Smakuel Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 Most people are aware you can use AMIIBO in Fates and use them as units, but as someone with a U.S. copy of Fates, I am wondering if I need to acquire the same region import for AMIIBO to work. (I have no experience with them whatsoever and do not want to buy a Europe import since it will cost less than have been useless due to regions. Thank you.

Orion5487 Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 Amiibos are not "region-locked", so to speak. You can use an Amiibo from any region on any 3DS. I have a japanese Marth and he works just fine with all of my Amiibo compatible games, including my U.S. version of Fire Emblem: Fates.

Smakuel Posted February 25, 2016 Author Share Posted February 25, 2016 Thank you very much, now, it's to to go AMIIBO hunting! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anacybele Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 I made an Amiibo thread on the board here, just to point out. But it's probably easy to miss since it's on the second or third page, so no biggie. :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ren Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 I have a question. Can I use my friends amiibo? Or are the amiibos game lock onto one game? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anacybele Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 I think you can, Fates doesn't save any data to the Amiibo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ren Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 I think you can, Fates doesn't save any data to the Amiibo. ok thAnk you very much! Do you just need to use an amiibo once? Or you gotta use it once for each save file? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anacybele Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 That, I'm not sure of. But you will have to use the Amiibo multiple times in one save file if you want to recruit them to your party. Scanning them once only has them give you a gift. Scan them three times, and they'll battle you. Beat them in said battle to recruit them. I've only recruited Ike, but he was tough, so I'm assuming the other three are tough as well. Go in with a good strong party. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayra Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 The good news is that Amiibo are not region-locked as already mentioned. I have a "Japanese" Ike and he works just fine. The bad news is that you need to scan them 3 times as Anacybele mentioned, but there's a delay on the scan times. I don't have the details on how much time that is (I did it over three separate real-life days), but it's not super fast. The other bad news is that it's only for a single save file, so you have to repeat the process for each one of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ckc22 Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 The delay just requires a chapter between each scan. Also you can summon them back after and they'll tend to shops, which I believe if they end up in the arms shop they offer special weapons.

Go in with a good strong party. Lucina has 2 flyers with her so make sure you have an archer. The rest shouldn't be tough to deal with. The enemies are all about level 14 in her stage, so just make sure to be the appropriate level. I don't know about Marth or Robin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This would be useful for someone that is, though. Also, if the Amiibo run the accessories shop, they'll sell their exclusive accessories. I noticed Ike's Pauldron and the Yune Pauldron (I think that was the name) in the accessory shop when I saw Ike in it.

You can recruit them in other save files through the logbook, but then they'll be missing their unique weapon. And without the Amiibo you can't make them take care of stores either.

They do? I didn't actually buy any from the logbook, but no one else comes with equipment and it doesn't appear listed in their logbook profile. That's actually pretty good then if true, especially regarding usage of the DLC seals. Edited February 27, 2016 by NeonZ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's actually pretty good then if true, especially regarding usage of the DLC seals. You actually can't even take off their weapon. If you use the store all/optimize buttons they'll always keep their signature weapons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
