Fire Emblem

I've never played a Fire Emblem game. Should I start with 3 Houses or should I look into an older game?

They are all pretty independent of one another, I started with 3 houses and loved it.

3 houses or awakening would be a good starting point

Start with Fire Emblem 7 - it's just called "Fire Emblem" on Game Boy Advance. Play it on an emulator and try to not over abuse save states.

Start with 7 since it has a painfully long unskippable tutorial that you'll despise if you play it after the other games and generally does the best job introducing you to the basic mechanics. Pretty much any game is a good starting point though, outside of the one or two entries that are more traditional "sequels" to previous ones.

Yes. This is a great entry point to the series. Play all 4 routes of the game to get the full experience.

If you like the game, I implore you to check out the previous installments. While they may lack some QoL changes, they are still amazing games that deserve a chance.

You have to play from the beginning.

I WANT TO COOM INSIDE OF BYLETH SO FUCKING BADLY

Are there any games to avoid at all costs?

frog looking bitch

Fates is a controversial title with a horrid story, but it has its fans. Echoes is the black sheep of the franchise and has dungeon crawling, but its presentation is spectacular. I loved it.

You're going to hear every single game listed if you ask that, FE fans are absolutely autistic about which titles are best and exaggerate their least liked ones as irredeemable trash. The only entry you should downright ignore is FE2 (Gaiden) because it got a stupidly faithful remake in the form of Shadows of Valentia, which is essentially the same game but with godlike presentation and music.
I think the only entry that's almost unanimously considered bad is the "Revelation" route of Fates.

for blind picks you can pick "themed" for old FE, probaly pick FE7 is called firem emblem for gba, for midle point you have awakening, this is the "mix bag of all" have the old/new of all FE in the future like bonds/pairs/childrens/waifu etc.. game play is simple and not brain ded story, 3h is total diferent abit similar to ike games for be 3d, it take step back to basic in combat but add more "LN/anime plot" that dont make it bad is just diferent, or you can say fuck off to all and play ike games wich is kinda similar to 3h but not much to experiment kinda linear

Any title before 6 (arguably 7) if you're brand new as the jank can put people off entirely from the series.

Fates before Awakening since Fates is *slightly* improved gameplay of Awakening with quite possibly the worst plot and character writing of any major game release this century.

Just start with 3H if you can, it's the best game and 100% newbie friendly.

avoid original marth games and FE 2 (gaiden), play the remakes of this games. fates is recomended after u play awakening and see if you like it or no, general ppl dont like the story of that game just gameplay.

>Awakening with quite possibly the worst plot and character writing of any major game release this century.
Someone hasn’t played Sonic Lost World

Also, I’d argue that Fates has a worse plot with the entire world revolving around Corrin. Awakening’s plot was just relatively shallow, but not with many plot holes.

E thanks for the tips. Gonna start with 3 Houses

Throw a dart at a board with the names of all the games on it, whatever it hits you must play. Afterwards, you must shill that one game all the way to your grave and shitpost about all the others

Yes, Three Houses

Start with Awakening. Three Houses brought in the shittiest parts of the fanbase like

I'm pretty sure what he meant to say was "Fates has better gameplay than Awakening, but also has quite possibly the worst plot and character writing of any major game release this century."
Still wrong, of course, memes aside there are far worse game narratives than fates.

Start with classics. Sacred Stones on the GBA is an excellent entry-level FE game. If you truly enjoy it, then you'll have a fucking blast with Awakening, Fates, 3Houses, etc and you'll notice just how much the series evolved.

>smash bros brought in the shittiest parts of the fanbase

Ah, that makes more sense

Let's all agree that objectively, FeMCs of very FE where you can play as either a male or female (Corrin, Robin, Byleth) are always the cutest and best designed girls.

Let's face it Byleth has the best female design of this game.

>evolved
cute way of saying that it turned into a dating sim

I find Three Houses' fanbase to be insufferable so I would say go FE7, Path of Radiance or Awakening.

A lot of people are probably gonna say Shadow Dragon, the very first titles or Fates but know that Fates doesn't deserve all the shit it gets ; Conquest is the best fucking FE I've ever played in terms of challenge, map designs and soundtrack. Story IS retarded, tho.

Why would you like a bland cardboard when there's literally every other women?

Say whatever you want about the interactions between characters, but whenever one of my units wanted to have a chat with another party member in FE7, SS or PoR? Most interesting parts of the games, IMO. i'm glad they focused more and more on those over the years.

I meant design wise.
I mean, it isn't even a question.

I think the best girls in BR and Conquest is Hinoka, and in 3H I have no opinion yet.

You are asking why someone has shit taste on Zig Forums?

Byleth design is too messy to even call a design. The only saving grace of Byleth is her big boobs and being Bi. Also

Well since most of the games take place on an isolated map the impact of the various wars can only be felt through the characters
