NinSinDuo Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 I think that this game was extremely fantastic from start to finish. I think that they handled the story very well minus a couple plotholes but I enjoyed it very much. From the regular animation to the CGI it's all amazing. So does anyone else have anything else to say? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fruity Insanity Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 You're a newbie, right? As expected In my opinion, this game is the best in the series. (This is debatable, I know, but generally true.) All I have to say is... IS has quite a reputation to live up to now... o_O Every game can't be better than its predecessors, so there's bound to be a "meh" FE game. (I'd still buy it and love it, but still... for those not-so-serious fans.) Hm... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gone2Ground Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 I thought the 'meh' FE game was Shadow Dragon, the game that made sure we didn't get 12. But yes, it's probably the best in the series, or at the very least tied with the Jugdral games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I completely agree Shadow Dragon made not so interested then some good time with a friend of mine and some path of radiance changed my mind a lot :D. Then I saw how this game was being handled absolutely loved it. You're a newbie, right? As expected In my opinion, this game is the best in the series.

Loki Laufeyson Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 In terms of gameplay, yeah this game is probably the best in the series. In terms of story, well...I mean, i do enjoy the story but i felt that PoR's was stronger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, I do agree that this game's story seems to lack something. I think, overall, they were stretching out the story between too many chapters. A lot of the later chapters seemed like they were thrown in there for no other purpose than to make you wait even longer to find out what happens next. << Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PuffPuff Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 (edited) Played only the Japanese version, but I thought that it was okay. Although it's pretty much just a complete rip-off of Marth's/Judgral's tales. But hoping that someday they invent an all new story with completely different elements. Good game though, as the DLC/Spotpasses are also a big hit! Rating 4.5/5 Edited February 21, 2013 by Katarina Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aisuko Lyrical Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 best FE game ever it really took me in the story and I love it I did really care for some of the characters and made me hate some I am looking at you Vaike and Sully it really hurt me when when I killed Grima myself just it hurt to see my family like that and the story was what I wanted it to be all of it amazing 10/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeekyDad Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 I think that this game was extremely fantastic from start to finish. I think that they handled the story very well minus a couple plotholes but I enjoyed it very much. From the regular animation to the CGI it's all amazing. So does anyone else have anything else to say? I think the game's fantastic as well, but I think the story was handled quite poorly. The overarching story is solid, but the details meant to hold everything together are...not great, even terrible at times. That being said, I tried to go back to Radiant Dawn last night after putting it on the shelf for a good while, and Awakening has really spoiled me in terms of its interface and mechanics. Sacred Stones is a little easier to get into (plus, it's already on my 3DS from the Ambassador's Program), and so is Shadow Dragon for some reason. But yeah, Awakening is easily my favorite so far. Of course, I'm no Fire Emblem super fan, but this game sure has boosted my interest in the series (as evidenced by my new registration to this site). I will say this, though -- in spite of not really enjoying the individual story sequences all that much (excluding the cutscenes, which are amazing in 3D), I have thoroughly enjoyed the quirky character interactions in the Support area. I care more about these characters than I have with other characters in previous FE games I've played. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CinderSkye Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 (edited) I haven't played the SNES FEs and I really should, because honestly, FE6-8 were pretty meager and 11 was even worse. They were very lazy in multiple aspects. 9 and 10 were the only decent entries in the series to make it over to the US before now, my irrational like of Sacred Stones not withstanding. Awakening changed the entire game and moved Fire Emblem from a B series with a consistent but small following to a triple A. The story has a number of issues, but in spite of the issues you actually care about it, which is more than I can say for any prior handheld FE.
