I personally recommend Fire Emblem, played both, liked monsterhunter, but i just loved fire emblem
Fire Emblem has been totaly fair for me on hard mode/classic at least. No crits everywhere like posted above.
that's lame. I eventually wanted to recruit everyone. >:c
Though I guess we can always re-summon everyone if we need them again.
WHAAAATTTT

If you aren't into anime stuff, I would avoid Fire Emblem.
It was a fun game and the strategy gameplay and item upgrades were cool, but I really couldn't give two shits about the story at all. After about the first hour of gameplay I started to fast forward all dialoge and skip all the cutscenes as I really didn't find any aspects of it interesting. I sold it on ebay for $15 more than I paid for it, and I'm glad I did. Shadow Wars on 3DS is a similar style game, without the Japanese/RPG/Fantasy bullshit, if thats the kind of game you are looking for.

Shadow Wars is a good game, sure... But pretty much all games in the Fire Emblem series have been great games, better than Shadow Wars for that matter IMHO, Fire Emblem is a long running series from Nintendo, older than Pokemon even, dating to the NES days.
A lot of people who bought the game were expecting anime graphics since the cover also has them, one of the major selling points from Fire Emblem games is actually the story TBH, not to mention the RPG/Fantasy bullshit you said is what it a Fire Emblem game.
Also, the faggy part is quite rude by the way...
On topic though, I've already given my opinion regarding which one to buy, although you should eventually buy both, Fire Emblem is the one you must get first (especially since it's already out over there).
Oh I know, man. I nearly vomited last time I tried to play Freedom, Freedom 2, Freedom unite, or Portable 3rd.
Protip: No handheld Monster Hunter has ever had online. MH4 will be the first.
Well, in Japan local play is more common than online, and it's actually better to play with local than online... Unfortunately in the west that logic doesn't work so well since people tend to play games alone or their friends don't even own a gamming system. >.>
Relevance? By this logic only Dos for PS2 and Tri for Wii have been worthwhile MH games. Everything else is "a crime".
Fire Emblem doesn't have online either so I don't get why it was even mentioned. Unless the Wii U version of MH3U is factoring into the equation.
I was just explaining it, to me it doesn't matter if the games have online or not. I prefer to play alone than online. And I didn't even mention Fire Emblem...
Dont give me that, the PSP had a rediculously limited ammount of games that actually worked online and this was when playing online on handhelds was only just getting popular. The 3DS is a new generation console and one that has obviously put a lot of thought into its rolling internet connection. Its not unreasonable to expect that it should also include online play from a game of this type.
Also before its pointed out, id like to clarify that im sure its still a great game to play single player but when other games in the series have implemented online play so well and made it one of the biggest appeals of the game. You should not leave it out on a handheld console that is probably the best suited to handle it.
Tri is basically the only game in the series to have a commendable online mode. I still don't understand how this makes an offline Monster Hunter "a crime", especially when the game its self is fourteen months old.
Personally, I think Fire Emblem is crushingly good, but hey, Monster Hunter is its own addiction. That being said, if you can find a hardcopy of Awakening, I'd nab it now while you can. That thing is gonna be worth some dough. It sold out here in the States pretty fast, and people are already paying a premium for it above the MSRP. It's a fantastic game. I think I've got about 120 hours in already (midway through my second playthrough). Ridiculous, I know.
