i love the fire emblem series! i own and have beaten the one for gba and sacred stones. and i have a couple ROMS of the SNES version. ive only translated one though, and i just havent gotten around to playing it. i also played one for the NES thats pretty fun. its like a mix between fire emblem and an rpg. i have path of radiance but its nowhere near as good as the 2d versions. the character animations are pretty half-assed and with the gba if one of your characters dies you can just turn the game off and restart. but with the gamecube you have to get up and turn it off and then turn it back on and then skip through all the ads etc etc.

Actually there is a way to restart it with the controler i believe, you can do the same for Final Fantasy Tactics.

Personally my problem with those games, is they need higher difficulty levels... there are few fights that are challenging, and most of themn are challenging because i want to get a new character or soemthing, or catch a theif before he runs off the screen.

I was pissed once i found out my theif couldn't evolve into an assassin... how retarded.

I'm pretty sure for FFT at least... you can restart the game by holding R1, R2 and L1, L2, as well as start adn select all at the same time...

And if you have athe GBA/DS version there is way to restart any fire-emblem game on there too.. it's like AB, with start select all held down together at the same time. (something like that for the DS)

I think i liked the one before sacred stones better... and yes it's like FFT... it's better in some ways worse in other ways.

I liked some of the class combos in FFT, and the graphics and story-line were alright...

And the GBA fire-emblem just had some neat characters, and some cool moves, that i liked about it. It also had some tricky battles.. like i remember a battle this may have been in Path of Radiance for the GC., but the only way to get this character, was to use character to walk up behind your main character, and do a move called like push or something.. and push your main character like 3 times or so, using most of your guys to do it, then when it was his turn (ike's i think) he would only then be able to walk up and reach this guy so you can talk to him, and convert him to your team, while at the same time saving him from dying.

If you didn't get that byu like the second turn or something, he basically died, the battle was on a ship... So they have some fun stuff like that going on, also one thing over tactics, is that choke points are more readily usable, it was harder in tactics to block foes in... As far as beign able to beat the game it wasn't that hard, but it was fun... I also think you could have more people than you could use in FFT, not posistive though...

I'd recommend playing it if you liked FFT, their comparable games, in both play style, and quality... can't diecide what i liked better.
