Hello hello!
Recently I’ve gotten stuck again on Fire Emblem. 
I had played it some years ago, and had really liked and enjoyed it then. I’d played the two GameBoy Advance games, Fire Emblem: Rekka no Ken (Blazing Sword) and Fire Emblem: Seima no Kōseki (The Sacred Stones). One day as I was searching for some image, I stumbled on the image of one of the characters and it re-ignited the flame!
Woot!
It’s fun! Even though on Normal mode it is pretty easy to beat, but I like very much that it is more personal, not cold and impersonal as many games are. You get to know the characters, get to feel affection for them … Along the lines of normal and not obsession for fictional characters, I mean. 
Here are some screenshots from the cover box art, and the gameplay:
This is when there is a fight:
This is from Sacred Stones, but looks almost the same as the previous, Blazing Sword:
Here are some of my favorite characters!
Lyn, because I can just imagine her being a real-life close friend of mine… She is compassionate, friendly, generous, helpful, kind… Plus she looks cool!!
Eliwood… Because he’s a Lord like Lyn, and they go together! Plus he’s hot! Well yes, he’s also kind, generous, etc. etc.
Joshua, because he’s a Myrmidon, plus super cool and hot! I mean, come on, look at that stance… The billowing cloak, that confident look… That flaming red hair… It just re-ignites my Reno fancy
Erk, the mage!!! Because, he’s a mage, and he has purple hair!!!!!! End of discussion!
Hector as well, because he’s Eliwood’s best friend and a cool guy to be around. 
Damn, there are many others, but I don’t remember them yet because I haven’t played the whole game of Blazing Sword yet (and more will be recruited), and I haven’t re-started to play Sacred Stones, so I cannot remember characters that I liked years ago. (Except Joshua <3 )
Here are the “mug shots” of the characters in Blazing Sword (the one I am currently playing). You can clearly see Eliwood, Hector and Lyn in the first three sprites 
Erk is in the third row). I just think this image is great, colorful, pixel art, and vibrant!
I mean, come on, how can you not like the good guys (and girls)?! They are all so good-looking, beautiful, with amazing outfits and vibrant-colored hair!!!! Sniff…. Why can’t real-life hair be like that…. 
It’s an unrequited wish, I know.
For much more information on the games and characters, visit Fire Emblem Wiki!
Off-topic: I made Sloppy Joes yesterday!!!! YUM! I haven’t eaten it in yeaaars, I had missed it a lot! My mouth is drooling just thinking about it again. Maybe I should visit the kitchen. I took a picture of the dish I made, so when I transfer it to the pc I’ll post it here!
Have you played Fire Emblem? If yes, let’s share our passion together!

Seems So Fun! I’ll have to see if I can get it. My brother and I suddenly got back into game boy! Though we were always more into pokemon… lol its hilarious! I was 5 when I got the Silver game… I remember being so posesive about it…. NO ONE was alowed to play it IT WAS MINE! Now we went back to see it after about 10 years… I had litterally nothing done… all I ever did was wonder around the same village… and to think the HOURS i spent on it! Hilarious!
Well my brother has finished it now… so much for that
I’ll have to give this a try. Because my sister and I were so young we never got the games we wanted. The games we had were things like… barbie things or I remeber a mary kate and ashley one… gawd they were boring! I liked on of the barby ones only becasue it was underwater and I would just move around and look at the different pritily coloured star fish and dolphins… *whimsical day dreaming expression* lol
But I think you have me hookoed just by showing me your favourite characters! I think you are right, hotties indeed! An GAWD I wish I could look like those girls! I mean the way their hair is all floaty and stuff when they aren’t even moving… *enchanted I am*
and their clothes too. I agree, I would like a game like this just for the awesome clothers, hair (haha I love the purple hair too! But I think I like the teal hair better 
or red even…) and awesome drawings… I wonder what it would be like to live as a character like that for a little while. Like if we could do what happened to alice in wonderland and just fall into their life for a bit… incredible!

Yay!!
Thank you so much for taking the time to read my posts and comment on them!!
Haha, I used to play Pokemon Pikachu
Have you played that one?
Haha, you probably enjoying walking around the village xD
You should definitely try it if you like this kind of fantasy turn-based game plus hot characters!
I’ve never bought Barbie games, eek! 
I would assume that indeed they are boring. My sister had bought a Mary-Kate and Ashley one, for riding cars. 
I know exactly what you mean! I would also like to see what it’s like, to be them, look so cool like them, etc.!

Haha, no problem! You write so well and they are so funny! I’m starting from the begining and working my way forward. and I can’t not comment! lol.
Yes I have played it! I think we have just about every pokemon game they made!
Seeing as I had no idea what I was supposed to do… yes I did ;P
Is there an online version? Or only for gameboy… I don’t know where I would find the gameboy game here. Believe me, If I could have helped it I wouldn’t have bought the barbie games. At the time they were the only things out parents would get us. You know. P.G. 5?
I have a polar express game that they made for the movie. That one is actually fun and pretty cool. Ha! My mary kate and ashly one is pretty borring. I think its just fashion and there is litterally no point to it…
Yay! So I’m not alone!
also to be able to do all the magic/wicked tricks/ninja tricks/ awesome fighting sequences would be totally cool! Impossible in the real world as gravity exists…

GameBoy Games can be played now on a computer via the “GBA Emulator” and the Roms (the games) can be found by torrents.
Example : 1100 GBA Games Torrent:

ENJOY !

Ah, the Fire Emblem … A great game for GBA if there ever was one !
I think that I have played only “the sacred stones” because most of the characters from the snapshot ring a bell … not all of them though, so this probably means that I never got to finish the game …
But anyway, since I liked the artwork you posted very much, I’ll give you another reason Erk is cool : He is cynical.
P.S.
Given the purple hair, I thought that you would have liked the Unicorn Rider Girl, quite a lot … I don’t remember her name but it is the first one on the forth row.

Indeed a great game!
You mean Blazing Sword
Those characters aren’t from Sacred Stones. ;P
Ah, Florina… The meek and scared girl.
That is why I don’t like her. She’s like Hinata for pete’s sake, hiding behind Lyn’s skirt. 
Jul 09, 2010 @ 21:09:43
LoL ! Still she does have purple hair.
Plus, I do not see anything wrong with Hinata …
Jul 13, 2010 @ 09:44:15
It’s not purple per say
It’s lighter than lavender!
Plus Florina drives me up the wall with her “mi-mi-mi don’t eat me!!” look/behavior
