I don't suppose any goons in Sault Ste. Marie would know if they broke the street date there?

EBGames Canada announced it was on sale today.

The question is if they got their stock yet, not if they're selling it.

(Why hasn't there been a Mage Triangle Attack)

There were some enemy mages in FE4 that had a triangle attack. Their AI made them always attempt to perform the triangle attack even if it meant attacking your Ichival wielder at two range :downs:

For the FE5 gaidens

2x: Save every village in chapter 2
4x: Save all the civilians in chapter 4 I think, maybe also do it in chapter 3?
8x: Keep Dagda and Tania alive and complete chapter 8 in a certain amount of turns? It's nothing difficult though
14x: Visit four of the houses that don't give you anything for entering them
22x or 23x or whatever: Have one person captured over the course of the game
24x: Have the destoning staff (whatever that's called)

There's probably one more in there somewhere, this is entirely from memory

There's also 11x and 12x. Both have turn requirements and you want to capture the boss on 12 to get him as a character (warping a guy over to neutralize and his goddamn sleep staff on turn 1 isn't a bad idea either).

There are a ridiculous number of things it can say and they vary depending on relationships as well.

If you check two characters who are married the game talks about how it looks like an affair might be about to start.

It's from Old Man Hubba, the fortune teller. It's a silly little thing where you pair up two units and then a random thing is said about them. Has no bearing on actual plot or characters.

I really wish that I had read this thread first, didn't realize it was coming out so soon and ran off to gamestop only to be turned away. It was somewhat funny though as I had all 3 employees on computers all trying to find a "back way" to preorder

Picked up my copy, which was the final one for sale that wasn't a preorder.

And now I have some money on my account that I can just use for whatever I want, since I had planned on downloading it at midnight on the 4th.

Same boat for me. I had $40(+, stupid tax) loaded onto my account ready to go.

The fact that they made an official announcement says that this is probably being a pretty big seller.

Right, but this is supposed to be their launch day stock so it's still a small order.

It is just Canada though. Game sales aren't exactly spectacular here.

Nah, I got it just fine, the store I went to had like 10 copies. Not sure how many were pre-orders, but it was fine.

Also, my first level of the game? +1 HP. Welcome back, Fire Emblem :allears:

I've only just got to content outside the demo, and I got to say, Fredrick owns. Best Jeigan ever.

e: How does support build up? Is it GBA style stand next to each other forever, or PoR style deploy both units? I am lost and confused without SerenesForest. Although I'm kinda glad it's down, because I actually have no choice but to wing it. No compulsive growth rate checking for me!

Neither, they have to participate in battles near each other either by Doubling, or standing next to each other, or healing.

Neither. The pair up system comes big into play, but you also get support for fighting side-by-side (not standing next to eachother, being engaged in battle while side-by-side) and healing. You see the big hearts that flash up sometimes? That's the game telling you when you get support points.

Use them in dual supports/pair ups.

It's closer to GBA style, but unlike all previous games, it now actually gives a visual indication of when you're getting support points.
