In anticipation for Fortune’s Weave I decided to make tier lists ranking my own personal enjoyment of the games and also how much I both want and expect a remake of all the FE games so first my ranking:
Only real caveat is it’s been a while since I fully played Conquest or PoR so I’m a bit more fuzzier on those games (though I AM replaying PoR now… and also I highly doubt Conquest is ever beating a non fates game)
#Nintendo #NintendoSwitch #FireEmblem #FireEmblemFortunesWeave #FireEmblemFates
the Japan tier is just the Japanese only games that I haven’t played but may one day after Fortune’s Weave and the old is the Japan only games that I will never play due to being as old as they are and having some kind of remake… I also haven’t included the spin offs due to them not being real FEs… and also only having played Hopes and Heroes if I were to rank them Hopes would be S or A and heroes would be D or C and I say C only cause it’s a mobile game so some flaws can be excused
now for the remake tier list:
S is lead by Geanology and Thracia of course as they are the oldest games but FE7 pulls ahead of FE6 mainly because it’s a prequel game so… would it be more justified to happen before FE6 or after… I’d prefer an FE6 remake myself personally cause I can still play 7 on Wii U and Switch but I can’t with 6… which is why it leads A tier followed by Sacred Stones

and New Mystery (FE12) which is here in A tier because even though it’s already a remake it’s Japanese only and also… I’ll explain later… B) is lead by Fates and here me out here with the E Shop down imagine an $80 Switch 2 remake of Fates containing all 3 routes + DLC… IMO that’s a pretty good deal and out of all the English FES this is the one I would probably be the most likely to buy (not counting an FE6+7 game) and as you saw from my games tier list… I’m not a fates fan…
PoR is at B too cause NSO Radiant Dawn and Shadow Dragon are at C cause in Radiant Dawn’s case it’d be weird to have a remake of it before POR and both games are prime NSO content for their consoles which could very well happen soonish… same for New Mystery but only in Japan which is why it’s B) in D tier it’s Awakening and Echoes which are fairly modern but IMO not games that have a valid reason to be remade anytime soon…
and then you have all the switch games which might get switch 2 bonus content but I don’t count that as a remake it’s just $10-$20 DLC so yeah…
