![]() ![]() It was the first wholly original title (as in, not a remake) since Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn in 2007. Their meeting heralds the dragons' awakening-and the world's ending."įire Emblem Awakening is the thirteenth Fire Emblem game, released on the Nintendo 3DS in 2012. Two heroes marked with the symbols of the dragons. Also, the posts now have the map conditions in them when I realised they were pretty darn important.Įdit 2: Added some background information about FE post some feedback from a friend who knows nothing about the series.Īny constructive feedback (or even heavy criticism as to how I'm terrible) will be highly welcomed, whether it is the style of the liveblog or the way I play the game."Two sleeping dragons-one a sacred ally of mankind, the other its sworn destroyer. I won't be able to post my unit levels and bonus experience gained, but it's something at least.Įdit: Briefly summarising in a very loose sense of what is brief, it would seem. I had already completed a few chapters before I decided to chronicle my ineptitude, and as I have no desire to go through with a few of those chapters all over again, I'll be briefly summarizing those chapters. In short, many sacrifices to Anna will be needed. MORE ENEMIES (lots more - see the prologue map for Normal and compare.) Stronger enemies (like myrmidons who has 18 speed and will double you, no questions asked, unless you get RNG-blessed) Less Experience gained, and a lot less Bonus Experience gained (which gives you fewer trainable units and fewer opportunities to abuse the fuck out of the level up system.) You can't see enemy movement and attack ranges (which is horrifying - Thracia 776 didn't do that to you) and you are forced to count manually. No Weapon Triangle, which is both an advantage and a disadvantage (but more of the latter). ![]() So what is Hard Mode anyways? Why is it so evil?īasically, it's the Japanese Maniac Mode, and contains a few changes to the Fire Emblem Formula. So, I'll be playing almost blind on Hard Mode, on a new game as opposed to a second playthrough (so no secret stuff), and I'll be doing my best to retain my sanity until the very end. I've always wanted to try it out, but sadly, I've never had the guts to. for the lack of a better word, my bugbear. I'm not a bad player by any means, and I'm very familiar with the game in Easy and Normal. Normal is, as logically follows,Hard, and Hard is actually Maniac Mode - an appropriate label. ![]() Seriously, it's just the Japanese Normal mislabeled as Easy. ![]() The game is also hard enough to make it so that there is no loss in honour even on Easy mode. Radiant Dawn is more or less an amalgamation of all the innovations of the last 9 games (with a few unfortunate regressions), and is easily one of my favourites in the series for featuring both a lolEasy difficulty setting for casual runs, and harder settings for challenge plays. The games feature certain series staples in game mechanics, which were added on gradually, and then more or less finalised by the 5th and 6th games, Thracia 776 and Fuin no Tsurugi. A very similar series of games - Tear Ring Saga, and it's sequels have also come out on Sony platforms, and were made by the man who created Fire Emblem to begin with, Shouzou Kaga (he left after the 5th game), but none of these are in English, sadly. A 13th game has been announced for the 3DS. Battles are small scale in most games, and while you don't generally get the illusion you are up against an army, you are always outnumbered, and it is extremely satisfying beating a chapter with a small, decidedly ragtag group of nobodies.ġ2 games have been released so far, exclusively on Nintendo consoles, since the days of the NES, with only the N64 not getting a game (it was cancelled). It features Perma-death, which is reasonably rare in SRP Gs, where the "dead" are merely teleported away and return for the next fight. Good start, eh?įire Emblem is an extremely old series of strategy RP Gs renowned for being really difficult. This is my first liveblog, and also the first time I'm ever trying out Hard Mode in Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn. ![]()
