@Discotew
Do you really want to miss out on the game's sexy boxart?

@Discostew My theory. Portable digital. Console physical! Unless the pre order bonus is worth my time then I rather have it with me at all times!!

I've watched all the cutscenes again (after you beat the game you can see them whenever you want, plus listen to the soundtracks, which is nice), and now that I've taken my time to fully enjoy them (I was rushing though the game, so I didn't really fully pay attention since I wanted to know the full story ASAP to avoid spoiling), I have to say the animators did a fantastic job. The style and detail is just downright breathtaking.

You can't take the truth back.

@DiscotewI personally went download this time and will probably pick the physical cart up one day used or whatnot just for the collection.

For the here and now, having the Fire Emblem in the 3DS at all times is kinda awesome what with spotpass and DLC.

Priceless ^__^
I think a Fire Emblem vs. Animal Crossing flamewar would be as hilarious as it would be unlikely.

I personally have always wanted to take a Silver Lance to Tom Nook's gut...

Who's with me?

-Raises hand- He gets on my nerves. I CAN'T BUY A FREAKING FISHING ROD WITHOUT HIM ON MY ARSE. Anyway, I just married Chrom and Sumia. I'm about to marry Lissa and Avatar. P.S. How do you repair weapons?

@TheLilK98 you can only repair weapons by using the Hammerne staff which is pretty rare...

I went digital because it was all sold out. Their's no difference between physical and digital, so the only reason I'd buy physical would be for the box, so can you live without the box? Personally I'm glad I went digital rather than waiting for my copy, but if you're really big on the boxes and manuals then you may just wanna wait a week (or so) for a physical copy.

@TheLilK98 I just buy more. Trust me, you wouldn't believe how many tomes my avatar went though, sometimes several in a single chapter or even round!

I really like the music in this game.

I cant find this game. i tried 2 gamestops and they only had the game bundled with the 3ds.

I'm starting to hate gamestop now

@Everyone who answered Thanks.
@CrimsonFire13 Same here. Around January 20th-21st I went online to pre order it from gamestop. Then I called them up and found out you can only pre order from gamestop IN-STORE(Which is just stupid) so the next day I go to gamestop to pre order and the guy's like "we're out of pre orders" so I'm like fine, I'll just pick it up on release. February 4th I walk in there, and they're all "well you shoulda pre ordered" So then I left. Friday I was out bowling with friends and we stoped by WalMart before we went home. I go to the 3DS case, and RIGHT THERE was a SINGLE copy of the game. Needless to say I bought it. I think I'll use WalMart from now on, since you can actually pre order online.

@Discostew: How many people in your home do you have wanting to play this game? If you all use separate save files, you can set up your StreetPass information on each of your 3DSes and help grind your party via StreetPass unit battles. If you don't want to fight, just have them put Frederick into their party so you can buy Silver Lances from them, haha. waiting and purchasing a physical copy to trade back and forth has actually been quite a big help for myself and my husband thanks to StreetPassing! :3

@theblackdragon - Well, I'm the only one that has a 3DS in my family, and am the only one that actually plays it, so I wouldn't gain that advantage a shared physical copy would grant. I think I'm going to go digital with this purchase, mainly because of the unlikelihood of me ever selling it, which is the main draw for physical purchases nowadays in the used market....plus I'm too late anyways for any possible pre-order bonuses.

I just had some great laughs from paralog 9. Marrying Chrom and Sumia was so worth it

Ugh. I want this game but I have to wait until Amazon gets more copies.
The guy at Target said they sold out almost immediately and I don't feel like checking the stores every day so I just have to wait.

Downloading right now

First shot at a strategy RPG since Battle for Wesnoth (PC) and Knights in the Nightmare (PSP)

Wesnoth is closer in style though.

Loved the demo

yeah idid that too i went and preordered it but they couldnt accept any more preorders

@CaptainMorpheus - Enjoy, its really good. I'm loving the supports myself

Alright so, what exactly happens if Lissa dies? Like does the story change at all?
I can't imagine Chrom not acknowledging her dying like in a cutscene or something.

I haven't had one of the main characters die yet, so I'm wondering how it affects the overall story and its various scenes after that. Is there just an empty space where they would have stood had they not died?
