	Dragon twins Nel and Nil pray for aid in reclaiming the seven Emblem Bracelets. With the help of the Four Winds, the party defeats the armies of these parallel versions of Firene, Brodia, Elusia, and Solm and takes their bracelets. Nel reveals that all of the armies and royals they've encountered were actually Corrupted, their living selves long dead. A suddenly hostile Nil takes the bracelets collected so far. The group follows him to an alternate version of the Somniel that has fallen from the sky. Nil, driven insane by a corrupted dragonstone of Sombron's, demands Alear use their power to break the seal on the final bracelet by threatening Nel's life. Alear cooperates and Nil obtains the ultimate power of the seven bracelets, transforming him into a powerful fell dragon form. Nel, Alear, and the Four Winds battle and defeat Nil.

	After the battle, Nil reveals that his real name is Rafal and that the original Nil, Nel's ~~brother~~, died in the war a thousand years prior. Rafal had taken the role at the original Nil's request. Nel stabs herself in the stomach with her blade. Nil is overcome with grief and vows to spend the next thousand years reviving her. With no one left in their ruined version of Elyos, the Four Winds agree to accompany Alear back to their world, and are eventually followed by a revived Nel and the repentant Rafal.

Alear travels the land of Elyos gaining allies while fighting against the armies of the rival Kingdom of Elusia and Sombron's resurrected [[undead]] forces; the player controls and maneuvers Alear's army in these battles. One of the core parts of both the setting and the gameplay are twelve [[Magic ring\|magic rings]] that contain phantasmal copies of characters from previous ''Fire Emblem'' games. Characters wearing these "Emblem Rings" can "Engage" to gain vast power from summoning and merging with these phantoms. Both Alear and Sombron seek to gain control of the rings; possession of all twelve will allow a feat of immense magic to be performed.

	Intelligent Systems designed the game to have a fresh new art style, with colorful characters and 3D animation models, in comparison to earlier games in the series that would often show 2D still portraits for dialogue and other scenes. It was intended to be a [[heroic fantasy]] quest that followed a protagonist growing and maturing into a heroic role to save the world. As with previous ''Fire Emblem'' entries, the turn-based gameplay consists of maneuvering characters within an army across grid-based maps, who then battle foes.

EryZ: Undid revision 1246418983 by Sergecross73 (talk) I am happy to open a talk section on this, but the opening paragraph should be limited to the premise of the game, and the trimmed text is more than adequate in conveying that. Furthermore, the core gameplay mechanics are adequately described in the second paragraph.

The game follows Alear, a [[dragon]] in human form, who awakens from a thousand-year slumber and quickly becomes embroiled in a conflict with the forces of the Fell Dragon Sombron. Alear travels the land of Elyos gaining allies while fighting against the armies of the rival Kingdom of Elusia and Sombron's resurrected [[undead]] forces; the player controls and maneuvers Alear's army in these battles. One of the core parts of both the setting and the gameplay are twelve [[Magic ring\|magic rings]] that contain phantasmal copies of characters from previous ''Fire Emblem'' games. Characters wearing these "Emblem Rings" can "Engage" to gain vast power from summoning and merging with these phantoms. Both Alear and Sombron seek to gain control of the rings; possession of all twelve will allow a feat of immense magic to be performed.

	Intelligent Systems designed the game to have a fresh new art style, with colorful characters and 3D animation models, in comparison to earlier games in the series that would often show 2D still portraits for dialogue and other scenes. It was intended to be a [[heroic fantasy]] quest that followed a protagonist growing and maturing into a heroic role to save the world. As with previous ''Fire Emblem'' entries, the turn-based gameplay consists of maneuvering characters within an army across grid-based maps, who then battle foes.

EryZ: Three paragraphs is fine, however the plot in the lead is too long and detailed for that part of the article.

SnowFire: revert spacing change - double spaces & single spaces display identically, they aren't a problem to be fixed. some of the prose changes are fine but I don't really see the benefit in others - WP:LEDE suggests around 3 paragraphs for the lede for an article of this size, I don't think the first paragraph is unduly long or anything. "most recent" is inherently dated and unlikely to still be true in 5 years. Don't need a "however" here, it's already clearly a contrast.

	The [[fanservice]] in the game's callbacks to the past ''Fire Emblem'' heroes as Emblems also received mixed critical opinions. Brendan Graeber of ''[[IGN]]'' admired the result and the reverence ''Engage'' showed for previous ''Fire Emblem'' characters,<ref name="IGNreview" /> while others thought that the Emblems took away limited screen time from the human characters.<ref name="GamesRadar+" /> Ash Parrish of ''[[The Verge]]'' criticized the support conversations between characters and Emblems; rather than letting the player learn more about heroes of earlier ''Fire Emblem'' games, the conversations were instead shallow, short, and uninteresting.
