I figured it would be better to just make a topic about general Fire Emblem discussion from Shadow Dragon to Heroes. Ill keep updating everyone on my progress of my first maddening run.

I've been hoping for years. But part of me is convinced they'll skip straight to a FE6 remake because Roy.

Do you think they are going to combine FE6 and FE7 remakes together or separate them?

It has not been part of IS's past history to combine remakes. I wouldn't count on it.

If they do remake the GBA games and they replace the sick as fuck battle animations with the garbage that was in Three Houses I will be sad.

I hope they remake them into a "two generations" combined game like Genealogy, so that you have the option to play through Blazing Blade (the prequel) first and the choices you make affect your playthrough of Binding Blade as well. Stuff like characters in Binding Blade whose parents were playable in Blazing Blade having different stats/weapons based on their parent's supports, or a way to have Hector *Binding Blade spoilers* survive his story-related death and become recruitable later in Binding Blade by meeting specific requirements with him in Blazing Blade.

I doubt that combined game would happen and sell for $60 though. The more realistic and profitable approach would be to release the Binding Blade remake individually for $60, then later release the Blazing Blade remake for $60 (plus offer a bundle with both of them for $100) and add the linked playthrough features I mentioned above as DLC for Binding Blade upon also purchasing Blazing Blade.

FE7 is a better game in just about every way. The best thing FE8 is that the freedom to fuck around with split classes, the Tower and the ruins, which is fun, but FE7 gives you better maps, is longer, is better paced, has better balance, and has a more satisfying difficulty.

Sacred Stones has the better raw gameplay (branching promotions and story paths, world map for exploration and optional grinding, skills in a limited sense, and a bunch of other features) but Blazing Blade has the better atmosphere (better/longer story with more side chapters, more unique missions, and a more interesting cast). I would very slightly give Sacred Stones the edge, but I totally understand why most people prefer Blazing Blade.

Also, I like cute dragon girls and Myrrh is cuter than Ninian so another point for Sacred Stones.

SS is really good, but it's also just strictly too easy. Even without grinding or anything, it's just a very easy game. I prefer FE7 because it has a pretty reasonable challenge with HHM.

On the subject of remakes, I'm hoping for FE6. I'm not sure if IS can get FE4 right in a remake since that game needs a ton of work, but FE6 has a good basis, it just needs a lot of smaller tweaks.

Sure you can it is called Paladin Amelia or even better benchwarmer Amelia.

My issue with FE8's extra features is that they add nothing. Almost every branched promotion has an objectively better option. Skirmishes are boring and have no difficulty. The Tower and Ruins are just a slog and only serve to make an already super easy game easier and waste time.

I'm having some issues with this map. I think it's because I'm moving too quickly and dealing with the ambush spawns when the happen. I need to move slowly and purposely trigger these respawns to my advantage.

I'm a little concerned currently. Gilbert triggered the Archers up top to attack him and kill him. This triggered like 12-15 enemies to come at me at once from the middle of the map. I have time to prepare but this can be a big issue. I do have Gambits but I can quickly get overwhelmed here. Especially with the Archers' poison damage

Oh, yeah.

That is annoying. If you get in an archer LoS and don't kill it, then they start an enemy cha-cha line of doom. My recommendation is to use skills like reposition and swap and what not to keep Gilbert and his shit movement from getting in Archer range to avoid him from engaging the archers.

Otherwise you are gonna put all your hope and faith in hitting a Blaze Gambit on a hoard of them

They'll definitely replace it but hopefully better than TH's.

If paladins don't magically run in place for 10 seconds before suddenly lunging forward with their lances and mercenaries/heroes don't yeet their swords 20 feet into the air before attacking, then I'm not buying it.

I feel like playing a Fire Emblem game soon, but I can't decide which one. Should I play Shadow Dragon (the translated re-release of the original on Switch, not the DS remake), Path Of Radiance, or a ROM hack of Blazing Blade that turns the tactician into a playable character like in Awakening?

I started my playthrough of that ROM hack I mentioned. Forgive the tiny pictures, VBA's screenshot function sucks.

The tactician joined in chapter 2 of Lyn's prologue (the battle where you get the Mani Katti) and is a mage with balanced stats who can use all three magic types. The in-game unit even takes the name you enter at the beginning of the game, but unfortunately, the sprite used is male even if you choose female at the beginning. Also, the tactician class doesn't have unique battle animations and just reuses the animations from the Shaman class.

Apart from this additional character, everything else seems to be identical to a normal FE7 game so far.

Update on my "playable tactician" ROM hack playthrough: I beat Lyn's story, and up to this point, nothing else was different besides the Tactician. I have absolutely no idea what his growths are (I could go into the files and check if I wanted to but I don't feel like it) but in seven level-ups, he managed to not gain a single point of Defense and only one point in Skill. Defense doesn't matter for a mage, but the low Skill could be an issue.

https://i.imgur.com/roW5lum.png

Then I started on Eliwood's story. At this point I thought the Tactician really was going to be the only thing different, and then this guy showed up.

https://i.imgur.com/RBz3qrL.png

https://i.imgur.com/G2Dds4y.png

Whoever made this ROM hack just completely replaced Bartre with Batta The Beast, the prologue jobber from Lyn's story, for no fucking reason at all. He's even the Brigand class (which is normally not playable in FE7) and his stats are actually pretty decent. Low HP for an axe user, but better Speed and Luck. He also came with two Ocean Seals, and I assume one of them is to promote him from Brigand to Berserker (the Brigand class shares that promotion with the Pirate class that's actually normally playable) but I don't know why he came with two of them.

So yeah. Funny meme jobber is now playable too, because fuck it why not?

VBA? I don't really use emulators but the one I remember using is mGBA

I actually play my stuff on a homebrewed PS Vita, using the Vita version of mGBA. But on the computer (for when i need to take screenshots, use gameshark/AR codes, or test out ROM hacks and save file edits) I use VBA.

I don't know if it's better, it's just what I'm used to after using it for so long. But like I said, these days I have my homebrewed Vita to play GBA games on, and I only use VBA for stuff like gameshark codes and testing ROM hacks.
