Awakening Emotions
It can be difficult to keep who has what emotions available straight. While the editor’s syntax highlighting will ensure that you know if you’re trying to use something that isn’t available for a given character, that doesn’t help you if you don’t know what the options are in the first place!
Every character, with the exception of some bosses and generic enemies, has the standard set of emotions:
- Angry
- Pain
- Posed
- Smiling
- Standard
That’s easy enough! The problem comes in with the specialized emotions, which are often unique to a small group of characters — or even a single character!
Here’s Awakening’s full list of special emotions and characters for which they can be used:
