#47 - Fire Emblem (GBA, 2003)


I had a weird first impression of this game. I honestly only got it because of Marth and Roy in SSBM. I brought it home and played through Lyns story in 2 days and fell in love with it. Then I started Ephraims story and everything went downhill. I never once looked online to see how Fire Emblem games work for the most part. So when they give me a super OP team member in Marcus, why would I ever think Im not supposed to use him?!

So yeah, about 20 chapters in, I was completely screwed. It was literally impossible for me to do enough damage to the boss in the level and my save game was softlocked. I was really disappointed, because I was so into the story, and Id have to restart Ephraims story from the very beginning if I wanted to see it to the end. I gave the game a little break, and then by chance over the next few months, I came across the word Jagen online, and then everything began to make sense.

I started over, put Marcus on the backlines, and stormed through the entire game in a week or two. Fire Emblem: The Blazing Blade has a really gripping story with solid tactics gameplay, and if youve got those two things, you dont really need anything else to be a very good game.
