Hey guys, since FE:A is the only Fire Emblem Game I have played yet, do you think it would be a good idea for me to play the Nohr side after I complete the Hodoshi side or should I play a FE game that Nohr is design after, like the Radiant series?

I have acquired all 4 Fire Emblem Amiibo's!!!!!

TOGETHER WE RIDE!!!!!

I am yet to buy even one amiibo :/

Wait, how you get Ike amiibo?

As for how I acquired all 4 FE Amiibo's, let's just say I made a certain deal with someone........

I think you might be getting a few questions from @NonSpecificGuy.

The Japanese launch is some time in June. The NA launch is currently listed as 2016.

Wait, about about Australia? Where you find this information?

I actually just pre-ordered the Ike Amiibo from Amazon before it was released, and it was that simple.

PRACTICALITY!

[IAmMetaKnight]

I don't get it.

 

[Moydow]

I got my Ike amiibo by walking into a shop a few weeks after it was launched, and selecting the least ugly one from the 10 or so available.

 

[The Merc]

I just realised something. You say that you are all connected by invisible ties, bonds they keep you together and that you are all the chooser of your faith. I don't see it that way,

You are all puppets, tangled in string. String!

So your's wasn't cancelled unlike NSG's? Lucky.

That easy? I have a feeling I'm either going to easily find a Lucina amiibo...or I will never ever get one.

 

[Syrek]

INDEED!

[Moydow]

Each wave after the first seems to have two or three "least rare" amiibo, and then they only issue like 2 of each of the rest. Of that wave, Ike and Sheik were the most common, as I saw several of those in shops for weeks after their release, and was literally able to choose which one I wanted. In the current wave, it seems to be Charizard and Wario, so the odds of getting a Lucina or Robin aren't too high.

Doesn't mean I'm not going to be checking every shop in the city every day for the next few weeks on the off-chance that there is a spare Lucina or Robin lying around, though.

 

[Kotor]

I've never encountered a single Ike amiibo in any store since its release...

 

[IAmMetaKnight]

I don't get it.

INDEED!

;3

Bassie!?!?!!!?

 

[Zantetsugun]

The struggle for Amiibo's continues.

INDEED!

;3

Simply one h*ll of an Amiibo hunter...

 

[Strider_Bond00J]

I've been meaning to get Ike recently, but when we tried to get in contact with EB Games when the website claimed it was in stock, they replied saying we need to order online. Hopefully that window of opportunity comes sooner rather than later...

 

[Pega-pony Princess]

I've sort of given up on getting amibos. While it would be cool to start a collection, its too much of a hassle for me, especially since I dont have a job. I only have Link and Pikachu and I'm okay with that. Maybe someday I'll be able to get a Robin or Lucina amibo.

I've whittled my Amiibo dreams at this point to the four characters in my sig, and I'm starting to question Robin.

 

[WolfieXVII ❂]

Greninja amiibo is 40-250$ online
Toys R Us exclusive irl
dammit nintendo
I'm beginning to believe some amiibo are myths

 

[Deleted member]

I've given up on amiibos after when I waited on line for a damn hour and I couldn't get Robin. That annoyed me...

I already have Luigi and Shulk (as well as Kirby, Pikachu, and Mario), so I am good in terms of amiibos. Still, I would love to have Robin...
Nintendo, you will never learn with the amiibo, will you?

 

[LIQUID12A]

I've never encountered a single Ike amiibo in any store since its release...

Ike don't like you.

Ask your precious St. Garon to get you one if you're so desperate.

 

[redfeatherraven]

We talkin amiibo again? That reminds me, something I need to check on...

Before I go do that, how about I try to be informative?
The cereal box said these scholarly shades are perfect for that.

Instead of making the fanbase grow and solidifying Fire Emblem's place as a solid tier Nintendo franchise, I think that FE if will not perform nearly as well as Awakening.

Little surprised nobody responded to this. Welp. May as well.

Personally I think if will do just fine despite its complicated nature, because they're reiterating the important points just about every time we get new information - there's two versions (the third has been mentioned but not elaborated on per se so far, perhaps to limit the confusion somewhat), they tell two completely different stories, they play very differently, here's what you get with A, here's what you get with B. They're hammering it in.

The only issue I could see is if this does not extend to the final marketing materials, but it's such a distinguishing point of this game I doubt that'll happen.

To allay some of the other points, playing Nohr on Easy has been established as possible. And we've had a Hard Mode in every FE game since FE6 (most have several); they've proven very popular and I doubt Hoshido will buck that trend.

Whether if will perform as well as Awakening is yet to be seen, that much is true, but I think they've got a fair shot.

Hey guys, since FE:A is the only Fire Emblem Game I have played yet, do you think it would be a good idea for me to play the Nohr side after I complete the Hodoshi side or should I play a FE game that Nohr is design after, like the Radiant series?

You do have over half a year at minimum to prepare, so playing one of the older games would probably be beneficial.

However, unless you luck into another game somehow - a flea market or yard sale, perhaps - or are willing to do things I can't advocate per se, the only game you'll be able to reasonably get your hands on is Rekka no Ken - FE7, localized as simply "Fire Emblem." It's currently $8 on the Wii U VC.

 

[LIQUID12A]

>amiibos

>quality
>what's that

 

[IceAnt573]

I am going to take a complete guess at the Nohr path's story and say that the reason Garon and his supporters are invading Hoshido is because Hoshido (probably unknowingly) contains some power like the Fire Emblem or something that will cause the end of the world. Hoshido does contain some really unnatural things like floating islands with some that are upside down and sideways. This will probably be a late revelation in the story and everybody would just think Garon is an imperialistic jerk until then.

 

[Zantetsugun]

Amiibo scalpers be like

 

[Kotor]

Ask your precious St. Garon to get you one if you're so desperate.

You're a genius!

Oh, St. Garon. I pray to you seeking help. I have been struggling with acquiring the amiibo I have been hunting for since November. They are as follows: , , , , , , , , , , , and Gold .
I did not care if a NiB collector must be sacrificed to fulfill my wish. Do whatever it takes oh, great one!

 

[Célja]

I choked and imported an Ike from Japan, as well as for pre-ordering Robin and Lucina. The downside is that the Awakening ones won't get shipped till August. I may still try my luck at getting a Robin which I can get sooner because I really don't want to wait that long. Plus if I manage to get an extra, I might look into sending it in to get it customized into my female alt which I've seen some services for around the interwebs. If everything turns out well with it, I'd be willing to give someone else here my extra amiibo.

Though this is saying I'd be able to get an NA Robin on top of getting an extra Robin. Ideally this shouldn't even be an issue, but amiibos are pretty obnoxious to get in reality.

Ok. I have a job now, so I will be able to purchase at least one of the older games.

Oh, is that the one with Lyn in it? I really want to play that one. Is it available on the 3ds eshop or just Wii U?

You're a genius!

Are you sure that your precious St. Garon is just going to give them to you without a price?
Wait. Gold ?

I will provide to him the necessary sacrifices. Like scalpers and hoarders!

It was exclusive to Walmart and apparently North America. There's also a Silver Mario amiibo on the way.

Spoiler

That one does not appear to be exclusive in any retailer.

I mean, if you really want one, but I'm warning you now, it ain't pretty.

Spoiler: Not pretty

Me, I'd rather spend the $8.

Also, Rekka no Ken was where Lyn was introduced, it is Wii U Only, and yes it is baffling it's not on the 3DS as well.

Look at what I just found.

OH COME ON. WHY AMERICA? WHY?! *sigh* well, at least I can get the Silver one if I want too.

Now that is just a double blow. Not only are those games why to expensive, I am still yet to get a Wii U ;-;.

*deep sigh*

Well, at least I have a plan.

 

[Mr. Johan]

More evidence that St. Garon is indeed on the side of light! Why would people here even associate St. Garon on the side of evil? His singing only heals wounds, but according to the Gospel of St. Garon, the puppy saving selfless man's singing can even end tragedies!

If you read further, you will find that the Ancient Nohr Empire was destroyed by a great flood caused by an angry water dragon. St. Garon, upon learning of this tragedy, traveled back in time and sang to the evil water dragon a song that only those within the water dragon tribe would know and soothed the dragon's anger. The water dragon reverted back into her human form and went into a deep sleep. The Ancient people of Nohr blessed their future king with a medallion that contains a light-blue gem shaped like a droplet.

And that is how St. Garon saved Nohr from being erased from existence. If it wasn't for St. Garon, we wouldn't have people like Marx, Camilla, and even Kamui!

 

[Célja]

Silly Robin, that's not how you hold a book

 

[ThunderSageNun]

Nohr for glory? Pffft, more like for Garon

 

[LIQUID12A]

Silly Robin, that's not how you hold a book

She is practicing the art of physics defying.

Like Mewtwo.

Funnily enough, Gold Mario is pretty much common to order online where I live.
Most likely because he's at an unholy price, though. The average amiibo here costs around $30, while gold Mario is three times that price, and not many stores here are willing to sell amiibos, with Nintendo's 'please understand' stock.

 

[AirshBornely]

Everyone else has got the M-rated The Elder Scrolls and the Dragon Ages and the Mass Effects for their RPG needs.

But Nintendo has T-rated Fire Emblem and Xenoblade.

And Nintendo has proven that it only needs those two to leave their mark.

That's admirable as hell.

Fixed.

Just have him plough through them?
...oh, wait. Are those the Cross Knights? Yeah, that's not gonna end well. :/

Well...after many, many failed attempts...I was able to succeed. (Thank you in-game turn saves and save states) Eldigan was the most difficult... I learned the only way to beat him was with range weapons and then have someone do the final blow. Noish ended up doing it with the slayer lance.

Don't know if I wanna play this game anymore...

 

[LIQUID12A]

Wait a minute.

If you read further, you will find that the Ancient Nohr Empire was destroyed by a great flood caused by an angry water dragon. St. Garon, upon learning of this tragedy, traveled back in time and sang to the evil water dragon a song that only those within the water dragon tribe would know and soothed the dragon's anger.

Barring the irrelevant details I removed, this is a mishmash/ripoff of both The Rise Of Darkrai and Arceus And The Jewel Of Life.

And I thought your praises to Garon were original, at least.
