Yes. You need both games registered before August 31. That's the ONLY requirement.

Crap you have to buy both games, guess I'm not getting this promo. Would love to, but I have other games to buy besides SMT4.
Edit: Maybe if I get the game before August 31st actually. lol

I think you just have to link your 3DS to your Nintendo club account through the E-Shop.
Its near the bottom of settings in the E-Shop.
It should link all your games to your account.
Thats what happened with mine.

I finally bought this game.
My first Fire Emblem. Casual or Classic?
My first Fire Emblem. Casual or Classic?
Classic. It's my first Fire Emblem as well and I feel one of the best aspects of the game is living with the consequences of losing an important team mate during battle. It makes what transpires on the battle field that much more meaningful and some victories can be bittersweet. I say take advantage of the mechanic. And no restarting battles!
It's not like you won't have a whole stable of other team mates to choose from anyway. And the game's difficulty hasn't really ramped up until way later in the game for me. I'm not good at it at all, either.

I sort of don't like the idea of putting time into growing a character only to have them die (Aeris ;_
. If I did lose one I would most likely restart the battle. Ugh, I want to play but I can't make a decision.

If you're on the fence, just go for casual. There's the added plus of being to save mid-battle, which increases the portability of the game. I'm doing causal on my first playthrough and have yet to let any of my units die! If they do, I restart and try again.I sort of don't like the idea of putting time into growing a character only to have them die (Aeris ;_

Or if you're restarting anyways and are the type to play this in a long sitting, just try classic. It's not that much different.

How much progress do you lose from restarting?
Saving mid-battle sounds tempting. I'm leaning towards casual.

You'll only lose your progress from since your last save, so as long as you save before and after completing a chapter, you should be okay. Restarting only serves to let you redo a chapter to try and not let any units die.
Casual does have the extra crutch of saving in the middle of a chapter. I haven't tried it myself, but I assume you can save before a turn, and if that turn proves fatal to one of your characters, you can restart your file from that save and retry your move. It cheapens the experience a little, though, since the main draw of Fire Emblem is that feeling of completing a full chapter without anyone dying. And I can only imagine that satisfaction is only incrased as you move up to the hard and lunatic difficulty levels.

I'd recommend classic with restarts. It forces you to play more carefully and is a bit more challenging
It depends on the player. Casual gives two extra save slots, and it also less frustrating in general, but it does enable strategies that otherwise don't work (.ie suiciding your troops).
I did. My FE was not registered, but my purchases after the link were.

Dont listen to that guy, few people play with no restarting nosense, even those who play in classic like me. Go for casual if you want to learn the basics. If you like the game a lot you may want to replay on clasic.

If this is your first FE and you have no idea what youre doing and you hate losing characters then you must play casual for your own sake. You WILL keep losing characters because you wont have a good understanding of the game mechanics. It will take a while before you can complete a map without losing anyone, so playing on perma death mode where you have to continously restart the level will frustrate you.

SPOILER!!
But I would recommend Casual. Part of the charm of Awakening is all the different personalities & support conversations.

I just picked up FE, any DLC suggestions or no?
Try Golden Pack or Scramble Pack and see if you like those.

Think about dlc after completing the game. If you want to make training faster you can buy the golden pack.
E-mail Nintendo telling them you downloaded some games before linking your CN account. It happened to me and after a day or two the registered all my previous downloads into my CN account. I even got the surveys.
Perfect! Then I'll get to enjoy SMT sooner.

Is the Bride class worth a damn? I don't like the skills. And the class would be the only reason I'd want to get Smash Brethren 2.
According to some players in this thread, is the best female class stats wise. Hey we have people turning every female into Brides because fuck you class diversity I want the perfect team
Also, Rally Love is crucial for any

Holy shit, I have never run into so many miracles/counters in my life. That's all these Risen have D:<
That would be me. No doubt there are others as well but I took the time to post pics
They're balanced as hell stats-wise but I don't like their weapon sets. Shame their sprite on the map is generic to everyone but eh, their battle models are banging.

I actually thought it was you but I didnt even know how to start searching for that post because waifu and your nickname is in like every other page =P.
Also thaks to Javier!, I just got the Mail that I can use the FE + SMT promotion now. Buying SMT tomorrow.
No prob, man! Once again the day is saved!
Not Shadow Dragon.
Funny because I was just looking it up. Why not?
Because its considered to be generally a step back from previous Fire Emblem games. If you can find a cheap copy of Path of Radiance, (gamecube) or Raident Dawn(Wii), I would suggest trying those. Although, both games are rare now, and cost over $60 used.
You can also play the GBA versions, and those are much easier to find. Scared Stones can still be had for 3-5 dollars.
If you like RPGs yes.
Buy this and SMTIV to receive 30$ of free eshop funds (if you are american).
I loved FE on GBA
This game sold me on the system
I just need to find a good deal on a 3ds

I think you mean put all your focus into Frederick, the real name of the game is actually Frederick Emblem
Fixed.

Yeah bro
Nah, all of the DLC's worth like $40 if you buy them all I think.
There are plenty of particularly good ones to look into, though. They make for good postgame stuff.
Heh, thanks for the help. I've been getting through it alright on my second try but the sheer amount of units approaching is making hard to survive lol. That dlc is looking more tempting.
And that fe/smtIV deal sounds great. Hopefully we will get more fe sooner rather than later.
Donnell has bad bases that make him look horrible at first glance, but he has very high growths so he becomes an amazing unit real fast.
General consensus is to train Donnell as a Villager to Level 10-15 (I recommend 15 so he learns another skill), then Second Seal him to Mercenary. Absolute beastly unit.
Any in particular you would recommend? Does Nintendo ever do eshop sales would live to snatch them all in a cheaper bundle or something.
