IceBrand Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 I've notice this since I started playing the older games again. There's always a narrator explaining the plot and what's to come the next chapter. Correct me if i'm wrong but wasn't Awakening the only one to not have a narrator?

BrightBow Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 I think Gaiden doesn't have one. Tear Ring Saga is also lacking one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoNameAtAll Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 I think Gaiden doesn't have one. Tear Ring Saga is also lacking one. I don't think FE1 has one. Since it pretty much went from map to map without much explanation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shev Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 Well then who's doing the post-Ch. 11 explanation? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anacybele Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 (edited) Radiant Dawn has a voiced narrator. And there is a narrating voice in the Path of Radiance ending too. EDIT: Oh, you mean did FE ever NOT have a narrator. Misleading thread title is misleading. >.> Edited November 7, 2013 by Anacybele Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melonhead Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 Uh, I don't recall the DS remakes having one. Awakening sort of has one at the end of the 1st arc, but that's so small the game as a whole can be considered not to have a narrator. Kind of fitting considering the non-linear nature of the game.

Knight Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 The DS games have sequences explaining the next chapter. Awakening doesn't, can't remember if 3 does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrightBow Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 Fire Emblem 3 definitely has one. We fortunately got the scripts on this site: Chapter 6: Trap of LefcandyMap openingAfter liberating Orleans, the allied army marched south along the central road, towards Akaneia’s royal capital, Pales.Their most difficult challenge is the countless forts situated at Lefcandy Valley.As well as the guarding “Dragon Knights”; Macedonian White Knights commanded by General Minerva.At Lefcandy, the only passageway to the Kingdom of Akaneia, an intense battle is about to start.

I'm not sure though, since he seems to be sure that awakening lacked one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aurath8 Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 I don't recall Fe8 having one, but my memory of 2012 is hazy at best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samias Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 I don't recall Fe8 having one, but my memory of 2012 is hazy at best. FE8 definitely has narrated moments between maps. The only game I'm unsure on is FE2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cymbalina's Revenge Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 FE8 definitely has narrated moments between maps. The only game I'm unsure on is FE2. I recall that FE2 did have a narrated ending where it talked about humans going evil in the future and the fires of war. I think that may've been it. I think it was also a little jarring because there hadn't been a narrative voice to that point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that may've been it. I think it was also a little jarring because there hadn't been a narrative voice to that point. The introduction to the game, which tells a timeline of events, can be considered narration. I think there might be a distinction, however, between explaining the situation of the game and its characters in diegetic fashion, and a distinct agent that is narrating events from their own perspective.

arvilino Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 The closest thing Fire Emblem Awakening has is the story tab on the bottom right hand side of the touch screen on the world map, it gives you a short synopsis of each chapter.

Guy Starwind Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 Isn't FE4 the first game to show the characters heads show up on the map before every chapter or am I making crap up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Book of Ereshkigal Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 (edited) I think Gaiden doesn't have one. Tear Ring Saga is also lacking one. Gaiden has like one chapter where there is a random narrator("Bathed deep within the inky shadows, a ghastly face looks down upon them...") for pretty much no reason, or at least neither Alm or the boss talking. Overall Gaiden doesn't seem to have a narrator, though. Unless that was a fan translation thing Edited November 11, 2013 by L95 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
