  "summary": "Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave can be cleared by playing just one route, but playing a second route is recommended before tackling the final campaign against Balor. According to Polygon, clearing a second route is faster and slightly less grueling than the first route, and it provides more opportunities to recruit characters, which are needed for the final battle.\n\nPlaying multiple routes allows for more character recruitment, which is beneficial for the final battle. Polygon notes that this can make the game easier.\n\nThe game has a final campaign against Balor that players must complete. Polygon mentions that players can clear the whole game by playing just one route, but recommends playing at least two routes before the final campaign.",
