No problem, but it kinda hurts me when you say it when my site's down X D
Sorta on-topic, I think I'll change my avatar soon; I'm really starting to feel the FE mood!

Gamestop. No idea on other retailers. Getting mixed messages though, so it's more YMMV in this case.

Naw, I played FE12 on casual and still restarted when people died.
Just lie and say it's Lucius, no one will know
Oh I've been using your site regardless... With the cached version on Google. And yeah, I was kind of amused that the SerenesForest guy had an Ys avatar.

So I forget but is there romancing in this FE? Is there same sex romancing?
Well, then obviously, genetic stuff would not be an option. Can't exactly pass down "Holy Bloodline" related powers and etc. in case like that!
Even so, I see no reason why at least some skills couldn't be "taught" in cases like that. Might make for an interesting gameplay mix where you might be dealing more with "badass normals" who have to go without bloodline hax and what-not, to say the least!
Yes there is, but no homo.

These days Fire Emblem's kind of my job and Nihon Falcom's my hobby. Or something like that.Oh I've been using your site regardless... With the cached version on Google. And yeah, I was kind of amused that the SerenesForest guy had an Ys avatar.
(My avatar on my forum is Ys too.)
FE Awakening is really tingling my fanboy senses though : P
I need to stop using female avatars exclusively one day. Maybe after I get a real waifu...

There are rumors that Gamestop will break the street date or more like there's no street date anymore once they get their shipments in, but I haven't seen any reports of that happening in the US yet.

Should have brought one before Jan 15th XD so you get a free retail download game, choices of Mario 3D Land/Layton/Style Boutique/Freaky Forms.
I know how that feels. I basically had zero hype for anything Fire Emblem related after Path of Radiance (or was it Radiant Dawn? I don't remember being excited for Radiant Dawn much at all though, so...) came out, and now all of my fanboy feelings are coming back to me because of Awakening. <3

I would make newborn kittens into sushi and sign a pact with a demon to take my first child if I could get this early.
Come on, NoA/US GameStop. SHOW ME SOME LOVE.

You're crazy. PoR was <3 I'm replaying it as we speak! And Radiant Dawn was even better. My hype's been reinvigorated because of Awakening, too, though--mainly since RD came out in '07 and Shadow Dragon was... well, Shadow Dragon. FE12's English patch also helped a bit.

Weird, I also got the impression that most people on SF were girls
Oh no, don't get the wrong idea. I LOVED PoR, but Radiant Dawn kind of disappointed me.
Oh God.
I'd just cobble up Reggie's cock for an early release in the US.
Not going into kitten sushi or anything.

Haha.. No, I don't think that's it! I think maybe your site design sensibilities were very feminine to me though! XD
I hope you get it back up and running soon. ;_; I have needs!
Speaking of street dates being broken... :I This will totally mess with my countdown image! Maybe I can't change it to "4 days remaining, 1 street date broken!"
Now I have to head to work, but I got to play up to the part where the demo ends and then the continuing chapter scene. Enough to trigger one support convo between Chrummy Chrom and I. Yay!
I guess I will be staying up really late to play now. XD Good thing for a free day tomorrow!
Add me to the voices acclaiming your site. Serenes is absolutely fantastic.

Just called in my Gamestop. Doesn't seems like they care for street dates, but they haven't actually received their shipment yet.

Gamefly lists the release date as 02/04 but they usually ship a day before the ACTUAL release date...but it releases on a Monday!? I wonder if they will ship the copies on Saturday? Hmm...
Or you could move to Canad...well actually, your route sounds easier.
Why would you move to Sudbury?
Yellowknife is where it's at
ehehehe
I wanted to! especially since Amazon had the White XL with Mario 3D Land for just £140, but I didn't have enough money at the time, and now it's back to £170 without extra game.
My sister today was trying to convince me to get the Awakening 3DS bundle, because I've been drooling over the color and design of it and she wants an English-region system (for what games, I'm not really sure) so she's hoping she can snag my old one.
I'm still kind of tempted, mostly because I just really like the look of that system, although "upgrading" from an OG 3DS to another non-XL version feels a little pointless. I'm assuming that performing a system transfer wouldn't somehow invalidate the Fire Emblem data that's already on the new system, yes?

Waiting for the actual release day. I've been punching a hole in my DS backlog the past couple weeks. Still have almost a week to keep going so I think I'll take that opportunity.

Just called Gamestop. (alaska)
They did in fact remove the streetdate.
Unfortunately they didn't say anything about when they're getting the games

I've got a pre-order in at Best Buy... I may have to call them tomorrow and see if they'll start giving the game out since GS seems to be doing it.
It wouldn't. However, having Fire Emblem data already on the old system and moving it over to the new system would have the data in the new system become overwritten with the old.

It wouldnt you just download it again in the eshop
Really? I always thought all data was literally transferred directly to the new system.

Probably going to grab this when it comes out. Is this similar to Tactics Ogre? I loved that on the PSP.

I've only played Ogre Battle 64 so I'm not the most informed, but if the rest of the games are like that then I'd say it is mostly similar to Fire Emblem. Biggest difference I'd say is that everything is turn-based rather than having some real-time elements, and in Fire Emblem, the term unit refers to simply one character unlike in OB64 where it refers to a group of characters hustled together in their own little squadron and fight together in battle.
Also, Fire Emblem has always been strictly grid-based. OB64's not really like that at all.

I got my copy today! Just finishing up my StreetPass tags and I'm going to start tonight.
Tactics Ogre is completely turn based and has single character units like Fire Emblem. So I guess Tactics Ogre is closer to Fire Emblem than Ogre Battle 64 is.
I'd say it's different than Tactics Ogre but closer to that than Ogre Battle 64 (the Battle and Tactics being different themselves).
It's more like... uhhh Advance Wars I guess.
