stones and FE7 were solid as fuck.

10 > 7 > 9 > 8 > awakening > conquest > rest

is FE6 good?

all the gba games are trash

Im a huge gbafag but that's wrong bro

I couldn't really get over it's habit of spawning new enemies on the map at the start of their turn. After three or four chapters of
>suddenly there are enemies behind me and now my archer/mage/healer is dead
I just quit while I was ahead.

All the 3DS games are trash.

Ambush reinforcements are cancer in all their forms. I like what they do to the game flow but I don't like that they appear without warning. If I was to make my own FE I'd make reinforcements that act on the turn they arrive have a highlight or something the turn before they appear. That way you still get warning, but can't just one-round the enemies as they appear.

12>5>9>3>10>4>14c>7>=6>8>11>TMS>14b>=13>1>2>=14r

4 had the best Story

Every single game ever made is trash.

Because you're wrong and it was 7.

well this is it, it's pure trial and error most of the time so the "surprise" is completely irrelevent after the first time you get your backline caught because of some bullshit. Really don't like the mechanic there should be an indicator and highlighted squares that count down at least 1 turn in advance if not more where reinforcements are going to spawn

Every entertainment media ever made is shit.

Experience in general is complete shit.

Threadly reminder that Ike is the actual mary sue in tellius

I was told Sacred Stones is trash, because you can level everyone to 20 twice or thrice.

>Most people he meets don't like him
>Gradually earns people's respect through his actions
The only thing mary-sue about Ike is that the Greil Mercenaries put him in charge instead of Titania.

>no one respects the upstart young commander
>they do a few things here and there
>now everyone worships him and the ground he walks on, even his enemies
>vast majority of the sequel's plot is just the narrative jerking him off for being so amazing

sure, no mary sue traits at all

>put him in charge instead of Titania
Still never understood why she wasn't the one in charge. He was gonna take over one day though.

I don't care whether Ike is a mary sue or not but I'm sick of westcucks acting like he's the best thing ever and trashing on every other lord who dares to not be exactly like ike.

ike is boring. two games with him was more than enough

I guess the 3DS games are super trash then because you can level everyone as many times as you want.

>First fire emblem to let you grind through any difficulty
>best
No

This. I feel like this goes for Tellius in general. People talk about how great the worldbuilding was, but I don't see it. It felt really generic, and even though Radiant Dawn complicated the plot a little, it also made it fucking stupid. Elibe had a much more fleshed out world, though I think that had something to do with the ten-chapter road trip that was the tutorial. Tellius and the Radiant games in general were just like Ike. Servicable, good looking, and memorable enough, but bland and surrounded by far more interesting things.

It's okay. Roy's a shitty lord in both story and gameplay, the characters are for the most part awful, and the plot is a straight rehash of at least one earlier game, and the RNG wants your fucking head, but it's a good solid challenge with a lot of good maps.

But that's not Gaiden.
