Giving the players the chance to switch to the original Japanese audio is a nice touch, seeing as many jrpg fans buy games which their favourite seiyuus has a role in. The English voices in this one is as good as the ones in Kid Icarus Uprising though. It's lovely to see NOA putting in so much effort/budget for this niche series

is this made by the guys that made Valkyria chronicles? The artwork seems similar.. plus this is a tactic RPG game

nway.. this game is a lot of fun.. put my preorder straight away after finishing the demo =D

valkyria chronicle is under sega la. ini nintendo punya group so is different team

i finished the demo, is Frederick immune or what? each time opponents attack him, it will miss. sorry first time playing.

nah, just luck I guess. I'm new to the franchise too.. got destroyed when I played Lunatic difficulty..

LOL, u are a fan of what game bro? i currently got no game to play, just the console itself.

I guess I'm a sucker for games where the avatars are highly customizable and Fire Emblem has it and the battle remind me of Arc the Lad..

Well.. This isn't really the right thread, but apart from Fire Emblem which isn't out yet, You can try Mario Kart 7, Super Mario Bros and Maybe Pokemons? In the future Monster Hunter, Luigi and many more

I just played the demo too! On Normal difficulty and Casual mode because I wasn't sure what to expect. I'll try the other modes later...

But damn~ I love it. I wanna play the full game now! ^0^

I had the 3D effect on throughout the whole demo. The 3D effect on the cut scenes...wow. But it was a really enjoyable experience. I kinda wished the demo was longer though...

One question... and probably it's too early to ask this but... if I've never played the other Fire Emblem games in the series, would the story leave me all hanging and confused in Fire Emblem: Awakening?

cut scene is short only. Story no related to previous series.

andrewchaFire Emblem soundtrack

preordered one. hope can received next week. w00t.

I loved the demo but I'm not sure whether SRPG would last me very long?

This is what I mean:

Cut Scene -> Battle -> Cut Scene -> Movie -> Cut Scene -> Battle -> repeat

No exploration, no world map, weak story (?)

Help me out here, I can't decide whether to pre order or not

there's word map, it's go to point to point on the world map like Atelier series. you can also freely go where ever you want.

I don't think Fire Emblem has weak storyline...

might get it. haih. Japanese soundtrack y u so expensive.

There is a world map feature in Awakening, but if you want to do level grinding I think the only way is to purchase at least one of the many DLC maps (I think the one with Marth will be free for a short while). If I'm not mistaken you can get DLCs after the 4th or 5th chapter? The world map allows you to also visit shops and battle with your friends' team and potentially recruit the leader after you defeat them or spending in-game money. Also, the storyline is really great IMO, possible one of the best in the series.

I highly recommend getting this game!

Yeah, you're right, but I meant traditional 3D world map where we can walk around or ride transportation FF7 or Ninokuni style.. you say we can go wherever we want, but is there actually a field we can move around, besides the world map & battle map? maybe walk to a weapon shop instead of selecting from the menu?

don't get me wrong, i really like Fire Emblem and TRPG in general.. i can't wait to start developing characters and the various combat classes is kinda refreshing. but I'm just scared it will get old after awhile (like other TRPGs). But then again, I guess this type of game (Cutscene -> Battle -> repeat) is perfect for portable gaming

thanks, i've decided to place down the pre order

If im not mistaken.. There is marriage in this game.. Your main character can marry anyone you recruit in the game (opposite gender), plus your recruits can marry with each other.. and get offspring out of that marriage too, and recruit them later.. I think thats more than enough to get you busy lol..

and according to wiki.. Theres an overworld map as well which you can venture through and interact with npcs.. Soo yeah.. Could be my game of the year

don't u dare to tempt me
