Topic: Fire Emblem: Fates

@Grumblevolcano Oh yeah I actually forgot about the wait for the third game if you don't get the bundle. I'm not actually that upset about it because it could end up taking me more than the 3 weeks to do the 2 first games anyway. They're not the only games I'm going to be playing. But that totally is another perk if you end up playing them really fast and don't want to wait. I can imagine that feeling.

@Eat_Pie
That's what I'm gonna do. I'll try to be there at opening, which I'm use to cause I woooork at that store. I so am expecting us to have like 1 or 2 and they'll be in a hidden spot maybe. I actually don't have much room at all on my SD card, I probably can't download any eShop titles. Just virtual console. I'm scraping the bottom of the barrel now on data space haha

I'll probably just end up scouring some stores and not find it anyway. It seems like it's always a 50-50 chance, even if stores get their shipments. When I tried to find Bayonetta WiiU on day 1 it was preorder only at all the Gamestops, Target didnt have it yet anywhere near me and Best Buy was hiding it as usual, which was where I got it after asking. I've had other weird runarounds like that before on day 1 with Nintendo if it's not a Mario, Pokemon, Animal Crossing or Zelda.

I probably won't be visiting this page for a bit, starting tomorrow.

I'll be getting the game (Birthright), but I'll be ordering it from Amazon, and I probably won't be ordering it tomorrow, so it may be a few weeks before I get it.

Yee I'll be avoiding this thread as well for a bit, my Conquest will be arriving around 1pm via UPS. Thankfully these aren't Star Wars spoilers, or I'd be avoiding the whole site again.

Spoiler alert: Corrin is a dragon

@TingLz: Way to ruin the entire game for me.

@TingLz
Nah, the bigger spoiler is that Corrin can be male or female.

2 more hours left till midnight release! I can't wait to play Birthright!

20 more hours until I get to play it after school!!! Uh, so far away. 😭

Fire Emblem Fates is available right now!
Time to play some Birthright!

12 more hours until I'm at the front door of Best Buy begging to see if there's a bundle

Male is Canon.
I went there.

Surprisingly enough, I'm at the 6th chapter where you have choose to defend Hoshido or fight with Nohr. I only own Birthright, but I have enough money to purchase Conquest. Which side should I choose? Or should I wait for Revelation? Or considering there's three files, is it possible to have one defending Hoshido, another one fighting for Nohr, and the 3rd one for Revelation?

@Sticker: It doesn't matter as long as you choose Revelations (don't choose a side) last due to heavy spoiler reasons. As for save files, you'll have 3 for each option.

I think the games will act as separate entries unless you have the special edition. So on your birthright game, you can only defend Hoshido on those 3 files.

How is the soundtrack in these games, not something I've seen discussed in most reviews of the game. Is there a good meeting theme, as the lack of one in Awakening was disappointing.

I really like the music they chose for the game and the animations for the different weapon styles is great to see. I love that attention to detail!

Just came back from the store. I bought both versions because I am crazy like that. I think this game is going to do very well and the split story thing will become a staple of the series going forward.

I'm waiting to get out of my job to go to the store and pick up my pretty special edition, but I've got two problems: A) I still haven't decided if I should do Birthright or Conquest first and B) since I only have time to play in the weekend, I still haven't finished XCX! Too much good games, but so little time...

Now for the difficult question. Which version will you buy the 3rd path on?
