# Talk:Fire Emblem Awakening

I want to clean this article up a little bit, but I'm unsure as to which title would be best. "Fire Emblem" is a working title, we know, but with previous games of that name existing, would "Fire Emblem (Nintendo 3DS)" or "Fire Emblem (2012 video game)" be better?

Now that the English-language title has been confirmed as Fire Emblem: Awakening, I propose a move to that title.  Wehpudicabok (talk) 03:10, 7 June 2012 (UTC)
I agree, and moved it. Sergecross73 msg me  03:12, 7 June 2012 (UTC)
In nearly all official sources, such as Nintendo's press releases, their official website, the Nintendo eShop, and even the Fire Emblem Awakening Puzzle Swap panel in StreetPass Mii Plaza for Nintendo 3DS, the game's title is referred to as "Fire Emblem Awakening" without a colon, so shouldn't the article title omit the colon as well? 71.35.22.104 (talk) 02:05, 2 February 2013 (UTC)
Yeah, I guess you're right. I've moved it again. Sergecross73 msg me  02:54, 2 February 2013 (UTC)
The PAL region version of the game has a colon between Fire Emblem and Awakening. This spans to the title of the game cartridge, the title in the 3DS system library, streetpass puzzle, Nintendo UK's site and almost everywhere. It's only the American release that doesn't include the colon. If possible, could someone familiar with editing on wiki add information about how it's stylised outside America please.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 95.150.4.39 (talk) 00:56, 19 March 2017 (UTC) 

Here. Enjoy! Axem Titanium (talk) 18:53, 19 April 2012 (UTC)
Also of note, this isn't the FIRST Nintendo-developed game for which DLC is available. Edited.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.42.3.3 (talk) 21:21, 26 January 2013 (UTC) 

What games came before it? Sergecross73 msg me  21:26, 26 January 2013 (UTC)
( NSMB2 Coin Rush Packs ) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.173.62.51 (talk • contribs) 
It was the first game with paid DLC. NSMB2 didn't have paid DLC until later. Axem Titanium (talk) 05:16, 5 February 2013 (UTC)
Also, Fire Emblem initially came out in April 2012 in Japan, well before NSMB2's late July/August release. So Fire Emblemm came first. Sergecross73 msg me  13:36, 5 February 2013 (UTC)

The article currently is tagged with a "time travel" category. Is this true/warranted? I haven't done a ton of research on the game yet, but I certainly don't recall that being a recurring concept in past FE games I've played, nor do I recall it off hand in what I've read about this one so far... Sergecross73 msg me  21:28, 2 January 2013 (UTC)

It seems a User has informed me in an edit summary that "time travel" comes from the game's explanation as to how characters/levels from different games (which take place in different timeframes) are implemented into the game as DLC. Sergecross73 msg me  18:14, 14 January 2013 (UTC)
Time travel isn't used in this case. Characters are basically brought back to life as ghosts. The game could be tagged with a "time travel" category due to story events, though.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.245.37.178 (talk) 21:35, 17 February 2013 (UTC) 
I've recently started playing Fire Emblem Awakening and the Time Travel tag is definitely warranted as the entire story past Chapter 6 wouldn't have happened without
one of the main characters using time travel. MerkerserTalk to me 05:08, 27 August 2014 (UTC)

The article needs to mention that characters enter into battle with other characters when they are adjacent to an ally. Otherwise, people who haven't played the game would be completely confused. 24.245.37.178 (talk) 21:28, 17 February 2013 (UTC)

I know this has already been discussed in terms of the article name, and I'm certainly not mooting a move (since it did launch in North America first), but I do wonder if it's worth mentioning in the lead sentence that the game's name is stylised as Fire Emblem: Awakening in Europe. The game's official European game page uses this name throughout, and the same applies to the official website, the electronic manual, and the game case's spine to name but a few. Interested to know if this would merit addition to the wiki page. Jack talk 13:17, 15 December 2013 (UTC)

Not really...I mean, different spellings are one thing, but I doubt a colon is going to clear up any misconceptions. (It's not like someones going to think Fire Emblem Awakening and Fire Emblem: Awakening were 2 separate games, or not recognize one or the other due to the placement of the colons...) The fact that Fire Emblem: Awakening redirects to the page is probably enough. Sergecross73 msg me  19:39, 15 December 2013 (UTC)

### Initial comments
"and published locally and internationally by Nintendo" - why not just "published by Nintendo"?
The lead summarises the article well so this meets the GA criteria
"Should the main protagonist or the character Chrom die in battle, the player receives a "Game Over" message and must restart the battle" - is this true in both Casual and Classic mode?
"Awakening was the first Fire Emblem game for the Nintendo 3DS, then unreleased and still undergoing final development" - the 3DS was still undergoing final development or the game?


#### References
I'm using a restricted server at the moment so I cannot access the toolserver. I had to check them manually and found no dead links. The references are also properly formatted


### Close - promoted
I can hardly believe this myself but even now the article meets every aspect of the GA criteria. It is broad, comprehensive and well written. I couldn't find any major issues that would put this GAN on hold. Well done  ☠ Jaguar ☠ 13:45, 7 April 2015 (UTC)

Wow, that was fast. Nice work, ProtoDrake! Sergecross73 msg me 16:10, 7 April 2015 (UTC)

I read someone talking about the "pre-timeskip girls" but I do not know what that means.
Which girls are pre-timeskip and which ones are post-timeskip? Can we identify this on the list? Ranze (talk) 20:47, 21 June 2015 (UTC)

This article lacks any substantial information on the game's notable soundtrack. Unfortunately it seems hard to find sources good on it, but if anybody is able to find enough information for at least a couple sentences, it should be added to the article.

Change "Japanese sales tracker Media Create attributed the initial high sales to Nintendo's promotional campaign." under Sales to "Japanese sales tracker Media Create suggested the initial high sales could be the result of several factors such as the 5 year wait for a new entry in the series, promotional campaigns, new gameplay systems, and new character designs.".  This change request is for the purpose of accurately quoting the source. Javelin59 (talk) 18:15, 22 February 2019 (UTC)

 Partly done: @Javelin59: I didn't replace the existing text with a direct quote as I found the section to adequately sum up the information. I did add "and a five year wait between releases" to the existing sentence for clarification as I didn't see this bit of information in the article. Alucard 16❯❯❯ chat? 12:44, 7 March 2019 (UTC)

Over 77 percent of Americans have NEVER heard of the Fire Emblem series and over 96 percent of Americans have never played any Fire Emblem game ever. Over 85 percent of Europeans have never heard of the Fire Emblem series and over 96 percent of Europeans have never played any Fire Emblem games ever. It's a fact. It's so sad that articles on things that over 90 percent of our planet doesn't even know about gets made good articles.
Most encyclopedias in the world don't even have entries for Fire Emblem and that is a fact (ie Brittanica). I promise you that in no encyclopedias that are created in 100 or more years from now will have any mention of Fire Emblem, it's that irrelevant.JessieLorna9z (talk) 18:02, 11 January 2021 (UTC)

In the synopsis, it says Grima and Robin die forever, but next sentence it says Robin is alive and well? Isn’t this contradictory? 2600:1008:B036:D6C8:90BF:3508:D85A:BB88 (talk) 01:47, 19 June 2024 (UTC)
