What is unusual is what the developers brought over from the original game. However, this only really affects the dungeon crawling areas, and is rarely a big part of the game. It also brings back Thracia 776‘s fatigue system, in a fashion, where overusing a unit causes them to get tired and decrease their stats. There are a few subquests too, including one to deliver cheese to the ” Cheese Lover”.

A currency system has been added in order to upgrade and refine weapons, though you still can’t buy anything. Here, you can also look around from a first person perspective in order to find items and equipment. Safe areas, like towns and castles, are explored via menus. With this, the in-game saves have been changed to “bookmarks”, which are deleted upon reloading (like in all of the games pre- Radiant Dawn).ĭungeons are explored from an over-the-shoulder perspective, as you can run past enemies or hit them in order to engage and inflict a bit of pre-emptive damage. You can only use it a number of times, but it does help with not only bad tactical decisions but also dealing with unlucky rolls of the dice. In order to deal with this, Mila’s Turnwheel has been introduced, allowing you to rewind to any previous point in the battle and play things out differently.
Fe echoes characters old plus#
There’s still the heavy dependence on luck for dealing crits and dodging attacks, plus the importance of terrain in increasing speed. For example, archers no longer demolish Pegasus riders by default, unless they have the particular skill against airborne enemies. Each character also has skills, determined by either their class or equipped weapon, many of which are passive bonuses. Archers can still attack at point blank and have incredible range with the right setup, and magic drains HP rather than MP. It uses the same single item equipment system (one piece of stat enhancing equipment or a health restorative), you still promote units at Mila statues found in dungeons, and so forth. The gameplay system works much as it did with Fire Emblem Gaiden – unbreakable weapons, no weapon triangle, and no axes. There’s also a new villain named Berkut, nephew of Emperor Rudolf, who has his own tragic storyline to accompany his final battle. A few new villager, Faye, has been added to join Alm in the beginning, who has a rather deranged crush on her childhood friend. There’s also a brand new final Act, consisting of one very large dungeon, though it’s more like a postgame bonus since it’s incredibly challenging. The hero also describes the sights, smells, and general atmosphere of the various caves and dungeons, all of which give each area much more identity with just a brief monologue.Ī new prologue, acting as a tutorial, with Alm and Celicia as kids, has been added and works as a tutorial.
There’s the usual variety of support conversations, newly added (though not as many as the previous two games), plus “Memory Prisms”, which reveal past interactions between certain characters. Plus the translation, handled by 8-4 (who also did Awakening), is a substantial improvement over the rather dull work on Fates by Treehouse. This is the first Fire Emblem game where almost everyone is fully voiced, which makes everyone more distinct.
Alm and Celicia have much more fleshed out personalities the same goes for all of rest of the cast, many who barely had a single line in the original game, who are now much more interesting. But the storytelling, and particularly the characterizations, have been massively improved. The basic plot hasn’t really changed much – the childhood friends Alm and Celicia find themselves on different fronts of a war waged between Zofia and Rigel, each ruled by the gods Mila and Duma, respectively. It was always something of an oddball, but this revamp brings back many of its discarded mechanics and give them a chance to shine, while wrapped in the sheen and granted the niceties of the modern entries. The third and final Fire Emblem game on the 3DS seeks to evolve by looking to its past – it’s actually a remake of Fire Emblem Gaiden, the second game of the series.
