Serenesforest.net is like the central hub for Fire Emblem stuff.
In fact that site should probably be in the OP.
Haha, good timing as I wanted to check in with this thread specifically to provide an update about that.
I never did get around to finishing updating the OP like I wanted to! I remember spending a night working on it about a week ago but I actually lost my progress and got too bummed from that to get back to it right away. The holiday season and other unrelated matters got me a little too occupied to finish by now, but now that things are more cleared up for I could try to finally get some things done this weekend.
In any case, yeah, Serenesforest.net is pretty much the site. The webmaster actually posts around here on occasion, even.

lol, even grinding with Donnel is more efficient than that
as for Radiant Dawn, character balance between different groups is horrendous (why is the DB so weak)

No leadership stars vs. bunch of leadership stars
I never actually got those. What do they even DO? I mean, I assume more stars is better, but were they ever explained in the game?
theprodigy
Member
no, I wish the only difference was Ike's 3 leadership stars (speaking of that, wtf is up with Micaiah having ZERO leadership stars???)
+5 hit/avoid per star, I think only stars from the "leader" count though (which is lame)
summary of "commanders" throughout the game:
Micaiah (0 stars) throughout all of part 1, 3-6, 3-12, 3-13, 4-P, and 4-3
Elincia (3 stars) in 2-P and 2-E
Nephenee (0 stars, also lolwut) in 2-1
Lucia (2 stars) in 2-2
Geoffrey (3 stars) in 2-3 and 3-9
Ike (3 stars) in 3-P to 3-5, 3-7, 3-8, 3-10, 3-11, 3-E, 4-1, 4-4, and Endgame
Tibarn (4 stars) in 4-2 and 4-5

You need Fred for those early levels. I guess if you're up to Chapter 3, you got past that nasty Hammer bro, at least.
I'm getting beat on the 2nd level of Radiant Dawn, first time I was taken by surprise so I got serious, then the second time nobody died, except I had the silver haired character be rescued like 2 turns before with 1 hp, and GAME OVER just popped randomly. Pretty sure the host didn't get hit either, is there an explanation?
What came in the mail?

That's part of what makes RD (and other FE) great though; your objective isn't always killkillkill like in Awakening.

RD is a bit inconsistent, but overall it's great. They tried a lot of new stuff, some of which pays off really well and some of which doesn't.
It can also be pretty darn difficult in parts. I remember the first few levels taking me by surprise as well.
theprodigy
Member
yeah anybody dies=game over in the first 4 chapters of RD
you mean New Mystery of the Emblem?
FE3 is ancient bro
Awakening and Pokemon
No, I mean the one for SNES. Shadow Dragon is a decent remake but ruined for me by its battle graphics. I played most of both and Blazing Sword last summer.

Don't think so. Once they are unlocked, they are unlocked forever.

The support system is totally mystifying me in FE7. I've been grouping my characters adjacent to one another but I've yet to get one support rank for anybody. I'm at Chapter 13 fyi.
How much are you willing to pay to play a game?
Fire Emblem (7) for GBA is probably the cheapest one you'll find used. You can't really go wrong with any of the entries although people don't like Shadow Dragon too much. The problem is how expensive the older games can be. :/

Characters gain points by being next to each other. You need to gain a certain amount of points to reach the next support rank. Each pair gains points at different speeds, start with different initial amounts of points together.
For example, Eliwood and Hector have a high number of starting points and gain at a pretty fast speed so it would only take a few turns of them together to reach level C.
Generally, people who already know each other, have a good base points and would gain support points slightly faster.
Was New Mystery much different from FE3 Book 2? Seems like they placed a pretty big emphasis on the My Unit that didn't exist in the original.

I've beaten the game once with some deaths. I've restarted in casual mode and put it on hard. Anything I should be doing to make a second play through better? I just can't see how people have put so much time into this game.
A lot of the supports in FE7 were a nightmare to get. Just endless rounds of questionably-compatible chumps shuffling awkwardly in adjacent squares getting to know one another for them juicy stat boosts.
'S why Pent's the best mage and Louise is the best sniper. Join already married. Instant A support, no drawn-out courtship. Get on their level, everybody else.

Playing on lunatic, min/maxing the child units, grinding a lot for fun or support convos, dlc? All possible
Oh, I now realize I was confused. I thought New Mystery = Shadow Dragon. I have not played New Mystery at all.

My Unit is just an OP unit that doesn't do much in the story, unlike its Awakening counterpart
and by the way, you guys should try FE12, it's so much better than Shadow Dragon

This reminds me, my copy's battery is busted. The game periodically wipes itself

Sounds like a bootleg.

Yup, my copy of FE7 ended up being bootleg as well, it looks genuine enough but there's a few small details/text missing in the interior of the cart itself to give it away aside from the whole data wiping and possible freezing, fortunately I was at least able to finish it before it first wiped out.
It's a shame that there's so many fake GBA games out there.

Path of Radiance is the best.

My vote also goes to Path of Radiance (although I haven't played any pre-7).
Thanks

I'm currently blowing through Awakening, my first FE game. I'm loving it and I decided to look into the Wii game to play next. Then I saw the price it's going for. Now I have a sad.
Also with regard to S Support Rank/marriage:

Donnel and Lissa have married, mated, and created a child. This after Lissa called herself Donnel's "big sister" in every conversation prior to his proposal. Weird!

I'll make you even more sad by saying that you really should play the GCN game before the Wii game, and have you check out the price tag on that.
Path of Radiance is totally worth it tho.

Another thing, why do priests go from healing staves to axes?
Why not a bo staff? Warrior monk style.

After about a week and a half of playing Fire Emblem: Awakening, I finally beat the game. Man, this game made me remember how much I love this series. Probably my favorite next to the original GBA game. That final level when the music kicks in...

Got Awakening for Christmas but only up to Chapter 4 right now because other games taking up time I know should be going to this. That said, I'm liking it so far but man, I miss sprites.
He's way cooler though
I love the man crush him and Marth share
