Despite the cold, heartless rigidity of grid and number-based combat, Fire Emblem has been able to connect to players through its many colorful characters and their interactions. More than any other game in the series, relationships and romance are truly at the heart of the recently released Awakening, making it the perfect "romantic" game for this Valentine's Day.
Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones' uniqueness is precisely what makes it one of the best RPGs on the Game Boy Advance.
Had this on 3ds thanks to the ambassador program. Was loving it right up till the point I lost my bag with the 3DS in on a train, and it was never returned. And the real kicker was that it never appeared on the e-shop for whatever reason heh.
There are a lot of animal-people in the Fire Emblem series! These are different races who transform into actual animals in battle, while occasionally maintaining some of these features while in their humanoid forms. Hearing about laguz or taguel can be confusing, especially since these races are not universal and may only be present in a few select entries.
I love what makes Fire Emblem the game it is. A deep strategy game that focuses on fully fleshed characters instead of faceless units with great RPG elements. I’m not here for the oversexualized characters, the relationship/waifu simulator. Just letting you know what I love and respect about the series so you know where my head is it before going into here. Let’s break this down ladies and gentlemen.
...Except it's really nice.
The extent of romance in FEA is basically, "You baked me a pie! It's awful/delicious! Marry me!"
This game was amazing. System seller for sure. The bonds you make are touching.
