Fire Emblem: The Goddess of Dawn

[acphydro]

You normally won't find me complementing the ps3, but RPG's is all I'm getting it for. RPG's are hands down my favorite genre, while Nintendo consoles get a few rpg like games, they mostly dont compare to what is available on the other two consoles. Just my opinion though, your mileage may vary.

Oh, just a small notice, Japan had released the Fire Emblem Goddess of Dawn trailer just around 39 hours agao. Go to youtube or gametrailers to check it out. It's awesome!!

So yeah, have fun reading this. If this information is old to you, please keep it to yourself. There is no need for you to announce it to the world.

I am quite interested in this game, having played the gba fire emblem, and enjoying both rpgs and strategy games. However it does seem to be more of a japanese franchise, so I wouldn't hold your breath over an american/europe release until 2008

 

[Blackjack]

2008? What are you talking about?
It is coming out in NA in Q3 roughly. It's already anounced its coming out, and I agree though, Fire Emblem isn't as big as it is in Japan, but that doesn't mean its not big here.
The past Fire Emblem games like PoR and Sacred Stones and a few other ones, have all been released in America 6 months after they were released in Japan. so Expect this game in August or September.

I've never played Fire Emblem or a full RPG before (I don't count Zelda as an RPG...I mean really guys its an Adventure Game). So I'm tempted to get it but from what I've read on IGN its not really much of an upgrade in terms of graphics and other things. Heres the article if you're interested in reading it: http://wii.ign.com/articles/767/767088p1.html

I dunno I'm really torn now. It seems like a really involved game that has a great storyline so I might just f*ck it, take a chance, and buy it. However it doesn't even use the Wiimote a lot, I didn't play Path of Radiance so I might be totally clueless as to whats going on in the game, and chances are another Fire Emblem game will come out in the future for the Wii right? What do you guys think?

 

[SuperSmasher025]

If Fire Emblem continues to stay a popular franchise, chances are they will be more games in the future.

You can probably get away with not playing PoR (it wasn't that great anyway). If there's essential info you need to know, the game should provide it to you (or just come here and ask someone).Don't listen to IGN because you can't really incorporate Wiimote controls without it being gimmicky. Yes, there's "point and click" but it doesn't have any advantage over using classic controls (if anything it's more annoying to use). Also, there is a graphical improvement (especially with still cut-scenes) but not that much.

Try GoD yourself and don't let gaming sites steer you away from this game. GoD is really shaping up to be a kickass game and much better than PoR. Go ahead and get this because I don't see another FE coming on the Wii until late 2009/2010.

EDIT: I read the preview and it's typical IGN, with its bitching about how the graphics suck. Don't listen to that.

 

[MasterJedi2U]

Thanks yeah I don't like IGN like 95% of the time but they did seem to know what they were talking about in the article so I decided to give em a LIL credit cuz in some aspects they are right. However you have point too about the next FE game coming out in 2009 or w/e. It looks to be a really fun game so I'm gonna pick it up.

 

[Farid]

i`ll go for it

 

[MasterJedi2U]

Umm this might be a stupid question and I apologize if it is. Its just that I've never played a FE game before and I don't know how they work. So my question is for the AMERICAN version will the voices and words of the characters be in English? Along with the subtitles at the bottom? Or will it just be English subtiltes and Japanese voices/speech? Please answer cuz this actually is a big factor in whether I'll get the game or not.

 

[Blackjack]

Yes, The words and what they say in the little cutscenes will be in English. It's all English, so no need to worry.

 

[MasterJedi2U]

THANK YOU! God that makes me feel a whole lot better now...:thumbsup:

 

[SuperSmasher025]

Well, I have the American release date. Fire Emblem will be released on August 3, 2007. Just wait 4 months and its here! Yay!!!
