Well:
-Game looks awesome
-I'm buying it next next
-That oni muscle chick Rinka is my waifu

The GBA games had an exception to the basic weapon triangle rule, namely Reavers.

Swordreaver - Axe that's strong against swords but weak against lances
Lancereaver - Sword that's strong against lances but weak against axes
Axereaver - Lance that's strong against axes but weak against swords

Yeah, they made me regret not checking my enemy units out. Even so, they were there to give certain classes an advantage against foes they would usually be at a disadvantage with because of weapon options. Dark weapons is a category on its own. So a Fighter will not be able to use a dark axe whatsoever and still be weak against a sword master. Nevertheless, it's not really a complaint, just an opinion. I'll use them regardless.

Is dark magic in this category of weapons too?

Edit: I feel salty. XD
COULD a swordsmen use a dark sword or something? While ax wielders will be able to use dark axes and so on? Even still though, I'm sticking to my first point.

Took me about 2 playthroughs of Awakening to realise you could check your enemy's equipment and skills.

Took ME multiple playthroughs of Sacred Stones to notice that your luck subtracts the enemy's crit.

Took me I don't know how many playthroughs of FE7-10 to realize that Luc DOESN'T contribute to your own crit rate.

I can't even remember when I got good at Fire Emblem. Like Smash Bros. It just happens.

Fire Emblem If’s pre-load weighs in at 24,666 blocks in Japan, which is roughly 3.083GB.

It took me many playthroughs of different FE games to realize about the importance of comparing Con stats of characters to weapon weight stats. For most non-promoted characters, steel weapons are useless because of reduced speed stat.

I heard that the download version makes you choose between the two paths. So could you in theory trick it into thinking it is a brand new copy, and play both paths without paying twice? Could an Action Replay-style cheat cartridge do this (assuming the download copy has both versions stored in the files)?

I don't know what to compare it to, but that sounds rather large for this type of game!

That makes it one of the biggest games on the system, almost as big as Resident Evil: Revelations, Xenoblade Chronicles 3D, and Bravely Default. Awakening + all of the DLC is less than 10,000 blocks.

Well Awakening was 8,579 blocks although it could be IF makes you download both versions of the game which is still more than twice the size of Awakening.

The two versions of If probably share most of their assets, so the downloading the second version should take up significantly fewer blocks.

I'm just gon ... buy it for now, thanks. Still, even when they simplify it, what could it possibly be to make it this large? My bet, cutscenes and a lot of 'em.

They've already said IF is bigger than Awakening plus you've got the new town building and amie thing is my guess.

And Amiibo too. Still, they are using the same engine as Awakening.

It seems to use Live2D tech for the amie thing, which might be clunky in file size. I know in the case of Bravely Default, uncompressed audio was the culprit. Might be the case for FE too.

So, there are already units that uses the tree original basic weapons. Will there be a class that uses magic, dark weapons, and bows instead?
With something to think about, have a nice day or not... The choice is yours. U_U

Hey, for those who don't know, the Japanese download does NOT contain either side of the story. You play the first few chapters, and when you make your decision at chapter whatever it is, the rest is downloaded and your choice is locked. So those 3GB are probably not even half of the download size. However I'm really not sure how much content will be downloaded, as any content shared by both versions would be downloaded first.
