Alright. Preordered my DS bundle from Gamestop today. Does getting the bundle count as preordering for purposes of getting the art book?

I don't see how they could possibly spin it as not, but it is Gamestop so who the gently caress knows?

I've been sitting here for 5 mins trying to think of a joke to make but I just realised the animators of Mass Effect already did it for me

Is anyone else posting videos of the demo? That lunatic playthrough was a lot of fun to watch and I'm itching to see more.

I wouldn't mind going on hibernation till the 4th really. I can literally beat Lunatic in my sleep right now in the demo, and it's stopped being exciting. :(

You think you can defeat ME, Ephraimcopter?!?

You couldn't even beat Assassincopter!!!
Ahahahaha SUPER LADLE BLOCK yesssssssss!

(I found a Ladle, which counts as an E-rank axe with 1 mt 80 hit 20 uses from one of the tiles in the prologue. I then stuck it on Frederick, because it's a bloody LADLE. And then Frederick blocked a hit for Avatar with a Ladle and I fell over laughing. THIS GAME GUYS.)

Also humorous to me is the last few voiced lines.
"You may call me Marth."
"Really?"
"No."

Regular Marth is an incredibly femmy dude. He even wears a tiara.

If they didn't call "Marth" a man, it'd just serve to confuse the SSB newcomers to the series even more. :v:

Here's the same dude doing a Normal run with commentary (without) He knows what he's doing, and has played the Japanese version and compares the scripts.
Here's SA poster Supergreatfriend who has no idea what he's doing, also on Normal.
Here's just a generally high quality runthrough of the hard mode, no commentary.

A little warning for those who will watch the one with commentary: You may want to skip the parts where Olivia shows up, or when he puts the focus on her. Other than that, I wholeheartedly recommend watching his LP.

I'm sort of surprised they were willing to show Marth without a mask in the ad. To my recollection, NoJ still hasn't shown that anywhere free (though maskless Marth is standing proud on the cover of the artbook).

I think they just stopped caring, honestly.

Granted considering how feminine Marth is, I could very nearly believe that being his new look.

It's funny they were trumping up "You're actions have consequences!" when this is the first game where perma death is optional.

Thanks for the input, Jeff.
It's one of those non-spoilers that raises more questions than it answers. It's more of a pull to find out who this character is and why they're impersonating Marth than it would be if their identity and motivations were laid flat on the table, or if their ability to impersonate Marth was actually plausible enough not to question.

To be fair, the pairing thing does tie into that, since the children characters are influenced heavily by the parents.

I got this title for free due to my proximity to an idiot who wanted to save $5 on an avatar by having someone else spend $9.95 instead.

Typical CIS privileged male comment there pal. Marth is obviously a transgendered woman, and discovered her identity after the events of Shadow Dragon.

The male parent doesn't matter at all though. They should have limited the MU Unit paring options so fathers supports could be unique.

No, the most important thing of all is the fact they can inherit good growths from Donny, which leads to things like Nn with a 98 Str growth.
