Act 1: Ram Village

Summary: Act 1 picks up years after Celica was taken away from Ram Village, as the War of the Valentia is in full bloom. The Deliverance, on of the groups trying to restore peace to the land, seek to recruit Alm as a member of their team. Eventually, as he continues to lead his new friends in battle, Alm will quickly find himself has the new leader of the Deliverance.

Instead of jumping right into battle as Act 1 begins, the story will partially begin with a visual novel-style exploration of Ram Village. This is where Alm and Celica first met, and it was also the place the two were raised together for a short time. While exploring the village, players can talk to many of the villagers, as well as find and collect a number of different items.

Advice: Always talk to everyone in every town, and search every location given to you thoroughly for items. This is what most players do in many other video games, but it's a must if you want to succeed in Fire Emblem Echoes.
