Questions & Answers

Does this game still make sense/fit into my life if I have never played a Fire Emblem game before?

In fact, yes. There are some references to older games in this game, but none of it is necessary to understand the plot. The game also has a nice tutorial and different levels of difficulty you can choose from. In order to enjoy the game you need to enjoy strategy games in general, where you have to plan out your moves rather than rely on quick reactions.

It has been said that there is a PermaDeath in the Fire Emblem series. Does that mean that I am permanently dead? Is it possible to turn it off, if so?

It is true that permadeath is permanent. There is something unique about this particular fire emblem game in that it allows players to toggle permadeath off. This option has not been available before in the Fire Emblem games.

Compared to its predecessors, why has Fire Emblem Awakening captured the imagination of gamers so far?

As far as characters go, Fire Emblem Awakening has a lot more than other games I've played, and the support conversations give a lot of insight into the characters' past. It is also pleasing to the eye to see the animated scenes. This game is divided into 25 chapters and there are side stories called paralogues which usually add new characters to the story. My time spent playing Awakening is quite a bit longer than the time I spent playing other games. This should help a little bit.

Can you tell me what sort of 3DS region lock this game has? Does it depend on the source of your order?

According to what I've read, the server is U.S. only. According to my system, it works just fine in the US.

Selected User Reviews For Fire Emblem: Awakening

Please be aware! There is no region for that country! It is a good game in its own right
3/5

Please read the warning I am leaving for people buying from this website Your edition will likely be passed off as a US edition, but it will come from an edition located in the Middle East or Southeast Asia. Those of you who don't care about the different regions are free to do whatever you want. However, it's frustrating to see one thing advertised and received Several reviews have noticed that a small black sticker has been placed over an icon on the front that indicates it is for UAE, Saudi Arabia, Malaysia, and Singapore, but the text on the back states that it is compatible with 3DS devices sold in Singapore, Malaysia, UAE, and Saudi Arabia.

The Fire Emblem game I initially bought for my husband wasn't something I was interested in playing at first I thought it sucked-- In order to play it with my husband, I had ordered this
5/5

I finally tried it because he kept insisting that I do so. Our 3DS was never seen again after that. We are at the.

The game is great, but "new" is the region of UAE and Southeast Asia
3/5

It is great game, but bear in mind that if you buy the game "new" from Amazon you are likely to receive a copy marked for sale in the Southeast Asia/UAE region. While the game is available in English, is identical to US region, and is compatible with US 3DS systems, it is considered be less collectible than the US region version, which has been out of print for a long time. If you only care about playing the game, this need not bother you, but if you are a collector, you may want to look elsewhere.

This was a fantastic first play
3/5

I'm glad I got to play it earlier this year because a relative loaned it After I tried again, I was so convinced that I loved it. She isn't playing a trick on you, I assure you. In the end, I decided to buy it when I didn't get an answer. It began to rain almost every day after that, so there was no time for that. As soon as it came to pass, it was well worth the effort. It wasn't until I got to the end of the game that I noticed this. Here are some of the perks I'm going to talk about before I arrive. It partly owes its success to the story and characters, which include fighting a war on two continents before facing a god on the nape of a god. It would have been less enjoyable if he wasn't a giant dragon because the final boss theme dilutes the entertainment value. The dragons do not bother me As far as the most recent game is concerned, there are just a few final bosses that aren't dragons. In my opinion, the appeal of the game is that it is not black or white. I would discover several months after my first playthrough that the villains you recruit are good people who left evil intentions behind. Only Aversa would differ because she is told that she is being manipulated by Robin. As a result, the heroes of this story should not As I mentioned earlier, I was simply going to mention Chrom and Panne. However, I decided against it since the story and support conversations explain everything. If you pair Sully and Panne for the Summer Scramble DLC, you will get bonus points. (Nevertheless, there are some characters in the film who are like walking stereotypes, or at least they are one dimensional It is a trick pony. Of course all of us have a characteristic that sets us apart from each other. it is easy to forget these things when they are later remembered for another reason. Taking my man Lon'qu as an example, he can suppress his fear of women in certain situations but is afraid of women otherwise. That, and if you train him properly, you'll be able to beat him at near-untouchable speed. As a new player, I was overwhelmed by the combat at first. (Mind you, this is my first copy. ) I like how the combat has been explained. I also found that mastering the system was challenging. The number of units might have had to withdraw first to win a battle for someone who often won. Finally, I think the quality of my play has improved with play from another FE game in the past The only thing I will say is that's all I can say about it. That being said, it would be nice to be able to pair up before a battle. Also, it would be nice if pairing up with a mounted unit gave you more In addition to their item description, I need to make a brief observation on the seals. Neither One nor the other resets the character's level to 1, but the Master Seal allows you to choose either The following advanced courses are available. On the other hand, the Second Seal does not pigeonhole you in the same way most of the time. You can actually keep your units within a certain class of units at the end of the game. As a final note on this subject, I would like to mention Because I just went through it in a flash, I did not do as much as I should have. After this second attempt, I decided to do a lot more, and it was successful. Owain and Morgan (male and female), both inherit the characteristics of Galeforce (the mother of the Dark Flier). The Wyvern Valley episode (paralogue 11) is even more impressive. While Lucina was about to beat this Ruffian, he activated Vantage. gave Olivia the Myrmidon for her first order and then the Swordmaster for her next order because I'm trying to follow a guide someone else wrote. After the Aether activation, the Critical animation followed right away. My telling you, she crossed that fool into the Shadow Realm with all her might! Lethality has been applied four times in a single fight against her. I should start off by saying most of the Support Conversations I either like or don't mind. In reality, there are often some bad events, such as most of the interactions between Chrom and FeMU (and this is supposed to be the intended couple). As well as Brady and Kjelle, as well as the B-class We will support both the latter ) It is clear that you aren't the last of your kind if you're expandable. There is more to them than that, of course. While I was deciding whether or not to recruit Nah, I regretted it after seeing her a few times. The fact that part of a wall will be an entry doesn't help her Paralogue become monotonous as the story goes on. There will never be a shortage of them unless they decide to stop being Another point to note is that some characters refuse to communicate even when it makes sense to do so. suppose I could pick Lon'qu and Basilio as examples because they both appear to respect each other, right? In any case, I can't say that this is a huge issue since quality bonding was what I saw more often than not. In a sense, Cordelia's situation is justified in terms of hazing. Despite the fact that the songs aren't annoying or bland, I wouldn't go so far as to say this game has one of the worst OSTs. Rather, I would state that most of the songs are not As for songs that stood out to me, only Id(Purpose/Serenity/Sorrow), Divine Decree (Ablaze), and a few others I don't remember are among them. In case you're wondering, it's the song that plays when you fight Validar in the premonition, while the support dialogue song plays when you watch it. The reviewer did his best to ensure the review was accurate. To be clear, I have to mention the issues that prevented me from giving three stars to this product. A second problem is that allies were not subject to double rolling. By putting two numbers in the hit rate, wouldn't that make the experience more fair for players? Wouldn't the same principle apply to allied players? have sided with the Stonewall Knights (Paralogue 17) and I can say they got slaughtered in large numbers while the other band has more remaining members. I almost lost Yarne, even though he was the only reason I chose a side. And, I missed out on the chance to buy a Dracoshield (raises Defense) and a Master Seal because every attack landed on him. It wasn't helpful for her to charge an enemy with only 6 health. Even though this was not my first attempt, it still ended up being a complete failure. learned that you can always turn off the 3DS if you are not happy with a match. It will appear a new enemy as soon as you turn it on again. I backed out of this one due to the paralogues, but they're not the only ones.

As for the paralogue, I actually backed out of it due to the paralogues. Due to the scale-working of enemies, my character in question only has 31 health. Therefore, I backed out. The mission is an escort mission as well. This particular mission is for a good cause, but Holland seems scared of its outcomes, so it still goes against everyone's wishes. However, it has a good story to tell, a nice cast, decent songs, and quite an engaging story to tell. Children can interact with the environment in a variety of ways, from entertaining to disappointing and overpowered. Although it does have some flaws, it is still worth considering. The point has come where I realize rushing through (for the most part) is more enjoyable than taking my time. (Shouldn't the other way around be the case?) That being said, if you think I'm being too harsh, I encourage you to try it, so you can let me know how it goes. If the seller doesn't change or you want to try someplace else, FunXpress always sells the World Edition at a lower price. (Yes, cheaper since the actual listing is about $50. ) Wait for the seller to change or look somewhere else. In my opinion, that is dishonest, even though it may work. In fact, they have crossed out an entry I wrote about this on the product feedback page in August.

This is amazing
5/5

There's nothing better than this game. This is simply I played through all the Fates games when I first turned to Fire Emblem This is one of my favorite books I was told that Awakening is the better game by one of my friends. Because I enjoyed Fates games so much, I was very skeptical about Awakening. However, once I played it, I realized that it was actually quite good In that sense, he was correct. In addition to the story line being more focused than Fates, the challenge level feels more balanced, and the animations and general aesthetic aspects are on par with Fates. You will enjoy this game if you are a fan of Fire Emblem. The Fire Emblem game I recommend starting with is this one if you're interested in trying a Fire Emblem game for the first time. I have rarely played a game that had such a captivating and entertaining atmosphere as this game did The gameplay experience will be unique and fun while keeping true to the story. When it comes to this game, my only regret is that I am not able to play it again for the first time.

The title is one of my favorites in the FreeE series
5/5

I consider it to be one of my favorite games of all time, and it's not hard to understand Fire Emblem is still one of my favorite game series (I've been playing it since the GBA era back in 2003) of all time and this entry is what revitalized the franchise and saved it from being discontinued. As far as I am concerned, it had everything I wanted out of Fire Emblem back in 2013, and I am still enjoying it Those who are interested in starting to play the series or who simply want to play a decent strategy game will benefit from it. Just be aware that the game can sometimes be quite challenging, especially the Lunatic mode. Fire Emblem's Normal Mode is the best place to start if you're new to the game. There is also a permanent option in this game Because the game restarts automatically, unless you want to keep reloading, you would have no choice but to turn permanent The light has gone out. Due to the fact that the game was released on the 3DS in 2013, which is now an obsolete system, it is possible that the DLC may not work at the present time. Fire Emblem Awakening gets an easy 5/5 from me, as my final verdict.
