Out of those 2 i've only played FE, so my opinion wouldnt really matter. But FE is a good game and did get a lot better ratings from everyone than SoM got.

[glow=navy,2,300]I haven't played either yet, but it is really just a matter of opinion. If you like Action RPG's, go with Sword of Mana, if you like Tactical or Strategic games, go with Fire Emblem.[/glow]

I haven't played SOM either, but yes, FE is a good game. Better than I expected. It's like a mix between AW and an RPG tactics game. Probably because it was made by the people who made AW... I like this game better than AW though. It has more RPG elements.

FE is a really good game but i havent been playing it for a long while, i am only on chapter 13

and i have seen SOM played and it looks sweet!!!! i hope i am getting it for x-mas

[vanguard]

is FE similar to FEDA for SNES and shining force for Genesis?

[Magicman]

Yup.

Oh, has anybody played Lunar Legend? I want that game...

[Jaggy]

Lunar Legend is a sucky remake. The one for PSX is much better.

Don't let anyone discourage you from getting Lunar Legend. It's a sweet game. Get it if you see it anywhere. And get the PSX one if you see that too, but I can't find any near me. So LL is gret to get.

[Jaggy]

Oh yeah, you should just stick with LL if you can't find Lunar for PSX. I couldn't find either so I just got Lunar (PSX) from ebay.

Anyone pick up Onimusha Tactics? I'm likin' it so far, it's so much faster paced then FFTA or TO, but it's a much more basic storyline and not as stylish (which is surprising coming from Capcom). The presentation is good though, which IS like Capcom, and puts the pace of the game in a "get in their and fight" vibe, whereas FFTA is like "Hmm, do I have the right stupid items to get a mission so I can fight something besides these random clans"?

Yah, it's good. But so far, it's not chiseling out it's own place in the genre.

[Sektor]

Yeah, I got Onimusha Tactics too. It's a fun game, but nothing special. FFTA is a lot different than TO and vice-versa, but Onimusha Tactics doesnt have it's own stand like Locke said. It's a lot like TO.

Sorry, I'm with Jaggy, Lunar Legend blew. The PSX one is the best, but if you really wanna go vintage, get the Sega CD ones!

Oh, and after playing more into Onimusha Tactics, I've come to the conclusion that it blows as well. I liked it at first, then started hating it when people joined my party after every battle for the first 4 hours of the game, and that is ALL that changes!!!! There is no way of assigning magic or changing classes or basically any kind of depth whatsoever. Don't waste your time people.

Well, I have that one, and the Sega CD one, so go me. =D I'll get Phantasy Star Collection instead. (That one's been on my to buy list since forever... >.<)

based on reviews i suggest getting Fire Emblem but ive never played SoM. its all a matter of opinion because there basically 2 different RPGs. i basically just reviewed what everyone said ;D
