speed up 2x max on regular Nintendo 3DS.

Thank christ. Did they say when the patch was hitting? Now maybe there will be a few less people pretending like you totally for serious need the time to keep track of enemies.

uhhh

can the regular 3DS not handle the game moving faster? don't care if the framerate goes to shit

but yeah, 2X is still good enough for this game to get into "will get eventually" territory now
 
2x on an OG sounds like just what I most desired. Hopefully Nintendo's account service will be ready by the time I get a New 3DS so I can get the game on my system to see it run even faster!

Must be an April's Fools since it was so impossible
:p

I wonder if the European release will have it in the card. Most likely not, but hopefully it won't take too long.
 
I'm playing this game and I love it, but that's been such a killer, and I was just thinking today "What are the chances they'd patch something like this in?"

I'm going to hold off on continuing until this patch I think.

May seriously pick this up now. Wait times were a bit much in the demo. Speaking of which, I wonder if they'll patch the demo version as well since I can imagine seeing the faster enemy turn time would sell a few extra copies...

Wondering if anyone will do any re-reviews considering a huge knock was the wait times. Got a rough shake the first time through.

Yeah, I was wondering the same thing. It's not like the game has to calculate the AI's logic 3 times faster, it just has to move the models around quicker. But what do I know?

You can transfer your stuff from one console to another...

This will make the game so much better!

Listen everyone, this game is great, and they just fixed the #1 gaping flaw.


I wonder when we'll see the update!?!

I'm going to take a wild guess and say the EU version comes with this when it launches.

Edit: If not physical at least via instant patch.

It wasn't the main reason I decided to wait on the game for now, but this is good and makes me more likely to get.

I buy cakes for myself on my birthday it's not weird lots of people do it I bet
This is Watch Da Birdie's GOTY 2015.

Pick this up now that they've removed the biggest barrier for many players.

Definitely doesn't make things up as he goes along.
I missed this! That's awesome news. I'm only on Ch 3 so right in the nick of time.

Hopefully this is in time for the EU release. Although I'm thinking it'll just be a day 1 patch here. Still good enough though.

If this is true I'll absolutely be picking it up after I see impressions.

This looks like exactly my kinda game but the loading in the GB quick look was paaaaainful.

my copy is still unopened heheh. not because of the slow turns issue. just didn't have time to dive into it with the recent game releases. this is the one game, I think, that deserves my full attention

when I finally start the game, I'll have the best possible experience with 3x
 
Do those Fire Emblem characters only get added in battle through NFC, or can they be appended permanently to your party through tapping the amiibo once? I feel like this game would be really fun with those characters but I don't have any of those amiibos

You need to tap them every time they die or, I think, every new mission.

You only need to tap them once, BUT if you use them in the game and they die you have to tap them again. If they don´t die you can use them forever

The monumentally stupid waiting time for the enemy turn to end was the only thing I didn't like about the demo. But it as a massive enough design failure that I didn't get the full game.

I will now!

This is really awesome, probably the biggest issue with the game. Though I wish they'd also add an option to require confirmation for your actions (like, you have to press L twice to attack....I've accidentally attacked on so many occasions by hitting L when I didn't want to). I also wish you could map ABXY to functions, there are certain things that are only mapped to the touch screen but ABXY are basically useless if you're on a N3DS. There are other things that I feel makes the game unintuitive. But just this is probably the biggest problem with the game so I'm happy.
