I didn't recruit him in my first (blind) playthroughs of PoR and RD. In 2-P, he was just a random green unit I had never seen before, so I waited to see if he would do anything/come talk to me, but he just left. I just thought "huh, that's a little weird I guess" and kept playing. Elincia's gambit was a little harder for me than for most people... (Coming straight from 3H, I wasn't aware that missable recruitments were common, especially from the enemy army.)

​@hansgretl1787 my first time playing PoR I killed Jill thinking that she was free exp and could be recruited later (you can do that for fe11 whitewings), spoiler alert: don't do that, had to kill Haar later too.

The older I get the more I'm obsessed with Radiant Dawn soundtrack. Inspired me some real knight ambition when I was a teenager

[@vishuprathikanti9352]

Everyone here's talking about Elincia's Gambit and the 3-13 archer, can we talk about how epic this song is? This song probably solidified my view that this is the best fire emblem soundtrack of all time.

[@williamq6435]

I can say that without a doubt this is the best fe ost. There houses and even echoes don't even compare to this

[@bigtimetimmyjim6486]

I thought PoR's soundtrack was unexciting, but RD certainly made up for it.

[@dangerousshoes]

I really like RD's soundtrack, but it's really damn difficult to stand up to the absolute titan that is the Fates soundtrack. They went all out for it.

[@vishuprathikanti9352]

@@dangerousshoes tbh I think the last time I played RD was when I made this comment and I've since played conquest like 3 (4?) times so you might be right 😂 When I wrote this I knew thracia was my favorite fe game and honestly I'd say fates, thracia and RD might tie for best soundtrack? Idk, like I said I have to replay RD

[@dangerousshoes]

Ayy, a thracia fan. But yeah, I haven't played RD myself since well, it came out? The soundtracks that are my favorite are probably Fates, Echoes and Genealogy, with couple from Heroes, actually. And Engage has a few I like, too

[@TioAceite]

I managed to figure out a way to beat that Chapter in 2 turns, on Hard. It's pretty nice but a huge waste of xp.

[@andrew3087]

Jeffrey Dupont Ik this is kinda late, but to me Hard Mode this map was kinda easier. Idk if it was because Hard Mode made me get used to more strategic advancement, or if I used more units strategically. But it was definitely easier.

[@thenerdasaurus3717]

Same here 😂 Learned to love this song after a while; sometimes it'd pop into my head when I wasn't playing and I'd have to strain to remember. Now I'll never forget.

How to easy 2 turn this chapter. Buy hammer in the previous chapter, give hammer to haar, fly haar down turn one, kill boss turn 2.

@@geenobe9941 Haar isn't invincible and there's enough enemy units down there to kill him if left on his own in Hard mode, especially if you're unlucky with dodges or a Thunder Mage crits.

Had a friend once who played a FE10 challenge run with the goal of getting the three herons to the top three spots in their army at the end of the game. Involved a lot of kills with those cards, as well as killing off any units that got too many kills on non-heron maps.

[@TMX1138]

I'd love to see a remake of the Tellius games for the Switch. Maybe they could do it by combining both Path of Radiance AND Radiant Dawn into one game, maybe called Fire Emblem: Radiance Saga. They could also add some stuff to it, such as having the portraits just be expression portraits (similar to Awakening, Fates and Echoes), Casual Mode for the players who don't like the permanent death aspect, Memory Prisms that help tell the backstory for the characters (which was first done with Echoes), full voice acting outside the FMVs for at least the main story stuff (similar to Echoes) courtesy of Cup of Tea Productions, and dual supports.

[@Jordan3DS]

I would definitely love that! I'd prefer a Binding Blade and Genealogy of the Holy War remake first, though, as Path of Radiance and Radiant Dawn are already in 3D/have voice acted cutscenes, so it'd be cool to see the classic sprite based games with HD sensibilities.

[@TMX1138]

Jordan3D The voice acting was only in the FMVs, and was not acted well (Ike's "Don't leave me! Father!" line when Greil is slain comes to mind). In Awakening and Fates, there were small voice clips during the non FMV story moments, while in Echoes, there was full voice acting in the non FMV moments. Also, I'm saying the Radiance Saga remake could be done down the road, as maybe the Japanese only games probably would get remade first, probably either Binding Blade (Roy's game) or Genealogy of the Holy War, more likely the latter.

[@Jordan3DS]

The director of Echoes showed interest in remaking Binding Blade, so as long as Echoes did fairly well I think that we can expect that on the Switch in 2020 or so (hell, maybe even 2019 since it's just a remake). After that I can see a Genealogy remake (although Nintendo would censor almost everything). Then I could see either a Tellius remake or a proper Shadow Dragon remake, since people revile the one that we have and I think that IS would like to try to make an actual definitive version of Shadow Dragon.

[@TMX1138]

Jordan3D Hopefully, Nintendo will just stick to 8-4 ltd and Cup of Tea Productions for the localization of future FE games, since they did a better job with Awakening and Echoes than Treehouse and Kris Zimmerman Salter did with Fates. Also, what made people dislike Shadow Dragon?

[@Jordan3DS]

The guys that die Awakening did Echoes? That's surprising. I guess Awakening doesn't have an awful localization or anything, it's just a mediocre game, so it makes sense.

[@snowthemegaabsol6819]

Man this game was ass but these 2 levels were actually fun. They really are what fire emblem should be in its purest form; movement and terrain management/control. The desert level in part 4 was also great in that respect although it was more attack and evasion focused rather than defensive. It's not form up and wait 30 turns, it's not just mash all the way to the boss, it's actually a big brain strategy game. I'd always thought something was missing from awakening's main story even though it's good already, and this is it. Just a huge endurance marathon

[@KUNAIfever]

shouldve farmed for Heavy blade early on .. fuck

[@jedisalsohere]

Honestly, apart from the base themes, the FE9 battle preps music and some cutscene themes I don't like the music of the Tellius games that much. It focuses too much on atmosphere for me, and not enough on delivering actually memorable melodies that are good to listen to on their own. It's all just too bland for me, it feels like a collection of sounds rather than actual music. Most of the time it doesn't really come together to form a cohesive whole. THIS SONG IS INSANE THOUGH OH MY GOD
