Well although you didnt ask me I will answer with a firm YES I imagine this will be one of those hard to find games in years to come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anything it looks like the price is going to rise (aka Skies). On Gameplay for example its gone up from £29.99 to £32.99 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amon Posted November 11, 2006 Share Posted November 11, 2006 Yes, I will strongly advice anyone wondering if they should or if they shouldn't purchase this sweet gem right not to go and buy it. It's far superior to the GBA-versions as it has easier way to reset the game and begin again. You might not clock more then purhaps 10 hours on the game, but that doesn't include all the times one of your characters die and you start the mission again knowing this time more what not to do. On some of the missions I might have done this at least fifty times, maybe even hundreds. You'll do it, because you really care about all the characters and want them all to survive. I won't reveal what happens if you do so, but trust me on this when I tell you that you'll be very pleased indeed. There's also the issue of connecting your GBA-games to the GC-versions to unlock artwork from those games. In my opinion that's a very nice addition, especially if you've gone far in both games. You see, the further you'll reach in the GBA-games the more characters will be unlocked in that game, which in effect gives you more beautiful artwork to gawk at. I promise you, their really nice to look at and I'm not really that great art-lover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flaight Posted November 19, 2006 Share Posted November 19, 2006 I think it's worth it. For me FE series arrived way so late in the west. It's a fairly "new" franchise compared to the likes of Metroid, though in Japan it is nearly just as old. As a result, the NGC version also fell short of becoming a blockbuster. FE brand just doesn't have the same penetration as Zelda and Metroid. It falls into the same 'sort' of category as Skies of Arcadia Legend on NGC - it was a game that deserved more attention, but it arrived too late as a "failed Dreamcast game" into NGC scene and disappeared into obscurity. It's a shame when that happens to a good game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zechs Merquise Posted November 21, 2006 Author Share Posted November 21, 2006 Despite the lack of cut scenes (which is CRIMINAL as they're probably the best cut scenes I've ever seen, I just love the style of them and the animation is soooo beautiful) I've not had this much fun with a game for a long time. Infact it's been a long time indeed since i've been sat up past midnight just plugging away on one game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stocka Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 The more I play it the more fun it gets. I think i'm pretty far now, and am having one hell of a time. I've never wanted to level up characters so much since Pokemon, there's excellent depth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never wanted to level up characters so much since Pokemon, there's excellent depth. It's the same for me, I think I'm on Level 20 now, and I love all the characters, it's the class change feature I adore, you just want to see them grow and develop, much in the same way that pokemon evolve.

darksnowman Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 It is a masterpiece. And the way you have to strategically decide who to level up where and when, against what type of baddies... makes it unlike the way in Pokemon you can just spend time levelling up. Although in Fire Emblem you can award bonus exp to people when youre in the camp so get them up to speed, so it all balances out. What about for Wii then, we'll be getting that one as soon as it appears...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stocka Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 I certainly will. Infact its possibly my most wanted Wii game after Zelda and Mario Galaxy EDIT: WOW! The Serenese Forest cutscene with the Heron is BEAUTIFUL :shock: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darksnowman Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 You're well into the game, keep going. Thats possibly the longest chapter you're on right now, so enjoy it and make sure you make it through with every one intact. I'm glad you said about it being so anticipated for you, cos I thought that maybe I was alone on having it so high up my list. I'd love ot have it for next Christmas.

Stocka Posted January 5, 2007 Share Posted January 5, 2007 Just completed it earlier this evening! WOW, what a game. Bloody huge too! Fantastic ending, I really loved the whole experience. Amazing characters, I sometimes found it hard to belive that they're not actually real superb personalities. And the amount of effort gone into the script is unbelieveable, the game is like an engrossing epic fantasy book, and don't get me started on the brilliance of the art. Really excited about the sequel, and am so pleased that I bought Path of Radiance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reckon this game could be turned into an epic anime, or better still a massive Lord of the Rings style movie franchise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hero-of-Time Posted January 6, 2007 Share Posted January 6, 2007 Has anyone on here actually finished the game 15 times to unlock everything? Its something I have always fancied doing but other games come along and get in the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one thing i'd have loved to see is a multiplayer mode whereby I could pit my team that I've built up against other people's teams. Nintendo really missed out with the lack of online in games like this and Battalion wars. I always get the feeling that had they been on the XBOX or PS2 they'd have been major sellers.

Problematique Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 I loved PoR...but I thought that maybe ther was a tiny bit lacking in the camp between characters. I'd like to see a more complex relationships system. Or maybe a return of incest. Haha. But it really is a masterpiece. Terrific game, thoroughly enjoyable.
