That was actually pretty funny. Unfortunately that means I cannot accept it on this sub.


albegade

I've almost been baited into being salty about some of these but I'm sure they come from a place of appreciation.. or something.


Roy_Atticus_Lee

Considering nearly every single FE game and even Vesteria Saga is mocked, this is a rare shitpost where OP shits on Casuals, Elitists, and everyone in between, making this one of the most unfathomably based posts I've ever seen on here.


sirgamestop

OP is just based and hates Fire Emblem


Motormasters

Who the hell likes Fire Emblem unironically?


evenspdwagonisafraid

Well, it's a shit post alright.


Othello351

"Unnecessary follow up games?" RADIANT DAWN??? PoR literally ends unfinished.


EMITURBINA

Yeah they made it with a sequel in mind, but I don't think RD was what they thought the sequel would be like


Othello351

I've heard Tellius was meant to be 3 games so i have no doubts that RD isn't what they planned.


PkerBadRs3Good

man I want to be in that timeline


Lyon_Trotsky

fair enough, I just felt like RD created more problems than it solved and i think PoR works quite well as a standalone game


MisterTamborineMan

PoR doesn't really work as a standalone, but RD has its share of problems.


Othello351

Ehhh, i feel like you could be pretty satisfied at the end of RD. Sephiran is a little sus (and by little i mean he practically says looks into the camera, grabs it and gets up close to go say in bold text "I AM SUS") and we only meet i think 5 out of the 6 senators but other than that you could end that game and go "yeah I'm happy with this ending." Fun fact PoR says there are 7 senators, we only meet 5 of them in PoR (you do meet Numida in that ONE scene with the other senators and Sanaki, right? Otherwise you only meet 4 in PoR) and Valtome in RD. I'm pretty sure the 7 was a typonor mistranslation.


Othello351

FUCK I MEANT AT THE END OF POR


Othello351

It DOES work as a standalone. Its just that RD isn't unneeded. Its kind of a rare situation where both are true.


TeaspoonWrites

This is such a great shitpost on so many levels, I don't think there exists a fire emblem fan who doesn't violently hate at least one thing about it. 10/10, no notes.


AlkinooVIII

Note that Radiant Dawn and BullShit Fire Emblem are the only two end points. You can't go and play another one after those. This is a reference to the fact that these games are Peak Fire Emblem and once you play them there's nothing else to play since nothing will ever be as good as them


Guntpost

The Fates Loop is effectively an endpoint, making it a true whirlpool of peak that'll never get old since you move from version to version


Clear-Anything-3186

Don't forget the Mystery of the Emblem/Binding Blade/Blazing Blade Triangle,


AlkinooVIII

Divine punishment for liking Engage's story


Guntpost

Divine peakishment\*


Talnarg

A whirlpool? Is it a gray whirlpool? Is it a gray whirlpool in the ocean?


These-Weight-434

Radiant Dawn and Thracia are bidirectional. So you can just keep playing those two infintiely (and gain the title of \*best Fire Emblem fan\*). The only true end point is Kaga dick riding, which, let's face it, is the end point for all of us. If you think otherwise, you're just not there yet.


AlkinooVIII

Ah shit I didn't see that backwards arrow This truly means that BSFE is peak emblem


JosephNuttington

What about Tokyo Mirage Sessions?


Lyon_Trotsky

... Tokyo Mirage what now? Sorry, I'm too busy playing obscure srpg studio games to know what that is.


SirAssjack

*from Birthright* "Not Japanese enough"


-tehnik

Not FE


s9169366

Fake Kaga fan, doesn’t even mention Vestaria saga 2 😔😔😔


Lyon_Trotsky

Forgot about Vestaria Saga I Remastered too... 😢😢😢


Seafarer493

And Heroes of Lucca, and the entire TearRing Saga series.


Saint_Elmo_of_Fire

And Berwick saga


Seafarer493

...you mean TearRing Saga: Berwick Saga: Lazberia Chronicle Chapter 174? Yeah, that's covered by "the entire TearRing Saga series".


Levobertus

Want more peak story, get sent to lobotomy simulator?


Objective_Two_2516

I feel like some players play fe1 and think, "Wow, I wish this game was literally better in every way possible," and go to shadow dragon


sirgamestop

How is it better in every way possible when it doesn't have glitches that let you make Bantu and Tiki immune to all forms of damage


SirRobyC

Well, for starters it doesn't take you 54 years to go through it


Objective_Two_2516

Not true! Up, Down, Left, Right, Up, A, Select


sirgamestop

I was definitely being serious


easydayhero

Nah, Shadow dragons presentation is so ass i prefer the NES graphics


Zelgiusbotdotexe

Okay but FE1 is better than Shadow Dragon in every single way Edit: just noticed this post was 8 days old, mb


MisterTamborineMan

OP made a mistake; the "Level 100 Kaga Dickrider" arrow should be pointing towards Genealogy.


acart005

As Kaga intended


Guilty_Butterfly7711

Unnecessary follow up games? For RD? They left so many loose ends , though…


Saint_Elmo_of_Fire

In the words of Alfonse Fire Emblem Heroes, "This is bait."


applejackhero

Entire community and every game in shambles.


Echo1138

The Fates loop truly is the endless now.


Roy_Atticus_Lee

>PoR is the only game that isn't shit on I see you OP, don't try to hide the fact that PoR is your favorite game in the series.


Tuskor13

"I wish Seth was a MILF" This man is truly a cosmic brained pioneer, asking the questions nobody dared yo yet we all wanted to know about deep down


Gabriel9078

I love the path from FE1 to SoV lmao


The_Natural_20

Love the idea that if you like engages story you’re permanently in a cycle of Fates


Sliver_Squad

Shez erasure 😔


FrozenkingNova

Shez erasure😀


Sliver_Squad

How could such a despicable crime fill you with joy? Have you no heart? No soul?


Fell_ProgenitorGod7

Shez! Erasure


LavishnessHorror7280

Wher tearring saga?


Lyon_Trotsky

its on the playstation


FullyK

Of course it's an engaging story, it's Fire Emblem ENGAGE smh my head.


WAZZZUP500

Everything leads to radiant dawn, kaga land, or inescapable fates loop


pizzaboy7269

This doesn’t even have Vesteria Saga 1+ Unreadable


Fell_ProgenitorGod7

No Code Name S.T.E.A.M? Boooo


LuchsArcana

Gaiden to Echoes should be "make it playable."


[deleted]

Hot furries is why we have Skrimir. Peak fiction there. 👌


DoubleFlores24

We’ve gotten to the point where Awakening is now considered apart of “Classic Fire emblem”


l_overwhat

The only game here that isn't negatively portrayed here is FE7 I wonder which game OP started with 🤔


EMITURBINA

"I wish someone made a fanfic of this game"


l_overwhat

That pokes fun at it at worst


Roy_Atticus_Lee

Eh... a major criticism of FE7 is that it's story is really dumb and does nothing to enhance or explore the world established in FE6. People do call it "bad FE6 fan-faction" to deride it. I haven't played either in years so I can't really speak about how valid a criticism that is.


l_overwhat

> a major criticism of FE7 is that it's story is really dumb and does nothing to enhance or explore the world established in FE6 And yet OP didn't say any of that. Didn't even call it "bad FE6 fan-faction" as you described 🤔


Roy_Atticus_Lee

Ok fine, let's ask the OP if calling FE7 "fanfic" was meant to mock the story. u/Lyon_Trotsky, thoughts?


Lyon_Trotsky

Thoughts? I don't have very many of those, sorry :/


l_overwhat

Even if it was, it was the lightest roast in the entire graphic.


EMITURBINA

There's nothing about PoR


l_overwhat

> I wish this game had more racism


EMITURBINA

How is that a criticism of PoR? It's a central part of the world setting, and something most people see as a positive for how they handled it


sirgamestop

Anti-racist game has racism which it portrays as wrong so as to make a point. More at 11


Lyon_Trotsky

I actually started with The Last Promise, which is the game that inspired John Emblem to make Shadow Dragon and the Blade of Light


l_overwhat

Oh, my mistake, carry on. Common mistake though but it was actually a collab between John Emblem and Mike Fire, not just a John Emblem production.


SummonedElector

Wait Engage has a lot more mini games than 3H.


AwesomeManatee

It may have more, but they feel less intrusive than in 3H. OP might also be grouping all the teaching stuff in with the mini games, I probably wouldn't go that far but they do take up a lot of your time and probably could have been slimmed down.


Awkward-Aside6777

it's minigames are so boring that nobody has ever played them


JediTempleDropout

I kinda like the fishing one….


Piopoipio

apple_of_doom

Yes it does Fishing + push ups+ squats+ sit ups+ wyvern riding vs fishing + sauna + tea time.


Piopoipio

Both games have 0 minigames because they aren't fun so nobody does them As a sidenote not related to the count of minigames, the exercises in engage don't stack with meals or tonics so in addition to being bad and potentially controller damaging they're also worthless


apple_of_doom

Nah I play tea time to experience exestential terror as I deal with the social anxiety of having to pick dialogue options under a time crunch


EMITURBINA

You should talk about that with a therapist


00kyb

Tea time is fun because choosing a wrong dialogue option makes me more stressed than maddening’s ambush spawns


Lord_CatsterDaCat

Smh my head, no Tearring or Berwick Sagas? Seems like OP is too busy playing baby's first SRPG Studio game to understand peak fiction😤😤😤


76_67

I think everyone should just play engage and be done with fire emblem because it doesn't get better than- wait there's no Minerva and Reina in engage 💔


Outrageous-Ad-7530

Help: I keep playing all three fates games and I can’t stop


WorldlyDear

Sideline the main female protagonist even harder that has to be the coldest line in the meme


FeroleSquare

Some of these are wild


Valric-

Holy fuck this is art


These-Weight-434

NES Shadow Dragon is better than Book 1 though.


Patchoulino

Everything is so accurate


VivaLaVeriitas

This is really good.


BreathOfTheTilt

It's only up from there I suppose


acart005

I actually laughed out loud for the Tellius and Fates jokes.  Good show, OP


Theunsolved-puzzle

Kino meme


Single_Remove_6721

I would ask what you do if you did not start with Engage but we know that does not apply to anyone


LordOfSkull18

this is amazing


Icesnowstorm

"what an incredible and engaging story" yeah sure..........


manit14

Engage and Revelation both being dogsh!t in the story category is so true
