Yeah I think the localization been pretty good so far, though many of the voices are questionable. Everyone keeps saying something about meme's, but I've honestly yet to see anything that I would classify as a meme.

How can anybody hate Kana, she's adorable, better then Morgan and Lucina.
tho it probably helps that she knows her parents and her parents know her.
The word meme has lost its meaning anyways, any joke is now a meme apparently

It should be once per save file. Did Chrom, Frederick, or Lissa die on your second attempt? All three need to be alive when the mission ends to get the seal.

Got Conquest in the mail, will be starting tomorrow hopefully. Pretty busy this whole week, but I'm looking to really dig in on Sunday.
Been seeing a lot of screenshots with some abysmal dialogue. Should I expect that for the game's dialogue as a whole?
Really off putting if so. Will still play and enjoy for the gameplay, but I guess I was expecting at least something better than this garbage.
I may be in the minority but I definitely prefer the top images / localized version. I would much rather a bit of silliness in place of characters who talk like robots. "I'm happy. I'm really happy ...!"

So can I play conquest as a Female Corrin and Norh as male or no? I have the special edition so no seperate carts here.

The localization is actually pretty good from what I've seen. Voice acting is a bit off at times but it gets the job done.

You get the DLC reward when the three Awakening characters survive the mission, but only once per save file (not per game).

Ahh I forgot that Lissa died on my second attempt. Got herself pulled into the enemy's maw by Lunging ninjas. Thanks, time to try again.
Conquest is Nohr, but otherwise yeah you can switch it up. I'm doing Birthright as Male Corrin and then Conquest as female Corrin. You get 9 saves anyway (3 for each game). Though I do think you have to start from New game rather than using the Branch of Fate thing to start from Chapter 6, don't think you can choose gender starting from there, though I may be wrong.

The localization has a few really iffy spots, but overall it's okay. The voice acting is pretty bad, though. Most of the characters sound monotone and vanilla, unlike the clips they used in Awakening which I thought did a really good job of conveying personalities. The lack of any voice clips hurts the support conversations a lot, imo.

Your initial servant is the opposite gender of your character, otherwise I don't really think so.
I'm cool with it myself.

Ahh ok. Just wanted to make sure I wouldn't be stuck across all 3. Thanks.

If you're male,
Felicia follows you into the decision battle and joins you from then on permanently. If you're with a female avatar, it's Jakob that appears there. Either way, the other one still joins your army later.

Just finished chapter 8 and I've already found mai waifu.
Hana. Cute samurai girl who is your little sisters bff.
That hits all of my fetishes.

I'd agree the Japanese example is pretty stale, but I think there's a happy medium somewhere in there. I'll trust you guys tho, excited to get playing and see for myself.
lol the dialogue is bad in both. and i mean isn't this really a staple of the series? extremely corny dialogue?Got Conquest in the mail, will be starting tomorrow hopefully. Pretty busy this whole week, but I'm looking to really dig in on Sunday.

You can make a new character for the other campaigns and start from the point where the game branches.

Is anyone else having a bad time with Setsuna's growth's? She's currently at level 13 but since I gotten her, I've only gotten more than 3 stat boosts twice.
The problem is the bottom isn't Japanese, it's some shite fantranslation that probably bears just as little of a resemblance to the original text as the localized version
The supports convos are actually really nice and I love the ones between Corrin and Azura with their siblings since he its trying to connect with them and the other deal with how awkard Azura situation was all this time.
Oh, and you all better leave Setsuna alone because she is a great archer and her boredom is poinT (That moment when she say "Victory, Victory" in the most dispassionate tone ever is hilarious)

Mine has had terrible growth, and I've just benched her for a better archer. She's had a lot of levels for me where she only got one stat increase.

So my Corrin at level 20 promoted now has maximum defense, strength, and skill. He's really a goddamn beast.

I went expecting terrible localization from all the buzz, but I think it's been pretty good as well. The random audio clips sometimes have no bearing on the situation, though. I'm not sure why everytime I want to leave my castle, the woman shouts "Didn't expect that!" Haha, so odd.

Even better than what I thought, nice.

I might capture more characters once in a while just to see more of these lines.
It was amusing to see the Hoshido guy (who turned out to be named "Yamato") all scared by Elise's persuasion, somehow. "Yamato" wasn't just a random soldier I captured though - in spite of being a generic he had stats almost on par with my Samurai Odin and the Life or Death skill, even though it's not a samurai skill. Too bad my party doesn't have free space at this point.

That was also the case in Awakening, it's nothing new.
You could cheese it after getting the treasure too. Corrin can reach the exit within three turns from his/her starting position.
Yeah, that's when it started to get pretty rough in Conquest too, beat it tonight though and thoroughly enjoyed. Probably play Birthright at some point in the future since I didn't manage to snag a SE

The dialogue shit the bed and there are a lot of memes, pickle sandwich lovers, and pieces of dialogue that..well..don't exist in our version (in the JP version two ninjas speak dialogue, but in the NA version there is just blank space in the dialogue boxes because haha ninjas are quiet)
But it's whatever, I'll still play the game and the korean version too.

The localization is better than I thought it would be. The memetic jokes aren't bothering me really.
The big disappointment is the VA. It's awful.

That's probably what I'm going to do on my next attempt. Made the mistake of walking it on my last go, so while Silas and Hinoka ran away for dear life, my main group of units weren't organized enough to deal with the minor enemies up there. Will probably just use Hinoka and Sabuki to escort people over there.
I do access my supports at the castle. Just hit A when in a position where you won't interact with anything.

True, but it seems even crazier this time around.
Yes, Arthur's voice is perfect.

This game beats awakening in that the thousand year old dragon (not literally but the older loli looking character) character actually acts like a mature lady who's tired of being treated like younger than everyone else.

Also something I discovered today which would have saved me loads of headaches and time.
When you're fighting an invasion, don't worry about positioning buildings so enemies don't destroy them.
Even if destroyed they'll come back after the battle. Enemies go for them for the bonuses not just to be dicks.
So if you have shit that hurts enemies keep it as far away from the entrances, otherwise don't worry about it.
