Fire Emblem: Awakening: Difference between revisions

Line 8:
The game brings back the world map system of ''Gaiden'' and ''The Sacred Stones'', and reintroduces the Skills system in a form reminiscent of its Tellius incarnation, allowing you to freely swap skills between characters. It sports a graphical style reminiscent of the Tellius games with a more cartoonish bent, sporting a [[Two Point Five D]] map and 3D fights. The character design and portrait art style - the work of [[No More Heroes|Yusuke Kozaki]] - looks like it belongs in a [[Seinen]] anime, which is a fresh departure from the [[Uncanny Valley|overly-realistic]] art style from the DS games. A new feature introduced allows units to gang up on enemies when next to an attacking ally (The exact mechanics of this are unknown). It will be the first first-party Nintendo title to feature paid [[Downloadable Content]], here coming in the form of "episodes" comprising map packs telling side-stories, not unlike ''[[Fire Emblem Akaneia|BS Fire Emblem: Akaneia War Chronicles]]''.
 
After ''[[Fire Emblem Akaneia|New Mystery of the Emblem]]'' failed to make the translation leap, some fans initially feared the possibility of [[No Export for You]]; a European release was confirmed in the February 2012 instalment of Nintendo Direct and as of E3, [[And the Fandom Rejoiced|a North American localization has been confirmed]] by Reggie Fils-Aime after the Nintendo 3DS Software Showcase event, with no release date given. No translated title has yet been confirmed,<ref>that it's actually being translated was only confirmed mid-February, wherein it was tentatively called just "''Fire Emblem"''</ref>, it's universally known by a straight translation of its Japanese name, ''Fire Emblem: Kakusei'' (though given [[No Export for You|this series' history]], that's really nothing new), which Nintendo of America has registered a domain for (though currently it just redirects to NOA's main Web site).

Line 24:
* [[Badass Family]]: Due to the second generation, you can have one.
* {{spoiler|[[Bad Future]]}}: {{spoiler|Lucina hails from one, where [[Player Character|MU]] [[Grand Theft Me|was killed and possessed by Gimle]], [http://i46.tinypic.com/e9stas.jpg killed Krom], and [[Omnicidal Maniac|Gimle]] as well as [[Zombie Apocalypse|the corpse soldiers]] [[Earthshattering Kaboom|killed everything]]. Knowing that, her [[Anti-Hero]] disposition, and later [[The Woobie|woobification]] is justified.}}
* [[Black and White Morality]]: Seemingly, the issue between Iris and Perezia. Iris worships the benevolent [[Light Is Good|Divine Dragon]] [[God Is Good|Naga]], ruled by the kind and just [[Reasonable Authority Figure|Emelina]], and minus the Vigilance Force, is mainly peaceful. Perezia, on the other hand, worships the monstrous [[Dark Is Evil|Dark Dragon]] [[God of Evil|Gimle]], ruled by the cruel [[The Caligula|Gangrel]], and at least a portion of it's people are Barbarians who like to [[Rape, Pillage and Burn]]. Even the [[Token Heroic Orc|Token Heroic Orcs]]s, [[Black Magician Girl|Sariya]] and [[Sociopathic Hero|Henry]], don't even seem to be that heroic.
* [[Bucket Helmet]]: Villager class is badly equipped, and wears these.
* {{spoiler|[[Came Back Wrong]]: [[Damaged Soul|Of the Damaged Soul Variety in the case of]] Emelina who is resurrected in a late/post game spotpass-sidequest... tragically she has amnesia so bad she can't even talk right. [[Bittersweet Ending|Her condition is stated to never improve, but ends up living a simple happy life.]]}}
Line 36:
* [[Cult]]: The ''entire nation'' of Perezia is a theocracy dedicated to the worship of the ''[[Obviously Evil|Evil Dragon]]'' Gimle.
** [[Religion of Evil]]
* [[Dangerously Genre Savvy]]: The ''Developers themselves'', when designing the "Entombed Heaven" [[Downloadable Content|DLC]] chapter. Its very existance shows they know full well that players love to exploit Entombed for easy EXP, but made sure if you just blindly rush in and started beating them up, you'll be met with a nasty surprise... {{spoiler|Level 30 Entombed with Counter. Given that Entombed have massive HP, but abysmal Defence, that's an awful lot of damage coming right back at you...}}
* [[Darker and Edgier]]: Looks like it'll be the darkest ''Emblem'' yet. The Seinen-esque art style indicates a shift towards a more mature tone, promotional cutscenes are ''not'' afraid of showing how many people are going to die in the upcoming invasions, [[Incorruptible Pure Pureness|"Marth"]] seems to have become an [[Anti-Hero]] ''[[Fallen Hero|at]] [[Rogue Protagonist|best]]''... Oh, and the second dragon? The one that'll cause the world's destruction? Yeah, turns out that's not so much a dragon as it is a ''borderline [[Eldritch Abomination]]''. Whatever happened to the world after Marth was crowned, it was ''bad''.
* [[The Dev Team Thinks of Everything]]: Every possible pairing has a totally unique set of supports justifying it, and every pair of children who could potentially end up as siblings have unique supports if they do.
Line 64:
* [[Mythology Gag]]: Serge's wyvern is named [[Fire Emblem Akaneia|Minerva]].
* [[Nerf]]: The forging system seems to have had one, compared to how utterly broken it was in the preveous two games. You can now only give a limited number of 'buffs' to a single weapon, meaning you can no longer forge both Might and Critical up to max. You'll need to choose between a weapon that hits ''really'' hard all the time, or one that's slightly weaker but criticals more often.
** The [[Fire Emblem Jugdral|Holy Weapons, such as Tyrfing, Holsety, and Narga]] used to have 30 MT and ludicrous bonuses. Now they've got Between 14 and 20 MT, and those bonuses are down from 30/40/80 Stat points to 5/10. [[Nerf|Nerfed]]ed indeed.
* [[Pimped-Out Dress]]: [[Fire Emblem the Sacred Stones|Eirika's]] new [http://serenesforest.net/fe13/img/dlc0607_img.jpg DLC costume.] Complete with [[Giant Poofy Sleeves]], [[Frills of Justice]], and what appears to be [[Impossibly Cool Clothes|sheer]] [[Fluffy Fashion Feathers]]. May double as a [[Battle Ballgown]].
* [[Player Character]]: My Unit, you get to select your gender, [[Hello, Insert Name Here|name him or her]], select a character portrait and model, and select his or her voice. You're locked in with the [[The Strategist]] class though.
Line 83:
* [[Yandere]]: {{spoiler|Sariya, as one could tell from her various support conversations, especially the ones she has with [[Audience Surrogate|My Unit]]... hopefully you don't have a nice boat...}}
* [[You Don't Look Like You]]: [[Fire Emblem Tellius|Ike and Micaiah]]'s appearances in Marth's DLC. Their battle models [http://www.kano-bi.com/3ds/fekdlc6.jpg are], [http://www.kano-bi.com/3ds/fekdlc5.jpg well]...
* [[Zettai Ryouiki]]: Thus far, the biggest examples are ''males'', in the form of Krom and Marth,<ref>It still counts, as DLC Marth wears the same outfit as "Marth"</ref>, who score a grade-A!
* [[Zombie Apocalypse]]: Like [[Fire Emblem the Sacred Stones|Sacred Stones]], one's getting underway with the mass appearance of "Corpse Soldiers"... {{spoiler|There's a [[Bad Future]] where it got to full-fledged Apocalypse levels.}}
