Another Great Fire Emblem Game

When the first Fire Emblem game came out in the US, I was thrilled. I loved the characters from Super Smash Brothers Melee and wanted it very bad. I got the game and played it an entire summer non-stop. All the plot twists, the character development, the leveling system, it waqs just all so simple to play and yet complex to win. You actually ha to have a plan going into each level. When The Sacred Stones was announced, I waited until the day it came out and got it. I did the same with Path of Radience.

First of all, if you enjoyed the previous titles you will absolutly love this one. It has stunning graphics, hours and hours of gameplay, and cool characters. Finally a lord is cool AND strong!!! While the plot is straight forward as of level 8, it still makes you want to know what happens next. The game also has several cool anime clips that are very well done.

Here are the Pros and Cons:

Pros:
+Amazing Graphics
+50 Hours of Gameplay
+A good Lord for once!
+New classes(Animal races!)
+Interesting Characters

Cons:
-They took away choosing classes!
-Plot develops later
-Annoying Music while attacking
-Missing FE theme

Anyone who hates this game, hasn't played it.

This game rocks!!!

There are so many awesome things, but lets start with characters. There are like 30+ different characters you can earn and unlock. One cool thing is that each character joining is different. Some only join if Ike (the main character) talks to them, some only join if you have someone of the same type to talk to them (mage, archer, knight, etc), or, some just join you after the chapter (level). Each character is different. Some have really good armor, others have awesome attack power some can't be hit, others land critical strikes 70% of the time, etc. In "Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones." you got certain talismans that could upgrade characters but by the end you'd only have half your group upgraded. Not here. This time they evolve right after level 20.

The graphics are b-e-au-tiful. The characters are very detailed. Every wrinkle, every frown, every scar is shown. As my mom said "oh my gosh... that sky is so beautiful. *gasp* wow" So yea... i guess the enviornmental graphics are pretty good too. The map designs are very unique and interesting. A couple of fields are wide open, no hiding, no cover, just an all out dog fight. Some maps have rooms or rocks a character can hide in or by. Other maps are very complex and have narrow paths, many obsticals and few doorways. (Perfect for rangers, not so good for knights...)

Last thing is the story. Now, i can't give an accurate telling of this story, due to the fact that i'm approximatly only half-way through it. But so far Ike joins his father's buisness- being a mercenary. So Ike and about 5 other mercenaries set off to random spots and assist thoughs who call. Later Ike's father meets up with a mysterious black knight who talks to him as if he knows him. Ike's father does know him, but won't tell us who it is. Also, later in the story, it appears another character was hiding in the woods while Ike's father battled the Black knight. These events lead into Ike escorting a princess to help her stop a war from breaking out in the land.

All in all this game is awesome, if you get the chance to play it take it!!!

In the first two Fire Emblem games that came out for GBA I was amazed! I hated GBA games and never used mine. I would be playing for hours and hours.Then they have came out with it on the big screen!!! For once your lord is amazing and dont have to worry about him dieing. The graphics are the best I have ever seen. Not just the combat graphics, but your palidians and knights look soooo cool.Also you can make up your own move! You can design the handle and the more money you put in to it,the better it is.I put in 200000$ and gave it to my worst person.After two lvls I let her kill everybody on.She was on lvl 20.Another thing is you get to relize how much animals you get. you can get a cat and ivlove to a tiger and so on and so forth. The traing is quite easy and makes it funnier becasue you get A LOT of Master Seals and so on.The game goes up and down in how hard it is.But most of the game is easy.I'm on chapter 22.Got to go.

Makes everyone a perfectionist

I don't care if you say that you are not a perfectionist, this game will bring out that side of you. It creates the need to have your entire group survive from battle to battle. I have played a battle over and over till I figure out a way to have everyone survive. The story is good but not great. But it is just a lot of fun to play. I am tempted to go back and pick up the GBA versions of the game so that I can keep playing it while I am on the road.

The game's focus is on creating strategy. And once you have a strategy built around you characters, it will get tested over and over again. This testing will cause your characters to gain levels and suddenly you need a new strategy to handle more powerful enemies with characters that gain news skills as you go.

I did find the class change to be limiting as you can cap out (as a class caps at 20 and you have two class levels so in essence you can cap at 40.). But other wise I wise buy.

Best Fire Emblem Yet

This game is awesome! I got it and couldn't stop playing! The graphics are awesome! I played the two english fire emblems before it, but this one beats them all. The story line is pretty good,the graphics are awesome, cool new 'abilities' or 'skills', and able to choose weapon after class change. The only con for this game is that if you've ever played Fire Emblem Sacred Stones, you will find out that this game loses the choices of classes to change into. Multiple chapters or 'levels' to play through, many recruitable characters, new types of magic, and a bunch of new weapons. There are also new classes, including beasts and ravens. I hope you buy this game and that this guide has been helpful to you.

BEST GAME I'VE EVER PLAYED!!!!!!!!!!

This is by far, the best game I've ever played. I couldn't stop. I'd play until 11:00 at night and get up at 4:00 to make up for the lost hours at school. I've almost beaten twice. I think the second time is even better. You try to upgrade the units you left out during your first run at it.

Anyway, it centers around a new mercenary named Ike. His father is the leader of the group. Well, while out on a patrol, they run into their country's princess and learn their country is being conquered. So they flee to a country called Begnion to look for support to Liberate Crimea. To find out the rest, you'll have to play it. During the game you can award extra experience points you earned on the battlefield and have support conversations with forty-something characters (if they don't die.)

Overall, I loved this game. I hope Nintendo and Intelligent Systems come out with another Fire Emblem game for Gamecube (Revolution?) As soon as possible, or translate all the Japanese versions and bring to the U.S. Until then I'll play what I got.

awesome

I only got this game today, and I've only made it to chapter 4 or 5, but... I swear I could not stop playing this. One thing that has always irked me about games are the "lives" concept. Fire Emblem is truly unique in the concept of "he's gone, he's gone. Forever.". For once I have to really think about my actions in a game, and this pleases me since I prefer games where strategy is key. One thing, although this is pretty silly, that I like about this game is the character art. It BUGS ME big time when you have no good graphic pictures of the characters you talk to. I like to know what a person really looks like. Plus the art in this game is just plain amazing. Ever since I've started drawing anime, I appreciate this kind of thing more.
I have not much more to say other than this is a great game and should not be passed by. If you like playing direct combat, however, this is not for you, as (or as far as I've gotten) there's none of that in here. Otherwise, buy this game!
