I agree. "Hobos who sell trash that people got tired of, and called werewolves to get them to leave" isn't really.... good. Even though it happens to fit one character with the class.

Sorry if this has been asked already but if I buy a physical copy of Birthright and a dlc version of Conquest and Revelations. Will the game be able to read my completed save of Birthright to give me bonuses in my Conquest new game like in the special edition?
Ya, that's pretty much the only and intended way to do it. (aside from the SE)

Menu based, have to be in the castle to get them.
I just received the other comiket box set.
If I were to recommend anything from cipher to fans, I would recommend the marker cards as they don't have any of that distracting text on them.
Edit. Man Int Systems really hates Chrom. He's on the pixel smaller card box and the deck box. But he's hidden by the cover in the deck box and is in an interior corner in the smaller card box.

The review thread should be fun
So, at some point around 7 PM EST the timer on my digital preload switched from 3 days to 2 days. It implies it might be releasing digitally around 7 PM EST, which seems odd.
Maybe they're rounding down like weirdos, hopefully it will switch to an hour count at some point tomorrow. If not I assume it is business as usual and it is just being weird.

Game is a 6/10 because terrible story and the game is too hard. Other version is 10/10 because reasons.
I am in the camp that think strategy games are SUPPOSED to be challenging. Strategy is not just brute force or autopilot solo mode. Strategy is supposed to make you think and consider your actions. Different difficulty levels is great, but not at the cost of the overall balance and challenge of game. It is not supposed to be a steam roll.
Being a difficult game should be a plus in my opinion anyway.
Anyway I will post the OT tomorrow at midnight and I guess I will make the review thread with rules unless someone wants to do it instead.

/remembers all the reviews of FE10 for being too challenging

I wonder if reviewers wouldn't have complained about FE10 difficulty if they had been labelled as normal, hard, and maniac.

What about easy? It was practically impossible to lose in easy.

The idea is they might have gotten tripped up on normal aka Japanese hard mode, and had the difficulty options not been renamed maybe they would've just started on what's now easy mode and not complained about the difficulty.
Come now, your strategy doesn't involve killing everyone off in ways such as boxing Takumi in with 4 Sky Knights and then expertly having Ryoma clear the map with 1HP?
Unless we talking Hard/Lunatic, how bad you gotta be to get Ryoma down to 1 hp?

Yeah I forgot about the renaming. Anyways I don't think it would have made a difference. The game was rather long, and slow. Also the story dragged a bit, I feel these complaint would have an effect.
I remember one reviewer flat out admitted in his review that he was not enjoying the game on normal but then switched to easy and had a blast. Gave it a good score in return

Can't blame them. I remember waiting for 10, beat 7-9 numerous time on hard. Then 10 came and kicked my ass so many times.I remember one reviewer flat out admitted in his review that he was not enjoying the game on normal but then switched to easy and had a blast. Gave it a good score in return
It surprised me how hard it was for Normal.
It's super easy now, but that first experience was something
A lot of those reviews mentioned issues besides "this game is unfair in terms of design", not that messing up the difficulty settings for the 2nd time in a row helped any matters.

yeah, we definitely remember the "no Mii support" review
though really, it's clear that back then review sites just didn't give a fuck about Fire Emblem, you can tell from the tone

where's the review for RD where the first line is like "I hate SRPGs"
SRPG's are pretty much one of the worst games for reviewers. Hard games in general. If it's hard and obscure, you can pretty much count it out entirely. See the souls games, which really didn't start getting great reviews until the games got more popular. Reviewers got into it well after they had already written the review. Awakening was extremely lucky: It was released onto to the 3DS at a time when games were really sparse for that system, and having missed 12, the fanbase was getting riled up and asking for it more.
Also, I really do not think most reviewers will have played both sides before review. Bigger outlets maybe, but anyone smaller than like, the top 3... I wouldn't bet on it.

Wait, Leigh Alexander wrote this? That's...surprising to say the least, though driving screw's through one's nostril would probably be a more pleasant experience than Radiant Dawn.
That was sarcasm of course, though the review in question makes some good points, like how the villains are cartoonishly evil in terms of portrayal and the playable characters are two-dimensional.
So, basically a Fire Emblem game.
You guys get the game and EU still has not announcement for the Special Edition. Nintendo, why you do this? D:
Also, my very first Radiant Dawn run was... interesting. I think the whole game with all the dialogue and stuff took me like 80 hours. And then I was there, at the final fight, the last mission. And I failed. I couldn't beat it. You know why?
I restarted the whole game, skipped all animations, skipped all dialogues, cut the playtime in half I think and then beat it. God.

Because I didn't know at that time that the currently equipped weapon gets enchanted. And baiscally all of my characters had weak weapons which I wanted t use up, like a Handaxe with 3 uses or a Armorbreaker or what not. Because of this, I just couldn't kill Ashera. Man, that was fun.

Ew, boat paralogue. Ew, Shigure. Ew, Shigure's boat paralogue.
Ew, enemies that aren't in formation on Lunatic. What is this? Hoshido? :x
Midori's paralogue has the same problem. Willing to bet Sophie and Deere's too, not that I can get them because I don't feel like training a Lv. 14 unpromoted Silas and Jakob against Lv. 18 promoted enemies. Funnily enough, Kana's doesn't despite being one of the shared children. The Nohrian children's paralgoues I've seen (Velouria, Soleil, Nina, Ophelia) certainly don't. Speaking of Ophelia...
I CAN FINALLY GET RID OF ODIN (after I finish Ophelia's paralogue)! I only had to suffer him for 19 chapters, putting me right at the very end of the game!!Now I feel bad for not finishing a Lunatic Odin run. >.>

Ophelia is da bae (*´﹃｀*) . Her paralogue map design is not that good tho.
40% critical. Felicia mom gives her better skill activation. Great mother for Kanna. Just a pain in the ass to get in Lunatic Conquest.
Elfy is a goddess too as a unit too. They also share voices. Both are bes.

Went Azura!Ophelia myself. Maybe not the best pairing, but 31 Mag and 31 Spd at Lv. 18? I can't complain.
And yes, Effie's an armored god.

You didn't go Elise? You're a heretic (should have gone Elise!Ophelia).
Oh man, you must not like Effie's western voice at all.

See, I would, but...
Oh I thought you married Ophelia and not Elise, hence my confusion, or did you femrin it up?

definitely should have, you still can whip one up real quick!
I have not seen any western footage so I wouldn't know. My preference for English is probably different from most of yours anyway since I can understand and I speak broken english.
They went with a totally different feel with Elfie's voice, very deep and machismo.

that's probably what happens when you tell the voice actor nothing about the character expect she likes food and is very strong
