HOLD THE FUCKING PHONES OMFG!
How did I not see this sooner?! That is amazing and maybe they wont region lock this one..... T.T

Thank you so much for posting!

And @above: Snipers can be pretty OP even without the legendary weapons or crossbows. The amazing ones just cant get hit and they always crit, so its like an invincible beserker that shoots from 2 spaces. But Rolf sucks imo.

So I played through FE6 for the first time this past week, my thoughts:

+ Show Spoiler +

- Story was really good, but then again all the FE stories are well written

- I initially thought I dl'ed the wrong rom because the opening scenes showed characters from FE7 lol

- I decided to do a blind play with no walkthrough. Recruiting people was kind of annoying because of this, I didn't know what characters to bring to certain levels. I had to restart a bunch of times. :S

- Not knowing the requirements for the gaiden stages I only got like 4 legendary weapons lol. Also I didn't know you need to get all the legendary weapons for the bonus stages and true ending, so bad end for me

I may do another playthrough just for that

- Didn't like how Roy gets promoted like only 3 levels before the last one, so he is forever stuck in mediocrity now

- They made Fa 's dragon form so ugly :x She looks like some deformed ostrich lol

- Chapter 21 was awesome

- Maybe its because I haven't played a FE game for a few years but I found the levels pretty challenging (never a bad thing)

- Zephiel is a badass. Seeing his attack animation for the first time when he owned Cecilia, I was like :O
+ Show Spoiler [best attack animation ever] +

- Roy's attack animation with the sword of seals was pretty cool too. The fire when you critical was a nice touch, but nowhere near Zephiel's awesomeness
+ Show Spoiler [Roy] +

- The RNG was decent enough to me that I really can't complain about it lol. All my guys ended up with around average stats for their class/level, except for Liillina and Miledy:
+ Show Spoiler +

She's pretty beast, I even gave her 2 sets of boots for +4 movement so I could run her in front and own everyone

Not as good but still impressive lol

- Overall it was pretty fun, it really made me want to play all the other games. I think I may do another playthough for the true end and then replay 7 so I can remember the backstory a bit better.

- Depending on how much motivation and effort I have at the time, I'm thinking of doing a battle-report style blog of my playthrough. Would anyone be interested in reading? (Probably not since everyone and their mother has played 7)

I'm bumping this thread to avoid making a new one, because I really want to talk about Fire Emblem.

My first Fire Emblem game was number seven, for the gameboy advance. I remember playing that thing for hours and being quite terrible at it (not surprising, since I was nine years old). Many, many Bothians died under my command.

Fast forward to two weeks ago to me in Play n' Trade buying a cheap DS (before I knew Awakening existed; curses!) and Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones. Side note: if anyone has a copy of the original Fire Emblem for Gameboy Advance, please PM me so I can buy it; I can't find it for any cheaper than like 50 bucks. I know I could just get an emulator and a ROM, but I'd rather have a physical copy since I can afford it.

Holy shit is this game all kinds of awesome. I've already beaten it on normal after taking Eirika's route, and now I'm on chapter 13 on hard difficulty (this time taking Ephraim's route). I must have 50 hours played on the damn thing just because of constant restarts due to characters dying.

Since I'm a Fire Emblem noob, I pretty much had Seth solo the entire game (not knowing he was a quintessential Jagen / Oifey archetype). This time, on hard difficulty, I'm taking a much more balanced, patient approach, waiting to promote my units until they're at least level 17ish; as a result...now Duesell and Franz are two-manning the game, and Seth is kind of like a slightly weaker third-wheel. Baby steps! For what it's worth, I have a handful of units (Lute, Giliam, Ephraim / Eirika, Gerik, Natasha, Cormag, Forde) all above level 12, so it's not quite as bad.

Worst map: Phantom Ship - FUCK this mission.
Best map: Eirika's version of Phantom Ship

Both of the above involve recruiting the same characters, and yet they're totally different. The reason why I like Eirika's version is because it was like a mini-dungeon crawl, had multiple paths, and was quite challenging if I recall correctly. However, Phantom Ship can go fuck itself. I think I restarted that map like 20 times before I finally gave up on recruiting the princess and her buddy (though he survived) and just focused on killing everything. I will say that it was quite imaginative game design, and I'd probably really enjoy it on normal difficulty. But, yeah...like 6-8 hours of my life gone to beating it.

Anyway, love this game and I hope to get a copy of the first GBA Fire Emblem, and probably Shadow Dragon at some point. ^.^
