Fire Emblem - Awakening [Trailer + Gameplay]

I haven't seen this posted around here so here's the trailer to the 3DS' Fire Emblem: Awakening and it looks great :D

Trailer and Gameplay

Extra Gameplay Footage

I love Fire Emblem so much. I can't wait for this!

Those character designs sure are different. It looks like it's going to have a map system (along with optional battles, I assume) like Sacred Stones.

This game looks a lot different than any of the past titles but I'm welcome to change...as long as it retains the challenging difficulty than I'm all for it :)

Yeah, it's different, but pretty good. :)

I recently got re-introduced to the world of Fire Emblem with the GBA sequel, Sacred Stones. I have to say after playing a bit of that game, I'm really excited for a new Fire Emblem.

I missed out on the DS game, Shadow Dragon, though I've heard from other's that it's not particularly good when compared to other titles in the series.

I have never played a Fire Emblem game before but this one looks fantastic? How does it look different from previous games? This one looks like a game I used to love called Vandal Hearts. Were the other ones not like this?

Come to America. Please.

It looks like fun, except I can't help but notice that the board itself looks rather bad

Looking really good. I'm curious as to how the dual attacks work though, and what between-chapter stuff there will be.

Thanks ZIVX, the battle animations are AWESOME! :D

i am pre-ordering it ~

I've updated the original post with a short video from the Nintendo Direct Conference

Gaaahhh I can't wait for this, I love the Fire Emblem series and the battle scenes look great this time around. Also ZIVX loving the sig, Nujabes is the man and love sic03 is a sick song!F0urTwenty

I will honestly be happy with anything else they do with this game as long as I get my supports back.

Looks good, another game that might make me purchase a 3DS

The only Fire Emblem game I've played is Sacred Stones (and that only because of the Ambassador program) even though I've been intrested in the series for years I just never got round to picking up any of the games. That is all going to change with this one though, not even a Pegasus Knight will be able to stop me from getting it :P

didn't really see anything great

first thought that came to mind was chess anyone ?

will wait until they start speaking english first

can't wait fire emblem is m favorite strategy game.

can't wait fire emblem is m favorite strategy game.

Thank god I was introduced to this awesome franchise. I'm buying this day 1.

This is one of my most anticipated 3DS titles. Heck, maybe one of my most anticipated titles. Why do Nintendo torment us by not confirming a release outside Japan? :( I can't make myself happy thinking about the existence of the game if I don't know if I'll even be able to play the damn thing.

Come to America. Please.

Also, with dual attacks you can increase your odds of not taking any damage from counter attacks yourself, so there are benefits as well. I can see this being a huge boon for magic-wielding bosses and things like that.

with Fire Emblem in I almost forgot Nintendo is having second thoughts in translating Ace Attorney x PL ... but still since they got convinced with xenoblade then there is still hope

About the dual attack thing, the second unit probably doesn't use up their own turn, or if they took their turn already, they can still act in a dual attack. That alone would justify the system.

its probably how the new supports work and i doubt it uses up the second unit's turn.

im hoping that they make the game a lot harder if they're going to have dual attacks and a explorable map. the map in fe8 allowed grinding, making it easier.

we also need maniac mode eeee

@Yoweeh Well, with the gameplay video that the TC posted you can see that you move the back-up unit first, then move in the second unit that actually attacks. Then it finally does the dual attack. They, the Fire Emblem series, have done similar things in the past, such as the Pegasus Triangle and such... I never used it though because it was so useless - you had to commit 3 people to the attack just to hit once really hard with the chances that most get killed with 2 units at the most anyhow.raahsnavj

That may just be for quick demostration so that a person can see that the second unti needs to be adjacent.

It would be useful for bosses.

This game looks amazing. Instabuy for me.

i can't stop thinking about it every now and then...

also to the person above me, nice Neptune ava :)

The gameplay looks great, I can't wait til it gets overseas.

I hope we see a overseas release.

Here's a new trailer that shows something interesting regarding dual attacks. It seems like dual attacks give statistical performance increases I assume in hit rate, avoidance, crit rate, and maybe luck considering the trailer shows +10, which is too much for other normal stat. This is making me think that dual attacks are linked heavily with a support system.

I love Fire Emblem so much. I can't wait for this!

It looks pretty good though.

Hey,wouldn't it be awesome if Madhouse made a FE anime?

There has already been an OVA of Fire Emblem but it was horrible...if anybody is gonna do it right then it has to be Kyoto Animation/Key

Or just no one ever again ahaha

the anime was so bad

Alos, I think I hear the reailer mention that it's taking some elements from Seisen no keifuu? I think, considering the timing, he was talking about skills (which were also in like, all games besides after Keifuu but before the remakes and the GBA ones so what do). I was hoping when i heard that that we was talking about character pairings/breeding (lol) and a second generation half of the game but wah.

Yes, I also bel;eive dual attacks are support-only. It woyuld be very unbalanced if it was for just any character. Also, I think is maybe the support unit is within 3 spaces (support rules hurr) the dual attack initates. But this is just me guessing, since it has never been showed.

Also if no one else noticed, the character portraits show emotion now yay

In this video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qKkIrAm3dsA&feature=related), we see just gameplay, which I haven't seen before.

Also, how do you do links now? It seems top be broken but I still see people posting links?

I've played every single one...but maybe you dislike it because it was the first game in the series? It's also unbalanced in the beginning as they didn't have the weapons triangle back then but put it in for the remake whilst not changing the weapons up

I've played three FEs, and I'd say that the one you're liking is my least favourite of the three (though I did enjoy it!!). So you should have a lot of reason to be excited! :P

That said, I'm excited by some of the changes I'm seeing in the gameplay. The series probably could do with some bolder ideas. I'm very excited; next to Paper Mario, this is my most anticipated 3DS game. Intelligent Systems tends to never fail.homegirl2180

Sacred Stones or Sword of Flames were my favorites because supports

I think you need to replay Sacred Stones or play Shadow Dragon. And why no Radiant Dawn? You should them too.

hell, just play them all.

Nintendo, please send this game to North America!!!

[QUOTE="Yoweeh"]

[QUOTE="homegirl2180"] I was referring to Sacred Stones, which he said is making him excited for future FE games. He hasn't played SD and neither have I. I've played FE (GBA aka Sword of Flame), Sacred Stones, and Path of Radiance. I meant that Sacred Stones was my least favourite of those three.

editted

Also, I would say the first 5, maybe 6 were really unbalanced and just not that fun to play. 4 had an amzaing storyline and 5 had askldnjaskld difficulty (mostly because it was so unbalanced). But really, only the ones that hav been localized minus SD are owrth while (and maybe 4.)
