I liked Tear Ring Saga best. Fite me.

Does anyone has that GBA rom hack "Fire Emblem Girls" ?

Cant seem to find a working download link

FE4 is completely translated iirc, I think it was called project naga. FE5 is being worked on but the guy making it turned out to be incompetent and incapable of doing things that should be fairly rudimentary for someone making a Super Nintendo translation.

Camilla is a godsend on CQ. I've always liked getting really strong wyverns, like her, Minerva and Miledy who can beef up your army in a major way as soon as they join. The pegasus trios are also usually really fun to use, with my favorite unit of all of them being Farina from FE7.

Echoes was good, but the odds of that happening again are unlikely.

>>15792961

>and I will never touch the series because of it.

Why?

I got into it because of how cool Ike seemed from it, yeah but that didn't really affect my enjoyment of the series.

>>15792961

I like tactics games, but Fire Emblem always seemed pretty dull to me.

>>15792967

I got into FE because of Roy in Melee. Similarly, I got into Earthbound, Mother 1 and 3 because of Ness.

Where the fuck have you been? FE4 was finished like two years ago. I have no idea where FE5 is though.

I’ve stopped giving a shit about the series. Wake me up when something other than mobile garbage and the terrible looking Switch game is on the horizon.

>>15792961

>Good porn though

I have memorized all pre-heroes doujins/artist cgs because there used to be just so little material for the old titles. I had to resort to Nich industry or whatever his name was a couple times.

<<15792468

Literally who would fight you on that? Go be retarded somewhere else.

Also does anyone have the Ike/Roy comparison picture?

>>15793025

He's probably the kaga fanboy who felt like he was "going against the culture for liking his games" because of that one time FE4 and 5 got criticized in these threads

>>15793044

Who are you talking to?

>>15793030

That happened exactly once and the anon promptly had his shit kicked in.

>>15792951

>Balance

Eat shit. Tell me, what does the balance add? Would making someone shit or leveling everyone to be equally useful add something? No. When you add any variation to units, then there will always be an imbalance, something is always inherently better.

>big maps

It literally lets you save for this reason.

Your entire criticism is "waaah I suck at video games." No wonder SS is your favorite.

>>15792951

>they also took out the weapon triangle

The weapon triangle was literally introduced in FE4 though? What the hell are you talking about? Thracia?

Cause its technically still there(its nerfed to fuck though)

>and in the GBA games IIRC, reinforcements could move on the same turn they show up. How is that fair?

They weren't Nobody actually likes ambush spawns, though most of them are pretty predictable and basically boiled down to "don't leave weak units at the start of the map".

The actual way to play reliably is to not attack on your turn unless its very favorable to you, otherwise just heal instead. Crits aren't really an issue outside of Genealogy really, cause no other game is filled with killer weapons and most of them have 0 luck enemies(and you can avoid pursuit modifiers in Thracia).

Sacred Stones "balance" comes at it being piss easy.

>>15793108

That was probably my least favorite thing about SS, along with it being too easy, period. It completely fucked up the pacing and feel of the story. I played it on hard from the start and I don't think I ever lost at any map, except maybe the ones where you had to save those people on the mountain, and the one where you rescue Innes

>>15793127

To be fair, SS is easy as piss even without grinding; stuff like Seth really breaks the game due to the weird experience bonus for promoted units.

And most of the maps are easy as well. I remember dying on the mountain map as well however

>>15792951

>sacred stones is balanced

>fire emblem games are unbalanced

You are fucking bad at the game. If you need to grind or use arena then your tactics are shit.

>>15793142

I know. I don't see how anyone would even need grinding in that game to begin with. I did my best to avoid it when I could because the challenge was already sorely lacking, but there were a few random encounters here and there.

Even if you don't use Seth or limit your use of him its still piss-easy. The main times I remember having trouble is when exceptionally weak units that you would gain or gain in the future on the map die.

A few other times are starting to come back to me now, the map where you get Ewan (another mountain map), and the map where you get Amelia were annoying for that reason, but at least it forces you to be creative and fast for those reasons. They handled side objectives and map design for the Amelia map quite well, I'll admit.

>>15793153

FE8 has good map design in general. The reason it's so easy is monster enemy quality - the endgame enemies have no stats so it doesn't matter how well placed they are. Midgame human enemies are the scariest things you'll face, and even then they aren't too tough to deal with as ideally most of your units are promoted by that point.

>>15792951

The more I read this post the more ridiculous you sound. You are bad at video games. Go play Heroes.

>>15793161

Unit quality is still pretty poor in SS though even for the humans really. And really its not monsters fault, they aren't even that much worse off than the average class(except for the Revenant/Entombed who have quality base stats of nearly all 0's). The whole weak to the legendary weapons thing might actually be the killing blow for any difficulty coming from them though.

The scaling in FE8 class growths is actually really bad, the main failure of the games difficulty is clearly the quality of the enemies.

>>15793178

That's what I said, it was enemy quality that brought the game down. Only midgame enemies were any trouble, and even then not really. Do you see, or do I need to repeat myself a second time?

>>15793183

No i just meant to pull any blame from the monsters themselves. That was my only intention actually.

FE5 has grown on me, it's frustrating but it's an SRPG sandbox where you can do crazy shit like this.

I'm rereading this and son of a double jigaboo you are fucking stupid.

>in fact, I'm proud - to have savescummed like crazy for FE4.

Honest question; did you know there was a save feature?

>>15793190

>>15793246

Its Kaga's Wild Ride for a reason. Imagine if they were able to fit it into FE4 like they wanted to.

>FE4 remake

I'm scared of how much an My Unit and waifu shit would fuck that up. Also less disastrously they'd introduce a playable dark mage or two and use the FE10 magic triangle of Light>Dark>(thunder>fire>wind>thunder)>Light.

>>15793178

>>15793161

its ironic that the game most similar to Awakening has the opposite problems

Awakening does:

>shit map design

>overpowered enemies

>grinding is effectively necessary on the higher/highest difficulties as a result of this due to unit strength being the most important factor (that or just using freddy + the most OP units and pairing them all up)

Sacred Stones:

>solid map design

>enemies are so shit that you don't even have to do anything to win the maps outside of move your units forward rendering it moot

>has so many grinding features that, because the game is so easy, only gets in the way and overall impedes the game and reduces any tight focus it would've possibly had

>>15793269

>FE10 magic triangle of Light>Dark>(thunder>fire>wind>thunder)>Light.

Light being stronger than everything else isn't as big of an issue when realize how rare it is. I'd rather they just make fire and thunder stronger, like make fire have pants-shittingly high mt and give thunder have the ability to crit.

>>15793256

Wait eh?

I don't remember Thracia being a cut part of Genealogy, i know there were cut parts and realistically based off of the fact that dismounting was intended that indoor maps probably existed for it but actually being a part of it?

If Thracia was a part of Genealogy it probably would not have the meme mechanics like movement stars and pursuit multiplier though.

>>15793269

There is a decent chance it'll just be Echoes tier, a mild improvement in some places but not really fixing any problems in any meaningful fashion.

Though i do have a bad feeling about the story getting neutered.

Course it could be like 12 where they did fuck it up the ass with a my unit, they've already done it once so the worries aren't unfounded

A dark mage might be passable if he doesn't totally fuck the story and is just another case of Salem(if they actually do try i expect them to fuck it up though).

>>15793298

I think you misread it, Light is super effective to dark but weak to the elements, whereas dark is strong to the elements. Genealogys was just that light/dark were effective against the elements.

I say this every time Fire Emblem comes up around here, but I miss when the series was about war and your dudes and not a glorified waifu simulator. The decline started with FE11, but the series has turned into casualized garbage, character writing becoming even more bland and one dimensional than ever, and the characters themselves being over designed to the point of stupidity.

>>15793342

Everyone has been aware of this since Awakening anon, and the naive ones who didn't learned when Fates came along

>>15793342

Missed the boat by 5 years dude.

>>15793347

>>15793353

I know it's stating the obvious, I just miss what the series was through Radiant Dawn. RD had its problems, but it's overall a pretty good game and actually makes it feel like there's a war going on.

>>15793342

FE11 wasn't bad. It was bland graphically but still solid mechanically and while the story is simple, being based on a 1990 game, what little there is was written well. FE12 was also good, but it's where the MyUnit cancer began with too much of the story just being the player sucking Marth's dick while everyone else sucks the player's dick.

The real sin of FE11 was bringing back reinforcements that spawn at the start of enemy phase even though FE7-10 got rid of that.

>>15793339

Yeah the Treasure Interview, part 3 sounded odd from description; it just sounded like exposition, but that can't have made a whole part could it?

Still who could have pushed such a part forward as a villain? Loptous? I guess that weird thing where he came out of Julius might have been more important.

>>15793365

My problem with FE11 specifically is being able to switch a unit's class. Let's say the most powerful class in a game is Paladin. I dunno what the actual most powerful class in 11 is, but Paladin tends to be pretty strong in every game. Well, in a different game, you'd be limited by however many cavalier/paladin characters are in the game. Some might have bad stats. Some other characters might have really good stats, but be weaker classes. The choice of team you take has to factor all this in. And even if you have enough paladins available to field a full team of them, the game is going to punish you hard if you get to a map with difficult terrain that slows them (say, a swamp or desert map) since your other units that aren't as hindered will all be weak.

With the ability to switch between classes at will though, you can just pick the characters with the best stats, put them in the best class and steamroll. And if a swamp/desert map does come up, it's no problem, you just switch them to another strong class that isn't hindered. The only real consideration for which classes you is which characters have the best combination of bases and growths, where before class was a significant factor. I'd say personality counted and could be influence a player's decision, but modern FE characters are so bland and lack actual personality that it isn't the case anymore.

What romhacks do you like?

Road to Ruin, Staff of Ages and Order of the Crimson Arm are pretty nice.

Road to Ruin is polished enough that only the broken survival stars (Units leaving for storyline purposes and player controlled generic units dying kills your survival stars, though you get stars back when units come back) stand out as an obvious bug. It's not a particularly innovative hack though, doing nothing new mechanically. It's the only hack I know of with actual support convos though.

Staff of Ages is unfinished but progressing and pretty solid so far. v2.2 fixed the main problems I had with 2.0's design.

Order of the Crimson Arm started very early and is rough around the edges, and has some really uneven map quality. It's still worth a playthrough though.

>>15793442

Void's Blitzarre Adventure is cute but not that great. TRTR was okay. I don't think a hack needs to be innovative to be fun, in fact TRTR benefits from not adding a bunch of shit to the GBA engine. However, the map design gets pretty boring in the middle.

>>15793442

I like FE girls, its an insane mess though. Its got a lot of weird things(like weapon stealing, unlimited supports and skills) in it and overall is ridiculously difficult.

>>15793442

I'd like to play OCA but

>make your own oc

it's going to take a while.

>>15793485

The fact that they called part 2 the "Celice part" still makes me wonder… the end of his story would be avenging his father then maybe? Alvis being the final boss of part 2 makes sense.

Julius might not have made any major appearances until part 3, maybe the deadlords wouldn't have been totally out of left field instead serving as the main opposition for most of part 3.

It'll probably a mystery forever though.

>>15793534

It was just about reuniting the parents with their children. I like it better how it is now, 1st gen's red wedding would have been cheapened.

>>15793567

It was also described as a part about exploring incest and such if i remember correctly. Its true that the final Genealogy seems better story-wise from the parts known about its earlier story.

However i do wonder who that actually would have included, i have a feeling Sigurd would probably still be dead.

I hope to God that it's not, but it's probably happening given how much the godawful community has latched onto it since Jugdral characters got added to the mobage.

Is there any hope for Three Houses at all? Weapon durability is back and it appears as though there won't be a my unit type character, at least yet.

>>15797606

Three Houses looks like a boring run-of-the-mill jrpg. I hope that ISIS only showed it off because Ninty needed something for E3, because if what we saw was the final product minus last minute fixes, then I don't see it being good at all.

>>15797606

>Three Houses

Why people continue to speculate about unfinished trailers is beyond me. Just wait til the nigger comes out.

>>15797680

I haven't seen anything for the game other than the trailers so I just assumed. It will likely be shit either way given that it's still the same team mostly that worked on the last 3 games iirc.

>>15797711

Echoes was decent, its only real problem was that it was considered by a lot of people too faithful, which while people bitched about was ironically the opposite of what most remakes end up doing.

>>15797744

Because Gaiden was probably the worst game in the series they could have remade. It's easily the worst of Kaga's games and it still got turned into waifushit.

>>15797757

How was it turned into waifushit?

>>15797744

It was a celebration of Gaiden for better or worse, It would actually be very hard to not make a gaiden remake gaiden-like considering most of its problems came from its maps however(could have removed plains giving 10 avoid though).

>>15797757

I actually don't get this, how was echoes waifushit?

>>15797757

>still got turned into waifushit

Having cute girls in a game does not make it waifushit. There was no waifushit in Echoes. Play the game before posting.

>>15797744

Echoes was fine, the only issue I have with it is the poor map design in the lategame. By that point you have at least 3 falcoknights on Celica's route and Genny who is just stupidly powerful against all the Terrors so it's piss easy though.

Oh, and I don't like the turnwheel.

>>15797770

>>15797771

It wasn't anywhere near as egregious as 13 and 14, but characters like Faye just dampen the already mediocre experience.

>>15797787

Faye did nothing wrong. She's a little bland but not the detriment to the game you're making her out to be.

>>15797771

Oh my mistake, it was castle floor and they gave fucking 20 avoid(why).

>>15797782

Its because Gaidens other problem was stuff like 20 avoid tiles being everywhere and a shit ton of enemies with crit, its pretty much duck-taping the problem.

>>15797787

I don't really think Faye was that bad, she barely exists. Conrad was the only absolute shit addition really

>>15797816

She had a decent-looking ass for the one cinematic thing.

I have nothing else positive to say.

>>15797820

pretty much this.

>>15797816

Despite having a retarded design, she is merely a symptom of the cancer that is ruining the series and not the cause.

>>15797816

She's the reason I got into Fire Emblem. Those tits made me buy Conquest. Since then I've played most of the rest of the series, and the only games I really dislike are Awakening and Revelation.

>>15797680

I read that name as "Edgelard".

>>15797867

>buying a censored product for a character that is all fanservice

Did the logic leave your brain when you did that?

>>15797877

Her tits weren't censored.

>>15797888

Every character you could interact with in the fanservice touching mode was censored; her design wasn't, yes, but if you were in it for the fanservice you never got to take advantage of it anyways, unless you were content purely with looking at her portrait or something.

>>15797915

Oh I didn't care about the touching game. Her tits were smaller in that anyways. I actually bought CQ because I liked the sound of "challenging maps with limited resources" versus 13's infinite grind, by the way. Cumilla was just a bonus.

>>15797867

>buy

>not just pirating the undub version with all the cut content

>>15797929

>cinematics out the ass

I only remember 3 in Conquest.

>micromanagement that takes more time than the game itself

Are you talking about battle preparations? That's a huge part of all Fire Emblem games.

>autism

Try not doing that.

>you have to play with a guide if you want the full experience

This one really perplexes me. What could you miss without a guide? Child pairings?

>SLOW

Set game speed to fast, turn off animations.

Your last point needs more clarification.

>>15797939

>Your last point needs more clarification.

The game is easy and very repetitive while punishing you for every mistake you make. It's not fun nor challenging. It's perfect for japanese people as they love repetitive NPC tier games, but I just can't play this.

>>15797953

How is a game both easy and punishing for mistakes? I don't follow. If the game punishes mistakes then it isn't easy. Which game are you referring to specifically?

>>15797961

A game could be easy, but because of it being tedious you could do a retarded action while not paying much attention or giving much of a fuck and then get fucked and have to restart. Going through the motions can easily lead to this, especially if a map is long and a strategy you use is all but proven to get you to a certain point but you start to lose attention, care and focus as a result

>>15797802

>A little bland

She's literally Cordelia, one of the worst characters in the already shit cast in Awakening.

>>15798006

Was there anyone you liked in Awakening?

>>15798006

She is nothing like Cordelia. No survivor's guilt. She just likes Alm, but unlike Cordelia it's to the point of obsession. Please try to understand what you are talking about.

>>15797979

Yeah, Jill has a nice design too. It wouldn't make me buy a game, but I like it.

>>15797981

Fair point. It makes me wonder still which game that anon was playing.

>>15798016

Say'ri, Walhart, and Donnel sort of.

>>15797979

>>15798053

To be fair even in fates Camilla is the only one who actually has such a retarded looking design.

>>15798064

I disagree. A LOT of the characters have retarded designs, but for different reasons. The bigger issue for most of them is that they're overdesigned and their clothes/armor is too busy.

>>15798053

>throwing your money away

I've had a good time with Conquest. I wasn't aware of 3DS piracy at the time, so I figured I'd buy it.

>shanna

Shanna has a decent design. She's one of my favorite units to use, too, but that's neither here nor there.

I see you're mad that I like Camilla's tits, anon, but I'm going to keep liking them. I'm going to fap to them tonight, thinking of your mental anguish.

>>15798106

You shouldn't support censorship and bad localization

Press F to pay respects to our series.
