Support NeoGAF

[Spierek]

Thanks!

Grabbing this on day one, glad it releases after E3.

 

[LiK]

Phew, glad it's not GS exclusive

 

[sir_bumble_bee]

Yup, definitely subbing this thread. Can't afford to miss out on this like I did the Fire Emblem Fates SE

 

[Grim Patron]

Oh my. It will be mine, load times be damned.

For real, though, that's a pretty nice box.

Would I be correct in assuming that the soundtrack's a rough sketch version thing? Because that's what I'd expect from Atlus games.

Even JP got the same CD albeit with 9-20 second voice clips before each song.

There's a full vocal tracks CD they released. Also this is published by Nintendo afaik.

 

[Nachtfalke]

NoE boxes are not beautiful indeed with all that rating stuff, but atleast they are stable. NoA boxes are super flimsy, arriving broken most of the time.

 

[OnimaruXLR]

The cd has six songs on it. Six. Songs.

Pretty soon Atlus is going to include micro art books and cds with just the games themesong on them.

Are the songs even full length? Or are they half cuts like in the game?

 

[marmoka]

I hope they announce Shin Megami Tensei IV Apocalypse for Europe soon.

 

[BassForever]

I'll buy the dlc so is $10 worth it for a limited cd and some stickers? Will have to think about it

 

[kuroneko0509]

full length (at least in JP ones), so should be the same as this

 

[chicagocubsfan]

Judging by how fast the FE Fates preorders went, this is going to be crazy as well.

 

[mrmickfran]

I hope they announce Shin Megami Tensei IV Apocalypse for Europe soon.

Bother Atlus about that.

This is all Nintendo.

 

[sixteen-bit]

Neat, I wasn't expecting an LE

 

[ShyMel]

Will have to pre-order ASAP so I don't miss out like I did with the 3DS games' special edition.

 

[toythatkills]

Yeah that looks like it's worth an extra $20.

In what universe?

 

[Bots are better than you]

Bother Atlus about that.

This is all Nintendo.

Didn't Nintendo took care of SMT in Europe?

--

Oh well, i was on the rollercoaster that was FE: Fates LE and it's availability, why wouldn't i join the next one! *Rollercoaster of Love*

 

[tebunker]

Judging by how fast the FE Fates preorders went, this is going to be crazy as well.

Nah this isn't even on the same level. I still see Xenoblade Chronicles X SE on shelves at best buy.

 

[HawthorneKitty]

I'd probably compare it more to Xenoblade.

 

[ys45]

Nothing was mentioned in the press release. So probably during PAX East on Friday morning when people are playing the demo and the rest of the world is at work or on their way to work.

I could not have said it better myself

I'm going to keep this thread open and refresh it during the day I really want this collector .
Hopefully Il have better luck than FE Fates .

Also got a question to anyone who played the JP version, how is the game is it good ?
I know it's like FE series but is it as good as Fates ?

 

[Gaiaknight]

this is a nice collectors edition but im going digital on this one for sure.

 

[MikeDip]

Canada?

 

[mrmickfran]

Nah, NiS mostly handles Atlus games in Europe.

Its not like fire Emblem at all. Its a traditional jrpg like smt.

 

[dark_haze]

Had small hope they were still bringing this over and I'm glad that's the case.

Can't wait to get this!

 

[matmanx1]

I don't feel like I *have* to have a Special Edition for this game but since it includes the extra DLC and a couple of other small items, the extra $20 isn't bad. If I can snag one when it goes up on Amazon, I will. Otherwise I will just keep my standard edition pre-order.

 

[jph139]

In what universe?

$10 worth of DLC, $3 art book, $3 CD, $3 fancy box, $1 for stickers.

Fair price to me.

 

[muteki]

Nothing really exciting here for me, think I'll keep my regular edition pre-order.

Can probably pick up a better soundtrack elsewhere, and I'd rather see the DLC first before committing to purchasing it already. Who knows what might/might not make it over and in what state.

 

[ys45]

Its not like fire Emblem at all. Its a traditional jrpg like smt.

Oh really ? I thought it was a strategy game like FE from what I saw on screenshots I should have checked some game play videos ....

Which Il go do right now

 

[mobilesworking]

A big improvement over the XCX LE. I'll be having this, methinks.

EDIT: Didn't realize the CD has a measly six songs. Time to walk back my remarks!

 

[Ridley327]

A big improvement over the XCX LE. I'll be having this, methinks.

Really? While the art book wasn't a hardcover, the one in the XCX LE was pretty substantial at over a hundred pages and being a large format really helped.

 

[SmartWaffles]

Cute English title. SMT reverted.

 

[MrDaravon]

Soooooo no one knows that the DLC for this game was? lol Deciding factor for me; if the DLC was solid this becomes potentially worth it to me only because of the Prime discount. If not I'll pass and just snag a regular version if that (still on the fence entirely about the game).

Of course this is all assuming the SE goes up and stays up for a reasonable time while I am at a computer/phone and am aware of it, which I am sure will not be the case.

 

[UCBooties]

Can't find an Amazon link yet

With the DLC being priced at 1.99 each I can't see them being that worthwhile.

 

[mclem]

I can't wait it to be Game exclusive and £70 in the UK.

Well, at least they're usually Game and Nintendo Store exclusive.

 

[shadow2810]

Canada?

They are still trying to figure out how much to charge us

 

[Auron_Kale]

Going to preorder this version for sure once Amazon has it up as I was hoping we would get the LE version. Also yeah, as much as I love the XCX LE, this looks to be packaged a bit better.

 

[RPG_Fanatic]

. I will still get this regardless of the price. Assuming it doesn't sell out in 5 minutes.

 

[Boogiepop]

Do we know if the tracks on the CD are vocal tracks or not? Weird as it may sound, that may be the deciding factor here for me... (well, that and if I manage to snag that prime discount that's equal to my GCU or not...)

 

[Semajer]

How does this compare to the Japanese version?

Are the costumes included here the same ones rumoured to be removed in the localised version?

 

[chrominance]

Seems like the usual Atlus LE package. I decided a while back that if I really cared about the soundtrack or artbook, I'd be better off ordering the real thing from Japan or a localized western version (hurray for Udon artbooks), and I have a 30% off pre-order for the normal edition, so I won't bother with this.

 

[clay_ghost]

I better don;t miss this on Amazon again . :0

This is exactly the same collector's edition that was released in Japan. Again, Atlus has nothing to do with this. This is a Nintendo press release for a reason.

 

[Ridley327]

Are the costumes included here the same ones rumoured to be removed in the localised version?

Here are the contents of the Fortissimo Edition:

[Fortissimo Edition Bonus]
-Collaboration costume (download code for Atlus motif costume which can be used in the game)
-Original art book
-Genei Ibunroku #FE special vocal selection CD
-Genei Ibunroku #FE premium LIVE (tentative name) ticket advanced application flyer
-Original costume set (3 download codes for costume sets which can be used in the game)
[Early Purchase Bonus]
-Limited promotion card "Tsubasa Oribe"

Outside of the pre-order card, it seems like it's pretty much the same on paper. The soundtrack was also six tracks, so that should be entirely identical here.

 

[Linkyn]

a six-song soundtrack CD

Seems kinda short.

Edit: Nvm, I just saw it.

 

[mobilesworking]

Yes, I jumped the gun a bit. I'd thought a full soundtrack was included.

6 vocal ones. atm it's still unsure if it includes bonus dialogue tracks or not

 

[NotLiquid]

A little bit let down that EU doesn't get the Famicom-looking box. The US one looks really neat.

 

[Boogiepop]

Ah, nice. If I can manage it on Amazon with the discount I guess I'll go for it, then. Thanks!

Thanks. I guess that pre-order card was for Fire Emblem Cipher. Makes sense that we wouldn't get it.

 

[Mediking]

Hell yeah!!!!!!!
