Finished Fire Emblem: Awakening (ending spoilers)

Went for the ending where MC kills off Grima for good. Supposedly at the expense of her own life, but she survives just fine. The final boss was a bit of a joke, though she still managed to wipe out both Maribelle and Morgan when they got too close. This marks the first time I […]

Fire Emblem: Awakening – Akira Toriyama called. He wants his story back.

I liked it enough that I even bought the series after watching it for free on Funimation’s youtube channel. So despite my misgivings about anime spin-off games, […]
