Fire Emblem!
| I never got around to Geneology. The furthest back I've played the series was the GBA era.
Personally Fates is my favorite in the series. Specifically Conquest. I prefer my FE games challenging enough to make me think. I was recommended Thracia when I mentioned this, so I hope it gets a remake.

Thracia is a mess at times and amazing at others. If you liked conquest you'll probably love it but buckle up for some of the best/ worst maps in the series.
| *Obligatory 'play heroes bitches' comment*
| I recently started playing the first (that came to America), and so far it seems pretty good, though I've only finished the tutorial. I have also played a good amount of Echoes, which I enjoyed.
| >>419808 So you are playing 7. After that, you could play 6, which is a sequel to 7, and curse the game because Roy promotes way too late, characters (besides Roy) barely have any commentaries, etc. Seriously, thank whoever had the idea to cripple important units instead of killing them, it's hard to make a conversations if only the main characters is always alive.
| >>419810
Honestly, I'm not a fan of the crippling important units thing. I think everyone should be able to die. The ideal thing would be if they had different story outcomes according to who dies and who doesn't.
Like, if you build a strong relationship between two characters and one of them dies, the other one should get really fucking depressed, and different story events should be different according to who's alive and who aren't. That's a lot of work though.
| Hey g/u/rls this fandom looks fun! Even if a little intimidating with the legacy..
What game would you recommend to start with?
| >>419976
As much as I'm going to get shit on for saying this, I'd recommend starting with Awakening.
| >>419976
Awakening seems like a good game to start with. Either that or Echoes, though Echoes doesn't have the weapon triangle, and has a different magic system. If you don't want to buy one of those when you're not sure if you like it or not, you could always emulate one of the older ones.
| >>419976 If you want to start with older ones, either 7 or 8.
8 has a tower which you can visit between missions, and earn money and EXP.
As for 7, many things are easier to do (makes sense, being the first one reaching the west).
| >>420101 Oh yeah, some fans call FEs by numbers even though the titles don't have numbers.
Fire Emblem 8 is actually titled "Fire Emblem: The Sarcred Stones". Personally I hate the nicknaming scheme because I find it confusing and makes me take time to remember which is which.
| Most people seems to really like Awakening, but the core fans seem to think less of it?
I've only played the GBA Fire Emblems, but I just got a 3DS and wondering which FE to take.
| >>420549
I took some liberties in researching but apparently Awakening is more suitable for beginners (who prefer to play a newer game) because it impements some new core game mechanics
And also, huge thanks to yall
Started FE7 on emulator, looks fun
| >>420549
Awakening was a bit of a departure from what people were used to in the series.
For me it's mostly the artstyle I can't stand but I'm not fond of the avatar either.
I can tolerate Awakening and Fates but I do much prefer the older games.
| >>420549
While I haven't played Awakening, it seems to be very beginner friendly. Though I feel like Echoes is probably a better game over all.
| Genealogy of the Holy War, Thracia 776 and Blazing Blade are the best in the series imo
| The first fire emblem that I played was Awakening and it felt like a trashy JRPG. The little girl at the early game really take a liking at you wether you are a giant dude or small girl. The grid battle seems okay, but I can see the battle animation/scenes get annoying after a while. Seems like nothing of value if you are not instantly fall for the waifus/husbands.

| Right now I am playing Genealogy of the Holy War.
Sigurd can cross half country in a couple turns, which means that the countries are of the size of a peanut.
