| Dand said: I am starting to feel like the europeans, about the anxiety to play this game. The release of the game in my country has been delayed 2 times already, the anxiety is killing me. It was to be released 02/15, then 02/20, and now it is 02/28, but there is no confirmation. Nintendo did something really wrong about the shipping manegement of Awakening. Oh, one more thing, this will be my first fire emblem, any advices about gameplay? I played the demo and had no difficuties on normal and hard, but on lunatic i cant even pass half the first stage. So i will be playing on hard. And about "Pair Up" i dont like this feature, is it really important? I get just a few bonus status but "lose" one unit while pairing, i dont see much gain. |
It is partially necessary, in one part to increase Support chances and in another because taking on foes straight up early on is difficult... at least in Hard mode (which of my two saves is all I've played).
It gives some of your wounded units a chance to still be effective by boosting another units stats, you sort of miss the Rescue option as there is no way when you pair up to get the character initiating it to be the main without the other unit having a turn left as another poster said leaving some units out exposed when you make a mistake but it makes for some great encounters when you get two or 4 attacks or a critical support block.
