New: 1235 - Fire Emblem (U)

There is not much in the way of character develoment.

Not much in the way of character development? What in the heck are you talking about? There's double the character dev of FFTA and the Advanced Wars series combined!

The first 10~12 chapters are tutorial chapters basically.
Though FE7 is without a doubt the easiest in the series (as it was made to introduce english speakers to FE) it is still much harder ('specially in hard mode which you can get when you beat the game once) than FFTA ever was and ever could be. And whoever said the game doesn't require thinking needs to get a brain. There are no power leveling oppurtunities in this game and limited class upgrading items to boot. You can't just expect to level higher and equip godly equipment to make it through a battle in this game -- that's just not how real SRPGS work, period.

There's a lot more I could say but it would be a waste of time. Strategy RPGS just aren't your thing I guess. You can argue it all you want but FFTA is not a strategy rpg. It's more like an rpg that incorporates Strategy elements on a very low scale. Also, your insane if you think FFTA has more Character Development than FE... FFTA had NO Character Development at all.

Bah, some people just can't appreciate a good game when they see it. Sure it's different but see, this is what a REAL strategy rpg is. Not the watered down crap we usually get. If this game sells well, maybe we'll get FE5 -- then you can see just how hard a SRPG can be. FE7 is childs play compared to FE5. Without a doubt the hardest strategy rpg ever made.

Finally, FE in english!
*runs to dling*
hope that black matrix and other FE games will be translated soon

what I mean by character development is not in the story line way, but the control you have over how your character's abilities develope.
A good story is nice and all but what is really going to keep my attention and provide lots of gameplay is an intersing non-repetive, non-trivial system.

Oh, I see what you mean. Again, coming from a generation that reads, I thought you were speaking in literary terms.

Well, you're right to a certain degree. but compared to FFTA you're wrong. FFTA let's you choose weapons for your character, and what skills you want that character to master, by equiping the right items, but so does Fire Emblem. While Fire Emblem doesn't let you gain new skills that way, you can choose what weapon you want your characters to use the most, and thus develop that skill further. If you have two lance and sword wielding knights, you can choose to have both master swords, or perhaps go half and half. So in that way, there is some "character development."

I believe you mean to say "character customization" of which it is true, there is very little of. Fire Emblem 5 had skills, as did Fire Emblem 4. I truly miss those and will never understand why they were removed. Fire Emblem 5 had the most customization because you could use scrolls to teach people skills rather than starting and inheriting them from parents. If we ever get FE5, I think you'd like that game (unless they change it drastically...) as it's much (MUCH) harder and has a lot more to it in terms of customizing. I really do warn you though, Fire Emblem 5 is the hardest strategy RPG I have ever played. It is an insanely cheap game.
