![]() Lyn and the enemies are tough, and your characters can die in Paralogue battles (if playing in Classic Mode). Additionally, Lyn is the opponent in this battle, which means you'll only have one Emblem Ring for your entire army if you choose to do the battle now. Since you've only had Emblem Lyn for a little while, you might still have a ways to go before you even reach level 10. Much like we suggested in Chapter 12 - The Sentinels with Paralogue - The Exalt at the start of this chapter, we recommend waiting until you've gotten more Emblem Rings and leveled up more characters to attempt this Paralogue too. On the Chapter 13 World Map, you'll also discover a new Paralogue for Emblem Lyn called, Paralogue - The Lady of the Plains. Most importantly, create more Bond Rings, if you don’t have enough for each of them to wear. Additionally, remember to interact with Fogado, Bunet, and Pandero to add them to your Ally Notebook. You’ll also find new items at the Boutique and a new map at the Tower of Trials. ![]() The higher difficulty makes the minigames harder, but you’ll receive more Bond Fragments for completing them. When you return to the Somniel after completing Chapter 12 - The Sentinels, you’ll find that the difficulty level at the Training Yard can now be increased. ![]() Beyond those who play the mobile version, Heroes, and those who poked around the bonus modes of the past couple installments, these names are most likely unfamiliar to most western players.Īs a fan of this series, I enjoyed the concept and use of the Emblem Rings, so perhaps this is the introduction to the vast history of Fire Emblem characters (that aren’t just sword users) that is needed for a wider audience.Play Chapter 13 - Before the Battle - New Unlocks at the Somniel Since these Emblem Rings summon different main characters from the history of Fire Emblem, it begs the question: will people play specifically for this concept? A Fire Emblem game wasn’t brought to the West until the seventh one, The Blazing Blade, yet Intelligent Systems seems expectant of players to rejoice over the return of older characters such as Sigurd and Leif. How the Emblem Rings affected my overall strategy felt familiar, yet different enough that it's a welcome change to the core of Fire Emblem combat.

This also might be good news for those who have strong opinions about the design of the main character. Every unit gets a design mashup when you “engage” with each ring’s Lord, and the ones I saw had me wanting to try out every combination possible. She is a dauntless and determined seeker of truth. ![]() In practice, it felt reminiscent of the “pair up” mechanic introduced in Awakening, but this time as an equipable item. Saphir is one of the playable and recruitable Unit Characters of Fire Emblem Engage. Structurally, Fire Emblem Engage plays out like a typical fantasy adventure. The most advertised additions to gameplay are the 12 Emblem Rings, which summon Lords from Fire Emblem’s past to help with battles by providing stat boosts, weapon options, and much more.

There’s an attention to detail with how the game is presented that feels new for the series. What was apparent from my time playing a near-final build was that the game is practically done – or rather, anything you would expect from a finished Fire Emblem game is there and looks beautiful, to say the least. However, what I’m left wondering is whether or not developer Intelligent Systems is too reliant on a nostalgia that may not exist with many fans. Plus, the more I dove into the single chapter I was allowed to play, the more I realized how fun and innovative gameplay has become with each new entry in the franchise. What immediately stood out to me was the visual upgrade in the overall presentation of the game – it looks super clean in 2022. As I played Fire Emblem Engage, it felt great returning to the classic turn-based strategy combat that we haven’t seen since 2019’s Three Houses. ![]()
