Gi - Bringing Fire Emblem: Awakening to the West has been as hard fought a campaign as any seen within the sprawling battle hardened series. Fire Emblem is a franchise consisting of thirteen main games (including two remakes) that has only had six titles see the light of day outside of Japan. Now Intelligent System‘s war strategy sim is one of Nintendo‘s poster child properties. Awakening saw release back in April 2012 in Japan with no forecasted western release at the time. After Nintendo’s E3 3DS presentation last June, which saw the title glaringly omitted, fans feared the worst. After a subdued reveal shortly afterwards, the title would eventually reach North America on February 4. Now the game is selling out virtually everywhere amidst a stock shortage fiasco
Video game sequels like Assassin's Creed Origins, Doom (2016), and Fire Emblem Awakening were just what these franchises needed to be revitalized.
Lmao what’s Halo Infinite doing on this list?
Who would ever say Halo Infinite saved the Halo franchise
Resi 6 was and still is the worst entry in the series.
7 was a great turnaround, despite people’s concerned about the switch to FP perspective.
DMC5 definitely helped the franchise after the whole DmC debacle. Whilst it was a decent action game, it was a far cry from the series and the characters we knew.
AC Origins is my favourite in the entire AC series. Despite the switch to a more RPG style of gameplay - the setting, soundtrack, length, etc were all amazing. sadly followed up by the ridiculously long and “more of the same” Odsyssey.
I don’t feel it’s fair to say the franchise slipped with Doom 3, Doom 3 was incredibly atmospheric and took the game in a different direction but there’s no denying Doom (2016) was sensational.
Halo 4 & 5 were disappointing but Halo Infinite definitely didn’t save the franchise? What?
I'm going to have to go with SMB 3. I was around when SMB 2 first came out and people hated it. 3 is still arguably the best mario game created.
"Halo Infinite"? Worse Halo ever. Whoever made this list just lost all credibility.
In future lists of a similar nature I have a suspicion Final Fantasy XVI will feature.
After becoming acquainted with the colorful cast of adults in Fire Emblem Awakening, the story soon turns into a tale of time travel involving the children of all these characters.
Are these the best Fire Emblem first-gen characters? Fire Emblem Awakening is not only filled with tactical battles and intense strategizing, but also colorful characters who sometimes fit into this medieval world and sometimes seem better suited to a slice-of-life anime.
i agree fire emblem is all about perma death. cant play on casual.. but then again might be some people who just wanna get through it and experience the story.
