Noir

I have no idea how it would happen, but i've seen some people with Anna in their USA game. Would that get them shadowbanned? ...and actually, how do they have Anna? Is it a simple powersave trick?

I can say for sure I cancelled my order on Amazon.de because it was available in the UK. And if I did it, I bet there are others who did the same.

Look at that, even a few hours later it's still available. I-i-it's actually like they have stock?

Managed to get a copy of Amazon.de. I'll obviously cancel it in the event I manage to get a copy off a UK retailer's site, but if the situation is really as bad as it seems, that's probably real unlikely. Anyone have any idea why this is so poorly managed? Other collectors editions (Bravely Second, Hyrule Legends) appear to be pretty easy to obtain. Does Nintendo of Europe hate Fire Emblem or something?

It'll be English for me. I have a rough understanding of Japanese and could get along with it, but the huge cast of cute anime girls is what's putting me off. It's what really annoys me about almost any Japanese work - when a grown woman voice acting a character sounds like they're four years old and have inhaled helium. It's not hard at all to voice a Japanese woman speaking normally and make that sound cute, but I guess they just want to constantly make everyone squeaky to further aid this "waifu emblem" thing they're doing.

I reckon they won't cut the lewd stuff, and just throw in some strange replacement for the hyperbolic time chamber. "Hey you two nine year olds, i'm your child from an alternate reality! It's so good to meet you!" The number of underaged romances in this one is weird and creepy. It's fine for a teenager to sleep with a teenager, but that's pushing it.

I honestly think the only character I dislike (from having read a large portion of translated supports, watching gameplay footage, etc..) is Aqua. I mean, Camilla isn't 'that' bad, she's just a little deranged. She even redeems her slightly bad qualities in some supports. But Aqua really just annoys me. Plus the fact that she's completely idiotic throughout the whole plot doesn't help her case at all. Then there's the fact that she's only really good for dancing, and I would rather bring a unit who can kill stuff than bring a unit who can only dance. Dancing and being able to fight are fine, but it looks like Aqua's not got any real combat potential.

What are all of the proc's in this game? I'm guessing it's Luna, Sol, Vengeance, Astra and that new one, Breaking Sky. Are there any others? But more importantly, are they as important to this game as they were in Awakening?

What are the detailed effects of using a handicap? I assume it would balance out stats between the two teams fairly?

The only way to get them is buy both games digitally or buy DLC? Wow, that sucks. I thought you got them out the bonus box if you had the games regardless.

Do the amiibos not get a critical cut-in? Same question for the capturable bosses, actually.

Well, since they're changing the game anyway... (sounds like they're going to be localizing the singing and all soundfiles about the singing) ...it wouldn't really be un-doable for them to change some other aspects they didn't like whilst they've got the game open. They did it with Awakening and most fans didn't know/mind the changes, since in general it was for the better. I'm partly wondering if they'd leave Hoshido alone and just change Nohr, though. It would add further emphasis the difference in culture to the casual player, adding more 'oomph' onto the choice. Do you pick the culture that's similar to your own, or the one that's different? y'know, since they're going to change stuff anyway.

What's the in-game reason as to why the Awakening people are back? Or is nothing given?

Like the above posts said, I figured this would be hard without taking away from Nohr being the hardest. You can grind, and since it's technically the "true route" I imagine any future content would be accessible on this route. The previous two are like, parallel worlds until Kamui/Corrin gets onto the true route. So it makes sense for the difficulty to be a mix of the two.
