What do you think of Sacred Stones?

Sisterfucker

Fun game, I like the Myrms in it the most out of all of FE I think.

Needs a remake with hidari's art.

I kill L'Arachel in every playthrough because Gheb is a faggot

incest is wincest

What's that?
-Intelligent Systems

I appreciate it for being one of very few games in the series that attempt to deviate from the Shadow Dragon template in any meaningful way, although it is unfortunately too short and too easy.
I wish the Eirika and Ephraim routes had been a full party split like Gaiden, considering how much of the game was otherwise clearly inspired by it.

Best fire emblem couple by far

My first Fire Emblem game, I really like it

I like it. First of the GBA games I played. Easy as fuck, though. Also Joshua is my favorite myrm in the series.

Way better than fates or God forbid awakeningshit.

one of my favorite FEs despite being too ez.

underrated villains, great soundtrack, but the GBA support system being ass hurts its characters.

I mean characters join 5 chapters away from the end and I'm expected to spend 120 turns with them stapled next to each other? Why is anyone expected to do thag?

Probably my favorite of the GBA games, has an amazing OST. Only real complaint is difficulty, even intentionally gimping myself by never using Seth and keeping grinding to an absolute minimum on hard mode its still really easy.

Took an entire 11 posts, Sup Forums is improving.

Well it did make a bit more sense since you can go out of the way to grind it, but that makes the game even MORE easy, seriously i would have been fine with Valni tower and such not giving exp, only the occasional item or gold for the issue.

>I mean characters join 5 chapters away from the end and I'm expected to spend 120 turns with them stapled next to each other?
The shitty support system is the only thing I absolutely hate about the GBA games. At least in FE8 you can just waste turns in the tower or in skirmishes. If your doing any sort of efficiency run ranked/LTC you will never have time for anything besides very fast supports like Eliwood/Hector C. FE8 doesn't even have rankings for the campaign either so getting supports would only be limited by self imposed challenges or LTC runs.

Meant for

I'm new to fire emblem as a whole and curious about what do people exactly mean by easy when they compare it to other games? I'm playing sacred stones right now and I've failed on some missions a couple of time. Are other games just mechanically harder, AI or maybe I'm just too inexperienced to see it?

The game has free, easy grinding and starts you with a unit that can solo the entire game

easy for FE standards

fe is tough when figuring it out as there's a lot of things you don't know, and you can't have the best plan when going in blind

Once you've played the games more you get better

Fuck off awakeningbaby

Ooh I see. I haven't been using Seth because he was exp vacuuming and I haven't encountered anything I could grind on yet but I don't really plan on doing any. Just beat the fog mission where you have to rescue the three villagers think it was chapter six and it was pretty fun altough I lost my cavalier Franz to an out of nowhere guy with an anti rider weapon. Thanks for the info

>shits on Awakening while praising Awakening 0.5

I liked how even absolute nobodies like Amelia, Neimi, Gerik, and Kyle all had somewhat intricate backstories

>gerik
>nobody
Pick one dumbass

Ephraim mode he's not exactly deep, and in Eirika mode his main point is being hired to defend Innes.

>leader of a mercenary band
>good friends with important characters
>bffs with Joshua

I love it. It's unironically my favorite GBA entry as well.

He can literally die in the chapter you get him, and the game's story won't change at all (except that you can't recruit Marisa in Eirika mode)

Baby mode FE, and the most forgettable cast outside of Thracia.

>tfw they won't be in FE Warriors
The new sibling pair doesn't look too appealing

I would say 8's cast is more memorable than 1-3, or 6

...

Flawed but I love it. Scorched Sand is probably my favorite FE chapter.

You would be saying something wrong.

>most forgettable cast outside of Thracia
That's not 7.

>implying that FE6's isn't more forgettable.

Characters only get interesting in supports that 99% of players won't see considering how awkward getting them is.

>forgettable cast
Lady L'el is more memorable than 90% of the series.

Who?

Fagvel babies are very defensive about their forgettable characters and how it was the easiest game in the franchise for the longest time.

Eirika's wife

yo
You talking shit about my Amelia?

I think the lower playable unit counts help a lot in this regard. FE6/7 had quite a few throw away or completely worthless units with FE6 being worst by far in that aspect. FE6 had 50 some odd units, FE7 had roughly 10 less, then FE8 it went down to 33.

Quality over quantity basically.

-Fe1/3 has loads of replacement units that are notoriuous for not being as good as the units you get in the first 5 chapters.
-FE6 is the same, but to a lesser degree
-FE5 90% f the cast is garbage compared to the early game units.

There are the only games with unit bloat problems.

Emulated it on my phone and am playing it between the fe:heroes dry phases.

I like it and it is my first fire emblem game besides heroes feels niicu.

wasn't even talking difficulty my guy

FE6's main plot has some dry characters. Guin and Merlinus don't develop and Roy is just along for the ride. Zeph is rad but you rarely see him.

Well she's not particularly important in the main story, but at the same time has a detailed backstory, and some nice supports.
>her mum gets kidnapped by bandits, whilst she can do nothing but hide.
>Duessel happens to recognise her
>She ends up going to Duessel for training after Franz asks her if she'll be his rival/competitive partner
>Duessel sees the resemblence and re-unites mother and daughter.

How come it had two non-lords in the top 20/20 for the Heroes poll, same amount as FE7 (and one of them was Dorcas)

I wanted them in FEW but they've already decided they want a shit roster.

I fucking love incest

Aren't you supposed to use the strong early unit that you get as a insurance for shitty situations.

I never killed anyone with the op unit until late game so that my other characters can level up better. On many missions I didn't even take the op with me.

The best you can do is hope it's 4-5 characters per continent DLC they do, or that it does well enough for an Xtreme Legends, or sequel.

In some of the games yes, they are there to protect weaker early units and help them grow, but then they have shit growths and stop being useful after a few missions. Seth in 8 has good growths and can keep up with your army the entire game, and can be used throughout the whole game as your only unit with no difficulties

That's a nice army you have there.

Would be a shame if something were to happen to it.

Probably my favorite game overall, if it wasn't so short.

Probably my most replayed Fire Emblem due to the length and difficulty. I think it has a super underrated cast. The only game I where like the characters more is Path of Radiance.

Seth is good enough in FE8 that soloing the game with him is not difficult, and might be the easiest way to beat the game.

Lowmanning has always been a viable strategy in FE, and generally the most efficient. Its just more obvious in Sacred Stones.

If you add the 8 tower levels, 10 lagdou levels, melkanen coast, and the other 6 for the route split there's a hefty amount

This guy could become God Emperor if he wanted, and literally no one would be able to stop him.

Yes, but most of that's post game stuff with no plot or significance. Really, the best solution would be to make both routes playable at once, but that opens up a can of worms as to how that'd work.

>the moment you realize he's still wounded from his initial fight
Imagine what an undamaged Seth would be like.

That would be fairly easy to do, split the roster up so some go with Eph, some go with Eirika, and alternate the two, as a failsafe Kyle and Forde have to go with Eph, Seth, and Joshua have to go with Eirika so you can't fully gimp one army.

Characters are recruited on either route, Gerik, and Tethys appear in Eirika's route, Tana in Eph's etc.

Proof that FE oldcucks are nothing but hypocritical contrarians

>dump on 13 and 14 (wtf)for being to easy
>meanwhile seth is brocken as heck

>dump on 13 and 14 chars for being generic animu cliches
>ss has generic princess, generic bodyguard, generic shonen protag, generic baraqueer b8 vs generic emperor and the generic criminal squad

Anime tropes are FAR more annoying than fantasy ones

Most fun of the GBA's but paced like shit

Innes, you aren't valuable, life just happened that way, man.

/ss/ still manages to have more depth in both plot and cast than either Awakening or Fates though. All of them barring Conquest have shit tier difficulty as well.

filler post

But I like Awakening and Fates isn't nearly as bad as people claim.
Maybe you just have a complex because you took criticism of the game as an attack on (You)r waifu.

Your first point only works if somebody was praising the difficulty, 140 is the only post that says anything that could even be considered praise

Your second point is focusing on the main characters rather than the sub-characters that the posts were talking about.

The worst part is, only two of them directly insulted the 3DS and its fanbase, and another said FEW's roster will be shit.

user-san was so pathetic that half the posts he had a tantrum over weren't even about Awakening or Fates

FE8 Midori hack does this and its rad, although not knowing who goes on which route split is kinda dumb.

I kinda like the pacing a lot more than FE7. If the earlygame was a bit shorter and lategame longer it would be perfect

Best mage, in the entire series
Also my waifu

Are you me?

>Best mage in the entire series
That's not +Magic - Str. 3rd Gen Morgan is Ricken!Laurent!Morgan as a Sage is 56, 66 with Limit Breaker, 75 with pair up. Valflame makes 80, Mag+2 and All Stats+2 makes 84, Barracks makes 88. Tiki's Tear makes 90, rallies makes 100. Tomefaire makes 105, Defender makes 106 and Special Dance makes 108.

That's the wrong purple haired mage, try again.

Wow an autistic mage girl, I bet this trope will never be used in future games.

>letting Ricken, Miriel and Laurent breed
eww

Lute's the endearing type of autism. Miriel is just autistic.

I liked Ewan more, but I just had a soft spot for all three recruit units. Lute is pretty great though. Was a beast in my projectiles only run.

>ss/ still manages to have more depth in both plot and cast than either Awakening or Fates though.

Thanks for proving my point yet again

t. brainlet

Execution is important, but even if it weren't you're implying your game is shit too

filler

Daily reminder that GR3 exists.

Then you shouldn't like fe8, faggotron

-Ephraim is bae
-Franz is the best cavalier in everyway
-Lute is the GOAT, along with her husband Artur
-Summoner is garbage, but it's such a fun concept that I don't give a shit and will use Knoll for fun.
-Use [Mine Trap] glitch so Sage Lute can use Dark Magic, because fuck yes.

Except the 3ds games are nothing like that. Try playing it, cuckmeister.
>WAAAAH STAHP LIEKING 3DS GAEM OR I BAN J00

kys

You're a filler human being, faggotron

filler

You do realize that autistic number grinding doesn't make a character interesting in any way right?

It has Joshua and a nice final boss, that's about it.
It's just as broken, piss easy and stupid as the average FE.

I filled ur mums mouth

make sure to clean up the dirt and return the shove

HAHA INCEST AND GRINDING AMIRITE
THAT'S THE ONLY THING ANYONE SHOULD KNOW OR CARE ABOUT FROM FE8 AND IF YOU DONT THEN YOU NEED TO BE OBLITERATED FROM EXISTENCE
LOL

I've played almost every game on this list in the last couple of months and I can definitively say that this is the correct ranking of FE games.

same turn reinforcements really got you down i see

>Radiant Dawn
>praising the story

Great, now play the other half of the series

FE10 may be a mess, but I'd sooner go back to it than any of the New FE games.

Oh you've changed it a bit. Still a bad list but it's a little closer to being right with RD at the top.
