I chose Birthright first

I think it was the wrong choice

It's weird actually because I thought Awakening was one of FE's weaker titles and I knew full well Birthright was exactly like Awakening and still went with it lol

It's also annoying that pairing up is a necessity in the higher difficulties (at least at my skill level) and I fucking hate that mechanic

And idk if I was just RNG screwed but my main character is by far my worst unit :(

It's a great game overall I just probably should have started with Conquest to get what I was looking for, and I might have went in with too high of expectations

FE is still my favorite game series though so everyone should play it.

Idk what it is I just have no motivation to play it

Like I don't think I've played an FE where I don't care about the character this much since Shadow Dragon

This is so weird I just started to replay PoR last night and I see this thread has doubled its size!

I'm on Ch. 8 which is the Defense chapter where Illyana can be recruited.

My Oscar is like level 11 and hasn't received ONE increase in strength. Also Soren just sucks for whatever reason. Luckily Ike and surprisingly Boyd are Gods and picking up their slack.

I'll try to keep you guys up to date!

I've never played any variant of DW and I would have preferred a main series game on the Switch

Even though we just got Fates in the summer lul

Idk I like PoR and Radiant Dawn over the recent 3DS games so I kinda want them to go back to a main series release on a home console even though I don't think that will happen :(

I'm at like chapter 18 in path of radiance, and all the guys I consider core (like basically not my theif?) are lvl 3-5 into second promotion outside of ike. I just walk through battles without using any strategy almost. I think I also go a ridiculous Oscar randomly.
Yeah PoR is ridiculously easy unless you're on hard mode and then it's "moderate"

If they included Maniac in the U.S. release like they did in Japan's release it would be more playable

But I agree with Flum that story and world are really good and I think PoR-RD played in a row have the best story in the Fire Emblem series

I'm only now getting a true measure of just how awful this game is.
Yeah I've never finished any of the Fates trilogy because
1. Birthright bored me to tears and I stopped halfway through
2. For Conquest (admittedly the best one and the only playable one) I'm stuck on the mission with all the fucking ninjas and other shuriken-armed things
3. Revelations has an ridiculous difficulty spike out of nowhere that only your Avatar can stand up to???

I'm really hoping Echoes is good

In post 238, Vi wrote:Conquest is like that Ch. 17, right? That's the first of several levels where being able to hit a certain Def threshold makes the game so much easier (in this case, it's 25, 27, or 29 depending on difficulty). What's your team like?
Don't remember off the top of my head (it's been like at least 3 months since I've played) but I'll boot it up later today and let you know :P

The recent FE games for 3DS have been a mixed bag for me so I'm excited that we're finally getting another home console release!

I'm already 24 hours (Chapter 7) into Three Houses because I have no self control.

Enjoying it a lot so far, the characters and especially their supports are a breath of fresh air compared to the dumpster fire they gave us in Fates! I also really like how central being a teacher at the Monastery is to the game, and all the new mechanics really help in bonding with your students and building the world.

My only real complaint is that it's a little too easy so far. I am on Hard/Classic and haven't felt the same level of challenge that the Hard modes of other Fire Emblem have given me.
