I'm not gonna lie. I refreshed the amazon store page multiple times after the direct to pre-order the game. :p It sold out really fast tho.

It is also up on amazon.

A video would be fantastic. I'm in the same boat as Praedyth.

I always figured if anything was going to get remade it would be a Blazing Sword/Binding Blade rolled into one game with a second gen and making the tactician playable. Seems to fit the direction IS seems to be going. I'd love to see a Gaiden remake though, since it is the only game in the series that i'm not at least familiar with.

Fates was a solid step in making a fun game with strategy, so keep that up. Tweak the avatar system, or at the very least tone down the player worship. I LIKE having an avatar/window character. Its a neat gimmick and tbh the FE lords/mains are usually pretty bland anyway. Give at least the illusion of choice within the narrative and some say in the personality. I hope the unlimited supports stay. I didn't care for limited supports and barely touched the system in the gba games. It was restricting and tedious. -MORE PLATONIC SUPPORTS PLZ-

I'm not too up in arms over player avatars. TBH it really took me out of FE7 when people would address Mark, and he ended up being a practical non-entity. I was super hyped for the feature when I popped in awakening (since I didn't know it existed until I saw it at walmart). I really liked the feature at the time. Alot of my (and probably other people's) issues with Kamui is the excessive worship. Really kills him/her as a character. I think that avatars can be done fine, they just need to add more choices and tone down/remove the player worship.

I will second what Dlordflash said. I got Anna, and she reverted to base stats once I recruited her.

Thanks. Surprised that I missed that the first time I thumbed through the topic.

Anybody know what the items the bosses are carrying in the first dlc here is? They look like skill books.

With design in mind: Anna, hands down. I've always had a bit of a soft spot for our RNGoddess, but I really do like her fates design. She is dressed sensibly and still manages to look very good. 10/10 will probably waifu asap Purely from a physical asset standpoint: Camilla. As many issues as I have with her design in terms of clothing and armor, I will admit that she is an incredibly attractive woman in terms of body, hair etc. Beats out many of the other girls in the game by a country mile.

Having played the Japanese version I hope they improve on Iago and Gunther voices. Didn't much care for their quips.

Do know that you do not need a Japanese 3ds to play Japanese games if you do not mind setting up homebrew. Look up tubehax and go from there, you can buy a route on cartridge for a little over $40 on amazon. This method does lock you out of dlc though and you can't use the English patch without the right firmware.

You can add me to that list. Not keen on the relational relationships (?) I did identify with Robin more as well.

As someone who has the Japanese version, i'll play both. Once it is localized I will stick to english in that copy. Most of the voice acting is pretty good, but I don't know how much I can handle some of the female voices and the older Kamui voice barking Leons name.

For me it's the Kunai/Hidden Weapons. It's new and fresh and I dig the debuff effects alot.

You are free to do whatever you want. It is your writing. I was just making a statement, not trying to tell people what to do, and I apologize if it came off that way.

I'm pretty confident it will stay in, and i'm kind of excited to see what comes of it. More choice and more diverse characters are always a plus within the right context.

More of my issues with the story stem from Aqua more than Kamui to be honest. She knows way too much and is alot of the reason for some of the plot contrivances in the game. It also doesn't help that in the main story parts she mainly exists as an exposition bot. Kamui in the Nohr route does question his decisions and he/she makes mistakes and people do suffer for it. Alot of the problems with Kamui stem from the narrative not giving their mistakes proper weight and allowing for the character to reflect or properly address them. While I do like that in the Hoshido route, Kamui's naivete is toned down compared to Nohr, it bugs me that no real weight or reflection is given to the fact that Kamui just left the people who raised them and for all intents and purposes was their family for their early life. Which is one of the contributing factors for the perceived Hoshido bias. There is potential, it just wasn't fully realized in the game, and I don't think throwing away Kamui is necessarily the best move since you have a character who can reasonably make mistakes and stand to learn from them and grow as a character.

I've heard people claim both that true hit is gone in fates, and that true hit is still there. Which is it?

As for the my castle cycle changes. In my experience it changes by one phase: 1) When you complete a chapter 2) When 6-8 hours have passed with your 3ds in sleep mode. I usually just close the lid on my 3ds before I go to bed, and when I wake up the my castle stuff has refreshed.

I imagine that the only changes we will see is a few of the characters are aged up, some characterization changes and some of the skinship lines and incest overtones toned down. Thats about it. Normal for localization. I doubt we will see the censorship boogeyman for this one.

Art design and common sense segregation? I got nothing.

The hype is too strong. I'm about to sell some of my old magic the gathering cards to try to get the extra cash needed. Send help.

I'd be willing to bet money that it would not be censored. I'm not a betting man. 1) Part of the cutscene was in the English Trailer 2)Any attempt to meaningfully censor or change the cutscene would be difficult barring removing the scene entirely or cutting out the lead-in angles. Honestly it is more trouble that it is worth. People need to stop worrying so much about this game getting censored. At worst we will get some personality changes and revised supports. Until we see evidence otherwise I would not entertain the idea of this game being that censored.

Can't seem to access the spreadsheet with the bases and growths. It's coming up as an empty folder?
