Hello everyone. I am a new member of the forums who acquired a copy of Fire Emblem: Awakening a couple of weeks ago and now have enough free time to play it. I previously played Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon in 2014, and Fire Emblem: New Mystery of the Emblem in 2016, before real life events forced me into a gaming hiatus. It has thus been a while since I have played a Fire Emblem game, and I do not know too much about any new mechanics that started from the 3DS era. With that in mind, I would like to have my experience with this game be one that is attractive enough for some users to respond. Which approach would be more interesting for you to see? The options are below: * Taking the most direct path to beating the game. This would involve me choosing the Normal and Classic modes and setting the Avatar to be female with a Magic strong point and Defense weak point. While I am not going to truly play it like a speedrun, I will not be visiting any locations or taking on any extra content (such as Paralogues) outside the direct route to victory to keep things simple. Anna merchant spawns are fair game to pursue at any time, though. * Allowing votes to decide which modes and Avatar configuration to take, which chapter strategy to carry out, which items to buy, which Paralogues to accept, which dialogue choices to make, and so on and so forth. Voting will be allowed at the end of each chapter. * Choosing the hardest modes right out of the bat, which would be Lunatic and Classic modes. I will use every trick in the book that does not use Wi-Fi, DLC, or save-scumming, and will publish my strategy for each Chapter and Paralogue to maximize the odds of victory. In any of the three above options, if a game over takes place, I will adhere to the Ironman rules and start the whole game over. No Wi-Fi or DLC content will be used at any point in this adventure. I am also open to requests, for the few people willing to make them. After the weekend, I will start my playthrough based on the responses that I receive in this thread.
