Fire Emblem If/Fates

[Obsidian]

Well fuck me, that's tempting.

[Ratatapa]

Well fuck me, that's tempting.

Only 350$ canadian!

Only 350$ canadian!

Seriously, damn the conversion rate! I really am curious how much they'll release it for.

[Obsidian]

I expect it'll be $250 Canadian. If it's more than that I won't even consider it.

Physical Copy or download?
All 3 paths or just one?

That is pretty worth it, especially if its a physical copy. Buy the bundle and flip the unit for ~40 under retail.

Edit: Well shit, game not included. Thats a bugger. Scratch that idea.

[Obsidian]

Don't think the 3DS comes with the game.

[Eanae]

Damn. I just bought a plain black n3DS XL because there was no XL special edition announced. Sad losing my Pokemon Y special edition to upgrade.

[Rizil]

Put my order in for that new 3ds. Sucks the special edition FE sold out in minutes. I'm a sucker for limited editions.

[EternityEnd]

You know the Fates 3DS doesn't come with the game at all, right? Pretty raw deal.

[Rizil]

yea I know, just wanted the custom skin. Already have the game on preorder previously.

Eh, yes it is censorship, but I'd argue makes the game more Fire Emblem-y. I actually blame a lot of this content removal for international releases on tamogatchi life and the negative press it garnered for not being socially p.c.

That said, I don't mind it being excluded. I like the marriage/children element of FE but the waifu stuff has hit a breaking point for me and this makes it a "cleaner" Fire Emblem in my book

When did Fire Emblem start incorporating dating sim elements? I don't remember anything of the sort in the ones I played, but I haven't touched the series since like the GBA/gamecube era.

You missed Fire Emblem: Eugenics Simulator?

Well, you'd better hope they replace it with another way to raise support outside of combat or the NA version is just straight up nerfed even if you think it makes it more "Fire Emblem-y" even though the creators apparently don't.

[Obsidian]

That shit was weird and I'm not broken up about it being removed.

[Charismatic]

I mean, I don't really care much in so much as there's no way I'd ever buy a Fire Emblem game but I'm not going to pull the "I don't like it and therefore no one should have it" thing. I think its stupid to remove a feature (that actually has some effect on the core gameplay, mind you) without putting anything in its place when the content is just... headpats.

[Obsidian]

I don't think nobody should have it, I just didn't like it and personally don't care that it's gone. I guess for the folks who really wanted to repeatedly pat Tharja on the head it's a bummer, but this doesn't influence my decision to buy the game whatsoever.

As far as effecting the game, even if they didn't lower Support requirements in step with removing the petting, it's not hard to build supports.

[Obsidian]

I'd also like to add that the source of that article is Kotaku, so I wouldn't put too much stock in what it says.

[Obsidian]

Double also: here's some English gameplay from Polygon. Warning, Polygon is fucking awful at Fire Emblem.

All the English voices sound pretty good though.
