Awakening is overall a decent game.
Negatives
-Most of the maps are giant rectangles, and feel uninspired.
-There are only two types of battles, route the enemy, and defeat the boss.
-Normal and Hard mode(s) provide no challenge (even to newcomers)
-Plot is pretty dull for the vast majority of the time
-Difficulty curve from Hard to Lunatic is rediculous
Positives
-Character Supports are very interesting
-High amounts of character development (through supports)
-Plenty of ways to level up if you are stuck
-Beautiful Cut-scenes
-A lot of post game content available free (via spotpass)
-Paid DLC to give additional challenges
-Great Soundtrack
-Ability to turn permadeath off (I keep it on, but if you worry about losing units forever it is great)

It is a good game overall. A lot of DLC maps exist, so it's hard to specify on all. DLC can include but is not limited to-
-Additional challenges
-2 classes unavailable through regular play
-skills to break the game even more :I
-Maps for character development
-Fan service maps
-Maps for extra money
-Maps for grinding levels
-Maps to get weapons
DLC is pretty great.

I too, have played the Sacred Stones, I'd say that Awakening is one of the better installments of this
series from what I, in my own experience, have played. It is a fun strategy game, and one of the better
games on the 3DS system.
Just remember when choosing difficulty-
Thanks for all of this info good sir.
Normal=Baby
Hard=Normal
Lunatic=Kill Yourself
+Lunatic=Bellyslide down a cheese-grader into a pool of boiling lemon juice, THEN kill yourself
LMAO that sounds fun. A option to choose perma-death is interesting. As for Awakening I can't wait to for Christmas to come so I can play the game already cause I've been busy hella for a good while now.
Also why is FE; Path of Radiance is soo damn expensive? All the times I find a good deal on it IRL I dont have the money and every other time someone is charging for the game hella. Same with FE; Shadow Dragons in my experience.
