The author first came into contact with the Holy Light Stone in the GBA version of Fire Emblem, and then became obsessed with the Fire Emblem series. The game is extremely playable and can cultivate different types of heroes. Different heroes have different stories, support, and growth, and there are really many ways to play. The author will introduce each work in the Fire Emblem series in detail later. Today, I will introduce the order of the Fire Emblem series in general. Most people started playing Fire Emblem from the GBA era, and FC and other platforms were added later.
Fire Emblem (Japanese name: ファイアーエムブレム, English: Fire Emblem, Taiwanese translation: "Holy Fire Conquers the Demons") is a strategic role-playing game series developed by Intelligent Systems and published by Nintendo. As an extremely classic work of the war chess game, many gameplay methods have become templates for subsequent games to be developed.
Fire pattern series
The first game: "Fire Emblem: The Dark Dragon and the Sword of Light". The release date was in 1990. Although the plot of the first game seems a bit immature now, we have to admit that it has epoch-making significance on the FC platform. It was this work that announced that SRPG games had officially entered the big family.
The second work: "Fire Emblem Gaiden" (also known as: Sophia's Resurrection). The release date was 1992, and a spin-off was released after the success of the first game. "Fire Emblem Echoes: Another King of Heroes" released on the 3DS platform 25 years later is a remake of the second work, which shows how much the team attaches great importance to Sophia's recovery.
The platforms for the first two games were both FC. If current players are not particularly passionate about Fire Emblem, they may not be able to accept it.
The third game: "Fire Emblem: The Mystery of the Heraldry". Release date 1994, platform SFC. Based on the first work, this work pushed the SRPG game Fire Emblem to its peak and became an insurmountable great work in the history of war and chess games. "Mystery of the Emblem" may not be the highest expression of Kaga Shozo's production ability, but it is indeed the work that brought him to the highest peak in his life. Since then, the reputation of "Fire Emblem" has been as supreme as the top of the pyramid in the SRPG world, and has been called "an insurmountable mountain" by manufacturers in the Japanese industry.
The fourth work: "Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War". The release date is 1996, platform SFC. The highlight of this game is the introduction of more playable elements such as the diversity of arms that can be transferred when changing jobs, and the compatibility of weapons.
The fifth game: "Fire Emblem: Dorakia 776". Release date 1999, platform SFC. This work is a spin-off of the fourth work. As a spin-off, I don't think the fifth game is a lazy work, but instead sublimates the plot. It is recommended that the fourth and fifth games be played together.
The sixth and seventh works can be introduced together. The two works "Sealed Sword" and "Fire Sword" are on the GBA platform. Released in 2002 and 2003. Fire is the prequel to Seal. Personally, I think it’s OK to play whichever one you play first. Playing Seal first and then Fire may make the characters feel like old acquaintances, and the feelings will be perfect. Playing Agni first can give you a more complete understanding of the plot development of the continent of Ereb. So you can play whichever one you want first.
The eighth game: "Fire Emblem: The Holy Demon's Lightstone". The release date is 2004, platform GBA. This work is the enlightenment work of my fire pattern series. I personally speak highly of this game. The graphics are more beautiful, the playability is doubled, and factors such as humanity and friendship are integrated into the game. Therefore, playing it is not only enjoyable and brain-intensive, but also very touching.
The ninth game: "Fire Emblem: Trails of Fire" was released in 2005 on the NGC platform. This work adds the role of orcs, adding freshness to the Fire Emblem series. The archives of this game can be inherited into "The Goddess of Akatsuki". The abilities of some of the main characters in the archives will have an impact on the characters' initial abilities in Akatsuki. If you inherit a save file containing A-level support from Ekko and Senerio, and meet A-level support again in Akatsuki, there will be a hidden plot.
The tenth game: "Fire Emblem: Goddess of Dawn" was released in 2007 on the Wii platform. This game pushes the Fire Emblem series to its pinnacle in terms of artistry, and the characters are really beautiful. I strongly recommend players who like SRPG to give it a try. The story background of this game takes place 3 years after the end of "Fire Emblem: Trail of Fire". These two works are also in sequence.
Eleven and twelve games: "Fire Emblem: New Dark Dragon and the Sword of Light" and "Fire Emblem: New: Mystery of the Emblem ~Heroes of Light and Shadow~" release dates are 2008 and 2010, platforms NDS. Just by looking at the names of these two works, you can tell that they are replicas of the first and third games. Players can choose to play these two works first. If they feel that they are full of feelings, they can experience the first and third games on the FC and SFC platforms.
The thirteenth game: "Fire Emblem: Awakening" was released in 2012. 3DS platform. This game is short, but it's actually as fun as ever, but it just feels like there's more to it.
The fourteenth game: "Fire Emblem if: White Night Kingdom/Dark Night Kingdom/Dark Night Kingdom" was released in 2015. 3DS platform. There are many versions of this game, and you can experience different story lines and different difficulties. When combined, you can play for a long time. Both this game and Awakening were released on the 3DS platform, and the operation methods are similar. The story lines are different and can be experienced continuously.
The fifteenth game: "Fire Article: Hero" was released in 2017 on the mobile platform. Players in mainland China can’t play this game yet, but this game is so beautiful! A large collection of all historical works, traditional fire patterns are added with mobile game elements, making people addicted to it. The characters are really beautiful, and the graphics in previous works have been qualitatively improved.

The sixteenth game: "Fire Emblem Echoes: Another King of Heroes" was released in 2017. For the 3DS platform, this game may be Nintendo’s intention to expand into the Chinese market and include a Chinese version. The map exploration mode adds new oxygen to the Fire Emblem series, and the maze system is also engaging but not lengthy. The graphics are excellent. As a replica of the second game in the Fire Emblem series, it adds new gameplay without losing monotony. The only shortcoming is that the plot is too short. The men's and women's routes are put together, making it feel like they can be cleared very quickly.
The seventeenth game: "Fire Emblem Warriors" was released in 2017 on the NS platform and 3DS platform. Heroes from past generations gather together to tell a grand story of a desperate confrontation with fate. It is still recommended to play Fire Emblem on other platforms before playing Wushuang. You will be more passionate about the new gameplay of Fire Emblem.
