  1. I've managed to avoid the majority of spoilers, unfortunately caught a couple of story and gameplay features however.

    Mostly I'm still wondering if Europe is going to even have the opportunity to purchase the Special Edition, as I can find no mention of it anywhere online. :/

  2. Obvious characterless Robin problems are evident. The self-insert who has no control over what they say except one choice just prior to Emmeryn taking a dive which held no consequence whatsoever.

    There's also the fact that if in the player's timeline Robin is found after getting everything wiped by Grima trying to take up residence in their head, what happened in Lucina's timeline. Robin's memory wouldn't have been wiped, which would have led to the heir of Plegia signing on with the prince of Ylisse.

    I realise that it's said that Robin's mother took them away, but that was only to stop her child becoming a vassal of a rather grumpy dragon. I don't think Lucina's timeline's Robin would have ever joined Chrom.

    Time travel always causes plotholes.

  3. Eh, I think it just seems out of place.

    I thought the entire premise of the game is the fact that you have to make this heart-wrenching decision between friends and family, and you end up having to attack/kill those past allies. All very dark and gritty.

    And now you can pat people's chins.

    I was intending to play a strategy game about moral grey areas, not build a town.

    After all, I already own Animal Crossing.

    The animation for chin rubbing looks good however, but I can't help but think all that time fully animating each character could be put to better use creating more full 3D cutscenes for the main story. (Awakening only had about 10, and we don't know how many if has.)

  4. Honestly I would be okay with keeping Kamui the way they are, as I like the design of both the male and female versions.

    Honestly self-inserts are always a topic of debate, but I think IS pocketed too much money from the avatar and waifuing aspect of Awakening to not include it in FE:I.

    However, if they go to the trouble of animating CGs with all possible avatars then I will forgive them of everything.

  5. Probably will.

    And probably for added effect, the color of the backgrounds in the cut-ins will be based on which side you joined (purple for Nohr, light cyan/blue for Hoshido).

    I would've thought Hoshido would be more red than anything else, given the hair colour of all the shown characters, and Lobster Man's armour.

  6. I'm going to be one of those awful people that pick based on which I think will have characters I like more.

    So if after playing a bit I'm like "wow dang this character here is my best bro/looks so super cool, I can't be against them" I'll pick their side.

    The first time at least. Obviously the second time I play it will be the other side.

    Man I am looking forward to the replay value in this.

    Honestly that's the best thing to do, as if this was a real situation then perhaps Kamui would side with the ones who he considered to be more his friends.

  7. So, in this image:

    fire-emblem-felicia.jpg

    We can see two maids, one with pink hair and one with blue. (Pink hair was fan translated to Felicia, I believe.)

    However, on the box arts from the official sites:

    pkg.jpg

    We can see pink hair on the art for the Hoshido game, and blue hair on the art for the Nohr game.

    However, they seem to be working in tandem to wake up Kamui earlier, so could the two sides be in cahoots for a period up until [national relationship breaking event].

    Thoughts?

  8. That is actually ridiculous. I suppose it's basically like paying for Awakening+DLC but still... It feels dirty. At least with Pokémon the only differences between versions are minimal and you don't have to own both to make up for it since you can just trade version exclusive Pokémon with friends. This is splitting up what should be one game into three parts for no good reason.

    There is a good reason.

    The good reason is to line Nintendo's pockets.

    This is how they counteract initially poor Wii U sales - plastic toys, DLC and splitting games up. It's like the film industry splitting movie tie ins of poluar books into separate films to maximse revenue.

  9. what does this mean?

    If I buy the the Black game, then how is it that I am making a choice when I am locked into the Black campaign?

    Sure the first 6 chapters may be shared but… can someone explain why I am making a choice here?

    You're funding Nintendo, because they know that the diehard fans (90% of SF) will buy both copies.

    They know this'll work cos Pokemon.

    The choice is whether you're prepared to fork out enough money to buy both.

    I'm quite interested to how pissed off the Japanese side of the internet is getting.

  10. I've never been one to buy both Pokemon games, but if I have to I will here.

    However this is incredibly foolish of Nintendo if this is the case, because as mentioned before, you cannot have the main selling point of a game as the choices, and then go lolnope and make you decide before you even get attached to the characters.

    However some consolation that this may not be the case is the CGI of Kamui eing flanked by people of both factions pleading with them to join their side, indicating that hopefully the choice is still ingame.
