Pros: Beautiful art design, One of the best games story wise in the series, has some fun dungeon exploring, has skill systems that are bound to the equipment you find in the game, lets you play at your own pace. Cons: Map design is awful, enemies love spamming you with the same unit type, Celicas route gives you very limited unit types making it much more tedious than necessary, Dungeons can be a nightmare to navigate, almost all characters have poor res growth so mages will constantly be annoying to everything except Mathilda and Dread fighters, SO MUCH SWAMP, summoners can keep swarming you with enemy units that give little xp, food and fatigue is pointless and tedious, You won't use half of your roster late game and the one enemy you want to kill all game has a weird mechanic making it difficult to do. But thats probably all worth seeing Delthea's snaggle tooth when she crits.

Every time Path of Radiance and Radiant Dawn weren't displayed on the screen I got a little bit more giddy! Such great games with incredible map design and world building!

I'm happy I somehow helped you to put the Thracia 776 in the top 5. To be honest those Thracia streams with you it was probably my fondest memories I have with anything Fire Emblem related I'm still gonna give you grief for saying TMS' combat is better than other SMT games.

I don‘t think, the number of routes in FE16 has anything to do with the low number of maps. My personal guess for the blame goes to the zoom in feature, as because of it every map had to be detailed to an unprecedented degree, making maps much more ressource intensive, for a waste of a feature that no-one uses for longer than a few minutes.

Even though I disagree with a lot of your list, it was so awesome to hear your thoughts on each and every Fire Emblem game! Thanks for taking the time to make it :)

I really like your arguments for all of these, great job! P.S. Started playing PoR a couple weeks ago, I always wanted to know more about Ike and the Tellius series, and I'm already loving it.

First time here. Your jokes are so funny, very good timing. Sharena supremacy got a giggle out of me. Edit: loved your list, was a little shocked by some of your choices. Then I realized it’s “your” list, awakening was my first FE game. So it’s definitely higher for me, but I was able to agree with some of your negative points. Great video :)

Another problem with Three Houses is it's Avatar. Byleth felt wired, he's his own character but screams self insert and probably made me not care for them that much unlike Robin and to an extent Corrin.

Big agree with your number 1. Path of Radiance is a true masterpiece, and I feel it is very underrated. The Black Knight? Ashnard?? The depth of this game is just amazing. A different style... that just doesn't really exist in the series anymore. I love Three Houses! But PoR was just pure art.

My favourite fire emblem game is Pokémon Conquest

I haven’t been this exited since Three Houses came out. It was my first Fire Emblem game. I liked the series since.

So, I’m sure you would know where the important stuff is. What supports would you recommend someone like me to see first for Blazing Blade and Sacred Stones.

I honestly think that Echoed is my own personal favorite. But thats mainly because of what they did by adding in Berkut and Fernand. They were some of the best written characters I’ve seen, and they add so much more to the story. It even gives us a really great lore dump for a certain antagonist in a different game that was much needed, and this really helped out so much.

I love Radiant Dawn for the exact same reasons you love Path of Radiance. I played it randomly in 4th grade, and have loved it ever since. I didn’t play path of radiance until 7-8 years later, so I can’t entirely relate. Great list regardless!

The maps are kinda junk of course I didn’t mind they are supposed to be like random fights in fields so it feels natural mages are a pain but it’s just more to think about. My one major complaint that I don’t have any reason to support them would be their terrible hit rates and wonky crit rates. Those suck.

HARD AGREE ON #1 I don’t know how or why but the whole time I played three houses I kept wishing I was playing Path of Radiance (which I’d played right before). Bigger maps aren’t always better and battles just felt more fun for some reason

So about your point about expanding on the exploration mechanic from 3H. I feel like Echoes did the exploration stuff better with the towns and the dungeon crawling. If they do expand on it, I’d hope they take more from that rather than the Persona style that 3H had.

Echoes is my favorite so far and I've played around half of them. Funny you mentioned your dad wanted a spiritual successor to Shining Force. That was what I played as a kid on my Genesis before I knew about fire emblem, such a masterpiece. We think a lot alike, top tier rating.

I really like your list. And even though FE1 is one of my favorite FE's, I respect your opinion.

@@Mamodxx the Reason for fate's sloppy story, is because the writers where trying to achieve too much with not enough time. Intelligents Systems had an idea for Fate to have three stories to appeal to everyone, but they realized that they didn't have enough writers. So they hired an outside writer, Shin Kibayashi was that writer. Intelligent Systems wanted Shin to write the outline for each pathway, what happened instead is that Shin wrote 500 pages for each pathway. Nintendo knew this was too long so they cut the story into pieces without the writers permission and the fact the Nintendo demanded Fates come on the Fire Emblem Anniversary only made things worse. Which resulted in this hilariously mess of a story. Not Helping matters is that Nintendo Treehouse didn't do a good job with Localization, so maybe that's why Corrin is portrayed as unintentionally unlikeable?????? The good news this that there is a manga based on Fates that is a little better. Its called Fire Emblem If: the Crown of Niberlung.

I love how you said bring out your ancient 3ds, when I just recently got mine out to finally finish sacred stones (ambassador program). I'm hoping to finally finish it as its the only FE game I've played and I haven't played it in over five years. Maybe ill play some of the others after too...

I am surprised that Three Houses didn't reach the top 5. I find it amazing and easily one of my top 3 best FE games. It has flaws that hold it back for me, but the good things about the game makes up for it. I do understand why you wouldn't put it as high as I expected, considering what it has done for the franchise. Maybe not as important as FE Awakening, which I think is also really good, but it is important as it did some things other games didn't do, like having battalion, interacting with other characters in the map and full voice acting. Path of Radiance is incredible too and possibly has one of the most badass villains and coolest FE lords in the franchise, that being Ike and the Black Knight. I do respect your opinion, but was just surprised of putting Three Houses at number 6. Not trying to bitch about it, as I do understand your point. Now have a good day.

I got shadows of Valentina yesterday which brought me here

Echoes is my favorite game of all time. I can’t explain it. I fell in love with it… The art, the music, the characters, story, gameplay… idk to me it’s a master piece.

It’s weird how differently we feel about conquest when I agreed with just about everything you said with it.

I'll keep this brief. Your criticisms of the FE7 plot being gated behind limited supports are valid. Better design would have allowed you to read every support, but still limited you to 5 supports for gameplay bonuses. Nergal is also pretty cartoonishly villainous without much depth on the first playthrough. Every game (and story) deserves an interesting villain. Where I draw the line is where you say "I just can't recommend FE7 because of these reasons." Because of the plot being gated and a narratively weak villain. This is pretty baffling to me. Those are gripes. They're not good reasons to not like an otherwise excellent tactical strategy game. It's like saying you can't recommend chess because there's no randomness to keep it interesting, or that you can't recommend a book because the paper of your copy had a weird texture. TL;DR: FE7 is a tactical strategy game. That's its genre. You can knock it for its less than stellar story, and that's a valid criticism (a better story makes a better game), but "can't recommend it" for that alone is ... just a bad take. If a game presents itself for its gameplay, you judge it on its gameplay.

THANK YOU for pointing out the issues with GBA supports. I hate how limiting they were. Especially 5. WHY NOT 6 SO YOU CAN A SUPPORT TWO UNITS. I love the number of supports, it's not overwhelming like modern FEs can be, but the limited access is sooo frustrating. And replayability is not an excuse. I don't replay for supports, I replay for gameplay, using different units etc. If I play once with someone like Lowen, and then replay the game to try using Bartre instead, I'm not getting a chance to look at Lowen's other supports I couldn't access. The GBA soundfont has its charms, but I agree with you on that too. But good lord its support system can die in a hole.

The only take I disagree on is making the Fire Emblem games have less replay value. The developers don't expect you to play through all three houses routes back to back but take some time inbetween them so that when you play through it again its something new.

Agree about Three Houses i definitely had some issues with the game but rather than making you buy three games as was the case in Fates they at least gave all the routes in a single package, this also gave the game a longer life as well.

Here's how I'd rank the games I've played, from worst to best: 20. *Fates: Revelation* 19. *Warriors* 18. *Heroes* 17. *Three Hopes - Golden Wildfire* 16. *Fates: Conquest* 15. *Fates: Birthright* 14. *Three Houses - Silver Snow* 13. *Engage* 12. *Shadow Dragon* 11. *Three Houses - Crimson Flower* 10. *Three Houses - Verdant Wind* 9. *Three Hopes - Scarlet Blaze* 8. *Awakening* 7. *Blazing Sword* 6. *Three Hopes - Azure Gleam* 5. *Echoes: Shadows of Valentia* 4. *The Sacred Stones* 3. *Three Houses - Azure Moon* 2. *Path of Radiance* 1. *Radiant Dawn* Really holding out hope that we'll get that FE4 remake announced soon.

i started the series with sacred stones, in fact the first video game i ever played was sacred stones on GBA, its a prized possession i have in a glass case with my OG GBA, and 2 AA batteries brand new in the packaging waiting for my son to play, but currently my wife and i are obsessed with three houses and replaying it over and over again, i still need to play SOV i have it but idk where the charger for my DS is lol
