The new Fire Emblem that is scheduled for release in Japan around March. Which I have to admit, looks amazing! You can now pair up two of your units for a tag team against the computer player. For those who are new to the Fire Emblem series, this is a strategy game, you have a small bunch of units against your opponent which has ridiculous numbers compared to you. At the beginning it is usually seven units vs about twenty. After playing Radiant Dawn, near the end it can be roughly ten units vs around eighty. The goal is to either defeat the boss, clear all enemies or capture the area, which is pretty much defeat the boss and claim his square. Once you lose a unit, you lose him/her for good. No coming back, no fainting, just death.
The graphics are really up to date for the 3DS, truly spectacular. Everything has improved, from the simple birds eye view grid to the stunning critical hits. The 3D looks amazing, every little detail just looks amazing, the characters look great too. This is the first non remake Fire Emblem game that has been released since 2008 which was Radiant Dawn. Also Fire Emblem is the first game with the Nintendo DLC (Downloadable Content) which is like a beta test for future games.
The only thing about the Fire Emblem series is the time it takes to be released within the UK and the US. The main character which has blue hair which may be a descendent of Marth, the original character from the first Fire Emblem. Although the timeline isn't confirmed yet. The main character also appears to be wielding the Falchion which was Marths sword too.
Overall it is shaping up to be a classic of the Fire Emblem series, I for one cannot wait for this game, the online play sounds great, the storyline looks amazing and the return of roaming the map and fighting/training without following the storyline will really make competitive play more interesting. I really do recommend this game for anyone that likes strategy games, I for one am not a fan of of strategy games but I do love this game so pick it up and give it a try when it is released, if you cannot wait then play any other Fire Emblem games, all of them are amazing so you cannot go wrong!
