Currently playing through Echoes. I just finished Act I.
My succinct impression of this game is "lackluster interactive anime". I feel like I've been lied to by all the hype, because this is somehow more brainless than Birthright.Everything you say and do matters. People will respond in ways you may never see. May those responses be what you intend.- PJ.

Update: Just finished Act 2. Not much has changed. Super tactics tech in this game appears to be "choke that point" and "don't throw low-Res units at mages".
Quickly checking around, it looks like this game is pretty polarizing in the fanbase. This must be what I get for liking Radiant Dawn so much.
Genny and Celica could probably take Act 2 on by themselves. Genny is not fair in all the best ways.Last edited by Vi on Sat Jun 24, 2017 6:14 am, edited 2 times in total.Everything you say and do matters. People will respond in ways you may never see. May those responses be what you intend.- Cabd

It's definitely nothing like the GBA or Console era; but that's okay and I enjoy it on its own merits.

Not-an-edit: Mae is the best part of the full voice acting by far.

Good choice. Despite being the first game released in the US, FE7 may still be the overall best experience.Andrius wrote:I tried to convert Papa Zito to try FE7 in sitechat yesterday so maybe he'll be joining us here.Everything you say and do matters.

It does piss me off that she's the hidden dancer of this game and there's zero indication of that until you read a guide.

Not spoilers. It's based upon what you make her in the beginning of the game. That's the point.ShowHave retired for good; Life is too busy to have time or energy for mafia. It was fun~

I had to put Echoes down. I just couldn't bring myself to drag myself through it any more. I got as far as Jedah's map without touching Act 4 Alm.
(It looks like low-deployment is the way to play this game?)
---
So instead I finished another Birthright random reclass run, because I was not yet cured of wanting to play this game. Birthright is still bad but this team was too hilarious not to try.
In this run I learned that Hayato is basically the worst unit in Fates. I also got to test my theory that it doesn't really matter when you promote; it's basically true. I think I nailed the promotion schedule, actually; people only hit the level cap in Ch. 27.

As much as I love radiant dawn. The one thing that gets me is how long some of the chapters are which is both really cool and really bad. On one hand you have a epic enduring defense chapter like 2-E, where Haar, Brom and the others do their best to hold the line, but I have the bad habit of getting unlucky now and then and have someone die near the chapters end usually calling for a restart. I remember on one of my more recent playthroughs I had Lethe die in that chapter after Geoffrey and gang showed up and just said "screw it, she isn't an important unit this time around anyways."
Otherwise, the game is among my favorites with PoR FE7, and Conquest just beating it.- Andrius

Bumping this thread because I have a need to talk about Fire Emblem.
First off I might finally buckle and get ECHOES. I need more FE in my life and the fact that Vi's opinion is holding me back both scares me and doesn't.

I wanted to like this game. At one point I was promised more tactics and spells-cost-HP and having to make tactical decisions but there's only so much anime crap I can handle.
Second off:
Its mostly royals and while I'm no scholar on the game, I *really* don't think Warriors is worth it without like, double the starting characters. No DLC, just more characters. Because half the fun of a DW game is 50 or so characters with their special moves and unique weapons and Warriors' two dozen or so and DLC ones doesn't cut it for me.In post 314, Andrius wrote:I'm hoping Fire Emblem Warriors is going to be great and not 40% made up of Fates characters.
The defense missions in FE10 are among my favorite defense missions ever.In post 325, Spiffeh wrote:Part 2 is such an underrated part of the game pls enjoy it
2-F, 3-5; even 4-1 is good.

I'm still in act one of echoes but I love it so far.

I put 200+ hours into advance wars dual strike but haven't finished a Fire Emblem game yet. Maybe I am playing the wrong ones. I can't remember the name of the last one I played but like you get Lucina from smash late in the game and every other level enemies ambush from the edges of the map unannounced and that's kind of annoying because permadeath??
I usually find the dialogue cute enough but the gameplay doesn't feel compelling/fun."Let us say that you are right and there are two worlds. How much, then, is this 'other world' worth to you? What do you have there that you do not have here? Money? Power? Something worth causing the prince so much pain for?'"
"Well, I..."
