Fire Emblem Awakening - finished on Hard mode. Now this one has been a long time coming, but I finally decided to finish this game. I still haven't completed one optional mission, mission 25 where you have to beat a very large and strong enemy force with way more units than you reasonably might have at a level able to fight them, but my forces had leveled up enough by doing the other (free) optional missions and some random battles that it was a lot easier than when I last tried to beat the final battle some weeks back. FE Awakening is a great game, and I can see why it was such a hit! It's a return to form for this series after the missteps of the DS remakes, and while Awakening does have some flaws and doesn't look quite as great as the GBA games did (and the footless 3d models are weird...) it's a great and decently good-looking game that is easily among the better games on the 3DS. On Hard it's a classically tough challenge as you expect from a Fire Emblem game, and even if it took a while I had fun with the game throughout. There is some paid DLC I have not looked into, and that one more mission, and I'll try that I'm sure, but... well, the third 3DS FE game (the FE: Gaiden remake) releases soon and I still haven't gotten around to playing much of the last one, Fates, since I was still focused on Awakening, so maybe I'll try that next? I've heard it's not as good as Awakening, but I do want to play it regardless. But yeah, FE Awakening is a great game.
