I’ve been on and off lurking these forums for years and finally decided to actually make an account. I’m a long-time FE fan, but also one who has only played like, half of the games. I’m a sucker for the GBA games (especially FE7, my first game and the one which I’ve probably played a dozen times) and recently decided to start working on an FE7 rework patch as my first FEBuilder project, so that’s kinda why I’m here lol.
Anyway, aside from Fire Emblem, I play a lot of Arknights, Terraria, and Roblox (yeah. I know.). Every once in a while I watch anime/read manga, but my main hobby outside of gaming is hosting and participating in text-based TTRPGs on Discord; I’ve always loved writing and game making but was never really dedicated enough to become a “real” writer or developer so I just kinda started making shit up with my friends
Dunno how active I’ll be around here, but I do hope I can learn a lot from my current romhack project, it’d be real cool to turn some of my original ideas into hacks one day
For those curious, the FE games I’ve played and how I feel about them:
FE1 - It’s So Ass…
FE2 - This close to being fun but It’s So Ass…
FE3 - Haven’t finished it yet, but it’s aight
FE7 - Peak FE content, fight me
FE8 - Too short but otherwise peak
Awakening - Never finished it despite starting playthroughs like six times. I do not know why.
Fates (Birthright only) - Imma be real its been like a decade I dont know anymore
Echoes - Pretty damn good
3H - Character writing? Fire. VW+AM? Fire. Everything else? Kill it with fire.
Engage - I like the story. Sue me.
Heroes - Played it at launch. Never looked back.
3h had the makings of a great “The church is evil” plot w/ themes of needing to move on from the past but the writers went “durrrr romans of da tree kingdumbs” and screwed it up.
I kinda prefer to play FE games purely vanilla the first time around, to get the proper experience. And it’s not like I hated Awakening either, I just repeatedly find myself drifting away from it after a while
I mean, clearly hating an FE game isn’t enough to stop me from beating it, since I beat FE1.
…Wait. No. I didn’t beat FE1. Because the game bugged and locked me out of my convoy where my Falchion was stored so I couldn’t kill the final boss without rigging a bunch of repeated Devil Sword crits which I was too lazy to do.
Oh probably. To be honest 99% of the reason I didn’t enjoy the NES games was because of how archaic it all was. The SNES games seem fine from what little I’ve played of FE3
