Then why did you bother playing them in the first place...? The story is the best bit of Fire Emblem.
I don't remember if it's game over if she dies - if so, yes. If not, I say no.
I've played part of all the games but the first (and Fates - but that won't last long). And I played so little of the second DS remake that I think it barely counts. I admit I mostly used emulators and patches (for the Japanese exclusive releases). But I had trouble getting that one to work.
I do hope I like it. Awakening was released when I was already losing my lustre for FE - and I wasn't overly fond of a lot of things about it.
Lilina is the daughter of Hector in FE6. She's the blue-haired mage on steroids (that MAG growth) and while she doesn't die from dying for story purposes, I think, getting her killed won't result in a game over.
I know who she is. I've played through the game (less so than some of the others). But this was a good while ago. I just didn't remember if her death was game over. :P
I'd say Birthright at least was better than Awakening. Haven't played Conquest yet, and I'm saving the DLC one for after I finish both of the normal ones. Conquest is probably closer to the older games in that it's much more difficult and restrictive. The reason you probably didn't like Awakening was because it was made easier and simplified to achieve a bigger audience - and I think it's better they did that than finish up with a ridiculously hard game, because it was going to be the last FE game and due to Awakening's success, we get Fates, which we weren't expecting. Fates seems to be trying to rectify the situation now, in that the people who dislike the new style can play Conquest, which is more similar to the old games, while those who like the new style's accessiblity (or are just weeby for Japanese culture like I was at the time of decision :P), can play Birthright.
Yep. That's one of the reasons I'm pretty lenient about a lot of the problems I have with it.
There were a lot of other reasons as well. Some of them definitely do fall to strong personal opinion. I also don't want to clutter the thread with my nitpicking. If you're truly curious I don't mind sharing elsewhere. ^^
I know. I always liked that guy. He seemed like he actually had a chance. Unlike a lot of the parental figures.
Your opinion is irrelevant to my experience.
That actually took me by surprise too. It was a good "well fu nergal" moment that helped establish the player's desire to defeat the big bad. But then you play Hector mode and all Kishuna chapters and that's where it gets real fucked.
It tripped me out, especially since it kept making it seem like he had a chance, then..nope, he's gone.
I've never played that mode..hmm..though, I've never finished the game..I'm assuming it's available afterwards.
Which is it? I have a roleplay planned for a future time which is going to involve at least light dice rolls. Always looking to test various types.
