Fire Emblem: Awakening

How does the DLC fit into the story then? If you buy it can you play it at any time or does it get unlocked when you reach a certain part of the game? Do your characters level up by playing the DLC maps?

I'm trying to clear my backlog a bit before devoting my full attention to FE and in the meantime I plan to pick up all the DLC as and when they get released ready for when I tackle the main game. I can't decide whether to start the main game and play through any DLC maps as and when they're released, or play through once without the DLC and start a new game   while tackling the additional maps.

The DLC area, called the Outrealm Gate, opens up in the south of the map, after you finish chapter 4.

There you can either download the first map for free, or buy the pack of 3 maps for the discounted price of £2.99.

Only the first map is available just now, Champions of Yore 1, and the other 2 so far, come at a later date..I'm sure it's bi-weekly or weekly, can't remember.

They aren't part of the main story, but they do come with their own story/map, so you can go and grind to your hearts content, but when you complete it, you get a card, and someone will join your team as a playable character.

I'm sure there will be free Spotpass maps too, as the US had had a few of those, so hopefully we get them too.

Be prepared to weep like a grown man when you lose a valued member. I held a service for my fallen archer last night. My wife held me for a good 5 mins. Lol

Yeah it's bad when you lose a valued team member!  If I lost Virion now I would be gutted!  He uses the Wolt's Bow and just picks off enemies at will!

Well thanks a lot fellas. After reading this thread I am heading out tomorrow to spend more money that I can't really afford on a game I had no intention of buying 2 hours ago.

I am sure my missus will understand.
