Electric-Gecko Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 Hello. I am a fairly recent fan of Fire Emblem, having only played FE Heroes and FE Awakening. I am in my early 20's and living in Vancouver, BC, Canada. Until recently, I only knew there was a franchise called "Fire Emblem", but only because I was into Super Smash Bros Brawl in late Elementary school. I knew that Marth and Ike were from it, but didn't know what the games were about. I have only played a rather small number of RPG's throughout my life (although I'm not a particularly heavy gamer). I played an RPG on PC called Fate when I was about 9, and the last two Spectrobes games for DS & Wii (action RPG's) at 11-12. I never got my hands on a Pokémon game back then, but about 3 years ago, as my younger brother got into Pokémon, I started playing Pokémon Ruby on an emulator after a long time of never playing RPGs. On the strategy side the closest game I have played to Fire Emblem (before FE Heroes) is chess. When Fire Emblem Heroes came out, I was curious because Fire Emblem is a Nintendo franchise that I had no experience with. I was into it for awhile. But eventually, I was sick of the Gacha system and decided it was time to get a true Fire Emblem game. I got Awakening, and it was more different from Heroes than I expected. But I liked it once I got the hang of it, though it's by no means a perfect game. I have completed the game on Normal difficulty, and now I have 3 save files for Hard difficulty. My 3rd save was an Iron-man run, until my unit count went too low. My 4th is a planned run, where I have planned all marriages, and who is allowed to die when. FE Heroes feels more shallow after playing Awakening, but there are some aspects that I like about Heroes. Namely, the Skills in Heroes are more strategy-oriented, and it's more chess-like overall. I would like to make my own FE-based tactical RPG sometime, but I will need to develop my programming skills first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevinskyHaaz Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 Welcome E-G! Glad to see you are learning more about the franchise and getting involved with it and the community here. You should continue to play the games. ALL of them are great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad to see I’m not the only one introduced to the series through Brawl. There must be others. I know that Melee made many non-Japanese gamers aware of it. But the Wii was my first home console (although I had played Melee at friends houses before), and Brawl was the first Smash Bros I owned. But FE Heroes was my true introduction to the series. Since Brawl, I knew that there was some game series out there with the name "Fire Emblem", but didn't know what it was like until I tried Heroes many years later.
