Yeah, Intsys makes Fire Emblem and AW. There's also a casual mode in Awakening where character's don't die permanently.

I do the majority of my handheld gaming at home. And if I do bring it with me, it's normally to play on the bus to the university, so I can store it in my backpack.

I just upgraded to an XL, it's pretty great so far. Just wondering, they fixed the problem where the bezel on the bottom screen would scratch the top, right? I'll probably spring for screen protectors eventually, but I want to make sure I don't have to stick a cloth between the screens until then.

How do I apply the Hori screen protectors to my XL? I'm a huge incompetent, and screwed it up once already.

I've got a dumb question about how streetpass works. Do you have the actually be playing a game to send out and receive streetpass content for said game, or will it send it out if you're playing a different game too? I ask because I want to know if my min-maxed Awakening streetpass team will still be sent out to people if I play Etrian Odyssey for a while.

Terraplane posted:I'm going to buy a 3DS pretty soon, and I have an idea what 3DS games I want to get for it. But what are some good DS games that I should pick up? I played a ton of them after the DS Lite came out but then sort of tapered off. Anything that came out during the DSi's life cycle I probably missed. I really liked the Ace Attorney series, TWEWY, Trauma Center, and Hotel Dusk, anything like that that I should check out? Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective.

noirstronaut posted:I'm still a bit interested in this translation thing. How would Atlus (or however translated it) know that their translation was ripped off? Would it be small things like the translation saying "You're smelly!" instead of a literal translation that says "You smell bad!" Translation is a pretty subjective thing. There's plenty of small differences possible in how you can translate something, and plenty of small differences in how you can phrase the same idea. If the translation was word for word, there's no argument that could possibly be made that they didn't use the same translation.

Soul Glo posted:Continuing SRPG chat, I hit the first difficulty spike in Fire Emblem. First fight with Ricken (the wind magicky duder). These types of games are still kiiiiind of new to me, but I'm enjoying it. Still not quite sure what I'm doing (I guess MT is a weapons strength? What's that even stand for? A tip for that map: If you do the paralogue that opens directly beforehand, you'll get a rescue staff in one of the chests. Rescue lets you move a distant character (and their pair-up partner) to a space adjacent to the caster, which lets you bail Maribelle and Ricken out of trouble immediately. e: Oh, hey, this isn't the Awakening thread.

), and I won't go too deep into it in this thread since there is a dedicated FE thread, but it is a good game.

Soul Hackers is huge, because it's got full voice acting. It's well over twice the size of Fire Emblem and EO4. So yeah, it's far from the norm. That said, the default SD cards are pretty tiny, so it might be worth just buying a 32 or 64 GB one.

EO4 or Fire Emblem. Soul Hackers is kinda fun, but fairly dated, and EO4 is definitely the better dungeon crawler. Personally, Fire Emblem is more to my tastes, but that's me. e: Or just get all three!

BadAstronaut posted:Ah OK cool. I'm really gonna buy this one. Very much enjoyed what little I played of it so far. One playthrough is around 20-30 hours, more if you do absolutely everything, and there's a fair bit of post game content through DLC. It's also pretty replayable, since you get more characters then you can really use in a single playthrough.

Anime is a cool thing for cool people, and so is Fire Emblem. Don't fight it. e: For fear of this post dissuading people from playing Fire Emblem, I'll elaborate and say the localization is terrific. I'd compare it to Persona 4, anime as hell, but great anyway. Cake Attack fucked around with this message at 22:27 on May 9, 2013 |

BadAstronaut posted:Those of you familiar with the games - which is a better experience: Final Fantasy III remake on Android/iOS or Final Fantasy IV remake on DS? If the FFIII remake is the same as the DS remake, it's pretty bad, don't get it. FFIV DS is a mixed bag. There's a lot of stupid stuff you'll miss without a guide (Augments), but the game is actually challenging and rewards using status effects and such. Except the challenge is wonky, and some encounters are just way too strong and can wipe you from go if they so choose.

Ularg posted:Also, one other thing when reading over the first page, I think the OP mentioned that the XL version doesn't come with a charger? Did I read that completely wrong? I'm pretty much locked into the XL because of my bigger hands and Amazon isn't really clear on what it comes with. And lastly, the only thing I have left to ask of you guys is if there is a deal going on somewhere for any 3DS games or the system? I'm more than likely just going to go out sometime tomorrow or the next day and buy it from a Gamestop or other game store so I can have it in my hands right then to use. PAL 3DSs don't come with a charger, but NA 3DSs do.

The mainline SMT series is pure dungeon crawler. No social links or anything. The Battle System is similar to that of Persona, and the dungeon crawling is better realized since it's the entire focus of the game.

I haven't played it, but if it's anything like every other mainline SMT game, it's much sparser then Persona 4 and Devil Survivor.

DoctorOfLawls posted:So I just played through 999 for the first time and was really captured by the entire story... only to suddenly get a bad ending. Unfortunately yes, but you can do them really quickly once you already know how to solve them. There also aren't any flags that I can recall, by that I mean you can solve puzzles even if the game hasn't given you the information you need (a code, for example). Virtue's Last Reward fixes this.

There's 8, and the Water Temple is a great dungeon in the 3DS version since you don't need to go into the menu to equip/unequip the iron boots.

Ursine Asylum posted:Given that Awakening's sales are sitting at just over a million worldwide (and handily beat out the ultimatum of a quarter million to keep the series going), and DoR is sitting at 508,000 copies sold as well (which, as mentioned, beats out DS's 360,000), I'm not too sure what you're trying to say here. He meant in the sense that the future of the franchise was resting on it, i.e, if it unperformed Fire Emblem would have been discontinued. The difference is that while Awakening did gangbusters, Days of Ruin did not.

It's Sting's most Sting-like game. The closest thing possible to a description is that it's half bullet hell, half bizarre pseudo SRPG. It's pretty good.
