generally easy, but still enjoyable. introduced some new and interesting mechanics I really wanted

Cast adorable y fresco setting de la historia. El final es muy fire emblem pero lo que ha sido el viaje ha sido genial,, me ha encantado

probably has the best art direction of any FE game out there. as far as the gameplay and story, it's commendable what they made out of it considering how strange and clunky the original is but it still has the flaws of the original. that's not inherently a bad thing though. i like that it's faithful to the original's identity, warts and all.

Obv gem of the DS games but it doesn't count since its a remake


I love everything about this game except actually playing it. Yet it's my favorite FE.

Great Story and characters with decent enough gameplay

My favorite FE game. Everything about the presentation, voice acting, music and the art is perfect. Has one of the best villains in the series (I love Berkut) and has some of the more unique ways classes and magic work in the series. Map design can be awful at times (mostly Celica's side) but I can look past some bad maps when everything else in this game is absolutely perfect.

woo the map design is ass ESPECIALLY FOR CELICAS ROUTE >:(

The voice acting is actually fucking good lol. The maps on Celica’s route kinda blow ass. Generally not a fan of her route compared to alms but like cmonnnnn it’s like Star Wars

One of my favorite games from the fire emblem series. It has a good story and introduces a few great new characters that were absent from the original Fire Emblem: Gaiden. Its main problems are the map design and relative lack of replayability. The maps are modernized but still very large, so you often end up running towards enemies for the first few turns.

Qué bonito todo el arte pero como vea un desierto/pantano más me mato

story is one of the best in the series and the presentation is beautiful the only bad thing about this game is the combat and map design but other than that its amazing

la historia y el modo de abordar el juego ya eran interesantísimos en el thracia, y en este remake lo mejoran con añadidos de calidad de vida, una banda sonora rehecha a las mil maravillas y un estilo visual muy bonito

Such a weird FE game. Didn't mind the deviations from the usual formula, such as dungeon crawling, AS calculation, weapon arts, learning spells, etc. And DEFINITELY didn't miss reinforcements. Presentation was amazing as well, loved having all characters fully voiced and the voicework overall was great. But those awful, generic maps really hurt the game. As did the lack of enemy variety and the trash mobs the game throws at you. Definitely a standout FE game, but not one of the better ones

Un remake muy bueno de un Fire Emblem flojillo. Audivisualmente para ser la 3DS era una gozada y rompía con bastantes convenciones de la saga... algunas de las cuales se convirtieron en convenciones por muy buenas razones. La historia estaba bien pero el diseño de niveles era atroz.

The art direction is the best in any Fire Emblem and the story and voice acting are great. I'd give this 5 stars but the map design and lack of weapon triangle is pretty painful.

the art was absolutely gorgeous, and some of the maps were a little hard but i really enjoyed the fact that it made me struggle a bit <3 really nice remake, and so much better than what i expected

It was very kind of them to dump all the bad parts into Celica's story while keeping the kino in Alm's. More proof that women are inferior.

Great Music, Art, Voice Acting and characters but the maps are honesty unfun, annoying and are some of the worst in series for me. If the maps were updated and redesigned more from their NES counterpart, this would easily be one of the best FE games as the rest of this game is great on top of being an amazing remake.

Best story presentation in the series, and among the best story wise. From that alone I highly recommend it. The gameplay is a little different from most FE games playing much more into the RPG elements of the series.

It's crazy. In Fire Emblem Fates, Intelligent Systems made a game where you skip the story and play the game. And now, they made a game where you watch the story and wish you could skip the game. At least you can cheese most of it, and Berkut's VA is amazing.

My favorite fire emblem game and in my top ten games ever. I feel like the presentation of the series peaked here even though we’re on home consoles and this is a 3ds game. I wonder if they’ll ever remake an older fire emblem in this style again because I reminisce about this all the time it felt perfect to me

the story and the mechanics really worked well with me, plus I really love faye btw did you know I love faye


Considering Gaiden isn't all that good, Shadows of Valentia does a decent job

The artstyle, voice acting, and soundtrack are all amazing. This really elevates an otherwise basic story, and made me invested.

Maps are quite bad. Alm's are just open fields, and Celica's were designed by a masochist. This is largely due to Gaiden rather than Echoes, but it's still a negative.

The character writing and story is okay? Alm is weird. A common farm boy who fights back against Rigel to liberate Zofia. Seems endearing enough, but he doesn't face any issues. He's immediately handed the deliverance despite his age and inexperience, he steamrolls the Rigelian army, marches up to Rigel Castle, destroys them, and then kills god.
Seems unrealistic for a farmboy, until you realize he's the chosen one with a special brand, special sword, and ability to make the right choice at every given turn, while Celica struggles. Him secretly being the heir to the throne of Rigel just magnifies his writing issues more.

Celica is the opposite, she spends the whole game running around and failing at everything. She sacrifices herself for nothing because she trusted a purple gremlin, and needs Alm to save her. Her character is also hard to describe, she's cold and distant, but also empathetic and kind? She's just kind of boring to me on top her bad writing.

Anyways, I've done enough to piss of the SoV fans now. Despite the characters getting nerfed, all other aspects are done really well, so the game was enjoyable overall.

Some well designed maps and decent story. Having the two different parties allowed for more characters to get their chance to shine on the battlefield. The actual unit types didn’t seem very balanced and I eventually benched a chunk of the cast and started wrecking enemies. Despite some parts of the map being too vulnerable to repetitive random battles, I liked the game. All complaints are minor. I’d like to see an expansion of some ideas here, with more fleshed out dungeons being a main one. Simplistic story is a strong point.

ça va mais j'en garde pas vrm de souvenir

fire emblem can be sick as hell when it's not wholly focused on making characters Fuck

story is great, some of the best voice acting i've seen, beautiful presentation and artstyle, but it gets bogged down by being a remake of a famicom game from the 90s. poison swamps, shit-ass desert levels that take up a good chunk of celica's route (which is the only reason to use pegagus knights at all)... plus they kept in stupid gimmicks like whatever the hell is going on with jedah.

yet somehow none of that ruins the game for me! i still think this is hands-down my favorite fire emblem, it just hits so differently than other FE games. nothing compares to getting a 60% crit rate on deen and just sweeping the whole damn game
