Are people still having issues getting a physical copy of FE?
Might as well post this. Fire Emblem Awakening has sold 180,000 copies in the US in February (117,000 retail, 63,000 digitally.) Source here.
Not bad since the game was impossible to find lol.

Wow, the last FE is only at 250k ltd.

I usually hate tactics RPGs and yet Fire Emblem Awakening is quickly becoming my favorite 3DS game.

Shadow Dragon was a pretty basic remake of a NES game that had never arrived to American shores (so had no nostalgia attached to it here). It's actually a decent number, considering how many people claimed that it had been a bomb.
Compared to the previous gba ones it didn't do so hot. It also kinda left a bad taste in some people's mouths which is never a good thing.

Knowing Shadow Dragon did 250k in the US makes me even more pissed that we never got 12. It along with AAI2 was just criminal.
Fire Emblem tends to do that. It was definitely the series that made me into SRPGs.

...is anyone else having a metric ton of trouble saving Emmeryn?
I can get to her by the end of the second turn but not to the above thugs that come down and kill her in one hit!

Rescue staff her and bunker down in the starting position?
Yeah super lame. I guess there are some conversations between them in one of the later DLC episodes though (and

...all this time I thought the Rescue Staff had to be used adjacently and only moved someone one space.
(What the fuck I'm so bad at this series. (Thanks!))
That'd be the most useless staff ever! :lol

If it still gave the same amount of exp and was buyable like the current rescue staff, it would just be as useful in leveling clerics/raising staff rank.
Exactly. I would have been satisfied with just that.
and when you do encounter her in the Paralogue, she does say Chrom's name so she sorta remembers + the dialogue after killing all the enemies
edit: oh and good stuff with the NPD FE:A numbers. I would have liked higher (like impossibly high like over 500k lol) but I'll take this result; it did well considering that game's supply in retail was mostly nonexistent.

De fuck.
How come I never realize that I can level up clerics more efficiently like this?
The fuck.
That's how I leveled up my healers.
The amounts of exp it gives is insane even after a bunch of reclassing.

I imagine it would not be quite feasible without the Golden Gaffe map though, since you need to rebuy and repurchase the staff. Hmm.
Anyways, just bought Lost Bloodline 3 and the Smash Pack. This game is definitely the one I spent the most money in for 3DS; don't know whether I should be happy or sad about that, hahah.
No they won't reset, only his level will.
Yup. Using the Second Seal and reclassing him to a Great Lord'll pretty much just tick his level down to 1 and do nothing else (though you'll gain EXP at a different rate after doing so due to some weird internal formula.)

Only 3 more kids then I can actually progress with the story! I haven't done a new story chapter in 2 weeks and I've been playing every day.

So! The character from recently added Spotpass Map is the *final* character that the Avatar can marry, right?

Any chance we get that Bonds DLC? Seems interesting; I'll buy it in a heartbeat...
In fact, I am already so wet in terms of this game's DLCs... Might as well swim all the way through no matter what they are offering.

Which is funny because these 2 are the only original games aside from Awakening that have world map the player can traverse freely.
We'll get all DLCs.

Switch him to paladin or great knight for skills (paladin is priority). Outside of bow breaker and maybe hit +20 chrom doesn't care about the archer tree and I have no room for those skills hence why I don't bother with it
well that explains why you want Bonds

Only a life of polygamy will suit her.
Just picked this game up last night after having bought a 3ds last week. I've heard nothing but glowing reviews about the game since its release. I was very skeptical of my own interest in this style of game. It's my first strategy rpg I've ever played.
AND IT'S AMAZING. I've been hooked since playing it. I want to get all the dlc ASAP. I'm playing on normal/classic mode(already lost Mirriel(sp?)). I know I still have a lot to learn but I can't wait for the many hours of playing ahead of me.

For a new player like you I'd recommend wating for the second wave of dlc, the first wave is mostly fanservice to old fans of the saga, bringing characters from old games and the like. There are some extras though, like 2 new classes and a trio of maps that focus on getting easy gold, exp and weapons.
The second wave of dlc bring new things to the game, like an alternate story, maps that add many conversations between characters and some hard challenges.

Her support with Gerome is priceless, but I'm not sure if should go for S class yet...

Ending Spoiler Question:
How differently does the ending play out whether or not you have the MU land the final blow?
The bit of dialogue everyone says at the end is different. If you choose to kill Grima yourself, everyone says their bit about the MU's whereabouts.
