The thirteenth ''[[Fire Emblem]]'' game, the first original title (as in, not a remake) since ''[[Fire Emblem Tellius|Radiant Dawn]]'' in 2007, and set nearly 2000 years after [[Fire Emblem Akaneia|the third game and its remake]]. It stars Chrom, [[You Gotta Have Blue Hair|yet another blue haired swordsman]] and the prince of the Iris Kingdom who leads a vigilante force, and a player-created custom character who acts as both a strategist and part of his force who he finds with amnesia at the start of the game.
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 [[Shonen]] anime. A new feature introduced allows units to gang up on enemies when next to an attacking ally (
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, a North American localization has been confirmed by Reggie Fils-Aime after the Nintendo 3DS Software Showcase event, with no release date given. It was eventually revealed that it would be first (and thus far only) game in the series to use a straight translation of its Japanese name

* [[Adorkable]]: Enforced with the "Confessions" scenes the [[Audience Surrogate|
* [[Ambidextrous Sprite]]: Averted with Chrom, who has [http://www.serenesforest.net/fe13/img/15022012C.jpg two different portraits]{{Dead link}} for when he faces left or right.
* [[Anime Hair]]: Present, but nowhere ''near'' the level of what was previously feared by some. [https://web.archive.org/web/20131107055839/http://serenesforest.net/fe13/character.html Out of all the characters revealed so far], only
* [[Art Shift]]: The new art style for this game is a radical departure from previous games.
* [[Ascended Extra]]: Anna, the [[Plucky Girl|plucky]] [[Series Mascot|mascot]] of ''Fire Emblem'' who has only made [[One-Scene Wonder|walk-on appearances]] in every game so far, is ''finally'' recruitable.
Line 22:
* [[Awesome but Impractical]]: Most mixed physical/magic units have lower caps for their offensive stats than most pure classes and few characters have the growth rates to use both well.
* [[Badass Family]]: Due to the second generation, you can have one.
* {{spoiler|[[Bad Future]]}}:
* [[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|
* [[Bribing Your Way to Victory]]: A few DLC chapters seem to smell strongly of this, such as one in which enemies drop enormous amounts of gold, one consisting entirely of Entombed (pathetically weak undead enemies that give [[Level Grinding|huge amounts of exp]]) and, perhaps most
* [[Bucket Helmet]]: Villager class is badly equipped, and wears these.
* [[The Cavalry]]:
* {{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.]]}}▼
** The second "real" chapter of the game has Lissa, the Avatar, Frederick, and Chrom fending off a horde of Risen. After several turns, Sully and an archer appears to lend a hand or two against the undead.
* [[The Cameo]]: Characters from past ''[[Fire Emblem]]'' games will show up in some downloadable chapters. So far, [[Fire Emblem Akaneia|Claire from Gaiden]], [[Fire Emblem Jugdral|Ira from Genealogy of the Holy War]], and [[Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones|Innes from The Sacred Stones]] have been announced.▼
** The sixth chapter has Panne and Marth joining the fray to help the Shepherds drive off Emmeryn's would-be assassins.
** The next chapter has Cordelia joining your team to warn you about the wave of enemy reinforcements who slaughtered her unit.
** Despite being your allies throughout the game, Flavia and Basilio won't join the Shepherds until the twenty-third chapter to counter a wave of Grimleal reinforcements
▲* {{spoiler|[[Came Back Wrong]]: [[Damaged Soul|Of the Damaged Soul Variety in the case of]]
▲* [[The Cameo]]: Characters from past ''[[Fire Emblem]]'' games will show up in some downloadable chapters. So far, [[Fire Emblem Akaneia|Claire from ''Gaiden'']], [[Fire Emblem Jugdral|Ira from ''Genealogy of the Holy War'']], and [[Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones|Innes from ''The Sacred Stones'']] have been announced.
** [[Marth Debuted in Smash Bros]]: Likely going to be the case, seeing as half the games weren't released outside of Japan
* [[Canon Welding]]:
* [[Canon Welding]]: {{spoiler|My Unit's child will be a tactician named Mark, sharing the same outfit and default name as the player avatar from [[Fire Emblem Elibe|the 7th game]] and the game already has dimension hopping. The best ranking in the Japanese version of 7 also gives Mark the same "Grandmaster" title as promoted My Unit. The English translation erases these allusions by naming the character "Morgan" instead.}}▼
** Even WITHOUT the dimension-warping aspect of this game, there's overwhelming evidence in this game that every other ''Fire Emblem'' game is indeed in the same universe. Taking the dimension-warping into account, it seems that some worlds are historically connected while others are [[Mutually Fictional]], such that characters have heard the stories of the other games as folklore and songs rather than history.

** The continent ''Gaiden'' took place on appears later in the story.
** The Holy Weapons from [[Fire Emblem Jugdral|the Jugdral games]] make an
** Donny and Olivia's supports {{spoiler|reference Naesala and Leanne}}!
* [[The Computer Is a Cheating Bastard]]: From Serenes Forest's page on forging: "There is an overall limit of 8 intervals that can be raised per weapon. For example, you can raise Might by 5 intervals and Critical by 3 intervals, but no more than that. [...] Enemies on higher difficulties can have weapons that exceed the 8 interval limit." That should tell you enough. And then there's the enemy-exclusive Skills for Lunatic Mode, which include one that ''always'' makes them hit, regardless of stats and [[Oh Crap|a Luna that ALWAYS activates
* [[Contemptible Cover]]: The cover of the manual shows nothing but a
* [[Cult]]: The ''entire nation'' of Perezia is a theocracy dedicated to the worship of the ''[[Obviously Evil|Evil Dragon]]''
** [[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...
* [[Double Standard]]: The translation changes Nowi
* [[Downloadable Content]]: Marth (the real one) and a remake of the first stage of the original game was Nintendo's first DLC. [[Fire Emblem Elibe|Roy]], [[Fire Emblem Jugdral|Leaf]], [[Fire Emblem Akaneia|Alm]], [[Fire Emblem Tellius|Micaiah, Elincia]], [[Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones|Ephraim, Eirika]]
* [[Dropped a Bridget On Him]]:
* [[Evil Sorcerer]]:
* [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin]]: DLC Eirika's Class, "Bride"... guess what that looks like?
* [[Giant Flyer]]: The dark dragon
* [[Hot Dad]]
* [[Hotter and Sexier]]:
*
** Most of the DLC versions of the female lords.
* {{spoiler|[[I Have Your Wife
* [[Impossibly Cool Clothes]]: Whereas the entire franchise so far has generally maintained a (relatively) realistic and practical bent in its character design, this game so far leans much more in the direction of this trope. The best examples by far are the knight characters.
* [[Intercontinuity Crossover]]: 120 Characters from all past ''Fire
* [[Kissing Cousins]]: Being cousins does ''not'' prevent children from reaching an S Support with eachother. The English version avoids mention of them being married but otherwise changes nothing.
* [[Lady of War]]:
* [[Launcher of a Thousand Ships]]: My Unit in-universe. This would be one of the most controversial parts of the

* [[Mark of the Beast|Mark of Naga]]: As proof of their [[Heroic Lineage]],
* [[Super Move Portrait Attack|Mastery Skill Portrait Attack]]: The cut-in also occurs on critical hits.

* [[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. In the Japanese version, you could select one of four personalities as well.
* [[Powerful, but Inaccurate]]: While axes are like this in comparison to swords and lances, the differences are normally pretty subtle. However, [[https://fireemblem.fandom.com/wiki/Imposing_Axe| the Imposing Axe]] manages to be least accurate weapon in the game and hitting harder than most of the weapons, despite it's low ranking.
* [[Red Eyes, Take Warning]]: The Corpse Soldiers, in both their portraits and battle animations.
* [[Relationship Values]]: The relationship system and children from ''[[Fire Emblem Jugdral]]'' [https://web.archive.org/web/20140830184244/http://andriasang.com/con0hp/fire_emblem_love/ returns]. Most controversially is the avatar [[Dating Sim|getting in on the action]], which many fans would claim got too much of a focus and was aimed at the wrong kind of player.
* [[The Reveal]]: {{spoiler|"Marth" is actually Lucina, Chrom's daughter from the future
* [[Shaggy Dog Story]]: The cast has been through two wars, an cult that's bent on destroying the world and zombies; and the prize for Chrom "killing" Grima is the revelation that he'll be back within a millennium or two.
* [[Spell My Name with an "S"]]: Nono's daughter is named ンン, roughly pronounched un-un or nn-nn. How are you supposed to spell that? The translation goes with "Nah".▼
* [[Someone Elses Problem]]: The heroes' justification for dealing with Grima after he's been sealed away is to hope that someone will triumph over him once he reappears an undefined time in the future.
▲* [[Spell My Name with an "S"]]:
* [[Spoiler Opening]]
* [[Stock Subtitle]]:
* [[Sturgeon's Law]]: Mild example. The Avatar has the most Support conversation options out of any character. Especially if not romancing the character in question, many of them are a bit more bland and less personal than between other characters due to the Avatar's fairly down-to-earth personality and lack of personal connection to many of the characters. That said, they're still worth reading for sure.
* [[This Loser Is You]]: Completely inverted. Not only does
* [[Time Skip]]: ''Awakening'' is a direct sequel to the [[Fire Emblem Akaneia|Archanea series]], though technology is unchanged.
* {{spoiler|[[Timey-Wimey Ball]]: Your characters' children come from the future in order to prevent the end of the world. Expect a a lot of this
* [[Variable Mix]]: The battle music on most maps is a variation of the map's theme, shifting into the arrangement as the scene changes.
* [[Yandere]]:
* [[You Don't Look Like You]]: Due to each DLC having wildly different artists with no style consistently, few characters are recognizable.
* [[Zettai Ryouiki]]: Thus far, the biggest examples are ''males'', in the form of Chrom 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|The Sacred Stones]]'', one's getting underway with the mass appearance of "Corpse Soldiers"...
