This is my favourite change, no more bullshit reinforcements at the start of the enemy phase.
Can't wait for this game.

Can't wait for this game.
DEATH TO SAME-TURN REINFORCEMENTS!

My strats in spoiler:
I rushed Takumi with my Kamui/Joker pair and defeated him the turn before he activates the Dragon Vein, it allowed me to stay bunkered up and blockade the right side of the map more effectively as well as have better control of how the enemies could attack me.

I'm still thinking about the dilemma, I haven't made up my mind way from the initial announcement.

I actually look forward to Fates. At first i had a big grudge against Awakening, because of the stupid forced dialogue and the annoying characters but right now i am in my 4th or so replay and i quite like it.
It´s kinda endearing to pair up your favorite characters and max out stats, even if all you get from it, is clumsy written animu kitsch. Its nice to see how pairs get stronger gameplaywise while they´re also getting closer storywise. I skip all the storysequenzes though.
If i can get a similar experience out of fates Im in.

This is so true. Maybe my biggest gripe with the game. Does Fates look any better in this regard?
There was nothing like the bolded in the game, but yeah, from what I know your issues with awakening are also present in fates.
Shin Kibayashi pls.
Sadly we're still waiting
It's super weird considering the special edition was announced at the same time as the American one, but they got a date and we didn't.

The wait for this game is just getting harder and harder. And I imagine we won't be getting it in the EU for another 2 months after the US. Awakening released Feb 4th in the US and April 19th in the EU
Nowi trope have always exist from the first FE though.
Loli Tiki,Fae and Myrrh is one of those example lol.

That release for Awakening in the west was a success because of this release dates which is why I think they're doing the same for Fates tbh.

Still no date for Europe?
I keep hearing "april" (like awakening) i hope not... I hope it will be end of february or march (in fact they already revealed the collector edition for europe, but still no date).
For information, the size of the game (in term of blocks) and i mean THE THREE GAMES and DLC maps = Xenoblade chronicles on N3DS

The story is actually worse IMO. Like hilariously so bad I was thinking "What the fuck is this shit?" almost every other mission. You have to really turn off your brain to play this game. I was able to do it successfully for a while, until a couple of the "twists" in the story came and I couldn't take it anymore.
Base building is also a pointless addition. I would rather have had a couple more story missions (with the story at the bare minimum) than get that fanservice pandering crap like going to the onsen, petting girls with the stylus, etc. Even the non-pandering stuff in your base just straight up isn't fun. Oh look, I can draw lottery tickets for some lame prize, feed apples to a dragon (or whatever it is), and so on...Really just unnecessary filler on the whole.
The actual gameplay was pretty good though...

The only things that bother me are the amiibo dlc.
I WANT LUCINA and not the "lucina marth form" but i need the adaptater for 3DS AND the amiibo? F*** them!

Heh that's rather disappointing considering that developers talked about how they wanted to make the story better. Also I would like to know if enemy reinforcements of any kind are back?
LoL fuck that.

they're was in awakening no? I'm playing chapter 16 currently on Hard and there is reinforcement
You were talking about awakening and Nowi is in the game, so that part was right
Anyway I don't think there's that kind of character in fates, but I haven't been following the game since the Japanese release.

i hope my "café gaming" in my city will let me for some money use the lucina amiibo just for that ^^

I'm kind of tired of those who claimed tat FE have changed just because of "boobs". I mean, the gameplay is still the same and good and apparently it's even better in Fates...
Are you not playing the game just because of "loli" or the big sister in Nohr? Because that's ridiculous...

I'm surprised how much people care about the story in Fire Emblem.
Because most of the time, it's actually not that important. Only Radiant Dawn and Seisen no Keifu make me care about the story IMO

That's good to hear. I'm still salty they did this like a Pokemon release except you know the games are actually different in a significant way, and there is that 3rd campaign and there was no other way to actually buy them together aside from a Special Edition that sold out while I was away from the Internet. But yeah....

Soundtrack is pretty good so far

The special edition will never be in stock will it?
Nice. I really liked Awakenings and all the music from the trailer has been spot on. This thread is going to make the wait tougher on me haha.
The true way, my man.
Was this really supposed to be directed at me? I was just answering his questions, I actually agree with you.
I don't think the game changed as much as people say, and missing on a game you would otherwise like for those reasons doesn't seem like a good choice to me, but in the end I don't care, people can make their decisions.
I could write a wall of text listing the reasons why I think most of the complaints directed at awakening are unfair without convincing anyone, or I could just enjoy playing my favorite fire emblem game.

Some of the changes from awakening have made me more optimistic and I've accepted the characters and story are never going to be as good as they were pre-awakening. Wish they game came to eu earlier because I see other games taking priority over it.
To be fair, most of FE's story are bad, especially for a tactical.

I'm in the beginning of awakening. Classic stresses me out.
Is resplendent mode good paired with hard difficulty? I don't want to just steam roll through every battle. I want to be challenged, but not stressed over losing units.

I think i will play Birthright before and then Nohr and then Revelation on Hard mode.
The good news is that apparently there is NINE slots of save =D (am i right?)

Yes, there are 9 save files which is great.
And I'll play the games in that same order, I've been planning to start with Hoshido since the beginning.

April 2016 in Europe, boooo.
At least it'll give me time to beat Awakening, which I greatly enjoy. Still in the middle of maxing out all the relationships. It's my persona-habit leaking through.

I'd still rather have a new Advance Wars but oh well.

Ooops my bad, I was sure it was April 2016 but after checking NoE didn't actually give a release date (February 19th in US though)
Great hearing they've improved the gameplay. My first FE game was Awakening, so I have nothing to compare to and loved the FE:A quite a lot. I managed to snag the special edition and with the game coming out on my birthday, it's pleasant surprise gift for myself.
Gonna start off with Birthright -I prefer Hoshido's design over Nohr's.

Well... I think
there is the dark mage Nyx from Conquest, though I think in her case, she looks young because of a curse placed to make her not age visually, and even then she really doesn't look that young to qualify as loli

Good to know.
I'm still angry at Shibata, I need a release date, and I need it close to the US date. I hate this shitty date differences that Nintendo so many times pulls off.
