@@tuskoub coming from the guy that Enjoys Gaiden as his favorite and still contemplates whether it beats Echoes or not, Ghast has Questionable but respectful taste.
I also loved how the dragonstones worked. They transformed manaketes out of combat for several turns. Allowing you to make tiki and bantu and 12 mov flying wyrms on command
Is it the old patch though? Recent patches that I keep finding still have Caeda as "Shiida", heck, the font leaves barely any room for any text. Dolhr is Doluah or something, Archanea is Akania or something too. I don't believe there's a really clean, perfect patch yet for this game. I wanna play it but this bothers me too much... And I don't wanna play FE12 because Kris and also because I've beaten that one already, I haven't finished FE3 yet.
Really enjoyed this video! I'm usually a silent viewer but I gotta say I enjoy this type of content so much that I should comment. The long-form discussion of gameplay and mechanics is mad fun to listen to
YEEESSSS FE3 GANGGGGG OG Mystery is my absolute favorite in the series, and you’ve done it soooo much justice. One more thing I want to mention is that 1-2 range was nerfed in this game. Javelins have 20 weight, meaning that you can never double with them. Hand axes are only present on your slower axe users in Book 1 and Levin Swords deal constant damage. This prevents you from throwing your most powerful Paladin into a hoard of enemies and wiping them out in one turn. Meaning that you can really only do this strat with dodgy mages or Linde’s Nosferatu, but the former is risky while the latter forces you to expend a lot of uses of one of the more powerful tomes in the game. It solves one of FE’s problems of having swords be so objectively worse than other weapon types. On that note, I also think that the absence of the weapon triangle helps the gameplay, as the different weapon types are already balanced by things like weight, hit, and the types of classes that can use them. You can’t just throw your Mercenary into a hoard of axe users and expect them to dodge every attack anymore, something I really appreciate.
Yeah my lazy strat in Book 1 was to throw Oguma and Navarre into an axe group and watch them clean house. Hero crit animations were pretty cool for SNES graphics
I even think that the linde nosferatu is balanced because of how much you have to train her and give her stat boosters to get her strong enough to take every enemy. If you're playing fast or without star shards, it isn't a viable thing. I agree with you so much. I think that fe3 is one of the most balanced games in the series. Out of the 40 something characters you get, I always use like 25-30 characters per playthrough. Everyone can fill a niche
Honestly this is kind of exactly how I feel about Thracia, every moment is memorable and any unit is useable in my experience! I really hope this video does well for you, because it’s one of my favorites now! This is absolutely fantastic!
I'm still in disbelief how they straight up made a remake of FE1 AND a sequel to it for one game. FE3 is really damn good as a continuation of Marths tale and ( apart from a few awful ones) it shows how they started to nail down the map design, I mean compare it to FE1 and Gaiden.
>apart from a few awful ones aka chapter 3 and chapter 11 for the uninitiated, chapter 3 is an overly large map that, if you want to recruit everyone possible in the game, you retty much have to curcle around the entire map, barely having to fight anything for like, 5-10 turns of it to get the the village with Julian in it, and them make sure you don't accidentally delete mathis since he is idiot, then recruit him with Julian and chapter 11 is the second desert map of the game, and it is *literally all desert tiles*
FE3 is personally in my Top 3 of the entire series. Thank you for highlighting it. I feel like if you look at all the big Fire Emblem UA-camrs, FE3 is sorta the forgotten game. I’m also with you on the game’s difficulty. It really hits a sweet spot. Hopefully this video inspires more people to play it. It’s a great game.
My first favorite FE. One thing I'll add about the dismount feature is that it forced me to train up an armor unit, something I would never otherwise do, because Gradivus can't be used on indoor maps otherwise. This is a good thing; I appreciate game mechanics that require team breadth.
The villain portrait for 11:22 is one of the coolest I've seen in FE. I'm currently loving my first time through FE4, but maybe I'll yeet over the FE3 after Thracia.
I loved book 1 of this game, but I cant lie, that Chapter 2 of Book 2 made me think I sucked at Fire Emblem or something so I just dropped the game. Nice to know that it does get better.
I recently started a fire emblem marathon where I play all the games in order. FE3 Book1&2 together took me two days. I think it's maybe my favorite among the ones I played.
@@Evilriku13 Sadly I'm not charismatic and would probably end up sucking badly at the gameplay. I'm on FE8 now and am looking forwards to Berwick Saga and the Tellius titles.
fe3 looks like a game that would be fun as fuck to break into a thousand pieces, the star orb shards making almost everyone fixable, the orbs themselves being the powers of god (ex. starsphere increases all growths by 30% AND makes it so weapons don't lose durability), ranged staves being inf range, and how tiki works/and my favorite dragon mechanics in the franchise
Matthis moment :P (Also thanks for reminding me to finish this game. I've played the remake but fe3 is different enough that I still really like what I've played so far)
Thanks for making this video Ghast. I also had such a blast playing through FE3 Book 1&2 several years ago. Like you said, it was highly engaging from start to finish and ridiculously fun to customize units using the star shards. I fell in love with Julian, the thief with insane combat utility, by playing these games. They were retro in just the way I remembered playing games on an old CRT in the attic as a kid. No one has really sung its praises recently, which I assume is because people, even FE fans, gloss over it in favor of the remakes. Have you played book 1? If so, what did you think of it?
I'd love it if Nintendo just released a Fire Emblem collection for 70$ on Switch. Put everything before FE6 on it. Maybe add the GBA games cuz we all know they would fit.
I just played both books last month. It's actually surprising that the animations and dialogue (mostly in Book 2) still hold up well, and the supply management is actually as good as it is nowadays, but I find some parts a bit dated (Cavaliers and Pegasus Units break the game, but having to constantly change their weapons inside buildings can be a bit of a hussle). And the music is REALLY good.
I've played and I love it!! I have a UK repro copy of it for the Snes. And it's dope!! But it sure has it's hair pulling moments especially the Minerva chapter dealing with her brother...
I love this game, my second favorite beneath Thracia (which I consider a near perfect masterpiece). I love the customization and the trading/inventory was incredibly nice for me, seeing as I had just come off of fe1 (which was fun, but mainly for using meme characters). I really like the star shards, dismounting, and, most importantly, low caps and powerful statboosters. Due to this, i could use homies like cord and darros (and of course, Warren). This is another thing that i loved from fe5, where i could use units i loved and still succeed. TL:DR, I love fe3 and 5 for similar things, but also differences, being fe5’s story and thematic/emotions and fe3’s world, characters, and music/animations.
I see you're a Warren for VP guy Ghast, and from Canada no less! FE3 is still quite popular in Japan, as you can probably imagine with it being the first SFC FE. It seems like none of the english patch projects ever quite manage to finish with this game, it would be great if a talented hacking team took this on and added in some QoL.
@@donaldtrump2728 FE4 isnt overrated, stop misusing that term. It is considered still a hidden gem in compare to modern FE titles which are the more "overrated ones" (despite FE Echoes & Three houses). FE4 is for oldschool FE fans overtalked/overpopular in contrast to the other games, and even hardcore FE4 fans have issues with the game, the reason why FE4 is remembered is its story and its unique spin on the map/chapter formula, even if they can be too much in terms of size.
@@Evilriku13 not gonna say FE4 is overrated since i never played the game but i can't tell u how many times FE4 was mentioned by the FE fandom(especially the elitists). it's huge, not as big as some of the modern FE games but still pretty popular nonetheless.
you really should FE3 is awesome. Great music, great gameplay fun chapters. also Feena the dancer is the best no really haha slap a few star shards on her duing the start portions (though she doesn`t need them) and watch her plow through everything haha ah I had lots of fun with that.
Awesome,how sweet to see Some Mystery of the emblem love,it was my first game that i played It takes me back to a epic thing i did. Linde vs Hardin She dodged his attack (90% hit chance)AND Crited him AND killed him at the same turn.
I'm currently three days into my first FE3 playthrough and I'm already in Chapter 12 of Book 1 (Chapter 15 of Shadow Dragon). Edit: I beat Book 1 like about 2 years ago, but 2 chapters into Book 2, my tablet died.
I read the thumbnail and was expecting the OG BS Fire Emblem episodes. Then I realized in that case "probably never played" meant "almost certainly never even successfully booted up in your emulator."
Nintendo knew what they were doing when they named their Satellaview games "BS", because that's what it must feel like to try and emulate them nowadays.
@@dariogonzalez8989 Well, if you ever need any help with it I can assist. I should work on the reconstruction of the Event Plaza again: I got it close but it is still the wrong colors
Hi Flasuban and I were working on the FE3 Translation in the Project Exile server However Due to immensly stressful circumstances I had to put it off so i could move and sell a lot of the furniture i had, Which Im still doing lol But Now that things have started to calm down (Somewhat) Im gonna start on it back today
Love to see a fan of FE3. I have been stating how awesome it is and at most I get an okay, sure whatever and at worst berated for being out of touch. Seeing the comments, either the fans have found an outlet to share their love for the game or they are just following a crowd. Great Video!
16:56 Actually you messed up this chapter, if you recruit the character in chapter 2 earlier he comes with a Bridge Key that can be used by any character (very easy to miss this because the item inventory is on a separate screen, so people never notice they get it), but I get what you're saying, you'll still have to drag Marth across and defeat most enemies to get the character to recruit Mathis, I had to surround Mathis with strong units without equipment for a while, probably the worst character to recruit in all Fire Emblem games.
Book 2 is good because it has Samto. FE3 was actually my first game after Heroes, it went disastrous for a first run. But I can definitely understand your sentiments! I had a lot of fun playing it. Warren is interesting to me in retrospect because of how different he is. Dude talks about how he goes years without seeing people in his later supports. He was social distancing before it was cool.
I thought you'd be talking that one that's not even numbered, and has the bonus episodes for Book 2. Book 2 is great. I honestly prefer it over New Mystery of the Emblem. Maybe not above Thracia, but it's in my top 5. If I recall, Mystery of the Emblem is one of the most popular, if not most popular in Japan, and sold the best in the series there outside of maybe Three Houses. As for chapter 3 @ 16:38, you don't need to drag Marth all the way around the mountain. I always prefer to use Warren's bridge key to just cross over immediately, and then simply avoid killing Mathis. He has a javelin, can't really double, and it's easy enough to avoid killing him until Marth gets Julian from the upper village.
This was the second Fire Emblem game I played after Awakening and it was quite an experience. The star shards were definitely an interesting addition although I felt some of the characters ending up being obsolete due to existing characters that showed superior performance and weren't liabilities. Of course, it being only my second FE game, I had to go through three playthroughs to have a run where I hadn't lost half my units by the end
I have Mystery of the Emblem on Super Famicon mini. I like a lot this game I've played 3 times both 2 books. One of them was a successfull ironman run. About Book 2 chapter 2, my strategie is using Arran to get the Lady Sword. When the thief arrive the map border, he spent one more turn before he leaves, whit that, Arran can catch up him to get the Lady Sword.
I do really like warren but I also am a big castor fan so it is tough choosing who to use. That is one reason I like fe12 because I can reclass one since I don’t feel like I need multiple bow users most of the time. I go back and forth on wether I like fe3 or 12 better but I do enjoy both. I think fe3 is a more tight game but I do like having all the fe1 units return in fe12. The large amount of difficulty options in fe12 is nice too. The thing that might put fe3 over the edge though is Bantu is actually good.
I was playing blind ironman and didn't have your issues with getting the lady sword. I split up my forces left and right and then killed him with Catria when the thief went left, safely into her range.
Mystery of the Emblem is a game that just gets better and more enjoyable the more you play it. It doesn't root itself in the obscure and highly random mechanics of Thracia, nor does it have the complex story and intense character specific focus of Genealogy. It's just unapologetically a tactical rpg. Simple and clean. The game doesn't distract from its core elements. It gets better with every playthrough, and it has an addictive quality that fuels that "one more chapter" drive.
I have never tried holy war, I really want to try it but as of right now mystery of the emblem and shadow dragon and the blade of light will remain my favorites of all time
It took me way too many attempts to get the Ladyblade on Chapter 2! I traded Catria a Vulnerary from Marth on turn 1 so she could run back and heal on the next turn, as well as repositioned the healer (I forget her name) to start at the top rightmost party slot. That let her run up to sit nearby Catria to heal her again if needed
Turns out I'm also replaying FE3 using a restricted cast though have started with book 1 for perspective (my first impression was "where are the Vulnerary?"). It's easy to forget a lot of the small gameplay things like how swords generally have 4 less weight than lances so dismounting can be akin to -2DMG, +4AS for Cavaliers but when they become Paladins this is +1AS instead (at least until they cap speed while dismounted). If you can't wait for a new translation RobertTheSable recently put out a patch. The script is still based on the Quirino patch which was based on the VincentASM one from a long time ago (which I believe was Japanese > Chinese > English) but it's nice to see people working on FE3 and making various small fixes over like 12 years (no longer does the ending crash for instance).
Bruh the fact you loved it is fantastic. Idk why either why I loved this game but it's just so fire emblem. I said this before but that music, the art, the silly class balance and weapons. The ambush spawns could be draining but that's only cause I used og hardware so no speed ups or saves. It's such a gem and it does soooo Many fun things. But no one is willing to give it a shot it sucks
ehhhhh on the world map you could sell things from your inventory, but as far as i know, you have to take them out of the supply first if they are in supply
Definitely agree with how annoying the early game is, it honestly gave me a very sour impression of the game at first. Having said that... the game gets a ton of fun really fast as well, I'd say the low stat cap (at 20) in a way contributes to that, because sending ridiculously overpowered units to steamroll enemies is kinda fun (of course enemies get so much stronger later, but it never stops feeling fun) Music also contributed a lot to the experience in my opinion, Liberation being the stand out track and something that still plays in my head from time to time It's a very charming, fun game and one I'm definitely glad I played. Glad that it got some love from you as well. Great video
There's a method to make chapter 3 less depending on RNG. Alan the paladin has a silver lance. Since i never use him i'll just have someone from my starting party hold the lance. When Catria arrives hand over the lance. Also have Marth give her one of his potion stacks. The silver lance hits hard enough to make the wyverns disengage.
Woo it's on Switch Online now! I don't care if it's in Japanese, I can it play it portably on official Nintendo hardware. I've been following a script translation and am on chapter 16 of Book 1. I am completely obsessed, FE3 is an incredible experience!
"I kinda like Mystery of the Emblem more than Geneology or Thracia" I fucking wonder why! I have yet to finish any of those, but my experience with GotHW makes me quite a lot more sympathetic to the simplicity of MotE.
Well of course Warren a great character, he even got a whole town named after him. ...played this game for the first time moire than 10 years ago, also with the old translation patch. It was such a good time and I came to love this game so much, as to even customize aspects of it to my liking for later playthrougs. Like making the enemies in the last chapters actually challenging for a trained party or letting certain units dismount into soldiers to lances can be used indoors more. I think it's absolutely amazing. Shame some of those mechanics make it so slow to play.
I played it about half a year ago as part of my marathon of the whole series. I... liked it better than Dark Dragon, but not much more. The enemy AI in a lot of maps is shockingly simplistic and unaggressive, and the growth boosting items just frustrate my perfectionist soul due to me wanting to get as much exp on units who have them as possible (which is easy to do because, again, most enemies for a shocking portion of the game wait to be approached before they attack, so funneling whole maps into a single character is trivial). Most of what I appreciated about it was how it upgraded most QOL features compared to Gaiden and to a much greater extent Dark Dragon, but then later games in the series made those improvements more dated. "Liberation" is fucking fire though. Love that song with all my heart.

TL:DR, I love fe3 and 5 for similar things, but also differences, being fe5’s story and thematic/emotions and fe3’s world, characters, and music/animations.
I see you're a Warren for VP guy Ghast, and from Canada no less!
FE3 is still quite popular in Japan, as you can probably imagine with it being the first SFC FE.
It seems like none of the english patch projects ever quite manage to finish with this game, it would be great if a talented hacking team took this on and added in some QoL.
Any game taking place in Archanea is pretty far outside of my knowledge. Interesting video!
0:03 how could you say something so controversial yet so brave
Mystery of the emblem is super popular in Japan though
I agree with this take genealogy is overrated mystery is epic
it really is tho
@@donaldtrump2728 FE4 isnt overrated, stop misusing that term. It is considered still a hidden gem in compare to modern FE titles which are the more "overrated ones" (despite FE Echoes & Three houses). FE4 is for oldschool FE fans overtalked/overpopular in contrast to the other games, and even hardcore FE4 fans have issues with the game, the reason why FE4 is remembered is its story and its unique spin on the map/chapter formula, even if they can be too much in terms of size.
@@Evilriku13 not gonna say FE4 is overrated since i never played the game but i can't tell u how many times FE4 was mentioned by the FE fandom(especially the elitists). it's huge, not as big as some of the modern FE games but still pretty popular nonetheless.
Ghast fanboying over Warren reminded me of the time I used him in a draft in FE12
This game is dope. Never finished it but I started it on a whim a few months ago. I really wanna finish someday
you really should FE3 is awesome. Great music, great gameplay fun chapters. also Feena the dancer is the best no really haha slap a few star shards on her duing the start portions (though she doesn`t need them) and watch her plow through everything haha ah I had lots of fun with that.
That end took my heart. So cute!
My favorite Fire Emblem is Sacred Stones. I'm aware of its flaws, but I love it so much.
18:40 Did you mean the Thracia chapter with Xavier?
Awesome,how sweet to see Some Mystery of the emblem love,it was my first game that i played
It takes me back to a epic thing i did.
Linde vs Hardin
She dodged his attack (90% hit chance)AND Crited him AND killed him at the same turn.
I'm currently three days into my first FE3 playthrough and I'm already in Chapter 12 of Book 1 (Chapter 15 of Shadow Dragon).
Edit: I beat Book 1 like about 2 years ago, but 2 chapters into Book 2, my tablet died.
I read the thumbnail and was expecting the OG BS Fire Emblem episodes.
Then I realized in that case "probably never played" meant "almost certainly never even successfully booted up in your emulator."
Nintendo knew what they were doing when they named their Satellaview games "BS", because that's what it must feel like to try and emulate them nowadays.
@@dariogonzalez8989 Well, if you ever need any help with it I can assist. I should work on the reconstruction of the Event Plaza again: I got it close but it is still the wrong colors
Hi
Flasuban and I were working on the FE3 Translation in the Project Exile server
However Due to immensly stressful circumstances I had to put it off so i could move and sell a lot of the furniture i had, Which Im still doing lol
But Now that things have started to calm down (Somewhat)
Im gonna start on it back today
Love to see a fan of FE3. I have been stating how awesome it is and at most I get an okay, sure whatever and at worst berated for being out of touch. Seeing the comments, either the fans have found an outlet to share their love for the game or they are just following a crowd.
Great Video!
16:56 Actually you messed up this chapter, if you recruit the character in chapter 2 earlier he comes with a Bridge Key that can be used by any character (very easy to miss this because the item inventory is on a separate screen, so people never notice they get it), but I get what you're saying, you'll still have to drag Marth across and defeat most enemies to get the character to recruit Mathis, I had to surround Mathis with strong units without equipment for a while, probably the worst character to recruit in all Fire Emblem games.
Book 2 is good because it has Samto.
FE3 was actually my first game after Heroes, it went disastrous for a first run. But I can definitely understand your sentiments! I had a lot of fun playing it.
Warren is interesting to me in retrospect because of how different he is. Dude talks about how he goes years without seeing people in his later supports. He was social distancing before it was cool.
Great vid, keep it up pal.
I thought you'd be talking that one that's not even numbered, and has the bonus episodes for Book 2.
Book 2 is great. I honestly prefer it over New Mystery of the Emblem. Maybe not above Thracia, but it's in my top 5.
If I recall, Mystery of the Emblem is one of the most popular, if not most popular in Japan, and sold the best in the series there outside of maybe Three Houses.
As for chapter 3 @ 16:38, you don't need to drag Marth all the way around the mountain. I always prefer to use Warren's bridge key to just cross over immediately, and then simply avoid killing Mathis. He has a javelin, can't really double, and it's easy enough to avoid killing him until Marth gets Julian from the upper village.
This was the second Fire Emblem game I played after Awakening and it was quite an experience. The star shards were definitely an interesting addition although I felt some of the characters ending up being obsolete due to existing characters that showed superior performance and weren't liabilities. Of course, it being only my second FE game, I had to go through three playthroughs to have a run where I hadn't lost half my units by the end
I have Mystery of the Emblem on Super Famicon mini.
I like a lot this game
I've played 3 times both 2 books. One of them was a successfull ironman run.
About Book 2 chapter 2, my strategie is using Arran to get the Lady Sword. When the thief arrive the map border, he spent one more turn before he leaves, whit that, Arran can catch up him to get the Lady Sword.
I'll play it if someone makes a translation that uses the US Shadow Dragon names. The closest one to that uses EU names instead.
I do really like warren but I also am a big castor fan so it is tough choosing who to use. That is one reason I like fe12 because I can reclass one since I don’t feel like I need multiple bow users most of the time. I go back and forth on wether I like fe3 or 12 better but I do enjoy both. I think fe3 is a more tight game but I do like having all the fe1 units return in fe12. The large amount of difficulty options in fe12 is nice too. The thing that might put fe3 over the edge though is Bantu is actually good.
It's funny that 3rd and 4th were my first FE lol
I was playing blind ironman and didn't have your issues with getting the lady sword. I split up my forces left and right and then killed him with Catria when the thief went left, safely into her range.
Mystery of the Emblem is a game that just gets better and more enjoyable the more you play it. It doesn't root itself in the obscure and highly random mechanics of Thracia, nor does it have the complex story and intense character specific focus of Genealogy. It's just unapologetically a tactical rpg. Simple and clean. The game doesn't distract from its core elements. It gets better with every playthrough, and it has an addictive quality that fuels that "one more chapter" drive.
I played it as well this pandemic. It was awesome. For context i started on fe4 first and then started fe12 still haven't finished fe4 finished 12
I have never tried holy war, I really want to try it but as of right now mystery of the emblem and shadow dragon and the blade of light will remain my favorites of all time
It took me way too many attempts to get the Ladyblade on Chapter 2! I traded Catria a Vulnerary from Marth on turn 1 so she could run back and heal on the next turn, as well as repositioned the healer (I forget her name) to start at the top rightmost party slot. That let her run up to sit nearby Catria to heal her again if needed
This is why I’m probably missing out on fire emblem. Need to play it
Turns out I'm also replaying FE3 using a restricted cast though have started with book 1 for perspective (my first impression was "where are the Vulnerary?"). It's easy to forget a lot of the small gameplay things like how swords generally have 4 less weight than lances so dismounting can be akin to -2DMG, +4AS for Cavaliers but when they become Paladins this is +1AS instead (at least until they cap speed while dismounted).
If you can't wait for a new translation RobertTheSable recently put out a patch. The script is still based on the Quirino patch which was based on the VincentASM one from a long time ago (which I believe was Japanese > Chinese > English) but it's nice to see people working on FE3 and making various small fixes over like 12 years (no longer does the ending crash for instance).
Bruh the fact you loved it is fantastic. Idk why either why I loved this game but it's just so fire emblem. I said this before but that music, the art, the silly class balance and weapons. The ambush spawns could be draining but that's only cause I used og hardware so no speed ups or saves. It's such a gem and it does soooo Many fun things. But no one is willing to give it a shot it sucks
I like FE3 more than its remake in NDS simply for the slick animation and music. Simple reasons I know.
"KAY-tria"
EDIT: Warren is indeed a bro and deserves good things, as well as hot Catria gf
Don’t worry ghast, warren has catria at least.
hehe funny nyoom boy
Funny, fust last wekeend i went to my parents home in Ibiza to get my snes back and I just started playing again this wonderfull game
Did't FE8 also have buying items from supply during preparations?
ehhhhh
on the world map you could sell things from your inventory, but as far as i know, you have to take them out of the supply first if they are in supply
Definitely agree with how annoying the early game is, it honestly gave me a very sour impression of the game at first. Having said that... the game gets a ton of fun really fast as well, I'd say the low stat cap (at 20) in a way contributes to that, because sending ridiculously overpowered units to steamroll enemies is kinda fun (of course enemies get so much stronger later, but it never stops feeling fun)
Music also contributed a lot to the experience in my opinion, Liberation being the stand out track and something that still plays in my head from time to time
It's a very charming, fun game and one I'm definitely glad I played. Glad that it got some love from you as well. Great video
My first fire emblem Game !
Very epic, thank you.
There's a method to make chapter 3 less depending on RNG. Alan the paladin has a silver lance. Since i never use him i'll just have someone from my starting party hold the lance. When Catria arrives hand over the lance. Also have Marth give her one of his potion stacks. The silver lance hits hard enough to make the wyverns disengage.
Woo it's on Switch Online now! I don't care if it's in Japanese, I can it play it portably on official Nintendo hardware. I've been following a script translation and am on chapter 16 of Book 1. I am completely obsessed, FE3 is an incredible experience!
"I kinda like Mystery of the Emblem more than Geneology or Thracia"
I fucking wonder why! I have yet to finish any of those, but my experience with GotHW makes me quite a lot more sympathetic to the simplicity of MotE.
Well of course Warren a great character, he even got a whole town named after him.
...played this game for the first time moire than 10 years ago, also with the old translation patch. It was such a good time and I came to love this game so much, as to even customize aspects of it to my liking for later playthrougs. Like making the enemies in the last chapters actually challenging for a trained party or letting certain units dismount into soldiers to lances can be used indoors more.
I think it's absolutely amazing. Shame some of those mechanics make it so slow to play.
I played it about half a year ago as part of my marathon of the whole series. I... liked it better than Dark Dragon, but not much more. The enemy AI in a lot of maps is shockingly simplistic and unaggressive, and the growth boosting items just frustrate my perfectionist soul due to me wanting to get as much exp on units who have them as possible (which is easy to do because, again, most enemies for a shocking portion of the game wait to be approached before they attack, so funneling whole maps into a single character is trivial). Most of what I appreciated about it was how it upgraded most QOL features compared to Gaiden and to a much greater extent Dark Dragon, but then later games in the series made those improvements more dated.
"Liberation" is fucking fire though. Love that song with all my heart.
