Topic: Fire Emblem Kakusei (Awakening)

Is the FREE Marth DLC still available? Im going to Gamestop later to get this game. Anyway, Google fails me with links and no real yes or no answer to my question.

It'll be free until March 6th, so don't worry you have plenty of time.

Tiki is so hot. Her theme song is hot too.

not at all. There are some really awesome fan-service moments, but nothing that is necessary. The Akaneian saga (Marth games) are the mythology of the world of Awakening, but you can play it perfectly well without knowing about it.
The DLC maps and random unit drops are especially awesome fan service.

Been thinking of getting this game, but I can't decide if I want the physical copy or go digital. Still need to try the demo first as I hadn't played a Fire Emblem game for a long time.

@Discostew: Definitely give the demo a shot; i'd never been interested in FE before and the demo absolutely sucked me in. :3

Anybody else notice crocomire's skull in chapter 9?

Someone isn't playing Lunatic

@theblackdragon - My plan is to play as the female after I beat this.

So far I married Nowi. Also Sumia and Chrom.

all right, so i figured it out — lucky for me my husband is playing it too, and you can earn some mad experience messing around with StreetPass Unit battles and the Paralogue fights that opened up too, so I was able to level up my doods enough to go ahead and kick Risen butt. a merchant even showed up for that battle and gave me a nifty item that raised my Res stat by 2 for saving them, so that was good times.

also, i just married Chrom this morning — it wasn't really 'married', but we're listed as 'husband' and 'wife' under each other's stats, haha. next i think i'm'a focus on Sully and Frederick. i love these support talks~
_{i 'bout died laughing when i got Chrom and Frederick to Support Level C haha~}

I really want to get Chrom and Sumia together, but my Sumia is so low leveled if I tried to get her in battle she might just die.

Sully and Vaike seem to be getting along well in my game.

@Emaan - Have Sumia as the support instead of the attacker

That's true.

I just don't want to have one less good person on the field in these later chapters, for the sake of getting Chrom and Sumia married.

Actually I did that on Lunatic and she caught up nicely

Haha apparently I wasn't the only one to think that. In fact when I first saw the dragon (come on now that isn't a spoiler you see him IN THE TITLE CUTSCENE) in the flesh I said, "hey there Crocomire's relative!" XD

I reclassed Nowi to be a sage, and for some unknown reason, she seems to be better than she was a manakete!

So I just got my copy yesterday and I am loving it! I am obsessed with raising the friendship levels, but I wish I could pick more characters for some maps. So far I am trying to get My Character (Valkarie) to marry Stahl, Chrom to Marry Sully, Lissa to Marry Vaike, and Virion to Marry Sumia. Those are my eight favorite characters so far, but I really want to use Lan'Qu and Donnel (especially Donnel) but usually can't pick that many people so far. do the later levels let you pick more characters, or does it generally stay the same?

Later levels tend to be between 10-14 characters.

Finally! Got it. Gamestop said they'd call me but didn't. I saw my manager playing it in his office at work, he informed me that they don't call. But i got it!

Have to wait till Tuesday for my copy. Really want to play it.

You can also buy a reeking box and use that. It lets you fight some risen which is very useful for raising support levels.
