Did I say otherwise? :)
Quote:You really need a GB Player to really enjoy FE.
Why?
Quote:Yes I agree that there was way too much text for such a simple story, a problem I also had with Fire Emblem. I guess it's just what Intelligent Systems' stragety team likes to do.
But a better story wouldn't really do anything good for the game. It would take away from the "pick up and play whenever" aspect of AW.
You're probably right about AW and how more story would hurt the great pick-up-and-play quality that game has. Bu I just disagree about FE. Sure it's somewhat verbose, but that's more realistic than many games! People DO talk, after aall, and generally a whole lot more frequently than they do in most games... :)
Of course it's more about how I find the conversations interesting and like the detail they provide to the story (including plenty of detail that isn't directly part of the main story, something some games don't do that much... like, yes, the greetings when people join your party. I kind of like that. Though some of it is optional -- or did you never notice that in some missions you can have your characters talk to eachother?) than it is about realism, but that's true too. :)
