Damn, that butterfly has bad luck. First it almost get's stepped on by a group of soldiers, then it's flying through a place that's on fire, then Chrom and Lucina are trying to slice it... It's just not it's day is it?

Absolutely

[@TMX1138]

And to think that 10 years ago, this could’ve been the VERY LAST Fire Emblem game ever!

[@thatgui88]

:(::: no we are back to square one. The latest FE game was not the greatest.

[@isseihyoudou5810]

​@@thatgui88 Legit they tried to make another Fates copy but has some Awakening aspects to it too. What's crazy is that the best selling Fire Emblem games ever were Awakening and Fates before Three Houses. It really sucks that Intelligent Systems thinks we need another Awakening and Fates. Yes, Awakening was awesome. Fates was terrible. Absolutely God awful. Only the gameplay was good and so IS focused only on the gameplay with Fire Emblem Engage. Story was just as incoherent as Fates.

1:00 the Chills still gets me anyone else

[@SaverioStyle]

It always had. I love this game.

[@girlenenovo8004]

The moment i first saw this I fell in love with this game. The moment I inserted the cartridge, started playing and saw this, I knew I was in for a great adventure. And, I was not let down. T'was a great adventure, from the moment Chrom awoke me from my nap to the moment I defeated Grima. And this cutscene is surprisingly able to summon up my experience in the best way possible. Fire Emblem awakening really is one of the best, most artistic games ever made. It is one of those games that really leaves a mark on the player.

[@rockbell1036]

Henrique novo Gipsy Hey, if your liked Awakening, your should definitely play the other games!

[@pyronerd2737]

Rockbell I was looking for the classic "Awakening sucks" answer, but i found a respectful old fire emblem fan. I think it's the first time XD

[@gleaming8103]

SO TRUE. i have 400+ hours on this game.

[@vmcoelho]

This game remembers me from when i had my second kid... didn't have much free time so, i was always playing FE awakening on my 3ds. I have a couple of pictures with the baby in my arms and the 3ds in my hand haha, good times

[@BobaBuwan]

SAME

[@RenagadesSW3]

Same here dude honestly my first fire emblem game

[@ciello___8307]

yeah it was a good game. Literally saved the series. Although I think gameplay wise it was a little bland in terms of map diversity.

[@jacktwelve1710]

This game is 10 years old (in Japan), crazy how time flies by

[@thekiss2083]

This video convinced me to buy a 3DS. $240 all told? Totally worth it.

[@warriorperson7872]

Wait, so crazy Grima Robin that was with Validir came through the portal that the revnant came through? Hmmm. Was wondering how he got in the current time

That scene with the dragon, “Marth”, Chrom and Robin always gives me the chills it’s so epic...

[@ireallylikenintendo6366]

That transition to the main theme still gives me chills to this game Gosh I love this game so much, even years later it’s still my favorite video game of all time

[@Fibah]

I love this opening so much. I always feel so sad for Lucina when i see her escaping from her ruined world :(

[@Qeisama]

The game that saved the franchise and the starting point of the modern FE era. I had to come back to this after playing Engage. Been a fan since the GBA Fire Emblem and still thankful that Nintendo didn't cut FE series as a whole.

[@panks787]

shivers man...shivers every time.

[@lVicel]

Can't believe it's been more than 8 years... So many thing happens since I was the tactician of The Shepherds

[@thePettiest1]

I first played the game when it was released so long ago... I never realised how good this intro actually is, until I replayed the game in 2020. Guys, this intro is sooo good!!! The way it actually starts off in the future when the zombies invade and then goes back into the present[of the game] is such an interesting way of framing the story! As if the future and Lucina were the actual starting point of the game. And then in the present Chrom is introduced as the main character... Also, that moment when Lucina runs towards the time gate without looking back to the burning ruins of her home... it's framed so damn good and the musical buildup that transitions so smoothly into the game's main theme just ends me everytime!!! Holy shit xD

[@accountnamewithheld]

Lucina had to fight damn hard to even get the chance to go back in time. So it deserves some epic music

[@Goldmight]

i remember playing this for the first time and my wife is sumia and i always skip the intro until i married her then i saw her and chrom for the first time in the opening i was likes"........shit did i broke the continuity"

[@NinjaxShadowXx]

My 1st Fire Emblem game that I actually beat. So glad I downloaded that demo before it launched

[@TMX1138]

Me? I got it as an Easter present!

[@compherut]

This game started it all for me I have now played every game in the series and bough numerous consoles purely to play those games I love fire emblem it’s freaking amazing

[@compherut]

To this day this intro gives me chills and changed my life awakening was my first fire emblem game and well now I own all of them so I think it did good XD

[@Cerbleur07]

This title screen is so EPIC, still to this point and there hasn't been another FE intro like this awesome. It always makes me shed a tear how beautiful it is, just one time travel could change fate despite the odds. HANDS DOWN AWAKENING, THE CONCLUSION OF THE CLASSIC AKANEIA'S HISTORY!!

[@GHOSTDATA]

[@CJWII]

Just a flood of emotions from the moment Emmeryns tears fall and you see Chrom, Robin, and "Marth" facing the dragon. What a game, man.

[@carlbloke8797]

Happy 8th Anniversary to this legendary game!

[@baileyw4522]

This intro holds up really well even today. I first played Awakening in 2020 after experiencing Three Houses, my first FE game. Still astoundingly good, and I am excited to experience more of the series' history.

[@RoyalCrustle]

It's been around 9 years since I beat Awakening, and now it's time for a new playthrough. Engage got me hyped.

[@DragonHeart613]

To think that Nintendo was THIS CLOSE to canceling the entire Fire Emblem franchise altogether if Awakening hadn't gone on to become as successful as it thankfully was, scary thought. I love this series so very much.

[@twinflame8408]

I've never skipped this while playing because the music and animation are so perfect (just finished chapter 11 and I cried a few times so far orz)

[@NegaPanda64]

The piano melody that kicks in as soon as the arrows start flying towards the beginning of the movie is absolutely invigorating..Kudos to Nintendo for another amazing Fire Emblem game, and another incredible soundtrack as well.

[@ssssssloth]

I love this cutscene because it recontextualizes everything for me. With the world ending and all the big fate-dragon stuff, this is really a story about a father and his daughter.

[@Somecreacher]

Lil late but happy 10 years to one of my favorite games ever :)!

[@xacmashe3852]

I keep noticing something new every time I watch this. At 1:41, at the tip of the Falchion, you can just barely see the back of Validar. The opening really foreshadowed him to be an important villain. It really is disappointing how he was a poor man's Gharnef.

[@DabiriRoderyk]

I absolutely love this game (just got it). Watching this it almost makes me cry over two scenes (Marth and Chrom fighting and when it shows Emmeryn) because when you get to those points in the story, you realize the significance, and with the Fire Emblem Theme, it's just absolutely incredible.

[@AdvanceWarrior]

1:04 I cry everytime it drops! 😣😭❤️

[@wassup9378]

This means SO much more knowing that it was meant to be the last game of the franchise and, just like Lucina saved her world, Awakening saved the Fire Emblem series

[@SKßœñ2.8]

Still gives me chills that it might have been like an alternate reality were FE12 was the last game🥶

[@shadowofchaos725]

The title was freaking "Lovebirds" in Japanese and North America. While that is still subjective since MaMU can marry Sumia and FeMU can marry Chrom... it's still shoved in your face. Sigurd and Diadora/Deidre all over again, except you can actually say "no" as the player. They're possible, but none of them are "canon". Ever.

[@Snappers1_]

0:50 Poor Lucina... she's been through so much. Her only chance to change the future so they can prevent the awakening. That's a lot to take in. ;-;

[@pinkpeacock313]

I still restart this game from time to time im on my 12th playthru truly a classic

[@RobFstar]

We all know the people who disliked this are really mad that chrom canonly married sumia

[@0axis771]

+rob fstar They aren't canon completely, but they are the closest pairing that is canon and hinted the most, even if the later support conversations were bland and tasteless. But in the end, pairings are canon to what you believe in. They made no hints regarding the parents of Owain, Inigo, and Severa. Though the noncanon meeting with SSB4 Lucina and Inigo might disprove Chrom x Olivia.

[@jasminegeralds4323]

it isn't canon lol

[@OtomostheCrazy]

rob fstar I thought it was a reference to Marth's marriage.

[@paperluigi6132]

Jas G Then why is she in the intro?

[@TimCeallaigh]

honestly, they could just not show her face like various other player decided FE characters, but they choose to...

[@tsuyu032696]

I still get chills from watching the opening.

[@nephilim6001]

This will live on as a legend.

[@brennangleason2997]

[@aquaperi4848]

Happy 10th anniversary of the U.S. release date for Fire Emblem Awakening. One of the best games ever made.

[@shadowofchaos725]

Oh THANK YOU random internet person. The meaning of life is now clear to me. All because you're nitpicking at the title of a recorded video in which the words are pretty much accepted as interchangeable when referring to the opening of a game.

[@UmbreonAndEspeon1]

Can't get ENOUGH of this!!

[@funkypants7297]

Does anyone else cry every time at the ii chord when Emmeryn is about to fall? 1:17

[@Rhin0beak]

Just got Lucina in engage and it made me wanna come back and watch this

[@theunseen896]

you know what's crazy in other fire emblem games the intro music sounds like the begging of the story but in awakening you feel like the music of the intro is the begging to the end of the story like it's the end of a beloved franchise but I'm so happy that this game opened the doors to new players and kept the veterans too and help the franchise as a hole live and be very successful :)

[@shadowofchaos725]

[@Fabu_2376]

No me gustan los juegos rpg y jamás pensé que uno me engancharía como lo hace este, larga vida a la serie fire emblem 🙏

[@kariosar]

3ds really needs to support movies. This was absolutely gorgeous.

[@DNinja]

By far the best opening

[@Iominia]

In my opinion Chrom and Sumia are the Canon pairing when Robin is male (and that Robin marries Lucina), but Chrom and Robin are the Canon when they are female. I guess its because the opening seems to show male Robin. plus that extra cutscene in the game that plays when Robin is Lucina's mom. Does anyone else agree?

[@shadowofchaos725]

Joie Russell There are many loopholes to Robin being Lucina's mom. Two that come to mind are that the Japanese translations were changed for Morgan to cover his fear of bugs in that support contradicting his love of bugs. Lucina's sibling support is clearly meant for Cynthia. Djelle/Kjelle being afraid of bugs is just as jarring. Lucina's person of choice seems to be Gerome from the drama CD. But of course self insert ships override anything else. Every piece of media outside of the game point to Robin never marrying tbh.

[@jameskozy7254]

It looked so good in 3d too

[@fredv7349]

When I first saw that opening, I knew then that this was a good game

[@markscool33]

am i the only one who want's an anime having these kinda of animations...?

[@da_big_chungus]

The butterfly represents the game developers. The movie starts with the glory days, which turns bad real fast. (Represents the decline of the FE series) The butterfly dodging the soldiers is the development team navigating the problems of the past. Grima's threatening appearance is the team being threatened with cancellation of the series if the game didn't sell enough. Lucina going back to the past references the team going back to the past to look for hope for the future of the series. The butterfly flying around all the characters appearing is them creating the new world for the game. Emmeryn's tear of sorrow represents the sorrow of the reality that this very well could be the end of the series if the game doesn't succeed. Finally the buttery becomes one with Chrom as if to put all their hopes on him to save the series. And now the series is now more popular than ever before.

[@WillEnglish]

The best game on the 3DS. Barn none.

[@A_Wise_Pleb]

Asael Romo I think canonically robin is a male so I think it makes sense Sumia is canon

[@marble-soda-pop-pop]

I’d like to imagine that the creators made it relatively unclear who is the canonical wife. The intro had Sumia, but the manga made Chrome marry that random village maiden. I’d like to imagine it’s Chrom and female Robin that is canon, but it is still unclear

[@UmbreonAndEspeon1]

1.Is that butterfly Naga? 2. It wouldn't be done overnight, but I think this game is so amazing, it should be turned into an actual anime. They could cover the whole game in 26 episodes.

[@BradleyDS90]

Awesome opening movie. They really should make some kind of animated film or something. :)

[@TheYogurtGoddess]

I cover the screen at the Chrom x Sumia part I really dislike that ship lol

Okay. Just don't tell me you're a rabid Robin x Chrom fangirl.

[@fudgekittens]

shadowofchaos725 Olivia x Chrom is obviously the best

[@TheYogurtGoddess]

No, Sumia is my waifu. . . but bias aside, I just think their supports weren't good and the ship is too "forced".

[@gremlech2846]

Why are Olivia and chrom, I mean the other women are all nobles and robin is a war hero, but Olivia is just a dancer.

[@sian_nyan]

鳥肌はんぱねえ！

[@DemiNintendoSun]

Wicked. That's all that should be said. Wished I had a 3DS now.

[@lesbianbitchization]

ok, this was piss me off, why would the game show chrom and sumia together in the opening while chrom could marry 4 other people? should have kept it a mystery.

[@shadowofchaos725]

Because they wanted to? You need to understand the difference between east and west here. Hinting at a canon pairing is something they prefer in Japan, no matter how vocal a minority may seem. In the west, it is the preference of choice. This game was developed in Japan. Deal with it. It's like one in a Dragon Quest game... where there was the choice between two girls for the main character, and one was the more "canon" choice. However, at least Awakening doesn't take it to the level that said game took the "developer's choice". If you chose the canon girl, the other one would still live a happy life. If you chose the other girl over the "canon" one, the canon girl would work in horrible conditions, implied to be assaulted every day, and her grandfather, her only relative left, would die of illness.

[@Red-S-267]

Did you know it was Sumia when you first saw it? I mean it's fast and doesn't give a very good look at anything other than Chrom and a baby. I mean you realize it now but that could be brown haired Suzie or something. Though I guess your opinion is fine as well.

[@lesbianbitchization]

***** Look at the hair style and you'll know.

[@Red-S-267]

Wesley Hsu Okay I see it now.

[@finnzee2006]

shadowofchaos725 I disagree. Since the Avatar can be customized, there's no fixed appearance for her/him. That's probably why they opt to use fixed characters for the animations.

[@doubleflores8350]

1:24 yeah this right here proves that Sumia is chrom’s canon wife. In other words, GET OVER CHROBIN SHIPPERS!!! That ship is way too cliche’d… unless it involves male Robin, then I might get on board with it. Other than that, Chromia all the way!!!
