Don't forget that the next pieces of DLC are coming out tomorrow. If you feel that your units are underleveled or Conquest's difficulty has become too much you just said "fuck it", then there's the XP map. If you want to see your favorite Royal in a beach outfit, pick up Beach Brawl.

Hmm, give me Landsknechts, Musketteers, Swiss Pikeman, and having it be more of the Thrity Year's War and I'm sold.

Funny, I just got a used copy of Radiant Dawn from Gamestop in the mail on Saturday. Was kind of looking forward to playing it. Also got Shadow Dragon as well, but not feeling it right now.

Played up to chapter 8 for Conquest and up to about chapter 11 for Birthright and I'm loving the Gameplay. Waiting for the XP and Gold DLC to come out so that I can better steel myself for Conquest Chapter 10... because I'm a scrub like that. As for the story, kind of finding it to be ho-hum and a bit cliched. Kind of like a summer blockbuster. Also, never really got the Awakening hate, as it was in my opinion a good game with a whelming story. Not underwhelming, not overwhelming, just whelming.

Well, I managed to snag Conquest at my local best buy, along with the Fire Emblem New 3ds. I'll take my victories where I can get them. I so hope that the Amazon backorder for the SE that I did is a sure thing.

Target turned out to be a dud. Amazon strangely turned into a temporarily out of stock, so I may still have a chance right?

Yeah, it was both.

And mine just got cancelled. ....fuck

I swear if I don't get this, I will dedicate myself to Khorne and bring ruin to this world! Blood for the Blood God! Skulls for the Skull Throne!

I'm in that same boat right now. *anxiety intensfies*

Well, I went with the in-store pickup from the best buy in my town that said on ebay that they had them in stock, so I hope that I got it!

*crosses fingers* Please don't screw up, please don't screw up.

I just ordered one for in-store pickup. I'm so happy!

Nohr: Camilla Hoshido: Reina Revelations: Camilla or Reina

Whenever I hear Iggy, I think of Iggy from Jojo's Bizarre Adventure.

I feel exactly the same way. The most I care about right now is if I have fun with the game.

I'm in the same boat as you guys. There was a chance to for me to pre-order the special edition during the weekend it was announced at my local Gamestop, but I actually refused to preorder it when the cashier asked if I wanted to as I was no longer excited for the game at that time after reading everyone's impressions of its story since June 2015. It only took reading the localizations presented so far tha my excitement was ignited again, and I've been kicking myself for not pre-ordering ever since. Maybe I'll get lucky and find the special edition in stock or someone cancelled their pre-order in my town. One of my Wal-Marts did have the Reaper of Soul's collector's edition for over a year when it came out. Well, fingers crossed.

Corrin's reaction kind of reminds me of how protective Nier is to his daughter Yonah. How protective? As for the actual implementation of the children themselves... couldn't they have done something similar to pawns from Dragon's Dogma? Or have each of the be from a different version of the games' world since Outrealms have been established as a thing and have a part of their character arcs getting used to how different both the world and this world's version of their parents compared to what they remember? Kind of throwing ideas out here.

Name: Corum, just like Moorcock's Prince in the Scarlet Robe Appearance: As close as I can get to emulating Corum as there are only a couple of facial features with a missing eye. Route: All, starting with Conquest first and getting that clusterf*** story out of the way first Class: Dark Blood (Arioch! Arioch! Blood and Souls for my Lord Arioch! Wait, wrong Eternal Champion) Secondary Class: Either Cavalier or Mercenary Marriage: Camilla for Nohr, either Reina, Rinkah or Hana for Hoshido, Camilla or Reina in Revelations

I wear flannel, so I welcome this change.

After looking at these changes, I honestly regret not pre-ordering the Special Edition. Hopefully my local stores may have one when someone cancelled their's (not holding my breath).

Well, here's one way that I came up with to make it a bit better. Not yet sure on how to work Hoshido into that scenario.

Some of the changes I've seen for the localization have actually made me tentatively excited for this game. I was very disappointed in the game after reading how it handled it's story to where I went from hype to swearing off the game. Now, I'm a bit hopeful that the localization will change or at least tone down some of the gripes I had with the story. I'm actually kicking myself in the pants for not pre-ordering the special edition when i was able to. Still, If by some miracle I find it at a store, I will buy it. If not, I may pick up Conquest first even though a lot of people had problem's with its story. At least it and XCOM 2 will satisfy my strategy itch.

If I may be perfectly honest, I thought that this game was going to do well in Japan despite that it wasn't what fans were expecting. Wasn't planning on buying it because it wasn't what I expected or was hoping for (something more akin to Warhammer with SMT and FE characters). I believe another reason why it's not selling well is because SMT, or rather the Persona sub-series, already got an Idol-esque game this year: Persona 4: Dancing All Night. Which sounds better, having characters you know and love dance to remixes of some of your favorite Persona songs, or try to get invested in new characters and hope that the game's songs click with you? I know my choice.

What I regret the most is having high expectations for this game. After reading spoilers and everyone's reactions to it and the numerous plot summaries made me disappointed in Fates and killed my interest in the game to the point where if I somehow see the special edition in stores, I may pick it up but only after flipping a coin first. My enthusiasm for Fire Emblem was also greatly diminished because of that disappointment to the point where I am worried for the franchise's future.
