Yeah, the battle version was what I meant. Thanks, Yoshi <3 I actually fired up the demo again today and left the game running at a level-up screen so I could hear the music. A YT link won't be as depressing.

Just like Namco did with Ni no Kuni, I think Nintendo underestimated how popular this game would be. I don't think they expected all this attention, and as such were treating the release like one of their "lesser' titles.
I'm now thinking that 15 hours is sorely underestimated for the main campaign. For reference, I'm at 20 hours and I've just hit the halfway point of the game. 5-6 of those hours were spent just building up S rank supports for the other marriages. I've also just unlocked an influx of side quests (about 10). Excluding those side missions, I'm expecting at least 8-10 more hours.

Hmm... I got an email this morning from bestbuy.com telling me that my preorder was in and ready for pickup at my local store (that I selected for in-store pickup). I then received a phone call from the store mere minutes later telling me that it was somehow a mistake, and that neither them nor any other store in the area has the game in stock yet. They said it'd be in for sure next week on February 6th.

Hail, peons, for I have come as ambassador from the great and bountiful Blueberry Butt Explosion
My hope is that this means we'll be seeing a renewed investment in the FE name here in the states going forward.

Well all the large amount of pre-orders and positive press are certainly gonna help with that. It also benefited from the fact that the US is seeming to jump back on the JRPG bandwagon again. (Or at least we're moving in that direction.)
cool lol you're just like me
I spent a bunch of time doing support convos too. I didn't have to but hey I like reading them because they're all varied and not generic.
Actually advertising the game on tv, magazines, and websites, having a limited edition 3DS bundle for the game, putting out a demo before release, not to mention excellent reviews across the board... I don't think Nintendo is really considering it as a lesser title with all the publicity and exposure it's getting. I think it's more a messed up shipping schedule than anything.
I just want my copy asap

I don't mean they are just realizing now, I meant they realized too late. They said literally nothing about the game for months and now they are scrambling to give the game a big push.Actually advertising the game on tv, magazines, and websites, having a limited edition 3DS bundle for the game, putting out a demo before release, not to mention excellent reviews across the board...

This is evident in how severely they underestimated the pre-order amount, so much so that they actually cancelled pre-orders at some stores, something that is very rarely done. And look at all the delays.
If I buy digitally on my 3DS (and DLC stuff too), and later on decide to get an XL, would I be able to move the SD card to XL and resume playing?
Oh yeah, forgot about that. What about saves?
Most likely Frederick, but I don't know if he is a Jeigan or an Oifey.

I'm not sure about saves, but if you do a system transfer everything will carry across. This will delete everything off of your old 3DS though.
The 3DS does not have an account system like the PS3 and X360.
Thing is they wouldn't even let me pre-order the game last week which I still don't get.
It doesn't work on PS3 or 360 either.

Where are people getting it early? I thought the release date was the 4th.
If in SoCal., Gameplay has it.
All classes have stat caps.
A lot of classes have stat caps depending. Some classes will have much higher skill/speed caps than others, while having lower defense/mag caps.
If a stat is capped, that's good, unless it's a really low, crappy cap.

Man, I can't wait to get my hands on this puppy. Where are you guys getting your copies from?
Oh, I see.
Well, I've made Donnel a hero now. He's easily among my strongest units now, if not the strongest. The only time he was clocked out of battle was when an enemy unit had a Counter skill (WTF, I want that skill).
With Donnel, was it Villager -> Class 1 -> Class 2?
Has a built in SD card.
3DS comes with an SD card, you can get a larger one but it starts at 2GB.
Regular 3DS' come with a 2GB SD card, and 3DS XL's (and the Fire Emblem 3DS bundle, which includes a regular 3DS) come with a 4GB SD card.
That's not how Villager works in this game. It's neither above or below classes in that sense, for it shares the same tier as Manakete or Dancer.
To make Donnel a class other than Villager, he needs a Second Seal to reclass.

Raise a Warrior to learn that skill.
Yeah, it's not. I used to think that it was like those or even the actual Villager class from Gaiden before the game came out in Japan, but they changed it up.

Damn so GameStop shipment is really pushed to 2/8. Ill probably just buy it on 3DS shop and sell my physical copy on eBay.....idk.
Mhm.
Villager -> Mercenary -> Hero
He was severely underpowered at first, but training him paid off.

This game is so brutal for me, my dudes keep dying.
What difficulty are you playing?
Also using pair up at the right moments can really give a unit that little extra push to get a kill
Also which thieves den mission are you doing?
Another now rescue staff is your friend use it whenever you can
Edit: also how do you guys prefer playing fire emblem? Use all the units you can per map or use a small group of sting units to rush?
I wanna make him into something else.

Has anyone who trained Donny know if Donny can potentially get out of the hero class? And change into let's say a bow user or a tome user?
