Fire Emblem Series!

You get to pick what MUs growths(maybe bases?) for two stats.

You pick a stat they're weak and one they're strong at. You also can pick their birth month/day, so I imagine that'll have some other effects.


I'll go for Strong in magic, weak in luck lD -gets all the 1% crits-

So, I just bought my first FE game, Shadow Dragon, and I'm about halfway through it, and I'm curious as too why it seems so...disliked? I'm enjoying it so far.
Also, if somebody would catch me up on some of the FE13 info so far, including if it's being localized in North America, I would apriciate it. Thanks!

Shadow Dragon was also my first Fire Emblem game, and I thought it was pretty good when I was playing it, too. Then I played Sword of Seals, Path of Radiance, and Radiant Dawn, which make Shadow Dragon look like crap in comparison. It just lacks many features that were series staples at the time, and it also has ridiculous requirements for the gaiden chapters, the ones with the X at the end.

FE13 hasn't been confirmed for North America, but considering it's getting a European release, I think it's quite likely we'll get a chance to play it. Any more info you want about the game, just look at the last few pages of this thread.

Da faq.

The Marth DLC chapter just got stupidly epic XD

Levin and Ardan! And only Marth is recruited .3.

;_;

...Waaait. Arden has been confirmed for spotpass. Everyone else plz ;_;
 

So many new spot pass characters. I hope Serenes updates with a list.

[gustavo 14]

Shadow Dragon is a great game if you don't play any other games, but as stated, the previous games surpass it in many regards. After PoR and RD, it's not a surprise Shadow Dragon is seen as a disappointment. I'll admit, the multiple hard modes give the game some much needed challenge, especially compared to its normal mode.

I'll go for Strong in magic, weak in luck lD -gets all the 1% crits-

That sounds like what I'll go for, actually.

Now that I've found a chance to learn more about FE4, I know who Arden and Levin are.
Arden is a spotpass character, though? But, there has to be other characters that are more worth putting in, right? Well, since there are more spotpass characters, I won't complain.

[lindsy95]

Serenes has a list of current FE4 spotpass characters. Don't worry, Arden isn't the only one

    Spoiler:- spotpass:

The confirmed ones are: http://serenesforest.net/fe13/spotpass.html
Sigurd
Arden
Cuan
Ethlin
Ira
Diadora
Jamka
Lachesis
Levin
Alvis
 

There better be a way to get Tyrfring, Gaeblog, Falaflame and Holsety >.>
Looks like we still have yet to get anything from gen 2.
These guys better be in the EU/US release...

Shadow dragon isn't a bad game, it's just a bad Fire Emblem.

The characters who can wield the weapons come with them if they're recruited. I'm more disappointed that they're not making custom classes for the characters so they have the same weapon. Arden isn't going to be the same without Swords.

[lindsy95]

Serenes says they don't retain their equipment.

Botom of the page that I just linked two posts ago.

There are no main story spoilers(none of the surprise characters or anything), but, of course, there are spoilers for the DlC itself

[gustavo 14]

That's interesting, but the last thing I want to see is the characters from the earlier games not being in the later releases. I wonder which characters we'll get from the other games in the series.

I'm hoping for Lyon.

They both fit a fairly similar Archetype, it can happen! pleas...

I also want Julius. Lopt tome FTW.

[sceptile33]

Roy and Leaf got redesigned for this game. I'm quite happy that I'll be able to play as Roy.

[Clamps]

Roy and Leaf confirmed for DLC by Iwata in Nintendo Direct. Really hoping Leaf keeps his Master Lord class, and Roy is just fine considering he's not going to be a late promoter anymore. I just hope their recruiting missions aren't as easily misinterpret-able as Marth's was.

Ya. I like Leafs art, looks like the FE8 artist?


EDIT: XDDDD So much Ninja.

Now. All NoA has to do is say a few words and... It's not happening...yet(?) I'll get over it

[Clamps]

It's the guy who did the art for RD.

Roy looks amazing. He looks like a completely different person. Then again, so does Marth.

Leaf is cool too, but isn't asking for his Master Lord a bit much? I mean, being able to use anything but dark magic seem insanely OP...not like I'm opposed to that notion or anything.

[lindsy95]

It's the guy who did the art for RD.

It really doesn't look like it. I know the guy who did Marth was from the same guy who RD.

Yeah, its not the guy who did RD. Leaf does have the FE8 artist, while Roy got the guy who did art for The Last Story.


So....

About obtaining FE4s holy weapons, it seems that...

The dark warlords from FE4 have some of them. They show up in chapter 22

So, I just found out who the final boss is. While I predicted this, I did not expect them to actually do it.

BEWARE MAJOR SPOILER AHEAD.
http://serenesforest.net/fe13/post/gimle.jpg

I do wonder what mode they're on. Those stats are really high. (all maxed, 99 HP, the rest of their stats are either 40, 45 or 50)

I'm feeling really tempted to click that link, but I won't. If the last boss isn't obvious, I don't want to find out yet. But with stats in the high 40's, I'd hope those are higher difficulty stats.

[lindsy95]

Exact stats are:
Str:50
Mag:40
Skill:50
Speed:45
Luck:45
Def:50
Res:50

It also has great shield. With 50 skill that is a 50% chance of GS activation. It has five skills total, but I only recognize GS.
If this is normal modes final boss, then dear god.

It's probably hard mode, though.

Roy looks so cool with the new look. Slicked his hair back and everything. Roy's our boy!
If this game happens to get localized in the US, I'd literally buy it for Roy DLC alone. Even then, I find the rest of the cast introduced so far interesting, but Roy's announcement (and the original Marth DLC) decorated the cake.

I've yet to play a Fire Emblem game >.> I regret passing up on the gba game when I had the chance. Bought Megaman Battle Network, which, although the fighting is great, the story isn't. At least I have
