Fire fuccen Emblem

[hi19hi19]

tl;dr awesome strategic roleplaying game series that you should check out.

Noticed a few other people mentioning they are playing Fire Emblem games and I wanted to make a thread.
Just finished Path of Radiance and the plot twists blew my mind. Great story, definitely my favorite of the series so far. Doing Radiant Dawn now and it's also really good, I like that the choices you made in Path of Radiance have a small impact if you import the save file.

From the moment I saw him in Path of Radiance I swore that the Begnion Prime Minister Sephiran was plotting something evil. Now that I'm playing Radiant Dawn, I'm even more convinced. He's doing the whole like, evil guy walking around incognito pretending to be a nice person act, and then he answers everything super cryptic. You don't get away with doing that kind of shit and have a name that close to Sephiroth without being evil...

Blazing Sword, released in the west as just "Fire Emblem" for the GBA, is really great and easily emulatable if you don't have a GBA on hand. Probably most people's first introduction to the series (me included) and definitely has enough plot twists and interesting characters to hold your attention.
Sacred Stones is the second GBA title, it has a little bit more predictable of a plot and for me wound up being quite a bit easier than the other Fire Emblem titles, but it is also worth picking up.

There's also two games on the DS and one on the 3DS that I have yet to pick up, but I plan on playing them eventually too.
