FE7 & PoR are for sure great starting points with a tutorial & bonus experience respectively

I usually recommend fire emblem 7 when I try to brainwash people into the franchise as it's got a very solid tutorial in Lyn mode, which honestly most of the other games lack. Banger video btw

While I understand the reasoning behind it, I cannot disagree more with Fates Conquest being a first game in the series. A lot of the things that make the gameplay "good" are only really apparent if you have a solid grasp on the game's knowledge in advance (and a good head for SRPGs in general). Mechanics like joined attacks are introduced in a very unclear way during a part of the game where they're basically useless, and it's easy to cast them aside entirely in favor of the more-easily-used Pair Up. Moreover, a lot of the early characters like Odin and Arthur are often difficult to use well if you don't already have full plans for them, and that can easily lead to a lot of wasted resources in a game where they're not the most plentiful. This goes especially for child units. If you're starting out and just pairing people at random (or by who you feel like), it's more than likely you'll get child units with less-than-ideal stats, and perhaps more importantly, less-than-ideal skills. When doing a blind run, it's easy to get yourself into situations where your units just get overwhelmed and outstatted, even with a full 20/20 set of royals. It's a feeling that persists throughout the game, and it hits especially hard in the lategame maps. Conquest's Endgame map is just brutal if you don't know exactly what to do, and the lack of a save point before it makes a first run through it extra painful. I mainly bring this up because Conquest was my second ever Fire Emblem (after Birthright), and it was easily one of the most frustrating experiences with an FE game that I can recall, so much so that I even enjoyed my Revelations run more than it. or maybe i'm just bad tbh who knows

No your absolutely right. For me its my first time playing FE Conquests Im at chapter 26 and boy its mad hard because unit that needed to be planed are not, thus I have a lot of useless unit who deals no damage who are out leveled but that I must play anyway.

I like not making late game miserable so I will NOT be ironmaning and I WILL use reset. Thank you for the rest of the info, though.

All in all, a pretty decent introduction to the series. Good work dood.

Personally I think it's better to start any videogame franchise from its first entry (if possible), though I'm a bit biased since FE1 was my first FE and I love it lol

telling new players to iron man on their first game will make them hate it most of the time.

Hey, i liked the video, but if you every make a video like this again it would be very useful to talk about the action economy and general choices you can make in the game. On your turn, what can you do? Move and attack? Take an action, which can be a move, attack, or spell? Do the enemies get the same choices? Do some allies get more options? What key differences makes allies play differently? Is combat rng based? Things like that.

Yeah I have never had a character die and not reset lol, like literally I had a character die on the last turn of the final map of the Church route to a 3% crit with no divine pulses left. You bet your ass I reset that map.

Just watching random FE videos because I'm excited for Engage, and I gotta say I love the opening! "How did you get in my house" haha

Thanks man, I discovered I really love SRPGs during a boring night with a SEGA Genesis compilation, but when I picked up Awakening I found it was INFINITELY more complex than any of the three Shining Force games that got me into the genre. But knowing all this, and playing on classic mode with perma-death, is actually far more interesting than Shining Force BECAUSE of all those variables. Even the generic-ass anime high fantasy JRPG story is slowly getting me invested just because of how much I don't want to lose units, and that makes me care about these characters I would otherwise not give a shit about and throw to the front lines until I made it through. It's really cool to see gameplay aiding the presentation and narrative like that, and the relationships mechanic adds a whole other layer of replayability and investment in the characters, it reminds me of Phantasy Star III's system of your characters having multiple generations and your kids are based on how you fostered your party members' relationships and the characters you were able to get to FUCK.

A bit off topic here, I'm one of the few who played fe engage Spoilers: The end credit what happens in the future section was just sad. One of the first people you meey are said to have passed early, another character also your sister which qas also on the big bads side makes the evil teritory habitable and becomes the ruler of it ALMOST ALL of your friends die. Not only that, its made worse by the game trying to add in words that try to make you feel better about it.

i am convinced I have no idea what I'm doing in Fire Emblem. I die, constantly, level ups seem extremely rare and 2-3 missions in, I hit a roadblock on every single game in this series I've ever tried where I have NO IDEA what I am doing wrong. Take three houses for example. I literally can't get past the 4th mission. Ever. And with permadeath turned on, I lose everyone and i have to start the whole game over again. How the fuck do you play these games?!

@lisawinter489

Play without Perma Death to get a grasp of all the possibilities the game offers. It isnt as punishing and you will get through most missions, it still requires some planing but not to the same extend as a perma death run. Fire Emblem in classic is quite overwhelming for a beginner, especially certain games like Fates Conquest.

@@zylokun Well i guess paying attention to the resistance and defense of the enemies and therefore choosing which unit should attack. In the early game you just have to keep doing chip damage and the final blow should be dealt by the unit you want to level up the most i guess. In general i would suggest to pay attention to your positioning and the range of the enemies, for example keeping your healers out of the enemies attack range. The beginning in three houses is rather slow but just do your assignment and battles outside of your mission. The last tip is to not reclass your units until they mastered their current class, since they will gain universal abilities like Hp +5 and so on. Playing on easy and no perma death should help a ton anyway.

No the xp grind is 100 percent accurate. Don’t start on those two

I have to say, I don't think Genealogy is a game that represents core fe very well. Individual gold and zero trading by itself and all of it's ramifications(villages, arena, selling and buying weapons) already shifts the gameplay so far away the traditional gameplay. And then you add on inheritance, skills, the bajilion secret events, and the massive maps that take multiple hours to beat. Even though the story is grand, I can't see that game being at all a good introduction into what this series is. Everything else I liked tho :)
