What the battle footage doesn’t show is that Fire Emblem: Awakening also has a bunch of options for camera control and/or speeding up battles. One of these is the ability to use a first-person camera while battling.

Fire Emblem: Awakening will be released on February 4th in the U.S. and Europe will get the game in April. A Nintendo 3DS hardware bundle that has the game pre-installed will be available for $200.
