If you use Gameshark you can set male characters to be wed to male characters and likewise female characters to female characters. This however has some seriously odd effects in the second half such as Celes starting as a Red Enemy unit and the game hanging when he gets into a battle with someone.

How about Ilyana and Mia? If I remember correctly, Illyana ate Mia's shoes (tried to), after all... Quote:

Geneology of the Holy War feels a lot like a different creature compared to other FE games. Well, not as much as FE2 Gaiden, but that was the only game that had such incredibly long and huge chapters along with infinitely repairable items as well as multiple castles on a map (unless 1 and 3 had them too. I never played those two). What made me really like FE4 was probably the 2nd generation skills system. Its a great thing to try to mix and match and just have alot of fun with. I forget who was it that you pair with Lex (Axe Knight), but it resulted in a mage child with both Wrath and Ambush. The child didn't have have a good mag growth as a result but it was still fun playing around with various combinations. I think pairing your two swordmasters in the first generation gave you a son that had both Lunar Sword and Meteor Sword (Astra) as well, which is AWESOME.
All in all though, I still like FE10 better. Ike is a far better lord than Celice (better than Sigurd as well despite the fact that the latter is pretty awesome in his own right). The story line simply feels much better as well. Lastly, as awesome as the divine weapons were, they basically turned into pure and utter win buttons except for the final boss. I'm looking at you Holsety, you and your +20 spd. (I'm not saying they made the game too easy. Anyone that tried to recruit Hannibal knows that was one giant nightmare of a scenario). FE10 is really lacking in the Support Convo department though... On the topic of Thracia 776, alot of it is really...weird. For example, iirc, Leaf is presented as 15 in the game, but for the game to take place at 776, Leaf could only be 13 (correct me if I'm mistaken). That and the fact that the stats all cap at 20 feels really weird to anyone playing the game right after FE4. (Again, Holsety with +20 spd) |

Well lets not go that far XD. I think Persona 3's VAs were pretty good (Ken Amada and Fuuka aside). Fire Emblem gives very few lines as well so its not exactly a big priority. The narrator was decent imo.

These games don't get enough love. Fire Emblem is one of my favourite series of all time.
The characters are so wonderful and loveable! I agree with the fact that subtitles would work best, though. Just a random question. I've been seeing a lot of pictures that involve Ike and meat. Is there something I've missed? |

Ah, I know. XD I was just wondering if there was any significance with the meat. I might have missed something in the game, or there's some sort of meme that I don't know of. *shrug*
Stupid question. Sorry~ |

Also theres no mistake regarding ages there, hes 14 at the start of the game, 15 for bulk of FE5 and 16 when he meets Celice than 17 by the end events of FE5. You probably forgot to take into account of the year he was born making you think he was 13. Main problem with Seisen no Keifu is the bulk of the juicy story isn't in game (entire backgrounds and histories and bloodlines for the families) and was only elaborated in the accompanying artbook for the game.

Seisen No Keifu can be pretty hard to (although nowhere near the level of Thracia 776) in some of it's bosses like Alvis and the gauntlet that is the epilogue. If I had to rank them in terms of balance towards easy and hard I would go like this. Thracia 776 (Horribly unbalanced against player) Seisen No Keifu (Slightly unbalanced against player) Monshou No Nazo (Balanced) Fuuin No Tsurugi (Most Balanced) Rekka No Ken (Slightly unbalanced in favour of player) Path of Radiance (Unbalanced against computer) Goddess of Dawn (Very unbalanced against computer) Sacred Stones (Horribly unbalanced against computer) |

Take it from me, I've beaten that game legitimately with an S rank before. Once you take advantage of every last bonus it offers, the incredibly powerful staves and support options. You can get through quite safely, theres at least several ways to beat each chapter. In all fairness thats what I enjoy most about Thracia 776, most chapters are memorable because you have to think quite abit and the CPU sometimes shows genuine signs of good play. I can't even remember half the chapters in FE8/9/10 because they just had so many throwaway missions and lack of variety. Almost all the time I could rush in gung ho and finish a mission without really doing anything. I actually agree on Fuuin no Tsurugi being most balanced. Despite the fact its the most basic of the recent games it somehow manages to hit a fine balance between difficult and playable. You rarely ever see maxed stats on anything in that game. Also interesting fact about Thracia 776, if you try cheating by upping your stats too high. The game actually resets them to zero.

The infamous Cyas chapter is also quite memorable. For me it wasn't so much the dreaded leadership bonus, but if you were a first timer your instinct was to rush those soldiers on the bridge. Little did you know if you did, they'd run away and collapse the bridges on you. Another nice example of the finer touches in that game.

Sounds pretty hard.
Luckily, because you can mod/hack the games, it is possible to make a challenging (or impossible) Sacred Stones. I find with the most recent games, you mainly makes some small/stupid error and end up losing a healer or dancer/bard/heron, or other weaker character. That's really the only thing making them that challenging. But I don't mind terribly, because it still is enjoyable (for me at least). |

FE5 had an interesting capturing system where your units could get captured but you could rescue them back in a late game chapter. Actually one common tactic I use in Thracia 776 was if one of my units was almost dead I'd just have them surrender and get captured. It keeps them alive. Although later games kept the rescue ability they completely omitted the capture system.
