Losing a member in fire emblem must be up there with one of the best reactions gamers could have, its like your heart sinks and you get total shock on your face, especially if they get 1HKO.

hmm...does the waiting time when skipping enemy phase in Awakening decrease on a new 3DS?

I feel like I should do something Fire Emblem related for the 25th anniversery. If not now, maybe after I finish with Megami Tensei 1. Maybe I'll try to redo my Iron Man Run of Fire Emblem 1, or do it for Fire Emblem 3 Book 1. MAYBE FE11 but I'd have to obtain
a copy of that.
Fire Emblem 1 Iron Man was fun but the inventory system in that game...god, shoot me. 4 items and no trading, only giving. And you can only give 1 item at a time. The reason my iron man ended was because Navarre died with the Mercurius Sword (which btw only Marth can use in FE1)
EDIT: Just to be sure, how far up can you reasonably go in the difficulty settings before reclassing units in FE11 and 12 becomes pretty much required instead of "a fun new feature?"
or "obtain"

How do you plan to tackle Camus? I'm gonna be honest, he and his always terrified me whenever I go for The War of Shadows story line with FE1 or 3. Not only did he scare me out of finishing my Iron Man run, but he also made me take forever to finish my 1st complete play-through of FE3 Book 1. His Black Knight army is also pretty awful with their Silver Swords and Lances. Let's not forget that in FE1 there's no real weapon triangle, and Silver Swords beat Silver Lances in pretty much every single way. It's a major slog.
LOL At the Lucina waifu thread getting locked. Can't say I'm surprised...or annoyed

The Camus and Michalis maps are definitely the two I'm looking forward to the least... Currently the playmakers of my team are Cain and Abel (and Xane, I guess), but by the time I reach the former map, Merric and Palla (or Caeda) could definitely contribute a lot thanks to promotion items that'll be used by then. There also happens to be an armory that sells Ridersbanes on the map, which will probably help a lot if I happen to run out of any on hand. Marth himself could easily sweep many of the enemies on his own, but I know he can't solo it all and he capped his level several chapters ago; I'd rather have that experience actually go somewhere. I'm not too bummed over losing Mercurius.
And yeah, I hadn't noticed that thread until you mentioned it. That was something.
Rebecca is so good. I've been using her through Hector Mode and I believe she's my highest leveled character (I'm in Cog of Destiny). There are so many ballistas in Hector Mode haha and since she's so fast she can even do 2x with ballista.
I promoted Priscilla a bit earlier too and she's a killing machine with magic. Serra's nice with light magic too but Priscilla has been wrecking everything, totally outclassed Erk.
Also, the Lucius x Serra support is godly, although I'm going for Sain x Serra, which is also hilarious.
By the way, GameXplain's Derrick is doing some sort of let's play through FE7 and it's hilarious, exciting and infuriating. I recommend it if you can be patient with someone who's clearly very new at the game.

It was like I stepped into GameFAQs.

Yeah, seriously, we all know Severa and Tharja are much better anyways!
I finished a couple of minutes ago. Some characters got bad RNG like Matthew, Priscilla and Lyn. Rebecca, Canas, Lowen, Oswin,Hector and Florina were wrecking. Eliwood was okay, I had to pour stat bonus items on him. Normal is way too easy overall, but I enjoyed going through the whole game again.

Somebody makes posts like that every so often in AnimeGAF, with like crazy ass shrines to the characters, but this is the first time I've ever seen a thread for it.

Might check out how bad derrick is doing then.
I have flashbacks of Etika playing Awakening and losing both
Sumia and Cordelia right away as soon as he got them
Derrick is definitely entertaining and frustrating to watch at the same time.
Anyways, I've played through every FE game, but never dabbled with the community or met other people who were into anything besides awakening...so what's an Iron Man run? Just soloing the game with one character?

I don't think the community at large calls it Ironman, but I borrowed the name from Xcom. It's basically a no reset run. Dead people stay dead. Hence why I said your victories and defeats mean more to you. I personally think all fans of the series should try it at least once with a game.

no, that's called a speedrun
TAS 20 move Leif for MVP
I think most of the community does call it an ironman or something like that now
No reset and blind for max suffering. I couldn't do it in FE7. I couldn't stand losing Serra in the Erik chapter (didn't expect him to attack me), but I later accepted Marcus and Heath dying (I savescummed in another chapter though haha).

Thanks for the info, I guess I've done this before. I'm trying to play all the games starting from the original 3 ways before moving onto the next.
The standard reset if somebody dies run, continue on if somebody dies, and if somebody dies count it as a game over and start the game from the beginning.

Oh hey, a Fire Emblem community. I guess I'll post in here every now and then.
I've been watching Derrick's stream the last few Sundays and I have to say, it's really interesting seeing how a FE newbie tackles the game. It's been full of unexpected (Uhai will move if damaged!) and facepalm worthy moments (How does one lose Dart after TWO turns...) It's definitely been entertaining lol.

I feel like Derrick is a waifu kinda guy with how he gushes over Lyn.
Lyn's tops man. What's not to like 'bout the super awesome tribal Warrior Princess Samurai ?
She even has a jiggle animation with her normal Sol Katti attack!
God bless them.

So another idea I had was to do an Iron Man run of Book 1 and 2 of FE3 together. So for instance if Gordon dies in Book 1, I can't use him in Book 2 because of course he didn't survive through the war.
I'd probably still count an Aum Staff usage as a survival since its purpose is to revive the dead, so I could use it to give a 2nd chance to a fallen warrior for Book 2.

Well she's not 15 anymore ... I guess .. I'm just happy that it wasn't in the Japanese release.
+1.
This fetishization has always been there since I joined the fandom, from Ayra in FE4, Lyn in FE7, Mia/Neph in 9/10 (though not nearly as bad as the others) and now Lucina/Tharja.
never heard of this, is there a place that lists changes that occured during localizations for all the FE games?
Aveyn Knight

I love how Nintendo isn't afraid to fiddle with the games during localisation.
I think my favourite change was adding 5-ish battle maps for Shadow Dragon's multiplayer mode. If you thought the multiplayer wasn't that great, you should feel bad for the Japanese fans who only got the one tiny battle map.
But at least they got all the other maps in the sequel, which we never got D:

What are you going on about? I don't remember saying the waifu thing was bad, it's only Lucina that is garbage.
Removing FE9 maniac mode was enough to make me hope they never think of changing up the gameplay in any way during localization again.
I did not know that about Shadow Dragon though, that's pretty cool.
For FE Awakening the Japanese version offered a mute option for the Avatar, which completely altered the script for the game to accommodate the silent protagonist. But for the localized release they just got rid of that; probably to cut the work, heh. I've been wondering if that will happen again for FE if.

Awakening lost the silent protagonist voice option and compatibility of spotpass characters with the streetpass teams due to localization changes. They also removed one voice for each gender.

hmm....what's the experience formula in Radiant Dawn? Serenes doesn't have that one
Aveyn Knight

Yeah, that sucked. Worse was when they cut the extended script from Radiant Dawn, probably to save time as well.
Unlike Awakening's mute option, which was cute, the extended script helped to flesh out some characters and explain some bits of the story.
Radiant Dawn medium-major spoilers:
The prison interrogation scene at the end of Part 2 Endgame was roughly twice as long in the extended version and really explained how the Crimean rebellion occurred.
Also, it was heavily implied that Yune was the one who blessed the Black Knight's (and presumably Ashnard's) black armour--something many fans can't seem to find a valid explanation for.

On the plus side, the localised version did add numerous scenes for the Dawn Brigade, who sorely needed development time.
Thanks, I'll see what they have for 3DS. I don't have a Wii U yet or else I would grab the Wii U games...unless there's a way for me to get them added to my account regardless
I really like the Jagen :0
Ike looks more like Roy there.
Speaking of which, this artist also did a coloured version of Kozaki's Ike sketch.
The proportions actually look a lot closer to his child sprite rather than the PoR or RD designs...
Maybe it's intended to gradually ease us into the SD style that'll be used for the remake.
