Fire Emblem: The Discussion Thread (keep FE Fates story under spoilertags)

[Ussi]

I'm waiting for my package to be shipped... I don't think they even sent it out. Which is lame because you're supposed to ship a day early! blargh

 

[sakuraZaKi]

Has anyone gotten the game from GS yet? Just wondering since I didn't preorder, and I've heard that GS only does Tuesday releases.

 

[zyth]

I tried going at 10 am and they said their shipment comes in at noon, so imma try again at 1

They get them whenever. Tuesday's for most games while Sunday's usually for Nintendo games.
FE's situation's a bit odd and shipment's kinda screwy for it. Some today/tomorrow and some Friday I hear (for worst case scenario).

 

[Mr. Johan]

I went to my Gamestop and they apparently don't have any notice as to when the game is supposed to come in.

I'm checking back later tonight, but if it's not there, I'm dropping the pre-order.

 

[ndayday]

eShop master race.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

I'd rather be able to hold it as a physical object. There is no reason downloading a rom should cost the same price as a physical object

 

[Lythium]

I got mine a few days ago (because Canada), and just started playing it.

SO GOOD.

Productivity has ended.

 

[Delta-cod]

I'm kinda glad I have to wait on the shipping. I'm super busy with coursework this week. @_@

 

[Lord Viper]

[FONT=&quot] I canceled my preorder at GameStop and got it from Best Buy. XD [FONT=&quot]★[/FONT][/FONT]

[FONT=&quot] Currently on Ch. 3. Kind of sad I won't be getting the art book, but oh well, they should've had it at the release date. )=< [FONT=&quot]★[/FONT][/FONT]

Gotta wait until later this week for my parents to drop my pre-ordered copy off for my birthday. Which is good in a way since I don't yet know if the delays effected my local Gamestop as well as I'm not done with FE12 just yet (stupid rom image keeps crashing just as I'm about to seize the throne!).

So how's the game so far story wise? I know the basics but I'm curious as to how it all fits in with the past games such as the difference between Medeus and Grima.

 

[~Firefly~]

So am I, but I got it today and I've been playing it from around 11:30 to 6:30, except during class, and the ~15 minutes I took to eat lunch. I just beat Chapter 5.

No regrets.

 

[Delta-cod]

Have you been Handaxed yet?

 

[~Firefly~]

I reset once in Ch. 5 because I neglected to consider that an enemy fighter had a Hand Axe, and so Miriel died as a result. That was due to negligence though, not bad RNG, so I'm not too salty about it.

EDIT: NEVER MIND, just got my first reset caused by a BS critical.

It was a Hand Axe.

 

[Delta-cod]

I don't think you understand how hard I just laughed.

 

[~Firefly~]

Oh, how I wish I was joking...

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

Well, Fire Emblem had probably the worst launch day in game history.

I'm still waiting for a physical copy.

Partially because I think this was a ploy to promote eshop download

It's a conspiracy

 

[Lythium]

More like, they screwed up the shipping most likely. Happens all the time, especially with Nintendo games.

Only played a bit yesterday because of irl stuff, but it's awesome so far. Just finished Chapter 2.

 

[Rutger]

I doubt that Canada would have received it early if Nintendo was trying to push eshop downloads.

Several places in the US do have it already as well.

The worst Nintendo could probably be accused of right now would be underestimating the demand for this game.

Also, there's this.

You might get some English if you play in Japanese. The solution seems to be to just toggle the language option, maybe a few times.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

According to what I read, Canada wasn't suppose to receive it early

 

[Lythium]

No, but Canada got it early anyway, and then there was no street date, so it was sold before the 4th.

It generally takes Canada longer to get stuff though, so I'm not complaining.

 

[Ussi]

I'm gonna ignore this thread until i have this game. See you all in a week.

 

[Rutger]

Called my Gamestop and they said Friday.

Seems like a common response. Oh well, I can wait. As long as it's by the ninth.

 

[Minato]

Finished Shadow Dragon this morning, and I also have an essay due tomorrow. So the delay isn't too much of an issue for me.

 

[~Firefly~]

This game has so much content, it's kind of ridiculous. Between the chapter maps, sidequests, skirmishes, and DLC, I have a hard time choosing what to do next. =s

 

[Mr. Johan]

I'm tempted to just get the digital copy. I've got the artbook already and so I'm just waiting for now.

I do have internet stuff about it to keep me engaged however, like BitF's latest strip.

[sakuraZaKi]

I'm very tempted to get it digital, too.

With the whole shipping shebang, no one knows when we'll actually get them. Also, I don't have it preordered, so I'm on the short end of the stick on physical copies, maybe adding on to the amount of days until I can snag one.

 

[Ussi]

Blah i know i don't want to be here but..

Its always that unit you bring as a filler that just decides to get +5 stat level ups for 5 levels straight. Fricking i don't want to use you but you won't stop getting good level ups.

Also i'd buy using the eshop if i owned a 3ds already :[

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

The only people that get XP usually on my teams are archers, cavaliers, and knights

and occasionally priests

'cause knights are my favorite class

 

[Minato]

Since the bundle isn't going to be available until Friday, I'm restarting my FE5 file.
I forgot how hard this game was. Especially after finishing FE11.

 

[jamlosingthegame]

I'm apparently not getting my bundle for 3 weeks. =/

I was hoping to play a lot in the beginning of this semester for me since I usually don't have a lot of work, but I guess that's not happening. I'm more worried if I'm still gonna be able to get the first DLC free by then.

lol wat? XD ★

At least they pointed out how much I really hate leveling him up, I almost hate it as much as recruiting him, hopefully he's worth it. ★

 

[Raziek]

Have you SEEN the man's growths?

105 HP, 75 Str, 35 Mag, 65 Skl, 70 Spd, 100 Luck, 65 Def, 40 Res!

As long as aptitude is on, which it has no reason not to be. Just gotta get him past his bases. Kellam to cover Str/Def or Lon'Qu to cover Speed are best for it.

 

[telemaster]

^ those are boss stats right

 

[Delta-cod]

Yeah, they are.

He's guaranteed HP and Luck on every level up, in addition to having really high chances of raising HP, Skill, Speed, and Def.

 

[Raziek]

Boss as in amazing, yes.

Also I had to restart because I'm playing on the pre-installed version!

Oh well. Remade my avatar with +Magic -Defence, as I found his offensive growths lacking with +speed -luck

 

[zyth]

that aint no Edward tho

 

[telemaster]

wow I meant as in noun holy **** LOL

 

[Raziek]

Bosses don't level lol.

Donny has Aptitude as a skill, gives him +20 on all growths.

And that kicks the **** out of Edward, what are you even talking about?

 

[telemaster]

derp that was growths not stats
