You can obtain axes, but they’re only used for sub-quests or for exchanging. It’s possible to keep advancing the days until it reaches 999, whereby it will no longer increment. However, none of this seems to serve any purpose except for looking cool. Meanwhile the season only changes when you start a new Act. Likewise, although there is StreetPass functionality, it is extremely basic and consists of sharing Profile cards and occasionally receiving hints to find rare enemies and items.Īs you move across the map and enter locations, the day will advance by 1. Sadly, there is no local or online multiplayer modes to enjoy.

Q) Is there a Multiplayer or StreetPass mode?
#FIRE EMBLEM ECHOES SERAPHIM FULL#
The base game itself is packed full of content, including much that was not present in Gaiden. In any case, just like previous games, the DLC is entirely optional and not required for full enjoyment of the game. So this isn’t new to Echoes what is new is they’re asking for a lot more money upfront. We can’t really answer that question, but the previous two games ( Awakening and Fates) also included a similar amount of DLC–perhaps even more–and at a comparable price. Q) Why is there so much DLC and why is it so expensive? If we want Nintendo to continue pursuing remakes, we need to hope Shadows of Valentia sells well enough. However, at this current point in time, nothing is set in stone. Secondly, it is indeed a possible sub-title for future remakes. Firstly, it acts as a replacement for “Gaiden”, since the word literally means “side-story” and–given the series’s progression–no longer makes sense as a title. The name “Echoes” actually has a double meaning. Q) What’s with the “Echoes” sub-title? Does this mean we’re getting more remakes? Yes, Casual Mode (where fallen allies return once the map ends) and Classic Mode (where fallen allies are gone forever) are both present. Q) Is Casual Mode still in the game? I’m afraid of losing units.

Plus there are lots of subtle additions like Combat Arts that you can learn by training weapons, sub-quests dotted around the continent to make you feel helpful, medals to track your achievements (and to show off), etc. Alm and Celica each have their own parties and story progression upon reaching Act 3, you can switch between the two parties on the fly. Secondly, we have the dual protagonist system, which is different compared to other games. Bumping into enemies triggers short battles, similar to some RPGs. Inside dungeons, you control your character directly as the camera follows behind. The most obvious new addition is the 3D dungeons that you can freely explore. Q) Can you tell me more about the new gameplay features? Moreover, if you enjoy the characters element of the series, there are still ways for characters to shine in Echoes. While the Avatar and ability to pair characters has proven extremely popular for some, they aren’t staple to the series. Q) No Avatar or pairings? I’m outta here! It also boasts incredible production values that may even surpass Awakening and Fates, such as full voice acting for all dialogue scenes. From a gameplay standpoint, Echoes is indeed missing a couple of modern features, such as an Avatar, Pair Up, marriage and children.īut when considered alone, Echoes is an extremely well-made package with lots of unique gameplay features, including many not seen in the original Gaiden. Q) Since it’s a remake, does that mean it’s a step down from Awakening/Fates? That said, beside a few clever references, there is no advantage to playing any of the aforementioned games (and the references work in both directions). Not at all! In general, each Fire Emblem takes place in its own established world, although in the past some games were released as pairs.Įchoes (and Gaiden by extension) is unique in that it takes place between Shadow Dragon and Mystery of the Emblem and also 2000 years before Awakening. Q) Do I need to play previous Fire Emblems to understand the story? Note: Italian, German and Dutch are only available in the European version. Sure, if you know English, French, Italian, German, Spanish or Dutch. Q) Wait, does this mean I can (officially) experience Gaiden in a language I understand? It follows the story of two childhood friends Alm and Celica as they work individually to save Valentia from the threat of war and the troubles caused by a missing goddess. Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia is a 3DS remake of the Japanese-exclusive Fire Emblem: Gaiden, which came out on the NES in 1992.
