Well, the backlash is very strong here. I think they might reconsider it if it's mirrored elsewhere.

The backlash is here, but how is it faring in reception in Japan?

 

[dakkumauji]

dunno what's wrong with all this

this all sounds amazing

 

[Busaiku]

After Codename S.T.E.A.M. and this, it's clear that IntSys are gigantic US comics fans.

The Gaffers who are playing ain't giving any negative feebadback for now (normal there're just begining to play). It's only the people who are seeing leaks that are complaining here and on Gamefaqs.

So like Reggie said : "play the damn game first then we could talk".

That's irrelevant and doesn't answer my question. Thanks anyways.

I really don't want to talk about it in non spoilers, and there is precedence what happened here in the series, in Gaiden and Awakening kinda , but this is way more than happened in those games.

I just wanted to clarify by backlash here, I only meant on this board, Serenes (the main fire emblem board) seems more mixed and I have no clue what Japan thinks about it.

Did you see Harold's TCG card? Its amazing.

I kind of accepted the FE of today (Awakening and Fates) is nothing like the GBA/GC ones.
The gameplay is still fun and that is what I care about.

 

[Sakura]

Wahhh which side do I choose!

Spoiler

Nohr of course

 

[Aizo]

Does somebody have a Japanese class list? 杖騎士の「杖」の読み方は？
The only fire emblem I've played in Japanese before was FE2, so I'm not used to these class names.

good taste

Check out Serenes (if it's not crashing).

 

[Fireblend]

I'm so damn hyped for this game.

I think I'm going to replay Awakening.

There you go. It's currently compiling info for the game so just keep checking.

Here's another resource that's currently updating.

My copy comes in a couple days and I really can't wait (´；д；`)

Trying to stay on a blackout until then. Please remember to mark spoilers and remain courteous so that we don't scare people away from buying/trying the game.

 

[Finale Fireworker]

Have there been any reviews for the game yet? How are player impressions? Does this game deliver?

 

[OricWindstar]

Not sure if anyone has posted this yet, but someone has started uploading the soundtrack. And it sounds awesome.

New version of the song we've been hearing in the trailers.

 

[Aizo]

There you go. It's currently compiling info for the game so just keep checking.

Just what I was looking for. Thank you, Shun!!

 

[Qurupeke]

Wahhh which side do I choose!

Nohr of course

But Sakura is on Hoshido. You'll betray your family name?

oh cool. time to bookmark for future reference. i do sometimes wish wiki for JP games primarily within the same site, like wikia for most english wiki

I feel the same.

Elise is on Nohr though.
Can't be helped!
Sorry Sakura.

The way the routes are handled in the E-Shop version sure is clumsy. Just finished the introductory chapters and now I have to download the Byakuya path. What the hell.

I think the way the choice is handled is interesting though, choosing Byakuya just "feels" right especially considering what happened just right before, but I care more for the Anya characters. Going to play both anyway so I went with what I assume to be the inferior route first.

It's only 865 blocks. Pretty sure you're just downloading data to unlock it or whatever.
But yea. I felt like an ass choosing Nohr. Oh well

Well. That sounds familiar. A medley of past FE battle themes? Neat.

 

[Blackquill]

Well. That sounds familiar. A medley of past FE battle themes? Neat.

This is the battle theme of the first Fire Emblem and the remake Shadow Dragon.

Oh, I didn't even realize that.

 

[Zero²]

Ugh this game is making me seriously consider buying a 3DS.
But I'll have to resist, WiiU is just enough for the time I have for gaming, if I got a 3ds I'd kiss bye bye to my study hours lol
Anyway, the soundtrack is amazing! And the story seem really interesting too.

 

[GeekyDad]

Any chance we'll get an ultimate version kinda like we do with Pokemon where the content of both games is included in one package?

Japan has a Collector's Edition that packs the two games on one cart and a code that grants the third path for free. We may or may not able to get it here in the west

Which sold out in a day iirc!

 

[javadoze]

I simply can't wait to pour a bajillion hours into this. Though I'm now wondering which difficulty I should choose now. With Awakening, I chose Casual/Hard for my playthrough since I wanted to 100% the game without worrying about characters dying off (and I heard the game's normal difficulty was too easy).

Now, I'm thinking of going Classic/Normal for this one (simply because of how many times I'm going to be playing through it).

 

[kuroneko0509]

reposting from the community thread for those who are interested

looks like Treehouse is handling the localization, if he's serious in this tweet https://twitter.com/danfazio/status/613770590311182336

sold out in less than 1/2 a day... heck i think the initial amazon jp batch doesn't last for 2 hours

 

[KelpNugatCrunch]

I can't wait for this. My biggest issue with Awakening is that it didn't feel like Fire Emblem to me. All the classes were too homogenized imo and every map had either a rout/seize condition which was baffling to me.

From what I've seen on twitch streams Hoshido is basically Awakening style, where every map is a rout/seize, and Nohr is supposed to be like previous FE games. If this is true I think that's great. Hoshido for people who were fans of Awakening's gameplay and Nohr to provide a bit more of a traditional experience.

I wonder what the third path will be like. Jugdral? I'd be so, so happy if it was.

 

[StayDead]

Just brought this on the eShop. Part of me as a big Fire Emblem fan wants me to start with Nohr, but part of me wants to start with Hoshido. AHHH I have enough trouble naming a character, let alone picking an entire story to follow. ;_;

I'm gonna start with Hoshido. It'll put the more traditional style gameplay of Nohr into context for me

So if you use the voucher for the 3rd campaign it should theoretically be "usable" with any version of the rest of the main game right? Thinking of just purchasing the digital version of anya oukoku and using the SE voucher for the 3rd campaign because after reading that one spoiler ITT I kind of don't want to play the byakuya route anymore ( ´_ゝ&#65344

reposting from the community thread for those who are interested

Yes, John of 8-4 also mentioned that they're not the ones working on it this time.

 

[The_Darkest_Red]

8-4 killed it on Awakening but Treehouse always does great work as well.

Can't wait, bros.

How's the quality of the Treehouse's localizations? Do we have any games to use as references?

 

[Josh7289]

Curious if anyone knows. The TCG boxes and starter decks have some download codes for characters, I think, in Fire Emblem if. Are they exclusive to those TCG products or are they also available separately on the eShop or something?

 

[SolVanderlyn]

Paper Mario series, IIRC.

Oh, no way. I was a huge fan of 8-4's work on Awakening.

there's no such thing as 'anya oukoku only' digital copy. all digital copy are the same, barred your path will be locked once you pick your path. and, i guess you're trying to say that you'll double dip digital & physical version since you have the 3rd route DLC code from SE? no one is forcing anybody else to play a route.

 

[Semajer]

On the subject of localisations, does anyone know who did Path of Radiance and Radiant Dawn?

Yeah I know how it works, I'm saying buying the digital version of the game and choosing anya oukoku. Shipping/customs will take a week or two for me so double dipping would be for the purpose of being able to play it immediately. As long as the DLC code works for either that is.

No Idea, but John said it was in good hands

 

[javadoze]

Treehouse, I think?

 

[Semajer]

Treehouse, I think?

I wonder why they didn't translate Radiant Dawn's extended maniac mode script then. I'm pretty sure that different people would have been behind translating the two games, as there are inconsistencies between them.

 

[TheSlySoul]

The character creation looks weird...

Class trailer is nice though, interesting it is used as the title screen.

 

[Shun]

Of the revealed TCG chara so far, all of them except Minerva are available via amiibo.

You'll need to get a code for Minerva from buying a pack.

 

[woopWOOP]

So, is there a nice list of recruitables per story? With portrait images?

Need to plan out my ultimate team (of cool lookin' folks) to destroy all Hoshido scum.
