Captain Karnage Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 @Eske sorry your thread ended up the way it did, I hope it doesn't leave a bad impression of us on you @EVERYONE please stop quoting the offending poster, it has been taken care of ____ Awakening may spoil a few details of a few other games, but it really won't rain the other games IMO, I think the best way to enjoy them is to go in completely blind, don't go for the most optimal way to play, trying to build units, and come up with your own strategies is some of the most fun you can have with these games Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Integrity Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 (edited) there really isn't an order to recommend the 3ds games in, honestly. there's approximately one callback to awakening in fates, but it's a minor enough thing that it wouldn't really impact your enjoyment of either one way or the other. i genuinely don't remember what spoilers awakening had for other games besides really small stuff in a few conversations, it's mostly callbacks to things that are entirely not plot elements in one game. i wouldn't worry at all about launching into the 3ds games before clearing the backlog of other ones. EDIT: that said, from a pure mechanical perspective, fates plays like a fairly positive iteration on awakening's gameplay, while echoes is completely different from either, so i'd very gently recommend awakening before fates with no bearing on when you play echoes, but the changes made by fates didn't make awakening difficult to play at all for me so it's only a tiebreaker at best if you can't decide Edited July 11, 2019 by Integrity Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samz707 Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 (edited) Play Echoes. Awakening is just a tedious slog to play due to how easy it is and how utterly terrible i find the story so I wouldn't even recommend playing it at all. (and according to a friend who had the misfortune of assuming the series was terrible due to having Awakening and Fates be his first games, Fates isn't much better.) So by virtue of being the only FE 3DS game that I can actually bring myself to play, at least play Echoes first so you're starting with a good one. Long story short, I really, really like Echoes but really, really hate Awakening. (I've owned Awakening for 3-4 years at this point and still not finished it since every time i see it in my DS case I just want to play anything else since I hate it that much..)
