Level 20 Ike by Chapter 6 😋

He seems a bit Str screwed, but it'll sort itself out upon promotion.

I...ok, damn. I'll skip Rolf this run

My favourite gay boy 🥰🥰🥰

Time to force feed him EXP. Fun fact: if Soren is near Ike, he cannot get critical hit.

Girl, do you want to be recruited or not?? 😭
January 10, 2026 at 1:34 PM
I call this chapter 'Feed Ike'. 10 more of these levels, thank you

This menu 💓 Seraph Robe goes to Soren obvs

I also love how POR added Enemy Ranges to the series. Sooo useful

3H is up there as a FE I liked, but that's mainly because it calls back to an older Fire Emblem that also dealt with class struggles, Holy bloodlines, ...

Engage...is a mess storywise. Really dull cast and plot. Gameplay is, admittedly, insanely fun. I replay FEs a lot, never replayed Engage. 🤷

The Tellius games (Path of Radiance and Radiant Dawn) are my fav Fire Emblem, so take my opinion with a grain of salt: they have an amazing story, fleshed out cast and fun gameplay. The Bonus EXP feature incentives you to play chapters differently rather than rout them all.

It's really, really good

I remember when the fandom convinced everyone to never use Jeigans. Never, ever again 😭

Titania, clear the way to endgame for me, please.

This is a great start for our boy

Oh yes. I still have my Wii saves and GC memory card 😌

It was amazing seeing the POR cast in RD with my supports
January 10, 2026 at 12:40 PM
No, that's fair haha :) I prefer 1 because its design is more even across the board, but 2 has its strengths
January 10, 2026 at 12:23 PM
Congrats!!

Plans cancelled because of snow which means I can play Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance!

The startup sound effect already got to me. I missed this game so much 😭

Gonna try and go for a perfect save for Radiant Dawn just in case Nintendo adds Wii to NSO
January 10, 2026 at 12:17 PM
Hahah, we can only hope. It'd improve the musical I'm sure
January 10, 2026 at 12:14 PM
Hahah, sorry. It wasn't a fun ride like people promised me it'd be 🥀

lmaooo

(...) BOF2 takes BOF1 and improves in most areas. I did have more fun with 1 than 2 to be honest, but I would recommend 2 over 1 if someone asks which one to play. Dragon powers were much better in 1, too.

You can tell Capcom was learning a lot about the genre which led to BOF3. <3

Bye, BOF2 🫡

(...) becauset they're just underutilised. First half of the game features them extensively and then the game ran out of money and you fly through dungeons/set pieces very quickly.

Earlygame backtracking was annoying af, too, so I'm glad they ran out of money/time for the 2nd half of the game (...)
January 10, 2026 at 12:07 PM
(...) Soundtrack is cute for a quick listen, but many tracks become grating real quick. Shoutout to the dungeon theme for being the worst I head in a JRPG yet.

Graphics are nice, the story's a definite upgrade over 1. The cast is better utilised in this one, but I wouldn't call them memorable (...)
January 10, 2026 at 12:05 PM
(...) You can't experiment much with them throughout and what's more, the second a character is knocked out, they lose their Shaman form. Considering enemies hit like a truck and endgame has enemies casting instant Death...why would you even bother setting up fusions? 🥴 (...)
January 10, 2026 at 12:04 PM
(...) you choose early on in the game for TownShip. I missed out on a stat boosting mechanic because I just chose the prettiest housing. Sucks.

The fusion gimmick's implented so fucking poorly. You get half of the shamans (for the good fusions!) at the *very* end of the game. (...)

✅ Breath of Fire 2 beaten

Overall a fun RPG with really weird difficulty spikes and a backloaded story.

I really wish many bugs in the game didn't exist (elemental dragons do no elemental damage, repel item doesn't work) and I wish the food system didn't depend on the choice of a random NPC (...)

Hahah, how many NPCs died? I can only think of Tiga and Claris
