Similarly, you can walk freely through towns and dungeons.
"Traditional" Fire Emblem gameplay occurs when you encounter enemies. You can move freely along the world map. Some of those changes stuck around for other games others didn't. Gaiden made a lot of changes to the original Fire Emblem formula. "What makes Gaiden 'the black sheep / black dragon' of the Fire Emblem series?" Pegasus knights, however, can fly over obstacles – but they're easily brought down by arrows. For example, a swordfighter can pack a punch, but is hindered by difficult terrain like swamps and mountains. Their fighting strength and movement speed depends in some part on their unit type. You command swordfighters, Pegasus knights, mounted cavalry units, and other heroes. "What does Fire Emblem Gaiden have in common with other Fire Emblem games?"Īside from its classic turn-based battle system, Fire Emblem Gaiden also brings back a lot of familiar fighting faces. A world war threatens to engulf both kingdoms, and its up to the game's protagonists – siblings named Alm and Celica – to lead separate armies and eventually bring peace back to the realm.Īs with nearly all Fire Emblem games, Gaiden delivers twists and turns a-plenty. The Fire Emblem Direct on January 14 started with a summary of Gaiden's story, but here's the gist: There are two gods that oversee two kingdoms with opposing points of view on how mortals should live their lives. You train up your troops and promote them into stronger warriors as you progress through the story. Long-time Fire Emblem fans should see a lot of familiar elements at first glace: You move your units across the battlefield and engage enemies on an separate screen when you touch them (or when they touch you). "So what is Fire Emblem Gaiden?"įire Emblem Gaiden is a turn-based strategy game from Nintendo, and the second entry in the Fire Emblem series. Like other "deviant" games in popular franchises – say, Zelda II or Castlevania II – Gaiden has its fans, and they're a dedicated bunch who are happy the remake is happening. Gaiden is the black sheep (or black dragon) of the Fire Emblem family, which makes Nintendo's decision to refurb it interesting.
Honorable mention to Longbow for locking enemies in place and Saunion for making flying 5-range units, but with killer bows being what they are these niches are sadly irrelevant most of the time.Which Version of Fire Emblem Fates Should I Buy? Heck it made Bow Knight Atlas seem good, since all you need is str. Parthia is my personal favorite for its +3 range art, but killer bow is stupidly OP with both high crit and brave effect. Gradivus is the most useful regalia because it's basically a super javelin and a decent weapon for ant lance user not in a specific niche, though Rhomphaia is king of dps on high speed lancers thanks to Dragonhaze.
In a similar vein, by the time you ever touch a Dragon shield (unless you somehow take Desaix's in the first chapter) its -10spd and lack of damage boost will limit its usefulness greatly. It even loses out on anti terror, what is this crap? Zweihander has the most useful sword arts and is much cheaper. Much as I wished Mercurius was good, it gets outclassed because of no sword arts, and recovery isn't useful enough on late game sword units to justify its cost over a regular blessed sword. If you reach halfway through Thabes but turn back, you can sell the Sages Shield for 3 gold as well. It's not particularly useful but goes for 3 gold. Tatiana is the best saint thanks to Fortify, you should bring her and Faye, or Silque if Faye isn't a cleric. They shouldn't be fighting, hopefully the Dracoshield will keep them from being oneshotted. Saints should have Dracoshields, or random rings if you didn't kill Desaix/Jedah. Most Sages benefit from Speedrings to potentially double with Saggitae, or can use Mage Rings if there are enough to go around. Gold Knights, Falco Knights don't have many good options, but the best lances are Rhomphaia (From Ridersbane) and Gradivus (Duma Temple). Brave Swords don't require gold so they're fairly easy to get, but I find them boring and unreliable. Alm can use the Royal Sword if you're on a budget, but not Falchion.ĭread Fighters want Zweihanders or Brave Swords. Not the Beloved Zofia.īow Knights and Alm want Killer Bows, with at least one Parthia to cheese the final boss. Priestesses and Celica want Mage Rings or the Ladyblade.
