Not only did they suffer as lackluster retellings of the beginning of the series, but only one of them was released globally. However, these games do have some redeeming qualities and are a relatively fun, if not overly simple, way to experience the series' origins. We made sure to kill off everyone else so that way we could recruit Professor Bopper and ActualLizard to talk about the highs and lows of Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon and Fire Emblem: New Mystery of the Emblem. ...2023-11-2956 minRPGaymerRPGaymerFire Emblem Awakening feat. ActualLizard and Mekkah! | BONUS XP 032Fire Emblem Awakening is often dubbed the savior of Fire Emblem series as things weren't looking good for one of our favorite tactics games. For better or worse, Fire Emblem Awakening introduced a lot of interesting new mechanics, like the pair-up system, while also reacquainting the series with offspring units. It's also known for its unbalanced gameplay that usually leads to playthroughs with only a handful of characters.

Mekkah & ActualLizard! | BONUS XP 031If you're a Westerner, it's very likely that you hadn't heard of the Fire Emblem series until the mid-2000s when Fire Emblem 7 was released outside of Japan. Though it was packaged as just 'Fire Emblem,' many were surprised to find that not only was it not the first title in the series but it was actually a prequel to its much more difficult sibling, FE6.

Professor Bopper and ActualLizard! | BONUS XP 029It's time for us to continue our run-through on the Fire Emblem series and this time we're hitting two games in one. Path of Radiance is coveted as one of the best (if not the best) Fire Emblem and it super sucks that it's system-locked (looking at you Intelligent Systems). It's hard to pin down a singular reason as to why this game was so successful (deep characters, rich lore, and a lot of unique systems).

All jokes aside, Sacred Stones is an incredible entry and often hits the top of most of Emblemer's Top 3 lists. What is it about this entry that makes it so appealing?
