Three years have passed since Crimea fought Daein in the Mad King’s War and both countries are still in the middle of rebuilding. However at Daein, the citizens are oppressed by the Begnion occupational army and live their lives in despair. Micaiah, a mysterious silver-haired girl and member of the Dawn Brigade, appears to help the Daein citizens. She is considered a saviour by the citizens, and eventually goes on to liberate Daein and return power to the royal family, which was thought to be destroyed. However Micaiah’s tale is only the beginning of a great war that is set to engulf the whole continent.<\/p>\n
Path of Radiance<\/em> left off with many mysteries, such as what Ike’s next trial would be and the identity of the Black Knight. However, Radiant Dawn<\/em>, which is a direct sequel, is set to resolve them all and provide an enjoyable strategy RPG experience at the same time. Although developed for the Wii, no Wii-specific features are implemented, but this means that Fire Emblem<\/em> has kept straight to its roots.<\/p>\n The storyline and setting of Path of Radiance<\/em> is continued in this game, as a new war threatens the continent of Tellius. As such, don’t be surprised to see a couple of old faces, although there are plenty of new ones as well. Like all good sequels, no knowledge of the previous game is required, but any knowledge is a bonus. If you own a copy of Path of Radiance<\/em> though, there are a few bonuses that you can obtain via the Data Transfer<\/em>. <\/p>\n The gameplay hasn’t changed radically since Path of Radiance<\/em>, but there are plenty of minor changes and improvements. The chapter count has risen to 43, making this the longest Fire Emblem<\/em> game yet. New factors, such as height, help to spice up the gameplay. The graphics, such as those of the character models, have been improved, and the battle animations are much smoother. The game also runs at a slightly faster pace compared to previously.<\/p>\n Cleared Path of Radiance <\/em>save data, stored on a GameCube memory card, can used to award a fixed stat boost to returning characters, as well as raise their weapon levels. Also Support conversations, unlocked in Path of Radiance<\/em>, can viewed in a Support library, which is helpful as a Support viewer was missing in the previous game.<\/p>\nFeatures and Changes<\/h2>\n
