What's so special about Fire Emblem Awakening compared to it's predecessors?
1507077
I have not played any other Fire Emblem games. This game is my favorite of all DS games because it is not childish, has adult voices, wonderful storyline and great interaction between characters. I intend to play it over again, making different choices of character pair-ups, strengthening more characters. It is an intelligent, well written game.

There's a couple things that I feel really help it stand out. For starters there's the relationship system that's in place - which not only gives better bonuses when people with higher relationships are next to one another, but it also unlocks conversations between party members that can be insightful, and entertaining. (I love character development, personally). Relationships that reach an S status can also result in 2nd and 3rd generations entering into the game. Don't fret! this is handled well, and plays in line with some of the other options of the game. It's not as forced as it may sound on the surface. Secondly are the reeking boxes and maps you can download. The boxes are ingame items purchased with ingame currency and let you create random battles to help level up your army and build relationships. These things are invaluable. The maps you can purchase are a lot of fun, and often give you boosts in income or experience, but they don't impact the game itself - you're not missing out on important game stuff if you skip buying these. Lastly, the option of playing casual or old school is nice. Casual removes the finality of death, and it's a great option when you just feel like relaxing and enjoying the story. Old School is great because it's nice to be able to play the game as intended. You can play either of these options on easy or hard settings on top of it all. There's a little more to it than that, but those are the things that I feel stand apart from previous versions. I've gotten pretty deep into the game, and I really can't find anything to complain about so far. I'm enjoying building relationships, and the story is interesting, and the game play smooth. If you've enjoyed past Fire Emblems, chances are high you'll enjoy this one.

I would have to say that Fire Emblem Awakening has much more characters compared to the games I have played, and the support conversations show a lot of back story from characters. Also, the animated scenes are a sight for the eyes. The main campaign goes over 25 chapters and there are nice side stories called paralogues that most times add new characters. I've certainly spent more time in Awakening than other titles I've played.Hope this helped.

Technically it is a sequel to Ayesha and features a few characters from that game, but you do not need to play it in order to understand this one. It's a completely new storyline with new protagonists.

First of all, there are 11 chapters in the base game. This means 11 minimum playthroughs if you were to actually successfully finish each one without losing (It's not a guarantee you'll win the first time). Second, you have 6 characters that play in a variety of ways and most chapters only allow 4 at a time so you could choose someone else to play as on subsequent playthroughs of already played chapters. Finally, Plaidhat (maker of the game) has 2 extra chapters for sale on their site for 99 cents for a total of 13 chapters. In my opinion, this game is a great addition if you are wanting a longer Descent style game to add to your shelf. First of all, there are 11 chapters in the base game.

definitely. the only real things that may feel the same is the overworld map being almost identical in a lot of areas and the overall playability. which isnt a bad thing. its very smooth and fun to play. the dungeons are all different. a lot of cool new puzzles and weapons etc. i think you'd have a lot of fun with this if you're a fan of the original.

Most final fantasy games have their own story and tale to tell. This series has its own unique stories as well but some games play directly off the other.. EX: Tales of XIllia 2. The plot is usually the same compared to FF games though, save the world. The main difference that puts the tales series in its own spotlight is its combat. It is real time, giving you the freedom to move your character around the battlefield. In my opinion this game and every other game from the series is worth buying, and this is coming from a huge final fantasy fan. :) Give it a try... or at least watch some reviews on it. You wont regret your purchase, I love this game. Most final fantasy games have their own story and tale to tell.

The CE version has the extra perks, the regular FF14 game is just the game itself, no extra perks.

This game is totally different from the first one in many ways. Its much more complex and interactive but also much more confusing as to how to do this and that and the skill system is nothing like Guild Wars 1. A lot of the same skills have been used from the first one but they do not work the same way. This is still a great game though especially for people that actually have a life and want to be casual players. I was a huge fan of the first one and although I wish the second one was more similar to the first, I still like it a lot.

With the P's you'll have to buy the pierces for additional game options otherwise it's just a bare bones Tama game. The IDl and 15th anniversary are very similar, the difference is the anniversary has vintage characters and places to visit but they have the same amount of characters which I think is around fifteen or so.

Yes and no. They're different versions of the same exact game. They each have some minor, version exclusive content that the other game does not. This is to encourage player interaction and sharing. But you are not missing out on anything if you get one version and not the other.

no differences in gameplay. just the design. it's an update from the company. that's all. the first edition will be some sort of an collector's edition now since it's out of print.

Its more like a linear ish fps rpg. The only connection to Dragon age is the rpg and branching dialogue and romance. In my opinion as a whole its better than Dragon age. I loved the story and characters.

That's the beauty of this game. This game is intended for new and old One Piece fans! You won't feel lost at all. You'll learn along the way, which character is which. =D

The game has a tutorial but it will explain everything to you once to discover things, for example it will explain to you the fight mechanics once you get to the first fight and is the same with all game mechanics.

You can jump right into the game. It contains start-up tutorial assistance as the story begins. It also fills you in on the back-story along the way. Of course, the previous games are great fun, too - and are recommended just for the fun.

No you don't need to buy the first one, it's a completely different story than any other Final Fantasy game with new races, it's very different than normal offline versions of Final Fantasy and even Final Fantasy XI online.It's an online cooperative multiplayer with a little pvp thrown in with a monthly fee and similar to World of Warcraft but without add-ons and a big plus is the newly added mounts and minion pets and the game looks beautiful especially on PS4 and PC.

Yes this game is easy to understand for new and old gamers the the Fire emblem series and the new relationship system really makes it interesting.
