Henry, John, Tom, Tiger Lilly, Lion, Scarecrow, Randolph, Queequeg, Fox, and Calipha are the ten we know of then I think.
I'm guessing we might see Tin Man then to fit with the other two Oz dudes, although he might be redundant since John has the "tin man" going on. Maybe Dorothy is also in alongside him for the whole party.
I'm also wondering if Lincoln becomes a playable character at one point beyond his mecha.
12 isn't too bad, I guess. I'd love to see more, but I guess unlike Fire Emblem with loads of characters this game is made so each individual character is more focused, so a smaller number is a positive.
If you glance at the eShop, you'll get your answer. It says available at midnight. All retail stuff is available at midnight.
Sorry, that was a stupid question.
Now I gotta decide to go physical or digital. I feel like I'd never get around to this game much if it's physical, since other games like Monster Hunter stay so comfy in the game slot...but I also have a GameStop Gift Card to use...
Only 8390 blocks too, so I have plenty of room too...
