The Basics: Fire Emblem is easily one of the most chill Game Boy Advance games ever, and while that's not exactly saying much, Fire Emblem is still a kick-ass game. You fight through some levels strategy game style using little sprite people to beat the shit out of other sprite people. You get swords, lances, axes, bows, and some little trippy magic books. The game is simple enough to play chilled out of your mind, but challenging enough to piss you off again and again. (Screw you Eliwood) It's a great game for boring road trips too. But enough boring crap, time to play some Fire Emblem.
You start off on some boring plains with only one little sprite person. There's only two people to kill, but its supposed to be a tutorial mission, so just blaze right through it.
One thing you might do is go to options and change the the animation to style 2, which upgrades it from mega-crap to just plain old crap, but it doesn't really change much. Anyway kill that boss-man.
The next level you get 2 knight people, Kent and Sain. I recommend gives all of Kent's stuff to Sain, because Kent is a little prick who sucks. Then put Kent at the very back of the level, because you should save him to be a meat-shield on harder levels. Keep moving forward and killing stuff with Lyn and Sain. Keep in mind that if someone dies they're gone for good or you have to restart the level which will be a bitch-and-a-half later in the game.
The next level starts out with some doosh called Glass bitching about some sword. Put Kent at the back as usual and then use the people who don't suck to push forward and smash through the wall. Then use a lance to mess Glass up and take the sword. By now Lyn and Sain should be around level 4.
On next level you get a flying horse person and an archer. The horse person sucks, but the archer will eventually become one of the best people in the game, even though they just forgot one of the "L's" in "Will". Bastards. Just keep killing stuff, buy some weapons and then move up to the boss. If you want just stand 2 squares away and shoot arrows at him. Simple.
This level can be easy or a midly difficult. If you hole up in the fort and wait the bandit people out it's a cakewalk. If you run out and try to kill everything it might be a little hard. You also get Dorass but he really sucks, unless your using him as a meat-shield then's hes not too bad.
Next up the game introduces magic into the game. You get a dude who can shoot little fireballs and you get a healer. They are both pretty good, but the healer can't attack and there are better magic users. Use em if you want, and kill the boss with arrows or fireballs. You can also grab some long range weapons from the armory if you want.
The next stage starts off with some child molester looking guy running up and trying to do a bad thing. Then some horse guy runs up and shoots his ass. Boom-skees
You get two more new people, Rath and Matthew. Rath is a Nomad and if your not using Wil I would use him. Matthew is a thief and he can open doors and steal crap. Matthew can become one of the best people in the game, but he's weak initially. Move through the level and you will find a fancy robe thing, which will add 7 hp to any unit. I would use it on Lyn, Erk or Matthew. Anyway step on the little blue squares and try not to get run through by the boss. Kill him with the Mani-Kati, the armor-slayer, or magic.
Then you end up saving some guys castle, and then he acts like a little bitch and makes you fight your way to the capital instead of escorting you there. Then Rath leaves and comes with you. This is only about 5%-10% of the game, and I don't have the time or the patience to do the whole thing. And why your people seem crappy now, they will eventually change into better classes. Here's some of them:
Bottom line: Fire Emblem is a pretty chill game and it takes a while to beat. Good for passing time and you can play it on an Android phone, PC, or an old Gameboy.
