Abnormal Mapping 74: Fire Emblem: Awakening

Abnormal Mapping is back with a special guest and a long-lived
game stricken from Em's backlog forever as Six Dettmar joins us
to talk about marriage, weapon triangles, permadeath and more as
we explore the strange turn of events that is Fire Emblem:
Awakening! With Jackson gone, we get deep in the weeds on fantasy
nonsense, anime tropes, and how sometimes what makes a game
popular is really hard to pin down. 


Six can be found co-hosting Novel Not New and on Scanline Media.
Ver twitter is @sixdettmar.


If you would like to guest on our Podcast or just generally
support the show please consider pledging to keep our lights on
and our bellies full on Patreon! Thank you to everyone who
continues to help us make shows at any level.


Abnormal Mapping can, as always, be found on
iTunes, Stitcher, and Google Play!
