Is this comparable to Fire Emblem (Awakening/Fates)?

[Gunny]

From a gameplay perspective?

[KarmaTheAlligator]

I'm not an expert in Fire Emblem, but I'm going to say no. From what I remember about FE, the only thing they have in common is they're turn based.

[Matt GB]

Similar gameplay but not in the same league as the Fire Emblem series imo.

[Melodia]

Yeah, it's a much better league than FE, that's for sure.

[Erikkustrife]

Yea disgea doesnt haverandom levleing for your stats that makes a fing fighter only gain magic for 20 levels and have less hp then a mage who was lucky and got hp for 2 levels (im talking about fates becuase that tolttaly just happend to me)

[V0LuG]

Similar style to FF:Tactics or Luminous Arc.

[Gunny]

mh, I loved Tactics Ogre and Fire Emblem:Awakening but I hated FF Tactics.

[Bomb Bloke]

Style's indeed similar to FFT, but the sheer-cliff-face learning and difficulty curves aren't present, and there's a fair bit more humour thrown in.

It's the same kind of SRPG, except it's turned to maximum lunacy. Crazy lvlcap, crazy statcap, items can be lvled up, you can rebirth to increase your basestat gain, skills are over the top and a some of them are cameos of other jrpgs or animes(I believe Omega Heal in 3 or 4 had Index from To Aru Majutsu no Index as cameo or 1 of the Sword skills was clearly taken from Archer's Unlimited Blade Works or Mifune's Infinite One-Sword Style) and the story of every entry is a parody on an idea and how more or less what you are doen't make you good or evil.

Not to mention Geopanels completely change how you go about a level. Some levels are a bit like a puzzle that you have to stop and figure out how to beat it. Fire Emblem is more about just baiting units to come to you and killing them. I enjoy both games but they are not that similar other then their turn based combat.

I suddenly find myself wondering if we can skip the chain animations when they blow up. They go on for ages (long enough to put my PSP to sleep if I don't press random buttons), it gets old after a while.

That is a good question. In the new ones you can skip or speed up the chain but I'm not sure. I hope so.

Pretty sure if you put system speed to max it really speeds up the chain animation. It's definitely an option.

Good to hear - I'll certainly be maxing everything out, anyway! :)

It always amazes me that anyone can tolerate less than top message speeds in games.

But the messages stay on the screen until you press a button anyway!

It makes no sense!
