Echoes is a remake of Fire Emblem Gaiden on the NES, the second FE game. Even 8-4 couldn't ruin it

I might recommend trying out Fire Emblem Shadow Dragon on the DS (remake of the first game on the NES) as well as its sequel New Mystery of the Emblem (a remake of the SNES sequel to the first game). You'll need a translation patch for the latter

the GBA trilogy is pretty good too: The Sealing Sword (translation patch), The Burning Blade (localized merely as Fire Emblem, as it was the first to come to the international market), and The Sacred Stones

I have a 3DS but no DS so i will have to emulate it but thanks for the advice,i fucking love getting into series that have been going for 20+ years and see how they evolve over time

>3DS but no DS

Have you hacked it properly? If so, I've got great news for you:

A reminder from the previous thread that RHDN has a page for Thracia 776's "translation" patch by Project Exile if people want to shit on it in review for how rewritten it is compared to the game's actual Japanese script (and even previous translation attempt), as was found from the translation notes.

>>16634803

Yeah it's hacked i'll take a look when i get home

>>16634862

Heard thracia was the hardest one

>>16635168

I'm not a neet you autistic fuck

Nothing will ever top the lore and world building of Path of radiance and radiant dawn even the older games lack it.

Echoes was nice. They mostly copied the maps of gaiden and it was great. The maps usually gets called uninspired but I never minded it. Chokepoints give great advantage at holding a lot of shit off. There's a lot of sieging to do and forts actually give the enemy lots of positional advantage.

The map design is less video gamey compared to the other games which I appreciate.

I'd recommend Genealogy since I liked the maps there too and it felt like an actual epic.

>The maps usually gets called uninspired but I never minded it.

All the maps past 6 have been literal casualized garbage, that sounds retarded.

>>16636119

>>16636101

I found that the uninspired maps are mostly random non story encounters

>>16636101

The only problem I've got with Echoes map design is how often it recycles one map in particular: That open plain with two small forts to the north and a horizontal river bisecting the center.

Oh, and Bow Fort, but that's because deserts fucking suck.

Came in here to say something along these lines. The Tellius games also have some of the best character and costume design in the series, one of the best plots, the best support system, and some of the most varied map objectives.

>>16636101

The issue with Gaiden maps is that huge empty spaces exist in nearly every one.

a common issue in FE ironically, 1/3, 4, 6 have this issue as well.

It also loves stalling terrain in a bit more than other games, something i don't think i've heard praise for ever.

The other thing that people tend to hate is the AI and the eternal 80 hit usually.why does tile give avoid?

Genealogy's maps are definitely to its up and downside, its great the first few times but its maps also hurt to replay mostly.

>>16637018

I'm reminded that the original gaiden had like two dungeon maps?

Gaiden always felt a bit too high aiming for its own good and thus has some shortcuts that don't end too well.

its also still got some FE1 design choices that are absolute shit.

Fuck i have a new fetish now

>>16637447

enjoy getting blueballed at endgame by having Karel demote if he's promoted after getting Apocalypse (when Roy promotes), and having to promote him again

if you like glitches sure

just get a flashcart

My favorite Fire Emblem game is Smash Ultimate. Great Game.

Are you going to buy Three Houses? Why? Or why not?

>>16638754

No. Treehouse.

>>16638754

I'm not going to because I don't have a Switch and I won't intend to until I am through with grad school.

>>16638992

Unimpressed?

>>16638754

I probably will get it since the game looks interesting and gameplay looks different from the last few games. Although I don't plan on getting it on release>>16638754

>that picture

Normally, I'd think that'd be a sarcastic remark, but considering the things in his room, holy shit. How can one lack so much self-awareness?

>>16639989

I always thought that it was a captation on a video of a nu male until i saw the source

>>16640005

Is that not his room?

>>16640013

It's a set made to look like that on purpose for the use of making fun of the people who would unironically say the thing he said.

>>16640045

Wouldn't know, I've never seen the guy or those videos.

>>16638754

The character designs are really difficult to stomach especially with the sheer amount of same face they all have. I mean, I adore Kazuma Kaneko's art and designs, but he had a talent to make his characters stand out despite having the same faces. In all, I havent been impressed with FE for awhile. I'm just going to wait until it hits a sale.

>>16640054

That's very apparent.

>caring about shoujo emblem

Edelgard is cute at least.

I don't know what crack you're smoking, but the story was gay and the translation was just as retarded in Echoes.

>>16640455

Rude

>>16640455

This. Echoes was dogshit just like Every other FE from New Mystery onward. The art is the only decent thing the game has.

gba games are the best, then I'd say echoes
