The US eShop doesn't take US credit cards directly.
Two options:
- Buy directly from the Canadian store.
- Buy codes at Maximuscards.com and cash them on the US eShop. (MaxCards sends the code to your e-mail in a few minutes)
EDIT: Looks like you have a better solution.
It just asks for the Postal Code of the credit card, which means that if the card isn't from Canada, it won't follow the same system as those. (Ie. My postal code is XXX37, those X representing numbers) I just added a zero and problem solved.

So torn on what to choose for Asset & Flaw... ugh.
Edit: finally went with Spd+/Mag-

Yeah, what I meant was, the syntax of Canadian postal codes is alternating letters and numerals, so adding two zeros doesn't make sense
But evidently they don't actually check your entry down to that level, lol. It probably doesn't even matter what you put there.

I have to be at work tomorrow at 8 but plan to stay up until the d/l finishes. That way I can play during work.

Yep. And I plan on hitting the gym at 5:00 AM. Good thing I live on the best coast!
I weep for your current position.
Full time student, and tomorrow's a holiday on my country, so YAY!
Game downloaded faster then I expected. Anyone using their or just a real name for your character? Curious.
Always liked for characters to have a real name but this name will be sent via street pass. Not like I'll be doing that anyway so guess it really doesn't matter if use my name for my character in the end.

A little fluff between the ears never did any harm...
Tonight and tomorrow are my days off. So it works out for me. Though tomorrow I'll spend all day trying to find a copy since I'm now paranoid about losing a full retail game if my 3ds breaks.
Did you use a mexican credit card? I'm highly tempted to just buy it digital, as you said, it's way more expensive here...

Man it sped up for a bit and now it's at a total crawl. Getting literally one little box per little ornament drop. ARGH.
By full time student you mean unemployed and in debt correct?
Not really, thank God. The education in here isn't as expensive as it is in the US so my parents cover that. Next year, though... I'm starting to get scared about that lol
EDIT:
Debit card, actually. And yes, it worked like a charm. That saved me almost $270 pesos (That's $22 USD, for everyone else)
I have to be honest here, I currently don't. But Im still waiting for calls, emails, exam and interview results which will take some time anyway. Besides, its 2pm in my country so Im not staying up late.
I know how hard it is. It took me 6 months to get a job here in the US after being unemployed for a year, its hard, but if you don't give up it works out in the end.

What do you mean by this? I use my credit card and i'm in the US.
Yeah I am not sure I understand this either. Works just fine for me.
Save file is included in the game data itself. (Which is lame because that means you can't delete/redownload the game without deleting your save data.)
Be sure to unveil/burn all the plagued grains (har har)
Just go in ready for fun, and if you want to have an easier time, play on casual to save yourself from retstarting levels a lot (because perma-death on your dudes) if you're OK with that.

So is this like the early fire emblem where is very linear and on tracks where you cant grind out levels before progressing? Or is it more free roaming and you can do story line whenever like FFT/OT.

More like FFT/OT, as you are able to fight skirmishes on the world map.

His seed.
How fitting considering he's a Farmer.
Don't do that.

That and he gain good skills as a Villager and has good growth that can be used when he changes class via a Second Seal.
You eventually unlock the ability to download it from in-game.
Really don't wanna go digital for this game, but I know Best Buy and GameStop are a no-go and somehow I doubt Nintendo World is going to have copies in the morning. Decisions, decisions...
Digital copy saves are stuck on the file, right? So even if I were to get a physical copy later on, I wouldn't be able to continue my save from my downloaded copy, correct?

Downloading, looking forward to it!
First fire emblem, though I played the shit out of final fantasy tactics and some disgaea.
I'm kinda worried about the whole promotion thing. From what I understand it's basically changing job classes, but I don't yet have a grasp on the benefits or risks of promoting a character. I hate being 20 hours into something to find out I can no longer do "X" because I messed something up 4 hours ago =)
That said, I figure I'll end up playing this at least a few times if it hooks me like FFT did, so whatever - first playthrough's a practice playthrough anyway, right?

Have fun everyone!
You can change classes with an item called, "Second Seal." I never used Donnel myself, but he has some really good growth rates, and can become really good.
