Any Fire Emblem fans here?

Love the chess thinking mans type gameplay. No guns blazing give it thought and consideration. The newer games make it easier to level up than ever before but I plan on my replay to buy a bunch of DLC maps and tackle those + side quests so this play through will take me awhile. What are your thoughts on the series. Started with Fire Emblem GBA hooked every since.

I've never played it, but I played tactical and story-based RPGs in my youth. This looks like a game I'd enjoy.

I have only played Awakening, but I have enjoyed it immensely. My only was worry was that I was afraid that it would end too quickly so I have kind of not played it in a while (a bad habit), which is probably silly as I was making sure to do random fights and DLC to pair off all the characters I could and then training and almost paired up the second group.

I'm one! I've played quite a few of them. One of the reasons it's one of my favorite Nintendo franchises is because of how it actually has plot! I love it for the game play as well. You should really try the rest of them. (Also the story for the 4th one is my favorites, and I believe it's one of the darkest Nintendo plots out there.)

Fire Emblem: Blazing Sword (simply released as "Fire Emblem" outside of Japan) is one of my favorite RPGs ever, though I've never beaten it, nor have I really played any of the other games in the series. I'm kind of torn because I want to finish it before I try the other games, yet at the same time I almost never finish any of the RPGs I play anyway, as they tend to be really long and I tend to get stuck on them.

Anyway, has anyone ever noticed how similar Fluttershy from MLP: FiM is to Florina from FE7? I mean, Fluttershy is a pegasus, and Florina is a pegasus knight, and they both have similar personalities, mannerisms, and even hairstyles. Their names even start with the first two letters? Coincidence? I think not. Someone behind MLP: FiM was clearly a Fire Emblem fan.

I'm a HUGE Fire Emblem fan! I own every game localized to the US except Rekka No Ken/Blazing Sword ( the one released simply as Fire Emblem outside Japan )...though I've only beaten Path of Radiance out of the ones I own ( I've also beaten Rekka no Ken & Gaiden via emulators years ago ).

Heck, I was super excited when I unlocked Marth in Melee as I had seen the anime based on the original game. I was probably one of the few people who knew who he was before Smash Bros!

I've played a bit of one of them because of the cross over game, Shin Megami Tensei x Fire Emblem. I love the SMT series and figured I'd enjoy the upcoming Wii U game more if I'd played at least some Fire Emblem. The problem with games like Fire Emblem, is that I really enjoy them for a very short amount of time. I remember buying Advance Wars way back when it first came out, I loved it and it was pretty much all I played for about a week, then I never wanted to play it again. Same with Final Fantasy Tactics Advanced.
I really hope the combat is like SMT games, preferably the main series, not the spin-offs like Persona (not that I don't like the Persona games)
