Fire Emblem (series): Difference between revisions

A few years after the official release, three prototype builds, two of ''The Blazing Blade'' and one of ''The Sacred Stones'', were leaked on the internet.<!--The exact details of this seem to have been somewhat lost...?--> ''The Blazing Blade''{{'}}s two prototypes, colloquially called [[Fire Emblem (GBA) prototype build 0205|0205]] and [[Fire Emblem (GBA) prototype build 0219|0219]], are largely complete and in a playable state, though there are some bugs. ''The Sacred Stones''{{'}}s [[Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones prototype|prototype]] is largely incomplete, and is only truly playable to [[It's a Trap!|Chapter 8]], though the backbone for the rest of the game-maps that would clearly become the ones appearing in the final game and basic setup like deployment positions for player units-is implemented, it is largely in a very unpolished state. Both prototypes feature a wealth of debug menus and features, allowing the player to, for example, warp to any chapter from a menu at leisure and max a unit's stats with a few button presses. The prototypes also feature some early character designs differing from the final game, for instance, [[Heath]] has red hair with a silver tuft in ''The Blazing Blade''{{'}}s prototype instead of his green and silver hair in the final.

Closing the Nintendo DS-era is {{FE12}} released on July 15, 2010 only in Japan. It was made to celebrate the series twentieth anniversary, a remake of the second half of the third game of the series was released, though only in Japan. This was the first game since the series had hit worldwide shelves to be released exclusively in Japan. This game was the first game to introduce the [[avatar (mechanic)|avatar]] system and [[Gameplay_modes#Classic_and_Casual_Mode|casual mode]] to the series, though this is often overlooked due to the game's Japan-only release.

{{FE13}} was ''Fire Emblem{{'}}s'' first foray into the [[Nintendo 3DS]] console, released on April 19th, 2012 in Japan and 2013 internationally. It is the first non-remake title in the five years following ''Radiant Dawn''. It takes place within the same universe as ''Shadow Dragon and the Blade of Light'' and associated games, but a substantial time later. Unlike {{FE12}}, this game was released internationally. Much of the gameplay was simplified or made easier in order to appeal to a wider audience. ''Awakening'' reintroduces child characters and introduced the [[avatar (mechanic)|avatar]] system and [[Gameplay_modes#Classic_and_Casual_Mode|casual mode]] to a wider audience.
