Title: Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon
Post by: Bizarro Belmont on February 26, 2009, 10:26:42 AM

I was kinda skeptical about playing this game at first, but it's not too bad. A bit primitive for standards, but it's decent and fairly fun. My only kinks is lack of character depth (No Support conversations!?) and no more auto-save.

Shadow Dragon is actually a remake omnibus of Fire Emblems 1 and 3. That's part of why the character depth is so shallow (FE1 and 3 were on the NES. There wasn't any room for support convos on there) and why it feels a little primitive. There have been additions to make up for it (A few new maps, graphical overhaul courtesy Hiroka Oku, The Weapons Triangle, and the Class Swap system), it's still basically just FE1 and 3 all over again.

Not like it matters to most people though, since FE1 and 3 are Japan only and this is a US release. Really, it's kinda like what Square did with FFIII a while back.
