I recently finished Fire Emblem: PoR and liked it quite a bit, and hope that Nintendo continues to make FE entries for their home consoles. How well did it sell?

That is all.

oh and PoR, while good, really could have been a lot better I think. defintely not the pinnacle of the series and the look was incredibly bland in execution

Oblivion said:Good numbers. So we're seeing 300k worldwide? Not bad, and I assume Nintendo in the very least broke even. Hopefully we see another one for the Rev.

Fire Emblem: Sealed Sword GBA 345,574 (2002)
Fire Emblem: Rekka no Ken GBA 265,286 (2003)

Japanese numbers BTW.
I agree, although I'm torn as to whether I prefer the branching classes or the "pick a second ability" upgrade style.ethelred said:However, I will grant you that there are still a lot of ways they can continue to make the series better. Since IntSys developed Path of Radiance and Sacred Stones simultaneously, I'd like to see them combine the gameplay additions from both games into the next installment (as well as introducing some new stuff, too, natch).
Yeah, but at least FE still sells relatively well there, as opposed to poor AW and its 20-60k self...It's interesting that, like Advance Wars, the Fire Emblem series has seemingly become more popular in America than Japan.

Shouta said:For a comparison, Berwick Saga: Lazberia Chronicle 174 from Enterbrain and FE's Creator Shozo Kaga did 177,202 copies sold last year. So yeah, FE still does well over there but it did get beat by a rival series for the console release.
Maridia said:What would be the best game to get into the series with?
AniHawk said:The second GBA game is the easiest to go into. Quick level ups, world map, branching upgrade levels.

I'm rather optimistic for a good iteration of Fire Emblem franchise over NintendoDS hardware; instead I don't think Revo technology is good enough for Fire Emblem.ziran said:i think na sales will end up over 200k, which is great for a srpg franchise.
fire emblem sales have declined in japan since the snes, but that really doesn't mean anything in the scheme of things, because so has everything else in the face of the declining japanese videogames market and as has already been mentioned, the gc's user is relatively small.
iirc japan also had a hits re-release late last year, i don't think it sold much, but enough to bump the total over 160k. worldwide i'd guess the game will top 400k.
for me path of radiance was possibly the best game this gen and an all out masterpiece of strategy design. can't wait to see what intsys has planned for the series.

in a localisation interview a while back a guy said there are 3 teams at intelligent systems. one for paper mario, advance wars and fire emblem. not that these are fixed, but it sounds like they are capable of developing 3 games at once. also intsys had a hand in the last two warioware games.D3VI0US said:PoR grabbed me like no game has in a long time. It was my first FE and I hope a Rev version comes out soon cause I don't play handhelds really, I'm still working on Advance Wars and I've had it since it came out. Anyone have any idea what if anything Intelligent Systems might be working on for Rev?

there have been several rumours suggesting a new online version of advance wars is development for the ds, one that is supposed to make very good use of the ds's unique features, possibly due for release at the end of the year.
i expect a new fire emblem game is already in development, but as for what system, i don't know. it could be rev or ds.
firex said:I've only played the 3 FE games released over here, but this is my favorite. I like a lot of the features it has over the 2 GBA games we got in english:
1) Leveling up to level "21" for class advancement if you don't have a master seal
2) Removal of specific class upgrade items, replaced by the catch-all master seal (allows you a lot more customization in leveling up your army)

I was actually talking aboutevery mage user except soren, no secondary healers wtf. Mist is HORRIBLE and the first myrmidon -girl. and brom, and kieran is so-so.
Danthrax said:Yeah.Worthless. I'm still playing through the game (finished ch. 13) and I don't even want to bother with him, I have to babysit his ass so much.That kid archer?
PoR is very good, but very hard. >-(
BudokaiMR2 said:Wait did you mix up the names?Shinnon is the arrogant bastard that comes back later in the game. Rolf is the kid.
My only problem with PoR were the Laguz, I just didn't like using them at all. Some were cool and at least they added something new, but they just weren't for me.
Jefklak said:Check beezys post, he's one of the best. I did not mix up the names
laguz is intresting story, i like them. Many of those recuits are crappy but.Lethe is my best char damn she takes on +20 and dodges 99% of 'em
By the way if one of you are using the brothers:DONT TAKE AXE OR SWORD AS SECOND WEAPON FOR YOUR PALLY! if you use bows, rolf oscar and boyd can perform a combo attack. I was VERY stupid

ethelred said:Are you kidding? He is a fantastic character. Amazing speed and critical chances, and pretty good strength as well.
Anyway, my hope is that Intelligent Systems is currently working on Paper Mario 3 (for Rev), Advance Wars DS 2, Fire Emblem DS, and Fire Emblem Rev.I need more Fire Emblem for both handhelds and home ocnsoles. And hopefully once they get the first FE DS up and running, they can follow the GBA route and quickly pump out a few awesome sequels by reusing the engine.
