As a proud Fire Emblem fan, i feel compelled to begin a topic to celebrate one of Nintendo's greatest ideas.
Where to begin...Ah! i know! Lets talk Shadow Dragon! this one is a remake of the very first Fire emblem game, and was released for the nintendo DS. i myself, am addicted to this game to a dangerous extend. my faveorite level is Port Warren because i get my seconed faveorite character, Radd, in that map as well as a good shopping area, and an arena to abuse as i see fit. all in all, its just fun to play and unmistakeably well rounded.
ok, your turn: What is YOUR faveorite game, level, character etc; well use this as a starting point for the thread untill someone undoutably goes off into a tangent about details, and we continue from there untill i get bored.
well? dont just stare at the wall of text! get typing!

I AM looking rather beautiful today.
I'll say this. Shadow Dragon sucked.
Now let's talk about every other Fire Emblem that ISN'T Shadow Dragon. Because that was just horrible.
I wish they would release a new Fire Emblem game.

I really liked Sacred Stones for GBA. Though, I can't talk since it was e only one Ive ever played. Still love that game to pieces though.

Shadow Dragon wasn't bad; it was dated. It's a remake of a really old game, and pretty true to its heritage. Is it my favorite? Heck no, but I think people don't realize that it's not supposed to be a modern game.
My favorite is probably PoR, but 7-9 were all extremely high quality. I loved all three. In fact, the series completely ruined most SRPGs for me.
Favorite units for each game:
FE: Rebecca (such an awesome sniper. Dodges EVERYTHING)
FESS : Amelia (ridiculous growths, and she actually starts out good. I love Marissa though)
PoR: Ilyana (she's supposed to be mediocre. I've beaten the game twice. Both times, she was my MVP. I seem to be lucky with her. Special mention to Nephenee as well)

well, i disagree with you when saying that Shadow Dragon sucks, but ill go ahead and let that slide.
anyway, they are makeing a new game, sort of. its a remake of the direct sequel to Shadow Dragon; and features something completely new: My Unit: A Unit who YOU decide nearly everything about, hair, age, class, gender, even backstory from what i hear. i cant wait untill they release it; though i cant help but be bummed out about how you can only have a Female Myrmidon... Guess im goin Pirate!

Ummm... That's already out...


In Japan. It's not crossing the Pacific sadly.
Next FE is an original 3DS game.

... that game ISN'T coming to US? Aw, I had forgotten about that one only to be told that I won't be getting it. Oh well, I AM looking forward to the new 3DS game, I remember seeing a bit of a teaser for that one among a bunch of other announced 3DS titles (Which I forget where they came from, but I digress!).

Admittedly, I haven't played any FE games other than Shadow Dragon (Which I got tired of very quickly), Path of Radiance (Could only rent and play for so long, but it was good while it lasted), and Radiant Dawn (Which I actually own and have enjoyed, except it's gotten a little hard for me around the start of Part 4). Although at times I DO think that permadeath makes the games too hard, if only because I refuse to let anyone die, it also helps me get attatched to my units, which ironically is WHY I don't want them to permadie. I'm kinda hoping that the new FE has an Easy Mode to remove permadeath like I heard the FE3 remake did.

Yeah, I couldn't play SD, too many old methods in the tactical play I couldn't get around. Primarily that ONLY your leader could enter buildings.
I never beat FE, too much of a perfectionist. FE:SS is a great place to start in the series, the difficulty is absurdly easier, since you can grind for levels, and has a great overall plot to boot. FE:PoR was great fun, but I never got around to finishing it :/. FE:RD... I think i'm sitting on Act 3 or 4... It's been great fun, so far. If only I ever get the time to sit down and finish the dumb game orz.

On Permadeath: This is where a LOT of your strategy stems from, so I don't want to see it go. Or if you Can recover units, it's going to cost you something serious.
