It’s probably because of what I mentioned in the previous paragraph - without relationships, side missions like paralogues are gone and the game focuses more on getting you to from end of the map to the other with a few pit stops here and there to recruit people and collect treasures. It took me around 20 hours to complete the game, which I felt was the right amount of time, though others could argue it’s maybe on the short side. Plus, characters still manage to have some interesting conversations and make you feel like they’re forging connections well, so it isn’t a total loss.Įchoes feels like a more streamlined version of the previous two Fire Emblem games on the 3DS. It doesn’t detract much from the overall experience as this works in the same way as the DS or GBA games. But while it’s included, the option to marry or have kids isn’t there, making the experience feel a bit shallow, especially compared to other 3DS Fire Emblem titles. This was actually an added feature as the feature wasn’t in the original Famicom game.
One of the downsides of the game’s story is the scale-back of the support conversations. This works really well, especially since Echoes is one of the text-heavier titles in recent memory. You can press X to watch scenes unfold without having to press the button repeatedly to move the story along.

One of the neater additions in terms of presentation is, for the first time in the series, Echoes has full voice acting - heck, even the random NPCs you talk to, like townspeople and peddlers, speak to you. It’s not too different than most Fire Emblem games, exploring themes like betrayal, redemption and so on. The main protagonists of the game are Alm and Celica, both of noble blood, whose ultimate goal is to secure and reunite their kingdom.
