Time to talk about a franchise that is slowly dying.
This is where FE peaked.
How retarded would it be for me to pick up this series for the girls?
Is this the game where everybody was screeching about censorship despite the changes were minor?
>>1911660Yes
>>1911685Pretty dumb since it's not like there's lewd scenes of note, you might as well just jerk it to the fanart and not waste time with the shitty gameplay.
Fire Emblem was never good, including the older titles. They were always shitty strategy games overrated because of the Nintendo association. Not even just a consolebabby thing either, since console Koei ports mog the shit out of them.
>>1911703Kaga please.
Good. They havent made a game worth playing in almost 2 decades
>>1911703This sounds exactly like what happens to Xenoblade
>>1911703If they were never good then why am I doing a first time run of Blazing Blade and actually enjoying it right now?Checkmate atheists.
>>1911688Give an inch, they'll take a mile
>>1911268In what world is Fire Emblem dying? Every game since Awakening has sold more than previously besides this one which still sold 1.6 million copies.>inb4 well Engage was really badOf course it was bad. So what?
>>1914511Autists unironically think that when a video game series they enjoy stops being targeted at them, it's dying.
Is it me or is Goldmary a bit overrated?
>>1914511>world population and global purchasing power go up>durr more moneystupid fuck
>>1911268how is it dying? it's getting worse certainly but they still sell and have shit like those musou games and a gacha bringing money in constantly
>>1911268I just replayed Blazing Blade for the first time in about 10 years. It was overall great but holy shit the plot falls off hard towards the end. The larger maps are also a bit of a slog compared to the earlier ones that tend to be smaller. I liked the simplicity of the gameplay.
Why is this dead?
>>1914511Lowkey engage was peak, best gameplay in the series. I even enjoyed the dumbass story for what it was
>>1929264For real, some of the most fun tactical gameplay I've ever experienced (as long as you play above Normal difficulty). Can't comprehend how people want more story in gamesnwith tactical strategy that require using your freaking brain.
>>1911268Is Fire Emblem a legit good tactics game on conslole or do people only like it because its by Nintendo?There a bunch of tactics rpgs like Triangle Strategy FF Tactics Advance Wars etcAre they better or is Fire Emblem legit the peak of the genre?
>>1930218Honestly them being associated with Nintendo is more of a bane than a boon in most case. Nintendies doesn't really appreciate strategy games in most case so they can't rely on loyal Nintendo customers unlike other Nintendo series and them being console locked due to Nintendo gatekeep most of strategy gamers who mostly prefer playing on PC. It's why it's slowly dying until it got somewhat rejuvenated by Awakening because it attract new audience that mostly consist of female otome gamers. Aside from that best strategy rpg is very subjective tbf even different Fire Emblem games itself got compared with each other due to how vastly different each one is. What make Fire Emblem unique compared to other SRPG is because each units are unique characters that can form bond and relationship with each other unlike most SRPG who unit mostly consist of generics. It's the peak of SRPG if you like that sort of thing because nothing come close to it.
>>1930218How I like to see it is if somebody is a closeted strategy gamer- they don't know they like strategy games- Fire Emblem will end up getting rated higher than it should. Tactics Ogre, Disgaea, and Final Fantasy Tactics have way more going on due to having skills/abilities that characters can execute in battle. There's also real time tactical rpgs like Pillars Of Eternity. Another problem with FE is that there's only so much you can do with the formula and the kinds of stories they tell.
>>1930271>>1930274Im fairly new to the SRPG genre and want to get into it and see if it is something for meI recently played Awakening and liked it and am now emulating sacred stones Can you recomend me some games i should play afterwards?Should i stick to Fire Emblem and play the newer games or try something new?
>>1930297If you're enjoying FE, more power to you then. I remember the old guard saying Three Houses was a step in the right direction. So maybe you could try that next, and the one that was on the gamecube as well.For gaymes outside of the FE sphere:>Advance Wars series>Tactics Ogre Let Us Cling Together and Knights of Lodis>Disgaea (prepare for a lot of grinding, no matter which game)>Phantom Brave
