I’m happy we get a switch release of Fire Emblem (7) on Nintendo switch online. It was my first Fire Emblem i have every played and not sure, maybe the game i played the most (or it is sacred stones). I just took this game out of the gaming section in my video games store, a completly random pic, just thought it looks good. At home i couldn’t stop playing it. I have a lot nostalgia for this game and i wasn’t aware at that point that is was the first Fire Emblem outside of japan. So how did you get into the series and which was your first game?

    Like many, FE7 was my first. I think we saw it in a magazine or something and picked it up. I was instantly obsessed. It was fun to look back and see how my opinions and playstyle have changed from then to now.

      Yep, Blazing Blade was my first as well, and one of them I actually haven’t beaten yet. Almost got through one playthrough, pretty easily actually, but then walled by the dragon at the end because I spread the XP around too much and none of the lords were strong enough to take a hit from it. I learned my lesson from then on to build a core team instead and don’t hide the lords from the enemies too much to prevent losing, you’ll lose in the end anyway.

      I’m sure my playstyle has changed a lot. I wasn’t that good in Fire Emblem at that time.

        I never played Hector hard mode back then. To be fair, it was kind of a pain to unlock. I thought Marcus was the WORST, and I cleared the game with a 20/20 Dorcas

          I don’t know anymore what you have to do to unlock Hector hard mode. I almost never use the strong unit in a fire emblem at the start, here Markus. I think that makes it boring and Marcus isn’t good anyways, he is no Seth.
