Austin is dangerous because he makes me want to play these games. Even that awful-sounding Gundam gacha game.I think Austin's description of Fire Emblem is selling me on the game. I kinda fell off the series partway through Awakening, and Fates didn't appeal to me much, but... Man this sounds pretty cool.
Austin is so good at talking about things he's enthusiastic about. He really sold me on Dragon's Dogma too.Austin is dangerous because he makes me want to play these games. Even that awful-sounding Gundam gacha game.
Just in time too since Retronauts' latest episode is about Final Fantasy Tactics:finally ffta cross persona cross fire emblem

WE FEASTIN'
Mario also includes the Mario Party games, and they are damned.Did the video game draft game really value Mario at 15? MARIO!? The same value as InFamous??
Gears of War was at 25!
I really liked this episode.
Well the good thing about Mario is that you can slap it on anything, even an awful party game. That's why it's so valuable!Mario also includes the Mario Party games, and they are damned.
If Fire Emblem looked a little bit less anime in the ways that I don't enjoy I think it would definitely pull me in.
2 Mello only made it just prior to the most recent episode.Did the Eva podcasts always use Cruel Angel's Thesis in the theme music or was this last one the first time?
Hoping Patrick writes an article about this. Shit's fucked up.
Half-Life at 30Did the video game draft game really value Mario at 15? MARIO!? The same value as InFamous??

Austin made me very excited for fire emblem and I'm mad I can't play it yet
That's what they've been saying for a while though. This isn't particularly surprising. My money is on either a general DC spinoff or Ninja Turtle game, co-op in either case, slotting into Rocksteady's formula. At this point it will probably be next-gen too.I need Fire Emblem now.
It seems like Patrick almost dropped some serious info about Rocksteady. They are not making a Superman game, but it's about what people would expect from them. Hmmmm....
Y'all weren't exaggerating the Three Houses segment of the pod, Austin does a great job digging into the mechanics. My favourite part of Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance (well, mechanically, anyways) was shepherding Rolfe from novice-with-a-bow into a legit Sniper, far surpassing his mentor; so knowing that 3H is shaping up to be a game all about that is... exciting. All of the management stuff sounds great, too.
I thought I was out, but I'm not. Dang.
As someone that's not big on the dating sim aspects i feel like their impact is a bit overstated?
the systems impact might be overstated but i think the effect on character design/writing and so on is probably fairly accurate, non-story characters tend to get boiled down to two or three stock animetropes from awakening onwards and even some of the story ones get the treatment a bit too

As opposed to all the incredibly nuanced and unique fire emblem characters of the past.
I'm jonesing until tomorrow.
I'm not going to sing high praises on the average writing quality of the old games. But it was never quite as silly as invading a country without killing anyone while at the same time tricking your king into thinking that you are killing people and also placating your family members that are on campaign with you. And that's not even the dumbest thing in that story.
But then you trade it for another generic and unmemorable fantasy story.
I'm just going to say that story and nuanced, complicated characters aren't exactly what fire emblem is ever known for.
Buy some pricey Eva merch. And there's so much Eva merch.If the next Eva discussion drops at work I dunno what I'm gonna do
Still 2 and a half hours...
Can't wait to see the run time on 23 and 24.
Genealogy of the Holy War is the introduction of pairing units for super babiesI loved Fire Emblem on the gba (7 and Sacred Stones) but the dating simification of it has made me distinctly less interested... Hardest disagree I've had with any of their articles recently, if ever.
I would just rather have the mostly linear mission by mission structure of 7 (and all the games prior to it).
