Are you going digital or physical for this game?

[Kikirini]

I'll likely get the digital version. I love having boxes, but it's easier to have all my games on the actual 3ds.

[The DanMan]

Physical. Unless they put Camilla's artwork on the back of the box and it's more than waist up (I REALLY don't want to look at it more than I absolutely have to).

Also, for those who plan to download, Awakening was 1.05 gigabytes, so expect something similiar. And an interesting note while I'm at it: 3DS carts are available in 4 and 8 gigabyte versions to developers; the later is rarely ever needed, however. Since Awakening is only a tad over one gigabyte, and a good chunk of that is the game engine, mechanics, and such, both routes should be under two gigabytes combined.

How much space do the cinematics take though? It looks like (though it might be just marketing tricks of course) that there's a lot more cinematics this time around.

physical, definitely. i'm buying the third path, though, which does mean some dlc, but i'm definitely going physical.

[Thor Odinson]

digital because I prefer not having to keep track of carts

also I make regular backups of my sd card for what it's worth

[Roflolxp54]

I'd go physical if all 3 routes are available in 1 game card. Otherwise, I'd just stick with digital.

[Thor Odinson]

Ooh, can you switch stuff to a new, bigger memory card?

You can. I started on a 2, swapped to 8, and now I have a 16,

[Mango Giamatti]

Physical for the first route, digital for the other two. I like having physical copies of games, but I would like to have it all on one cart.

[Florete]

Honestly, it depends on how the game is released over here what I'll do. Physical is my preference, but if there's some bundle being released I'd be fine going digital. If we do get a Pokemon-esque two version deal over here, it will be tempting to not just buy both, but then I also want to have it all in one place and I don't think it will work like that.

[Book of Ereshkigal]

Physical all the way. I am a sucker for boxes. (preferably an all in one LE over buying both versions for various reasons.)

[Random Person]

Digital, but it's because i live in the middle of nowhere. And we don't have 3DS section in stores, sadly

I can always try to import, pay 110$ for game+shipping, wait for 3 months and get a broken product but its not for me

[Dark Sage]

Most likely physical because i'm old-fashioned like that

[kdports]

Physical for special edition copy.

[Eveangaline]

Gonna try for special edition physical.

[Roflolxp54]

You can. I started on a 2, swapped to 8, and now I have a 16,

Max memory size of supported SD cards is 32 GB, which I plan on upgrading to soon. I just hope that I don't lose my Pokemon Shuffle save data as many people who did system transfers to their New 3DS XL system lost their save data for that freemium game.

[The Last Taguel]

Definitely going physical, with as much of it as I can.

[Metal Flash]

Digital because I feel it gives you more of a choice (not that it`s saying much) compared to the physical. That is asuming NoA and NoE will do it that same way Japan did it.

[arvilino]

Digital for my Japanese 3DS to avoid waiting and shipping, Physical for the western one, especially if there's a special edition.

[Anya]

Physical. The boxart for this is beautiful (I'm looking at you, Nohr path).

And boxes for 3ds are so cute! Yeah, 3ds is my first handheld. I only had home consoles up until recently.

[Venterqua]

It all depends. If there's a physical bundle that comes out release, or near-release I'm going with that. If the bundle comes too far from release date then I'll get whatever path I choose at the time physically and the other paths digitally. I'm thinking about buying a Japanese version and if I do, I'll probaably do that digitally. This is assuming of course the NoA release is going the same route as the Japanese games.

[lilin08]

If NoA follows Japan's selling strategy, I'll buy one physical and then buy the other version digitally.

[dragonlordsd]

Physical, of course. It's way cheaper than shelling out for the ridiculously overpriced memory cards. I'll definitely get the special edition, if it comes out in NA, just so I can have both games on one gamecard.
