![]() Alm’s surprisingly straightforward and clever despite both his upbringing and his lineage. He leads The Deliverence against the Rigelian Empire to the North as well as the corrupt Zofian Military. Alm: One of the game’s two protagonists.Here’s a few noteworthy ones and be warned, there are MAJOR spoilers. Nintendo took the existing story and not only fleshed it out but gave every single character–both old and new–a detailed and fleshed-out backstory. Kudos to Nintendo for this one: Anyone who’s played Fire Emblem Gaiden will tell you the story was bare bones. They get mixed up with some pirates while visiting from Archanea–where the events of the first two games starring Marth take place–and end up helping Celica on her mission. ![]() ![]() The Whitewings Sisters and the origin of the Triangle Attack that’s been staple in the series–Palla, Catria and Est–are playable characters. The game takes place between the events of the first two Fire Emblem games (Shadow Dragon and Light and Shadow) on the continent of Valentia. The game pushed the NES to its limits and was ahead of its time for reasons I’ll get into in a moment.įire Emblem Echoes: Shadows if Valentia is called Fire Emblem Echoes: Another Hero King in Japan. Why? Because it was released the year after the SNES had been released. For those who might have missed the Fire Emblem Direct earlier this year, this is a remake of the Japan-only Fire Emblem Gaiden–a game that was up until now considered the Black Sheep of the Fire Emblem series. While it is true Nintendo has alot–and I mean A LOT–of experience remaking old games (Starfox and Pokemon both come to mind), never before has Nintendo taken a game from the 8-bit NES era and modernized it like they did with Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia.
