I played 2 on Famicom and I loved it

then I played 1 and I liked it but damn that inventory management

Then I played the sequel/remake of 1 on SNES, I beat the remake part and it was good, then I dropped this fucking retarded series for good during the sequel part. Who thought it was a good idea to make every 2 mission "time based" by having unbeatable hordes of OP enemies chasing the player all around the map, leading to "play exactly the one way the dev want you to" territory

FE4 is the best. Big sprawling maps, an actual good compelling story, made before the game became for nu-weebs and is for classic 90s weebs, gameplay that filters the plebs but rewards the strategic, the contrarian pick, the best music, the best art direction, the cahracters

Heyoo just beat it
On the last boss I would've game overed if Hector didn't hit a 75 chance to hit lol, I could've probably played it safe and rescued the old wizard guy out after attacking, healing him up, then sending him back in again and again but I yoloed everyone in and it worked out fine

Only unit I lost was Raven on like the third to last mission, I had him soloing a bunch of burly axe wielders and one of them had a swordreaver I didn't notice, and they one shot him and it was so late in the mission that I just said fuck it - Sorry Priscilla, your brother isn't coming home with us
My all time best unit was Oswin, he had capped defense and like 25 speed so he could just solo most maps with a javelin. Unfortunately Heath flew right into him and died instantly so he was one of the ones I failed to recruit. There was definitely a handful more I failed to recruit just because I didn't know how and wasn't following any kind of guide.
Also Canas, Pent and Erk just fuckin hard carried me through some of the late game, having units that can heal, attack at range but also counter shit in melee range was absurdly good.

Fun game, I'll have to play the fan translation of Binding Blade eventually since this game literally ends with leading directly that - which is weird for a prequel to do that so aggressively and double weird for a prequel to a game that never came out in the west.

I cant play this game anymore because I always resort to farming the first floor of the tower to max out level 20 base job characters then evolve them every time. I cant help myself because it makes too much sense to do because of my autistic efficient tendencies.

Once you hit mission 10 and have access to a few job advancement items, you cant just power farm the 1f tower with a vanguard with no weapons and funnel all xp to 1 character. It makes the mid to late game a fucking joke.

The whole series isn't connected and if you're just getting into it I wouldn't go back further than the GBA. Saying that it's stupidly complicated when you look at it closely. 2 is a side story to 1. 3 is a remake and a sequel to 1. 5 is a midquel to 4 where the entire game takes place between three chapters of 5's story. 7 is a prequel to 6. 8 is completely standalone. 9 and 10 are one complete setting and story. 11 is a remake of 1. 12 is a remake of 3 but without the part being a remake of 1. 13 is a sequel to 1 and 2 taking place hundreds of years ion the future. 14 is actually 3 different games. 15 is a remake of 2 and 16 is stand alone for now.

as long as you dont start with mystery of the emblem, thracia 776, radiant dawn, gaiden (echoes), or fates, you should be good. the first 3 are sequels that should be played after their first game, and the other two are a bit of an awkward start.

Fire Emblem 3 is the best place to start as far as I'm concerned, being able to play a snes remake of the original with faster gameplay and better ui and inventory management is a real treat. FE1 is such an amazing game that sets the stage for everything that the series is gonna build upon moving forward. Even with the cut chapters The snes version is more than worth it especially with Mystery of the Emblem already being a full fire emblem game to begin with. Starting here you get to expierence each game in the series and see how it's progressed as time went on, the only exception being Gaiden of course.

I can only agree about the combat animations. Path of Radiance is a step up from Sacred Stones but still worse than 7

1-5 are all the same universe as is 13, but 13 had a completely writer from the first 5 games so it has continuity errors. 4-5 are the start of the timeline, then 1000 years pass with 1-3, then thousands of years for 13. 6-7 are connected, 9-10 are connected, 11-12 & 15 are remakes that alter the story a bit of 1 & 3 & 2 respectively, a 8, 14, and 16 are all stand alone.

Don't listen to >>9210714, that's a really bad take. They aren't bad games but they aren't faithful contrary to what people would tell you. If you absolutely don't want to play 1, there's a remake of 1 on 3 (Mystery of the Emblem) on the SNES. Book 1 is the remake of FE1 and is without a doubt the most faithful remake in the series (it isnt perfect though) with Book 2 being the sequel. If you beat Book 1 without anyone dying you get bonuses for Book 2 that dont exist in its remake.

Other than that? Just don't play Thracia 776 or Radiant Dawn first because they require knowledge of their previous games, genealogy of the holy war and path of radiance, to be properly enjoyed. Every other game is a good starting point, people whine a lot about these games when they're all fine. Even Gaiden.

My personal recommendations are based off of different categories are this:

"I want to play a game where I can grind"
Play Gaiden if you want it the grinding to feel more tangible
Play Sacred Stones if you want an easy time
Play Awakening if you just want to mutilate the game.

"I don't want to grind but I want to keep all my units alive"
Play Genealogy of the Holy War, you get 4 save slots and can save at the start of every turn so resetting is quick.
"I want more of a consequence for resetting or I want to keep units dead"
Play Shadow Dragon & The Blade of Light or Mystery of the Emblem. If you want the series signature weapon triangle with that, play Binding Blade or Blazing Sword, or Path of Radiance.

All these games have fan translations or official english releases so they are all accessible.

Which also has absolutely nothing to do with anything in FE6 despite being marketed as a prequel. At most, you get a few FE6 characters making cameos and a little more insight about how Zephiel got to be so fucked up in the head.

Except they even make that more confusing by having the king of Bern act like a prick to Zephiel at the start, then seem to love and accept him, then to just bounce back so hard he tries to kill him in the epilogue

Fair point. If anything, FE7 feels like it was hastily and badly rewritten to be in the same setting as FE6 when it was originally supposed to be its own unique thing.

I've been looking for an English translation as, as far as I can tell, it only has an official Japanese release and they all look shoddy/questionable. Is the DS version any better? I assume I have to play Shadow Dragon and then get a fan translation for the DS remake of the rest of the game (which is a separate game only released in Japan).

Jesus people say FF is messy but this series' release's are just a complete clusterfuck.

Your post makes me wonder, how many characters do people actually use in FE per playthrough? I usually end up using only 8-10 that I like and completely shelving the rest.
