Well, I just bought a 3DS XL from Amazon and also ordered Fire Emblem from them. I hate the fact that there is only blue and red for choice of color, but when a white or black releases I'll just sell the blue one and pick a new one up.
Sounds like this game is awesome, looking forward to it coming in! I'm still only about 15 hours into Ni No Kuni so that will keep me busy.

I pre-ordered online with Future Shop (Canada) when the online quantity was 30. The "Order Status" hasn't changed from "In-progress", but the Item Status changed to "Out of Stock" this morning which probably means I'm getting fucked over. This has been one of the worst releases in recent memory, between copies being sold early (EBgames) and stores "Not receiving shipments".
Heh, one thing that's kind of broken about re-classing people is the supports where they talk about what they do. Like I re-classed Olivia as a Swordsmaster, and after going through 15 levels of dancer, 15 of myrmidon and 6 or 7 of Swordsmaster, she is by far my best one, but she always talks about how dancing is all she can do and isn't really useful, when she is one of my best melee classes..

I fired up the demo this weekend just to try it out and was really impressed! I just wish I had an XL I hate my standard 3DS.

There's no extra content for Classic players, so you won't be missing anything by going with casual.
Only females.
You'll always start as a tactician, but you can change to any standard class of the correct gender afterwards when you get a Second Seal.
I picked up a 3DS XL last night. It was my first system purchase in like 4 years since I got a 360.
I refuse to buy DD games if there is a hard copy available. I'm extremely disapointed it appears Nintendo has botched the launch cause I really want to play FE.
If I don't find a copy within two days or so Ill probably just pick up OOT 3D or Layton.

I put in a couple of hours between last night and this morning. Hard mode has already been a bit more challenging than I had anticipated, but I'm hoping to even things up once I understand that pair mechanics better.

I have never purchased a retail game on a Nintendo system digitally but you better believe I'll do it for Fire Emblem if I have to!

Is it possible to change your chars voice after you've made him? >_>
I was referring to the instrumentation, it reminded me of stuff like this:

Hey Gaf!
I have a blog and often do research projects to better understand game design and gamers.
I want to do one for Fire Emblem Awakening. I made this SURVEY.
I explain it HERE on my blog.
For anyone playing FE:A and wants to help, you basically fill out a short survey after you beat each mission. You can complete the whole thing in under 30 seconds, or you can take more time to really detail your gameplay experience.
This research survey isn't strict, so if you miss a few missions or you stop submitting information, that's all good.

Dude, of course it's the game, not even Nintendo is that stupid.
I've been trying to decide for days whether to get the Fire Emblem 3DS bundle, or pay extra and get a 3DS XL and the game.
Is a 3DS XL unquestionably better than the original? I don't care about the bigger size (if anything, I like the size of the original better because I don't like huge handhelds). But the longer battery life is tempting and looking at pictures, the XL has a much nicer looking design so I'm leaning towards getting that, I'm just not sure it's worth the extra money.

Honestly, I enjoy playing on the 3DS XL significantly more, and I guess maybe cause my hands are big, they don't cramp after long play like on the original 3DS. The original also has some weird problems, like it closes too tight and some of the buttons and such touch the screen.
It also does not feel nearly as huge as it looks in comparison, it's way more screen space and less plastic, it fits in my pocket just as easily as original 3DS, and it's less clunky and glossy too.

I would say its unquestionably better.
Some people consider the sound an issue as theres a bit of vibration but quite frankly audio is generally shit on both models.
When Nintendo brings out a 3DS with high quality speaks am all over it.
These are the advantages
-Better fit for bigger hands
-Battery life is a lot better
Disadvantages
-3d is not as good
-bigger screen makes the games look like they have aliasing problems
The battery for the original is atrocious though
The battery is a bit better, but your point on 3D is weird because just about every hardware reviewers think 3D is better on XL, I also think so.

WHAT.
The 3D is the same if not better. Its much easier to keep your eyes in 3D when moving the 3DS around.

3D on the XL is more prone to being in that "weird spot" where youve got the 3D but its got bands going up and down.

I absolutely LOVE chapter 4. Short, quick, and high intensity. I love it when the game can back me into a corner. Reminds me of the final level of Lagdou ruins without the OH GOD 10 LEVEL 20 DRACOZOMBIES. And without dying costing you an hour+. Absolutely fantastic.

So after calling a few places no one had the game, so I said fuck it and went to Nintendo World. I got a Red 3DS Xl(color isn't that bad) and Fire Emblem, if you would've told me I was getting a 3DS 2 weeks ago I would've said you were crazy.

I bought it and am currently running off the default card. It seems fine, no slowdown or noticeable load times, though I do have a 32GB card on the way since I only have 30 blocks leftover now, and I had to delete some data to get under.

Alright, Chrom I really need you to kill this bastard before he gets me. And you've got 91% chance to hit. That's practically a guarantee with the double RNG!
*WHIFF*
Um, ok. Wow. Welp! Joke's on you, Anna, I used a battle save!
*reload*
*WHIFF*
O_O
Uhhhhh. Well this demonstrates that this RNG isn't like the one in FE9 and 10, and isn't clock-based like the DS games. So it's probably a pre-determined string of numbers like in the GBA games. So joke's still on you, Anna, I know how to waste numbers in the RNG! Can't fool me!

So, should I just bite the bullet and download this rather than drive all over the place looking for it?

In other games with set RNG, if you have any units left over that haven't moved, move them around and bit that usually rolls you new numbers, though not sure how this game does it, though it sounds like you tried that, bummer.

I'd say download, the manual is pretty flimsy
So unless you want the case and cartridge for their art go digital.

If you guys are looking for it, check Target. Before the stores opened all of them said out of stock for me, but now that they are open, about the 10 closet stores say its in stock.

Just imagine the the horror that would happen if you re-classed every character...

I feel stupid for traveling into the city now
They said out of stock too.I don't normally do that but I didn't wanna go crazy trying to track it down so I went with the digital version.

So would it be better to specialize your avatar into either melee/magic or would a jack-of-all trades work as well?
If I do decide to go just melee based which asset should I choose? I always have this debate with myself in most RPGs. If I go with HP I can take more hits, however if I go strength I'll kill them faster therefore negating the need for more HP. Was going to choose Magic as my flaw if I go melee but if there's a more useless stat I'd rather pick that one.
