Started playing Sacred Stones again, and will boot up Path of Radiance pretty soon.
I still have no idea who the Black Knight is, so I'll be finding out sometime soon hopefully.:ninja:
I also remember the cutscenes being gorgeous at the time. I was surprised I was playing the game on a Gamecube!
@Mr.:

I loved Sacred Stones for the fact that you could take breaks between chapters and max out your characters.
And the lamb lies down on Broadway
I loved Sacred Stones for the fact that you could take breaks between chapters and max out your characters.
I liked that bit too, although it made the game really easy. At least I didn't get stuck.
I was stuck on the first FE game for GBA for a long time, because I didn't really level up my characters evenly and I really didn't know what I was doing half the time (I was somewhat young), and I was stuck on a few chapters for days.
just finished the ruins in sacred stones. Fuck me there hard. There's no way i'm doing them another 2 times just for lyon. Now most of my main team is maxed out. All the lords, the recruits and natasha, colm and neimi. Knoll is the only one who isn't because of his god awful defence. I hope they do something like the tower/ruins in the new one. That would be awesome

I actually did get Lyon. Yes it's tedious, but if you max out your characters and just take your time it's really not that hard (at least I didn't think so).
-New classes, including a fucking axe and staff wielding Battle Cleric.
I dunno, on one hand, that sounds cool, on the other hand, most magic users have low strength, clerics/curates/priests/sisters/whateverthellhelltheycallthemthisedition especially, so I don't think it'll be that effective.
I think the problem with Shadow Dragon is that it FEELS like an old game. No supports was the biggest thing missing from it as it brought life to the characters, so other than Marth and the Princess who's name I forget, we didn't really care about anyone.
That and it was pretty bare-bones for a remake. Just like they added a new coat of paint, added the weapons/magic triangles, put back a few characters, and that was it.
Oh, and what whoever said Florina is one of the most useless FE characters is correct. Whose bright idea is to add her in the stages where the enemies are almost all Brigands are beyond me.
Florina becomes much more useful in the following chapters. She's your only flying unit available for quite a while.

Well in the past games, strength and magic were generally combined. Path of Radiance/Radiant Dawn had strength and magic as individual stats since we had some many characters with both magic and weapons (not just Mist, but sages who could use knives….even though that was a waste of time since staves > knives).
Either way, this could mean:
-Magic and strength has been combined into one stat again.
-They are separate, meaning the battle cleric will have weak stats in one or the other.
-Perhaps staves will only be able to heal set amounts that don't take attack/magic into effect, rending the stat pointless towards staff usage, and giving us optional battle characters who heal on other turns.

I agree. If you use Florina to pick off enemies from a distance (javalins are a must for ALL flying units), she'll level up along with everyone else. Then eventually, you can send her to take out mages and sword wielders easily.
I found Florina, Fiora, and Farina to each be very useful.
Vanessa, Tana, and Syrene on the other hand…...yeah.... Cormag was alright, but I preferred ground based units in Sacred Stones. Of course, I adore Marcia in PoR/RD, and Shiida is a powerhouse in Shadow Dragon.

And it looks like Strength and Magic are seperate. And it looks like she has 2 for Strength (Usually that's one of the first ones, right?).

Perhaps, but I usually end with Fiora or Heath more.
Falcon Knights/Pegasus Knights are a lot better once you get them the item that prevents them from getting hit from arrows. That's when Tana became especially useful in Sacred Stones.

The Fili Shield, right? I usually gave it to Cormag, though.
@S.C.:

The thing is that, my Cormag always has good enough defence and speed to survive arrows. And I just make Tana kill them before they could attack him again. (I always support the two)

You could be right there, actually. Hmm. Either way, this means she can still fend for herself to some extent, instead of use the staff as a weapon (which I always thought was the dumbest thing about Radiant Dawn).
Tana is amazing in sacred stones. Vanessa and syrene are alright. the thing about pegasus knights and shamans are that their 1st tier forms are crap but once the change class they become amazing

I think they'll probably give her something like a high critical rate to cover for that or something.
Okay, this is actually pretty huge! Remember Anna?
She was the reoccurring tutorial character who also made random appearances in the game. She's been in the series since game 1.
Well….she's back.
And there's more to her now.
I'll put the rest in a spoiler tag, but by no means is it massive plot spoilers. It is, however, a huge surprise as to how Anna has been able to be in all these games at once and how a certain game function is going to work in the game. This is speculation, but speculation that is highly backed up so far.
[hide]Anna is now more than just a tutorial lady. She now controls a massive gate that allows you to travel between dimensions. And not just any dimensions, but between the dimensions of past Fire Emblem games. So think about that for a second…
1. This explains how Anna has been in multiple worlds, at the same age, at different times.
2. This could explain how Marth is in this world.
3. This could be the plot explanation to DLC characters such as Innes or many others.
This is making this game kind of 'fan-servicy', but honestly, I prefer logic like this than the bizarre logic of Final Fantasy Dissidia.
......FIRE EMBLEM FIGHTING GAME! Make it happen, Nintendo!
More info on this speculation as well as other released info on this game can be found at Serenes Forest.[/hide]
i recognised her in the trailer straight away. I wonder if we'll have every class from all the games. We already have a laguz type class and i assume we'll get manaketes cause otherwise we won't be getting certain classes (like nephenee if they don't have a soldier class)
Also, I guuueesssss people might like this trailer.
…..Have I mentioned that I think this game looks gorgeous? I'm liking the cleric girl (main character's sister) and the pegasus girl shown. Also, awesome music.

There have been rumors so far of a soldier character (in the main story, not anyone like Nephenee yet), but they haven't been 100% confirmed so far.
So, when checking out new info, it seems the Pegasus Knight has a new alternate promotion called the Black Pegasus who uses Lances and Offensive Magic. Now, is there any info about this game's Magic Triangle? Is it like the GBA ones where it's Light, Anima and Dark or like Radiant Dawn where, it's Light, Anima broken up into Fire, Wind & Thunder and then Dark?
nothing confirmed but it's looking more likely to be the former
Probably, but that makes me curious if the Wyvern/Dragon Rider classes get one, how that will work.
Maybe you can choose the magic element. It's a bit hard to tell, since PoR magic triangle was far more important when it came to fighting Laguz.
A new video showing off various features. It appears you can change classes like in the DS one.
Also Doesn't this game come out like next week in Japan?
According to the video, it says 4/19/2012, so a few weeks away. For Japan, that is.
Don't know why I didn't say it earlier, but the graphics and art sure has changed. Not sure if I really like it though, a lot of the characters look more chibi compared to past Fire Emblems.
I want this game so much :D My first Fire Emblem game was the one all ambassadors got, and I loved it. This is a must buy for me. But I still need more money :/
This fire emblem in style reminds me of the latest advance wars game but less darker in tone
Wow. You can actually marry your units with each other. Have kids and then have your kids fight in battle. I have no clue how your kids will age so fast or how that works but that is a really cool feature

I shall have a whole army of Nephenee/Haar spawn.
Oh my god! This game will be one of my favorite games ever! LET THE ORGIES COMMENCE! We shall have a glorious army made of love!
For the love of god and all that is holdy, Nintendo USA, please please PLEASE bring this game over!
So, the identity of the bordering continent that seems to be the same one from Fire Emblem Gaiden has been revealed. Apparently, it is called Varm, and a single Empire rules all of it led by a guy named Valhart.
I'm still getting used to learning about the series, but this is the first time the story has overlapped with another continent, isn't it?

I don't ship much, but I ship the SHIT out of characters in Fire Emblem games. this is pretty much the best news ever, aside from a NA release confirmation.

We gon' be making babies!
BABIES EVERYWHERE!
I hope the children are born in the middle of chapters all decked out with weapons and stats.
"Sir!!! I strongly suggest ordering a retreat! The enemy!!! They keep coming!!"
"Where are they getting these reinforcements from?!"
"I don't know sir-"
At that moment, a woman's scream rang out from the enemy's side and a whole army of toddlers armed in SS-rank weapons descended upon the general and his army.

In all seriousness, I'm thinking timeskip. This could be a war that lasts over several decades.

They could always have sex during the battles.
Eliwood: "Crap! Pegasus knights! Wil! Rebecca! Take them out!"
Wil: "Oh…hang on! Oh....oh...."
Rebecca: "We got it! Just....give a second."
And that is the story of how Wolt came to be.

It could very well be time travel. Remember there's this dragon gate that allowed marth to enter krom's time. Who's to say his children won't come back in time to help the cause

And in the middle of all of this Rebecca still managed to critical two mages, a pegasi knight, and avoid damage from surrounding troops.
I miss Rebecca … such a great archer/sniper.
One of the best. I loved her and Wil, so I often used them both.

free DLC too. Which aint so bad.
Not for long.. only a month or so.
Day one DLC should always remain free IMO. It probably could've easily be added to the full game.
i was suspecting marth to actually be playable in the game, especially if the masked man is marth. Hmm… what does this mean?!?
All the classes video, gief lotz of Battle monks pls :P
Famitsu gave the game a 9

i was just thinking right. what if you pay for a dlc character only to have him die in a battle. Does this mean you've payed for something and then lost it due to incompetance or is it possible to reget that character at his/her original stats from his/her bonus mission

Personally, I will forever miss the GBA sprites.
