HarmoKnight Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 Looking at the boxarts in the official site, it seems this game is rated C by CERO (translated to ages 15 and up), as compared to Awakening's B (ages 12 and up). This is probably the result of Camilla's outfit lol. Has the amiibo logo always been on the boxes? Amazon JP has it too, but not under details "From the manufacturer". Regardless, how would any be incorporated? Marth and Lucina are already DLC characters via FE 0 (cipher). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope, it wasn't there previously: http://serenesforest.net/gallery/fire-emblem-if/ Does this confirm amiibo compatibility? Sorry I'm not familiar with amiibo in general.

Sorry I'm not familiar with amiibo in general. Yeah, any game with that logo is compatible with amiibo, although I've only seen Japanese boxes (this and Xenoblade) with it. So, would a character unlock a unit or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryo Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 Thanks to this high-quality image of the face plate, we can now see that butler boy is carrying a sword, though it's pretty obscure. I wonder what kind of class is he? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nym Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 Wait, ''only for new 3ds''??? what about the 3 ds XL I have right now... or I misunderstands something obvious here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, the face plates are only for the regular New 3DS. Any other system in the 3DS family or even the New 3DS XL won't be able to use it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might be blind, but to me it seems like it's saying 審査予定 (rating pending) on that specific picture, not Cero C, which would look like http://i.imgur.com/KtxNJwM.png Unless you're talking about a different picture xD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ayra Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 On the Serenes frontpage there's a better image of it. http://serenesforest.net/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/hoshido-w-amiibo.jpg Looks like yours! I love that Aqua art. It's interesting to see that she also has the spear/pointy staff in her official character art. I wonder if she'll actually be using that in battle? She looks more like a dancer/bard class, but we've never had any prominently featuring a weapon before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cysx Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 Thanks to this high-quality image of the face plate, we can now see that butler boy is carrying a sword, though it's pretty obscure. I wonder what kind of class is he? It seems a bit small and he wears the sheath quite low for a sword; maybe it's a knife. Either way he's quite the handsome fellow, I can see him becoming extremely popular as long as he doesn't suck As for the face plates coming out in Europe, considering the upper part is written in a lot of languages from around there, that seems likely. I guess. Not sure why the top right is written in english and french specifically though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadowofchaos Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 "The promised limited edition bundle, which contains all three scenarios, has sold out across Japan including two separate releases on amazon.jp." ...I'm lucky I was able to get a preorder in. It sold out 5 HOURS AFTER ANNOUNCEMENT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Book of Ereshkigal Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 Yeah, I managed to get a preorder in because I couldn't sleep at like 3 AM and play-asia happened to restock it <.< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeadGame Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 Amiibo support confirmed... damn. Here's hoping they keep it clean and not lock away additional gameplay with these things like they do with Splatoon and Codename: Steam. One random item per figure, like in Hyrule Warriors. That's acceptable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is probably the result of Camilla's outfit lol. CERO is more an industry standard (like the ESRB), and not a government ratings board (like PEGI). It's quite possible that they've just had some staff changes, resulting in more prudish ratings. Haven't a lot of JRPGs from series that are historically B12+ been getting C15+?

Yeah, I managed to get a preorder in because I couldn't sleep at like 3 AM and play-asia happened to restock it <.< I found like 5 different sites that had preorders (which were all either "out of stock" or "not available") and put myself on the mailing list for when pre-orders were available again. Two of them became available and then were all sold out before I saw the email and got to the site but I was able to order it in time from the third one that sent me an email.

Flying Shogi Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 The Nintendo website says that the regular 3DS systems("require an additional peripheral device") will be compatible with amiibo so that means I don't have to buy a New 3DS. Hopefully the extra things we get from amiibo isn't too major like an extra chapter or something because that would suck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Book of Ereshkigal Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 Yeah, the Amiibo adapter or w/e. I wonder when that comes out? I'd buy it. I want to use Ike and Marth in Code Name Steam...

I got mine in on the first restock.That sucks, but that's what happens on limited bundles. http://shadowofchaos725.tumblr.com/post/115301347045/looks-like-im-not-playing-it-on-release-day Edited April 30, 2015 by shadowofchaos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Respite&Nepenthe Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 Gonna have to suck it up and preorder. For Awakening, I just strolled into GameStop on release day and got a copy, but that doesn't like it's gonna work this time around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
