The Art of Fire Emblem : Awakening

This is a very good book. It mostly includes images and interesting commentary on them, plus the extra of all the support conversations. Seeing the process of designing the characters, their clothes or a particular image is wonderful and it is definitely a must have, coffee-table style, for any fans of the game.

This is not simply an art book, but an incredibly extensive collection of art, dialogue, and information from Fire Emblem: Awakening. Spanning 320 pages, I'll create a list here of everything it covers (wall of text incoming!):Illustrations/Images:-Playable Characters--Even a few characters that aren't originally from Awakening-Marketing images and posters-Story events-Character marriage proposals-Cutscene storyboards-Official website backgrounds-Character (Einherjar) cardsConcept Art:-Characters-Classes-WeaponsCharacter Dialogue (Full lists of text!):-In the barracks, or when finding a shiny on a map-Shopping dialogue-Conversation dialogue that happens at the start of missions (only partial conversations)-Level up dialogue-Class change dialogue-Retreat and death dialogue-Every single support conversation (still takes up 100 pages of the book at font size 2!)Character profiles:-Character art-Voice actor name-Birthday-Epilogue text--Historical records--Married text recordsPlayer Poll (results from a poll in 2012 by 700 fans):-E.g. favourite characters (RIP Walhart), favourite phrase, favourite married couple etc.-Little comic strips based on the game--NOTE: These have to be read from right to left. Even though they have been translated into English, the strips were made in Japan, where the dominant way of reading is from right to left.Glossary of Lore TermsFull Game Credits listAnd that's about it! - Holy heck that's a lot! But as you can see, it is a lot more than simply art and images.I highly recommend this book to anyone that is a fan of Fire Emblem, and I can only hope that they bring out another art book for Fates as well!Take a look at the images (complete with a banana for scale) for a few examples from the book.

Really amazing quality hardback art book. Absolutely full of promo art and concept sketches, and includes transcriptions of almost all of the character dialogue in the game (about a third of the book). The quality of the book is incredible, it's way heavier than I imagined it would be, and even the cover has a wonderful tactile quality that makes you want to pick it up.Perfect for Fire Emblem Awakening fans.

Fire Emblem: Awakening is one of the most beautiful games I have played on any nintendo device and the art book does not disappoint.The character and world art is fantastic to see in greater detail with some lovely design and story tidbits; overall the item was well worth the purchase.The delivery was fast and the item arrived in perfect condition.

I've started playing FE Awakening recently and I'm in love with the art and game, and as a games art student I had to purchase this. The art is absolutely gorgeous, and it's a suoer chonky book. Would highly recommend it if you study concept art.

Fantastic art book from a fantastic game! Over 300 pages, and hard back, featuring art of every single character, and complete logs of level-up quotes, death quotes, all possible endings for each character, all the Einherjar art cards, and every single possible branch of support conversations. It's an incredible translation job by Dark Horse. Personally, I wish there was slightly more art of unused concepts, but that's a very minor gripe. If you love Fire Emblem: Awakening, and want to see more of its beautiful art on paper, buy this book!

Brought as a present for a friend and was very tempted to keep it! Beautiful art, clear pictures and a nice insight into the development of the game.

It's actually quite a large book, but it's a great look at the creative process behind the game, and if you loved the game as much as I did, it's well worth it.
