Cerise Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 I'm currently playing FE8, and I'm planning on playing the other GBA titles after I finish it. So which one should I play first? Would it make more sense to start with FE7, since it's the prequel? Or is it better to start with FE6, since it came out first? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jedi Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 I think FE7 might be the more comfortable route to go, seeing as its easier and a prequel, then you can jump into the harder FE6. I love FE6, but its not the easiest FE to get into. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadow Mir Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 Blazing Blade, since it's the prequel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Punished Dayni Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 Definitely Blazing Blade first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SullyMcGully Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 Blazing Sword. Not as much because it's a prequel, but because it's just a better game for someone who doesn't have a ton of experience with the GBA games. While Binding Blade is great, its gameplay can be off-putting unless you've played FE7 already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harvey Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 Obviously Blazing Blade for reasons that Binding Blade wishes to have fixed before hand. If you ask me personally, Blazing Blade should be the game that you should stick with and avoid Binding Blade. Don't get me wrong, its not a horrible game, its just plain notoriously difficult game almost on par with Conquest if I might add (however, unlike Binding Blade, Conquest has handholding options like phenoix mode). But to its credit, I think FE6, ost is way better than FE7's ost by a margin. But that's just about how FE6 is better than FE7 imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magical Glace Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 Play both, but play Blazing Blade first, because it's easier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tuvy Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 BLAZING BLADE BECAUSE ITS DA BEST Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hero of the Fire Emblems Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 Blazing Blade first then use the numbers patch by gringe and that should make the game a lot easier and on par with FE7's reduced localized difficulty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
De Geso Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 As someone who played Blazing Blade first, I wish I'd played FE6 first. There are things you do in FE7 that lead directly into FE6 and it's more fun imo to see events first and then find the cause - at least, that's how I feel.

When something is written as a prequel, it usually assumes you've experienced the original, first, and should be viewed/read/played in that order (original, then prequel). FE7 is a somewhat easier game, and it's definitely my favorite FE, but playing FE6 first would probably help you enjoy it all the more.

I'll try to keep it as spoilers-free as possible, but I'd say there are story benefits for either order. For example, Hector's scene in FE6 will mean much less if you don't know him from FE7. On the other hand, Zephiel's scenes from FE7 won't carry the same emotional punch if you don't know what sort of king he will become in the future. FE7 is definitely more beginner-friendly, though, but if you've already played some FE games, FE6 on normal mode shouldn't be that hard (but it certainly won't be easy either).

Weeping Dalek (MK) Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 Play FE7 before FE6, the jump from FE8>FE7>FE6 is much easier than the jump from FE8>FE6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
