The My Unit Features was widely popularized in both Fire Emblem Awakening and Fire Emblem Fates, allowing players to create a customized avatar to insert themselves fight into the story. Unfortunately, however, this does not make a return to Fire Emblem Echoes. Instead, Nintendo decided to go with the choice that made the most sense for this game in particular and keep the main characters and story consistent to that of Fire Emblem Gaiden. Fire Emblem Echoes continues with how Gaiden strengthened the emotional connection between the two lead characters, firmly establishing their roles in the world in which the game takes place.
