FE5 was a nightmare. I remember those levels with over 9000 ballista/catapult things. You're basically sitting there hoping they all miss. I really, really liked the stealing system in that game, though.
Anyway, I can't wait for the fan translation patch to be done for the second DS remake. Shame Nintendo isn't bringing it to the U.S -_-;;
Also, did anyone else actually really love Radiant Dawn? For some reason it wasn't so well received in reviews, but I honestly think it was one of the best FEs. Battle animations were superb, story was great, and all-in-all it was an awesome sequel. The Greil Mercenaries were hilariously OP in it, though.
i was very excited for radiant dawn and i absolutely loved it

On a completely unrelated note, Wil or Rath in FE7?
for a while it was Wil but I'm sort of feeling Rath
Rath IMO. More mobile, can use swords upon promotion.
Think i used Rebecca in that game(archer wise) + snipers are broken as fuck, i did like using Sue in FE6(only Nomad i really liked) even though by most people standards she was bad.
Unless you're talking the first part of the game in which case, use whoever you plan on using later in Eliwood/Gectors game

Are you kidding me? Snipers are terrible lol. Rath is better simply because he eventually gets swords, which makes him marginally better than other archers.

The reason people say snipers are good is because they are excellent bait with their usually high speed and luck stats. Then they have a crazy crit rate with 100% accuracy most of them time. It is a personal preference. I think I may have been RNG screwed earlier on though because my Wil is awful. And yes I'm talking Lyn's story

Saying that "Snipers are broken as fuck" is alot different from saying "I like snipers". I can go into it in loldetail if you want me to, but I can give a pretty strong argument that lack of a range 1 attack makes the class pretty terrible. If you just meant that you like snipers, thats fine, I just think its crazy to say that the class is actually a good class, or even close to broken.

too bad she completely sucks in the beginning though I thought the general understanding was Hector was the best FE Character? Or was that mostly just the GBA comparisons? well Hector is a little debatable, but I don't think it is Mist. I think she may be the best hearler, but i might not even got that far. lol what criteria are you guys even using to compare these characters? The only site i saw with a comparison escapes me, but it was mostly taken an average of like 25 or something play through s and comparing the final stats between each character of every class, and using that to determine who was the best of that particular class.
she has not the best stats but she is incredibly flexible. healing+magic swords = winning combo

I believe you're talking about GoldieX39 average stat's special over on Youtube.
The thing is this, she hacked the game to give Mist the magic swords, i.e. the swords that runs off Mist's magic stat, which I probably agree is how it should have been.
However, the ingame mechanic, at least in FE10 is that Mist's attack does damage according to her strength stat, which is unfortunately very low in comparison, even if you BEXP her, her strength cap is around 25, which makes the problem of Mist damaging her enemies, especially in the later stages a problem. Although she is a healer on a horse which increases mobility though.
EDIT: I am an idiot, if you train up Mist's sword rank up, it's possible to give her a sword that helps boosts her attack stat to a point she can do a fair bit of damage in the endgame.

^ she also of course has Florete, and you can buy another one later, maybe even more than one, but still, I agree, she doesn't do much damage in 10. I think she may have been nerfed from 9, that I am not sure because I could never keep her alive. She is useless until she is a Valkyrie
|
She was a whole let more damaging in FE9 than FE10, but even in FE9, she wasn't a Kieran/Jill/Ike.

FE8 Sacred Stones is one of my all time favorite games. I played that so much. Only complaint about FE is that your stat gains are randomized when you level so it's not possible to get the best possible characters without many many playthroughs.
|
No choice for Sigurd on Lord poll? That guy is so boss. No love for Celice either =(
Edit: FE4 was definitely my favorite. Being able to pair up different characters and then having their children attain god-mode status = too fun.

I played FE7 on the GBA and I liked it a lot. Which one would you guys recommend to play next? I tried the first few chapters of FE8 and it was a bit slow, but so was FE7 and I liked it a lot. I can't read Japanese so I'd appreciate it if you guys could link some translated versions of roms to me 
|
As for emulators......No$gba is a BADASS! DS emulator that actually works with most games....Fire emblem works fine on it.....best place to get is on Pirate bay.....I got that and a GBA emulator plus a rom pack with like 150 games!
BTW: get version 2.6a thats the one that has save states and all the features and benefits you associate with a good emulator.

Installing translation patches are pretty easy. All of them all involve just putting in the patch file with the rom file, and it'll all work automatically. Google is also your friend because I'm feeling too lazy to search for them, but maybe someone else will help you out if you're feeling too lazy as well

Oh thanks I didn't know it was that easy :D I'm lost on which game to play though... I'm going to try out Shadow Dragon although I'm not sure if it'll work on an emulator
I'd love to try to Gamecube one but I'm not sure if I can run it at full speed

FE6 has complete english patch. FE7 is a prequel to 6, and Roy is the main character. If you already played the other GBA FE games, you should feel right at home with it. FE4 is also mostly translated, other than like some epilogue stuff when I played it. I think FE5 has a translation patch too, but IDK how much is translated.

I love snipers because of their slick GBA animation, but they're generally a bad class as they can't counter and need a lot of attention to keep up in exp. Usually whenever I start romhacking I throw in a 1-2 range bow and give snipers crit boosts to compensate (then cry when I realise I put enemy snipers in before chapter 10 and they me to reset a couple times).
Personal favourite class is Warrior, but I'd say Wyvern Lords, Berserkers, Heroes and Generals are the best. Paladins too, but mine always get RNG screwed outside of FE9/10. But that's just personal experience, and shouldn't count.

You know what a really fun class is? The Bishops from FE8. When so many of the battles were against monsters you couldn't be beat.
That was actually my favorite thing about FE8 I think. The ability to choose which class. I really miss that to be honest. I put a lot of thought into those decisions. I think the hardest one was Joshua to Assassin or Swordmaster

I always went Swordmaster. The gains were better, in my opinion and he has a really good chance of getting past the strength cap that Assassins have. Plus, in terms of passive abilities, +15% crit rate is better in my opinion since it works 100% of the time whereas Silencer is half as good as your crit rate.
But the class change system is awesome. That's my favorite part of 11 and 12.
