The Fire Emblem Discussion

Uh oh, now you've done it. Now you've gone and stirred the ire of ABF. Good luck

No, no, he was saying that FFTA felt more like an RPG than a strategy game, I think, something I kind of agree with... it is a tactics game, but its battlefield strategy is less complex (strategic) than FE's is. They try to make up for it with more detailed character models -- lots of levelling, items, skills and classes, etc -- making the game much more RPG-ish.

As someone who's played both games extensively to their end, I can tell you that FE just doesn't measure up to FFT. Not as a RPG, not as a RTS. FE just feels and plays like a simple RTS that was designed for kids to adults to dive in to while FFT asks the player to plan and think about their strategy well beyond the likes of FE (or even AW).

If you think this, you're ignoring almost all of FE's depth...
