Review Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones
Worth fighting for
While Fire Emblem is a franchise with a long history in Japan, its track record in the West is far more condensed; in fact Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones on Game Boy Advance was only the second series entry to arrive in the West. The first Western arrival is also available on the Wii U eShop, meaning that there's a useful...
Review Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones
Once more, to arms!
For such a long-running series, it's hard to believe Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones was only the second game to leave Japan after GBA predecessor Fire Emblem. Since then the series has had a far bigger presence in the West, a fact underlined by Sacred Stones' status as a 3DS Ambassador title. If Sacred Stones is your first Fire...
About The Game
Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones takes place in the continent of Magvel.
Demons once populated the continent, but mankind gained piece by sealing the evil forces with five magic stones. Time passed, and the stones became the heirlooms of royal families whose kingdoms divide the present-day continent.
The story begins as the most powerful of these kingdoms, the Grado Empire, begins to invade the remainder of Magvel. The Lunes Kingdom, a neighboring kingdom to the Grado Empire, incurs a sudden attack against which it cannot defend, and begins losing its territory.
The Grado Empire army reaches the Lunes Kingdom royal city and the Lunes Kingdom falls. Battles feature submaps which you'll be able to enter and leave at will and there is a new class change system that allows players to select from two upper level classes when the time comes to upgrade.

Oh my gosh! I am sooo looking forward to this for the Ambassador Program!
I know nothing of this game, but I've just read "Developer: Intelligent Systems" and that is good enough for me.
I love this game so much, gonna beat it a 5th time on the 3DS
sounds like great game can't wait for it
I already got to the last boss on the my VBA(virtual boy advance) but i never beat maybe i'll beat it this time. Can't wait for fire emblem for 3ds
I was two chapters away from beating this game before I lost it. NOW IT'S COME BACK TO ME!!!
i wish that the coverart would appear on my top screen whenever i scroll onto this game on my 3DS. ):
The game feels kinda slow-paced.
You guys are lucky for getting this game via the Ambassador program. This is definitely my 3rd favorite GBA game (behind Mario & Luigi Superstar Saga and Final Fantasy VI Advance) and my favorite Fire Emblem game. You guys enjoy.
My bro likes it better than shadow dragon because the difficulty is a lot more forgiving.
Although I played many traditional RPG's in my day (SNES era) they never really clicked with me. Chrono Trigger and Secret of Man were my first foray, and I never finished them.
I got this game on 3DS, and I am officially converted! I really love this game! Maybe my taste has changed or something, but Fire Emblem SS totally captivated me. What an awesome late discovery!
Thanks Nintendo!
I want this game on my 3ds, but when I search for it in the eShop I isn't available. why?

It was only given as part of the Ambassador Program. As if yet, it isn't available for purchase.
