this is an amazing video, I gave it a like Fire emblem awakening is my favorite game of all time due to how influential it is for me.This was my first fire emblem game and the first play through i didnt know about supports, pair ups, or that you could even change the chracters weapons lol, but the game just drew me into the world, its story and characters. I still remember how id always sneak playing the game late into the night due to my parents not allowing me to play games for more then an hour a day. This game for me just grows better and better like fine wine. Yes its not perfect and i do have some criticisms, but I love this game so much. it genuinely changed my life, which the only other game i can say did that was fire emblem 3 houses. This game brought me into loving anime, strategy games, and the games art style helped me to get into drawing. SO thank you fire embelm awakening for changing my life

I need to replay this again. I remember falling inlove with the premise and how the game started, even if I didnt like how some plot threads went down towards the end of the game. Personally the way I got past the absurd difficulty spike from the later parts was reclassing about 6 or so people into Snipers.... also abusing Imca's specials to fit in as many enemies on screen to bombard.

One big thing kind of irritating me with the game is that each battle resets the last memorized battle option, so I find myself having to renavigate the same menu selections less intuitively. I would also like to see more path options that aren't functionally similar at all.

@@CommRio 505 were responsible for its localisation. Among others, they hired Brian Gray (Core scenario translator) and i just don't like how he writes, as he's known to take plenty liberties with his work. At the end of the day, just personal preference. On top of that, i tried the German version, which turned out to be a 1:1 (machine?) translation of the English script...including quirks of the English language that don't work in German... It was...comically broken :D Overall, i just really couldn't get into it. I don't like Gray's work and had no alternative, so i dropped it. No refunds, because i wish R&B all the best, i just wished they ended up with a different publisher.

@@johnanth It's less about specific examples and more a general issue. Characters were extremely exaggerated. Like Lian being written either like a complete ditz or a downright bully. Or your early main quest giver, Ymir. I guess the intention was to portrait him as sassy slave driver, instead he, too, comes off as having room temperature IQ. And for a game entirely focused on its characters, i really couldn't get into a single one.

@@MaverickHunterXZA Thank you. I don't speak Japanese to be able to say. I will say that from this video, the writing is in an American style, but maybe in a way that Americans cannot perceive (but I can, from a British perspective). I don't take any particular issue with that, and think a localisation in a Japanese cadence would sound stilted, so I have to be humble here and accept the American form. From what you say, I understand it to be an issue with the translation than the original script (?), so perhaps the narrative underneath is good if we look past the writing style. That said, I question how strong the narrative is if it tries to be character driven with 120 characters, while also doing little in constructing a believable society.

In English the name would be pronounced like I did in the video Ag-ness but because they accented the e that's the clue that it's pronounced Ah-nyess.
