[StoneKnightMan]

you know what game we're talking about.

this is another one of nintendo's great duoligies. Fire Emblem The Binding Blade and its prequel The Blazing Blade


the games takes place in the world of ellibe. generations ago, humans and dragons coexisted with each other and lived together in peace, until an event called, The Scouring happened.

a dragon, Idunn, was tortured and her soul butchered by her fellow dragons and was made into a weapon by her own kind against the humans. the eight legends were given eight legendary weapons to combat the dragons, Durandal, Armads, Mulagir, Forblaze, Aureola, Apocalypse, Maltet, and the two blades Eckesachs and the Binding Blade. Hartmut, one of the legends who wielded Eckesachs and the binding blade, fought Idunn. but he could not bring himself to kill her not because she was a dragon, but she was a young girl who was tortured and weaponized by her own kin, so he sealed her away out of pity, ending the scouring.

the eight legends founded kingdoms in the aftermath

Hartmut, wielder of Echeschs and The Binding Blade, founded the kingdom of Bern and became its first king

Roland, wielder of Durandal, founded Lycia

St. Elimine, wielder of Aureola, founded Etruria

Hanon, wielder of Mulagir, founded Sacae

Barigan, wielder of Maltet, founded Ilia

Athos, wielder of forblaze, remained in Arcadia

Bramimond, wielder of Apocalypse, slumbered in the Shrine of Seals in Bern

and Durban, wielder of Armads, settlled in the Western isles.


Over a Millennia has passed. and The Blazing Blade took place

The Blazing Blade

the game follows the adventures of Three lords

Eliwood of Phreae in Lycia, the Desendant of Roland, and wielder of Durandal

Eventually, they meet the two dragon siblings, Ninian and Nils, who are on the run from a league of assassins called, the Black Fang, leaded by Nergal, who wants to use them to summon dragons and take over the world.


later, the black fang are hired by King Desmond of Bern to murder his son, Zephiel, so his daughter Guinevere can be crowned Queen when she grows up.

Eliwood, Hector, Lyn, and nino and jaffar who betrayed the black fang, protected Zephiel and drove back the assassins.


After stopping Nergal from summoning the dragons, the blazing blade ends.


Then, The Binding Blade takes place

Zephiel's father, King Desmond, makes another attempt to kill his son by giving him a poisoned drink, zephiel thought his father finally acknowledged that he truly cared about his son, but not before nearly dying from the poison. he was saved by Murdock, who served him since the blazing blade. outraged and traumatized by the betrayal, Zephiel muders his father and becomes the new king of Bern. he loses faith in humanity and decides to start summoning dragons, believing their rule will lead humans to a right path. He eventually finds Idunn anmd plans to awaken her and use her to lay waste to the world. he sends his four dragon generals of Bern, Narcian, Murdock, Galle, and Brunnya to conquer the other lands and continents. among which zephiel enters and kills hector, one of the heroes who protected him from the black fang.

advance wars is better

Don't you think it would be better to make a general Fire Emblem thread?

FE7 was the first Fire Emblem game I played.

To be honest, I played all three GBA Fire Emblems and liked them. The one thing that always annoyed me, though, was the support system. Gameplay-wise, I guess it works, but it still doesn't make much logical sense to me. The only way for characters to build a relationship with one another is by being near each other while they're fighting in a war zone. Why don't characters try to mingle with one another when they aren't in battle? It just doesn't make sense to me.

The confidant system in the Persona games works realistically; you do things with other characters during relaxing points in the game, not when you're in the middle of battle. Granted, the FE developers would have to completely overhaul the way the game works to put something like this in, but I still think its worth mentioning.
