The DLC is over in Japan. The last DLC was released 4 months ago. Nothing as difficult as Apotheosis. Probably because the game has online multiplayer, so if you want to bash your head into overpowered units, just go online and bash heads with somebody else who spent way too much time grinding.

there's some mildly dumb writing where people do incredibly stupid things instead of just explaining what is going on, but the same can be said of literally every fire emblem ever released. and birthright actually has a decent plot because it's pretty straightforward and has sympathetic villains as a consequence of the route gimmick.

people acting like conquest's plot is the worst thing ever are just weirdos who expected a fire emblem game to have a plot that raised above 'i mean there were a couple of good moments and the characters were fun.'

When I heard about the route gimmick I thought immediately of Code Geass (the first season, anyway. Did not watch too much of R2, and from what I heard I didn't miss much). As such, I was not expecting too much. As long as the character writing is decent/fun (as it usually is with these games), I can deal with it.

We had this conversation months ago. There is no table-loving in Fates.

In the NA release: dick. You can only skinship with the person you already have an S rank with. Instead people will randomly show up in your room, say a line and then you get the bonus that the Japanese version would have required you to play the skinship game to get.

I know you can only rub your spouse's face now, but in the gamexplain vids there was still a heart counter for it and it was all "if you fill it up something new might happen" so idk.

Do you need an item to promote? Did you in Awakening?

Somehow I've forgotten and all I can remember is they changed the English versions of the Tellius games so you didn't which was kind of cool I guess?

They changed "Majinaishi" to "Diviner" but left it's promotion as "Onmyoji" as is when they could have translated it to "Excorcist."

Translating Onmyoji as Exorcist would be like translating Miko as Nun. There is no real English equivalent to Onmyoji, and Exorcist is not a particularly good translation.

You do, but it's the same item for everyone and after a certain point you can just buy them.

I thought that NOA had already shown off all the DLC Japan got and lablled it as map pack 1 or some poo poo. Doesn't that imply we're getting more DLC?

The two things aren't comparable at all. Beruka is trying to be a western name. Shigure is an actual japanese word, and very rare family name. It means drizzling rain. Azura was raised in Hoshido, so it makes sense she'd give her kid a Japanese name. And the meaning matches her name.

Well I guess I stand corrected. Shigure is a dumb sounding real Japanese name instead of a dumb sounding made up name. Sorry Japanese people named Shigure
