I just hope they release a complete edition of Fates on Switch so I don’t have to buy 3 seperate games. (This is my humble opinnion, also Lucina is best girl in smash). 10. Now "Three Houses" probably takes the between-mission busywork too far, but just being able to have Support Conversations between missions (that may eventually result in coupling the characters off) was an excellent addition to the franchise that increased the care we have for individual characters, which is one of Fire Emblem's strengths over something like the (Advance) Wars series. Honestly, nope. One such mission has you retreading a map seen earlier, but in a vastly different context. Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon (Super NES, DS) 15. Think this list was meant to generate a lot of responses because I heavily disagree, @Peppy_Hare what do you suspect, Nintendo never questions the real zelda fans or listen to them, oh idk its a bad fe game. Let us know the error of our ways below with a polite missive in the box marked 'Comments'. Path of Radiance3. With limited funds, weapons, and units, these missions offer a healthy amount of challenge even on normal mode. I guess the title just really rubs me the wrong way because of those lessons. Heroes. If this is just FE games then it would be on this thread. After years of fruitlessly waiting for a proper local Google Play release, I've recently sideloaded Heroes as well, and I beg to differ about time mechanics - frankly, I often grow weary for the session long before my stamina is depleted. It was included as part of the 3DS' Ambassador Program for early adopters of the system before its price cut, giving owners of that handheld an opportunity to catch up if they missed it on GBA back in 2005 and prepare for the franchise's arrival on that system. FF1-FF6 all got remake for either PS1, GBA, PSP, and DS that there's no point in going back to play the Famicom and Super Famicom originals anymore that is unless the original game is great like FFVI on Super NES that it makes sense to just go back for that one. Fire Emblem Warriors is my first "musou" (not counting the briefly tried Hyrule demo on 3DS), but its degree of control over ally units, the bunch of FE mechanics and the amount of content to grind and unlock has done a lot to grow me fonder to the genre. Shadow Dragon. TMS is a real game and isn't a pile of garbage and is kind of its own thing. This can be done as early as Chapter 2 even though the events of Cindered Shadows seem to take place right after Chapter 4, and if all of your save files are already in part two of the campaign then they won’t appear at all. Sacred Stones 4. Fire Emblem: Three Houses deserves the top spot, and Fates: Birthright was my first Fire Emblem game, and I loved it. Personally I'd only swap Awakening and Three Houses. Oof, Path of Radiance and Radiant Dawn being so low kills me. They changed the main page link to say “best fire emblem games of all time”, so I figured they’d throw in four and five (the SNES ones) and it was an updated article. I quite liked Warriors though, not as a FE game, but as a musou game I could actually get into. Lol I don't agree with any of these placements. A strategy game that doesn't let you plan ahead and always lets you win anyway is barely a strategy game. Fates Conquest9. They clearly didn’t design the rest of the cast compared to the royals because they’re just way way worse. But I'm sure my own list would piss off even more people, haha. Shadow Dragon and the Sword of Light Echoes (I can say this as I played the original numerous times) In other words, you're the minority of the fanbase. I haven’t played Three Houses but going from what it looks like and this list I’m guessing it won’t be my cup of tea. By turning the tables on my expectations for how to overcome enemies, I was constantly kept on my toes, excitedly changing my entire strategy multiple times to solve problems I didn’t think I’d be facing. All of the 3DS games destroy it. We'll be sharing all of the stories on our Twitter and Facebook pages, but fans should check back daily for plenty of Mass Effect goodness.. GTA 6 Rumors Are Piling Up. If you had to state an opinion everytime you said it than that would be so stupid. Path Of Radiance3. Fired!!!!! This expansion pass offers new unlockables that can go a long way, but its side story connects in an odd way. You either should count both TMS#FE and Warriors, or neither. Shadow Dragon7. Three Houses does feature that mechanic in the form of “breaker” abilities (Swordbreaker, Lancebreaker, and Axebreaker). @Doofenshmirtz Oh wow clearly your opinion is how everybody should feel. The eighth instalment to be made, The Sacred Stones was only the second to get an international release. Also the tactical aspects (the real core) remains fun, you may argue on the difficulty but not in how fun the battles are. Add the extensive skill system, plenty of modes and a very welcome abundance of narrative content - plus a taste of many characters otherwise still unavailable in the west officially, - and it may well be Nintendo's most meaty mobile offering to date indeed. Several of the fights even feature objectives beyond just routing an enemy force, which I was very happy to see since inventive battle parameters were something that the main story was sorely lacking. I guess Fire Emblem games are pretty controversial though, and people like them for different reasons so it was impossible to make a list that pleases everyone. Dragalia Lost. @HammerKirby I've had to take multiple general writing courses in which I learned opinions should never be implied, it should always be obvious. That's how I liked it the most. Three Houses7. The Toad Houses let Mario take the contents of one of three chests, containing a power-up. Path of Radiance and Radiant Dawn were both far superior to everything else on this list, IMHO, largely because they stayed "on track" with great battles and an excellent, connected storyline, and didn't get bogged down in an overkill of mundane busywork in between. I especially loved the third tier classes in Radiant Dawn, and I found the story in both games compelling. @RetiredR It is NOT unfit for such a character and story driven franchise at all! Fire Emblem: Mystery of the Emblem (NES, DS) It tries to act as a mini Garreg Mach to explore between missions, but since there’s no activity points to spend or time to study, you really can’t do much aside from talking to the four new recruitable characters known as the Ashen Wolves. Your recency bias is absurd. Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance (GameCube) He feels like the fully realized shrewd-yet-mischievous schemer that Fire Emblem tried to make Claude out as (nothing against Claude, he just turned out to be too nice of a guy to fill that role), and Yuri’s ability as a Trickster to warp and change places with another unit make him incredibly valuable for getting units where they need to go. Still, this is a fine game; yet another to benefit from the localisation talents of 8-4. Cindered Shadows really shines best as a grueling gauntlet of battles. I don’t even know why Intelligent Systems abandoned the franchise in favor of FE. The game also had plenty of subtext with the way the Laguz were used but just about everyone pretty much as pawns/slaves. I only played Sacred Stones, a very, very good game. Portable Fire Emblem games are just so smooth and easy to pick up. Fates seems way too high. Obviously there are complex combinations but the strategy doesn’t hold a candle to Advance Wars. It is a total overhaul, meaning practically everything has been touched in someway. I'm doing better at the game now, and can appreciate it better this time around, but I still don't get much enjoyment out of it, given that I prefer more action-oriented games than strategy-oriented games. And this is coming from someone who only enjoys the games with no permadeath. It’s even worse in Revelations, which you could complete with your eyes closed even on Lunatic since they just throw OP units one after another at you. Blazing Sword3. Final boss is just a letdown. The side story Cindered Shadows is the real meat of the Expansion Pass, but the way its implemented can be a bit confusing. To be fair, I'm not certain how the list would end up ranking all the games as they are all top games. Returning to the purity of an earlier time didn't mean a simpler game, though, as the original Gaiden incorporated dungeon crawling and free-roaming RPG elements that were ideal fodder for a remake using systems developed for the previous 3DS entries. Own a bunch of Cipher cards but don't actually know how to play... Games yet to play:-Dark Dragon and the Sword of Light-Gaiden -Mystery of the Emblem-Akaneia Saga-Berwick Saga-Vestaria Saga, This was as bad as their greatest Zelda list. Still I'm really loving it so far tho but not sure about it being 1. It might not be terribly Fire Emblemy, but it isn't just another useless Warriors game. I personally would rearrange about half of the list, though I'm behind on some FE titles. 4. Hosted by 44 Bytes. It would like if somebody got introduced to Street Fighter by playing Street Fighter V. Yes it's good, but you're merely scratching the surface. Personally, I'd have put Path of Radiance on top and Fates on the bottom, but that's just me. 10. I was so miserable playing it the first time around, I only got to Chapter 4 before I gave up. The Japanese only ones are some of the best FE games so you might as well include them in a list of the best FE games even if they weren't localized. Fates tops my list as I felt it had more creative maps than awakening but it's a tight call between the two. 4. Awakening > Three Houses in my opinnion ,but both are great games. E: I just realize that every international game is actually on the list, so yeah, there goes that compliment. I'll grant that Awakening had the bigger cast, which came with more favourites. Tokyo Mirage Sessions20. It's more about the sim life than anything else. The ability to add several new characters to my roster - all of whom have lost items to find, skill to learn, tea parties to attend, and support conversations to unlock - had me genuinely excited to revisit the main story once again to experience these new elements. Anyone can google that, defend your answers and explain them Gavin. 2. Fates over the radiance games is especially mind boggling. @Xeno_Emblem Judging by the comments I'm seeing, most of you are hardcore FE players. Lol @ listing the new one as the best, so predictable as a way to try and sell that game. For me, my top 3 would be Path of Radiance, Monshou no Nazo (FE3), and Seisen no Keifu (FE4). I would also drop Fates down to just above Shadow Dragon. Shadows of Valentia4. 6. This is a piss poor list and missing Valencia as well. After all, 3DS was all about stability. I don't think I can ever take a review of this site serious. From best to worst: ", Feature: Every 2D Super Mario Game Ranked, Where To Pre-Order The Monster Hunter Rise Nintendo Switch Console And Pro Controller, Animal Crossing: New Horizons: Islands - Get Inspired By The Best Islands We've Seen So Far, Putting our meagre island efforts to shame, News Zelda Remake Specialist Grezzo Is Hiring For A New "Medieval" And "Stylish" Project, News Charles Martinet Would Love To Voice Mario In Upcoming Illumination Movie, Video We've Ranked All 151 Gen 1 Pokémon And It Nearly Killed Us, Random Ariana Grande Sang About Playing Mario Party And Mario Kart. Fire Emblem5. And the story was tedious, filled with insufferable characters and implausible plot devices. Mass Effect week starts Monday, February 1, and runs until Friday. Better than handheld versions, along with the GameCube one. PoR was great but I disliked the game not having traditional monsters, it was just humans vs humans with the occasional wyvern or pegasi thrown in. I know I'm just the outlier, but Three Houses is not even close to my top pick. The community loves Genealogy of the Holy War and Tharcia 776 (I dont, they aged poorly). Fates Birthright Did somebody say four houses? Three Houses may be the best game because it is on Nintendo's new console, has better graphics than the 3ds and for some the inclusion of the monstery. Sacred Stones is the best from the GBA era. The Ike saga is a straight forward epic story driven take on the genre with a variety of well-designed stages & interesting characters and well-written dialogue. With Fire Emblem there's no going back to playing the older originals on Famicom and Super Famicom anymore as most of those are getting remakes or had gotten remakes already and as we see with the remakes those help get fans caught up with the series at the same time while also introducing them to the newer entries as well. Awakening. You're kidding me right? Fire Emblem ever is... the latest Switch one (with the Amazon link) One tiny thing that Awakening has over Three Houses is that if when you select a unit and move them to the wrong grid space you could press B and you would go back to selecting the unit's place. I love being able to control the main unit and go around a location and talk to the other units. Fire Emblem Fates (3DS) That amounts to piss poor review for everything. Also I like shadow dragon but it's not that great. Three Houses adds new strings to the series' bow, though, with the Garegg Mach Monastery providing a Hogwarts-esque academy to explore and enjoy as you build those ever-important relationships with your characters. New Mystery of the Emblem10. 16. Cindered Shadows manages to be entertaining enough in the story it tells, even if it raises more questions than it answers.". 18. Because what I've tasted before has been nothing to sneeze at in itself. After that, I may start another playthrough on Normal difficulty (although still Casual Mode) to truly test my strategic skills. Please note that some external links on this page are affiliate links, which means if you click them and make a purchase we may receive a small percentage of the sale. Cant compare all of them without including those. We encourage you to read our updated PRIVACY POLICY and COOKIE POLICY. I think they are both great games but imagine if Awakening was put on Switch, allowing it to have more space for improved graphics and hell even new cutscenes if they decided to do so. I like the rock>paper>scissors weapon mechanic being an unchanged series staple. This left Geneology of Holy Wars and its gaiden story Thracia 776 as the only two older Fire Emblem games still exclusives to Japan. A port of Shadows of Valencia would be great, too... is this request way too much? Both such classics. When I saw Path of Radiance that low I wanted to protest, but can't really do it because I like them all. 1. This is not about PoR being my favourite here, but RD being better is scientifically proven to be utter nonsense. When someone died I reloaded the battle. I think No.1 FE is..Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War (SNES)-> The Hard core story, Game Playing, Character, BGM.. 3. As for the other Fire Emblem games I haven't played them yet so I can't say anything about their placement but, I do plan on playing Fates or Shadows of Valentia soon. Loved Fates and Awakening. Although yeah I can't help but shake the feeling that it's only there due to recency bias. Awakening2. Personally I think Awakening is the best one. As someone whose only played the 3ds games, the 12th game and Three Houses. Fates Conquest I can't say I particularly care for all the extra guff and busy-work that's in FE games now. Let's face it, that's where it's headed. New fans who never play the old ones don't need to play the old ones anymore, it's the same when Square Enix remake all their older Final Fantasy games. A Char Clone is a character who is based on Char Aznable from the Gundam franchise, a Fountain of Expies.The Gundam series was (and is) wildly popular in Japan, with a cultural impact comparable to Star Trek or Doctor Who in the West. Without Fire Emblem: Awakening, it's quite possible that the series would be languishing in the doldrums of dormant Nintendo franchises. Fire Emblem: Blazing Sword (GBA) Echoes: Shadows of Valentia That being said, it's also terribly boring when it's the same one mentioned every time with little to no variation in reasoning. Trying to compare old to new is already doing dis-service to older hardware and games already. As for Three Houses, I've already said my piece about it. IF this were April 1st, I'd shrugg it off, but ... just a hard no on all of this. @BulbasaurusRex I don't care how many casual players share that opinion, it's unfit for the Fire Emblem series that has been around long before Awakening. ❤. @Turbo857 Well unfortunately Nintendo is changing everything by removing features/series' staples, and people love it, so I guess this is the new normal. Griel was a better mentor character than Jeralt. Three Houses is the very first fire emblem I've ever played, I find it hard to believe that it's instantly the best. The Monstery has turned a good strategy game into an average RPG with a Fire Emblem game as a big side quest. While most of the seven new missions that make … 9. Three Houses is awesome and features a plethora of modern series refinements. Indeed, the huge number of options open to you, not to mention the alternatives closed off with each choice you make, might make Three Houses an intimidating prospect, but it excels in forging a vital and worthwhile experience whichever house you pick or route you take. And contrary to Fates, you don't need to buy another game to go back and travel the road not taken. Wow. Rekka no Ken They also arguably have the best And most memorable cast in the series. Warriors8. Please read our FTC Disclosure for more information. Echoes should be much higher, and PoR>RD, and Blazing Sword>Sacred Stones. It stars royal twins Eirika and Ephraim in a story that sees them separate to protect their homeland of Magvel from invading forces. As for this list, 11 and 10 shouldn't be on it cause they're not even good. Shadow Dragon6. Feels like a cheap and longwinded way of just saying "play the newest one" whether I agree with others about it being the best or not. If Awakening was redone for the Switch, it would beat Three Houses hands down. Advance wars has a higher level of strategy and combat units. Unfortunately, all the school section of Three Houses does not seem my cup of tea, so I skipped it. Blazing Blade4. Conquest story was AWFUL but it had the best map design in the series. But I can't stand Three Houses. Music albums seem to work the same way. Fire Emblem: Three Houses’ Expansion Pass has no shortage of amusing characters and activities to interest anyone playing through the main story, be it for the first time or fourth. Please. Fire Emblem: Sacred Stone (GBA) I honestly wish they brought back recruiting characters by talking to them on the battlefield. anyone who tries to argue that this isn't a Fire Emblem game has clearly never played it. Fates is not good at all and terribly balanced so it should probably be way down the list. The game launched officially on October 11, 2017. 15. Binding Blade18. Awakening and Three Houses are probably the two best games but I’d edge it in favour of Awakening just because of a few niggly issues with 3H. @nessisonett Ah, that would be an issue, although it doesn't affect me that much, since I prefer to play the games on Easy difficulty (and Casual Mode) while training all the characters pretty evenly in order to focus more on the story, character dynamics, and gameplay mechanics. I know 3H has the different paths but I found Awakening extremely re-playable. Echos6. This is a reposted article. I actually really like the new social aspects in modern Fire Emblem games. Gamecube. Radiant Dawn Gaiden Sacred Stones14. But for now, wish me luck with the first "book" of Hero-King Marth chronicles - all the Characters to gather, all the maps to reload a dozen times (I deliberately aim to keep everyone alive, headache-inducing as that may be), all the gaiden chapters with their consequently draconian requirements - no pun intended - to ignore (except for one which I've read can be tricked with convoy mechanics and a certain staff)... my main journey in this one multiverse is only beginning, and I expect a lot. It's like asking N64 Kid on Christmas morning what his favorite console is. This list is a bad idea. This game rejuvenated the series, catapulting it into the top tier of Nintendo IPs on the international stage in a way Intelligent Systems hadn't achieved previously. @RetiredR You know, many of us consider the dating sim elements to be an improvement to the series and are disappointed at how the Three Houses characters are limited to friendship interactions. Now when the player maneuvers a unit, formations of troops move with them and support them in battle. Remember the rule of FE: If you got sword, you're likely in Smash. Following the revival of the series with the incredibly popular Awakening, Fire Emblem Fates stepped things up a gear with a two-pronged assault. Awakening 3. Makes a list of the best Fire Emblem games. Need to finish Shadows of Valentia. 3. I liked so many characters in these two games: Ike, Black Knight, Titania, Sothe, Soren, Ilyana, Nephenee, Zihark, Jill, Ranulf, Haar, Tibarn. Seeing any of the GBA games ranked above PoR/Radiant Dawn is throwing me for a loop. Echoes hits the top sweet spot for me. However, they have to be unlocked by a character’s B weapon skill level before the ability can be equipped. Path of Radiance and Radiant Dawn lower than Shadow Dragon? They also run the Spade Panels which allow players to play a scrolling type game, where they must match three parts of either a Mushroom, Fire Flower, or Starman. Oh look, the top entries have affiliate links attached to them Say it isn’t so, NintenDough Life. I make SA2 go REEEEEEE. I'm not fan enough of the series to be triggered, but I've only played 5 games and these ones aren't even on my podium. Among the flagships themselves, for a long time my acquaintance with the franchise was limited to a campaign and a half of The Blazing Blade, back in the emulation days and specifically on one of my phones (Nokia E61 whose rich keyboard and consequently smaller screen might be labeled heretical in this day and age) before moving on to a different model left me without the save files. And don't forget that most of the older FE games are either Japan only, hard to come by or are just way too expensive. Sacred Stonesdead last would be Fates, Delete this i bet you havent even played path of radiance, Here's my list of my favorite FE* games:*May or may not be actual FE games, 1. I'd go with 1. @Xeno_Emblem I just hate seeing lists that have the newest entry as the best one, primarily when said entries are still so new. Everything from the decision to include Warriors and Heroes to the comically bad numbering in general just screams that it's sort of a late April Fool's joke designed specifically to irritate long time Fire Emblem fans. The game which killed the whole franchise for me at 1st place... As a long time fire emblem fan, this list is upsetting to me. It was so so good overall! Also I think that this should have been a poll like the best Game Boy games feature. I dont think it's a terrible list to be honest. It's a really average Fire Emblem game, with dull characters, boring music, weak visuals, and a seriously faltering frame rate. And if that's still not enough for you, there's always DLC. Fortunately I think these will be the next FE games Nintendo will remake soon. As a hardcore fe fan awakening and fates should be miles lower probably at the bottom they aren't bad but they are very flawed imo compared to others. Fire Emblem on GBA is the best FE game I’ve played so far. Cinders aims to provide a fresh experience through Dark Souls 3. Not including the Japan only ones is pointless as Thracia and GotHW are well worth playing despite the Roy one being rubbish.
