There was nothing wrong with Shadow Dragon, just percieved faults by people who had never played any entries in the series prior to FE7 and had unrealistic expectations. It's a remake of FE1, and most of the "faults" people complained about was that it didn't have features that didn't exist in FE1. It's like buying Super Mario Advance 4 and complaining that the raccoon leaf wasn't replaced with the cape from SMW.
Shadow Dragon was great. The story was boring, but that wasn't even in the original for the most part, from what I've read, so I don't feel bad skipping most of it. This one seems like a safe bet.
Gaiden rules. But it makes sense. This is the immediate sequel to the story. They should finish Marth's story before going to a completely separate story. I hope they come back to it if they continue doing remakes. I haven't played them much, but the giant maps of the Super Famicom games don't appeal to me as much. I'll have to give them another shot someday, I suppose.
Shadow Dragon also took a pretty long time to get localized, so we'll probably see this one somewhere next year.
I hope so. Sooner its out, the sooner they can move on the FE Gaiden. Too bad nothing's confirmed, though. Apparently there's a casual mode for n00bs like me, where the perma-death is nulled, so I'll be sure to pick it up if it arrives in the west.
Radiant Dawn is probably the worst FE game to start with, but the best game to play for an experienced Fire Emblem player.
Really? That's the game that really got me hooked on the series. People say it's "inaccessible to beginners", but for me it was a great starting point. I'm not sure why, but Fire Emblem didn't appeal to me until I played Radiant Dawn.
I think you can play Radiant Dawn first as they somewhat explain the history of POR as you go through, but to me it would seem much more enjoyable as their is more familiarity with the characters playing Path of Radiance first. That being said its hard to say as I played POR first.
