We’d love to have a review of Fire Emblem: Awakening ready for you, but the game’s length, depth, and punishing challenge has prevented our own Jeremy Parish from finishing his duties in an unreasonably timely fashion. But since we didn’t want to leave you hanging, Jeremy and I recently sat down to play through a bit of the latest installment of Intelligent System’s long-running RPG series in an attempt to explain the charms of Fire Emblem to a curious audience. Enjoy, and try not to stare at the characters’ strange horse-feet — it makes them self-conscious.
