Oh that's really loving cool -- the PS4 version is gorgeous but I had assumed the 3DS one would just be a bad low-res jaggy port of it; instead it also looks awesome just in a completely different way. Square makes some pretty bad, disappointing decisions sometimes, but when they're on their game, they're on it.

So I decided to pick Bravely Default back up after like a 6-month hiatus, and I finally got to That Part. Is there a point where the asterisk bosses' dialogue stops varying between iterations? I'm finally starting to tire of grinding and kinda just want to get the game over with, but I also enjoy seeing the little differences like the white mage and the monk playing dead then running off to gently caress after you leave.

Gameplay spoilers for rest of the game: Chapter 6 is almost the same as chapter 5 for most bosses, but the Valkyrie, Summoner and Ranger boss fights experience a significant change (they're not initially available, for one thing.) Be sure to go find Yulyana in Chapter 6 at some point, as it starts a sidequest for the last Job Asterisk (I assume you've gotten the Vampire Asterisk already.) Chapter 6 is also considered to be the 'standard' point to go get the Normal Ending. Continuing afterwards just drops you off back before the Point of No Return, so don't worry about saving yourself out of anything. Chapter 7 onwards seriously mixes things up, and I think you should experience it for yourself then.

In Eternia, there is a Gossipmonger who tells you about Braev, Kamiizumi, and Mahzer's history. Afterwards, talk to Mahzer in the hospital for more info about it. Then, release the Fire Crystal, then challenge Kamiizumi. I am unsure if you have to do the first two things in Chapter 5 and Chapter 6, so if you didn't, ya might miss out. Otherwise, it's as Pureauthor said. The final sidequest becomes available when you have released three crystals.

Finished Fire Emblem Awakening tonight (insofar as 30-some odd hours can be considered finishing this game). That was fantastic through and through. I had never played an FE game before. Which game had Ike in it?

ThisIsACoolGuy posted:Yeah, it's FE6/Sealed Sword. It's Not Very Good. Counter opinion: Fire Emblem: Binding Blade is a Pretty Good game, especially if Awakening is your first FE title. It's not perfect, but FE7 makes you play a lame tutorial and an entire campaign until you can start the real game (Eliwood Hard) so eh.

FE6 is not a bad game but it is an obvious prototype for FE7 and it's clear they haven't worked out all the kinks of handheld design, especially since they're coming off FE4 and FE5. Honestly if you're coming off of Awakening I would suggest FE8 (Sacred Stones), it's the closest in design to 13 and if you like it, go for 7 (Fire Emblem) or 9 (Path of Radiance) afterwards.

Just picked up my New 3DS a few days ago. Managed to find one of the Majora's Mask editions for a not totally insane price on eBay, the case is really loving gorgeous. One of the prettier systems I've ever owned for sure. I know not all games benefit from the extra power of the N3DS, but should load times be better at the very least across the board? Or is that dependent on the game as well?

Mostly because I'm not like a die hard Zelda fan and everything else I own is black.

African AIDS cum posted:They cost like 90 bucks each Path of Radiance is like $200 I'd go for FE7, which is just called Fire Emblem, since it's available on the Wii U eshop. FE8 (Sacred Stones) might be as well but I'm not sure. FE7 is also one of the best games in the series. Skip Shadow Dragon (the DS game).

FE6's map design is a bit bland but it's still better than Awakening's, and it's one of the best games in the series in terms of unit balance. Characters actually have like, flaws and poo poo. It's great.

Chapter 6 is fairly interesting with regards to asterisk banter, and chapter 7 has some really great development for them as well so I really rather like those two chapters overall. It's 5 that's boring padding and 8 where you should probably just beat the game first and then go and fight more asterisks if you feel like it.

Which game had Ike in it? Fire Emblem 1-5 - Never released in US Fire Emblem 6 - GBA game - stars Roy, never localized to the States, also not a very good game Fire Emblem 7 - GBA game - On Wii U VC as simply Fire Emblem. Really good game. It is a prequel to Fire Emblem 6. I think it's really great, and one of the main characters is Roy's Dad. Fire Emblem 8 - GBA Game - On Wii U VC as Fire Emblem: Sacred Stones. OK. Really easy, but if you want to steam roll through stuff enjoy it I guess Fire Emblem 9 - Gamecube game - Ike's first game - Good, but insanely expensive in NA Fire Emblem 10 - Wii game - Ike's second game - Good, not as good as 9, expensive but not as expensive in NA (I'm really hoping for this to be released on Wii games for Wii U) Fire Emblem 11: Shadow Dragon - DS game - Remake of old Fire Emblem starring Marth. Not Great. Fire Emblem 12 - DS Game also remake of old Fire Emblem starring Marth. Supposed to be really good, but never came to the states, I've never played it Fire Emblem 13 - Awakening. The game you played.

I think people poo poo on Sacred Stones too much, especially compared to 6. Its only real fault is that it's relatively short at first, but it has a branching path for about 10 chapters, so there's replay in new settings. Also has an actual post-game.

the branching path in fe8 only lasts 5 maps. That said the later maps do change slightly based on the route you're on. That said it's still a pretty boring game because none of the units are that interesting to use.
