Who knew that Fire Emblem would be the best place to celebrate your birthday? Well, Alear’s birthday at least. The same goes for the rest of your companions you’ll meet along the way. But what exactly do birthdays do in Fire Emblem Engage? It’s all about the gifts, of course. We’ll explain everything about birthdays so that you’re ready to celebrate every year in the game.
Birthdays in Fire Emblem Engage
Birthdays are a time to celebrate, give gifts, and have fun, and that’s as true in Fire Emblem Engage as it is in real life. So, when you start up the game and choose which form of Alear you want, you will notice an area to type in a birthday. Now, this can be your birthday, a friend’s birthday, etc. In fact, you can choose any date you wish.
Some people select the birthdays to fall within days that they start Fire Emblem Engage. This is because they can reap the benefits of having a birthday in-game sooner. However, we don’t recommend doing that. Instead, set it for a good time away. By doing so, you will ensure you have met every character you need to meet.
This is because when it is Alear’s birthday, their companions will give them gifts if you speak with them. Essentially, you get free loot for your birthday. So, you will want to collect as many companions as possible to get as many gifts as possible.
Remember though: once you set your birthday, it’s permanent. So, be sure to set it on a date that you really want because you can’t change it later.

Birthdays are important for everyone in Fire Emblem Engage, not just Alear. The first birthday isn’t until February, so exactly what will happen is unclear until then. With that said, previous titles in the franchise give boosts to these characters on their birthdays. This can be an increase in their relationship with you or their ability in battle. So, be sure to check on your allies when the day comes.
