What exactly is this bonus content they provide saves to unlock?

Where can I snag a legit Japanese copy of this at a half decent price?

If the prices are anything like they were when I was looking for my copy, you would probably find it cheaper to go through a proxy service and order a copy from Japan.
I used White Rabbit to get VC3 (just got it a couple days ago in fact) and had no problems, and the basic forwarding service was pretty cheap ($6.50, others I saw were twice that or more).

Phew, that's one massive burden (not in the negative sense) off my mind.
Hope everyone enjoys the patch! We put in hundreds of man (and woman) hours to get this baby finished.

Glad that it's finished, thanks to all of you for putting the effort in!
And I liked all the Falcom comments in the recent updates too.
Massive thanks to you all! It really is greatly appreciated and not soon forgotten.
I hope this and Awakening are going to convince more people to try out this series!
Thanks so much for all your hard work!

Unless you're playing Lunatic in which case you're probably going to have to use them if you want to stay sane.
I love you. I mean, this is great. I can't wait to play it!

I love, praise, treasure, respect, and honor you and all of the good people you work with to finish this thing. You can't even begin to imagine how stupidly excited and happy you guys made me with this thing.
Thank you, thank you, thank you so much for your and your team's hard work. Thank you so much.

It's out?? Great! I'll try it out as soon as I finish DQ IX.

Because DS games on a 3DS look blurry and washed-out, whereas on the DSi XL they look gloriously crisp and vibrant.
Because the DSi XL is the best DS ever, of course! I wish I had one.

Thank you so much for this. I absolutely love when a fan translation group finishes a game. It's the culmination of so many donated hours all poured into a labor of love.
Even if I'm not going to play the game (which I will, it's Fire Emblem, after all), I have to pay my respects. You guys are awesome.

So excited to finally play this game

Huh. Never thought the difference was so pronounced.
I was so bummed when this wasn't localized. You guys just made my week. Thank you so much for this! Y'all good people.
Now to import the game. Never done it before but totally worth it for Fire Emblem. Thanks as well to those who posted advice on where to import.

Translators does what Nintenwon't yet again.
Vincent typically doesn't update the site during these hours, I think. He'll surely update it later in the day when he gets on.
So uh..... NBA Jam advertisement in the OP, eh?
Can someone compare FE12 to FE7 (Blazing Sword, the first GBA one)? In terms of difficulty, length, complexity, whatever? However you want to compare them. Would just be good to know what it's like through comparison to the 2D FE I'm most familiar with.

Um, it's set up very similarly to FE7, in that the player gets an avatar that characters talk to, and there's a prologue which eases the player into things. Difficulty-wise I think it may be a bit more difficult than FE7. You won't see enemies with ~30% hit rates nearly as often, and your units tend to be pretty fragile. In terms of complexity, they're really about the same. They're both pretty bare-bones. FE6/7 removed all the fancy stuff from FE4 and 5, and FE11/12 removes all the fancy stuff from FE9 and 10. Length-wise, I... think they're about the same? FE12 has actual single-use save points scattered throughout the maps, to make things a bit easier. They're pretty similar, all in all.

Yeah, for the most part. But they're not quite... totally there. At least not nearly to the extent this one is, or even FE6 is. I think YoshiRider explained some of the problems with those patches earlier in this thread.

I'm so bad at this, lol. Made axe guy, keep trying to beat the prologues to get uber stat gains.
As far as FE12's difficulty goes, Normal and Hard are standard Normal and Hard difficulties for the FE series. Maniac gives enemy units ridiculous boosts, and reclassing becomes a need early on due to requiring fliers/mages/archers to get past certain maps.
Lunatic is just stupidly frustrating. You WILL get mauled to death and you WILL get frustrated. It makes FE7's Hector Hard Mode look like a cakewalk.
There's a hidden fifth difficulty unlocked when you beat Lunatic. It's called Lunatic' (Note the apostrophe) and it's basically the same as Lunatic, except

all enemy units have a hidden Vantage skill that's "always on". This means that whenever you initiate an attack, the enemy unit will ALWAYS attack first (provided he is range of countering).
Yeesh.
I'm sure I'm not the only one who finds it somewhat amusing that the latest if not possibly final DLC character from Fire Emblem Awakening happens to be Katarina. Intelligent Systems were obviously onto you guys.
NO! I want fucking Nephenee and Sigurd damn it!

Now let's see some impressions, people!

You can get those two for free ^^
The advertised DLC characters are mostly gimmicks IMO.
But they don't have redesigns! I want to see an updated Sigurd, even if it is in the new not as good as FE9 art style. I still want an update :C.
