I’m happy we get a switch release of Fire Emblem (7) on Nintendo switch online. It was my first Fire Emblem i have every played and not sure, maybe the game i played the most (or it is sacred stones). I just took this game out of the gaming section in my video games store, a completly random pic, just thought it looks good. At home i couldn’t stop playing it. I have a lot nostalgia for this game and i wasn’t aware at that point that is was the first Fire Emblem outside of japan. So how did you get into the series and which was your first game?
I still have carts of Blazing Blade and Sacred Stones from back in the day and I primarily play those games on those carts with my old DS Lite. I have copies of all the Western released games in the series except the Tellius games because I don’t own a GameCube or Wii and the going prices for those games are ridonkulous anyway. Among those, the only ones I haven’t at least tried yet are the Fates games. Currently working my way through Echoes and its very different gameplay compared to the rest of the series.
I have the carts as well, but my DS is not working anymore. It’s just convinient to see a switch online release but i could emulate it as well.
Like many, FE7 was my first. I think we saw it in a magazine or something and picked it up. I was instantly obsessed. It was fun to look back and see how my opinions and playstyle have changed from then to now.
I’m sure my playstyle has changed a lot. I wasn’t that good in Fire Emblem at that time.
I never played Hector hard mode back then. To be fair, it was kind of a pain to unlock. I thought Marcus was the WORST, and I cleared the game with a 20/20 Dorcas
I don’t know anymore what you have to do to unlock Hector hard mode. I almost never use the strong unit in a fire emblem at the start, here Markus. I think that makes it boring and Marcus isn’t good anyways, he is no Seth.
