I'd say so, I hope Tobin will have his chance to shine in fact. Actually, I was incredibily lucky with Tobin's level ups during my Gaiden playthrough and he turned out to be pretty decent (I made him a Cavalier).

I can see them keeping it, like they kept Celica's jump attack with swords.

Whoa, Boey got a significant boost, might be able to actually use him this time around. Even though Mae still appears to be better.

There is. Weight is shown among other weapon stats in PAX footage.

Oh, I keep forgetting about HP cost. You're right, then. As for the "chant time", it makes sense, I guess (I like your interpretation, hadn't thought about that).

I can see this being fixed in Echoes (hopefully). I always found it weird for spells to have weight, since technically they aren't "tomes" (even in the animation the mages are shown holding no weapons). Is it the weight of knowledge or what...?

I actually have mixed feelings about Fates's system, but I agree it was over-complicated at times, especially with certain weapons (there was a LOT to keep in mind about stat changes). Weight is certainly simpler and sometimes simple is just better.

Right, I was unsure about that. Anyway, I'm looking forward to seeing how it plays in actual gameplay since they're reprising almost any single feature from the original Gaiden.

I've just noticed this from PAX East footage and I haven't seen it being discussed in other threads - it appears weapon weight is back. For those who don't know, Weight is a weapon stat that can affect a character's Speed (with some differences and other additional effects that vary between later Fire Emblem titles). This particular mechanic was abandoned in most recent titles (New Mystery, Awakening and Fates, as far as I know). What do you guys think about it making a return?

I'm waiting for Amazon. Europe still cannot preorder anything...

Completed and enjoyed it. It definitely has its flaws (some mechanics are sooo unbalanced), but it's a good game overall. I played it after the Echoes announcement.

Yeah, it's not "leaking". I messed up because English is not my first languange and I'm not always that good, my bad XD

Wow, I just love that. This game is looking better every time something leaks.

Exactly this. It's good they listened to us and aknowledged the complaints about the total absence of a proper worldbuilding in Fates.

This. Even if it's a bit odd that we know barely anything about the game when it comes out in 1 month in Japan.

I've just got the 7th Cecilia. I'm gonna cry.

My luck is still terrible. I tried the new Sibling Bonds focus and I got Cecilia (for the... I don't know, 10th time?), Raven, Oboro, Felicia and other two useless 3* units. Oh well, I guess I'll give it another try in the weekend when I'll have enough orbs to do another pull.

Cecilia and Arthur. They're ALWAYS there.

Yes, and I'm happy about that. Unless it's the default design for the Avatar, I'd say that's unlikley.

I got Lucina (favorite character, first try!), Roy, Catria, Raven, Sakura and Linde. My next objective is Camilla (I've been trying for so long and still nothing), Takumi and Seliph. Tiki also wouldn't hurt. But I'll have to wait till I have at least 17 orbs before I can do another pull session. I got so unlucky last time, 1 green orb and 4 blue ones...

They're all up!

He's up!

I'm even more convinced that newer fans could give it a shot. The game looks gorgeous in almost every aspect for now. It also depends on how much they will show to us before the game releases.

Oh my, this is all awesome. Especially Celica's Departure theme.

I managed to beat this level on Normal with 5* Lucina (lv. 38), 5* Roy (lv. 33), 5* Catria (lv. 37) and 5* Raven (lv. 34). I don't think I'll be able to beat it on Difficult though.
