I have decided to do two blog entries on the games I played. Hope you are OK with it! Heehee! OK! The title of this blog entry is Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones. In case you don't know, Fire Emblem is a Gameboy Advance game, in short GBA game. Well, obviously, I'm a poor pauper and so I downloaded the ROM, the game, from a website. Heehee! I got to play it for free! Free of charge! Fire Emblem is what I call an adventure RPG game. RPG in case if you don't know, means role-playing game. It is where you control a character in the game or many characters in the game. Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones is a game where there are these stones called the Sacred Stones and all of a sudden, the king of Grado wanted to launch attacks to countries who possess the Sacred Stone, minly, Renais, Frelia, Jehanna, Rausten and Grado. The king of Grado wanted to destroy all the Sacred Stones which were used to suppress Evil. The king of Grado hated violence buut now is waging war on the countries! What could have caused this abrupt change? But one thing was for sure, Evil was sure to rise if the Sacred Stones were destroyed.
A long time ago, the Sacred Stones suppressed the Great Evil but now if Grado wants to destroy the Sacred Stones, won't the Great Evil once again roam the world? This is indeed scary. Now, we focus on the main character of the story, Eirika. Eirika is the princess of Renais and at this moment of time, Grado forces are attacking Renais! Seth, a paladin accompanied Eirika and escaped with her...... An interesting story is about to begin.
I forgot the first parts of the story as I played it at the beginning of the holidays. You dont expect me to play all over again at this point of time, do ya? One thing is for sure, there are 21 chapters to this amazing story and I am at the final chapter. Let's start from the back of the story and see if I can remember as we go0 backwards.
At the last chapter, Eirika and Ephraim, the prince of Renais, ganged up with princes and princesses of other countries and other allies to fight against Lyon, the prince of Grado. The Great Evil had consumed his soul and he was the one who started the war. I have been playing this chapter for a very long time and I just can't seem to win the wretched zombie dragon. Grrr...... As we go backwards...... Sheesh! I can't really remember the in-betweens of the story, only the main battles in the countries. What so interesting about the in-betweens of the story? I think that telling you how they got their allies is more interesting than the battles. I am particularly interested in the jobs of these allies. For example, mercenary, cleric, priest, sage, bishop, paladin, valkyrie, assassin, rouge, thief, myrmidon, swordmaster, wyvern rider, pegasus knight, knight, shaman, druid, summoner, mage knight, ranger, hero, cavailer, great knight, berserker, pirate, fighter, general, lord, great lord, archer, sniper, Manakete, the drgon tribe, troubadour, falcoknight, mage, dancer, monk and journeyman. WOW! So many jobs, how am I suppose to tell you? I will figure a way out......
First, Eirika and Ephraim are lords but later advanced as great lords with the help of their bracelet which sealed their country's Sacred Stone away. Seth was a paladin naturally. Franz was a cavailer who could advance as a paladin or a great knight.Knoll was a shaman who could advance as a summoner or a druid. Gerik was a mercenary who could advance as a her or a ranger. Natasha was a cleric who could advance as a valkyrie or a bishop. Moulder was a priest who could advance as a sage or a bishop. Lute was a mage who could advance as a sage or a mage knight. Tana and Vanessa was a pegasus knight who could advance, I think into a falcoknight or a wyvern rider. Gilliam was a knight who could most probably advance as a great knight or a general. Joshua and Marisa were myrmidons who could either advance as assassins or swordmasters. Colm was a thief who could advance as a rouge or an assassin. Rennac was naturally a rouge.
Bored? I'm bored too. Yawn...... Guess you know roughly what advances into what...... I hate going on further, if you don't find it dumb, I do. Sheesh...... Anyway, the story as I told you, I guess you know the insides of it. Like the heroes go saving people and destroying Grado's forces and protecting the Sacred Stones...... blah blah blah...... Guess I need not go on further and that is roughly the game. This game need strategy to be completed without any of your allies dying. I had to replay those chapters where my allies died as I did not want to "have a funeral" for them. Haha! Anyway, I guess YOU do not wish to play it, so...... Here's it...... Hey, I thought this was short, but it still became a composition!!! Crapolology......
