Are they good? Worth playing? Worth paying for?

There's a damn good reason they fetch such a high price on the secondary market, and why Ike is sort of the "second-in-command" to Marth as far as repping the series in Smash Bros. goes.

Also the 2nd game is one of the harder ones in the FE series so it's a nice challenge.

PoR (the GC one) is my favorite FE. Now from what I've heard/little I played RD isn't nearly as good. But Path of Radiance is easily worth the money

PoR is outstanding. RD is merely "good" in story, but gameplay is second-best in the series.

People take issue with RD because the early game party isn't very good at all and it makes some of the maps kind of unfair and other issues that are kind of spoilery to talk about as far as how the story is told. I personally think PoR is better but RD has the best endgame of any FE ever imo. Also PoR is good for newbies as it makes it so units promote automatically into one certain class so you don't have to worry about re-classing or anything like that that the other installments do.

Path of Radiance is very solid from start to finish, but if you're an FE veteran you might find it too easy.

Radiant Dawn has some of the best gameplay in the series (probably was THE best before Conquest came out) but does some really weird things. Still very good.

RD's much better storywise too. PoR's story is basically the same as FE7 and FE8. Which I guess is no big deal if you haven't played those.

Dammit. I was hoping this wouldn't be the case and the decision to spend over 100 on a game would be made for me.

I wouldn't personally call them the best games in the series, but they're up there and definitely worthwhile for FE fans.

So aside from shoveling out a ton of cash, is there any good way to play these games? I assume there's been no digital re-release?

Only by doing as Mac said. Play it on Dolphin so you don't have to wait for Virtual console.

So what I'm getting from this topic is I should pull these off the shelf finally and play them. Glad I got them pretty cheap way back when ($20 for PoR at GameStop, $40 for RD at Walmart).

I think he means the general premise of "evil empire invades, you have to beat them up good"

Dolphin emulator works surprisingly well. PoR should play well on pretty much anything. RD's a bit more intensive, but it played pretty well on my good five years ago computer.

Most of the Fire Emblem games have pretty samey story progression.

That's not even the story of FE7 though.

Yep. And PoR is probably one of my all-time favorite games overall.

Haar and Boyd best characters btw.

Good, worth playing, worth paying normal price for. I believe they're both pretty expensive on the secondary market, so I'm not willing to give a blanket approval.

PoR is good, RD is amazing. If you liked other FE games you'll like these ones generally. Dunno that I'd recommend paying $100 for 'em though. (I mean, they're worth that much to me, but I'm a big FE fan and have played both many times.)
