That's a pretty big drop from FE8 being closer to 900,000. I'm not here to bring doom and gloom, but I do have to acknowledge every mistake this game made and this was the biggest sin especially with how connected the two stories are.Įdited Note: So I went back and RD sold just under half a million which isn't too bad coming off of PoR's 600,000 copies. I don't really blame them for milking on Awakening for Fates when death was knocking on their door. A lot of people hate on Awakening and the direction FE is taking not realizing the route they were was going to bring their demise. FE11 and FE12 didn't do much better but they sold at least more than Radiant Dawn when they needed to make a new game to bounce back over remakes. This was one of the biggest mistakes they made with the game and it caused the game to bomb in sales. Fortunately the Wii was backwards compatible which solved one issue, but there would be many newcomers who wouldn't be able to find Path of Radiance being first introduced in Smash. One of the biggest issues with these games is that they are rare and at the time, they both were on different consoles. And while you don't need to play Path of Radiance, it is highly recommended as many of the old plot elements are tied in and answered in the sequel. It's kind of like FE1 and FE3 where the second game takes place a few years after the first. So Radiant Dawn is an odd duck when it comes to how it works. So let's dive in and for those who haven't played the game you are in for a treat. And if you thought Fates brought bad ideas, Radiant Dawn has some "what the hell were you thinking moments." It's a good game worth picking up, but it is a mess. Though over time this one suddenly became a classic and well recieved and often gets praised being the second half of the Tellius games. There is a lot to talk about why this game was a failure and why fans pretty much hated it when it came out. There's a lot of good ideas that have come and while it would be cool to see them, I feel like it would sell horribly to today's market. This is the game that nearly killed the franchise and they should never do something like this ever again. I'm not going to sugar coat anything despite Radiant Dawn being my favorite game in the series and pretty much my favorite Wii game. So you've probably heard people rave about Tellius and how much they love it. Grab a chair because this is going to be a long one. Fire Emblem Radiant Dawn Review and Retrospect
