EDIT: My favourite line? "I began to look into support conversations because I never knew what was coming. In one scenario, a character creates racy posters of Chrom to inspire others to join the army"

XDDDDDDDD

You know the game is trying to drop a hint when Sumia is cleaning Chrom's underwear in the B support.

That Sumia really likes dirty underwear?

Hahaha, pie. Fire Emblem is about pie, it's official. xD

What timing I have, the music faded out right when I finished reading.

[Onestep]

Obviously she's a domestic goddess who's taken on human form.

...Also, saying that Sumia really likes Chrom's dirty underwear sounds somewhat... wrong. In some way.

[King Marth 64]

I did read throught the screenshots that Sumia saids about her mother and Chrom saids "Old Nurse Nan", does anyone might know who this Nan person (either might be Sumia's mother?) might be about?

I come bearing potentially good news about the game's Australian release.

I've just returned from EB Games after placing my pre-order for a copy of it, and during the process the clerk told me that their database says that the game is scheduled for Australian release on Monday 1 April, 2013. I pointed out that even EB's online shop listing for it doesn't specify an exact date, nor has any retailer in Europe as far as I know, and they reaffirmed that this date is what their database says. I guess I'm somewhat skeptical that this is a hard date - it'd be nice, but odds are it's a temporary filler date until they get hard release information.

If it truly is a reference to ASoIaF, that's pretty cool. I wonder if Ricken was meant as one also.

[Wheels]

Yeah, April 1st sounds like a placeholder date to me. When I went in to order the game, their computers were saying the game was coming out in February (after the Nintendo Direct confirming our release in April)

[Dan]

Maybe it's just a cruel April Fool's joke.

[bookofholsety]

Actually, on that note I just realised that it's an unusual choice for a placeholder date. Let's assume for a moment that it is definitely not legitimate and that they don't know for sure. By default, the actual release date has to be later in the month, so to the uninformed consumer the revelation of the actual release date comes off as having to push the release date back for whatever reason. False as this is, it's not exactly positive PR for EB, and actually if they'd done the opposite it'd come off as good PR for them: had they set the placeholder date to 30 April, adding the correct date would almost certainly be earlier than that, so to the untrained eye they'd have the appearance of doing people a favour by bringing the release date forward. It's just simple trickery to take advantage of the ignorance (if you can even call not obsessing over release dates "ignorance") of the wider part of their customer base for their benefit, just like every other bit of advertising ever.

Or I could just be spewing nonsense again. Eh w/e, this train of thought amused me.

"April Fools! Awakening has been canceled!"

[Acacia Sgt]

Does Australia even "celebrates" April Fools in the first place? Or does the April 1st note came from an American site?

[Wheels]

Yeah we do celebrate it, but not very prominently

EDIT: Cordelia got the spotlight on the FB page today

Today’s character spotlight is Cordelia, an Ylissean Pegasus knight who has been friends with Sumia since childhood.

[FLYINGDAVEno2]

It is probably a placeholder as I am also Australian and the EB Games I pre-ordered from last week told me sometime near the end of April.

[Trickster]

So let's see up next would be either Nowi, or Gregor, then finally Rivera or Tharja if we're unlucky and we won't know henry's name until it's released at this rate.

[Mysterique Sign]

There's a part of me that believes that the characters who weren't on the website won't get spotlights

Hopefully Riviera and Henri pop up in a video or screenshot soon

[Kyneme]

Is it possible that the reason why they haven't been released on the website is due to additional changes to them?

[Sigue]

More than likely they aren't there because the section is pretty much copy/pasted from the Japanese site.

Not really related to the American release, but we finally got to learn that (at least in 2012), that Japan was able to sell 455,268 copies (most likely this doesn't include the bundle). Hopefully we'll be able to make this the first million selling Fire Emblem in history.
