Topic: Fire Emblem Kakusei (Awakening)

Most fans think that it changes how the game is played, I believe this as well, and that it turns it into a game that doesn't require as much strategy. I don't have a problem with people picking it though, while it may not be what FE should be it gets other people playing.

This is my first Fire Emblem as well.

I'm highly considering Classic Mode because I feel its part of the experience, and pretty much what makes the series unique when it comes to the importance of each decision you make. If you're one of those people who won't enjoy a game if it gets too frustrating, then go with Casual Mode. It's your choice, and really whatever makes you enjoy the game better.

I think casual would take a lot of the magic away. I wholeheartedly recommend playing on classic. It'll be much more tense, and much more rewarding.

All it does is remove permadeath. I'd wager you'd get the same kind of strategic difficulty from having casual mode on hard as someone using classic on normal. I wouldn't worry about it.

If you enjoy playing casual, play casual. what other people say/think/do is not going to make you like a game more/less...

Also... the feet don't bother me per se, but then again I was the only person in my dorm that liked Wind Waker when it launched back in the day... and WW had the same peg feet thing.

The only way the feet would be a deal breaker is if you have a fetish.

hahahahaha! nice!

Less than 2 weeks now! Ugh I wish i was playing this game right now.

12 days 12 hours and 30 minutes

Download or retail if I get it, I know one is cheaper in some regions in the eshop.

... Nope. Still picking Casual. Thanks though.

Ah, there was another question I've been meaning to ask but kept forgetting. The demo mentions for casual mode that you can save at any time. So does that mean you have to be at designated areas to save progress in Classic mode?

You can still suspend at any point though I think. :3

Pretty much what it means is you can save and if you die you can reload it and try again. On classic you can save but its just a quick save. It's gone after you reload it.

Oh. The way they worded made it sound like you couldn't save at any time in Classic.

Got my roommate to start Sacred Stones. Think he's liking it, but he was expecting a smaller cast more akin to a Final Fantasy game

Make sure he does support convos so he can get to know the characters better, he'd probably be disappointed by most of the minor units habing little to do with the main story.

I can now download this game 29 times! 32 gigs FTW!

Casual is likely a safe way to run through the game on your first time to get use to things. I don't see it as a weakness, more a way to get through the game with little frustration. That being said I'm jumping right into Lunatic on classic.

Does this game have multiple files?
