Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia

[MCerberus]

They're probably going to nerf archer strength growth to compensate or unnerf javelins (in which case we're back to god Generals).
Either that or casters are going to have a bad time.

Was there a Fire Emblem game for the SNES? I'm at work and can't access a lot of gaming info sites. I remember renting something like it, and liking it, but I had a friend over who had no interest in the game and I never really got a chance to play it.

yeah Fire Emblem 3, 4 & 5 were all released for the Super Famicom but they were all Japan only games

I thought they were supposed to be sibling? Eh, whatever.

Trailer was... not that great actually. Work on your marketing Nintendo. I'll probably still pick this up, as long as they don't break it into three different parts like the last one. I love me some fire emblem, but Nintendo sure knows how to price gauge their fans.

I'm too stupid for these games. They are too hard for me. I'd rather do naked Dark Souls runs.

Not that I've ever played it, but how the heck is Dark Souls less difficult than Fire Emblem?

Still, if it is less difficult, maybe I have a chance of getting into Dark Souls and not giving up...

It is the tactics and unit positioning stuff i just dont get. I never got through a tactics game because I ultimately just misjudge or utterly fail missions because I don't see the tactic that the game wants me to execute

It's all about baiting. Force the AI into a position where they have to attack at a disadvantage and then slaughter them verily afterwards.

I still haven't bought Fates because of that. It's cool if they wanted to do a special edition with some knick-knacks, but I don't think they should be cutting up their games.

Echoes looks like a decent-ish return to the classic FE games.

I have all 3 Fire Emblem Fates games on 1 cartridge :3

You sonofa...nah, kidding. It's fine that some people got to enjoy that. I might eventually pick up Conquest just to play the more interesting route.

i haven't actually played FE Fates yet. it's sitting in my backlog of games i want to play but just haven't got around to playing yet. from what i hear though Conquest is meant to be a much better game than Birthright simply because it's actually challenging and also has a better story. it's meant to be more like a traditional "proper" Fire Emblem game than Birthright is.

I just got into this. Like, I just bought Awakening last week. I can't believe I missed this series after playing Shining Force 1&2 on the Genesis over and over and over and over again as a tiny one.
