Gaming Fire Emblem Hype Thread

[gamefan5]

Gotta luv Eb games canada for having Copies of it. Got mine there. Even ONE best buy out of my whole city (montreal) had copies. Shipment delays suck. XD

I gotta say, the actual animated sections are amazing looking. I literally never skip the opening segment of the game, it just looks and sounds so goooooood

Been playing this all afternoon. Ended up restarting on Hard (which I advise any veteran to this game to do,) since Normal was too damn easy. Sure it would have picked up but meh meh, games like this should be difficult not a cake-walk. Only issues i"m having is determining whether a class is a base class or an advance class, since I don't want to waste xp on advance classes so early in the game.

Gotta love that perma-death feature, I literally felt regret That I let one of my people die. Cant remember his name, but its that lv 5 guy that people never seem to notice.
I felt so bad ;O;

 

[DaggerV]

Lol I use him as bait, hasn't died yet. My pegasus knight chick came damn close though. Been tag teaming with mages though, they're brutal. Made my character negative be HP but he doesn't seem too far behind everyone else in that terms, it's wierd.

I'm having the bundle to be shipped to my abode and I have yet to receive the e-mail that it's shipped. Then again I pre-ordered pretty late so I might not even get one/

 

[McHaggis]

I can't believe we don't have a release date over here. I can't even find it for pre-order on most sites. I guess I'll just have to pre-order Pokémon Fire Emblem: Awakening from Amazon UK until an actual Fire Emblem game shows up. Not sure if I feel like playing a Pokémon x Fire Emblem game, though.

I was under the impression you could endlessly re-class in this game. therefore boosting stats beyond what's typical of past FE games.

Demo reminds me of conquest...
Is this type of gameplay the same in the full version?

 

[Scott-105]

I'm only on chapter 5 (I think anyway) but I'm really enjoying if so far. I like the free DLC you can get, though it's rather challenging. And the side story is cool too.

That's right.

The demo comes straight from the full game, yes.

 

[DaggerV]

Ah, that's interesting, makes it that much harder to decide who to bring

 

[Kikirini]

Sigh, still waiting to pick up my copy... ;3; very envious of the rest of you...

 

[DaggerV]

Man I wish I lived in cities were 3DS is popular, I need some street passes :Lol:

The only thing that bothers me about this game (based off the demo) is the lack of optional touchscreen input for commanding and moving your units. I mean, come on, that was the thing I was most excited about for this game. I understand they wanted there to be a 3D effect on the grid, but it's not that pronounced, and they could have at least made it optional to have it on the bottom screen with touch controls. Besides, the battle animations provide enough of a good 3D effect as it is.

Anyway, I'm really excited for this game. I haven't played much of Fire Emblem except for Lyn's story in the GBA game, but I really enjoyed this demo. I'm not going to pick it up until I've cleared out a good number of games in my backlog (I just finished Skyward Sword, I'm about halfway through aLttP, and after I want to at least take care of Metroid Prime 2 and Super Mario Galaxy).

Don't agree with this in the slightest. This is the 3DS, not the DS, and the grid is the entire game. I don't think there's any reason to accommodate superfluous touch controls here. They'd have had to reformat the view, modify the UI, and probably lots of other unnecessary and awkward things to give you the option to play on the bottom screen. It's a completely unreasonable expectation in this instance.

How on earth would simply allowing the grid to be on the bottom screen mean they would have to reformat everything? They could just do it as an option. Seriously, the only difference are the resolutions of the two screens... And if they built the game from the beginning with options for both in mind, it would be a non-issue. There's literally no reason for them to have NOT taken advantage of touch screen controls in a turn-based strategy game that takes place on a grid, of all things.

To console myself till Fire Emblem Awakening hits the UK in April, I have been replaying the old games, which renewed my appreciation of the FE soundtrack.

Here's a link to my remix of the Fire Emblem main theme

[BORTZ]
