Kazuya Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 I just wanna see who enjoyed 13. I enjoyed it for being senseless and fun, but I know a lot don't like it. Let's not be negative please, just a simple yes and no. (First time making a poll, sorry if it's uh bad) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thane Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 The game that introduced me to the series and the one I have had the most fun with. I know it's got its fair share of flaws, but a game isn't solely measured by the amount of problems it has. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chconroy Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 I did. It was my starting point for the franchise and inspired me to play the rest of the series. By no means is it my favorite game, nor do I think it is a perfect game, but while it can a rather easy game, I think it does manage to be a fun game.

Kazuya Posted August 23, 2017 Author Share Posted August 23, 2017 13 was my first game as well, I understand all the hate and dislike though. I still enjoy it a lot though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rapier Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 It was a fresh experience when it came out, but I hardly play it anymore since I think it has been surpassed in every aspect already by FE14. Yes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darros Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 I enjoyed it and put many many many hours of play into it. It hasn't really aged well though, which is kind of sad considering it's really not that old. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nobody Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 I spent a lot of time playing it, and I really enjoyed it back then. The more I played it, the more its flaws became apparent, though, and I can't really enjoy it nowadays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronnie Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 One of my favorite games of all time. Still love playing it for shits and giggles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterIceTeaPeach Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 (edited) First time, yes But when I played older games like Thracia 776, it made me think Awakening is from the stone age because of the simplification of mechanics (no weapon weight, no ballistas, no light magic, no anima triangle, no variety of mission objectives...) I'd like it....... if it came out 20 years before official release. Ok game for newcomers, but not really enjoyable for FE veterans.

DarkDestr0yer61 Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 Not my favorite, but it was still fun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jingle Jangle Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 For me, after playing half of the franchise. I still consider it my favorite. It introduced me to the series, even thought there are games with better gameplay and stories. Awakening holds a special place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maybe Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 (edited) i liked it the first time but i haven't finished it again since and i'm not really sure why last time i started playing it again i got bored and stopped around chapter 10 or so i guess that would be a yes Edited August 23, 2017 by unique Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emperor Hardin Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 (edited) It was alright, but after completing the game, I felt a wave of disappointment, like it didn't live up. Edited August 24, 2017 by Emperor Hardin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slyfox Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 First Fire Emblem game that I've played, loved it back then, still love it. The two last FE games really made improvements in terms of gameplay, overall, but since they've dropped the ball with the story soooo hard, I just can't see them as being better, or even equal.

Slumber Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 (edited) Yes, despite the many, many, many problems I have with it. I think at the time I even said it was my 2013 GotY, which had games like BioShock: Infinite and The Last of Us(But was otherwise a pretty dry year. I think in retrospect I'd say Metal Gear Rising was my GotY). Thinking about it like food, Awakening is very sweet, rich candy. Great in the moment, but it leaves you feeling sluggish and sick afterward. It's hard to hate candy, it is what it is, but it's also not something I really want a whole lot of(While we're here, Fates is like a fine steak with ketchup on it).

I find that any plot holes or unexplained crap are fairly negligible. There is no great story to be had in Awakening, but it's all the small parts added together that make it enjoyable. I could understand what our characters thought, felt, and did, they were consistently written. I'm sure I could go on, but I'm probably being vague enough as it is. My problem with Fates and Valentia is all the forced drama and the relentless tide of head-scratching moments. Basically, Awakening's story is a small fishing boat, not impressive, but hey, it floats! Fates and Valentia are impressive cruise ships, with gaping holes in the hull letting in tons of water.

Awakening is the game where its said Panne's mother raised her until she was a teenager, then later says her mother died when she was a baby and she never got to see other taguel. So I'll personally disagree with this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Von Ithipathachai Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 Ah, Awakening. I remember way back when I hadn't played many major 3DS games and I thought it was the best thing since pizza. I think I did four straight playthroughs of it before I got remotely tired of it. Though, I ended up enjoying Fates's gameplay a little more. The nerfing of Pair Up alone helped a lot. Another thing I'm grateful for is Awakening's attempts to introduce characters from older games through DLC, which really made me want to explore the rest of what the series had to offer. If it hadn't done that, I might have ended up being more of a fake fan like Etika. XD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SullyMcGully Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 For all the issues I have with Awakening and all of the things I think it could have done better, you might would think I hated it... ...but according to my 3DS, I've spent nearly 300 hours playing it in the past year. I wouldn't do that if I didn't enjoy it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badatfireemblem Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 However much Awakening has it's flaws, I think it does have a certain amount of charm. I've only ever played through once, but I'd play through again, for sure. It was also what finally got my sister into FE. Consequently she's now played Fates and SoV, and has started on the older games. This is a big deal for me, because I could never convince her before to try a game like FE, and now we can finally talk about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
