Fire Emblem: Awakening Review by: - 9/10 Fire Emblem: Awakening Hey all! I figured that there's no time like the present to write a review for FE: Awakening, so I decided to go for it.;) Originally released in Japan on April 19th, 2012, Awakening took nearly a year to localize in the USA and exactly a year to localize in Europe. However, it's been well worth the wait.

FE: A is a new game, following up 2 remakes of early games in the series. It introduces a few new features, such as the 'Dual' system and 'Pair Up' system.

These are designed to create strong bonds between your units, which benefit you in combat. The Dual System allows a adjacent friendly unit to fight alongside another of your units. The Pair Up system works similarly to the Rescue function from previous games, with the only major difference being that Pairing Up your units actually benefits the stats of the primary unit. In addition, Pairing Up causes the Dual System to be put into effect. When Pairing Up, support bonds come into play as well.

In Fire Emblem: Awakening, supports return to the game. If bonded enough, compatible Male and Female Units will marry, and a new level will load into the game in which you will obtain the future child of this pair. I won't say much more, cuz spoilers n stuffs.;) Children characters can marry, but will not have kids of their own. Another exciting feature to this game is the return of the explorable world map. These can previously be found in FE: Sacred Stones, and FE: Gaiden. You can return to the locations of previous battles to access shops found therein, and the Risen (will explain later) or Merchants may pop up here as well. In addition, this is where you will meet any enemy teams obtained via either spotpass or streetpass.

Finally, you have access to the Outrealm Gate from here, which hosts all DLC you have bought. Other features in this game include the return of a customizable and playable Avatar, Special Skills, the Barracks (where you may obtain items, listen in on conversations, etc), and spotpass teams from previous games in the series. Alright, now that we've got the formalities out of the way, let's dive in!

Graphics - For the most part, I honestly can't complain here. There are a few places where I feel like the developers got lazy, such as the lack of feet on the characters, but the rest of the graphics are great. The developers really went into detail on the characters responses to their health, to attacks, and to getting healed. Rather than the sprites from previous games, Awakening features a fluid, smooth attacking system. It's not just a part of the game, it's a pleasure to watch. Therefore, I have rated this as high as 8.

I would rate it higher, but the few obvious lazy points in development take away from the overall quality. Sound - As in all FE games that I've played, the sound is exceptionally relevant. Perhaps it's not perfect, but it's quite relevant to the scenario in the game as well as pleasurable background music. I've found myself just letting the game sit open on my desk as I work, to be playing the music. Honestly, FE is the only series I've ever considered doing that, and Awakening doesn't disappoint. I don't feel comfortable with rating this a full 10, but I feel a 9 is quite accurate. Addictiveness - Let's just say that I played this through 3 times in the first 2 months after getting it, and leave it at that.

Aw.:P In all seriousness, this game is very addicting. I played through it no less than 4 times before putting it down, but recently I decided to start playing some more and got addicted all over again.

There isn't one specific element that I keep coming back for, it's the combination of all of the various pieces of the game. That's the sign of a great game, if you ask me. I rate this as low as an 8, simply because I actually was able to pry myself away from it (albeit after 4 playthroughs). Download songs of tere liye star plus.
