Newgrounds.com — Everything, By Everyone.

So I ended up getting Shadow Dragon and so far I am enjoying it. I manage to get to Port Warren before my battery died out. What am I to expect in that battle?

Having trouble already so early in the game? Chapter 8 shouldn't be giving you any trouble at all.

Anyways, do you train everyone or a select few?

I'm not having any trouble, my battery just died before I could begin my battle.

I train only a few but mainly focus on training Jagen as a dracoknight.

DO NOT TRAIN JAGEN. This is what everyone does wrong. Jagen is one of the worst characters in the game. You'll find that out in the late chapters. And by focusing on him, you take away exp. from the other characters. Try to give everyone an equal amount of exp. so that you'll have a good unit for evry situation.

Yeah, I beat it right after making that post.

I try to train everyone, but the majority of the exp goes the Cain, Abel, Hardin, Caeda, Marth, or Navarre. Everyone else is pretty much level 6 and under. Those 6 are either 8 or 9.

Like Docsprite said Jagen is the namesake of the group of characters with low growths designed for saving yoru other charcters. I usually end up killing him as the Prolouge (sorry for spelling) decoy. I know someone mentioned having powerful charcters that die because the enemy continues to die than attack with replacments. To avoid that, just remove (don't drop) your and put yourself just in range of the attack. Have the enemy be pulled in and than hit him with Magic arrows long-range than normal attacks.

I was going to make a subdivision of this club as a new clud called the "Shadow Dragon Wi-Fi club" do you think this would be okay?

Or...or you could not. Think about it.

In all seriousness, it's not needed. There would be no real point in creating a "sub-club" within a club for one aspect of one game.

Yea, I could if people would actually look at it really. This club was founded for all the games while the Wi-fi club would just focus on making fan-tornements and such.

Since it would most likely be banned by the mods, I guess if people are willing we could start some tornements here.

Yes, we were discussing it earlier, on the last page I believe. But, it'd be nice for everyone to have the game first, and then we'd need to go through the rigamorole of getting it going. But, it'll happen sometime in the near future if all goes well.

Shadow Dragon has come over as kind of crap to me. I consider it the worst FE.

It's full of meh, and it's just more like FE Wii than the GBA ones. and the GBA FEs were the best.

Plus, story is a letdown. It's a half--baked script.

The story is the orginal story-line from the first game, so really could so find anything new in it? No not really and no support conversations becuase there were none in the first couple of games.

I enjoyed the personally but...

Argh! The only thing that really annoys me is the absense of book 2. They had both books in the snes version in Japan so why couldn't they put it in the DS version? I would have taken a dip in the graphics and the loss of all the hard modes to play it.

I just wish Nintendo would translate the games and put them on the Wiiware or something

Seriously people; stop complaining about SD. It's the FIRST GAME. That's why it doesn't have the new features we're accustomed to. It's just a port.

I know that, but Nintendo could've made more effort in translating the game, as they did with Rekka no Ken. Which is currently the best out-of-japan release the best being Fuuin no Tsurugi.

Or, you could just use the rom translations for those games. It's legal as it the games were never licenced outside of japan.

Oh, and about FEDS, the game complements bad strategy. If you let your soldiers die, it rewards you with bonus chapters and more characters.

And the Wi-Fi? Useless.

Ahbuggrit, double post.

I know it's the first game but it ain't a fucking port. It's a remake. New graphics, new characters, new weapons, new features. But, as you said, it's still very close to the original, which it shouldn't be.

So where are people like Ramun-flame and us older people at?
...Is there a whole new family of members?

Wrong, you can find the best weapons and I think even Master Seals in the online shop.

It depends on who you are I guess. I really hate th efog of war in Wi-Fi battles but it does add stragedy. IF you didn't go to the arenas in the game, yea you're going to lose big time becuae you need both money and lvl 40s (20 class-up 20) to stand a chance. If you're not into putting extra effort in the game, than yea Wi-Fi battles aren't for you

Fog of War is usually annoying unless you recruited the max amount of thieves. But on Wi-Fi battles, putting in thieves is suicide. Unless, that is, you promoted them to Assassin.

So I recently beat the game. And it was easy as hell. Why? Because I beat the last level in less then 3 minutes with only 2 people. (Marth was there but not used)

That speaks bounds about the difficulty level.

No,it speaks for why people love fire emblem,building up a few units from a crappy level 1 weakling to a second class level 20 destroyer of everything.
In fact,Navarre killed the shadow dragon by himself in one swing(sure it was a critical,but still,not too bad for the final boss).

That's why I am always slightly disappointed by the final chapter in the FE games,because while I do get to see my troops rape everything,I only wish that that there were about 4 times as many enemies,just so I can watch one swordmaster decimate a battalion of heroes.

Also,the final stage took me an hour to beat because a few of the units I wanted to use got trapped by the doors closing,and I had to get cain to gallop on over to the shop,pick up some keys,go to the other end of the map,let tiki out,then go all the way to the left to let marth out.
