Maybe a good in-between is a mode that let you keep units that died, but with some kind of stat penalty that lasted the entire game. Maybe have some super rare item that reduces the penalty so the unit doesn't become absolutely useless later in the game.

Do your dudes give you an option to change you avatar sometimes like in FE 12? Like, do they say hey [avatar] want me to give you a mullet? and your avatar's portrait changes.




Aww that was a pretty cool little thing in the last one.
VVVV

I kinda regret playing the demo, It's making it way to hard to go back to FE12. Everything but the portraits just looks so bad.

Is anyone planning to turn in their 3DS for gamestop's double-credit thing?



FYI they're only going to give you $70 even with the double credit.

I pre-ordered a month ago and for me it says February 6th and i'm not getting any warnings. Odd.



I placed my order at the beginning of the month and it still says the 6th for me too.

If Nintendo breaks the street date for the US I would totally cancel my amazon order and use their lovely eshop.

It needs to be animated somehow, but I have no talent for that. I'd say first show the chance to hit/crit, then show the merc doing the taunt, then show a high speed unit that normally would have an excellent chance to dodge or otherwise survive a regular hit.

After reading this thread I ran down to the Gamestop I have Awakening reserved at, knowing it wouldn't be in. The worker I talked to confirmed that the game is no longer on their "Coming Soon" listing on their registers so it's open season. Basically it could be in my hands RIGHT NOW if they'd even received the game. :sigh:



In the US?


Goddamn this is the one game that's going to make me go to a gamestop for the first time in like, a year.

Heads up, US Goons (the few of you who don't have it already :argh:) - I just received an e-mail from Best Buy this morning saying that the Awakening release date was changed to today. I received a "your preorder is ready for pickup" e-mail shortly after that, so there's a good chance your local Best Buy might already have copies for sale.



Post if they let you pick it up, the website is still saying the 4th for me.

No one's positive but it does seem that the first print run is at least selling extremely well and is possibly sold out. Some stores say they'll have more than pre-orders, some say they don't even have enough to cover pre-orders.

Fortunately it'll be available day 1 on the eShop.




Wha.. how does this happen? Isn't this the main reason they give to convince you to give them your money in advance? :psyduck:

I already canceled my amazon order beacuse I don't want to wait 3 more days.

You'd need $50 because the eshop only lets you add funds in intervals of $10/20/50/100.



I think they only take the retail amount if you just try to buy it directly. I bought crimson shroud when it came out and only paid the $14.99

8500 blocks, so around 1.5GB.

And... people haven't gotten a nice, fat 16GB SD card for their 3DS? :psyduck: They cost less than $20 if you know where to look. Storage is one of the 3DS' best features because it uses a very standard, cheap format! If anything I want more digital releases because I can put FE:A on this card ten times over and still have plenty of room left!




Can I just say how loving stupid blocks are now?



[e] I have the default 2 gb because I was literally never going to buy anything on the eshop until a month ago.

Can you use a say a $25 3DS points card and then use a credit card to pay for the rest of it?



I'm pretty sure it'll just charge you the difference once it sees you don't have enough in your wallet on checkout.

So I've never played a Fire Emblem game before but I picked this one up since the series was always interesting to me. Is making my asset Skill and flaw Resistance a horrible idea?



This is what I did and my dude came out ok since you can get a couple res boosting items. I kinda regretted picking skill since I thought that was what determined how many attacks you got but the avatar and his kid getting to activate their killer skills almost every battle more than makes up for it.

Try a Dark Mage/Sorcerer Avatar!

I literally couldn't take a few of the big reveals seriously near the end of the game because the outfit is so silly.

Seriously, in what world dooes a body stocking/loincloth combo with a full and flamboyant cape look cool or like a good idea?



Dark Knight is also great beacuse he gets a collar that's double the height of his head.
