Actually many gacha games do set their best units to only drop at 4* or 5*, and they're much better than the units that you can get at 3* that cap off at 4* or 5* by a significant margin.

This is meant to be releasing soon right? Any ideas how many more hours until launch?
no more than 24 hours
Yeah...
A 2*/3*/4* unit that can be upgraded to a 5* unit will rarely be as strong as a 'base' 5* unit. They want that gap there so people will spend the money for a chance to get them. If 2* units could eventually be as strong as base 5* units, a lot of the incentive to pull would be gone.
Could FE be different? Sure. But I wouldn't hold your breath.

Nope or we'd all be playing it/pulling relentlessly, rather than twiddling our thumbs talking about game mechanics.

Sounds correct to me.
This way you save a total of 5 orbs (1+1+1+2), which you could use to summon an extra hero.
Unless you want to pay of course, but even still, savings are savings.
You get the most out of your Orbs by spending 20 at once, so i'd say play for a while -> spend orbs -> play for a while
Since you can only pull 5 times with this benefit, you would only need to hoard 5 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 3 = 20 orbs to take full advantage of it.

cool. Any word on whether we can earn platinum coins with this game?
Or is my nintendo doomed to be another random poorly integrated nintendo feature only for certain games?

Whelp time to stop checking until tomorrow.
Its still the first in Europe.
well, technically it's tomorrow in Europe in 12 Minutes
Yup, I think it might be up in 7 hours or so... about the same time the Heroes voting updated

Not yet, but you can earn coins via Super Mario Run and Miitomo, so I don't see why not.
Ah, there's what I was looking for; didn't know about the 5 pulls limit. Thanks!

The problem is the current implementation doesn't seem very scale able. A new coin category for every new game??
It's hilarious that at this point Mobile Nintendo games are the best integrated online. They are the only ones with unified achievement and reward system (My Nintendo) and the only ones on an account system with proper digital content management (Play and App store). Oh, also the ones with friend lists that can import from social media. The fact that miitomo and SMR have separate lists though is baffling.
Wouldn't 18 hours from now put it releasing on the 3rd in Japan?
18 hours is too long for the 2/2 date to apply everywhere.
Midnight PST would be 2/2 in most places.

NoA have also tweeted that there was 1,200,000 votes and that the final results will be revealed shortly.
Will blood be spilled before or after midnight EST?

But Super Mario Run also released a day later than what they advertised in some countries.
quiet with your logic
They show new coins but it's still Platinum.

I know they are all platinum, just saying how it's organized on the site doesn't seem scaleable.
Some people are getting the Japanese release /apk.

I hope NoA makes a dedicated twitter account for any FEH stuff like Japan has already.

I'm pretty bad at sticking to mobile games, don't really enjoy that limited small pick up and play approach to digesting games, but I love FE and am pretty excited to see what we got here.
I guess the dead will inherit the earth and vote for obscure characters.
They better reveal it soon, I need a distraction while waiting for the game to release in several hours and no countdown.
Ah didn't follow that game, hopefully you're still wrong though. Would like to get a chance to play it a bit tonight.
That's probably the opposite of what would happen. They want the most desired character to be a carrot on a stick for your to keep playing.

We can dream chrono, we can dream.
What have we done!?
I mean, I'll re-roll hours for Tharja (days even!) if I need to, but having her in my Gift Box as soon as I start would be a welcome sight for sure.
So yes, let us both dream of the possibility, before this thing turns into a nightmare for us both and she gets a 1% drop-rate. :/
Elincia-sama is guarantee at this point. I'm going to have a army of QUEENS!
Not sure I want to live in that world.
Yeah, I was talking about the official release.
