Fire Emblem Awakening


First off, I didn't post this in the official FE thread because of possible spoilers and things like that. I don't want to know anything specific about the games story or anything. 

I normally do a lot of research before I buy anything and games are no exception. I make sure what I buy will be worth the price. Yet, I sometimes get hyped and buy a game simply because people are saying its good. I did this twice on the Wii and regretted both purchases immensely. (The first was Metroid Prime 3 Corruption and the second was Conduit 2 in case anyone cared to know) I don't want to make that same mistake again.

I never played a Fire Emblem game before until yesterday when I tried the FEA demo. My impressions are below.    

 

  •  Nice graphics and 3D
  • Interesting story so far and wanted to know more
  • Very easy (I am more of a casual gamer though. Metroid was way too difficult for me and I didn't understand the story at all)
  • Repetitive gameplay (Move your guys + Attack + Watch cutscene, and repeat)
  • Is Marth a girl? 
  • I had fun playing the demo and was disappointed when it said "too be continued" yet, wasn't entirely convinced that I wouldn't get board after a while.

 

Some of My favorite games series are Animal Crossing, Mario, (All with Paper being my favorite) Resident Evil, Pikmin, LittleBigPlanet, Super Smash Bros, and Wii Series if that helps.

 So based off of the above information, is the Fire Emblem series right for me? Specifically, would I enjoy Awakening?

If you liked the gameplay, yes. Fire Emblem has several difficulty settings and this new game even has the option to disable permanent deaths of characters, so it should offer the right amount of challenge for pretty much everyone.

Marth is not a girl. Japanese character design just tends to be misleading at times.


You can disable battle animations, so the game plays much more fluently. So it's move, attack, move the next unit, attack etc. without constant interruptions.

If you had trouble determining if Marth's gender then Libra from Awakening is gonna make your head spin.

it depends , have played other , strategy games , and liked them? , this game can be very difficult , but if you play on the normal difficulty you'll be okay.
the game has an okay story, but the characters are likeable , and the dialog is sometimes funny.
also it has a lot of extra content , but that won't be worth anything if you didn't like the gameplay,
it's always turn based and doesn't change ( what happens on the battlefied is different everytime but the mechanics are the same)
i would say give it a shot if you are intrigued by the story ,you won't be dissapointed



If you like Paper Mario then you will love Fire Emblem

I think you'll like it. You could always check out the official thread for more information and too see what other people are saying!

And you think it's easy? Playing on Normal Casual by any chance?

Yes, I like all Paper Mario games including Super. The original is my favorite by far though.

Also, how do you quote multiple people? I've seen other people do it, just not often. I wanted to quote Rol and the guy with the cat avater too but didn't want to triple post.



If you have to ask then you don't deserve to play it.
