I suppose I'll play the lame peace loving kingdom side at some point but the Nohr side sounds way more interesting.

oh well also this but, you know, the wisest thing my mother ever taught me is that everyone likes bazongas, and I am proud to uphold this piece of advice

Hello? Can you hear me? ...Perhaps if I shout? AAAAAAAAAH!
I have to assume they're going to either reduce the price or package it as an ultimate edition if they're planning on releasing it in the Summer, and not having it in the states for another half-year.

Thanks for the input, Jeff.
I'm bitter because 'sometime in 2016' is a pretty significant delay between the two releases and I wonder if it's because of this weird gouging of Japanese consumers.

But since they still don't have a real title for the NA version or VA for the Direct I'm guessing not.

I wonder if that dumb Alpha/Omega "bundle" sold so well that they figured hardcores are high enough to do this. Consider that Nintendo's ultimatum was only 250k units sold for Awakening, they're probably estimating it right.

Hoshido: Swordmaster, Pegasus Knight, Archer and Cleric.

Nohr: Paladin, Dark Mage, (female) Fighter and Cleric.

Lol, is this even an option.

Redhead sister facts:
-Most boring design possible
-Retarded moeblob
-Probably some lovely healing base-class for fuckers
-Just obviously bad, objectively, do I need to say more

Drillhair sister facts:
-Has drillhair
-Clearly competent
-Probably a cool, awesome caster class that'll definitely be overpowered
-Comes as 2-pack with busty axe-lady

I'm just saying here.

Both sisters have staves, so they're probably both healers.

Hoshido becomes Sage, Nohr becomes War Cleric. Reiterating, is this even an option

Maybe she's the female equivalent of a fighter, in which case I guess that outfit is only fair :v:

As long as war clerics still exist this is acceptable.

I am angry that they are going to split this game into two. Because even if they combine them for the American release I bet Europe will still have to buy them separately. :(

Also, I hope this time being a female Lord doesn't lock you out of getting the best character in the game.

Same. I like pair up, but getting like +7 to +9 to all your stats by the end of the game just makes it kinda unfair.

They say it will be different from the regular experience but I will be shocked if it doesn't end with your typical "the truth was in the middle!" garbage. As long as it has good character writing like Awakening did I'll still enjoy it though.

Hopefully there will also be some incentive to not have your entire army paired up all the time. In Awakening half the team just ends up latching onto their partner like a lamprey.

Actually they should just make Pair up the default and make it so that you deploy pairs.

Ehh, even if the actual finale stuff is the same they made it sound like the bulk of the story would be about either fighting off invaders as Hokaido or reforming and stamping out corruption in Nohr which'll have dramatically different chapters and that's what's really gonna be important. That kinda thing works really well in Super Robot Wars and IS could easily pull it off too

They know a large part of the kind of audience in Japan that bought Awakening ain't gonna make that much of a fuss when all is said and done about the two separate games. A bunch of zero star reviews on the Japanese Amazon store will come flooding in sure but they'll still probably be a cavalcade of that particular brand of fan they managed to cultivate with Awakening especially that will end up buying both versions of the game.
