The reverse salt is going to be insane. Nobody had S supported yet so nobody knew for sure. Not like this will actually be controversial. I already said the game would probaby receive a (very hard) T regardless.

I was pretty much "whatever" on the feature, resulting in no comment in the original thread about the feature being excluded. This works though, makes sense and I certainly don't mind that you can get intimate with your FE main squeeze and not characters who would not--and should not be expected to--put up with such nonsense. That was the most offputting part of it.
Add: will see whatever is really going on with game when (if?) I get my CE from Best Buy

More for the rest of us who missed out then.
The communication about this feature has been a complete mess and whoever said it first that the mini-game was out needs to do better in the future.
But I do find hilarious the people who are all "pre-order cancelled" though so at least I'm getting a kii or two out of the whole situation =P

My Godness, what a disgrace they should shoot themselves in the foot over this!
Don't worry, its optional.
Optional, as in "no gameplay benefit at all"?
A very very small support boost (which, if you're already married, is moot, since that means support is maxed) and some accessories, which are also silly bonus things.
That's good to know.
Their description of Revelations sounds really good. I've always liked the rogue paths that cause your teammates to leave, etc. I really liked it in the Der Langrisser in particular. However, they are seeing that you need to own both your physical cartridge AND the other path as DLC in order to buy Revelations. That isn't true, right? I can do Conquest and then Revelations?
As a FE fan since before Awakening and someone looking forward to this quirky feature for what it is (a quirky feature), and as fun as it is to watch people squirm in unease/rage/whatever about the petting, in context of the game there is truth to the comments that it doesn't make a lot of sense to be petting everyone in your army willy-nilly, so if it's just narrowed down to just whoever you waifu/husbando, I'm really fine with that.
I guess I won't be immediately flipping my LE preorder now. Probably.
Not unbuckling my seat belt yet, though. After all this I'm not convinced this ride is over yet.

I might if I could really get $200 for it like someone mentioned.

Art can be as creepy or as not creepy as you want because its art and it's not real
If you like loli octopus girls with dragon wings who the fuck am i to judge?

I'll take certain conditions versus not at all.
Not like it mattered anyway.
But hearing folks canceled their pre-orders and now people are canceling their pre-orders.
Strange place this world is.

I really don't understand why anyone would cancel a seemingly actual Limited Edition of a game for this reason. Being disappointed is one thing but since the feature means nothing in the grand scheme of things, why would you go this far and outright cancel something you know full well you won't get a chance to get back?
I won't use the feature at all and still think it's silly but I know some are going to be happy so at least there's that.

So I'll be able to rub Camilla's face after all?
I need a minute.

Happy for people who like that feature that it's still in.

I had that kneejerk reaction to cancel my order just because I can't abide by removing an entire game mode, but I saw what copies were selling for on the second hand market.
money > my feelings about their localization choices, apparently.
Nice to hear it's still in, and it makes much more sense that you would be softly rubbing the cheek of your betrothed only.

Huh can my female main be
then?
lesbian
Only in Birthright and Revelations. There's no gay option for women in Conquest and there's no gay option for men in Birthright.
Only in Birthright. While Conquest has malexmale option available.
Go for it.

So Game Xplain put a video up of the mini game, and there's no petting involved only the mechanic to wake up your spouse.

Looking like it's still censored after all.

wow that voice acting is horrendous
This isn't true. This was never going to happen.

Well from what I've heard most of the voice acting is pretty serviceable except for a couple characters.
Unfortunately, Felicia isn't one of them.

This was known the same day. It's the remnants of petting, though I guess you could tap the screen repeatedly instead. Some people were saying the face rubbing was gone entirely. The minigame people are thinking of is still gone but the concept technically exists when waking up your spouse.
Felicia's voice acting isn't that great which is a bit unfortunate, that video made it pretty apparent.
So now people are saying swimsuits were removed as well, based on this video
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n6OBwp8uBVY&t=30m42s
Apparently the shop was rank 3 which should unlock the swimsuits, but the only thing available is a bath towel.
Can anyone familiar with the Japanese version confirm?

Swimsuits are part of the accessory shop and you can get one at Level 1, 2, and 3. Bath towel is available at Level 1.
You need different materials for each accessory.
Edit: I did the import OT and I'm doing the western OT and I haven't really been following the issue with the Western release. That's just info I know from playing the original JP release, I haven't seen the video you linked or whether or not the swimsuits are in the Western release.

I'd rather not have to rub any faces, or even have the option to. Who wants this in a game? How is this game mechanic fun or satisfying? Its just strange, to me. A weird nonsensical mechanic that has no actual parallel in the real world and doesn't provide apply properly to the strategy rpg genre
I honestly don't think this counts as censorship, because nintendo would be choosing to do it themselves. There is very little reason to get even slightly morally outraged over the concept of losing this mechanic.

Such new and enlightening insights that were never expressed or covered in any of the well over 100 pages regarding this topic by now.

i hope they go the non waifu/husbando route with the next FE but i doubt its gonna.
Yes, it is. And if they didn't hit the 250k sales target set for them, it would have.

Great. So I now I have to rub the screen with one hand and crank off with the other at the same time. Extremely annoying. Worst localization evar.

The chances of that were really slim, people always exaggerate the position the series was in. Even without the pandering and more focus on the cardboard anime cliche characters, a new, non-remake FE game with more appealing visuals than FE11/FE12 would have been almost guaranteed to sell over 250k. It might not have been the success Awakening was, but things weren't that dire.
The series problem was that Shadow Dragon was not very well received. Then another remake, Heroes of Light and Shadow, came across as more of the same and failed to make a splash despite having a lot of improvements (and didn't get localized, probably due to the reception of Shadow Dragon).

I always read that as 250k in Japan alone, especially considering that the most recent remake never left Japan and the wait for Western releases was a ways away.
{2010.07.12 - 2011.12.25} [NDS] Fire Emblem: New Mystery of the Emblem - Hero of Light and Shadow <SLG> (Nintendo) {2010.07.15} (¥4,800) - 147,045 / 250,592
In 76 weeks of tracking it did dead on 250k as a remake of the third game, one of the most popular in the franchise and on the DS which was a monster in Japan. Let's not pretend Fire Emblem has ever had remarkable visuals except maybe some pixel art animations in the GBA games. After all, it skipped the N64 for an Super Famicom game released in 1999 (2000 at retailers), fans didn't care.
There was definitely a situation. I don't think 250k in Japan was guaranteed, and I doubt Nintendo meant after a year and a half either.

It was still a direct sequel to a poorly received game that did little to differentiate itself unless you looked into the mechanics. And the visual style is remarkable in that it's widely considered to be terrible, in contrast to the mediocre to solid art in other games. Moving away from that visual style would have signified that the new game wasn't "more Shadow Dragon."
Most people even agree that casual mode is a major factor that drew people into the series, more so than the waifu shenanigans. That wasn't even introduced in Awakening, it was from FE12.
