Hmm, just found the second popularity contest Japan had for Fates. Awakening had two as well I believe.

Spoiler

I'm kinda just laughing at how Odin is STILL in the top 10. The guy knows how to throw a performance with those theatrics.

This one is actually much older. I believe it was around the summer Famitsu did this. It was definitely before the Nintendo Dream (October) and Nintendo's official (November) popularity polls. I recall seeing more people were surprised at Oboro's high ranking than Odin's ranking but I think Odin was brought up.

WHAT

But....the 3DS...and the screens.....and.....

The hyperbolic time chamber itself i don't mind. I've seen it happen in things like Fairy Tail and Doctor Who. Its the reason the children were sent there that i find stupid. Its not bad......but they could've found a better reason.

The time chamber itself is something I could buy.
But they only use that to explain the kids growing up so quickly. They don't explain how the babies are born so quickly. That implies that there is a time skip of around maybe 9 or 10 months every single time a new couple is S-ranked together. By the time I get all the second gen kids, Elise will be a grown adult and poor old Gunter will have died of old age.

Regardless of what I said earlier about FE13, I don't actually hate it. In fact, it's actually along my favorite FE games, despite it's flaws (appealing to a casual majority through Waifu Simulator, really easy difficulty and slutty outfits). While it manages to be super easy with all the game has to offer to you, it doesn't literally force you to use said options (granding Skirmishes, Tonics, Pair-Ups, etc.). In fact, I've been going No Pair-Up for most of my later runs to try out the difficulty and it felt pretty all right. A few characters got to me, even if it wasn't in a super deep and emotional level (because it doesn't need to be such to cause an impression to me). They ranged from fun, colorful to heartwarming (off the top of my head, these characters include Cynthia, Henry, Liz & Sumia). The game's replay value is insane. It ranges from, not only a ton of characters, but also a ton of customizations, different supports (in regards to their story value, in this aspect), DLC, etc. And since I'm a person that doesn't bring a ton of characters to field, this works really good for me.

To be honest, my favorite characters include LIBRA, Anna, Henry, Gangrel & Walhart, despite not having had mentioned them above. The game's insane and never failed to keep me latched-on to my 3DS, much like Smash did.

If a game manages to do that despite all the flaws you're against, you know it's a particularly good one.

Same here, actually. Awakening's new system actually made the game so great to me. I still think that some of the GBA games did more to give characters and world more backstory, but that doesn't matter when you won't be seeing of them without stupid amounts of support grinding. Now that I'm better at FE, Awakening's gameplay does feel kind of lame to me now, but Fates is supposed to change that by rebalancing the game to encourage offensive play again.

That's why I'm trying not to be too negative about Fates. Even if I complain about it, I know I'm going to play it to death when I get my hands on it.

WHAT

But....the 3DS...and the screens.....and.....

Are you certain that's real? Last I checked, they weren't doing DS virtual console for the 3DS.
Besides, Nintendo is way better than that. 3DSes are backwards compatible with DS games, so it'd have no problem playing a DS game as if it was an actual DS itself.

Edit: Oh wait, that's the gamepad, not a 3DS. I was confused for a second.
Nintendo has already been releasing DS games on the Wii U Eshop for a while. It's kind of weird.

Edit2:
So it seems Arthur has a belt with an "H" on it.

Actually, what Awakening did was encourage offensive play a bit too much. The "strategy" was to simply throw your strongest dudes and kill everything. That's literally it. You didn't even even need to grind with powerful stuff like Pair-Ups, Tonics and Forges. Don't get me wrong, you could powerhouse in the earlier games too. It just wasn't this obvious, it took a lot more work and the chapter's goal wasn't always there (there were varieties like Seizing the throne, Defending, etc.).

Regarding Fates, give it a chance. Give it a chance like I did with Awakening, and I'm sure it'll prove me wrong one more.
Still can't get over the walking fanservice that is Camilla, tho.

When I said "defensively", I guess I meant more slowly. You could rush things, but you could also just go slowly and pick enemies off one by one and do even better. They only incentive to move quickly was the occasional thief.

In Fates, enemies apparently get "aggroed" in groups. So, if you tried to pick one enemy off, you'll get a small group of them raiding you instead. HP is all around lower, and the new "attack stance" pair up - which enemies now take advantage of as well - means characters will be doing a lot of damage.

While Awakening was about tanking everything and bringing down enemies one-by-one, Fates is apparently more about taking out groups of enemies before they gang up on one of your guys the next turn.

Or so I've heard. Of course, I haven't played Fates myself yet, but that's what I've seen some of the more hardcore fans say, and what they do say certainly does make sense.

The time chamber itself is something I could buy.
But they only use that to explain the kids growing up so quickly. They don't explain how the babies are born so quickly. That implies that there is a time skip of around maybe 9 or 10 months every single time a new couple is S-ranked together. By the time I get all the second gen kids, Elise will be a grown adult and poor old Gunter will have died of old age.

Your right. They don't explain how the children are born so quickly. This is gonna sound INCREDIBLY stupid but let's just assume that it doesn't take 9 months for a child to be born in Fates. At the same time, this is a game where you apparently get married almost instantly after confessing so.......I don't know. Its a fantasy game, let it take some liberties, even if it makes zero sense. You also said "By the time I get all the second gen kids, Elise will be a grown adult and poor old Gunter will have died of old age" for that, just apply the anime age logic.

I feel like I'm having a lucky streak. As I mentioned before, I bought Fire Emblem White Kingdom used at half price (used games in Japan tend to be in impeccable state) and I'm almost through with that campaign so I was preparing myself to buy the two other paths which according to Serenes cost 2000 yen each (around 16 bucks). I go to the in-game store and to my surprise each one of them is actually 1000 yen contrary to what I expected, I don't know why but perhaps since the game is over 6 months old here they might have cut the price of the DLC paths. Basically, it means that I got all three paths for a total of 32 dollars!! This must be my lucky day.

Also, why bother with Witch if the only use of Shadowgift in Fates is to use the only Dark Magic tome in this game, Nosferatu, which is now super-gimped? I mean, it only heals you for half the damage you deal, you can't double, trigger crits or skills.

Witches gets an op skill called "Warp" it instantly teleport you to an ally and you can perform another action and that's pretty insane.

This is the second time the Witch class makes an appearance. The first time was in Fire Emblem Gaiden. But in Gaiden, Witches were enemy exclusive. This is the first time where the Witch class is actually playable. Plus, its Gaiden recognition and as Gaiden is the most underrated Fire Emblem game, more Gaiden recognition gets the official Armagon seal of approval.

I guess Shenmei is Arete now?

I actually prefer Arete over Shenmei. It creates a nice contrast.

Spoiler: What i'm talking about is a spoiler

Arete and Mikoto are sisters. Arete is a Greek name in Greek mythology. And Greece is in Europe. Nohr is based on Europe. Mikoto is a Japanese name. And Hoshido is based on Japan. Arete became the queen of Nohr (for a short while) while Mikoto became queen of Hoshido.

Just look up Shadow Dragon's price. And after that, look up Path of Radiance. They don't come cheap.

Which is why Nintendo needs to stop screwing around and put Radiant Dawn on the Wii U eshop already. I swear, I'm never going to get my hands on that game.

Here's what Nintendo needs to do:
1. Translate and release the first 6 Fire Emblem games and the 12th Fire Emblem game on both 3DS and Wii U Eshops.
2. Path of Radiance HD
3. Radiant Dawn on virtual console.
Alternatively, Nintendo could do this (but it would take a heck of a long time):
1. Take Shadow Dragon, Gaiden, Mystery of the Emblem, and Awakening, put them in one disc, call it "Fire Emblem: Archanea Saga", and release it worldwide.
2. Take Genealogy of the Holy War and Thracia 776, put them in one disc/cartridge, call it "Fire Emblem: Jugdral Saga" and release it worldwide.
3. Take Sword of Flame and The Binding Blade, put them in one disc/cartridge, call it "Fire Emblem: Elibe Saga" and release it worldwide.
4. Take Path of Radiance and Radiant Dawn, put them in one disc, call it "Fire Emblem: Tellius Saga" and release it worldwide.
Regardless of how they do it, it can end up being a very big success for them.
Meanwhile Sacred Stones and the continent of Magvel are forever alone.
