A great game. Interesting fighting mechanics. Never quite understood the weird class change shrine or whatever that was though, the patch i downloaded some time ago is not complete it would seem (patch: J2e Version 97b2). Btw does anyone know if there are other more recent patches/translations for this game? Everytime I make a search I find a different one. The original site where I found the patch is gone. Strange.
This game is more like Shining Force than FE8. In fact, the release dates between the two was six days apart, with Gaiden releasing on March 14, 1992, and Shining Force releasing the 20th.
So any Force fanboys out there who say Force was the first, you're WRONG!
although the two games are in fact similar. I just recently brought Sonic Ultimate Genesis collection on the 360 and played this game and thought to myself: "Wow, this reminds me of Fire Emblem."
Fire Emblem is the father of SRPG Video Games, even though it only changes little by little with each game, its still my favorite SRPG series of all time
Later in the game, Alm can cast lightning bolts WITHOUT THE COST OF ANYTHING! However, he won't slash anymore. Celica has more potential than Alm, but some of her moves require HP. She can cast lightning bolts, fire balls and a green wheel of fire that can easily defeat dragons. She also can heal her partners. For her sword slashing, it's slow, but powerful.
This game was so fun. Played it when it first came out on the Famicom and it was the BEST strategy/rpg game of its time! Man, the hours i put in this game. Good memoirs...
@dagoost and also monsters...these are the only two fe games to feature non-human units at some point (excluding laguz and dragons, who at some point were humanish)
Love the enemy phase battle music epic its in own right

@danexgen at the beginning of the video it says 1991, so just count back to that year from the present and there's your answer.

i looked stuff about this game and it is just plain weird and wats this bullshit about sacrificing hp to use spells why not mp
gamerdude535 2 years ago
Because magic is overly powerful if you don't use something like health as compensation.
Neophoenixfire 2 years ago 4
But yeah, that's pretty weird anyways, because no other FE game uses health to be able to use magic.

@WhyFi59 Unless you count Miracle in the Radiance saga.
Sacrifice health to heal allies.

Fire Emblem rocks! It may not get the same respect as Final Fantasy, but it's still a great RPG turn based strategy game.

Lightning bolts must be the Thunder Sword item. That always has an ATK rating of 15, but counts as a magic attack.
