Donnel x Nowi seems super popular. That's what I did as well.

Too bad there's no extra scene with Chrom about the awkward situation I've placed us in by marrying

Spoiler

his daughter from the future, and now have his even more future granddaughter on the team.

I'm going to rush through the rest of the game to the end so I can start over on a harder difficulty since a paired up Donnel x Nowi or my Avatar x anyone have become unstoppable.

Here it is. If dropbox isn't allowed it isn't my fault! Haha.

I think it came out rather well, had to adjust the volume because of the XL's slightly weak headphone output, if anyone finds any bit of it lacking let me know -- totally willing to re-record it.

Haha, that's great. I think I might use it, even. Thanks!

Love it. Will probably use this as my notification ringtone now.

Oh my, I think I'm going to use it too. Thank you!

Glad people like it. On a related note:

2 hours, 15 minutes, and I've got everything arranged nice and neat, just waiting for it... GET HERE FASTER DAMMIT!

Yes I have both versions of Cave Story.

 

[OryoN]

What a fun demo. Never played this series. Awakening will be my first game in the series. Here's to it's success in the west.

Same here. I have always heard good things about the series, but I'm usually a bit apprehensive when showing up late to long-running series. Fearing I may not understand/enjoy the subtle things that those familiar with the series do. I'm hearing this game aims to break newcomers into the series with great care, and like others said; that demo was outstanding! So I'll likely buy it on eshop later(if I have enough space).

 

[JacksUsername]

Really wish you could digitally pre-order and load in advance, since I know it's going to take forever to download based off of previous experiences.

I've gotten my girlfriend into Fire Emblem 8 so far in anticipation, and outside of showing her some tips and tricks to save her a bit of frustration, she's doing pretty okay. It's a game heavily laced with nuance, but normal difficulties shouldn't be so hard as to be just plain frustrating.

Wait, CS has two versions in 3DS?

I've been needing a new alert tone. Thanks for uploading this!

One is an up scaled DSi ware title of the original game and the other is a port of Cave Story+ that uses 3D models.

 

[SteeloDMZ]

So who's a FE newbie and will start with this? Can't wait.

 

[Roto13]

It was possible to buy the DSiWare version before it was removed from the 3DS eShop for the 3DS version. (Or you can transfer it from a DSi.)

 

[Astral/H3X]

One is an up scaled DSi ware title of the original game and the other is a port of Cave Story+ that uses 3D models.

Actually, you're talking about Cave Story 3D. Cave Story+ (eShop) is pure 2D models, but has stereoscopic backgrounding. Really cool, honestly.

Although I do also have Cave Story 3D! Easily the worst version... Mainly because the controls feel off being 2.5D and all...

 

[JacksUsername]

So who's a FE newbie and will start with this? Can't wait.

While I've owned every Fire Emblem game that's come out to states, I'm hoping this will be the first one I actually complete.

That's what I said isn't it? But we're getting off topic. I've been playing sacred stones recently, and does Awakening make improvements to the dark magic system? Those units seemed fairly poor compared to the other mages.

Why haven't you completed any? I'm curious.

 

[Chrom]

The way magic works in this game is that it's all elements grouped together in one, like in Shadow Dragon. You've got your fire, wind, and thunder tomes, but anyone who can use magic can use them. Dark magic is only usable by Dark Mages and those related classes, who can also use the normal magic. No Light magic. No Trinity of Magic.

 

[Astral/H3X]

It sounded like you were talking about Cave Story 3D (which is retail only) and Cave Story DSiWare, and not Cave Story eShop and Cave Story DSiWare.

Eh, not terribly important.

I don't know if Dark magic is "fixed" per se, but now it's an addition to normal magic, like in the DS iterations. IE; dark magic users can use the traditionally "anima" magic and a subset of dark magic, whereas most can only use Anima.
There are a few people that have the capability of using Dark magic without being a dark magic using class, but that's basically just Micaiaha and one other person.

 

[Smilax]

I'll probably start with this. I tried the demo and it was pretty fun. I can't wait.

I guess the biggest improvement for dark magic is that since they removed weapon weight, so your dark mages aren't weighed down by them heavy dark magic tomes.

 

[JacksUsername]

Not sure to be hoenst. I enjoy turn based strategy games, but I always hit a wall around 10 hours in. Same thing's happened in XCOM, Tactics Ogre for the GBA, Final Fantasy Tactics, and all of the Fire Emblems. I'll get really into them, then put the game down and never return to it.

I'm going to try and beat this as part of the Four in February, so I'm hoping it'll be an extra incentive to not put the game down, which is kind of the death sentence.

Fuck folders and their ugly asses.

 

[Theandrin]

I'm in that boat as well. I've always been interested in the series, but this will be my first. Can't wait to get my hands on it.

 

[FearMyWrench]

Do we know for sure if it's coming up on the eShop at midnight or that just a guess based on previous releases?

Sounds like you have a serious case of Can'tFinishTurnBasedStrategyGames disease.
No matter what it takes, I really hope you beat this super good super amazing game.

 

[Boss Doggie]

I think I'll have two saves. How many saves can you make?

 

[MatthewB92]

Not really a guess. Nintendo has said every retail release launched on the eshop will be up at midnight.

 

[EvilMario]

There's no reason to speculate.

Works out perfect.

One save file for each difficulty.

 

[Astral/H3X]

Dude... where are your folders?

I had folders... Then I realized it was most glorious to display all of my games in their truest form!

Also, the only reason it's set at that exact zoom distance is because the Mutant Mudds icon gets blurry on anything else but that and full size. :X It'd be zoomed out further otherwise.

 

[The Last Wizard]

Just when I thought I was sure which 3ds I was gonna get, I just cant decide between the bundle and the XL

 

[Kazerei]

I think I'll have two saves. How many saves can you make?

There's 3 slots for saving outside of battle, and 2 slots for saving during battle (this might only be available on Casual)

 

[Kincaido]

Aw, screw it. Will buy both physical and eShop versions. I would cancel my physical and get eShop only, but I have a feeling the game will be kinda rare in the future like the past titles.

 

[dragonlife]

Aw, screw it. Will buy both physical and eShop versions. I would cancel my physical and get eShop only, but I have a feeling the game will be kinda rare in the future like the past titles.

The whore in me feels compelled to do the same thing. Really badly.

I'll probably end up buying the digital copy later, for more save slots. And because I love it.

 

[The Hermit]

get the Xl

 

[SteeloDMZ]

XL, trust all of us. There's no going back to an original 3DS.

Yes I have both versions of Cave Story.

So, what's the maximum SD card size the 3DS will allow? I might just start downloading all future titles from this point on...

 

[Kazerei]

128GB SDXC

 

[Astral/H3X]

I do believe I have a 32GB in here... lemme check...

Oh, 8GB. But I'm pretty sure it's full SDHC, so it should go at least to 32, if not 64 and higher.

Speaking of which, I might transfer SD cards soon. Whoo space!

And it's Class 4! This is outrageous given I have a 32GB C10 that's sitting around!

 

[The Last Wizard]

get the Xl

XL, trust all of us. There's no going back to an original 3DS.

But I hate the XL colors, I just want to play Fire Emblem

 

[Kincaido]

I'll probably end up buying the digital copy later, for more save slots. And because I love it.

Yeah, I was thinking about that too. Three extra save slots seems nice.

 

[Quote]

Do digital releases usually go up at midnight EST?

 

[Hoarr]

128GB SDXC

Thank you, sir. If it wasn't for getting games for cheap through Gamefly, I might have already switched to full-digital for the 3DS.

I think FE will be the first one, Animal Crossing to be the next...

 

[The Last Wizard]

yes

 

[Reluctant-Hero]

Yup, downloading the eShop version as soon as it available. Then I'll either "keep" the Gamefly copy that'll be sent to me or pickup my paid off preorder and keep it sealed. Hmm...

Hooray!
