Sprout Posted October 28, 2005 Author Posted October 28, 2005 I'm so unsure whether to get it or not!I'm just not sure whether its for me or not, argh. I'm not getting it straight away anyway, but I'm not sure if i'll ever get it either. Hmm.. You like Advance Wars and RPGs. Fire Emblem is an Strategy RPG type game. You will LOVE this gae. Buy it, or forever be tormented by the fact that you don't have a great game in your possession.
Hero-of-Time Posted October 31, 2005 Posted October 31, 2005 Well I got my copy pre-ordered ready for Thursday. So who else is getting it this week?
Guest Ray Falling Posted October 31, 2005 Posted October 31, 2005 I've almost finished it now I think. Its so freaking amazing. ;_; Its now one of my new favourite games n_n. Its alot harder than the gba one, which is goog, and it seems alot longer too which is even better. The gba one had 20 chapters, while this one has past 25 n_n. I'm very very pleased with what they've come up with this game is truely amazing, get it as soon as you can. --Ray EDIT: I just finished it!!! ;_; wow its been a while since a game had this sort of impact on me n_n; I love it so much. Some parts were confusing, so I have to play the game again and do it right this time n_n. But it was great...ARGH And when you finish it, you get to see the FMV's whenever you want to ;_; *drool*
Mundi Posted November 1, 2005 Posted November 1, 2005 i´ll propaly get it when i get my hands on some cash. I´ve only played number 7 (with eliwood and hector and all that) and i loved but i haven´t finished it because the idiot of a brother of mine lost it When i bought FE 7 i almost didn´t get it because i was trying to decide between FE or Shining Force on GBA and i choose right ;P even though Shining Force are kick-ass games

Domstercool Posted November 3, 2005 Posted November 3, 2005 My copy arrived today! I'm up to chapter 8 at the moment, just pausing for a tea break. I'm loving it myself and it stays pretty close to the GBA games. ^_^
Guest Ray Falling Posted November 3, 2005 Posted November 3, 2005 Yet it has alot of nice new feautres too. And the levels are alot more exciting n_n. I love the fact that you can make custom weapons 0_0 that saved me in many occasions
IMJ Posted November 4, 2005 Posted November 4, 2005 Great thread this one. I'm joining in with the fun Intelligent Systems definately is one of my fave developers. In the NES/SNES era I always wondered what the fuss was all about the Famicom Wars and Fire Emblem games. I remember when the N64 was doing the business a new SNES game was announced. That game was Fire Emblem 5: Thracia 776. "That's just crazy" I thought. With the arrival of the GBA I finally could get my hands on the Advance Wars and Fire Emblem games. They're just freaking awesome! They even rival Zelda as my favourite game franchise. Anyway, I just love 'm! Shame we Fire Emblem 6 was never localized, but they made that up by releasing Fire Emblem: Sacred Stones and Path of Radiance yesterday Got my hands on Path of Radiance yesterday, will get Sacred Stones as soon as possible. Though Advance Wars DS has got my hands full already...
Hero-of-Time Posted November 4, 2005 Posted November 4, 2005 Well once again I get screwed out of playing a game straight away. My Nintendogs got lost in the post so I decided to not use Gameplay for this and just get it at my local games shop instead. I went to get it yesterday and they said it would be in today. I then went up today and still no game as their Nintendo shipment has been delayed. I clearly have the worst luck when buying games. This better not happen when I get Mario Kart or there will be hell to pay. Hopefully it will arrive tomorrow........
Kenta Posted November 5, 2005 Posted November 5, 2005 I might get it. I've finally got some money I can spend on a game, is this game really worth it? I've had my eyes on Resident Evil 4 for some time, which one do you think I should get first?
thomaschung Posted November 6, 2005 Posted November 6, 2005 I will get this at some point but not now. i have played though Tales of Symphonia, and almost completed Baten Kaitos, and not really ready for another long game as i got others to get back to like Vietiful Joe 2, MP: Echoes, and Resi 4. But I will get it at some point.
Guest Ray Falling Posted November 6, 2005 Posted November 6, 2005 Its about 25 hours, give or take and you can just play missions that take about an hour half an hour possibly less.
Hero-of-Time Posted November 6, 2005 Posted November 6, 2005 If you look on gamefaqs it says you have to finish it 15 times to get a character!!!!!!!
Guest Ray Falling Posted November 6, 2005 Posted November 6, 2005 If you look on gamefaqs it says you have to finish it 15 times to get a character!!!!!!! true, but you can get many characters. Theres also one for if you finish it 3 times and then some other random numbers, but they can only be used in special maps. But you cant level up in these special maps so its hardly anything to keep you busy. The main game is awesome enough and the extras are just a bonus. But the main game should keep you busy for enough.
Hero-of-Time Posted November 6, 2005 Posted November 6, 2005 Still gutted I havent been able to get this yet. I went to get it again on Saturday and the shipment of Nintendo games for my local games shop has went missing. I wouldnt care I finally got all the cards on Baten Kaitos aswell so I would have been able to start it.
Ramar Posted November 6, 2005 Posted November 6, 2005 I went shopping in Bedford yesterday I saw it in one shop, and that was an indepedant retailer, not even GAME or Gamestation had it, which leaves me to believe there might have been a problem or delay. Unfortunately for me I didn't have enough money for it.
Retro_Link Posted November 6, 2005 Posted November 6, 2005 http://www.planetgamecube.com have their review up and have given it 9.5/10!!! They even go so far as to say; "Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance is a game that definitely should have been released at the beginning of the GameCube’s life; it could have easily become a killer application of Final Fantasy VII proportions had it only been given launch-window recognition. Really, it’s that good. Go out and buy it, folks, this could very well be the GameCube's Game of the Year." full review here; http://www.planetgamecube.com/reviews.cfm?action=profile&id=688 AWESOME!!!!!

GRRRRRRR I want this game even more now. Why does the world mock me so?
That Guy Posted November 6, 2005 Posted November 6, 2005 I'm considering getting this and battalion wars this year. What do you guys reckon? Should I go for it?
Guest Ray Falling Posted November 6, 2005 Posted November 6, 2005 I'm considering getting this and battalion wars this year. What do you guys reckon? Should I go for it? Depends on if you like this type of game...but since yer also getting battalion wars id say you do. Its a really great game and I can totally recommend it. Its a really unique game and has a great story to go with that. The strategy part is really well executed and has plenty of new features. Id say if yer not sure, rent or borrow it first, but in my opinion this is a title you really dont want to miss n_n It got a comfy place in my top favourite games of all times n_n
Sooj Posted November 7, 2005 Posted November 7, 2005 This is my fire Fire Emblem game and WOW it is bloody fantastic and I mean it, this isn't an hyperbole. The characters, they way the develop, mature. Not long ago rolf was a weak little boy, now he is one of my best. I'm 12 and a half hours into the game - chapter 15 and I'm loving it. Surely my favourite game on the cube so far. ~Possible Spoilers~ Oscar, Titania, Ike, Boyed totally cool characters. This game, I don't what it is but you really feel as if they are real. Such as when they all support Ike as commander, the music hits in and they words of encouragement surely will boost anyone's morale, well mines at least. Even when some of your forces, Gatrie for example, leave your crew because they can't accrept you as commander you kinda think "Ah well, as long as the rest stick with me" but then, when you later catch up with him and his new employee you are kinda pissed off at him. Hahah I know, I know, its only a game but still.
Sprout Posted November 7, 2005 Author Posted November 7, 2005 Glad to see that Fire Emblem has attracted some new fans. Pity I have to wait for Christmas. Ah well, something big to look forward to I suppose.
Guest Ray Falling Posted November 7, 2005 Posted November 7, 2005 Playing it for the second time now n_n Just racing through and trying to get it right this time n_n.
The-Ironflame Posted November 7, 2005 Posted November 7, 2005 I started again seems that I missed one character and I can't be bothered to play it after I'm done :p I was up to chapter 10 I want to do it right to get some bonus exp but I need that character but I clocked up my hours cos I left my cube on for a few hours to cook.. currently on chapter 7 on my new game.
