Just go with luck as the flaw since robin(avatar) will still have a nice 42 max luck lol.

Indeed. Do we cap at 20k posts?
From my understanding, it's GAF protocol to continue OTs in a new thread when we reach 20k. I doubt there'd be an exception in this case, so there's going to have to be a new thread sometime soon if that's the case.

Checked Bart Smit's and Intertoys' sites and they don't even have the game listed. I don't think that bodes well.. They usually have their sites updated in time for bigger releases. Free Record Shop had is listed as a pre-order yesterday and an expected delivery of two-three weeks.
Didn't NOA fuck up the US release like this too?
It's about the only game I'm interested in for 3DS. Was going to buy it on hype today, but no stock anywhere...
Yes, actually. 8-4, the team that localized the game, had asked this question to Intelligent Systems in an interview that was held in January.
Well, both are garbage compared to the ultra special Japanese one that you can buy, only problem is that in's moon language.
Those digital sales.
Sigh i don't like to go digital. Also i still have some vvv coupons to spent. But indeed this doesnt bode well. I saw on the eshop that somebody has posted 5 star review for Fire Emblem on the dutch eshop that lucky basterd
thanks for that, must admit i find it completely jarring when watching cutscenes. so weird that no one during development said "this looks wrong, fix it".
In a way, yeah, they didn't want to go through that trouble apparently late into the development. Supposing there will be another Fire Emblem game for the 3DS, I expect they won't do this again.

Dat Nintendo account system.
Also, I prefer cheaper (physical) copies.
Oh well, I'll check some local stores tomorrow, maybe I'm lucky.

I decided to visit some stores today to see if perhaps they already had the game one day in advance.
Mediamarkt was already selling the 3DS XL bundle ,but I didn't see normal copies.
They told me they only had one separate copy ,but they couldn't find it.... until I spotted it between some other new games they didn't put on display yet.
Guess I got lucky.
Still. It kinda worries me that they only got one copy and would have to wait until next week for more.
So it's not just Mediamarkt with the lack of stock.
I didn't get any artbook. I guess we dutchies won't be getting it...

Heads up for us Dutchies; GameMania won't receive enough copies because Nintendo doesn't have enough stock available. My copy won't arrive until next week

Is there anybody in the UK who'd be interested in this event?
Nintendo and GAME announce Multiplayer Mayhem events
Just started Chapter 8!
Hmm, which units to focus on...

I might hang around outside trying to get streetpasses, but I'm not really sure exactly what the event is about.

if you pair up two characters, the one behind never gets any xp, at least as long as their bond is too low and he cant do dual strikes, is that right?
so I need to switch them regularly for best results, right?
its useless to pair up a ranged and a melee, correct?
forging is useless, too, right? unless you're incredibly rich

No kidding, just thought the same thing.
Dual Strikes can occur within any Pair Up group, the chance is random but it improves with better bonds. When the secondary unit does attack, they do earn experience points, but never as much as if they were the primary.
Dual Strikes disregard range, so an Archer can use bows to Dual Strike even if the primary is attacking an adjacent enemy.
Forging can be useful if you can afford it.

Plus dual strikes just look cool.
This. Especially Dual Striking Assassins.
So I was reminded today why I hate buying physical games in stores. Went to the local gameshop after hearing the game hit the shelves, but the guy behind the desk was being a smug-ass bastard. I could tell he had it, and having working in a gameshop myself, I know he could've sold it. I wasn't about to start begging him though, but since I had some spare credit at this particular store I wanted to get rid of I decided to get 65,- worth of e-shop points instead.
This will be my first digital full-game Nintendo purchase. Have to admit it feels a little weird, but I already switched to digital with Steam and PSN, so it's the logical next step. And as Fire Emblem will be one of those games I wanna have on my console at all times, it's probably more convenient to have it digitally as well.
Only 3 more hours before it unlocks, can't wait to play it!
Any recommendations on difficulty level? This will be my first Fire Emblem game, but I have played through all Advance Wars games before. I like a challenge and I don't mind characters dying I think, since it will add to the drama.

Add Stahl to my death pile, he wasn't going strong enough for me to bother resetting for, he will be sort of missed, hmm 3 perma deaths already, at this rate how are the ladies going to have enough male partners to go around?
Fun game though, I finally feel as if my core units are getting strong enough to not crumple to pieces when the action heats up, Chapter 7 coming up next, still holding out for some kind of axe user to fill the void in my merry band of misfits.

And, we're back!
Tell me about it. I'm going to hate myself for some time after having to delete my first playthrough, since I need the open space for a new female run for ALL THE SUPPORTS EVER.
Who's going to do the OT2? OP's banned
If no one else wants to do it, I can do a quick c+p/edit or whatever for OT2.
I think you'd be fine with hard/classic. From what I've heard, normal is too easy, and lunatic is a pain in the ass (personal experience). Hard is reasonable.
Such an awesome preorder, I am cry we never got that (that hard cover) ;-;
Yeah, may as well keep Lord of the RNG.

would be a nice title :lol:
I have received my copy today. So excited I haven't played a Fire Emblem game since Shadow Dragon. I just put it on my 3DS from the starting intro movie I was blown away. Yusuke Kozaki did an amazing job on the new art style of the game, it's also familiar from the no more heroes games that I love so much.
Ok now I better go and play some. I almost forgot to mention that I received a pre order bonus with my copy. It was this beautiful artbook. Enjoy.
Can you please post some scans so we can see what they included?
Why does NoA suck so much?

I agree. We can do waifu wars in OT3!
Oh man, working PAL reinforcements into the title would be awesome.
Well, Casual Mode is called Newcomer Mode in the European version, I think. "Lord of the RNG" is going to be hard to beat for a subtitle, though.
I pm'd duckroll to know if making a new thread now would be ok.
I'd be honored to do one, and since the OP is REALLY well made, maybe a copy/paste is the best solution anyway. I doubt Mr Fix would be against that.
Edit : unless of course someone has been preparing something ^^

wait a minute, sometimes two characters attack after each other. this is not the same as a dual strike?
and something else: sometimes a character attacks twice, why is that?
dakkumauji

You're welcome to make OT2 since no one else seems gun-ho about it and that means less work for me.
That's dual strike.
Attacking twice is either through having a brave weapon or the character has 5 more speed than the enemy.
Dual Strike refers to when the secondary unit attacks right after the primary unit.
Every unit is able to attack an additional time if they are faster than their opponent by 5 Speed or greater, or if they are wielding a weapon like a Brave Axe. This doesn't apply to Dual Strikes, which are single attacks that always follow the primary unit's attacks.
I like this.
