The new Fire Emblem demo was released today. Fire Emblem is not my favorite series of this genre (I’m looking at you FFT and Tactics Ogre), but at least Nintendo keeps making new ones unlike the scrooges at Square Enix. The demo is good enough to get me to buy the game in February. I like that more thought has been put into pairing up. Being side-by-side confers stat advantages and possible extra actions. And sharing a space allows for bigger stat gains instead of the old “carry” which reduced stats.
One of my biggest dislikes of the series was that the character classes couldn’t change, but according to previews I’ve read, that’s changed with this game. Similar to FFT, once you learn a skill, you can keep it even when you switch classes. It’s moving closer and closer to the style of FFT while retaining some of the classic Fire Emblem flavor.
I don’t think we’ve had a Fire Emblem thread before so feel free to share about any of the previous iterations as well.
