Sw3Et Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 Why the name changes? Seems silly to me. different language. Same reason that the english version had name changes from the jap version Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lusankya Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 (edited) different language. Same reason that the english version had name changes from the jap version What is weird that all non-English European version got the same changes. It makes sense to change "Cherche" for the French or "Panne" for the Germans (don't know why they didn't change "Stahl" as well), but all changes are applied to all languages (besides English). And "Lon'zu" or "Daraen" are just a strange changes no matter what. Edited March 23, 2013 by Lusankya Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Over Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 Does anyone know at what hours nintendo usually updates the eshop? The demo will be released on 28th...

Sw3Et Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 Generally the shop seems to update in the middle of the day. Will you post in here when it's available in Australia? you're pretty on the ball when it comes to that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wheels Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 Sure thing ^_^ Just looked it up, seems to be late Thursday night/Friday, so keep your eyes peeled for then if I'm distracted XD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLYINGDAVEno2 Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 I'm in Australia to and i'll be checking the eshop every hour or so from about 2 or 3pm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Over Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 I guess I'll have to wait another day for the demo. I've bought the 3DS when the possibility of a new Fire Emblem appearing on a 3DS appeared. Since then, I didn't give much use to it. Then, FE was announced for the west, I felt relieved that my 3DS purchase was justified. Then Nintendo announced the 3DS XL. I was, until a few days ago, decided to keep the 3DS, but I couldn't resist: I've bought a 3DS XL to enjoy FEA in its full glory. (I know there's a 3DS XL FEA bundle coming, but I don't like the color and specially the decoration, so I've decided to buy the Monster Hunter bundle, black will always be a classic. Also, I prefer to have a physical copy of FEA. :) Thanks for the info, Wheels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wheels Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 No problem~ Well, just woke up, so I feebly checked into the store, ntohing as of yet, which is to be expected. As an aside, I really like the EU eShop's layout better than the NA one. They're basically the same, but, the bottom bar in the EU shop with its helpful links to each specific area of the store (Retail Download, Demos, 3DS Games, DSiware, Virtual Console, Only Available In Stores, etc), is so much better than NA's 'We're gonna put another ad bar here like the top row!' Anywayyyyss XD 12:40 (I'm gonna basically call this 1pm XD) - No show! (UK Time, 2am. Going by the lunch time release places usually have, it should be another 10 hours, so 11pm.)

Perlia Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 (edited) If anyone's wondering about the weird name changes for some characters, it's likely due to issues French speakers would have with the names. Seriously though, while I don't know why they chose those new names in particular, I have reasoning for why the NoA names don't work. Cherche >> Zelcher : Her name is based on the French word chercher, obviously an odd name for a woman, especially with the idiomatic phrase "Cherchez la femme (look for the woman), because she may be trouble". Panne >> Palne: Breakdown/failure in French is panne, so that also makes sense to change that. Lon'qu >> Lon'zu: Now this one is more for aesthetics. The last part of his name would be considered an incomplete syllable and unpronounceable, like Nn would for us. Qu' only exists as the contraction of que when it precedes a vowel, which then borrows that vowel sound, like this: Le filme qu'il (sounds like 'keel') regarde. That and the original apostrophe placement makes Lon'qu an awkward name to look at for a Frenchie. What being a French student does to you...

VincentASM Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 I noticed the EU site is now advertising the demo, but I'm pretty sure it's not out yet. 30 mins left, maybe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hudder368 Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 (edited) I just scanned the code on the website and it says the demo isn't out yet! Should be fairly soon then Edited March 28, 2013 by Hudder368 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avatar Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 Yeah... I have scanned the code and it says it's not available yet... Okay, let's wait 2 more hours... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AntasticTunes Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 It will probably be up in a few hours... Nintendo here in Sweden states that the demo will be playable this afternoon. Argh, the wait is killing me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLYINGDAVEno2 Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 Damn, I really thought we would get this at 11pm. Well it'll be good if it goes live in the next 3 hours, i'll be up to 2am anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bookofholsety Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 (edited) The demo's still not released on the Australian or British eShops as far as I can tell, but the full Australian game site is now up. It's pretty much the European site all over again, complete with the European logo... except its picture of the artbook depicts it as having the American logo. Not to mention, the link to it on Nintendo Australia's front page also still uses the American logo. ????????????????????????? that's it I give up trying to figure Nintendo Australia out on this one Edited March 28, 2013 by bookofholsety Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wheels Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 Nintendo Australia are just...yeah. I'll be up until probably 4am (3am is the DLC release, 3:30am for Spotpass, then probably to 4am once I get Yen'fay + do DLC quotes) so I'll keep my eyes out.

bookofholsety Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 I'm not going anywhere either; I'll probably be bouncing between accessing both eShops for the next few hours I think it's time to admit I have a problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThePancake Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 (edited) Do these demos usually become available at the same time? The only one I downloaded went online at 2:15 pm here, which would mean we'd still need to wait an hour and 15 minutes. Edit: Nevermind, a friend just told me that the e-shop always updates at 2 pm on thursdays, so if all goes well we'll have it in an hour .

Lexington Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 (edited) Don't worry, we can have a problem together XD Same here... But i have to get to work in half an hour. Kinda doubt I'm going to get much done today >_> Any info on how many uses the demo will have? Edited March 28, 2013 by Lexington Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wheels Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 Sweet, just another hour to go~ @Lexington If it's anything like the US version, 30 uses. And soft resetting will take up a use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murdok Dracul Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 This waiting is killing me. I don't know what to do with myself...I... Oh, I know! I haven't brushed my teeth yet. I'll go and do that. For an hour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
