Throughout your time in Fire Emblem Engage, the 16th game in Nintendo’s long-running tactical RPG, you’ll want to forge relationships with many characters as is usually the focus of the Fire Emblem games. There are many new characters and some returning fan favourites, and with romance being an option again, building those relationships is key to progressing in these additional quests. The previous game, Fire Emblem: Three Houses introduced dates and gift giving, which has return for Fire Emblem Engage. There are new gifts and new recipients available.
All characters have individual traits, likes and dislikes and players will discover each character’s preferences as they play through the huge 45-to-60-hour campaign. If you’re looking to deepen your relationships and bonds with the many characters around Fire Emblem Engage, here is a full guide on where to find gifts and each character’s preferences, separated by in-game region.
Gift Responses
Gifting characters is an important part of strengthening relationships and pursuing in-game romances if that’s what you’re seeking to do in Fire Emblem Engage. Each character will offer one of four responses to receiving a gift. They will either be delighted, happy, upset or refuse your gift entirely. Either of the first two is a positive response and will contribute to strengthening your relationship with them. Offering one of the NPC’s least favourite gifts will result in a refusal. The only way to get an upset response is to gift them horse manure. This is understandable.
Where To Find Gifts
Gifts in Fire Emblem Engage can be found by investigating the sparkling areas scattered around the world. Additionally, after unlocking the Flea Market in Chapter 12 some gifts can be purchased from here, but it has very limited stock so searching is the quickest way to uncover the gifts you seek the majority of the time. Unfortunately each sparkling point contains a random gift and cannot be pre-determined, so don’t hold back. There is a lack of story routes and revisiting old areas is not always possible, so if you see a sparkling area it’s best to investigate it sooner rather than later.
The Flea Market will restock random items every so often and the sparkling areas around Somniel will be replenished with new gifts, so it’s best to check regularly if there’s something specific you’re needing.
