I can’t help as to where to source specific things, but the process is much simpler than you think. Creators will be credited below!

I finished this myself in my off time and found it incredibly solid! I think it’s one of the best ways to experience the original Old Mystery story, and still have the New Mystery additions! In addition, there’s a few adjustments to either retain the optional chapters, or revert some mechanics to the Old Mystery version if you wish. It’s not a complete 1:1 mechanical fix, but it is cool to get at least a little of the original game’s mechanics. <br><br><a href="https://feuniverse.us/t/fe12-old-mystery-of-the-emblem-2-0/7676">https://feuniverse.us/t/fe12-old-mystery-of-the-emblem-2-0/7676</a><br><br>And another special mention to the Lo-fi Fire Emblem Music team!

  My recommend begging point is always Sacred Stones. Good story, easy but not overly handholdy. Just a good start.

  My first Fire Emblem was actually Three Houses. I saw the trailer and was like “oh, this game sounds up my alley.” I got instantly hooked and scoured eBay to buy the classics (Awakening and Sacred Stones FTW) It’s easily one of my favorite series. <br><br>I’m currently playing Engage. Despite the critics, I’m actually enjoying it. The combat is so damn good.

  Great job making this series justice! As someone who discovered this series in gba era, for me it become a system seller. Bought 3ds and switch for it. And yes it is like an old friend.

  I recently had that revelation like how you ended this video. It does feel like an old friend that I can come back to throughout my life. Just recently realized out of all the video game franchises. I&apos;ve ever played at least 14 entries in this series which is more than my attention span can say about any other. Well said

  Im an awakening baby, or i guess man now, cant believe awakenings over 10 years old already but this video was so great man. Im currently playing FE3 and im blown away by how well the snes animations and art hold up (the pegasus galloping animation is genuinely beautiful) its been super fun so far, im also in the middle of my first three houses maddening run also fun and damn difficult. You really can enjoy any one of these games new or old greatly

  I played Heroes first back in 2019 and got introduced to pretty much everyone in the Fire Emblem universe until now, I played Three Hopes and then had Engage as my first true FE experience and I don&apos;t think I could&apos;ve asked for a better FE game as my first.
