'''''Fire Emblem: Kakusei''''' (ファイアーエムブレム覚醒, ''Faiaa Emuburemu Kakusei''),<ref name="ustream"/> literally "Fire Emblem: Awakening", is the latest announced ''Fire Emblem'' game, being made for the [[Nintendo 3DS]]. The game is set to be released in Japan on April 19, 2012,<ref name="ustream"/> with a release in Europe on a later date in 2012. A standard version with just the game will cost ¥4,800, while a special edition is available for ¥19,800, which includes the game, a special [[Nintendo 3DS|3DS system]], and 1000 points. The game takes place on an as-of-yet unknown continent, featuring [[Krom]], the prince of [[Iris]]. <ref>{{cite book|quote=Two sleeping dragons — one a sacred ally of mankind, the other its sworn destroyer.

'''''Fire Emblem: Awakening''''' (Japanese: {{hover|ファイアーエムブレム覚醒|Faiā Emuburemu Kakusei}} ''Fire Emblem: Awakening'') is a turn-based strategy role-playing game for the [[Nintendo 3DS]] console, released in Japan in 2012 and the rest of the world 2013. It is the thirteenth overall game installment in the {{FES}}, the eleventh original title and the first original installment in the five years since {{title|Radiant Dawn}}.  It is a distant sequel to {{title|Mystery of the Emblem}} and {{title|New Mystery of the Emblem}}, set thousands of years in the future of the continent [[Archanea (continent)|Archanea]], now a very different world.  It follows the story of [[Chrom]], prince of [[Ylisse]] and distant heir of the Hero-King [[Marth]], as he leads [[Shepherds (group)|The Shepherds]] in observing and combating the bizarre activities of the neighbouring country [[Plegia]].
 
''Awakening'' is the first title on a [[Nintendo]] console to facilitate the creation and sale of [[List of bonus chapters and downloadable content in Fire Emblem: Awakening|paid downloadable content]], here coming in the form of purchasable maps and characters, sometimes providing completely unique [[class]]es and [[skills]]. A special edition package for the game was produced and available in both Japan and America, containing a ''Awakening''-themed "Cobalt Blue" Nintendo 3DS system with unique printing on the shell; the Japanese version of the package also contained a physical copy of the game and 1000 eShop points, while the American version has a digital copy of the game pre-installed on the Nintendo 3DS system. The European release received a similar bundle, except with a ''Awakening''-themed Nintendo 3DS XL, the larger variant of the console.<ref name="europe"/>
 
Originally released in Japan in April 2012, ''Awakening'' was not released internationally until the following year. A European release was tentatively confirmed in February 2012, with no specific release date provided, and a United States release was accidentally confirmed by [[wikipedia:Reggie Fils-Aime|Reggie Fils-Aime]] at the [[wikipedia:Electronic Entertainment Expo 2012|Electronic Entertainment Expo 2012]];<ref name="usleak">Nintendo World Report: [http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/news/30615 Fire Emblem: Awakening Coming to North America]</ref> solid release dates were not confirmed until December of that year.<ref name="america" />  In the United States of America, ''Awakening'' was the subject of an extensive advertising campaign to a scale unprecedented for the ''Fire Emblem'' series, receiving extensive preview coverage on Nintendo of America's Facebook page.


==Plot==
==Plot==
''Kakusei'' features [[Krom]], the sword-wielding prince of [[Iris]]. Little is known about the story specifically; however, an advertisement in ''Jump'' magazine includes the following English text:
{{sectstub}}
{{quote|Two sleeping dragons - one a sacred ally of mankind, the other its sworn destroyer. Two heroes marked with symbols of the dragons. Their meeting heralds the dragons' awakening - and the world's ending.|''Jump'' advertisement<ref name="feb10">http://andriasang.com/comzyw/fire_emblem_permadeath/</ref>}}

Over one thousand years have passed since the Shadow Dragon [[Medeus]] died his final death at the hands of the Hero-King [[Marth]] and the continent of Archanea was united under a single flag under his rule.  In this time, countries have come and gone, Archanea has once again split into three nations, and the descendants of Marth and his wife [[Caeda]] are now the royal family of [[Ylisse]], a peace-loving nation which reveres the [[Divine Dragon]] [[Naga]]; this royal family possesses the [[Holy Blood|Brand]] of Naga on their bodies and are the owners of the divine blade [[Falchion]] and the [[Shield of Seals|Fire Emblem]].
 
In the time of the rule of Exalt [[Emmeryn]], reports of bizarre and dangerous behaviour have emerged concerning [[Plegia]], a kingdom neighbouring Ylisse which instead worships [[Grima (character)|Grima]], the Fell Dragon which once threatened mankind and opposed Naga.  In response to this troubling news, Ylisse's Prince [[Chrom]], Emmeryn's younger brother, has convened a small militia called [[Shepherds (group)|The Shepherds]] to observe Plegia's actions and repel violent acts from their neighbor.  Among all of this, there are reports of strange undead creatures roaming the lands, and [[Masked Marth|a swordsman claiming to be the Hero-King Marth himself]] has appeared, wielding the same Falchion now in Chrom's possession.


==Gameplay==
==Gameplay==
* The Free Map system, similar to the world map of {{title|Gaiden}} and {{title|The Sacred Stones}}, allows the player to walk across the map to different locations to battle or shop.
The development team of ''Awakening'' described the game as being intended as an "all-star" assortment of ideas from past {{FES}} installments.<ref name="iwata asks">Iwata, Satoru ''et al.'' (2013). ''[http://iwataasks.nintendo.com/interviews/#/3ds/fire-emblem/0/0 Iwata Asks: Fire Emblem: Awakening]'' [online] Nintendo. [Accessed 2014-07-26]</ref>  Many of these features return from {{title|Gaiden}} and {{title|The Sacred Stones}}, acting as another spiritual successor to the former.
* A new included feature called "dual system" activates when a character attacks an enemy unit and an ally is besides them. This mode powers up the abilities of the attacking unit as well as the ally unit helping with attacks.<ref name="feb10" />
 
* Just as in {{title|Shin Monshou no Nazo}}, the [[My Unit (Kakusei)|My Unit]] concept is used again - a customizable main character, representing the player and playing a large part in the story.
* The [[world map]] system, similar to that of {{title|Gaiden}} and {{title|The Sacred Stones}}, allows the player to walk across the map to different locations to battle or shop.
* Also returning from the directly previous game is the option to turn of the permanency of character death. This is most likely included to attract newer players.
* Two new mechanisms are introduced which are additions to the [[support]] system: [[Dual]] and [[Pair Up]]. The Dual system grants the player's units statistical bonuses in battle when standing next to each other, which can be boosted through gaining supports. The Pair Up system allows two units to fight together to defeat their enemies, with the supporting unit having a chance of dealing more damage to the enemy or protecting their ally from damage the enemy would deal.<ref name="feb10" />
* As in {{title|New Mystery of the Emblem}}, the [[Avatar (Awakening)|Avatar]] concept is used again - a customizable main character, representing the player and playing a large part in the story.
* Also returning from ''New Mystery of the Emblem'' is the [[Casual Mode]], a gameplay option which disables the series' traditional permanent death and allows "dead" characters to return at the beginning of the next chapter.
* Branching promotions return from {{title|The Sacred Stones}}, allowing for further unit customization.
* Branching promotions return from {{title|The Sacred Stones}}, allowing for further unit customization.
* Returning from {{title|Genealogy of the Holy War}} is a multi-generational character system, in which the characters of the game's first generation can fall in love (this time through the mechanics of the [[support]] system) and ultimately marry and have children with each other, with different parent combinations affecting the children's stats and skills. Unlike in ''Genealogy'', these children are not the subject of a separate second-generation story and instead fight alongside their parents through time travel.
==Chapters==
{{main|List of chapters in Fire Emblem: Awakening}}
The main story of ''Awakening'' is comprised of 28 chapters - an introduction, a prologue, 25 chapters, and the finale. Additionally, there are 23 [[sidequest]] chapters in the game, six of which can only be received via [[SpotPass]]. 25 completely new chapters can also be obtained through [[List of bonus chapters and downloadable content in Fire Emblem: Awakening|downloadable content]].


==Characters==
==Characters==
* '''[[Basilio]]'''
{{main|List of characters in Fire Emblem: Awakening}}
:The Western King of the militant nation of Feria, he respects those with valour. He often acts and speaks in a silly way, but possesses the strength befitting of his position.<ref>http://www.nintendo.co.jp/3ds/afej/characters/chara16.html</ref>
 
* '''[[Cullum]]''' (カラム, ''Karamu'')
The core game of ''Awakening'' features 49 playable characters, divided roughly into three groups. There are 30 initial units, comprising a "first generation".  These thirty characters can, like in {{title|Genealogy of the Holy War}}, be paired up to have a set of children characters who join in [[sidequest]] chapters. With [[Lucina|one exception]], the children characters are completely optional, and it is entirely possible to not receive them by simply not pairing up the parents or by not visiting the [[sidequest]]s in which the children are recruited. An additional six characters are available in [[SpotPass]] sidequests unlocked only immediately prior to the [[Grima (chapter)|Endgame]]; these six can only support with the Avatar.
:An armoured knight who serves the vigilante force. He shoulders the vigilantes' defences, but is sorely lacking in presence and isn't noticed even among his fighting peers.<ref>http://www.nintendo.co.jp/3ds/afej/characters/chara7.html</ref>
 
* '''[[Donny]]''' (ドニ, ''Doni'')
Outside of the core 49, a vast array of [[bonus units]] can be obtained through [[List of bonus chapters and downloadable content in Fire Emblem: Awakening|downloadable content]], [[StreetPass]] or [[SpotPass]].  A total of 120 unique units are available through SpotPass, comprised of an assortment of returning characters from prior {{FES}} titles, with another 17 available with redesigned art through downloadable content. In addition to this, the Avatars of players are transmitted to other players through StreetPass and can potentially be recruited in the same way. Any single save file can only have twenty such bonus units active in their party at a time.
* '''[[Emelina]]''' (エメリナ, ''Emerina'')
 
:Krom and Liz's elder sister, the current ruler and "Holy King" of the Holy Kingdom of Iris. She is said to be a peace-loving and kind-hearted queen.<ref>http://www.nintendo.co.jp/3ds/afej/characters/chara4.html</ref>
==Support Conversations==
* '''[[Flavia]]'''
{{main|List of supports in Fire Emblem: Awakening}}
:Basilio's counterpart, the Eastern Queen of Feria. A brave, heroic and strong-minded woman. She and Basilio are rivals.<ref>http://www.nintendo.co.jp/3ds/afej/characters/chara17.html</ref>
 
* '''[[Frederick]]''' (フレデリク, ''Furederiku'')
==Development==
:A knight serving the Holy Kingdom of Iris. He supports Krom as his deputy in the vigilante force. Calm and collected, Frederick prefers guiding others.<ref>http://www.nintendo.co.jp/3ds/afej/characters/chara5.html</ref>
As a result of the ''Fire Emblem'' series experiencing declining sales over the preceding few titles, Nintendo had delivered an ultimatum on the series' fate to the development team at Intelligent Systems: ''Awakening'' needed to reach at least 250,000 copies sold, otherwise the series would be brought to an end.<ref>Laura (May 25, 2013). ''[http://www.siliconera.com/2013/05/25/fire-emblem-awakening-was-almost-the-last-game-in-the-series/ Fire Emblem: Awakening Was Almost The Last Game In The Series]'' [online] Siliconera. [Accessed 2014-07-26]</ref> In response the developers eventually settled on constructing ''Awakening'' as a culmination of elements and lessons from the past ''Fire Emblem'' titles, with a particular emphasis on individual characters and the bonds between them; the latter led to the introduction of the [[Pair Up]] system as a way to further units supporting each other in battle.<ref name="iwata asks" />
* '''[[Gaia]]''' (ガイア, ''Gaia'')
 
* '''[[Geriba]]''' (ゲリバ)
As with {{FE11}}, the translation and localization process for ''Awakening'' was contracted out to the Japanese firm [[wikipedia:8-4|8-4]], rather than being handled in-house by Nintendo of America's Treehouse division like earlier ''Fire Emblem'' titles.
* '''[[Krom]]''' (クロム, ''Kuromu'')
 
:One of the main heroes of the game. Krom is the prince of the Holy Kingdom of Iris, and a descendant of the Holy King who defeated the Evil Dragon. Although royalty, he serves as captain of the vigilante force to keep his country at peace. He wields his nation's treasured sword, the Binding Blade "Falchion".<ref>http://www.nintendo.co.jp/3ds/afej/characters/index.html</ref>
===Demo version===
* '''[[Libera]]''' (リベラ, ''Ribera'')
The American and European Nintendo eShops each released a playable demo of ''Awakening'' for free download, released on January 17, 2013 and March 28th, 2013 respectively.<ref>GoNintendo: [http://www.gonintendo.com/?mode=viewstory&id=194036 DLC Keeps the Epic Adventure of Fire Emblem Awakening Burning Bright (demo next week)]</ref> It allows the player to create an Avatar, albeit restricted to being male and lacking some other design choices, and play through the entirety of [[The Verge of History|Prologue]] and [[Unwelcome Change|Chapter 1]] before ending. All three [[gameplay modes|basic modes of difficulty]] are available for play, but Classic Mode is not available and the player is forced to play in Casual Mode. The demo is restricted to being played a maximum of thirty times in the American release, and ten times for the European release.
* '''[[Liz]]''' (リズ, ''Rizu'')
 
:Krom's sister and the princess of the Holy Kingdom of Iris. She is a member of Krom's vigilante force and a staff-wielding Cleric. Although she appears to be naive of worldly goings-ons and sometimes acts like a spoilt princess, she is kind deep inside.<ref>http://www.nintendo.co.jp/3ds/afej/characters/chara3.html</ref>
The demo possesses a glitch: the [[Bullion]] item does not exist in the demo, but [[Leif's Blade]] (which is available through [[event tile]]s) exists unmodified and so still attempts to load the item if its chance to "steal" a Bullion activates; as there is no Bullion item, the game crashes.<ref name="leifblade">Serenes Forest Forums: [http://serenesforest.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=37074&view=findpost&p=2250914 USA DEMO UP!!!!]</ref>
* '''[[Mariabel]]''' (マリマベル, ''Mariaberu'')
 
:A member of the vigilante force and Liz's best friend. She is the child of an influential noble family within Iris. She acts proud and domineering, but is sweet to her friends.<ref>http://www.nintendo.co.jp/3ds/afej/characters/chara15.html</ref>
The Japanese version does not have a playable demo.
* '''[[Marth]]''' (マルス, ''Marusu'')
:A swordsman who claims to be the Hero King of ages long past. He wields another Falchion, a blade once thought to be unique, and appears during Krom's hour of need.<ref>http://www.nintendo.co.jp/3ds/afej/characters/chara9.html</ref>
* '''[[Miriel]]''' (ミリエル, ''Mirieru'')
:A member of the vigilante force. A methodical perfectionist, she is harsh towards those who act thoughtlessly.<ref>http://www.nintendo.co.jp/3ds/afej/characters/chara12.html</ref>
* '''[[My Unit (Kakusei)|My Unit]]''' (マイユニット, ''Maiyuniito'')
:Another main hero of the game, whose identity is crafted by the player. At the beginning of the game, My Unit is lying unconscious on the roadside, when they are rescued by Krom's vigilante force. Despite losing their memory, My Unit has great knowledge of fighting battles and serves as the vigilantes' tactician.<ref>http://www.nintendo.co.jp/3ds/afej/characters/chara2.html</ref>
* '''[[Richt]]''' (リヒト, ''Rihito'')
:The youngest member of the vigilante force, he's practically their mascot. He acts and speaks like a child, but dislikes being treated as one. He's fond of Krom.<ref>http://www.nintendo.co.jp/3ds/afej/characters/chara14.html</ref>
* '''[[Ronku]]''' (ロンクー, ''Ronkuu'')
:A swordsman from the Kingdom of Feria, located to the north of Iris. His skill with the sword is undeniable, but his skill with women? Forget about it.<ref>http://www.nintendo.co.jp/3ds/afej/characters/chara8.html</ref>

==Pre-release information==
==Pre-release information==
''Fire Emblem: Kakusei'' was announced only briefly on September 13, 2011 at Nintendo's 3DS Conference in Japan, then known only as ''Fire Emblem 3DS''. Two videos were released on the official website. It was noted by IGN staff that its graphics look better than {{title|Radiant Dawn}} for the [[Wii]].<ref>Lucas M. Thomas: 3D graphics that look better than the series' most recent Wii installment.</ref> In addition, one new feature of the game will be two-on-one battles.<ref>Lucas M. Thomas: Two-on-one battles in this FE sequel. That's new.</ref> The game will feature the return of a world map for traveling between the different towns and purchasing items, something that has not appeared since {{title|The Sacred Stones}}.
{{main|Fire Emblem: Awakening pre-release information}}


According to the Japanese Nikkei newspaper, ''Kakusei'' will be the first Nintendo game to offer paid downloadable content, allowing the purchase of additional content through credit cards or prepaid cards, each for several hundred yen.<ref>http://kotaku.com/5871141/nintendo-3ds-games-getting-paid-dlc-heres-the-first-one</ref><ref>http://andriasang.com/comzi0/3ds_paid_dlc_fire_emblem</ref>
First announced on September 13, 2011, at Nintendo's 3DS Conference in Japan, ''Awakening'' came to be the subject of extensive preview coverage, at a level unprecendented for the {{FES}}.


A third trailer was released during the December 27 Nintendo Direct press conference. Although the segment was less than two minutes long (running from roughly 34:25 to 36:08), many new pieces of information were acquired. Most importantly, a title, '''''Fire Emblem: Kakusei''''', and a Japanese release date, April 19, 2011, were revealed. New characters were revealed, along with the fact that every character appears to be voiced, a first for the series. Several former games are mentioned in the video: ''[[Fire Emblem Gaiden|Gaiden]]'' and ''[[Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones|Seima no Kōseki]]'', in reference to the traversable world map, and {{title|Seisen no Keifu}}, {{title|Thracia 776}}, ''[[Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones|Seima no Kōseki]]'', ''[[Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance|Sōen no Kiseki]]'', and ''[[Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn|Akatsuki no Megami]]'', in reference to the skill system. The skill system in this game will be more open than in previous games, and skills can be rearranged with more freedom than in the past.<ref name="ustream"/>
==Reception==
===Sales===
In its first week released in Japan, ''Awakening'' sold approximately 242,600 copies, rivaling the lifetime sales of previous entries in the series.<ref>4Gamer.net: [http://www.4gamer.net/games/117/G011794/20120425050/ 5年ぶりの完全新作「ファイアーエムブレム 覚醒」が24万本越えの「ゲームソフト週間販売ランキング+」] (Japanese)</ref> ''Awakening'' was also number one on the Japanese game charts for its first week.<ref>My Nintendo News: [http://mynintendonews.com/2012/04/25/nine-nintendo-games-in-japanese-top-ten/ Nine Nintendo Games In Japanese Top Ten]</ref> In the following weeks, ''Awakening'' managed to stay high on the Japanese charts.


New magazine advertisements soon appeared in February 2012, the first in Japanese magazine ''Jump'' on February 10. A section of English text describing the game's story and confirmation on several details, such as the free map and the title, were included. Quite notable was the announcement of the [[My Unit (Kakusei)|My Unit]] concept reappearing in ''Kakusei'' - a customizable main character to represent the player. Next, on February 14, a large feature was published in ''Famitsu'', Japanese gaming magazine, revealing many plot details, especially about Krom, Liz, and My Unit.
In a level unprecedented for the series' international incarnation, the United States release was in high demand before and at release with high numbers of pre-orders placed; this resulted in the physical release being marred by shipping delays, with demand far outstripping supply at the release date.<ref>GameInformer: [http://www.gameinformer.com/b/news/archive/2013/02/03/fire-emblem-awakening-delayed-due-to-shipping-error.aspx Fire Emblem: Awakening Delayed Due To Shipping Error]</ref>


On April 21, during a Nintendo Direct broadcast, ''Kakusei'' was confirmed for release in Europe, sometime in 2012. Additionally, a new trailer was released, showing off  voice-acting during battles and a transformation, similar to that of a [[tiger]] laguz.<ref name="europe"/> DLC for Japan was confirmed to be free until the end of May as well.<ref>http://www.rpgfan.com/news/2012/1174.html</ref>
===Critical reception===
Japanese gaming magazine [[wikipedia:Famitsu|Famitsu]] scored ''Awakening'' at 36/40, broken down between its four reviewers as 9/10 each.<ref name="famitsu">[http://the-magicbox.com/1204/ The Magic Box]</ref>


===Videos===
''Awakening'' has received widespread critical acclaim from western reviewers.  The game currently has a rating of 92 on Metacritic<ref>Metacritic: [http://www.metacritic.com/game/3ds/fire-emblem-awakening Fire Emblem: Awakening for 3DS Reviews, Ratings, Credits and More]</ref> and 92.52% on GameRankings,<ref>GameRankings: [http://www.gamerankings.com/3ds/643003-fire-emblem-awakening/index.html Fire Emblem: Awakening for 3DS]</ref> both the highest of any installment in the {{FES}}.  A common theme of critical praise for ''Awakening'' is its success at striking an ideal balance between accessibility for those new to the series, and with the high intricacy and difficulty for which the series is known.

{{Youtube|-kyWch8Y7rc|300|Nintendo 3DS Conference 2011 trailer}}
[[wikipedia:IGN|IGN]]'s Audrey Drake awarded a score of 9.6/10 to ''Awakening'', commenting: "Boasting both the depth and nuance that tactical RPG fans crave and the ease-of-use and fluid tutorial system that newcomers require, Awakening is the ultimate portable strategy RPG, and the new crowning jewel of the Nintendo 3DS’s fledgling library."<ref>IGN: [http://uk.ign.com/articles/2013/01/30/fire-emblem-awakening-review Fire Emblem Awakening Review]</ref>  [[wikipedia:Destructoid|Destructoid]]'s Chris Carter gave ''Awakening'' a score of 9/10, saying: "While Fire Emblem: Awakening may not turn the notch up to 11, it's everything that's right about strategy RPGs. Whatever options you choose to go with at the beginning of the game, it's either one of the most accessible strategy games to date, or one of the most difficult."<ref>Destructoid: [http://www.destructoid.com/review-fire-emblem-awakening-242449.phtmlReview: Fire Emblem: Awakening]</ref>  The Game Informer review scored the game at 9/10,<ref>Game Informer: [http://www.gameinformer.com/games/fire_emblem_awakening/b/3ds/archive/2013/01/30/fire-emblem-awakening-review.aspx Lighting Your Brain With Brilliance - Fire Emblem: Awakening - 3DS]</ref> as did Electronic Gaming Monthly, despite their misgivings about the visual style of the game's battle models.<ref>EGMNOW: [http://www.egmnow.com/articles/reviews/egm-review-fire-emblem-awakening EGM Review: Fire Emblem: Awakening]</ref>  The Escapist awarded the game a perfect 5/5 score,<ref>The Escapist: [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/articles/view/editorials/reviews/10165-Fire-Emblem-Awakening-Review Fire Emblem: Awakening Review]</ref> and both GameSpot<ref>GameSpot: [http://www.gamespot.com/fire-emblem-awakening/reviews/fire-emblem-awakening-review-6403250/ Fire Emblem: Awakening Review]</ref> and GameTrailers<ref>GameTrailers: [http://www.gametrailers.com/reviews/t3dgyn/fire-emblem--awakening-review Fire Emblem: Awakening Review]</ref> gave it the equivalent of a 8.5/10 score.

Fire Emblem: Awakening (Japanese: ファイアーエムブレム覚醒 Fire Emblem: Awakening) is a turn-based strategy role-playing game for the Nintendo 3DS console, released in Japan in 2012 and the rest of the world 2013. It is the thirteenth overall game installment in the Fire Emblem series, the eleventh original title and the first original installment in the five years since Radiant Dawn. It is a distant sequel to Mystery of the Emblem and New Mystery of the Emblem, set thousands of years in the future of the continent Archanea, now a very different world. It follows the story of Chrom, prince of Ylisse and distant heir of the Hero-King Marth, as he leads The Shepherds in observing and combating the bizarre activities of the neighbouring country Plegia.

Awakening is the first title on a Nintendo console to facilitate the creation and sale of paid downloadable content, here coming in the form of purchasable maps and characters, sometimes providing completely unique classes and skills. A special edition package for the game was produced and available in both Japan and America, containing a Awakening-themed "Cobalt Blue" Nintendo 3DS system with unique printing on the shell; the Japanese version of the package also contained a physical copy of the game and 1000 eShop points, while the American version has a digital copy of the game pre-installed on the Nintendo 3DS system. The European release received a similar bundle, except with a Awakening-themed Nintendo 3DS XL, the larger variant of the console.[2]

Originally released in Japan in April 2012, Awakening was not released internationally until the following year. A European release was tentatively confirmed in February 2012, with no specific release date provided, and a United States release was accidentally confirmed by Reggie Fils-Aime at the Electronic Entertainment Expo 2012;[5] solid release dates were not confirmed until December of that year.[1] In the United States of America, Awakening was the subject of an extensive advertising campaign to a scale unprecedented for the Fire Emblem series, receiving extensive preview coverage on Nintendo of America's Facebook page.

Plot


This section has been marked as a stub. Please help improve the page by adding information.


Two sleeping dragons - one a sacred ally of mankind, the other its sworn destroyer. Two heroes marked with symbols of the dragons. Their meeting heralds the dragons' awakening - and the world's ending.
— English text in the game's Japanese logo[6]

Over one thousand years have passed since the Shadow Dragon Medeus died his final death at the hands of the Hero-King Marth and the continent of Archanea was united under a single flag under his rule. In this time, countries have come and gone, Archanea has once again split into three nations, and the descendants of Marth and his wife Caeda are now the royal family of Ylisse, a peace-loving nation which reveres the Divine Dragon Naga; this royal family possesses the Brand of Naga on their bodies and are the owners of the divine blade Falchion and the Fire Emblem.

In the time of the rule of Exalt Emmeryn, reports of bizarre and dangerous behaviour have emerged concerning Plegia, a kingdom neighbouring Ylisse which instead worships Grima, the Fell Dragon which once threatened mankind and opposed Naga. In response to this troubling news, Ylisse's Prince Chrom, Emmeryn's younger brother, has convened a small militia called The Shepherds to observe Plegia's actions and repel violent acts from their neighbor. Among all of this, there are reports of strange undead creatures roaming the lands, and a swordsman claiming to be the Hero-King Marth himself has appeared, wielding the same Falchion now in Chrom's possession.

Gameplay

The development team of Awakening described the game as being intended as an "all-star" assortment of ideas from past Fire Emblem series installments.[7] Many of these features return from Gaiden and The Sacred Stones, acting as another spiritual successor to the former.

  • The world map system, similar to that of Gaiden and The Sacred Stones, allows the player to walk across the map to different locations to battle or shop.
  • Two new mechanisms are introduced which are additions to the support system: Dual and Pair Up. The Dual system grants the player's units statistical bonuses in battle when standing next to each other, which can be boosted through gaining supports. The Pair Up system allows two units to fight together to defeat their enemies, with the supporting unit having a chance of dealing more damage to the enemy or protecting their ally from damage the enemy would deal.[6]
  • As in New Mystery of the Emblem, the Avatar concept is used again - a customizable main character, representing the player and playing a large part in the story.
  • Also returning from New Mystery of the Emblem is the Casual Mode, a gameplay option which disables the series' traditional permanent death and allows "dead" characters to return at the beginning of the next chapter.
  • Branching promotions return from The Sacred Stones, allowing for further unit customization.
  • Returning from Genealogy of the Holy War is a multi-generational character system, in which the characters of the game's first generation can fall in love (this time through the mechanics of the support system) and ultimately marry and have children with each other, with different parent combinations affecting the children's stats and skills. Unlike in Genealogy, these children are not the subject of a separate second-generation story and instead fight alongside their parents through time travel.

Chapters

Main article: List of chapters in Fire Emblem: Awakening

The main story of Awakening is comprised of 28 chapters - an introduction, a prologue, 25 chapters, and the finale. Additionally, there are 23 sidequest chapters in the game, six of which can only be received via SpotPass. 25 completely new chapters can also be obtained through downloadable content.

Characters

Main article: List of characters in Fire Emblem: Awakening

The core game of Awakening features 49 playable characters, divided roughly into three groups. There are 30 initial units, comprising a "first generation". These thirty characters can, like in Genealogy of the Holy War, be paired up to have a set of children characters who join in sidequest chapters. With one exception, the children characters are completely optional, and it is entirely possible to not receive them by simply not pairing up the parents or by not visiting the sidequests in which the children are recruited. An additional six characters are available in SpotPass sidequests unlocked only immediately prior to the Endgame; these six can only support with the Avatar.

Outside of the core 49, a vast array of bonus units can be obtained through downloadable content, StreetPass or SpotPass. A total of 120 unique units are available through SpotPass, comprised of an assortment of returning characters from prior Fire Emblem series titles, with another 17 available with redesigned art through downloadable content. In addition to this, the Avatars of players are transmitted to other players through StreetPass and can potentially be recruited in the same way. Any single save file can only have twenty such bonus units active in their party at a time.

Development

As a result of the Fire Emblem series experiencing declining sales over the preceding few titles, Nintendo had delivered an ultimatum on the series' fate to the development team at Intelligent Systems: Awakening needed to reach at least 250,000 copies sold, otherwise the series would be brought to an end.[8] In response the developers eventually settled on constructing Awakening as a culmination of elements and lessons from the past Fire Emblem titles, with a particular emphasis on individual characters and the bonds between them; the latter led to the introduction of the Pair Up system as a way to further units supporting each other in battle.[7]

As with Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon, the translation and localization process for Awakening was contracted out to the Japanese firm 8-4, rather than being handled in-house by Nintendo of America's Treehouse division like earlier Fire Emblem titles.

Demo version

The American and European Nintendo eShops each released a playable demo of Awakening for free download, released on January 17, 2013 and March 28th, 2013 respectively.[9] It allows the player to create an Avatar, albeit restricted to being male and lacking some other design choices, and play through the entirety of Prologue and Chapter 1 before ending. All three basic modes of difficulty are available for play, but Classic Mode is not available and the player is forced to play in Casual Mode. The demo is restricted to being played a maximum of thirty times in the American release, and ten times for the European release.

The demo possesses a glitch: the Bullion item does not exist in the demo, but Leif's Blade (which is available through event tiles) exists unmodified and so still attempts to load the item if its chance to "steal" a Bullion activates; as there is no Bullion item, the game crashes.[10]

The Japanese version does not have a playable demo.

Pre-release information

Main article: Fire Emblem: Awakening pre-release information

First announced on September 13, 2011, at Nintendo's 3DS Conference in Japan, Awakening came to be the subject of extensive preview coverage, at a level unprecendented for the Fire Emblem series.

Reception

Sales

In its first week released in Japan, Awakening sold approximately 242,600 copies, rivaling the lifetime sales of previous entries in the series.[11] Awakening was also number one on the Japanese game charts for its first week.[12] In the following weeks, Awakening managed to stay high on the Japanese charts.

In a level unprecedented for the series' international incarnation, the United States release was in high demand before and at release with high numbers of pre-orders placed; this resulted in the physical release being marred by shipping delays, with demand far outstripping supply at the release date.[13]

Critical reception

Japanese gaming magazine Famitsu scored Awakening at 36/40, broken down between its four reviewers as 9/10 each.[14]

Awakening has received widespread critical acclaim from western reviewers. The game currently has a rating of 92 on Metacritic[15] and 92.52% on GameRankings,[16] both the highest of any installment in the Fire Emblem series. A common theme of critical praise for Awakening is its success at striking an ideal balance between accessibility for those new to the series, and with the high intricacy and difficulty for which the series is known.

IGN's Audrey Drake awarded a score of 9.6/10 to Awakening, commenting: "Boasting both the depth and nuance that tactical RPG fans crave and the ease-of-use and fluid tutorial system that newcomers require, Awakening is the ultimate portable strategy RPG, and the new crowning jewel of the Nintendo 3DS’s fledgling library."[17] Destructoid's Chris Carter gave Awakening a score of 9/10, saying: "While Fire Emblem: Awakening may not turn the notch up to 11, it's everything that's right about strategy RPGs. Whatever options you choose to go with at the beginning of the game, it's either one of the most accessible strategy games to date, or one of the most difficult."[18] The Game Informer review scored the game at 9/10,[19] as did Electronic Gaming Monthly, despite their misgivings about the visual style of the game's battle models.[20] The Escapist awarded the game a perfect 5/5 score,[21] and both GameSpot[22] and GameTrailers[23] gave it the equivalent of a 8.5/10 score.
