I just download Geneology of Holy War for the SNES, is it any good and what should I expect out of it?

>Favorite game

Path of Radiance would have to be my choice. Radiant Dawn improved the gameplay but the shifting perspective and consequently schizophrenic unit availability makes me like it less.

Awakening. Aside from a few attractive girl designs there is absolutely nothing of value to be found there.

>Cool FE shit you've found like orchestral remixes or whatever

Ancient stuff and it was incomplete, but way back before I even went to cuckchan, there were threads on GameFAQs Fire Emblem-related boards where a writefag held "tournaments" (popularity contests) where he would write-up fight scenes between random FE characters (from the same game, including some minor characters) including intros and results to match the outcome (in what is usually a fight to the death). Unfortunately, most of these threads were before thread archiving, so unless someone archived it externally almost all of it has probably been lost to time.

>>16922826

A lot of people give it high praise. The maps are very big (too much for me), so I'd recommend only playing one chapter at a time. The animations are probably the best in the series. The story is good, especially by FE standards. The less you hear about it in advance, the better.

Respectable choices all around my man. I have few problems with any of these from the ones I've played thus far. Are your choices factoring in the lords?

A depressing end, those kinds of write-ups and fan theories are always a curiosity to me.

I remember reading one about who would win in a battle between Ephraim and Hector, and a discussion broke out.

And some autist came in and said that Ephraim wouldn't take a battle he couldn't win and would come in with a fucking axereaver and that made me laugh my ass off.

>>16922884

>what makes you say that?

There are a lot of great female designs in FE7. To be honest, I could've almost as easily ended up on Priscilla or Isadora, but most of the art of FE7 I've "appreciated" has involved that game's Pegasus sisters, who all have attractive character designs and great outfits, so I've grown an affinity for them. Between the three, I prefer longhair to short hair, so Farina is out. The competition between Florina and Fiora in terms of character design is pretty fierce, but I opted for Fiora mostly because I find her more mature personality to be more tolerable than Florina's demure/androphobic personality.

>>16922888

>Are your choices factoring in the lords?

Yes, but I have a bit of a conscious bias against them because I consider picking lords to generally be a bit boring. Lyn and Eirika are fine waifu choices (strong contenders, but don't quite win out, imo) and Hector, Ephraim, and Ike are fine bro choices. My choices for FE7 and 10 probably would have skewed the other way absent my anti-lord bias.

>>16922914

>Yes, but I have a bit of a conscious bias against them because I consider picking lords to generally be a bit boring

Very fair point, maybe I'll do that too or at least with a caveat.

>Fiora's personality made her win out

Hm. Unexpected, but understandable enough I suppose.

I myself am put in a bit of an awkward position since at this point I think I have a taste for girls with awful personalities.

Not saying they're my waifus just yet but I have a real fondness for Serra and Farina from that game and I don't think I need to explain the problem with that. It also applies to some rotten girls from other non-FE games as well, I've noticed. Though you're right, FE7 was full of great girls. Very tough competition all around.

As for me, time to begin the autism posting about my own experiences.

>favorite game

FE7, gonna do a writeup on subsequent posts for explaining this

>least favorite game

This one's a bit of a surprise, but FE6. I'll explain in the following post as well.

>waifus

FE6: Lilina by far, but this is a bit awkward to call her my waifu.

More like a niece that I cherish that I need to protect for Hector's sake.

If not her then… I dunno. A lot of FE6 girls sucked ass. Maybe Igrene, or maybe Sue.

FE7: Hard choice, but Lyn for now if including lords. If not… probably a toss-up between Serra and Farina, but Florina is a bit of a wild card.

FE8: Hm. Not a lot of the girls in FE8 made too much impact on me aside from Eirika, L'Arachel and Tana.

Probably Tana because of her looks and she's a princess. Eirika's a bit too soft and into her brother for my tastes. I know they're twins but meh. The whole love hexagon involving those two felt a little… gay, for lack of a better word, for my interests.

>FE13

Cordelia because she's hot and competent.

Severa was a very waifu-able daughter though, more so than even Cordelia if I'm being honest so that was strange.

>FE14

I guess… uh, probably Hinoka? She was the one I waifu'd but meh. I like tomboys, I just wish she had more assets.

Nice enough personality though

>bros

FE6: Gonzales. I like the character type. Ugly giants who get mistreated, but have big hearts. Dieck's cool too.

FE7: Extremely difficult choice since many of the male characters, in my opinions were bros, even some of the enemies I felt wrong for defeating. Hector if we're including lords, otherwise… I dunno. Pent, Hawkeye, Sain, Matthew, Legault, Athos, Wallace, even Jaffar; I mean I can't really choose easily between those. Partially because some of them were so useful in my playthroughs that its hard to separate their usefulness from their in-game personalities and story roles.

FE8: Despite people liking to meme that Ephraim is a bit of a gary stu, he does have a mostly likeable personality, but… I'd probably go with Cormag.

Lloyd and Linus's story was rough to witness in FE7, and it was similar in FE8 with Cormag and Glen so I'm glad I was able to get one of them at least. Innes was okay but a bit of a sperg.

FE13: I guess i liked gregor's personality even though I don't think I ever used him. Similar with Vaike and Virion I guess.

FE14: lol, I got nothing. Just assume a generic answer like a royal or something I guess.

>>16922888

A mishmash of things but mostly the plot, progression, music, artstyle, straightforwardness, non waifufaggotry and milas turnwheel. I didn't even mind the maps, I liked them well enough too.

I even did the postgame and beat the fuck out of grima with ease due to me pirating the overclass DLC.

Awakening and Fates don't come anywhere close to how amazing Echoes was holy shit.

>>16922958

>Awakening and Fates don't come anywhere close to how amazing Echoes was holy shit.

I don't even need to play it yet to know that, but it sounds satisfying enough.

I bought it a while ago but haven't gotten to it yet, time's a bitch to deal with.

Someday I'll get to it

Who knows, maybe I'll even fucking play it right now because I dunno if I can handle Genealogy's huge maps right now, as Binding Bitch tends to fatigue me and I'm in the mood for a different kind of game.

Anyways, to wax on (in my opinion at least) about FE7's brilliance, and the disappointment that FE6 was.

Before anyone asks, I consider FE6 to be (at least in many ways) objectively better than FE13 or FE14 as a game, but the reason I hate FE6 so much is because it disappointed me after I was so excited to play it after FE7. FE13 and 14 I basically had no expectations and basically couldn't be assed to care much about them, period. Its hard to hate something that's beneath your notice and time, but FE6 took all the feelings I had for FE7 and twisted it into an abominable mess.

There are almost too many reasons to love FE7. It was my first FE game, and as a result it was perfect for my beginner ass to TRPGs with Lyn mode, which had a cute little story and was a solid set-up for the rest of the game. The way it handled difficulty was absolutely brilliant in my opinion. The first time through it has a very reasonable difficulty curve with a few spikes to keep you on your toes, but its overall very reasonable for a beginner to handle, but the later modes can be a real bitch. They change up so much with Hector's mode, and Hector Hard Mode, that its brilliant. Not just boosting enemy stats like most FE games tend to do, but changing enemy types (which is huge, a swarm of valkyries with status staves on cog of destiny is a massive fucking difference from the other iterations), starting positions, enemy items, especially enemy volume, new maps, new elements added to existing maps, new and even exclusive characters, additional story not previously seen if you can beat every gaiden chapter on the hardest mode (which is an excellent reward and actually incentivizes pretty much every mode). As a result, it is my most replayed game ever, at… I think I've played it about 8 times now (at least 7) and I still discover new things on every playthrough, like Legault's dialogue with the endgame morph bosses. The overall story was beautiful, strongly told, with a good theme and more to explore if you so chose to. Nearly all the characters range from likeable to loveable (sorry Wil and Erk, you're both bottom-dwelling retard tier though). Eliwood, Hector and Lyn's journey is really something to behold and always touches me by the time I finish, which is surprising since I've played it so many times. There's something beautiful about their friendships, their actions, their sacrifices and suffering, and especially the characters they have to deal with since it isn't just about them of course. So many characters have plot relevance which is quite nice to see.

Nergal is a tragic, brilliantly crafted villain. I can't feel sympathy for him, but I do feel some sort of… pity? Its rough, but strange. They don't go overboard with making him sympathetic as he is clearly a monster, but he's not a mindless one, and he wasn't always one either. There is clearly a struggle going on inside him, and they even use gameplay element to show that.

Plus the map design for FE7 is brilliant when combined with everything. So many side objectives and little things, and really, varied objectives in general make the maps satisfyingly complex without being overbearing, tedious, unfair or unreasonable. In almost every chapter there's more than just the main objective to do, which is nice when the main objective isn't necessarily just "seize".

Plus the animations for FE7, in my opinion are the best in the franchise. Of course, FE6 started this with the bulk of the units so I'll give it a good amount of credit, but I'm mainly referring to the unique ones of FE7 which gives it the edge. The lord's legendary weapon crits, and Lyn's crit are immensely satisfying. Jaffar's silencer ability is also cool as all hell when it procs, and the fact that you get a unique unit in Hawkeye with his sprite, which is far better looking than the fucking vanilla berserker and his shitty godawful animations. But that's a small point at any rate.

Really I like pretty much everything about FE7, there's relatively little I can criticize about it that don't involve mostly small fixes, like support turn counts, maybe an extra tome for magic users that isn't just thunder and fire and elfire, a few changes here and there. Maybe more content, but that's difficult to expect from a game as good as FE7 in my eyes.

Now… to contrast all this with FE6 for my next post.

>>16922958

Echoes was great, but the battle map design was pretty goddamn generic. I really did enjoy the exploring parts though, and I love redheads so having a redheaded female MC was the fucking shit.

>>16923006

Random stat growth per level is shit and I hate it. Characters need fixed stat growth based on their class.

>>16923001

Some FE7 spoilers in the images, fair warning

I forgot to mention, FE7's way of handling the tactician role was brilliant.

Your character isn't some god, or has some involved role. You are someone with a more subtle role, simply helping out people who quickly become your friends and you become attached with. Its vastly different to every other avatar that's appeared thus far. Earning Hector's respect and even friendship was quite something to behold. Eliwood's trust and Lyndis's attachment to you feels amazing.

When Hector asks you to watch over his kid and help them someday when war comes and making you his child's godparent, its really a touching fucking moment

FE6 had no such thing, which already pissed me off. I can't be there for my fucking friends and help them, or their kids.

Its the Roy show all day, and Roy is a bland fucking character.

People say Ephraim is a Gary Stu, but Roy might as well be a far worse one.

All he does is win every fucking battle, ridiculously and absurdly against ridiculous odds but everyone takes it as matter-of-fact. No personality worth a damn,. No real character development. Every female character fawns over this boring faggot.

Fucking chapter 8 basically is evidence of this, where before Roy even starts the map, the fucking narration is like

"Castle Ostia… long said to be impregnable, Ironically, Roy would go on to breach its defenses to protect it"

He fucking wins before the map fucking begins.

What is the goddamn point?

And he's too young, he's literally a boy between the age of 12 and 14. No way is he 15 or older, that's for sure. Eliwood, Hector and Lyn leading a comparatively small group was a million times more believable than this silver-spoon faggot doing anything of note or repute that would make him a worthy army commander.

They fucking made Eliwood sick, and essentially killed Hector, the fucking lad off-screen.

What a fucking, goddamn insult.

Lilina is the most redeeming part of the game in my opinion, but she doesn't have the plot relevance she deserves.

The fucking plot of FE6 might as well be "Roy wins… somehow, often after being retarded"

Dude just traipses around on the western isles, comes back and win every battle, and suddenly the lycian army went from ragtag jokes to "very real threat to Bern".

Its almost semi-redeemed by the true ending, but then gives the worst epilogue I have ever seen in any game in my entire life.

Ranges from

>character does extremely mundane thing like build a house or live at home, to fucking disappearing forever.

It was so insulting that I was fucking pissed after I finished binding blade.

That's not even getting into the gameplay, which suffers badly from certain things.

>long maps

this is just annoying, period. But when its a fucking linear set of hallways where you essentially slog through like a child's placemat at a restaurant, its fucking stupid. And there's a lot of those in FE6, pretty much all the gaiden chapters are like that.

This combines with the next point rather nicely.

>ambush reinforcements

This is fucking cancer.

They are pretty much unpredictable in every way, the enemies are often really strong, and the weapons can have triple effectiveness in this game.

You can be at the end of a long, stupid fucking chapter, and suddenly an archer decides to fucking spawn next to your pegasus knight, or a lancereaver merc by your cavs. Or rutger's chapter, where he shows up, and everyone combined with him does just enough damage to kill off any single character, besides sometimes Marcus.

I've had it happen.

Fucking chapter 11A is fucking stupid, spawning it from 2 different locations.

You can't predict the locations, you can't predict the type or strength of units.

Its either A: learn the reinforcements after a restart (because you likely won't survive) or looking it up (trial and error design)

B: take the map extra cautiously and slowly, which goes against the idea of doing it speedily

due to map size it'd be hard to kill the boss quickly without at least some reinforcements popping up

1/2

>>16923049

>magic is too OP

Lilina and Lugh can shred this game apart with enemies having no resistance, wyvern riders getting one-rounded or sometimes even one-shot by aircalibur

I'm doing hard-mode right now and my (admittedly speed-blessed) Lilina can one-round almost every enemy, including the boss, on pretty much every map.

The only time I face "difficulty" is when cheap ambush reinforcements kills a weaker unit than them when I'm at the end of the map and I feel like I have to restart

The fact that the game itself is low-accuracy in general, and doesn't seem to have true hit is obnoxious as hell. Nothing like losing units to 2-3 20% hits in a row.

Really when I finished Binding Blade, I feel like I wasted my time to get trolled.

There was plenty of potential in binding blade, but it felt like it was all wasted.

No enemy character besides Zephiel (who didn't do much) stuck with me, and maybe Narcian.

There was maybe half a dozen units worth a damn in FE6 in terms of, like, being a character worth caring about, which is pathetically low for such a huge roster.

Binding blade is what happens when you feel like letting the person who wanted to play as the generic soldiers in a game design the characters.

And the fucking support dialogues, so many of them can be so fucking 'awful. Not funny awful, just awful. FE7 had plenty of comic relief supports, or funny support, which is fine.

FE6 just had so many bad supports.

Like, look at Wendy. She looks like a character that might've been worth something to a designer, if her portrait's quality is to go off of. Not like a fucking Barth, or Dorothy, or that mongoloid Bors.

But then you read her supports, and her entire dialogue can be summed up as "Yeah" or "Yes."

I'm not fucking shitting you or exaggerating, look it fucking up. What was the point of giving her a semi-pretty face if she has no value?

FE6 was fucking more disappointing the more I look into it. God-fucking-damn.

Next to no one likeable. Nonexistent plot, anyone who claims "worldbuilding" is shit because there isn't anyone in this goddamn world worth fucking caring about .The leaders are apparently either nonexistent or retarded or doing some cryptic bullshit. Roy is just going around winning without a care in the world or an ounce of personality or anything.

>guess we won all our battles against the invincible bern on land

>oh no now we gotta go free the slaves on the western isles guys!

>now to go back to the mainland and just… win I guess? That sounds good

>and so it ends….

Who the fuck even did anything in this shitty world anyways.

God-fucking-dan what a waste of time.

>>16923028

Eh I think RNG is important to Fire Emblem as it keeps playthroughs and the overall game quite fresh, it should just be handled carefully and reasonably. Its annoying when you get fucked, but its amazing when you get lucky. I think growth rates can be reasonably handled with a few fail-safes to prevent you from getting fucked (In fact I think the games added that where it rolls twice if you would've gotten a "0 stats grown per level" level up, otherwise the game could become too static in my opinion and characters couldn't be used certain ways.

>>16923006

All of these are great ideas, I agree with all of these except for maybe making Roy a passive bonus boy.

If he's a lord, he should be on the field fighting.

>>16923054

Oh, and I'll say one more thing

FE7 tried very hard to make FE6 make sense and not be as shit as it did, or give characters meaning and reasons to care about them and whatnot.

All sorts of shit.

Why should you give a fuck about Hector in FE6 if you play it without FE7? What meaning does he have, or his death? Fucking nothing, but with FE7's context in mind, it matters a fucking lot all of a sudden.

Only problem now is, it didn't matter enough in FE6 to treat it with respect.

If Hector was such a great leader of Lycia, why did Ostia have a rebellion immediately after his death? Being "scared" shouldn't fucking cut it as a sole reason, that's fucking weak. But FE7 gives a strong, reasonable reason for this to be the case in a hector hard mode chapter.

Why would Laus betray the league? FE7 gives a good reason, and makes it actually have meaning for FE6.

Ironically though, FE6 had no meaning for itself. So try as FE7 might, it couldn't fix that FE6 didn't seem to fucking care for all the shit it threw at you.

FE7 also gives a lot to Zephiel as well in terms of backstory. In FE6 he's a cryptic weirdo with only one goal and almost no presence.

The only time ever fucking did anything was chapter 13, essentially. (Which was a good chapter I'll admit).

FE7 just tries so hard to add so much logic and foundation to FE6 that it either didn't have, or took for granted or assumed like it was no big deal when it should've been a much bigger deal.

Honestly, as a result FE7 suffers a bit from being connected to the meaningless shitpile that is FE6.

It tried so hard to make a bad game good.

I can tell you pretty much everything Eliwood, Lyn and Hector as well as a bunch of characters from FE7 did. I couldn't tell you if Roy did fucking anything at all, ever besides win with every challenge he was faced against "somehow" (that's where you come in apparently). Where is the struggle, where is the interesting actions taken? You could maybe argue at the beginning he was playing a little catch-up with Bern but conveniently the princess falls into his lap and he happens to win every fight too, and just when he might face someone too dangerous for him, he gets saved once, only to go do more retarded things but still win every time and do his cute little stupid spin-off shenanigans in the western isles.

God I hate FE6.

>least favorite game

Well i've actually had the experience of playing fates rev so i think thats self explanatory.

Non-DLCsince rev could be considered that wise awakening, not particularly shocking but in terms of any value it had it still was pretty bad.

Like the 3DS era outside of Echoes was pretty much all sandbox in a way, but fates does manage to improve in a lot of places.i'll take a story bad from the start for better sandbox

>I feel like dropping it in favor of FE4, which I tried the first level on, but holy fuck the first map is fucking huge.

4 is a very odd, its very daunting looking but most maps do have the enemy density; its not giant dead periods but instead just a huge sense of scale.people like to say the former is an issue though

Still kinda weird to keep track of but FE4 was never meant to be average FE. Which is super bemusing to see being commonly brought up in regards to it.

What the hell would be the point of neutering these unique FEs to make them just another game. I don't think i'd like another sacred stones, gaiden feels like a much more worthwhile thing.

Probably should make arenas more than just "do it when you can" though i suppose. Also it'd be nice to explore the castle since that was the intention.and to have siege maps for enemy ones

Like you can improve FE4 drastically without neutering it.

>>16923001

While i do have multiple issues with FE7, its certainly not game ruiningthough lyn mode sucks to play if you already understand how to play

Also Eliwood and Hector sure as shit did not need to be separate routes. They really don't change enough, its like TH with its church CF and Blue lion routes.

mind you in THs case, it would have made more sense to just cannibalize GD for church, GD as a route barely fits with the rest

>>16923126

The point of roy is that he's mediocre at fighting anyway, he's only ever good when he has the sword. In story he's not meant to be an amazing fighter and his stats reflect it.

Thats just how roy is. GBA sword lords are all kinda bad, but roy has nothing going for him besides a personal he gets insanely late.

Obviously post personal he practically murders every thing in his path.

>>16923126

There's already a bunch of lords that are top tier combat units in their own right. Making Roy a master swordsman is the easy, boring, way to make him useful.

>Awakening

Meh at best but the second generation of characters was great in their short stories. Udo / Owain and Cynthia were fucking great.

Better framerate on switch, but really it's just a themed Dynasty Warriors. You're really not going to get much out of it if you're not a fan of the Awakening/if shit(IIRC, they only added Lyn because of a poll on their mobile game where she won 1st place). Really the best part about it is it kept that Nami Komoru away from Echoes, making it a much better game as a result.

>Fire Emblem warriors

Vid related sums up my thoughts on that disappointment

Fire Emblem is a shit franchise for faggots who should be lynched

>>16923959

Are you implying there are faggots who shouldn't be lynched?

>>16923713

TH is a bit odd, i'd say its what you'd expect coming off of the FE3 remake and echoes; a decent story strangled by avatar dick sucking and a over abundance of worthless elements.seriously, while its overshadowed the flood of "missing characters" in the remake was a terrible decision

Fates seems to have been a case of pulling on random elements and then pulling on other elements to see what worked better. Echoes is moreso its relative gameplay wise, even the modified Fates type skill system doesn't seem that far off from Echoes.

TH is softer because while some elements of fates were accepted, it was polarizing enough that they figured out what they could cut. Though i say that with how the FE3 remake nearly killed the series yet its main gimmick carried over so eh.

Don't count on IS being intelligent, they'll probably shit the bed again sooner or later.at least echoes shows they won't mutilate unique games like gaiden for remakes; so those probably have a low chance of bedshit

>>16923732

>Meh at best

It starts off this way but ends up on par with fates really, well birthrights highpoints at least. It ends on par with average birthright, which is to say horrible in every way.

Game kinda just crashes and burns during its third arc. Walhart/Gangrel function okay as villains.

>If / Fate

While this is mostly the case, i must state that conquest is actually decent from a gameplay perspective; its the only real version of fates where "just turn off the voices and skip cutscenes" actually gives you a decent game.

Because fates has a fetish for gimmick hell maps probably as a result of trying to alleviate awakenings flaw of 9000 hallway maps. IF is very much a sequel to Awakening and thats probably what totally kills it.

It tries to fix a lot of flaws from it in strange ways instead of just regaining systems that older titles had that fixed those problems.

I have to wonder if there were any drafts of the story where they didn't make the horrible choice of making the "main choice" super lopsided, also what was the third choice before it was a DLC?

They can't have really intended a golden route in the base game right? I suppose if there were more choices it might make more sense but hm.

Hey niggers, I mirrored the thread on fatchan with all the recent cancer that's been going down recently.

If you wanna come post there, here's the link.
