"Why I can't grind any longer?"
"Where is the overworld map?"
"Why the enemies so strong?"
Not sure about the last part though, but expect the first two to constantly popped up.

I don't want to come off as some console elitist, but looking at the CG cutscenes and then seeing the actual gaming graphics makes me lament that this isnt on Wii U and that a fire emblem isn't on wii U.
I want it, but Nintendo wouldn't let me.

not yet. just assumption based on the statement from official site
Perhaps there will be overworld map, but no random enemies appearing this time.
Um, PoR/RD were quite ugly games for the systems they were on. Intelligent Systems isn't known for pushing the limits of the hardware.
Well, it's only for the iron/ beginner dragonstone so far. We'll see if this changes for Killer/Brave weapons.
In addition, putting enough time and resources into making a RPG with an extensive cast at that level of visual fidelity (which, again, IS have little experience with; probably necessitating collaboration with an external developer) would be an unreasonable prospect when you consider the sales potential of a console FE - especially on the Wii U.
If it's just for iron weapons, then it's gonna work in my favor lol. I play hella conservative when it comes to weapon usage. Iron weapons till end of time

Did they get rid of bronze because that's should be the only class to be infinite if any. I guess it will serve as a fail-safe or something?
Yeah, that's why I have feeling that the only version the West will get as a retail copy is the White version. We'll probably get the Black version as DLC/digital only.
So like Bayonetta 2. 1 & 2 came in one box physical in North America, but you could buy them both separately cheaper on the eshop.

I highly doubt this, that would be even worse than just releasing two versions
In the other threads people were saying that the NA direct implied that we were only getting one retail copy. Maybe I'm just a pessimist, but there's no way I see Nintendo giving both games in a single retail game cart for $40-$50.
Unless they plan on selling it as $60-$80 than they'd be killing off the series in the west.
Do it, relive those glorious hit rates!

A couple years ago I had did Fire Emblem draft runs, which are basically low turn count races with special rules. It was pretty casual but it definitely taught me to be a better Fire Emblem player, and one of the ways it helped me the most was by getting me you be less conservative with my stronger and specialty weapons. Knowing when to break out the silver or Killer weapons, even in key scrubs, can make you WAY more effective.
Sword of Seals has True Hit, so it can't be THAT bad

I dunno why some are thinking that we'll get anything less than the equivalent of the Japanese eShop release.
The only question is if there's any chance we get an equivalent to the special edition, but Bill clearly said we are going to have to make choices. In the separate Japanese releases, there are no choices you're locked to that path (I believe).

Weapons in FE6 tend to have lower hit rates than later games. Axe users have it really bad since they don't have the skill to work around it.Sword of Seals has True Hit, so it can't be THAT bad
But yeah, I don't think it's that bad. It could certainly have been balanced a little better, but I actually kind of like it, I rarely have to consider my hit rate in later FE games.
I'd imagine those choices found in the eShop version will be unlocked once we buy the other story DLC in the Japanese version. I'm interested in seeing how NoA handles it.

Do it. Its my favorite fire emblem game!
It's been so long I'm not sure what you mean exactly, do they not average two values for the hit rate in that one?
theprodigy
Member
hit rates are lower in general in FE6, it's why axe users in particular are so terrible
this also means that
Barrylocke

I forgot hitrates were that low in FE6. It really has been awhile since I played it. Never did beat it either. The Nomads are the best archers in FE6 and the Pegasus Knights are unimpressive but that also means I had to go to Sacae instead of Illia. Yuck...

Agreed.
I got it on play-asia at like 3AM et last night(sold out now). I wanted to order from amiami, but they must've updated at like 5 AM et or something ridiculous. (I was checking Amiami, as I mostly wanted to order it from there.)
Apparently Nintendo tweeted that they'd give out more stock allocations for the LE, so keep an eye out.
Yea, the way to beat chapters in low number of turns is to be less conservative with strong weapon usage. But i'm not the kind of person who enjoys "speedrunning" RPGs in general and I'm such a cheapass when it comes to spending money in these games lol.
I have had myridons who still had their killing edges from the chapters they were recruited in by endgame lol

Oh cool, didn't know there was a FE community thread.
I've only played Awakening but, I'm trying to play older ones now before 'if' comes out.
Playing FE7 at the moment.. when does the tutorial end..?
Ah wow, guess I've still got quite a bit to go then.

Chapter 10 is the last tutorial chapter.
You can switch off the tutorial messages, but forced tactics are kinda lame. Just like the forced promotion.
Although it's a pretty neat way to learn the game, for more advanced players it's kinda annoying. FE9 was definitely better with this. Optional tutorial screens.
I'm playing it on the Wii U now. Rushing through is much harder, but still after 2 hours I reached chapter 7 without skipping story. It's not that bad. The real part starts after Lyn's story.

Your question's already been answered, but I'd like to say that I hope you will enjoy the rest of the series. I really love the older games, especially the Super Famicom ones.

Radiance, it's the better game and will make Dawn make a lot more sense when you get to it
I've played through Awakening. First FE game but apparently it has very little to nadda to do with anything ever.

Fire Emblem 7 still reigns supreme as the best first Fire Emblem to try if you want to get introduced to the series as a whole.The only "negative" for being a first FE I can think of is that the plot is a little unconventional (since your main enemy threat isn't an evil empire)
theprodigy

That "negative" is one of the few things FE7 has over the rest of the series (and even then it goes to
HURR DRAGONS like nearly every other game....why
