BTW, here's your 10 year old dragon girl. I seriously doubt we can pass that off as "18" especially when dragons are much older.

Meh... Outside of her body, her face doesn't really make her look like a 10 year girl. I expected something much worse.

She also behaves like a child. Maybe they can edit it to a stork bring them their baby.

Nono doesn't even come close to matching some of the older looking 15 year old girls.



She's 15, but changed to 18 just because there's a romance sim in it.



Also 15 changed to 18. This game especially since romance is very subtle.

Picked up my copy this evening. Cancelled my Amazon pre-order as they weren't going to deliver until Saturday. Would much rather support my local, independent shop anyway.

First FE experience and I'm enjoying it quite a lot. Game is quite beautiful, although the lack of feet is weird, it plays well (not that I'd know the difference) and the story is interesting (only 1h20m in though).

[Cow Mengde]

Oh man, I just saw pictures of Ike and Micaiah and they look terrible compared to the original Wii in-game 3d models.

[Peff]

Ardan! Looks like there's a lot of FE4 love for the Spotpass characters. Nice bit of fanservice with this too.

EDIT: oh wow lolololol you're right. They're clearly modified My Unit models.

[Cow Mengde]

I fear for Siguird's 3D model.

Unless they're pulling my leg in serenes forest, you can sort of do homosexual couples. At least the support thingy sounds rather suggestive.

Is there not an Import Thread? I know there are some of us who are importing and others who are actually in Japan who are playing it so it would be nice to have a central location to discuss the game.

I'm getting the Special Pack but I ordered it from NCSX and I'm not exactly sure when they are shipping it out although it should be today or tomorrow depending on when they get their stock.

Somebody start one then.

Those toilet knights are ridiculous.

It's not mandatory though. She's only an option, right? Simply turn that option off and it's solved? Make a replacement waifu with the extra characters they are working on anyway?

Was thinking this as well. If it's option don't see why this couldn't just be disabled if Nintendo of America doesn't want to deal with the potential headache. Though characters that appear child like but are older isn't a new concept at all and I don't think would be an issue in the US. Another option is to simply change the character art for her. Or just change the age. This can be dealt with easily.

Oh man, I just saw pictures of Ike and Micaiah and they look terrible compared to the original Wii in-game 3d models.

Well, at least Micaiah still has her outfit colors. Ike for wathever reason is wearing green and white. The only thing that makes him resemble himself aside from the portrait is the hair color. I hope it's just because he's only an allied unit, and if we get a playable version of him from spotpass, he'll be in his own colors, even if the model still is that one.

And, of course, they're all generic units because they're just enemies and npcs. I don't think anyone has posted pictures of one of the 120 the spotpass units yet, but I guess they'll also look generic - or even look the same as those enemies. The only ones with custom models are going to be the paid DLC ones, like zombie Marth.

Working on it as we speak/type...

[Hasemo]

Got my copy today, along with Code of Princess, but since the story in CoP is short I guess I'll clear it before booting FE.

Where can I find the screens for the cameo characters?

[PataHikari]

It's the developers responsibility to create a balanced and challenging game with accurate skill measurement, not the players responsibility to make sense out of the typical imbalanced mess RPG devs leave behind.

Remember, according to your standards, any game that you can transfer saves is unbalanced. If you choose to take the easy way out, that is your fault.

I await your thread with excitement. My copy isn't here yet as it only shipped yesterday but I can't wait to see some more detailed opinions. ^^

I need this fucking game.

Oh man, I just saw pictures of Ike and Micaiah and they look terrible compared to the original Wii in-game 3d models.

Been saying that the 3D models and animations aren't all that impressive as some people like to praise. But FE models have always been lackluster so that isn't an issue anyways.

You ignore my post, repeat the "it's the player's fault" apologizing, and accuse me of something I've never said (citation needed).

[Mr. Fix]

Oh man, I just saw pictures of Ike and Micaiah and they look terrible compared to the original Wii in-game 3d models.

Are they actual dlc? Or do we just fight them? I'm kinda confused on that list posted on the last page.

[Cow Mengde]

I never thought the visuals were all that impressive. The animation is downright disappointing with only 6 or so templates spread out for various classes. At least they're not as bad as the GBA games. I'd rather there be no animation if we're stuck with that crap again.


The special characters are DLC and some are spot pass characters.

[NeonZ]

Are they actual dlc? Or do we just fight them? I'm kinda confused on that list posted on the last page.

The only actual paid DLC character out so far is Marth. There are also "spotpass" characters though - there are 120 of those announced, they have portrait, names, abilities and weapons based on past FE characters, but don't have custom models or their own classes, unlike Marth. The spotpass characters and the guest allies and enemies in the DLC stage also just reuse old art for their portraits, while the actual playable paid DLC, Marth, has new art.

So far, all spotpasses are FE4's first generation though (Sigurd, the lord from that game, is a Paladin here). Ike is just an unplayable allied unit in the DLC stage and Micaiah is just an unplayable enemy so far. Both will end up as spotpass characters later on though, at least, but so far they aren't playable at all.

Starlord Marth


Mercenary Ike (Allied unit, that's probably why he has the odd green colors)


Mage Micaiah (Enemy unit)


Here's Levin's (a spot pass character taken FE4) status screen:


The interesting bit here is that he actually comes with a version of a legendary spell from FE4. Same goes to most other FE4 spotpass characters. So, we'll likely see new legendary items taken from other games alongside the future spotpass characters, even if they just have the generic classes - like how Micaiah is just a "mage", Ike just "mercenary" and Sigurd went from a horse riding lord to just a paladin.

[blurrygil]

So I started a general discussion thread. Hope it doesn't get locked:

Fire Emblem: Kakusei (Awakening) - A Tale of Swords & Dragons Being 10 Year Olds

Anyways, let's keep this thread on topic of DLC. :-)

Enjoy!

[Cow Mengde]

We can actually talk about DLC in the DLC thread now. Roy and Leaf gets new art.

[AlphaDragoon]

Roy looks like such a boss.

[Tenbatsu]

There's a new panel for this game for the japanese Mii Plaza. Just got it today
