Kamui-of-Nohr Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 (edited) Came out in the west a month later than the Japanese release, would you be willing to wait then or would you still spoil yourself silly? Note this is a hypothetical scenario, I and others know this game won't come out in the west till 2016.

Personally, I would like to go into this game blind and fresh but I wouldn't be able to resist the spoilers so I would give into it. If the game however comes out a month after the Japanese release, then I can totally wait. Edited May 18, 2015 by Kamui-of-Nohr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goodperson707 Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 ^ im not planning on spoiling the story but I'm most likely going to look at the weapons, max stats ect, so when the game comes out doesn't really change that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garnef Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 I've been ignoring spoilers. I'm a clean slate type person. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't do that. When Awakening was about to come out, I decided to look at all of the new classes and skills... while encountering major spoilers which ruined the game for me. Be really careful with that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3Comrades Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 I usually spoil myself in regards to basic characters and supports, also me and my fiance will play the game at the same time so would need to know who is which. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acacia Sgt Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 Even as early as a week I'd still look up spoilers. Depending on the situation, I have varying degrees of dislike to the unknown. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Florete Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 I don't even understand how people find it so hard to not go out and spoil the game for themselves. It's the opposite for me. You'd have to put a gun to my head to force me to spoil the game for myself. The delay could be five years and I still wouldn't spoil it for myself. I'm only going to follow pre-release info until the Japanese release, then I'm steering clear until it's in my hands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReaperGuardian Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 I would try not to spoil myself too much... but probably end up spoiling myself with the characters and their backgrounds But Imma try not to spoil myself for FE14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nyanko Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 I would still spoil myself just for a couple of things I'm curious about. I do want to keep away from spoilers about the plot as much as possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm personally not too worried about spoilers this time since my Japanese has tremendously improved since Awakening was released in the West. My brother also just told me that he ordered both the Nohr and Hoshido edition so we'll be playing together in late June. I won't be around here that much in Late June and July. I'll be willing to give out spoilers (Of course, I will tag them) if people want demand it. Strangely, although my Japanese is pretty damn good now, I've still prefer Western releases of games. I don't know why. Edited May 18, 2015 by Kamui-of-Nohr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunwoo Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 I have no self-control when it comes to spoilers, and I don't really consider them a big deal for myself. I still enjoy the story even if I know what is going to happen, I don't need to be surprised. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm only going to follow pre-release info until the Japanese release, then I'm steering clear until it's in my hands. I'd guess it depends on the individual and the case. For example, in this very case, it'd be for a game you have to pay to own it. The money isn't something you can easily get back, unless the place you bought it has a return policy or something. Or can find someone to sell it to. Or the money is money you can just spend on a non-essential good like a video game. So in those cases, you'd want to know what's what and decide if you really want to own it then. Or if you don't plan to get it but still don't want to be left in the dark. Or if you're not sure you can get the game on launch or in the forseeable future of that and so might as well know now than just avoid places that talk about it for weeks/months/years, specially if it's not the only thing they talk about. Or you want to prepare yourself and plan your playthrough beforehand and thus need to research first. And whatever other reasons there could be. Besides, it's not like it's a bad thing in itself to look up spoilers. Bad is to spoil them to people who don't want to know yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knight Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 I'll probably just ignore this forum section when the game comes out in Japan. I may have a few questions though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raguna Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 I'm the kind of guy who waits for a game and wants it really badly, but I'm lucky because I'm also the type of guy who in the meantime as he waits buys a recent game and plays it for a long while forgetting about the original game I really wanted until I'm reminded via my calendar one day in advance. Although I'm also pretty unlucky so when I'm craving to know information about Sothe, I keep clicking through links until I eventually stumble upon say Saizou's page and stay there to read.

ShadowKnight394 Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 I'm going to do my best to avoid spoilers. In fact, I'm going to temporarily unfollow Serenes Forest until it comes out in the U.S. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mimgrim Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 I'm not going to spoil myself for story stuff (I'll probably leave SF forum again once this game releases in Japan) but I'm going to get all the gameplay stuff I can. I'll also probably see about trying to find an LP/play-through of FE IF of the Japanese version that doesn't translate the story and just focuses on the gameplay (or just mute one and skip to the gameplay portions) so as to see how the game works. And I'll probably look at growth-rates and stuff like that as well. So I'm going to spoil myself on the gameplay but not the story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
December Knight Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 (edited) I don't really care about spoilers since I really don't really consider them a big deal for myself and I can still enjoy the story and the characters even if I know what is going to happen and whatnot.

Leif Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 I will not spoil the story. This happened to me with Awakening, and it ruined my gameplay experience. I want to read about the classes, skills, and weapons, but NOTHING related to the plot. I guess I want to see how Kamui can be customized so I can design my avatar.

Thane Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 I'm weak; if I weren't playing the Japanese version, I wouldn't be able to resist it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sentinel07 Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 I've already spoiled myself with Xenoblade Chronicles X and Bravely Second. I'm resolving myself to not repeat that with this game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vineron Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 I usually actively search for spoilers before anything, whether it's a movie, game, book, etc. I recall when I first played Awakening I managed to make it to Ch 4 before going on the wiki and looking at everything, so regardless when the japanese versions are released in a month I'll be searching for anything plot related about it. I don't know, I know a lot of people are bothered by spoilers and I would never spoil it for anyone else, but I'm the opposite and I love finding spoilers. I do this with completely story-driven games like Ace Attorney or Danganronpa and I still find it enjoyable, and for Fire Emblem I can still look forward to the gameplay when it comes out.

Crysta Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 I will study the game thoroughly before playing it, so the spoilers won't be spoilers. That said, I generally still enjoy playing the games simply because it fills in a lot of the blanks which people fail to adequately explain in wiki articles/forum topics.
