Base conversation

Three base conversations are ready to be viewed in the Info menu.

Base conversations are a series of dialogue scenes in Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance and Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn which are accessed from the player's base between chapters. When the player is returned to the base when starting a chapter, a set of base conversations can be viewed in the Info menu. These conversations serve a variety of purpose, ranging from simply helping to introduce newly-recruited characters, to giving small pieces of expository information and hints for upcoming chapters, to even rewarding the player with free items or recruiting new units. Every conversation is marked with a number of stars which reflect its relative importance and whether it gives a reward.

A chapter's set of base conversations will be viewable at any point so long as the player remains in the base. Once the player leaves the base, any base conversations which they have not viewed yet will not be accessible in the next chapter, and will not be accessible if they return to the base from the battle preparations menu.
