Prince Marth

Ah; I can understand the "mute character" complaint; it's something that definitely could've been added. I suppose I just have a soft spot for the game - I'm not entirely sure why, but I really like Marth, and the general story of the game (maybe I'm romanticizing it a bit in my mind?). That being said, I can understand why it might feel a bit lackluster, too (though again, with things like rescue, I imagine that chapters like Port Warren would be made infinitely easier with it). The game definitely is a rather simple in comparison to prior Fire Emblem games, though I think it still has a nice feel to it. Graphic design definitely is not the best, in my opinion, however; I don't really consider the dull graphics "fitting", especially when most other Fire Emblem games have had rather vibrant and colorful appearances. ...I still don't quite understand reclassing, however. It's definitely interesting to see and understand all of these perspectives, though!

Ah, alright; hopefully I won't have to deal with that, then. So I imagine it's far from an integral part of the game, then? If that's the case, I don't see why it'd warrant disliking the game so much.

Ah, so the gaiden chapters are hardly useful unless you get your units killed, then? Excluding the second one, in which you miss the items and whatnot.

Hm, well that's definitely not the best mechanic. Is there any real reason to do the gaiden chapters, though?

Ah. I was unaware of Gaiden chapters; I suppose I'm not too turned down from the game so far because I haven't really played many prior Fire Emblem games (before this, Blazing Sword, Sacred Stones, and Conquest are the only games I've played). Maybe more of the unlikable things will come up as I get further into the game; though the gameplay simplicity doesn't really bother me. I can kind of understand why rescue might not have been used (if you mean picking up units); you could really break some chapters with that (e.g. Port Warren). So, to my understanding, gaiden requirements mean that you have to have under 15 characters to access the gaiden?

Maybe I'm mistaken, but I've seen that a good number of people dislike this game; and I'm just curious as to why that is. Maybe it's because I'm only a few chapters into the game, but I'm rather enjoying it so far. If it's the graphics people dislike so much, I can't say I disagree entirely - the colors are rather dull, and the art style isn't too amazing, but that wouldn't be a make-or-break factor, presumably. So why is it that people dislike it as much as they do?

Welcome to the Forest, GodSety! It's very nice to meet you! I hope you enjoy your time here!

Welcome to the forum! I hope you enjoy your stay here!

I'm personally not too fond of the blatant fanservice; more than anything, what bothers me is that it's all terrible for battle. Most any character would be dead in moments wearing what they do.

EarthBound: Assuming you mean the Super Nintendo title (and not EarthBound Beginnings, the one released on the NES), it's a quirky RPG with a great soundtrack and a nice story. In regards to gameplay, I'd say it's not much different than any other RPG you might play; traditional turn-based battles, overworld movement, and so on. That being said, for story, humor, and music, it's worth checking out. A Link to the Past: Although A Link Between Worlds is a sequel, I think it's unnecessary to play in chronological order; you could enjoy A Link to the Past without having played A Link Between Worlds prior. Super Metroid/Metroid Prime: Excellent games! Other M is usually seen as the worst Metroid game (either that or tied with Metroid II as worst Metroid game), so if you kind of enjoyed that game, I'm sure you'd really enjoy Metroid Prime (which takes on a first-person shooter gameplay style, as compared to Super Metroid). Super Metroid is a very solid game, and is, to me, the epitome of what any other side-scrolling Metroid game should strive for. Its soundtrack is great, as is the gameplay; the game feels just right. There is a degree of challenge to it, however, but overall, I'd recommend the game if you enjoy platformers. Donkey Kong Country: It's been ages since I've played Donkey Kong Country Returns. However, from what I recall, the gameplay isn't that much different (the difference, I'd say, is about as drastic as the All-Stars version of Super Mario Bros. in comparison to New Super Mario Bros.). As for story, DKC doesn't have much of one - it's simply "King K. Rool stole Donkey Kong's banana hoard, and now you have to go and get it back". Nothing spectacular, but the game itself is very enjoyable, so it's no big deal. If your preference lies in RPGs, EarthBound would be my suggestion - but, the game doesn't necessarily contain a lot of action or collecting. The story is enjoyable in my opinion, and there is plenty of different locations in EarthBound (as to whether or not you'd consider it a lot of exploring or not, I'm not too sure). If you enjoy challenge, then I recommend Super Metroid. Donkey Kong Country isn't all too challenging (at least in comparison to the second game), so if you'd prefer a more leisurely platformer, I'd choose DKC over Super Metroid. Finally, A Link to the Past: it's a great Zelda entry, so if you've enjoyed other games in the Zelda series, this is definitely one I would recommend. Apologies for the lengthy post, but I hope it helps!

It looks scarily similar to Sticker Star. This concerns me.

Thanks for the very warm welcome, everybody! Just as I was expecting from this nice community! @Salterino: Indeed I have! I got Conquest, and am currently on Chapter 23. @Ycine: Any title is fine! Even just "Marth". And it's a surprise to me too! @XaosLogos: I'm afraid I don't, my apologies; and thank you very much! Just based on the replies in this thread, I already feel that many of the people here would make great friends! @SpacelessZarius: Welcome back? Was I here before? Nonetheless, thank you! And best of luck in obtaining the Amiibo! @Mangs: 10000G? Just for me? A warm welcome indeed! Though, there's no need for such a hefty sum of money! @Deviddo: Thank you for your welcome and congratulations! Personally, I prefer the OVA English voice, and above all the Japanese voice. But the current English voice is well enough!

It's been quite some time since I've been on a forum, but my interest in Fire Emblem has spiked lately, and I found this forum! I'm really looking forward to getting to know all of you, and making new friends over a mutual interest in the Fire Emblem series!
