Fire Emblem 4

Why is this game often regarded as the pinnacle of the Fire Emblem series? I'm like halfway through chapter 2 and so far the gameplay has been on the weaker side. All the non mounted combat units are basically worthless, the levels are tedious and the enemy placement is annoying.

muh story

It isn't? It's not even brought to the US. The pinnacle is most definitely FE7.

Agreed.

>Why is the pinnacle
>Is too hard
>I try to play FE4 te same way i played Awakening and Fates

yeah man, the unpromoted enemies like 4 chapters from the end put up a huge fight

Because people dont like challenging Fire Emblem games

Echoes 2: Holy War Story when?

Because no one has actually played it. It has a few interesting ideas but it's mostly a boring mess with a dumb plot and one of the easiest games if you know what you're doing.

-you can actually use all of your units
-fuckhuge maps actually make it feel like you're waging a war
-skill system
-pairing system
-the only FE game with a good story

>All the non mounted combat units are basically worthless

oh you're one of those efficiency autismos, nvm

Because bandwagoning retards who just laugh at le BBQ jokes and never actually played the games

>the only FE game with a good story
FE4 has good story concepts but tells it terribly.
FE5 actually has both story concepts and execution down.

You are aware that Geneaology is legitimately one of the easiest games in the series, right?

It's my favourite, mainly from what
said, but I'd never call it the best.
The title of best really goes to it's side-story, FE5.

FE4 is piss easy.
Like Fe Fates birthright tier piss easy
The story and characters are good though

I said it was tedious, not difficult

I don't obsess over efficiency, heck I've never attempted a LTC and I sometime grind supports, but you can't deny that Ayra, Jamke and Azel are worthless. By the time they even reach the battlefield, your other mounted units would have killed most things already.

how much of a contrarian do you need to be to think fe5 is good?

Not as much as to think FE6 is good.

It's not, subhuman.

FE wasn't even remotely good until Conquest.

Based. Always knew Sigurd was a rampant shitposter.

>the levels are tedious and the enemy placement is annoying
Isn't that basically every tactical RPG ever?
