You're better off not doing that tbh. Absolute garbage game if you care at all about actual gameplay. Just admire Celica's hotness from afar.

Waaaaaay worse. Fates isn't even bad gameplay wise outside of Revelation which is mostly because the maps are shit. Birthright is just a better Awakening and Conquest has some of the best gameplay in the series. Fates gets shit on for its characters and story (which still aren't any good in Echoes either lmao)

Do not listen to him. He speaks the words of the devil.

Echoes is one of the better remakes. It keeps some of the mechanics from Gaiden which might throw off Awakening babies, but it's it makes up for it with additional QoL improvements and expands on the barebones story of the original into something genuinely entertaining.

Probably because it's a remake of the second-ever FE game and--despite its QoL improvements--still carries a lot of the baggage that the original game had.

Personally, I enjoyed it, and chose to buy it over Fates once I started getting an income again. Plus, some of it's features got implemented into later games (free-roam areas, the Turn wheel feature, fully-voiced dialogue).

I haven't touched it since beating it on release because it sucks so I'm sure I'll forget a ton of stuff, but off the top of my head
  • No weapon triangle
  • Alm's maps are all boring wide open fields with cavalry enemy spam
  • Celica's maps are all swamps that greatly limit your movement
  • There's a new annoying asshole enemy called a Cantor that is usually hiding behind a million other enemies every single map that does nothing but spawn a million more annoying enemies every turn until you kill them
  • There's another stupid ass enemy called a Witch that can warp from any place on the map right next to any of your units to nuke them because everyone in this game has 0 Res
  • Archers are absolutely fucking broken and can attack from like 5 spaces away. Goes for both you and the enemies ofc
  • Extremely tedious dungeon crawling which feels cool for the first 5 mins until you realize you just do the same exact fight every time you run into an enemy
  • Enemies spawn on the map constantly like in Sacred Stones which makes you again have to fight the exact same layout of enemies any time you wanna go to a shop or something
The game has good presentation with its visuals, music and voice acting, but the gameplay is an actual chore and the only FE I had to force myself to finish and didn't even bother with the post game because of how unbelievably painful it was to play.

All of that sounds like a you problem. Echoes is fucking awesome and way better than garbage Fates.

Echoes is worth playing just for Leon, love that beautiful sassy man. Final boss theme is absolutely baller. I liked how it emphasized player phase over enemy phase. Gonna go against the grain here and say that I actually liked the map design, made it properly feel like two powerful armies were duking it out. Felt kind of refreshingly direct in its own way.

Echoes is fine. There are a lot of ways to cheese it if you just don't want to deal with the maps. I do agree they might've been too faithful to the original game with the gameplay. But it has a rewind feature if you mess up.

Gaiden having the worst maps in the franchise is the general consensus and Echoes is very faithful to it for better or for worse. Echoes has much better writing, dialogue, worldbuilding and overall presentation than Fates but the gameplay is on opposite ends with Fates. This isn't him, this is the popular opinion, although finding it a painful chore is a bit much.

Notice how it's one guy against some kind of a crusade against Echoes

No Weapon Triangle: yes, the mechanic that historically always resulted in lances being by far the best weapon type

Alm map being open with cav enemies: who cares? There are forest tiles that you essentially have to plant your army at, positioned in a way where you have the advantage when they charge at you, not the other way around like with Fates or Engage where most of the time you have to be the one to dive into the danger, and you hope that your army just has enough stats to deal with it. See how one is not particularly strategically better than the other? They just require different things and yet you're here pointing it out like it's a bad thing.

Swamp: Yes, they're annoying. But Echoes don't really have long chs, and there aren't more than 2 main maps that are swamps or at least ones that cause lengthy periods of 0 combat

Cantor: You can either use warp or have high str killer bow users as bows have insane range. There are Cantors that are well protected. But it's just one more type of obstacles that the game should throw at you. Annoying? Sometimes, but I don't see it being a negative, because it's doing what SRPGs should do, which is not to just make it a glorified turn based RPG. It puts obstacles on the board for you to deal with.

Wtiches: There was a vid analyzing Witch AI. The conclusion was that they have really bad stats, and it's statistically very low chance of losing a unit unless you hung your completely untrained unit in the back. They only target outer layer units and will actually never target a unit if another friendly unit is in front of them, and they also always teleport to the back of your army. If you're not gonna use that unit, you might as well just bench them, unless you like doing 1 dmg. Also them teleporting bh you and only attacking the outer layer is an observation I even made b4 people looked into it.

Archers: Yeah both side have this, and they do get penalty for aiming further. Also they're a great way to deal with canters. I don't see this as a negative either and you didn't really type it as a negative

Dungeons: I'm mixed on it too, but I think it's a different take that gets really interesting later on in the optional dungeons. Also you can run from a lot of it. Also I'm a fan of the commentary Alm/Celica gives mid exploration

Enemies on the map: Except for a few that are intended for the player to go through, you can actually retreat and avoid all of these battles I believe.

Post game was also one of the best post game content an FE has had, so it's a shame you'll never experience it. It's when the dungeon battles get really nail biting, especially since you start to run out of charges. The final fight is a bit of a pushover, but the context of the fight is more important as it connects to another FE game.

I feel like you were stretching for some of these points as honestly a lot of them aren't negatives. They're just like... SRPG mechanics. If you had nothing in your way, it's just a turn based RPG. It's basically what Awakening would be, where there's basically nothing stopping you at one point and Nosferatu and good enough stats just let you put a guy in the middle of the map and solo it. Instead of that, why would you not prefer a game that actually makes you use formation, park units at the right time, spread them out so the right units can reach the right enemies?

FE has plenty of games where you just send out a juggernaut and win. It's technically possible to solo the game with Alm and Celica, but it's an incredibly inefficient strat that takes a billion turns, makes you miss out on a ton of items, and also relies on a lot of RNG. Also post game is nearly impossible solo.

He just seems to have an affinity for open maps. He praises Awakening and Genealogy's maps too when they're notoriously criticized among the community while he shits on Conquest "chokepoint" maps despite those being lauded.

This is the only place on the internet where Ive seen people go to bat for Echoes this much. Its not just you. Like all corners of the internet consider it to have awful gameplay. Some guys here just like to be the contrarian so much they dont realize how goofy they look.

Echoes maps are flat out bad. They were already bad back in Gaiden, like a notable step back from FE1, and Echoes was too faithful in remaking them. The other gameplay changes are more personal preference, but the maps being shit is borderline objective. That said, I it's presentation is top notch. So I say it's still worth a try.

Path of Radiance is honestly so easy that you won't really miss not having Turnwheels. The most dated piece of it is its combat presentation, which leaves a lot to be desired. The biggest issue is it's painfully slow. Even with animations turned off things just take forever. It's also pretty ugly and the battle screen doesn't present combat data like the rest of the series. Thankfully, if you are playing on your official Nintendo PC, you can speed all that up. That said, Tellius has probably the best overall world building of the series, one of the few stories in the series I consider good, straightforward gameplay, and the Base Camp feature is so so so much better than My Castle, the Monastery or Somniel. Absolutely worth playing.
