Not yet, I would expect an announcement this year.

New Fire Emblem for DS!
- Thread starter Tenbatsu
- Start date
Yeah, I could probably get through Mania if I wanted to. But I refuse to play any difficulty that equates "More interface issues" with difficulty. Removing the "Enemy can attack here" overlay button in Radiant Dawn's Hard Mode isn't making the game harder. It's just screwing over the player for no good reason. I can count, you know, but I get annoyed when I have to because they decided to cut a useful interface feature and call that hard. Double the stats and numbers of the enemies for all I care, (or triple as the case may be in Lunatic) but hands off the interface.mjemirzian said:
Sorry, just a pet peewee of mine. Harder difficulties should be harder on the characters, not the player. Removing interface features is just uncalled for.
Totally agree. I'm pretty average in Fire Emblems, but would like to try harder than Normal modes. But I just didn't bother with Hard mode in Radiant Dawn for more than the first mission because of this reason you mentioned. Not sure how it was in PoR, only played it through twice on normal and once on easy I think.McNum said:
Anyway, this game I might buy if I can find it cheap somewhere. The GBA FEs I have aren't that good IMO, not sure how this compares to them.

Yeah I thought removing the interface for RD Hard was pretty lame too.
This is definitely a quality FE with lots and lots of content. About 35-36 chapters total.
After tooling around with Lunatic and Lunatic Reverse as a Knight, Cavalier, and Fighter, I'm almost certain that the Knight has the lowest turn count on both Lunatic and Lunatic Reverse, provided you reload for SPD growths so he doesn't get doubled. I found the best knight build for prologue turn count to be +2 STR, +1 DEF, and +SKL/SPD. This lets him finish P1 in 4 turns. His knight growths will be 45 STR, 65 SKL, 45 SPD, and 55 DEF. Reloading for a 45% SPD proc is easy to do in the first few prologues because they take 1 min or less to complete. You don't have to reload for his other stats as long as they aren't getting RNG screwed.
The first noticeable chapter for the knight is Prologue 4 vs Athena. He can quickly grind the enemies to dust, clearing in 4 turns and recruiting Athena. The Fighter and Cavalier just can't muster the knights ridiculous DEF to pull this off no matter how good their growths are. This theme repeats in P7 vs Cain where he can stand on the middle fort and almost solo the entire map. Finally in P8 he can literally chain pull the stationary bandits and hunters while handling the incoming reinforcements at the same time, leading to a very fast clear.
Knight seems like the easiest and most efficient choice to plow through the Lunatic Reverse prologue.

With this allowed betrayal to its own principles, Fire Emblem Shin Monshô no Nazo is playing the "retirement savings plans" card, a label that summarizes very well the few risk Nintendo took . Those who easily beated FE : Shadow Dragon will have the time or their life. But for those seeking a little more epic feelings, lets hope the next remaked Nintendo has planned will be Fire Emblem : Seisen No Keifu and Thracia 776, generally considered the best in the series. In the meantime, this one will do the trick, strong material for demanding gamers.
+ the Fire Emblem gameplay, a real challenge
+ these salutary savepoints
+ always difficult, even on normal
+ very rich
- once again, not pretty at all
- the custom character, meh
- Fire Emblem with revived characters ? mmm...
- maybe a new game now, huh?
7/10

What do they mean by this? I think it was possible to revive characters in every one of the first four games, so is that really a problem?

And this is one of the games Nintendo plans to keep the DS going with?
I realize they have Kirby and Fossil Fighters 2, but this sounds like a joke.

Like I said I think they are probably going to release it next year since they claim they want to support the DS for as long as possible.Ezalc said:
Maybe Last Window will get a chance over here?
Fire Emblem, Pokémon BW, Last Window, Fossil Fighters 2, Kirby...

I wrote a review for this game a few weeks ago. 9/10 Check it out.
I'm pretty confident that it will be localized sometime between now and the 3DS NA release.

Maybe. They usually announce localized FEs pretty close to the actual release.. from what I recall anyway.Foffy said:
If the 3DS NA launch comes and goes without an announcement it may be trouble.

Nintendo did say they were going to be localizing games already released in Japan.
I figure this & the other Starfy game might be released. Fossil Fighters 2 as well.
Guys, remember Nintendo doesn't like to announce release dates until 2 months before the release. Just hold out a while longer.

All/most of the support and base convos are new afaik. My Unit has unique dialogue lines depending on the personality traits you chose for him or her. There's a bunch of dialogue when using Everybody's Situation. As for the main story I'm not exactly sure but I'm pretty sure they work My Unit in there.. there is new dialogue when my unit and other new characters attack certain bosses. Might be some other stuff I missed, since I only know enough Japanese to read the menus and etc. Suffice it to say, there's a ton of added character development in the support and base convos alone.Legendary Warrior said:
Yeah, that's my belief as well.MidnightScott said:

Still no news on an English language version of this? 
I'm going through Fire Emblem withdrawal symptoms.

I was beginning to forget my FE love, now I will lust for it. Darn. :-(
Don't forget Kirby and Fossil Fighters 2.Ushojax said:
I'm not that optimistic about this one, though. None of the previously localized Fire Emblem games have had that much space between their Japanese and US releases... assuming we're talking a post-E3 release.
(A fairly abrupt announcement and release in the next 3.5 months isn't totally impossible, though, given Nintendo's awesome lineup of one announced game for the entirety of Q2.)
Gameplay-wise I don't really think they ever found comfortable balance between them and humans.DonMigs85 said:
If it means more catgirls, though, I'm all for them trying it again.
I was doing fine until my brother said something about me not playing a FE game in months and then someone bumps this thread.Ezalc said:I'm also going through Fire Emblem withdrawal symptoms.
I have so much on my backlog but fuck it, I might just play PoR for the 8th time.
