It's easily my least favorite game in the series, honestly. It was so focused on jamming in borderline nonsensical fanservice that it neglected to make good maps, its game mechanics were flat-out busted (especially pairup & Nos tanking), a lot of its characters were just super flat anime tropes (literally how does a game get away with making two individual characters whose entire personality is "I'm boring and people often forget me"? Jeez.), and the game actively sabotages its own best plot elements for the sake of adding pointless bonuses. "Hey, remember that memorable scene where Emmeryn fell 100~ feet headfirst and died in a meaningful sacrifice? Well why don't you play this map so you can find out that she ACTUALLY just had amnesia and nobody realized that she was alive the whole time? How fun!"

I dunno. I appreciate that it actually got marketing for once and thus sold, but the quality of the game was, uh, not amazing. I'm a big FE fan, but I feel like Awakening has the least to offer of...well, anything in the series. Even Fates, which followed a lot of Awakening's mistakes in the writing department, at least had better maps & mechanics.

lol the spotpass maps were complete nonsense. It's better to pretend they're not canon. I think the Walhart arc was the best part of Awakening.
