    Special Edition Pre-Order Anxiety Thread

    in Fire Emblem Fates

    Posted

    I was able to snag one on amazon.ca! It restocked for a few minutes, and it was a good thing I was right next to my phone and computer for the text message alert. They already took out the money and are preparing for shipment today. I should get it next Tuesday!

    I cancelled my Walmart order since it wasn't even moving from processing and in pre-order limbo. I would have had to have my parents ship it up to Canada anyways, so this somehow turned into the best scenario possible for me. x_x what a hassle.

    Good luck to everyone else!

    Yeah, I'm going to try and see if my local EBgames might get in an extra copy.

    I called and they basically said my preorder is in limbo(?) and that if it doesn't ship by the 20th I probably won't end up getting it. I still don't have much of an idea on what's going on since neither the email or the phone convo was very clear, so I guess I'll just have to wait and see at this point. ;_;

    So I sent an email to check on my Walmart order because it's still pending and I was curious about when it was going to be shipping, and I got this back:

    Response email (02/18/2016 07:48 PM)
    Hi ,
     
    Thank you for contacting Walmart.com. I glad to assist you Marianne. I have checked your order information and, it appears that your order did not process correctly in our system. The reason is because the item might be out of stock or an issue within our system. Due to this, the order will not ship so the best option is we can attempt to cancel this order. I do apologize for this inconvenience. Please let me know your response Marianne.
     
    If you have additional questions, please reply to this email and we'll be happy to assist.
     
    Sincerely,
    Kevin G.

    Oh my god I am so frustrated right now, lol. My order still says it's pending and being delivered by the 23rd, so wtf. I sent an email back and now I'm currently on hold for 45 minutes to talk to a customer service rep.

    Damn it.

    That's the single worst localization change by far, and it's to the sole second generation character who I actually liked because he was calm, polite, and (get this) not gimmicky.

    Just... why? Why is Peri left mostly intact, yet this crap happens to HIsame? It's a freaking joke.

    Yup, I agree. I have no idea why they just went off the deep end with his dialogue like that, honestly. I have a friend who is pretty upset over it since she liked him quite a bit. :/ His original support still is pickled vegetable-centric and not great imo, but wow they really punched it up.

    While I think the dialogue is funny because of it's absurdity, I'm not happy what they did with him at all (or Effie for that matter). I have to say if one of my favorite characters was changed like that, I would be pretty damn furious. So I feel super bad for any of his fans out there they just basically made him into a one-note quirky joke character.

    I listened to a few voices. And people said the voice acting was bad. Their standards must reach the stars. But why was Hisame talking about pickles so much?

    His original support with F!Avatar was all about pickled vegetables (fan translation here) http://pastebin.com/A2ka7AtP

    They just took it and ran with it apparently. But his my room dialogue had nothing to do with pickles, as posted in the video by Azz. His localized supports had me rolling though because some of the shit that's in there

    LOOK AT THESE GEMS

    "Sorry...that was awkward. But that's exactly what I meant. Unless I'm talking about pickles, I tend to get flustered around women. "

    "Well, as long as we keep this relationship strictly pickle-platonic, I should be fine."

    "Come! Pickle paradise awaits"

    "Just think...we could grow old together. We could be that old couple at the park that always smells like pickles." :LAFJ:ASLDFJSD I'M DEAD LOL

    "You're right, Corrin. I'm sorry. We're still pickle partners, though, right?"

    Also extremely pleased with Keaton's localized voice! It sounds so much like Gideon Emery to me, and he's one of my favorites. :D

    I'm not worried it will be canceled, I haven't heard of any Best Buy cancels yet.

    I'm rooting for you!

    Thanks! :D

    Luckily the initial charge seemed to go okay, so I think I might be in the clear. I haven't heard of anyone getting their preorder cancelled yet from there, but I guess we'll know when they start fulfilling orders D:

    Reposting this here so more fans get a chance to order:

    I mentioned that the mobile app worked earlier but couldn't figure out why it was only for me. It seems to be a result of using an 8 month old version of the app (that I guess doesn't have the code to support the zip code issue) and I've confirmed that it still lets me place an order, even on my tablet. If anyone else is using android and wants to sideload the old version, I've extracted my copy here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B1PKId8LxETRbjRpQk1Jc0NwLTQ/view?usp=sharing

    Yeah, a lot of people over on Reddit are having a lot of luck with this. Hopefully some more people here can manage to snag one!

    Thanks for the suggestion, but I don't think it's a very convenient option for me considering I can't drive and have no way of actually getting there. Plus, I don't think it's worth travelling far just to get one thing.

    Does US Walmart ship to Canada? Even if they did, I'd probably have to pay some sort of shipping fine which is never fun.

    They do not, unfortunately. I live in Quebec so I have to get my parents to ship it here for me.

    Walmart was my first regular job-job rather than me doing freelance and odd job work, and it wasn't that bad of an experience for me. Most of my coworkers were good people, and the regulars actually came often enough that we learned each others names and would visit periodically. I actually felt bad when one of them told me that I was the reason they kept coming to the store, since they knew I'd take care of them. I had to tell them that was actually my last day on the job...

    Thanks! I'm glad you were able to get one too! We might have talked to the same guy the first time, because the person I talked to was very dismissive and unhelpful.

    We definitely might have, lol. I wasn't acting like a jerk or anything (I've worked in retail before so I'm always super duper nice to them because I know how it feels) but he was just really annoyed and dismissive of my questions. He might have had some issues with other people prior to my call.

    My order invoice says "arrives by February 5th" which is kind of funny though. There's definitely no way that's happening. :P

    Nice! Glad to hear it helped at least one person grab one.

    Hopefully somewhere else comes out with them too.

    Thanks again for the PSA :D The first time I called the guy was totally unhelpful and said he couldn't do anything, but then I called again and the second representative helped me for 30 minutes getting everything sorted out. I'll be a little salty if it ends up being cancelled considering they already pulled out the money and everything, but those are the chances you take. Now I'll just need my parents to ship it up here to Canada for me..

    Congrats REL! Glad someone else was able to get one!
