(8 pieces of visual work in total.)

I've heard its not really going to use much of that Wiimote motion sensing stuff, which I think is great, because Fire Emblem doesn't need that shit anyway. Cool stuff. Long live Fire Emblem.

Wow, looks pretty awesome. It looks like the Wiimote is all you need in terms of control. It also looks like it's going to use the NES-Wiimote Control scheme of sideways Wii too, since Buttons 1 and 2 are used. Then again, I don't think the series ever needed much more outside of 2 buttons and a d-pad.

Damn, it took them along enough! I'll be purchasing my Wii on the day it's released; hopefully it's released this year. I prefer the NES-style controls as well, so thank goodness IS didn't feel the need to add some useless control scheme.

Awwww snap, the Wyvern Rider in the second pic looks like JILL. <3 I hear a lot of the characters from the original return, including the . I seriously can't wait. I hadn't even considered owning a Wii until I heard this was coming out.

Only game I'll ever buy for it, confirmed.

Virtually every character returns in some capacity, even guys who had no roles (one of the primary antagonists is a guy who had maybe all of 30 seconds of screentime in Path of Radiance). I was wondering when they'd officially announce this.

Somewhat decent day of Nintendo news.

I've owned Path of Radiance for ages and I'm still only up to around mission 7. At least this is a good incentive to finally start playing it again.

Why are we talking about strategy gamesin the RPG Forum? Just because Fire Emblem has crappy storylines involving princesses and mercenaries, doesn't make it an RPG.

Because it's a Tactical/Strategy RPG. Notice that last part in the sentence there. I know you're dumb, but it can't be that hard to understand.

unless you really are that dumb, in which case i feel sorry for you

RABicle doesn't even know what Fire Emblem is, he just wanted to post here to sound cool. Don't worry about him.

Who here really knows Fire Emblem, though? It's an old series that's really only just begun in other regions.

The first Fire Emblem game I've played was Fire Emblem 4 (SNES), which just blew every single tactical RPG game since out of the water (save Final Fantasy Tactics).

As for being an RPG, I call most turn based game with some levelling system an RPG, so it fits my definition.

Anyways, this has only been announced right? Or is there a tentative release date already?

This game was announced back when the Wii launched. It was just given a release date of November 5th yesterday. Not far off, though I'd been hoping for a summer release.

Oh, well damn, that makes this news twice as sweet. I still need to find a Wii though. I've had no luck tracking one down since I got home from college.

I was hoping for a closer date, but Nov. 5th is fine. Hopefully, by that time it won't be too hard to find a Wii.

Hmm. It's released one month before Smash Bros., which means it'll mostly be ignored. That's too bad. :(

God fucking dammit! I went to Wikipedia to confirm if this was true:

I realized right now that I hadn't actually heard much about this character from fans and reports on the game. But, of course, the article they have for the list of characters casually tosses out this person's true identity.

So, yeah. The story is going to be awesome, so do yourself a favor and don't go to Wikipedia to read up on anything. You'll be doing so at your own risk!

Oh I see now! It's an RPG because you say so! How could I be so fucking stupid?

You are kidding right? I bought Path of Radience, played it for a few hours and promptly sold it based soley on how awful the story was. You cannot take bloody MERCENARiES talkinga bout justice and what is morally right. They're fucking SELL SWORDS, they kill people for money and somehow they managed to fill a whole game of them talking about ethics. What the fuck?
And then there's the fact that every Fire Emblem story boils down to the same thing: Good looking people fighting Ugly people. If one of the bad guys is good looking, you can be sure that he or she is questioning her orders or sympathetic to the goodies cause. It sickens me.

Pfft Path of Radience. THere was taht big guy right? i dunno he was the leader of your band of sell swords and like, I dunno we were in some cave and he and the bad chick found some inexplicable reason to leave and battle alone or some nonsense. He was a leader of the other side toow asn't he? Couldn't see taht shit a mile off.

You did at least read a story synopsis before you began arguing that it had a shitty story, right? Knowing Greil's background is sort of important to this. At the very least, it's easy to argue the Greil Mercenaries were so virtuous because the group consisted only of those who wanted to help people. Secondly, the Greil Mercenaries made a decent living protecting villages from bandits, so I don't see why they wouldn't play the good guys if they could make their living that way, too.

Look up some of the allies from Sword of Seals-- namely Niime, Dorothy, Gonzales, Barth, Bors, and Treck. Those are some ugly buggers right there. Anyway, the first 15 or so chapters always have the ugly fucks. After that, the enemies generally look as good or as normal are the hero's team.

No.

Yeah, I'm not following this. Why even single out Fire Emblem for these things when most of what you said are staples of JRPGS in general? Oh right, because you are a stupid fuck who says Fire Emblem isn't one (lol!) and then goes on to decide that the series is a piece of shit despite it's raging popularity in and OUT of Japan. My mistake. I thought I was discussing this with someone that mattered.

Generic really covered the rest, especially that last bit where you pretended to predict the storyline and ended up being completely wrong. Good show.

Fire Emblem plays out almost exactly like Advance Wars. It's a strategy game. I don't see why you guys think that me calling it a strategy game makes it any worse, I love strategy.

But I sure as hell don't play Fire Emblem for it's story. Sometimes I even get sore from cringing so much.

You didn't really answer me, though. Did you at least read a story synopsis? Even I'd admit that none of the Fire Emblems start off with any real originality.

Of course I didn't read it.

Few threads have seen one make a bigger jackass of oneself than RABicle in this one. Bookmarking now.

I love how you relate the quality of the series to its popularity.

I love how you pretend a series can do amazing in Japan and then be a raging success for the GBA when it finally comes out in America, along with each entry afterwards still selling 'good to excellent' and pretend that could be any sort of indication other than the series is good.

A lot of things sell well even if they aren't quality. Final Fantasy. Fords. Budweiser. iPods.

What's your fucking point?http://colonelskills.belkanairforce....ages/ace/1.gif
