Game: Complete!

Apr 14, 2008 02:29

I DID IT!!! Wow, what a phenomenal game. This has been one of the most satisfying Fire Emblem games I have ever played, and easily my pick for best game on the Wii. Having played from start to end, I'm almost 100% convinced that the reviewers at Gamespot, 1up, and wherever else just didn't bother to play through the whole game. Terrible story ( Read more... )

Nice~

Swords might be good, yeah. It's pretty short and not especially brutal unless you do optional stuff. It might be a tad rough on your arm if you try to play through it quickly (instead of spreading it out a bit) though.

And because it's late and my mind apparently couldn't retain everything I'd wanted to respond to:

Most sites (and magazines) don't require reviewers to finish games. RPGs in particular typically get the short end of the stick there. That's part of why I decided to write for RPGamer and later stick to that for RandomNPC.

Also, awww, Astrid and Nephenee ;_;

Nephenee I agree with. She rocks, but Astrid? Really? Shinon wipes the floor with EVERYONE once he gets his SS bow. (but technically it could go to any archer, but Shinon is the easiest to get to 20/20/20) Attack range of 1-3? Best. Unit. In. Fire Emblem. Ever.

What a crazy list of top ten. Ilyana at 5th?! Micaiah at 2nd?! Insane. My list was dominated by Edward (a GOD himself when he promotes to third Tier), Jill, and Haar. Those three alone could wipe out anything the game threw at them.

So really, why DID you use Ilyana? Or Micaiah for that matter? I found her next to useless, but I leveled her with a cheap trick of my own devising. (Put Micaiah on healing bush, and sacrifice. She'll regain two HP. Sacrifice. Do this until level 20.

I'll admit Ike is a force to be reckoned with, but using him means that others don't get experience. I gave him JUST enough to level cap, and then let everyone else do the work.

Also, it's a pain in the butt, but it's so worth it to level a Heron. Takes an hour to get them to level 40, but then they don't die if you screw up and let them get hit once AND you can refresh people to do double damage.

It was an interesting play. Astrid was absolutely amazing for me- she had as much attack power in the end as Ike did, except with much higher skill and enough Resistance/Defense to stand up to most enemies. It was highly unfortunate that she got in the way of Deghinsea's special skill, which activated at the wrong time ( ... )
