Here's an album with more photos of the Camilla figure.
1. I had tickets to NYCC yesterday but I diidn't go as I had other stuff come up, so I'm kinda grumpy that I missed seeing that. Although since I got the figma Link and Zelda pins, that they were giving away ... I'm not that grumpy.
2. I don't mind fanservice usually, but wow that really does look awkward.

not really liking the paintjobs on Camilla
winter wonfes is the earliest I bet, if not summer wonfes. inb4 Corrin figma suffers the same fate as Lucina figma

Think this confirms that this is a partnership with GSC as it was at their booth right.

I'm guessing Nintendo just asked them if they can lend a space on their booth for Camilla, that's all.
I thought I could take the risk :/
Nice to see someone else getting theirs too, I have mine ordered as well. It's not yet shipped, but thankfully I should be getting it on the day of release. Really looking forward to it!

re-release? i'm betting her blush faceplate problem is still the same as the 1st release
It's different, but barely noticable.
Something like that. The blush faceplate doesn't look too great, hence why i'm using the stoic/Marth combination for the head. Honestly, i'm more bugged by how frustrating it is to get the hands to properly hold the sword than that.

Fates Lunatic 0% growths now featuring Conquest too!
(that leaves what, FE12/13 as the only games that can't be beaten on the highest difficulty? Revelation is almost certainly doable too, also not counting PoR Maniac)

I'm looking forward to seeing how Fuga/Shura/Ryoma/Xander, etc. save the day.
My Awakening artbook is in the post office waiting for me, even though my payment method failed. Indigo what are you doing (I called now and sorted it out)
Also I keep Lucina in this pose/face/whatev, I haven't thought of anything else for her.
Started reading the Awakening artbook, it's pretty large. 100+ pages of supports too which is nice since I didn't get many and haven't seen them all yet. Also a Chrom

Lucky! Really envious of the fact that you're getting this a week early since the release date is supposed to be the 18th.
Yeah kinda odd, I guess Chapters ships out books when they arrive or this was a one-time thing. It was also weird when I noticed it arrived but they charged an expired card. I thought they'd make sure the charge goes through and then ship. Not complaining though, it's pretty nice (and a tad hefty, wew)

got my fe:a artbook today
it's so heavy
it's also bigger and thicker than the japanese edition
i guess it being hardcover makes a difference
don't see anything they didn't include from the original so this is a pretty splendid release

So have we given up hope on Fates getting the Scramble DLC?
I totally forgot about it. At this point maybe they're waiting for the Corrin amiibo?
And nothing it looks like, eShop day has already passed. RIP. Goodbye to all hope of having unlimited Hero and Exalt Brands. Someone should make a thread if there isn't already one, because this is kinda dumb we're missing out on some character development and some nice gameplay perks. :/
In case anyone's interested, I'm doing my first ever Ironman playthrough of Fire Emblem 7 as YouTube Let's Play.
Standard Ironman rules, with a Lords clause so that if a Lord dies, I'll restart the chapter and continue the game, but I'll sacrifice a character in their place (I'll put the choices in a poll on YouTube and Twitter so that viewers can decide who that should be).
I'm having to play the forced tutorial Lyn Mode and Eliwood Normal Mode since it's a brand new game on the Wii U Virtual Console, so I've turned off battle animations until Eliwood's Mode, but I am following the story (with terrible voice acting to boot).
Part 1: Lyn Mode - Prologue
Part 2: Lyn Mode - Chapter 1
Looking forward to it!

Was about to say the same thing. This basically turns me away from buying all their DLC in the next installment :\

The DLC for Fates always seemed kind of odd to me - even if you go by the Japanese release there was never any max difficulty or general post-game focused maps - and there are still skills ready for DLC which were never distributed. I'm not sure why they changed their approach from Awakening's model. They just needed to have better production values and design.

I learned my lesson about buying map DLC from Awakening...also PVP is basically your "postgame".

Sprites pls
Radiant Dawn style plot, base and bonus exp system, HD Battle models and quick & fluid animation.
The Awakening/Fates system is here to stay though.
Sprites for maps, yeah. Hated SD/nMoE's prerendered bullshit.

Screw sprites, time to go full 3D and make it good this time.
-2D Animation (Sprites are fine but i'd personally love to see a handdrawn entry in the series, if only to see how stylish they could make the transition from map to battle. Also so critical animations aren't so visually dull as they've been in Awakening in Fates, albeit the latter showed some signs of improvement)
-A story and set of villains that isn't/aren't terrible this time (preferably with Yasumi Matsuno scripting it)
-No more <Avatar name here>
-Don't repeat the Soleil debacle/give us gay characters/same sex options if marriages are included (as in more than one and without the creepy conversion therapy)
-If included, handle marriages a la Seisen No Keifu i.e. split the children and (most of) the adults into separate parts of a connected story
-Base conversations to make a comeback
-Keep the My Castle feature from Fates
-If monsters are to be included, have multiple kinds and make them more than simple palette swaps of basic classes
Basically, build off of Fates' excellent structure and correct its relatively easy errors in the next iteration and we could have the best game in the series.
This is where I stand too.
Full voice acting for story scenes would be nice. Now that Fire Emblem is a solid mid-weight for Nintendo I want to see them step up its presentation. If avatars have to go, then so be it. If they're here to stay, then stop writting the story and characters around them, it makes them feel like cheap self-insert mary sues. If there's no good justification for child units then drop them. I also hope they don't feel obliged to make 3 different versions just because Fates was a success. Take cues from map and challenge design from Conquest instead of Birthright.
If nothing else, just please make the plot more engaging this time.
Actual expectations: Awakening 3.0

I really hate how they've used the Avatars in the last two games.
I don't want them to be relevant to the story at all. Or give them a minor role, personal bodyguard to a main character if you want.
Like Oswin, he had a couple moments. I can't
actually think of a better example right now.
-I would also like Base Conversations. They add a lot to the characters. Hinoka could've used them for example.
-Better models and full voice acting. The way they keep using cutscenes without dialogue is really jarring now and the models goofy expressions don't help either.
-A option for sprite battle animations. I have no problem with the current set up but options are nice
-cut the children's or make them a part 2 of the story. Awakening was a okay try, Fates was terrible.
-i have mix feelings about the My castle. It's neat but also breaks some of the immersion for me. (Just a nitpick personally)
-let me save on the final battle
-I would like branching story lines like RD
-some chapters with your given fixed stats and can't level up like the children DLC. Those were pretty fun.
I've enjoyed the 3DS games but I hope IS continues to make changes to their games. I feel their getting FE to their full potential.

I'm going to miss the dual screen setup - it's not going to be unworkable or anything without it; but the ease of displaying information on both screens made for a noticeable QoL difference.
Considering how they started digging through the ground after how low Awakening set expectations in that regard; an absolute minimum of optimism would definitely be the safest choice. I'd actually like to see if they can produce a worse story than Fates, it'd be more interesting than a marginal improvement.
