What is your favorite critical quote? Please only talk about the Awakening critical quotes considering Fates hasn't come out yet. I'd have to say mine is between "Errr...Rage!" and "Checkmate!"

Now Fates is far from the first game to pull characters from a previous FE, but with it bringing back Inigo, Severa, Owain and in a loose way bringing back Cordelia, Tharja and Gaius through reincarnation of sorts. Despite there being zero connection between Awakening & Fates other than the Gate being a connection to the various universes, which is very unlike the other times characters appeared in other games, which was usually due to them being sequels in universe with other FE's etc. Are we to expect to see the same thing in FE15? Where they take the most popular Fates characters and rehash them/further develop them despite them not fitting in whatsoever? Figured it could be an interesting discussion topic, as I would only like to see characters from Fates come back as like some kind of bonus at most, and not like how Inigo, Severa and Owain did. Although Inigo is one of my favorite characters in both games, it almost feels like IS wants to make sure people recognize that Fates is in the same franchise as Awakening despite sharing a franchise name, they seem afraid of trying to let a game stand on its own now. Despite the fact that, the gameplay is very stellar, a massive improvement over Awakening, unless its Revelation, but thats another deal entirely.

I've been trying to make battle/map sprites for some of my favorite characters, so here's what I have so far. Shadow Dragon Battle Sprites: Credit to Bonzai for the sniper sprite used as a base for Jeorge: http://spritedatabase.net/file/3081 and for the sage sprite used for Linde, Tiki, Nagi, and Nyna: http://spritedatabase.net/files/gba/990/Sprite/EnemyFemaleSage.gif as well as the rogue sprite used for Xane: http://spritedatabase.net/files/gba/991/Sprite/Rogue.gif Credit to Grim for the myrmidon sprite used as a base for Athena: http://s58.photobuck...es/Fir.gif.html and for the Lyon sprite used for Etzel: http://spritedatabase.net/files/gba/991/Sprite/Lyon.gif as well as the nomad sprite used for Wolf: http://spritedatabase.net/files/gba/990/Sprite/NomadTrooper.gif Credit to Grim and Bonzai for the hero sprites used as a base for Caesar, Horace, and Astram: http://spritedatabase.net/file/3097http://spritedatabas...prite/Hero2.gif Falcon Knight sprites and female Bishop sprites used for Maria, Caeda, Palla, Catria, Est, Elice, and Nyna found at http://www.feplanet.net Naga Map Sprites: Pheros Map Sprites: Layla Map Sprites: Human Lilith Map Sprites: Mikoto Class Change Sprites: Arete Class Change Sprites: Sumeragi Class Change Sprites: I'm planning to probably make map sprites for human Anankos next, and then maybe battle sprites for characters from New Mystery, Gaiden, Genealogy and Thracia. Feel free to use any of them, just give credit if you do. Thanks for looking!

So I had a thought the other day on how amiibo were integrated into the game. If you're unaware, Fates can tell if you have Awakening streetpass data and give you an emblem shield accessory, which means it's capable of reading this streetpass data to some degree. My thought is, why couldn't Fates at the very least detect your avatar customizations from the Awakening streetpass data and change the appearance of Robin to match when the amiibo was scanned? I feel like this was a missed opportunity here by IS.

So, you know how Sumia and Chrom both have limited marriages? ...I made a challenge out of it, kinda. You need a number randomizer for this. Here are the rules: You can only randomize number once per character, except when you get a repeat of number. You must make sure all the ships happen before the end of the game. You must use the children, and all of the children, of the ships you get, the first time you battle Grima on that file. (Be it DLC or other things) For Chrom, if the game forces him to marry a different character than he is supposed to... RESET AND DO THAT CHAPTER AGAIN, MAKING SURE HE GETS THE CORRECT WAIFU! And if he needs to marry Olivia and he force marries the one that needs to marry Henry... Game Over. Grinding in any method is allowed. Other than the randomized pairings, you have freedom in the shipping. The way you randomize it is this: The males are numbered. 1 is Chrom, 2 is Gaius, 3 is Frederick, and 4 is Henry. For each female you will use a number randomizer to select a number from 1 to 4. Whichever one you get marries that female character. If you get a repeat of a number, randomize again until you don't have a repeat in number. For the fourth female, just marry her to whichever male is left. Here is my result: Sumia X Gaius Maribelle X Chrom Sully X Frederick Olivia X Henry I am not too unhappy with it, but I could've gotten better ships...

Has anyone successfully messed with the 3d character models yet? I'm trying to do some character model swaps from "Fates->Awakening" and "Awakening->Awakening", where you take a 3d model (ex: Iron Sword) from Fates/Awakening, and I'm trying to put that model in for a different weapon (ex: Bronze Sword) in Awakening. I've noticed an extreme lack of matching file types between the games (Fates: bin.lz, bch.lz, ect./Awakening: m.lz, r.lz, ect.), and I'm wondering if there are any programs that we can use to convert said files into the other type. I've tried just "renaming" the fates one, it crashes as soon as you try to load the model. Is this what I'd use the Nightmare program to do, or is this beyond our reach at this moment?

Welcome to another playthrough, in which I try to get a low turncount in FE13 Lunatic. I'll make a turn-by-turn playlog for each chapter, but will try to make a video of the final chapter + Epilogue. I sadly don't have the pre-C3 strats in much detail, since C3 is when I started writing them and the stats down. I can describe the Prologue strategy off the top of my head, but my C1 and C2 strats differ from the clears KoT did (with the same turncount), so sorry about this. I'll try to reconstruct some details after the playthrough. While I only allow for 1000 renown and below and will stay true to that, I think it's fair to allow more renown items, such as the speedwings since Robin's ability to double C5's wyvern riders depends on good growths for both her and Chrom, whereas with the speedwings, Robin needs a Spd proc less and Chrom's doesn't matter. Anyway, Rules: - Lunatic / Classic mode. - Low turncount is the primary goal, but if a strategy is too unreliable to be pulled off reasonably, I might choose to avoid it. I don't draw an exact line when it comes to reliability, though. - Renown items are allowed up to the Bullion (L). - All gen 1 units must be recruited, second gen characters are optional. No deaths of recruited characters are allowed. - Paralogues 1, 2, 3, 4 and 17 are mandatory, it doesn't matter when they are done. Children paralogues are optional. All paralogues are counted for turns. - Skirmishes and DLC are banned. - Bonus box weapons are banned, obtaining items or recruits from the bonus box teams is disallowed. Using bonus teams to rout skirmishes or to replicate blocked shops is fair game. - Items from shining tiles and Anna shops are banned. I mustn't step onto shining tiles unless it is ideal for the strategy. Since FEWoD doesn't have FE13 maps past C9 and only displays normal mode enemies, you can view them on this site: http://kamikouryaku.com/kakusei/ .

So, I was just curious, as I have seen one or two fanfics in which characters of the Fire Emblem world (mainly Fates and Awakening) are gender bent. It's not always all of the characters, either-for example, I've seen fics where characters such as Libra (Awakening) and Forrest (Fates), who many people mistook as girls, are the only gender-bent characters, for no reason other than some shipping purposes I suppose. I was curious if that was a popular thing done in fanfiction, or if its taboo or if people genuinely don't care. Thoughts?

What were your favorite parings in awakening?

I just went through my old Disney track list on Spotify, and I just brainstormed for some reason how a fanmade animated scene with Fire Emblem Awakening Characters singing the songs would look. so here are some I figured out would make sense: I'll make a man out of you (Mulan) = Chrom as Li Sheng, Cordelia as Mulan and Kellan, Gregor and Donnel as those other comical characters. Also, rename the song to "Somehow I'll make Support S with you" (I wish) :P Let it go (Frozen) = Maribelle as Elsa, just imagine her through a class change with a Second Seal to a Sage (that perfect girl is gone!). Zero to Hero (Hercules) = Frederick as Hercules, because we all know how much of a hero he is in Lunatic Mode's first 4 chapters :) Gimme your ideas!

I just got this game and am really bad, any tips for a beginner?

I've heard some units are bad and really aren't worth using because there better ones to get, i would like to know which units are worth using.

Something hit me the other day regarding Awakening. Oh, uh, spoilers, by the way. Validar tells you later in the game that he's had spies on you since the Carrion Isle map, but he never says whether or not they were Risen. The first time I played I figured that's what he meant, but what if Henry was his spy? Suddenly ol' Vally pitting Risen against you makes sense, it was all to make Henry integrate into your army. Chrom is quite naive and the Avatar is rather busy having migraines at that point, so there's really nobody to question it other than Frederick. (But really, did anybody ever actually listen to that guy?) I mean...Henry's generally a mystery, right? So does this make sense to anybody else? Could there have been others in the army spying for Plegia?

One of my favourite things about Awakening was the support system. Out of Birthright and Conquest, I'm more interested in trying Conquest because of the difficulty, more varied objectives and story. However, I've also seen Birthright described as far more centred on the support system, because of its grinding and its smaller difficulty allowing more freedom in who you pair. I don't care if the support system's better in Birthright (I'll be getting both eventually) but I'm hoping it's at least still a central part of the game in Conquest, as some reviews indicate Conquest is far more gameplay-focused. Basically, are the support system and story still a significant part of Conquest, or do they take a massive backseat to the strategy part of the game?

So, I'm new to Serenes Forest and I heard something about a "waifu war"? Basically people would fight over which waifu was better? If anyone was in that, could you tell me, what was it like and who was your waifu? Personally, mine would've been the all mighty boingy Tharja! ;)

I already asked this question before on a different forum, but not much interest was shown. But from the given suggestions, and what we can realistically achieve so far with ROM hacking, I've come up with a small list of tentative changes and would like some input. http://pastebin.com/933nAbXM And because I know this is going to be suggested, no, we don't know yet (or at least I don't know) how the game handles what shop sells what, so I can't edit shops at this moment.

This happened a while ago and I took some pictures of our texting conversation. Not a big fan of awakening but we were playing it at the time so a lot of puns are about it. The night before a test me and a friend had the greatest conversation ever... Me: prepare yourself Him: this test will get no sympathy from me Me: I challenge my grade Him: Any average can change Me: pick a guide and study Him: I fight for my grades Me: it's time to study the textbooks Him: now that's studying Me: my writing hand twitches Him: I would start studying if I was you Me: for those I must study I cannot fail Him: shall I make you... Study? Me: Gregor study! Him: study frosting! Me: we should probably start actually studying now Him: Pffft Me: you're right. Study? Nah Him: don't Sully my reputation for studying Me: teach will vaike you study Him: Should we Chromtinue this? Owain, nevermind. Me: Lissa to me! The test is tomorrow so stop Robin me of my time! Him: I don't need to study! Owain needs no aid! Me: I'm so Donnel with this Him: Brady we should stop then Me: I think you're knight Him: don't be so cavalier about it Me: you don't nosferatu me Him: stop stahling Me: that's it. I'm levin this conversation Him: steel yourself Me: what did I just Say Ri? Him: says in the textbook we rebelled because the British had some imposing axe Me: well we are the home of the brave, and those weapons are very strong. No wonder we won. Him: well we were the blue troops and they were red Me: yeah, and we were defending from the forests Him: too bad the British recruited Benedict Arnold Me: his growths were low anyway Him: ok we need to stop I'm only halfway through chapter 9 Me: you're right, these puns are dragon us down Me: we just spent 45 minutes doing this Him: Fire Emblem, not even once

I have a question for those who have started with, or only played Awakening/Fates: what is your view on the older entries of the series, before the 3DS titles? I ask this cause I often see many veterans of Fire Emblem note how different Awakening and Fates are in comparison to the old titles, but I don't think I've ever since the opposite side's opinion. So yeah, what is your opinion of the older titles?

So I was going to start playing Lunatic Mode and wanted to know if anyone can give me any tips. Such as, If I should go classic or casual mode. This is my first time playing Lunatic mode. ((EDIT: I have the DLC MAP "EXPonetial Growth." I'm guessing I should grind that right?))

I know this would require someone to beat the game twice to test this out, but I've a slight question. In the... epilogue, I suppose, you're told each character's battles, which I'm 99.9% sure is the number of enemies they've encountered, or rather battled, and victories is the number that, out of those encounters, how many they've finished off. Now, I'm pretty sure this is a no, but out of curiosity, do DLC enemies increase these two numbers for a character, or is it only Chapters/Skirmishes? (I think Skirmishes raise the number, pretty sure...)

Hi, I´m new to Serenesforest. Last months I´ve been playing a little bit with Awakening and Fates´s story. If your are interested, post your ideas. This post contains Big Spoilers for Awakening and some Mild Spoilers for Fates The first thing I want to share is Chrom´s dad, I made a base design for it and I think it is pretty cool. One thing I noticed is that I´m not that great at drawing armor, so if you´d like to help me with that I would really appreaciate it. Once I get Fates next month and clear the story modes, I´ll update on the story itself, so you´ll have to wait a little bit until the main story. For some time it will be some designs I make or some mini stories that will shape the main story. Well, here comes Chrom´s Dad I am not that great with names, but my idea for his name is Rodrik. He is an only child. In this story, he is the first blue haired descendant that wasn´t born with his brand. For that reason, he isn´t able to wield Falchion. His base class is an Axe Lord, but his class is War Lord, they can use Axes and Swords. I don´t know what his Personal Skill would be. Since his parents loved him very much, they forged a special axe made of extremely rare silver that uses the Argent Gem´s Power. He still goes into a rampage and tries to anihilate the Grimleals. I´ll attach the photos in the next few days since I´m having Internet trouble right now. Update #1 Now, I´ll talk a bit about the main thing of this mashup. Since I haven´t played Fates, but I know a bit of the story, this may change in the future. The idea is that after the end of Fire Emblem Fates, the Invisible Path, Kamui, Aqua, and Lilith go through a portal and got to Chrom´s world. They get separated in the way, and Kamui appears near the time and place where Chrom finds Robin, but he can´t remember well what happened to him. I´ll update after the game comes out, to avoid people getting mad with me.

For this theory, I'll use default Robin's(the one in Smash 4) as reference, since that's the "deafultest" look possible. Hey there! So recently I've noticed something while playing FE13, and it kinda shocked me when I realized it. We all here know that most children in FE13 inherit their father's hair color, right? And since Robin's hair color is up to the player, most children can have any of the selectable hair colors. Now, very later in the game, we discover that Robin is the child of Fauder/Validar, and that becomes quite the plot point, as it explains how Validar managed to make Robin kill Chrom at the very beginning of the game. He was controlling Robin through his blood, which was related to his own. But here's what I noticed. Robin and Validar do not share their hair color at all. ...Quite shocking, I know. This can mean a few things: 1) Robin could not actually be Validar's child​ ​Which seems quite an idiotic thing, since the game explicitly tells otherwise to us, but bear with me for a bit. I think that Robin was some random kid that Validar kidnapped and ended up brainwashing said kid to believe that he was their real father. Maybe he saw the potential Robin had to be Grima's Vessel and decided to seize the opportunity, so as to not take risks. Eventually, something happened to Robin, and that something triggered their memories. That and finding out that they had been lied to the entire time made them flee from Validar's reach, only to be found by GimRey (That's what I'm calling the Robin from the future, who decided to accept being the vessel. Thanks shadowofchaos.)in Ylisse and have their memories disabled until later in the game. The shock from GimRey and their memories made Robin faint, only to be found later by Chrom, Lissa and Fredrick. When Validar controlled Robin, it simply was controlling using Grima's power to seize a good vessel for Grima.Since the fell dragon wanted that too, he lent Validar some of his power, so that he could be reborn as GimRey. Now there might be a few errors within this theory, especially the fact that Robin never seems to mention that, nor does Validar or Aversa. Or the fact that this game seems to love plotholes. But it has enough evidence to make it at least plausible, so I guess it's up for you to decide if you'll believe it or not. Now, onward to "thing" 2. 2) It's just a silly plothole, and I should stop thinking too deep. Don't forget that we are still talking about FE13, and it's tightly-written story. This seems to be enough evidence to break the theory too, so yeah. Or maybe... 3) They may use this not-resolved plotline to make another game in Ylisse that follows Awakening. Which seems likely too, since Awakening revitalized the franchise in the West and is the best selling in the series. Who knows? Like point 2, I won't delve too much into this, as it is real-life speculation. Endgame I'd like to invite you guys to share your thoughts in this thread, be it evidence, criticism or any kind of commentary. After all, this is why people like to come to SF...right? I don't know if someone else already posted something like this, but if they did, sorry in advance. I hope we can spark some nice discussion out of this! And who knows what will happen in the future, right? Thank you for reading until here! Have a nice day!

Hey everybody, I've been thinking of doing an FE Awakening playthrough. You guys have seen plenty of these on the forums before, so what is different about this one? Well, I'll be using Citra, and recording an LTC (most likely), something which nobody has done before! For those of you who don't know, Citra is a currently in development emulator for the 3DS. It currently doesn't support sound (or save states, or many other standard emulator features), but Awakening is playable without any major graphical glitches, so I think you guys might be interested? The game runs slowly during cutscenes, but IIRC nearly full speed during actual chapter playthroughs (and I can probably speed the frames up as necessary). So are you guys interested? Let me know if you think this is a worthwhile endeavor (and fill out the topic poll!), and I'll probably decided what I'm doing in a couple of days or so. Keep in mind that I've never played this game before (and know almost nothing about the new mechanics), so it might not be a great idea to vote for Lunatic (unless you want to torture me).

I already posted this in the Awakening forum, but I was informed that it would be better here. For those of you who don't know, LEGO Ideas is an online feature where you can post your own ideas for LEGO products (as long as it doesn't break any of LEGO's rules), and if the idea receives 10,000 votes, it can be made into a LEGO product! A few days ago, I submitted an idea based on the Premonition chapter of Fire Emblem Awakening. Included is the Fire Emblem, the dragon's table, Chrom, Validar, and Robin (comes with male and female versions). Here's a link to the site; when you get to the site, click the support button on the right to vote (you will need a LEGO ID though, but it is simple to make one). https://ideas.lego.com/projects/121131 You can also comment on the product on the site. Getting 10,000 supporters is mainly a question of advertising, so please tell others you know who would be willing to support this. Update (December 20, 2015): It is currently sitting at 14 supports, and it has been almost a month since anyone supported. Please support this LEGO Ideas project.

Hello. So this topic has to do with both Fire Emblem: Awakening and Fire Emblem: Fates, so I just dropped it here in Fates. I seen a thread like this from a while back, but instead of a poll it was more of an informational text provided to viewers to get a better understanding of Mikoto and Emmeryn. Anyway! This is where the spoilers start. If you continue to read, do not blame me. This will be the third time I've warned you. [spoiler=Emmeryn]So, Emmeryn. Emmeryn sacrificed herself for the sake of her people. Even though her death didn't have much effect, she had good intentions. Emmeryn jumped off the cliff to stop Gangrel from having a reason to be against Hoshido. (Sorry its been a while since I've played Awakening theres probably a lot I'm missing). Emmeryn's death was with good intentions yet did not have much effect on what later happened. Now for Mikoto! [spoiler=Mikoto]Mikoto was the queen of Hoshido, that is before her death saving her child (Kamui/Corrin). Mikoto notices a shadowy figure aiming at Kamui, without hesitation Mikoto jumps in front of Kamui, shielding him/her with her own body. A few seconds after, she died due to the shadow that took over her body. Now that the little bit of background information has been given, who's your favorite? I would like to hear from a few perspectives. Those being: Visual; Who's the best looking only judging by appearance? Personality; Who's got that special attitude? Intentions; Who had the best intentions? Role in the Story; Who did better with their role? Overall; Who is your favorite overall? Please leave all of this below! Thanks for your time in reading this and I hope to read a lot of responses! -Uchu~ \_(^-^)_/
