Always preferred the handheld ones. Fire Emblem (GBA) is the most complete package with the best level designs, and definitely the one to go for. Shadow Dragon (DS) is a remake of an earlier game so is a little lighter on features, but still has some great levels. Sacred Stones (GBA) is the weakest by a margin, but is the only other one that has random battles/grinding, if you're into that.cindemon wrote:FE has a new fan & once Awakening is done, gonna grab another from the series, any shout outs?

Yeah, I wasn't sure about the prices. I remember seeing the Wii version around quite a lot not too long ago, and it was always around £20, but I guess there's less Wii stuff in the shops now. I'd imagine the first GBA game didn't have a large release. Wasn't Sacred Stones available on some download thing at some point? Don't know if it was just some temporary thing.cindemon wrote:I would perfer grabbing a handheld version. The OG GBA game commands a hefty price on ebay. Hell some guy wanted over £25 just for the box & instructions before P&P. Better hit the indies tomorrow whilst out & see if I can get lucky with your recommendations. If I dont get lucky & I refrain from getting sucked into a bidding war, I will just wait on a VC download, which knowing how smooth a process that is will come around in 10 or so years time.... Edit: Seems they ALL command a hefty price, even the GC & Wii versions. Damn my ignorance.

Forge is a way to level up the stats on your weapons, for more hits, crits etc but damage gets incremental. Forge the weapons you have the greatest affinity with.
The grinding comes from random encounters on the map. There's a smelly thing you can buy to make risen appear.

Ok thanks. I only had enough zennies for one of those which I've used.
