It says Fire Emblem on the front, with no "Awakening" or "Sacred Stones" after it. Clearly, this is the first in the series.
Okay, here we go.
Wait, that's all the info I can put in? Where's the stat modifiers? Where's the avatar appearance?
No, wait. Clearly they're just going to use the stats I already have from Awakening. That's good, because I maxed them all out.
Scariest chapter name ever.
Is this a Fire Emblem cliche or something? Waking up in the middle of a field and meeting people who instantly like you and accept you? I feel like I'm playing a GBA version of Awakening.
I...guess it is. : /
All I previously know about Lyn is that she's an Assist Trophy in Brawl.
Does she get to dash across the entire map and slash people instantly in this game too?
Oh no. No no no NO NO. We are NOT doing the amnesia thing agai-
Oh. Good.
My internet name is now officially Lyn-approved.
So then any complex backstory for me is quickly glossed over as something happens.
Convenient.
What is it with bandits in Fire Emblem games? I feel like there are more bandits than civilians, honestly.
Yes, that's what bandits do.
Ain't no way I'm staying in here. Gimme my Brave Sword and Thoron and Mjölnir and-
Sure I can. I think I got the Silver Medal for Most Enemies Killed in Awakening.
Gold was Morgan. It's always Morgan. Kid knows how to fight.
Do you not know what this fancy gold robe I'm wearing means? It means I'm a Grandmaster, lady. I'm, like, the pinnacle of strategy.
Let's do this.
Advice? My advice is to sit back and watch as I single-handedly destroy these chumps with magic.
Wait, what?
...
...
...
I hate this game.
It looks like my job will not consist of smashing my enemies into tiny bits, and will instead consist of babysitting a bunch of weaklings.
And there was much sadness.
Well, if I'd brought my Swiftsole with me, you wouldn't move so slowly. Sorry, but I didn't plan on waking up in a field with nothing.
Although you'd think that would be something I'm used to by now.
The silly thing about Fire Emblem is that most of the time, combat consists of enemies running to you, not away from you. It'd be cooler if you had to run them down or something.
But that's probably just my RTS mind talking.
Unless you can throw your sword, like that stupid animation for Amatsu in Awakening.
Oh, I guess you only have an Iron Sword. Well, that's cool. I used only those through the entire campaign of Sacred Stones.
This is why I never put axe users in my army.
If you screencap it perfectly, it looks beautiful when you hit someone. Like it's a magic sword of turning enemy health into light.
One turn later, he's dead.
Though he managed to hit. I would be upset, except for the fact that this is probably a cutscene designed to teach me to use vulnerary even though clerics are a much better way of restoring health.
Predicted.
That's good. You're smart enough t-
Oh please. Are really this lazy?
You know, if I was the one with the sword, this wouldn't be happening.
Wait a sec! Where did those Vulneraries come from? And why does she have two?
I'm just going to assume that the bandit dropped them.
You totally couldn't have done this yourself, Lyn.
Uh, an assist trophy?
Dumbest. Name. Ever.
I'm going to spare you the embarrassment of laughing at that name, and just kill you.
Aw crap.
While your concern for my safety is great and all, I think I'll just pick up your sword and kill him myself if you die.
You know, it's way cooler that way.
Oh yeah, I forgot about the gate healing factor. That's always annoying.
Convienent.
Whoa.
W-wait, don't leave! I need that sword t-
Boom. Lyn's got some moves.
Eirika's crit animation was way lamer than this.
To be honest, I would probably be thinking the same thing if I was him. How did she split into three copies, vanish, and then attack?
Impressive. Most impressive.
Not really. Cutscene Power and Plot Armor shield you from falling to any early game mooks.
And here we do. We win.
Now we can steal everything insid-
Wait, what?
Yeah, grabbing a Vulnerary from your satchel and giving it to you was pretty exhausting.
All shall bow before my Vulnerary-grabbing skills.
Uh, I guess? I wasn't really planning on going anywhere, but if you're that impressed by my ability to use Vulnerary...
Oh. That sucks.
I could make another joke about how it's always bandits, but out of respect for Lyn I won't.
The chief goal of Fire Emblem is to teach guys that women are just as good at killing people as they are.
Well, that's good. Off to adventure, I guess?
Uh, if we had more than one sword, I guess I could train you.
Wait, so... I'm actually in charge in this game?
Sweet. No high-ranking Lords to overrule my good advice.
To battle!
