Personally, after playing FE Awakening, and going back to play a few others, it has a common problem with most TRPGs in that difficulty doesn't scale up, RNG just gets worse. By this token alone I probably will never play through most of the others. Favorite character is Ike though, mostly because he's got beast frame data in Project M and zips around the stage faster than Sanic.

This is a tactical RPG game? Comparable to what other game?

>>1208 Yeah, they're pretty fun. Be warned that if an ally falls in combat, they're gone for good. So that adds an extra layer of depth to how you plan your moves.
I'd recommend FE7, which is just called Fire Emblem in the US, for starters. Has a long tutorial for newbies, and doesn't really need any prior story experience.

I've played FE7, PoR, RD, and Awakening. And real talk? I actually really liked Awakening While I don't like it quite as much as PoR or FE7, I definitely don't think it deserves all the flak it gets. Sure it's different and goes for a more "anime-esque" aesthetic but that doesn't really ruin anything and brings a bit of a fresh style to it. The characters are somewhat more lighthearted and easier to enjoy even for newer people and the visuals are actually really nice for a 3DS game. The music was dynamic and really helped the atmosphere of the battle when transferring into a battle scene and Tharja is the best thing to be invented since H20

Anonymous 03/09/15 (Mon) 19:16:27 ca6f8d No. 1888
>>1885 There's too much of it, but it's not godawful. Scramble pack is fanservice for popular characters. Harvest pack I think, is the one for grinding. The rest are alt-story maps and challenge stuff. Nothing necessary.
>>1835 I seriously think Awakening gets all the shit it does because /v/ is /v/. It's not that bad of a game. Mechanically, I think it refines the support system to the best it's been. Otherwise it doesn't deviate from the series norms. There might be more anime-esque characters, true, but the series never took itself completely seriously. And Fire Emblem threads were always, always about waifus. Ever since FE7 came out for the west. The only difference is, the waifus were more popular in Awakening.
It's not the best, but it's not the worst game in the series. Awakening haters don't really listen to reason though.
Anonymous 03/09/15 (Mon) 19:49:10 ef90da No. 1895
>>1835 Tharja is indeed amazing. I think the problems with Awakening are mostly that the missions and levels are very bland in their design, it's mostly very open levels and just kill everything. The pairing system also means you can further ignore any kind of formation and terrain as two good paired units are just unstoppable 90% of the time. In previous games rescuing a unit was a burden and you'd only ever grab a weakened unit to save them and get out quickly; in awakening a weakened unit can be saved by a better one and both units get a buff along with extra damage and attacks by the paired unit potentially striking too.

If by "refining" you mean breaking it and causing it to become a giant crutch that makes the game way to easy, then yeah sure.
The series has always been anime-esque, quit talking like it never has been.

How does it make supports into a crutch? I could see how it maybe could if you insist on keeping all your characters partnered the entire map, everytime, but not much other than that. It just made it a lot easier for me to get the support dialogue, which is really all I gave a shit about in the first place.
Anonymous 03/16/15 (Mon) 15:11:37 a502b6 No. 3137
>>2753 You basically become invincible with your partnered units. They offer penalty free complete defense, allow you to have free second strikes, and you can easily transport heavy units across the map with no penalty to speed or movement, example: knights pairing up with Pegasus knights. Also the computer doesn't ever pair up.
The pair up and support system broke the game.

>>1888 I don't hate Awakening but acting like it's just like all the other games is inane. The map design is terrible and the grinding/class change mechanics is a step towards making it like every other SRPG where people obsess about making their faggy maxed out uber characters (FFT, TO, Disgaea) and difficulty is based on macro level decisions (what class/skill/support setup do you have?) and your micro level decisions (positioning and what you attacked and what weapon is equipped) matter less.
It's also easier than ever to just use a couple units and steamroll the game because caps are so insanely high combined with a minimum EXP gain of 8 means that no matter how far ahead of curve you get you still level up at a reasonable pace when you're only really using two units, leading to stupid shit like Avatar/Chrom being able to pairup and crush Lunatic in 3 hours.
Going "hurr it's just waifus" makes you look like a retard who thinks people only hate DmC because of the hair.

And fuck running away, I ain't no bitch nigger. I finally beat that chapter but still wasn't able to defeat him before the blue dragon faggot showed up. You need like two aethers in a row to beat him which is shit. I had Ike maxed out and he still only got one. Not to mention Mist is completely useless so I have to get her out of there as soon as she shows up.

Beating the Black Knight requires luck, even if you manipulate RNG to max all of Ike's important stats. Also if you really want to do it, giving Ike Resolve+Wrath is better than giving him Aether, for the purposes of that fight. The only reward for beating him is you recruit a slightly better dragon (both dragons are trash ;_;). Also Mist is really good if you level her.

>How can supply-chain management help a company establish a competitive advantage? >a Thief is seen with an infinite use Iron Bow These concern me. I'm hoping skills aren't as broken as Awakening, and no weapons breaking would make it even more casual. Part of what is supposed to make Nohr more challenging is limited supplies.
So Hoshido is more traditional plotwise, but Nohr is more traditional gameplay-wise. I'm assuming Hoshida is targeted towards the newer audience while Nohr is targeted towards older fans. I don't want to get my hopes up, but other than all the DLC shenanigans it looks to be an improvement from Awakening.
What will be interesting plotwise is how much the character interacts with both nations before the decision. I wonder if the protag knows they were born to Hoshida, or if they've met any Hoshida people before the split? That would make it a lot more interesting then "hey, we're you're real family, want to join us?"

Awakening's plot isn't terrible, but I don't think it's great. There's a lot of flaws off the top of my head. They get the big bad dragon mixed up with the Shadow Dragon, and never really fix that. The twist with Robin was clever I thought. I also enjoyed the 2nd generation characters though they got very little screentime for their importance.
I think a lot of the game's problems came from a bloated cast. Maybe if will fix that, or make it worse.

Being reminded of Gangrel makes me angry at how badly they dropped the ball on him.
>Gangrel is the primary villain of the first part of Awakening, and comes off as a bland generic moustache-twirling psycho
>He's an optional recruit later on in the game, and it's revealed that he not only has a tragic backstory and noble yet ultimately corrupted intentions for his rule, the fact that everything he's worked towards and everyone he's hurt ultimately amounted to absolutely nothing has left him suicidal and empty, ultimately joining an army with a leader who openly loathes him in hopes that he will at least die doing something worthwhile
>All he gets in the form of interaction is a single support convo branch with MU and small short conversations with two characters in the fucking one fanservice DLC

Have to agree on that. Gangrel has a ton of wasted potential. If they do something similar with if, I hope they actually give it the screentime it deserves.

The main story itself was very barebones compared to some of the better plots in the series (FE5, 7, 8, 9), and the characters all felt like one dimensional archetypes.

A few of em could have some more depth if you looked in obscure supports. Like how Gaius blamed his robbery on Maribelle's father because otherwise the guys hiring him would have killed her instead.

After reading this, holy shit. I think If is going to be the first Fire Emblem I'll just refuse to buy until a significant price drop, if even then.

Eh, it depends.
The way the devs talk about it in the interview this isn't some Pokemon shit where the game is basically identical but with slight availability differences. They're saying we're pretty much getting an entirely different game–different maps, different story, it just happens to be based around the same events (and even then these events go differently). Yeah there's reused assets like character design and soundtrack, but if this is true it means they wrote three different plots and designed something like 75 unique maps to use (the game splits after Ch. 5 and this is supposedly the 1/6 way point, meaning there's about 25 maps unique to each route).
It doesn't seem like a Sacred Stones thing where you can do a route split where the story changes and a third of the game is different (in exchange for the main campaign being shorter than any other FE anyway). It's more like if in Pokemon Blue you joined Team Rocket at the end of Nugget Bridge instead of beating that guy down and went off to have Team Rocket Adventures or something crazy like that.
But we don't really know much about the game other than the Direct hype, so it's hard to say either way at the moment.
