Fire Emblem - GBA

[Vonwert]

I started playing this two days ago, and this has to be by far the best GBA game out there.

I kinda wish that it wasn't random on how the points are distrubited, but that is only a small complaint.

I really enjoy the characters, which show more depth then most characters of its gene.

Hey Kefka, do we have this?

I'll agree it's fun, but it's no Yu-Gi-Oh! Destiny Board Traveler.

Re: Fire Emblem - GBA

Yeah, we do. I was all over it for a while, but then I suddenly got sick of it. I dunno...

If you liked FFTA so much, this might be a step down. It seemed more linear, at least.

Good game, hardest TBS I've ever played.

Re: Fire Emblem - GBA

Yeah, it's pretty difficult. I've borrowed my copy from a friend for about a year now... needless to say I haven't finished it.

I remember Vandal Hearts being difficult, but I was also a bit younger.

Well, in fire emblem, you could never choose when you wanted to get characters--they just kinda showed up. And if they died, they were gone forever. Knowing this, I played every battle ultra-conservatly and perhaps thats why I found it so hard.

Vandal Hearts was the best strategy RPG to include spurting fountains of blood ever.

Re: Fire Emblem - GBA

I was kind of bored playing Fire Emblem to be honest. There's a pretty large selection of strategy RPGs availabe for GBA, of which I'd choose Final Fantasy Tactics, Tactics Ogre, Shining Force, and either Advance Wars over it.

Any of the other battle systems are more fun to play. I think Fire Emblem's system is stripped down comparitively to competition. The game needs more upgradable aspects for the characters and also more combat variation than the basic 'Rock, Paper, Scissors'. Plus, it's inferior visually comparitively to competition as well. I just think it's way too dry.

I tried FFTA, but for some reason I just couldn't hold much interest in it (partially because of a lack of a fitting room, for certain). I'm interested in Fire Emblem, but I'll wait for the GameCube edition.

Re: Fire Emblem - GBA

I didn't like FFTA at first either but I warmed up to it. I REALLY warmed up to it. 75+ hours of warming up to it!!

AND STILL COUNTING.

There was one. You press start in a shop. The only problem was this feature is never talked about in the instructions or in the game. You just have to figure out you can do it.

Playing Vandal Hearts when I was about 10 or 11 didn't help things eithBLSURGL

And I'd be doing some warming up next to that FFTA if I could find mine...
