Fire Emblem DS

[TequilaClock]

All right making a thread already as the release date is coming closer and closer.

I inmediatly fell in love with the series on the GBA debut in 2002. Amazing sprite animations, beautiful armors, catchy characters, cool weapons, impressive music quality and a very good atmosphere. Since the 3D versions appeared in 2005 they werent so much eye catchy as before but still great none the less.

ANYWAY MOVING TO THE MAIN TOPIC

The scans of the remake of the very first saga, *ahem* Marth's saga, coming for DS appeared last year and as you can see below hell yeah.

Some graphic improvement on the maps, the statuscan be seen on the top screen, so far so good also the sprites look a bit more detailed.








However there are some details that are beginning to worry me...

First, there is some... oh god... timer?!



You have to rush your fucking strategies under a timer!? Hell I hope not, it may add more challenge but it would only frustrate me more.

Another one is a reason why I loved the series at first...

The battle sprites.

Look at this.



They got some black outline but asides they completely blurred out their faces for "high definition", every thing but the fighters look incredible so far, lets compare it with a GBA battle



Yeah that's what I am talking about, the characters fit more with he scene, their details are much more notable and you can even see their eyes. I really hope they do not make them look like crash dummies in the DS.

However this still can't be proven it will look lame unless I see a sneak video soon, all I can say is I really can't wait for this release.

Releasing in Japan in August 7th.

PS: Oh, I almost forgot, this one is confirmed for Wi-Fi connection. Hell. Yes.

I've heard this is a strategy game, is it like a Medieval Advance Wars?

I'll make it simple, it is Advance Wars with infatry, cavaliers and fantastic creatures and every unit has a backstory and personality.

So basically Medieval Advance Wars _poogle_

Also I've heard if you lose certain units they're lost forever?

Like there's no factories to create units?

Well unless they cloning technology you could replaceyour soldiers. Yes once you lose units in battle they die like DIE. One of the challenges is to clear the game without losing any unit.

That's why it has a more emotional attachment since is not like "oh oops, slave troop #434 died, oh well" is more like "NOOOOO GARCIA! YOU MUST SAVE YOUR VILLAGE! YOU CANT DIE NOW!!"

[Marlin Clock]

Am I to assume there's some sort of healing agent in the game then?

Yes. Potions, forts and healing units like clerics and priests.

I love games that have me work with limited resources(which is why I like the pre-deployed AW battles the best), so this sounds fun.

Its a whole puzzle since you have to take your risks carefully taking care for the units' level, health, resistance and class. One example is you have one unit with low health so you got to move your healer near him/her to recover, however in most cases healers can't defend so they are easy targets. Is one of many classic issues you can get while playing.

If you have never tried them, I highly suggest you to find the GBA cart of the one simply called "Fire Emblem" its in my opinion the best so far in the series. Not so hard to find in the used games shelf in GamStop/EBGames

I thought this game was going to be the same thing.
Also I've tried. It's impossible to find in my area.

Here is a video so you get an idea how the game is, of course it has been accelerated like 15% but you can check the strategies and animations.

"NOOOOO GARCIA! YOU MUST SAVE YOUR VILLAGE! YOU CANT DIE NOW!!"

This is why I save almost every other turn. This game pulls you in by the neck, and you don't leave until your mom does the same. Well, thats the way it was for Wii. But ever boss battle was almost pointless since at the end of the boss, all the items you paid good money for went to waste when you realized that they don't matter anymore when you have to get attached to the new set of heroes during Parts 2 and 3. Actually, I got emotionally attached to the Part 1. Part 2 was a drag (but guy who rode black dragon was pimp.) and I never got past like... Part 3's first mission with the piss ass tigers and their impatient ways.

Sounds much more complex than AW, but sounds good.

ITT: Tequila convinces Marlin to get into Fire Emblem.

Looks awesome, wonder what the WiFi will be like.

Well I was interested in it beforehand, I just wanted to know a bit more.

That's What I love from the Serie, they are in War, they don't blame themselves and put all the place on fire, one thing I can't get is that always, inclusive the legendary weapons (Except Ike's Cheap damage dealer Master Sword), have to broke, man even spell books do that.

I am really waiting for this, I am hooked Since I did my first turn as roy on the Sword of Seals.

And yeah it's pretty sad Saw your Unit's doing their last words with a whole Scene

[TequilaClock]

I think what he means is that your weapons break after a lot of use, including spell books and also you get to see the last words of your units before dying.

Also...Pegasus Knight's are assholes
