The SUPER ULTIMATE Fire Emblem Tier List (Ft. Mekkah, Bopper, Choops, Linkking & JaeAIK)

[@CamelinCD]

Imagine my shock tuning into this and five hours in suddenly hearing myself be mentioned???? Thanks lol! That was surreal. ……That said I can’t believe the way y’all did my boy Dimitri SMH😤‼️‼️ He abandons revenge and craziness because it was never what he wanted-he says it was an obligation he felt he inherited from the dead! It’s born of empathy! And he returns from it! Because he! Was always! Himself! And just needed Rodrigue (the dead) to tell him they *don’t* want him to take revenge🫵 😭! Also Choops is based and 3H should be at the PEAK of S 3H maddening is the most fun gameplay experience ever smh 🗣‼️ that is all thank you goodnight

[@Danitron904]

With all due respect, what do you find in Maddening 3h to be so fun? I am finding the gameplay abysmal.

[@ninjakirby777]

@@Danitron904it feels more fair compared to other hardest difficulties in other games imo.

[@Danitron904]

@@ninjakirby777 How so? 3h's maddening starts off overwhelmingly hard in the first 4 chapters, gets easier by the latter half of white clouds, before going off the rails in post-time skip and paralogues. A good, fair higherst difficulty, like engage or Cq, stays consistently hard but manageable throughout, and 3h did not do that.

[@SpeedyHawk]

Pinning this so people can check out your Engage Critique! Going to ignore everything you said below that and just smile :)

[@ninjakirby777]

@@Danitron904 what difficulty are you referring to for conq and engage? I’m assuming the highest one. As for why I think three houses is the most fair, because it has consistency. Between divine pulse and combat arts which increase accuracy it’s really unlikely you lose a map because you a map to randomly missing an attack you needed to hit at like 80% hitrate cause you can just use a combat art to boost that accuracy. I have however lost a map in conquest because Camilla missed an 80% hit and then after I reset she missed that same 80% hit on the same enemy causing me to have to reset the map again.

For anyone wondering what the average ratings out of 5 for each game were: Path of Radiance - 4.66 Radiant Dawn - 4.5 Blazing Blade - 4.33 Sacred Stones - 4 Genealogy of the Holy War - 3.83 Echoes: Shadows of Valentia - 3.83 Binding Blade - 3.66 Fates Conquest - 3.5 Thracia 776 - 3.33 Three Houses - 3.16 Awakening - 3 Engage - 2.83 Mystery of the Emblem - 2.66 New Mystery of the Emblem - 2.66 Shadow Dragon - 2.33 Gaiden - 2.2 Fates Birthright - 2 Shadow Dragon & The Blade of Light - 1.8 Fates Revelation - 1.6

This entire video really shocked me, excluding PoR being the top pick. But the 2-4 spots were a surprise. And the fact that Echoes scored higher than 3 Houses is also kinda crazy.

i agree

[@peridrawland5955]

A lot of Engage's original OST is middle-ish of the road regrettably, but I'm gonna just drop a short list of my fave tracks which I do consider bangers: - Tear Streaked (Ice) - Unshaken Royal Confidence (Might) - Bloom in the Breeze (Blossom) - Bright, Bold Sandstorm (Fiery) [basically the version without the HEY HEY]

[@AstraProc]

Engage's OST goes hard in my opinion. In fact, I like it more than the OST of three houses for a variety of reasons. The opening theme is undeniably terrible though. Final map theme isn’t great either. At least both these tracks only play once.

[@migu6528]

Thank you someone else that loves Bloom in the Breeze that theme is so underrated

[@tempest1702]

2:20:18 the reason to not grind every unit to max level in the tower of valni is because it's uninteresting over a large span of time. Take dark souls for example, literally ubiquitous for difficulty and challenge in games and you can literally grind as much exp as you want. Nobody does it because it is a gross waste of time. I think the tower of valni works in the same way; players can balance the mode by simply deciding that its not fun or interesting and is just there to get people through the game in a pinch or for super dedicated players.

[@MisterZebra42]

As far as I’m concerned all Tower of Valni does is let you get characters like Amelia or Ewan to a usable state without having to burden yourself across multiple maps finding spare kills for them. In every other game they would be insta-benched without a second thought - Tower of Valni just means you have a few more options at the cost of only a little time.

[@exalt7787]

I'm glad we can all agree that the Tellius games are GOATed

[@yoder6162]

I think Awakening did have good supports past the C convo for most characters and there were a few good C conversations for some characters, like when Panne talks to Olivia or when Tharja is paired with Libra. Even Robin becomes a much more interesting person the more supports you unlock with them and some of them are actually different depending on Robin's gender and the other character.

[@VaporeonEnjoyer1]

Chrom and Sully is one of my favorites. The tomboy and the royal who have known each other since childhood, the tomboy working so hard to keep up puts her at odds of wanting to be seen as equal to the men but still wanting to be seen as a lady, and Chrom loving her for exactly who she is. They don't produce the best children in terms of gameplay, but their supports are fantastic too. Lucina and Kjelle both trying to build bonds with their parents is great. I'm just a sucker for opposites attracting. Like having meathead Vaike and genius Miriel finding love and listening to them talk about their same feelings in such different ways is great.

[@squatch1565]

Glad to listen to 5 idiots and (you decide 😈) discuss Fire Emblem. At the very least, I can wholeheartedly agree with S-tier. In regards to Engage's story, one thing I think that may have helped is if they had made each of the Four Hounds a rival to one of the four crown lords. Ivy and Zephia is the obvious choice, with Ivy running away from the kingdom worshipping Zephia's master, providing the latter opportunities to pester her about it. Alfred vs Mauvier has the two "knightly" characters pitted against each other, Timerra vs Marni has the two more jovial characters fighting, and I could see Griss viewing Diamant as a strong opponent (I'd also rewrite Griss to have his masochism come from the shounen trope of characters who just enjoy fighting, and make him a Martial Monk with a personal skill boosting his damage with gauntlets). It also matches up pretty well with the unit types--flying women, cavalry guys, and the foot-based girls and guys.

[@jeffl3916]

It is amazing you were finally able to publish this, Speedy. It sounded like it demanded much from you, and this was a worthy project. I imagine, we all have thoughts on how we would rank our FE games, there is so much to say when comparing the different entries. Just a one thing, and sorry for how long this is. I understand that each person rated each entry based on what they sought in each game, which is very valid. Many of these games vary along the spectrum of what we are all searching for in a FE game; except two, which represent the extremes of the spectrum, situated on opposite sides: Genealogy and Fates. Genealogy has story, but zero gameplay. As you noted in regards to SoV, it is throwing your blobs against their blobs. It has no strategy beyond placing your units on avoidance tiles and (to quote a better game) pick a god and pray that you do not get wrecked. Yet, one cannot deny its importance in FE history. It is where FE started to take the shape, we all know and love, introducing mechanics we are still playing with. Fates has gameplay (peak gameplay), but a mess of a story. It is clear they aimed for something on the level of Genealogy, but they dropped the ball. Hard. It actually bothers the gameplay, because the story is so inane. All of this is to say, that if you place Genealogy high you must do the same for Fates, as they represent opposite sides of the FE experience.

@@Choops6969I agree. 😊 I am sure either Speedy or Bopper can argue my point about gameplay better than I can, but I will say, when the only real strategy you have is which pixelated character is going to get it on with which pixelated character, you might not have the best gameplay.

The point during the Awakening section, where the debate was as to if FE13's success was from advertising or from relative game selection, here's what I'll add. I'd been an Ike main in Smash for a while, was interested in FE, but not enough to seek it out. One day I was messing around on my 3DS, and I saw the demo for Awakening. Played it, had fun, but sadly never bought the game (No $). I don't remember if I knew of Awakening, and if so, how much, but the Awakening demo was my first FE. At this point, I've played Birthright + Conquest, Shadows, 3H, and Engage, I desperately need to go back and finish the series as a whole. At one point I had all the ROMs saved and ready for when I homebrewed my Switch too...

Indeed, I couldn't have disagreed more with Choops on his rant on the story especially with regard to Eirika and Lyon as the former falling for the ploy in being tricked into handing over the sacred stone was much more believable than lol Celica's moment of stupidity in trusting obvious bad that's done nothing but actively try to kill Celica and co, especially assuming if you recruited Sonya who has a rare vs conversation with Jedah. Not only is the best friend angle there for trusting, but through flashback Eirika has been told by Lyon about his stone research managing to save a little girl from fire wounds and ridding them, so she does have something to go off by to save her friend's life. Plus Eirika mentioning the gentle prince son who she is friends with of the once ally neighboring nation that's all of a sudden attacking and wondering how he's doing with the current dilemma comes out of nowhere? Say it ain't so! It's almost as if they're actually well written real friends that care about eachother. That said, wish the game had been placed above Blazing Blade as its story is much more flawed such as how Ursula's excuses for not going after Ninian and Nils when she was tasked to and not being punished for it given the Black Fang's code from her "other business to attend to" never addressed for what was more important than getting the siblings compared to Valter who allows both Eirika and Ephraim go because of his self-serving goals at allowing the war to continue on longer (hence killing Glen) and wanting to savor the hunt/fruit to ripe (he's basically FE's version of Hisoka from HxH). So yeah, otherwise a great ranking list.

[@MoogleMecha]

My genuinely hot insane take is that FE1 Item Management isn't _that_ bad, it requires you to plan ahead, and it was so annoying that now every time I see the item break in any Fire Emblem I still get a bit of joy that I won't have to deal with it, and honestly, that was kind of a fun experience and has made me enjoy the entire rest of the series more.

I was a 3H hater the first time I played it, and since then I've only finished one run on Maddening difficulty. Overall, I have nearly the exact same complaints after the second run, the only opinion that's changed is that I really like gambits now. Gambits are basically armor pieces for your units to equip like in regular jrpgs, and they provide some crazy options to circumvent a lot of the game's BS: like stride, retribution. I found gambits to be very good rewards for finishing paralogues in part 1, even better than most of the legendary weapons in this game. What kills the 3H experience for me is that it doesn't respect your time. So much of the game is built to encourage grinding, and growing infinite stat boosters to snowball either your Lord or Byleth is the most efficient way to play the game. Awakening is infamous for Chrobin soloing and open maps with enemy spam, but 3H is just as guilty but doesn't receive any of the flack. This is an issue to me because the entire appeal of Fire Emblem is how lean it is as a jrpg. You can finish a run of most of the games within 20-30 hours, and your stats are typically secondary to your strategy in most games. That is not the case in 3H, that game takes freaking forever to finish one run, and your units require a lot of investment to be relevant. The game does not have enough variety in its map design, unit building or story to deserve its length.
