  1. It might sound odd for a Japan-only game to be my favourite. I played it a few years ago on an emulator with a fan translation and a couple things put it up on the list for me.

    1. Town exploration was such a cool thing, being able to see a non-battle sprite walk around a town, talk to people and get treasure, make it feel like a more fleshed out RPG.

    2. For an NES game, the story really grabbed me, and the last stage brought all that to a proper climax.

    3. Celica is the OG grandmaster and a top-tier princess. Her Awakening appearance, I liked; but her class choice was a little messed up. Her Echoes design though, I think is perfect. The art style and design is both a fresh look and a throwback to the original.

    I think Gaiden definitely makes sense for a remake though as it can now come out in the west and the new fire emblems borrow enough elements from Gaiden to (likely) make it approachable by both pre- and post-awakening fans. Also third person dungeon exploration? Looks just awesome, and I hope they have enough of it in the game to feel substantial. Also, a lot of the music in Gaiden is quite repetitive, but I find it quite catchy at the same time, and I think I'll definitely be listening to the OST on youtube the second they're uploaded (the one from the trailer sounds great).

    If they had made this a Switch game, I would've instantly had a reason to get one, but its nice to have it come as a 3DS game (I have two) and I'm also kind of surprised that it's really not that far away from release! It feels like Fates just came out a few months ago. Gaiden feels like it would be too short of a game for the 3DS, so I definitely hope they add new levels/content as well from the original (Awakening length or bust). Either way, I'm really happy and the reveal had my jaw to the floor. I'm wondering, if Echoes does well, do you guys think there's a chance for a FE 4/5 remake, or are they too much of a risk?

    In conclusion, this is definitely a day one buy for me; possibly even a Special Edition purchase (I've never bought a special edition of a game before) and a possible amiibo purchase (the only one I have currently a blue yarn yoshi).

  2. If they bring back marriage/children I hope its in the style of FE4, where first half you play as parents and second half you play as all the kids. Makes it more about stats and less about waifuism.

  3. You're going to have to:

    -Find cubic ninja, which is rare and often expensive

    -Reset your updated 3DS to a former software version, deleting all your data

    -Import a physical copy of FEif from Japan that you cannot update, access online features or buy the other paths

    ALTERNATELY, you could just import a Japanese 3DS. If you buy an original 3DS, you can get it cheap- mine was only about $100 US, the average is about $150 - $250 US. Then you can download the game from the Japanese E-Shop. This is easier, more reliable, often cheaper, and will allow you to download any other Japanese games you want in the future.

    What size sd card would you recommend for an import console? And american sd cards work just fine?

  4. Couple questions when it comes to these:

    Strong Points:

    力持ち Has great power = strength?

    頭が良い Is bright/intelligent = magic?

    手先が器用 has good dexterity = skill?

    素早い is fast = speed?

    運が良い is lucky = luck?

    打たれ強い able to take a beating = defense?

    冷静沈着 calm and composed = resistance?

    健康 healthy = hp?

    Also does strong points mean better base amount, better max amount, or better growth rates?

    For qualities, I provide the various text so you can choose:

    傭兵 Mercenary
    盗賊 Bandit
    侍 Samurai
    鬼人 Oni
    槍戦士 Lance Fighter
    呪い師 Spellcaster
    巫女 Priestess
    天馬武者 Pegasus Warrior
    弓使い Archer
    竜戦士 Dragon Rider
    忍 Shinobi
    薬商人 Medicine Seller
    魔道士 Mage
    杖騎士 Rod Knight
    騎士 Knight
    重*騎士 Heavy Knight
    斧戦士 Axe Fighter

    ^Is this an option to choose what class Kamui can class change into?

  5. I ordered from playasia Friday morning and it got here today, it was supposed to come Tuesday but it got delayed a day because of thunderstorms, and then Wednesday was Canada day so it didn't get delivered. So really it took 4 business days

    @Kirokan thanks, I don't read Japanese but I am honestly hoping to be able to learn some by playing and internet translating etc

  6. Pretty stoked, just have to finish the work day first. I imported a Japanese 3ds and the Hoshido version, I'll wait to play the other two when they're localized next year. If you guys have any general Fates tips or jao 3DS tips let me know. And since I'll be playing through the game feel free to ask me any questions you'd like to know that you can't find answers to else where.
