Fire Emblem's Collapse And Awakening

Join Arnaldo and Paul as they follow the rise, and fall, and rise again of the Great Lord of SRPG video games, Fire Emblem! The guys start off talking about the core gameplay mechanics of the series and the key minds behind it (amid some horribly dated Toronto Raptors references) before moving on to the Famicom Fire Emblem games (24:00). After the break we get into the Super Famicom era and the amusing way Thracia 776 compares to Final Fantasy XV (34:00). This is followed by lawsuits, the aborted Fire Emblem 64, and the Gameboy Advance entries in the series (54:30). The not-so triumphant return to consoles with Path of Radiance and Radiant Dawn is next followed by the series on life support with the Nintendo DS entries (1:06:00). However, the series is resurrected by the masterpiece, Fire Emblem: Awakening, followed by Fates and Echoes (1:28:00). And we can't finish up this show without taking a trip on the hype train for Three Houses! (2:03:00)

 

So many games!
