Remember when this series was about interpersonal conflicts, political corruption...

Path of Radiance is one of the most milquetoast games I've ever played and Radiant Dawn is total garbage.

No I remember it being the worst tactical game ever made. Fire Emblem has never been good, Advance Wars died for this trash.

>characters that have their own agency and motivstions, and the philosophical question about whether a peaceful slavery or a violent freedom is best for the world?
you just described Three Houses.

Did for me, but I've actually had my dick in real pussy so a waifu just doesn't appeal to me

Anyone who thinks Geneology is bad in any capacity is a smooth brain.

Which cartoon do you beat off to?

why not both?

I am fine with the self inserts. I never got over getting cucked by Hector. My problem, is that jap protagonists as of late have a tendency to be whiny bitches and the character creators won't let me make my meaty Groose (zelda) lookalike. Still haven't mustered up the willpower to play through FE Fates.

Real pussy is overrated, I know from experience. I prefer waifus by far.

Telius only sold badly because there was zero marketing and for some ungodly reason they were limited run games. Advertising RD around Sothe and Miciah was suicide. The ONLY reason Fates and Awakening sold well were because of Nintendo Direct. The 3DS suffered from game drought and there was nothing to play. Telius certainly wasn't perfect, like every other FE generation but they take steaming shits on Awakening, Hoshido and Revelations.

Well yeah, they did. Avatarfagging killed the series. At the very least remove the dicksucking and make the characters have better motivations, but the characters in Awakening and Fates are bottom of the barrel. For all 3H did better, it still fucked up in that regard.

>That character design
>That deconstruction of the genre

This is where FE peaked. The world simply didn't deserve Fates. We hated it because we couldn't comprehend it.

>remember when this series was everything it wasn't
>now it's a flat self-insert
I played these two games last year, and I'm playing three houses now, and holy FUCK are you a wrong, contrarian faggot.

The writing in PoR and RD is atrocious. It's cringey, tropey, simplistic, predictable, and worst of all: incredibly bland. I eventually got to the point where I was skipping almost all the dialogue because it was so utterly disappointing.

Contrast that with 3H, which actually has interesting dialogue, comparatively rich and complex history and motivations, and an intriguing, considered world. Even most of the worst support conversations are still entertaining.

Nope because I always skipped the dialog. These games were always just anime chess, but when you lose a piece, you can't play it ever again.

BR is okay in an Awakening part deux sort of way, CQ is good, Rev is awful. Avoid them like the plague if you care about story, though.

Awakening was actually good; the game looked and felt amazing, the cast was great, and it modernised the whole series

Echoes is the best 3DS Fire Emblem game despite autists screeching about muh map variety

Tellius overall is overrated and the people who praise the story and writing have probably never read an actual book in their lives

Sacred Stones was hands down the best GBA Fire Emblem game

Fans exaggerate every mistake female characters do in the games while giving a free pass to dumb male MCs doing the exact same mistakes, and then rags on about how much worse the girls in the series are

Anyone complaining about """fujos""" ruining the fanbase has never met an actual fujoshi and uses the term as an umbrella excuse for simply being afraid of women who voice their opinions

All the games where you're allowed to pick your gender work better if you play as a girl (even FE7)

>zero marketing
no FE game had any marketing until awakening
next excuse?

>The ONLY reason Fates and Awakening sold well
was because they are both great games

>Avoid them like the plague if you care about story
There is nothing wrong with the story in Fates except for the localization/censorship on some aspects of the character writing

That’s the only accurate thing on there, everything else is rancid. Conquest is a B at best, Three Houses is nowhere near S and FE6 & 13 need to be in F

I remember when they were affordable games and hipsters were busy playing pokemon r/s on their gba sp to care about gamecube games that were all $#2.99-$24.99 at gamestop.

none, just pointing out that you described the plot of three houses to a tee. maybe you would have known had you played it.

>shadowdragon, thracia, FE6 bad
holy shit this is wrong. Shadow Dragon is one of the most fun I've had with the series. Thracia should at least be A, if you are putting FE4 in S, because in gameplay, FE4 is not that fun. and the story carries the game. FE5 has fun gameplay and mechanics.
>birthright A
no
>Awakening not C
>Tellius not in B
>Revelations not in the trash

Awakening gameplay was dogshit, SS was stale, Tellius world-building was better than the actual story itself. Who the fuck even cares about the writing in a Fire Emblem game anyway? It’s all legitimately the same shounen “beat the bad guy” garbage just told out with different looking characters. You either focus on the gameplay or gtfo

Well yeah, that is a completely legitimate reason. Marketting is what makes a game sell, alongside good word of mouth - which RD and SD didn't receive. The former becausecno one played it and it was rushed, though it was still a good game. SD was ugly as hell and also poorly marketed. There's not even a single character on the cover. Awakening was the first FE game to be pushed hard by Nintendo so it sold well. There are zero traits specific to Awakening or Fates themselves that make them particularly more prone to sell, as avatarfagging and waifushit are Inca ton of different anime games that sell poorly. No, they are not great games. They poorly balanced and have awful maps, stories and gameplay. Truly the infants first FE games. Conquest is the best game of nu-FE however, though the story and characters are still dogshit.

You're truly an example of ignoring what you don't want to hear. Awakening Babies and Fates Fags are truly cancer. There's a reason why Gaiden style gameplay was laughed at, even when FE8 did it.

This is not a bizarro Zig Forums thread.

Conquest is okay, and fates did do certain things correctly. Fates as a whole is still one of the worst entries.

FE5 actively cheats and deceives the player and has nonsensical hidden events to sell game guides
it's insulting

>Tellius almost killed Fire Emblem!
>Awakening didn't save Fire Emblem, marketing did!
Kill yourself.
