The options menu is pretty involved. Anyone know how many music tracks there are to pick from in the full game?

And yes I can turn off all non-battle animations at once. :allears:

Who cares about those losers? It's time to bring about Sethpocalypse 2013. This time... in 3D! :black101:

Please tell me that soloing the game with Seth is still a viable option in some fashion.

Literally all of them are built with the same options as you use to build your Avatar.

Odds are pretty good that a good 20+ old characters are going to be dead ringers for whatever Avatar you build except for maybe the hair color.

Now I just feel kind of disappointed. :(

How the hell do they not realize that "Marth" is a woman?

If they didn't call "Marth" a man, it'd just serve to confuse the SSB newcomers to the series even more. :v:

Lunatic and Insane probably has the smallest jump in difficulty. Insane just gives enemies special skills, some of which always activate.

It's possible Nintendo still street dated them in the US.

The shipments are different after all, since Canadian copies get bilingual packaging.

Really? I remember a few games I bought in the US having French and English on the box and in the manual (e.g., Trauma Team, Devil Survivor 2, P4G).

It might be an Atlus thing though.

Every time I've heard "the Japanese voice is less obvious about it" it ends up turning out being some Japanese woman trying too hard to do what she thinks is a manly or even boyish voice.

Could be they're trying to make the ambiguous gender thing plausible. Romi Park for instance is far more convincing with the dude voice with Edward Elric in FMA than she is with Naoto in P4.

Okay, the others are fine, but isn't Fala a northern God if memories saves me right? But yeah, that's not a big problem if a reference from an unreleased game is gone. However, Gerome is ridiculous. I mean the name is Jérome, so why change it to make it more "fantasy name"?

Jerome was some guy's name in FE7, iirc. Maybe they wanted to differentiate from that?

Are the chances for activating something rolled individually? If so, you'd calculate the chances of getting everything (by multiplying together all the probabilities) and subtract that from 1 to find the chance of getting something.

I'd just like to say that, at least going off the demo, normal mode is a babby mode that spawns way fewer enemies, cuts down on the amount of information you're fed and seems to lack the pairing system. It looks like Normal is Easy and Hard is Normal, at least by Fire Emblem standards.

You can still use the Pair Up thing if you turn off the tutorials in the options.

I want to say I've heard Normal starts to step it up around Chapter 7? Lots of folks are starting on Hard because it's more in line with the challenge they're used to in earlier, less forgiving FEs.

And yeah growths seem to hover in the 40 - 50 range for any character that needs that stat to exceed at their role.

I've found that the difficulty has been steadily decreasing the more I play, and I started on Hard. Maybe it's because I've been doing a little too much grinding, but I had Virion literally two shot the Chapter 11 boss with just a B support from Libra. Libra and Virion have the best support conversations.

Technically, you also get two extra slots for in-battle saves if you're on Casual Mode. You can switch between the regular saves and battle saves when loading by tapping the bottom screen.

I get the impression so far that every map seems to either be a "rout the enemy" or "kill the commander" map. Is this true? IntSys seems to be trending back into FE11-style homogenous victory conditions. :sigh:

Routs are admittedly more interesting that seizes, but I miss my survival/defensive maps.
