I actually forgot that super saiyan bardock thing existed

 

[Line_HTX]

I got my 1000 year old dragons confused in that #FE thread.

Which is a good thing.

Is Corrin a lewd dragon with smooth scales?

 

[ShinRPGamer]

Maybe if he was easier to recruit!

He makes up for it by being the most OP character in Radiant Dawn.

 

[Hellwarden]

I'm a big fan of the Fire Emblem games.

And while Awakening was perhaps a misstep in some regards...

Vaike is the best.

 

[MetroidPrimeRib]

Confession time - I bought that $140 1/7 Tharja scale figure and I apologize for nothing

 

[Seda]

We have a number of Fire Emblems fans in this thread, we seem to go off topic towards that direction somewhat regularly, haha.

Awakening was a big disappointment for me, but still a pretty good game. Still looking forward to Fates.

 

[Man God]

He makes up for it by being the most OP character in Radiant Dawn.

He's definitely the best unit in an entire army, namely the Part II royal guard missions.

 

[Jarate]

Fire Emblem is awesome but I don't like to talk about it on this forum

I've defended it far too many times

 

[Hellwarden]

Buying a Tharja figure? Shameful.

If it was a Panne figure...

...that would be acceptable.

 

[Seda]

figures r dum

 

[Jarate]

figures r dum

I agree

I still want some

Should have saved that money for the Cordelia figure. Cordelia is not a shitty character.

Spoiler

Adult Tiki figurine pls be a thing.

You can talk about it here, this is a safe place.

Unless you prefer Wil to Rebecca, then you can just show yourself out.

 

[MetroidPrimeRib]

I want Fates, I just wish the Special Edition with all 3 games in it had more then 50 copies made, especially since the game is around 8 months late from the JP release. NoA's incompetence is really starting to grate on me.

The game comes out two days after Street Fighter V, and that's an easy decision to make for which series I like better.

 

[Man God]

I just wish it had a digital special edition. Not that at the rate I play games I'm really going to beat both of the paths before getting to the final one but to have it all in one place with some goodies.

 

[Mizerman]

Heh. I never really got into Fire Emblem, though I can appreciate the fact that it's still running wild.

 

[MetroidPrimeRib]

Well, it is now. It was staggering in the GCN/Wii/DS era.

 

[Doctor Decimate]

amiibos were a good way to own figures of things without actually spending a ton of money on figures

 

[Hellwarden]

Nintendo realized what they needed to do to save Fire Emblem.

They just needed to infuse more anime into it!

Also Fire Emblem is weird in that NRG can drastically alter how you play the game in contrast to the story.

Now looking at the box, one would think that Eliwood (derp.) would be the real hero in the game, but in my game, in the actual gameplay, he really took a backseat to Hector.

Because Hector was the only one who could tank the final boss.

 

[MetroidPrimeRib]

They are also poorly made and really small!

Now looking at the box, one would think that Roy would be the real hero in the game, but in my game, in the actual gameplay, he really took a backseat to Hector.

That's Eliwood

 

[Jarate]

Hector was broken though

But I was lucky enough to get a special edition preorder at GameStop, although I'm moving soon so idk what I'm going to do about that

 

[Seda]

True.

Speed > Strength basically always.

Aside: Not only Fire Emblem, but lately I don't really participate on the main page too much anymore on the forum. NeoGAF has grown too large and most threads and OTs simply move too fast for me, too many people. I feel like I'm talking into the ether and I'd rather have more focused conversation with a smaller group. I tend to stick to community threads or simply talk with people I know offsite.

I want Fates, I just wish the Special Edition with all 3 games in it had more then 50 copies made, especially since the game is around 8 months late from the JP release. NoA's incompetence is really starting to grate on me.

I don't usually buy special editions (because I don't care about artbooks or figures or whatnot) but I decided to get that because having both games in 1 was worth it.

 

[Jarate]

Special Edition will also be super expensive in the future if it has both games on that cart

 

[Man God]

I miss my Hector Avatar.

I only post on the main page for a couple of reasons, though I do read it often.

The reasons are in no particular order:

Pretending I have no idea what Fire Emblem is, bonus points if its PoR or RD.
Convince someone to not play VLR without playing 999 first
Talking about how great FF V is.
Anytime I can help someone with a deal I know about.
Lists of Megaman game superiorty.
Stuff about older Harvest Moon/Rune Factory games.
Pokémon.

I was at the Nintendo World Store the other day since I won't be back in the city before the renovation. The Mario exhibit was pretty cool. I also bought my first Amiibo - Shovel Knight <3

Akame ga Kill:
How to tell you've got a bad series? Introduce a new group of characters that are established to be a major threat, then kill off most of them in a single episode, two of them killed by one of the lamest members of Night Raid. Seriously, there's jobbing and there's not respecting your audience.

Let's be fair, those were legit fights. Lubba earned those wins with some actual strategy not not "Trump Card" nonsense. I like fights like those - they can be rare in shonen anime.

Sacrifices I'm willing to make!

 

[MetroidPrimeRib]

I don't usually buy special editions (because I don't care about artbooks or figures or whatnot) but I decided to get that because having both games in 1 was worth it.

I'm starting to lean to community threads more often as well.

I don't care about special editions, but Fates' type are usually the ones I pick up, like when I bought Marvel vs Capcom 3's special edition because it was only $10 more and came with Jill and Shuma-gorath, or Skyward Swords's $80 edition because it came with a Wii Remote plus, which is a ridiculously good deal.

I tend to replay FE games a ton, so the SE seemed perfect, but I'm pretty upset that Nintendo would pull the split version card and then make an extremely small run of the version with all versions in it. But that's a very Nintendo like thing to do.

 

[BatDan]

I pre-ordered the Fates Special Edition. I usually don't get SE's but having all three games in one is an amazing deal.

 

[Hellwarden]

That's Eliwood

Oh right.

I think I forgot because Lyn should have just been the main character.

Lyn is the best.

 

[Jarate]

Also everyone is saying Fates is awesome! Or at least the hard mode side

I'm doing the easy mode side first, then hard mode

 

[Mizerman]

Well, it is now. It was staggering in the GCN/Wii/DS era.

Yeah, I've heard that Awakening was gonna be the last one in franchise if it didn't do to well.

 

[MetroidPrimeRib]

Yeah, I've heard that Awakening was gonna be the last one in franchise if it didn't do to well.

I don't really believe that. Awakening for sure re-invigorated the franchise but I don't think they would have just shelved it forever, in a very Nintendo-like manner. This is the company that made a Kid Icarus game 20 years after the first and a Punch Out game 15 years after the last one.

 

[ShinRPGamer]

Maybe back when they started but that isn't the case anymore. Quality has improved considerably since wave 3.

Oh right.

No joke, I would trade Lyn for Roy in Smash Bros, any day.

 

[Seda]

Oh right.

Lyn is great. I save the Body Rings for her.

I also did this earlier in the year because I'm crazy.

 

[Jarate]

All I know is that there will never be another console Fire Emblem and that makes me sad

With all the rumors about the NX being a handheld/console hybrid, you will get one anyway! I also can't really blame them, PoR/RD did pretty poor while the handheld games sans the DS ones have been successful.

 

[Man God]

Lyn is my all time favorite FE character. The best part is she's basically non-canon™ prequel fodder!

Nephenee is kind of my waifu

It's probably the same deal with Animal Crossing and why there's no Wii U one.
Wild World and New Leaf did amazing. City Folk didn't do so hot despite being on Wii.

Nephenee is the best Telius girl.

True. They probably would've put it on hold for a lengthy period of time or reboot it completely.

Basically everyone knows this. Her competition is a bunch of lamers especially in PoR.

Who's responsible for this shit? Answer me! This is not okay!

Anime fans were a mistake. They're nothing but trash.

 

[MetroidPrimeRib]

They most likely would have shelved it. In Fire Emblem's case, a reboot is pretty pointless because the series semi re-invents itself after every pair (except for the GBA ones) kind of like the 3d Zeldas.

 

[Hellwarden]

So, I have to admit something.

Apparently Pegasus Knights can be super good units.

But I never use them because they die so easy, and training them, especially in the early games, is such a bitch.

"Christ, Florina, just stay in the back and don't explode this mission okay!?"

I forget the specific class name in Awakening, but the flyer skill 'Galeforce' was ridiculously overpowered in Awakening. I heard it was nerfed a bit for Fates.

FE 7 is the game where they truly shine. Florina is super fragile, but her sisters are even better. They eventually get enough skill and speed to kill everything, decent strength too. Even in Japanese HHM they're pretty boss.

Yep, lol. If you wanted to min/max and clean house, you turned all your girls into Dark Fliers and the baby making metagame revolved around that. Pretty hilarious.

Galeforce allowed a unit to gain another turn if they killed an enemy in their turn, for those that don't know. This is downright insane.
