War is caused by a failure to communicate. When the lines of diplomacy and tact fail, only the sword remains.

In this new video Siliconera found for Intelligent Systems' Fire Emblem: Goddess of Dawn, we've got the protagonists going head-to-head against a bunch of guards in their very first battle. You'll get to see them swing their weapons, cast holy magic, and fire arrows at the enemy. The vid's a bit long at eight minutes, but there's some exposition at the end, which is admittedly Japanese.

Still, it's worth a look, right? Enjoy the video, alright?
