Fire Emblem: Awakening Trailer & Character Profiles

About a month away from its release, Nintendo of America is really starting to get the ball rolling for Fire Emblem: Awakening with releasing a very short, but very sweet trailer.

Back in early December, Nintendo of America started to do something a bit more unique with introducing the games central characters. They’re revealing each character each week on the Nintendo 3DS’ Facebook page. So far, four characters have been introduced – Chrom, Frederick, Lisa, and Marth.

The prince of Ylisse and descendant of the Hero-King, Chrom leads a band of soldiers called Shepherds to defend the borders of his kingdom.

Chrom’s lieutenant, Frederick. Frederick is a Ylissean knight who is sincere to a fault. He demands tremendous effort from the other Shepherds who fight alongside him to defend the borders of Ylisse.

Chrom’s tomboyish little sister, Lissa, joins the Shepherds and fights alongside her brother to defend Ylisse from Plegian bandits.

Appearing in Fire Emblem Awakening as a masked knight, Marth carries the legendary Falchion sword and appears out of nowhere to save Chrom and the other Shepherds.

Fire Emblem: Awakening will be released in North America on February 4th, while the PAL region is scheduled to release in the Summer.
