What's with all these GBA Fire Emblem games?
So I'm cruising around ebay for a copy of Fire Emblem Sacred Stones for the GBA (having just finished the first GBA Fire Emblem) and up pop several titles I never heard of, e.g. Binding Blade, Requiem, Corrupt Theocracy, Last Promise, and Sword of Seals. What exactly are these and are any of them worthwhile? Google gave me conflicting and incomplete information. I don't read Japanese so if they're just relabeled imports I wouldn't be interested. Thanks for any info.

I'm gonna guess that most or all of those are reproductions of hacks.
Most likely this.
Fire Emblem as we know it here is FE 7.
Sacred Stones is FE 8.
Requiem, Corrupt Theocracy, Last Promise are all fan hacks/complete games usually using the FE 7 engine.
FE 7 is my second favorite game of all time. I really wish I had more time to dig into all these fan made games. Check out the FE reddit, has a huge amount of info on the games and they do a podcast that I listen to, its pretty amazing how much those guys play these games!
