Vaximillian Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 Hard question number two is here! (I hope I didn't screw up the translation) Which of the following is an area-of-effect skill in Heroes? Bonfire Glimmer Draconic Aura Rising Flame Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bethany81707 Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 These are actually interesting difficulty methods. Really encourages playerbase information sharing, because good luck F2P players hoping to have a chance of seeing these skills enough to be able to identify them by name.

VincentASM Posted March 24, 2017 Author Share Posted March 24, 2017 (edited) I think this one isn't too bad, but it's harder since few players here play in Japanese or know the Japanese skill names. I knew it wasn't 2 or 3, but I couldn't tell which of 1 or 4 was Rising/Blazing/Growing Flame. In the end I went with my gut feeling.

I copied the Japanese names and searched for them on the Wikia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm taking your word on the order of answers. The last one also has the kanji I know means fire from playing Pokemon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bonfire Glimmer Draconic Aura Rising Flame Making me realize just how much more awesome the skill names are in Japanese than in English (no doubt due to character limits because most English words aren't typically one character long). Scarlet Flame Star of Misfortune (i.e. a comet or meteor) Draconic Rend (which is why tear marks appear across the screen) Destructive Fire ("break" as in rocks or waves) Also, I can confirm you have the skills' correct names.

Vaximillian Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 (edited) Hard question number three is here! When was the first entry in the Fire Emblem series, Shadow Dragon and the Blade of Light released on the NES? July 15th, 1983 February 21st, 1986 April 20th, 1990 March 14th, 1992 Edited March 25, 2017 by Vaximillian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bethany81707 Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 Ooh, that one's a tester. Think I actually flubbed it... (It didn't occur to me that Fire Emblem was late in the NES era, too.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XhenD Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 April 20th, 1990 according to this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Othin Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 Huh, I always figured it was an earlier year. Had to look it up to make sure, but knowing the anniversary was enough to go on, since that's been relevant a few times recently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being a 1990 title means Gaiden has to come out after the SFC, and for some reason, I didn't think Fire Emblem would do that. Apparently, Thracia wasn't on my mind.

Now that you mention it, that's happened a lot. Both FE2 and FE5 were released after the following home console, FE8's worldwide release was after the DS (its Japanese release was shortly before it), and now we're about to get FE15 after the Switch has been released. Even FE4 was released only about a month before the N64. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anacybele Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 I do like that name "Star of Misfortune" but I like "Glimmer" too because it reminds me of Starlight Glimmer in My Little Pony. lol She turned out to be a pretty fascinating character. But anyway, pretty sure that answer is Rising Flame. I don't have a Twitter, so I can't answer the questions, but hopefully the right answers are always picked the most often! I really want those feathers and orbs. :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Sadly, I don't think FE12 is close enough to the 3DS to replace it as an example. Maybe it's theoretical worldwide release might've followed in FE8's footsteps...)

I think he's counting the Gaiden remake, since we count the remakes of FE1/3 as 11/12. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah, right... the Switch potentially succeeding the 3DS is not a thought that occurs to me regularly. But mentioning FE12 in the same thought should've jogged my memory, yes.

Seafarer Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 Since I've been playing FE1 recently, the copyright year is burned into my memory. So, yeah. Easy question. :-p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maybe Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 oh yeah for anyone who isn't aware, the last answer is actually gaiden's release date i thought the others would probably all be fire emblem release dates but they're all before the actual answer i guess they didn't want to make it too hard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've always judged the NES's launch by the '85 title Super Mario Bros. Hm. I didn't have any luck either. Maybe the launch of Zelda or something?

Maybe it's just they're both fantasy games about pantsless swordsmen defeating a beast ravaging their kingdom that started a franchise that still exists today. It's probably also the reason I voted for '86. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
