The one only place to discuss anything and everything Fire Emblem. To get things started, I will post this image that perfectly describes Fire Emblem Awakening. Enjoy, and go nuts.

Perfect thread, from the perfect person to start it, for my perfect current situation. I have been thinking of trying again a fire emblem game since the first time i tried it, it didn't quite catch my attention but you know it's always good a second chance. So... which fire emblem game do you recommend for a noob to the series just starting out?

Fire Emblem 7 is a great place to start (Arguably one of the best in the series)

Not to mention she is the worst myrmidon cause you get it so late. By the time you get her Joshua is already Critting bosses, dodging lances and doubles everything.

I had the patched ROM for it, but that was on my old laptop. Didn't get to play it too much :[

I started another playthrough of FE:A on hard, but after several critical hits against me I rage quit for a little while.

I'm actually doing a Lunatic run on Awakening myself. This will be my third attempt; for the first two runs, I accidentally deleted my save file ;-;

I've played the shite out of Sacred Stones to the point where my only thing left to do is abuse that one thing that lets you get more Swiftsoles to the point where every single unit I have has max movement.
Other than that, I've played some of 7, some of 6, and am currently working on Geneology of the Holy War (which I hear is super hard).
That's all I got.

Other than that, I've played some of 7, some of 6, and am currently working on Geneology of the Holy War (which I hear is super hard). That's all I got. Thracia776 is the hardest IMO For some reasons, mostly bad translation or 1. Useless lord without the use of scrolls( mostly cause again, japanese tranlation you won't learn about scroll abuse unless you go search on the internet or on youtube and even so some people don't know how to do proper scroll abuse. Not to mention geting scrolls is hard, but after that Leaf is beast! And hist light sword is really cool) 2. Things the game doesn't tell you. Including numerous numerous instances of enemy reinforcements (which spawn on enemy phase and get to attack as soon as they spawn) appearing just in the right places to fuck you over, there's also a part after Ch 3 that can really screw you over if you don't have the right weapons on the right characters. Oh, and be sure to have Leaf be the last person to escape a map, or else everyone else is captured. 3. Really good level design, not in your favor. 4. Single RN system. Makes high hit rates miss more often and low hit rates hit more often than in the Double RN system, so it usually helps out the enemies more than it helps out you. 5. All stats (except HP) cap at 20. Meaning by endgame having really strong units will only help you to a point. Not to mention later levels are rife with enemies using a weapon that will drop you to 1 HP no matter what your stats are. 6. No formation feature. This is really annoying when the game starts splitting your army into groups at the start of a level and you can't control who is in what group. 7. Leadership stars. Cyas's two chapters especially, but just in general bosses have a good amount of leadership. 8. Gate/throne bonuses grant 10 defense. Makes bosses more difficult. 9. Tons of long-range magic. 10. Dismounting makes your mounted units typically useless in indoor maps (especially since many start with an E sword rank) 11. Enemies have very high crit chances, and the crit formula for Thracia is different so that a crit is basically death. Mitigated somewhat by the 12 Hoplon Guards you get over the course of the game. 12. Xavier. 13. If you don't speak japanese some weapon data, magic data or even hints throughout some story stuff you get will be missed or not even translated cause the english patch sucks.(if you have a way to resolve everything on this list they game will get normal so you just need a good walkthrough to go through it, which is hard to find.) In short Thracia is hard for unfair reason. But Holly war is also hard, but most of your fuck ups are your fault so you can't complain.
