I'm sure someone will disagree, but these are my thoughts.Fates and Engage are great if you have teambuilding autism, but I think DRPGs are a better fit for that than SRPGs.

>>724675692Ok
>>724675773"Ok"LMAO THAT'S ALL YOU CAN SAY FUCKING PWNED RETARD
>>724675514I've only played 7, Radiant Dawn, like 8 chapters of Path of Radiance and AwakeningMe? Radiant Dawn has the best characters so that's what I pick
>>724675514if only three houses wasn't 30fps -300p
I really like FE6, but some of the gaiden chapters are a drag. Yeah, you can warp skip them, but that doesn't make them good. Also, I wish the hit rates on axes were a bit higher. Maybe make supports build faster as well. I like it about as much as Shadow Dragon. So, its a B+
>>724675893if only FE6 wasn't 240p and sprite based...
What would your ideal Fire Emblem game be like?
>>724677218gameplay of conqueststory like Radiant Dawnstory paths like three houses.Honestly just give me Fire EmblemxLangrisser.
>>724675874Yeah.>>724675882Playing Ike 2 but only a few chapters of Ike 1 is really weird but I respect it.>>724675893Yeah. Game's ugly as fuck but it's up there even if it has some Persona-isms I don't care for.
>>724677218Either try to do what Path of Radiance + Radiant Dawn did as one big game without some of the compromises and faults of Radiant Dawn, or do another Three Houses but actually make each route worthwhile and polish it up a good deal: stuff like route specific base camp relocation and better character side stories.I think some Suikoden 2/5 influence could really help, too.
>>724675995Shadow Dragon outranks it for me because of the extra difficulty modes + the maps. I think 7 is arguably better than SD but it's also a bit dull despite the three lords gimmick.Most of row 3 is just "it's more of the same" than a big step down in quality.
>>724675514Simply bad taste
>>724678367>Does not specify in what way.Coward.
>>724675514opened the thread expecting to rage but I mostly agree with this, I'd put shadow dragon in kinda bad and three houses in it's okay but that's it
>>724678443It's self evident. You put the games most devoid of strategery in the upper tiers and the games that actually require a modicum of thought to play in the bottom two. You do not want to play videogames.
>>724678573>Refuses to be specific.lmao
>>724678443not him but geneology is a bottom tier game I honestly doubt you even played it, echoes is trash as well, then PoR is fine but slooooow as fuck and because of that I will always rate it below the 3 gba games before it
>>724677218engage pretty much lol. but like with actual world building
>>724678498I think 3H is significantly better than Awakening despite having some clear flaws, so it'd be weird to not say it's a step above. I don't like it as much as Gaiden or Radiant Dawn, but it's a good game that's trying something fresh, where most of "It Ok" is games that give you stuff the first two tiers do, just not as interesting. Like, the gap between 3H and Blazing Blade is a sliver, imo, but the novelty and sheer content pushed 3H over.I mostly put SD where it is because I think 1 with 90s game systems is better than 3, 6, and 8. I think Awakening has a bit too much stuff and gets weak in the back half in a way 1 doesn't. 7 > 1, but being the first one gets it a little leeway in my book. Also, people like to say it's ugly, but it looks great on original hardware.TL;DR, if you asked me to swap SD and 7 I'd probably agree with you, but I think 3H earned its spot.
>>724678498please kill yourself
>>724679140awakening is more fun to play but that doesnt seem to be a priority to you
>>724678692>Genealogy badIt's fucking weird and I think it lacks replay value, but it's also great.>Echoes bad>No explanation>Doesn't shit on GaidenUh huh.>PoR may be a deeply superior game in all levels but it's heckin slowerinoIgnoring your opinions.
>>724679272>Hey here's a discussion about these games.>Heh, you seem to hate FUNWhy are you like this
>>724679282>Echoes bad>>No explanationshitty maps, very boring and open with nothing going on, when they finally do try stuff you get tedious shit like the swap, stories bland, characters suck. it has nice presentation thats about it. I didnt play gaiden so I wont speak on that. >PoR may be a deeply superior game it really isnt its extremely comparable to the gba games except it has the huge flaw of being excruciatingly slow
>>724679567>it really isntBetter maps, better story, skill system returns after being absent on GBA, weapon forging, the first game with a base and associated support/prep function, great unit design, good story (split in half, but still). More reason to praise it than reasons you gave for Echoes being bad. Maybe you're just retarded.
>>724679908>Better maps,debatable> skill system returns after being absent on GBA,imo the way it is in PoR its not much of a bonus its more of a neutral feature > the first game with a base and associated support/prep functionlowkey a bad thing and set in motion worse things to come>great unit designfor the most part yeah, I kinda dont like the art though it reminds me of how to draw anime books >good story agreed, its one of the few fe's I would say has a good story I didnt say PoR was bad, I just cant rank it above the gba games because its so slow. this might seem like a minor complaint but it really effects the flow of the game and when ever I play PoR id pretty much rather play any other fe
>>7246802166's map design is pretty ass and 8 only has like 8 good maps total, and 3 of those are Ephraim's blowjob squad mission. You could argue 7 maybe?Either way, you gotta admit that the game speed being slow is a weird sticking point, right? Like, you're not going to be replaying SRPGs often, and PoR isn't made super long. It's just not as snappy.
>>724677453>story like Radiant DawnRadiant Dawn has a bad story though>story paths like 3hUnless people are not so quick to reject the Fates compromise (40$ game+20$ for other routes), I find that it spreads the game too thin. Even storywise, 3H had way too much lazy copy paste and purposefully gimped its own stories so that they could spread shit to the 4 routes.
>>724680434Yeah, they didn't have enough game to justify four routes, but they already committed to the JP name. I'm hoping Fortune's Weave (what a terrible name) actually delivers after 3H made a shitzillion dollars.
>>724675514from my experience the series has no bad games7 is the best and 6 is the worst, which is funny because they are probably the most similar games.
>>724680393>you're not going to be replaying SRPGs often,uh actually I love replaying fe games thats actually one of the most important things to me
>>724680527>geneology and echoes that high I swear you guys are not actually playing the games
>>724680527I don't agree but I respect it.Only thing I wanna say is I could never put Fates over Engage. The way it designs encounters is tedious and boring. Awakening has its problems but fuck, at least the good parts are fun.
>>724680614Hey fair enough. In that case I'm surprised you don't rank Fates and Engage fairly highly. I don't like their gameplay, personally, but they seem the most replay friendly.>>724680671Or people just have different things they find worthwhile in games? Quit being autistic.
>>724680671besides the dogshit maps echoes is amazing. best art direction, decent story, gameplay system was pretty good despite being very different from "normal fire emblem"with genealogy, liking it is just a matter of whether you get filtered or not. its ludokino.
>>724680870>In that case I'm surprised you don't rank Fates and Engage fairly highly.I do, they are my favorite
>>724681030>if you ignore actually playing the game its really good :)
>>724681145I guess you didn't read the spoiler text in the OP? That's meant for people like you.
>>724681212The terrain isn't the only part of what makes for good gameplay, retard.
>>724681259I woudnt really say I have team building autism I just use who ever I think is cool like arthur or panette
>>724681145>Sacred Stones in AIt was my first Fire Emblem and even I'm not that retarded.
>>724681319thats like saying a platformer where all the stages are trash but the character controls well is good
>>724681145>Sacred Stones in high A Honestly deserved. If the game was just willing to increase the enemy quality and if it handled its split promos better, it'd probably be S tier.
>>724681431Yeah, it's called Sonic 3 & Knuckles. Game's fantastic.
>>724681412its fun, the most important thing for a game
>>724681518It's not as fun as like half of the series. Not bad, but come on.
>>7246814803&K doesnt have terrible levels at least to the degree that echoes has bad maps
>>724681431Rondo of BloodDonkey Kong CountryMega Man X
>>724681212>>724681431there are thing in the game besides the mapsfor echoes>the dungeons were cool>the magic system where you have a spell list and it cost health to cast was interesting>the class system in the game good>the inventory and item system without durability was a nice change of pace
>>724681610none of those games have completely trash levels
>>724681578A bunch of hallways and set pieces is pretty comparable to a bunch of wide open spaces. They're both low on nuance in environment design and make up for it with player interaction options and enemy design + gimmicks.
>>724681558to me it is, I know its flawed this isnt some objective list just what i like
>>724681754We're all giving opinions here, anon.
Fuck it, I'm gonna do it. I'm gonna play every Fire Emblem.Should I slog through the FC version of 1 knowing that item management will drive me insane?
>>724681874FE was my pandemic series loved going through it. I didnt start with the first game though. i think its worth playing through most of the games
>>724681874Truthfully, you can probably skip FE1, since both FE3 book 1 and FE11 remade it. However, you would miss out on the uniqueness of FE1 if you do so, for better or worse.
>path of radiance at the topHow? It pretty much plays itself.
