So, outside of our beloved FE series, what games are your favorites?

My favorite non-FE game is The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword. <3

That game is just AMAZING. The most amazing Zelda ever! I'd never been so addicted to a game from this series since the first time I played Ocarina of Time (which I don't like so much anymore, actually). I love the story, the characters, there's a good balance between the amount of main story content and sidequests, the dungeons are all totally awesome (I can't choose a favorite!), the bosses were fun to fight, and Ghirahim is my favorite villain in the series after Vaati. He seemed creepy to me at first, but I grew to like him a lot, and this is saying something. I usually get turned off by feminine-looking guys like him. I also love the Wiimote controls where you swing it in the same fashion as Link swings his sword. It feels so awesome, like I really am using a sword!

My other favorite series are Smash Bros. and Mario. I can't really choose between the three, though I know I like them all better than Pokemon. :D

The World Ends With You (TWEWY) is awesome.

Other games I like include the Ace Attorney series, Scribblenauts, Super Smash Brothers, and Mario series. I would put Xenoblade Chronicles on the list, but I only got the chance to play the first hour or so of it.

Paper Mario series, The Legend of Zelda (mainly Majora's Mask and The Wind Waker), Pokemon, and the Phoenix Wright series. I love the first two series of games more than FE.

Huh, Fire Emblem is actually my favorite series, without a doubt. xP

[Jedi]

Favorite game series of mine that isn't Fire Emblem [which is Number 2] is Sonic the Hedgehog, I have so many fond memories playing the games when I was younger and playing the newer ones of today, other various series I would rank in my top favs would be Castlevania, Megaman X, the Tales Of series, Final Fantasy, Pokemon, Ogre Battle, Paper Mario [and regular] and oh so many more.

The Suikoden series, no contest. Largely forgotten/unknown, but with a vast, expansive lore that puts most other RPG series to shame. While most RPG series take place in separate worlds (Tales, Final Fantasy), or they have blocks where a couple of games are in the same world and some aren't (Atelier, Fire Emblem), the main Suikoden series from 1 through 5 are all in the same world, though focusing on different regions (the Elder Scrolls series follows a similar format). It's got a ton of unique gameplay elements, such as collecting 108 characters, building up a home base, and several styles of combat (traditional party-based, one-on-one duels, army battles). Story-wise, it's sort of like Fire Emblem, although the plot is usually more mature and complex than standard FE fare. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to sample an excellent RPG, but good luck finding any of the games legitimately (the best of them, Suikoden 2, is not on the PSN, and goes for around $70-$100 for a copy. Luckily, it is a PS1 game, and you know what that means...)

And oh, Tierkreis doesn't count.

Tales Of series. Hands down. I play them way too much (especially Symphonia.)

FE is actually a close second.

My other favorites are Zelda, TWEWY, and Kingdom Hearts I want KH3 dammit.

I enjoy playing Super Smash Bros for N64 with my roommates. I've also been playing Romance of the Three Kingdoms on PS2 and Pokemon TCG for Gameboy Color.

[GoldenEmblem7]

My favorite Games outside of FE: (NOT IN ORDER OF PREFERENCE)

1) Okamiden.

2) Golden Sun 1 and 3 (Long story on why I have not got 2 yet...)

3) Pokemon White, Platinum, Diamond, Ruby and Soulsilver.

4) Ace Attorney series.

5) Dragon Quest 6 and 9.

6) Professor Layton series (The 6th one will be Layton's last adventure, apparently)

7) Heroes of Ruin.


Yeah, No Mario or Zelda- coz I am NOT a keen fan of either series, but I prefer Mario to Zelda.

[Roosterofdoom]

In order:

Favorite series':
Fire Emblem
Metal Gear Solid
Zelda
Phoenix Wright

Favorite games:
Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater
Shadow of the Colossus
Path of Radiance
Wind Waker
Persona 3

[Helios]

Pokemon is the only series I enjoy more than FE. The Uncharted Series comes in third, Smash Bros comes in fourth, and Madden/NBA 2K/MLB The Show/NCAA Football come in fifth.

[Peppy]

Some of my favorite Series outside of FE:
- Metal Gear Series
- F-Zero Series
- Tales of Symphonia (Haven't played the others yet)
- Legend of Zelda Series
- Mario Series
- Smash Bros Series

[The Big Kazam]

Shin Megami Tensei

Although only the main games, DDS, and Devil Summoner.

Also, Etrian Odyssey because yes.


Why didn't I read the title better?

Then again everyone knows of my Vehement Rage towards FE so it isn't exactly hard to have a series I like more than it.

Then again video games have a knack of being completely terrible lately.
