Nicely put, though while there's no doubt I'll thoroughly enjoy the game, it will be a troublesome personal transition from the sequential Zelda I've grown up with.
From both the trailer and gameplay I got a mix of familiar feelings of other (not gameplay, more nostalgic), Nausicaa, Shadow of the Colossus, and strangely enough Journey.
@Lin_hyrule Oh Lordi YES! When I saw the trailer I was close to tears, mainly of how it reminded me of Nausiica of the vally of the wind. Plus from Pkmn Sun and Moon, I got hints of plot that will hopefully derail from the traditional formula.
@PlywoodStick What's more ironic, on Solgaleo's part, Iron is produced in a star (or sun in this case), which is a telltale sign that it's nearing the end of it's life. It's not exactly the iron that kills the star, more along the line of it being the cosmic equivalent of throwing ash an a fire. P.S. Sorry if I'm acting as a bit of a know-it-all
I just love the art style for this game, something you don't often see in most mainstream (sorry for sounding like a hipster). On first glance I thought the battle system would be akin to fruit ninja, but I'm digging the fact enemies not in your field of vision can still attack, making it far more reactionary.
@Lin_hyrule Well seeing how the demo is easily accessible, why not try it and see whether or not it's worth buying. I myself have tried it, and while I wouldn't call it "bad" per say, more confusing.
@OtakuGameArtist While it's not Nintendo, I'd recommend persona 3 for the PSvita or, if you wait a bit, Persona 5. Just look up Persona 5 on youtube, you won't be disappointed, albeit slightly confused on what's going on.
@Lin_hyrule On the plus side it's introduced alot of people to one of the rarest things on the internet; a clean comment section. Well done nintendolife for introducing yourself to me.
@Lin_hyrule Indeed, plus we got E3 in like what? a week and a bit; not only are we getting Zelda, but also POKEMON SUN AND MOON (Still torn between which version and which starters (leaning towards Rowlet or Popplio, how about you guys), and for our cross console fans, there's also PERSONA 5
@Frank90 Plus it broke the framework the previous gens set up: Older protagonists, a region not inspired by Japan, and introducing N one of my favourite villains from the series; mainly because I felt he was much savvier than others (sorry if I might be stepping on some toes), for example, HE ACTUALLY USES THE LEGENDARY IN BATTLE AND IT IS EPIC!
@Arcamenel I get where ya' coming from. Maybe rather going full neon genesis evangelion on it and go fan deterringly dark, they could go more in the direction of gravity falls/undertale/steven universe; a light-hearted world with a deeper storyline. Think Black and White but a few shades lighter (pun intended).
@Frank90 Same here; I know alot of people were divided on Black and White, but it was one of the few generations where I felt engaged with what was happening. The main problem with the first 4 generations and 6 was that the gym leader and villain plot felt completely separate, so it felt jarring having to alternate between the two.
Call it a tad random, but Kukui seems to remind me of Junpei from the Persona series. In fact, with the theme of persona 5 being based around society; Pokemon Black and White centred around a parody of peta (Plasma), maybe we could get a parody of social justice warriors. Sorry if I might be stepping on a few toes.
@DraconianPrinces Thank you, hopefully the wiki won't be Robin me of the story. Tempting fates haS always been the thoron in my side. So long as I avoid, my experience won't be so grima
In preparation for either winning the competition/buying a copy of Birthright, I've just been looking up tips for leveling up characters. If anyone knows where I can get more info could you please me a link.
I think I might have a theory, they're saving announcing the winner on their next video. If that is the case then we just need to wait it out for a couple more days. Plus for most of us it is the half term, so we can alternate between this, revision and some third thing.
It's only been two days, plus it is the half-term, so the winner could be on holiday. Nevertheless I agree that the anticipation is starting to slowly transition into impatience. On a more positive note, I hope people have used/enjoyed the avatar customization link.
Firstly, yes I know I said I'll come back after the winner's announced, but I'd just thought I'd leave this for those who have to get the game. https://kamuicustomizer.appspot.com/ It's basically an emulator of fates avatar customization. This way we can experiment on how our potential avatars may look like.
Now if memory serves me right, I do believe the guy playing Pit (Jellopocalypse) has done some voice work over on youtube. For anyone interested, here is a link to one of his videos https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ev1GU_DKC1k
@Lin_hyrule Thanks, and you too. And sorry if I'm repeating myself, but I just love the friendly atmosphere from the comments; no one being "politically correct", filling up hypothetical swear jars, just easy-going banter.
@Lin_hyrule Cheers, hopefully the computer will be working for me. Plus I don't want to steal your style, so I'll start with this link and see what else is available.

Re: E3 2016: Fresh Pokémon Sun And Moon Details Include New 'Mon And Battle Format
I do hope they improve upon the plot, as X and Y's left much to be desired.

@lilith Glad to know I've introduced you to Extra Play.
Re: Hands On: Whipping Hair Back and Forth in Shantae: Half-Genie Hero
@Steven_the_2nd I did not know that, cheers, makes me more appreciative of the independent game designers.
Re: Hands On: Whipping Hair Back and Forth in Shantae: Half-Genie Hero
@lilith Yeah, sorry about all the confusion I caused.

@BakaKnight I can agree to that. Wherever I am, I'm always coming up with crazy, yet structured, ideas.

Re: Win The Fire Emblem Fates Special Edition New 3DS XL and Limited Edition Game
Could be that they're preparing for E3
Re: Win The Fire Emblem Fates Special Edition New 3DS XL and Limited Edition Game
@Lin_hyrule How so? if you don't mind me asking

Re: Win The Fire Emblem Fates Special Edition New 3DS XL and Limited Edition Game
@OtakuGameArtist I know right. I was quite surprised by the distinct lack of swears and other distasteful word choices.
Re: Win The Fire Emblem Fates Special Edition New 3DS XL and Limited Edition Game
@Shinzai Thanks for the clarification

Re: Win The Fire Emblem Fates Special Edition New 3DS XL and Limited Edition Game
Still nothing huh? Well que sera sera. At the very least it means we all still have the chance of winning.
Re: Win The Fire Emblem Fates Special Edition New 3DS XL and Limited Edition Game
Here's hoping it's announced on Sunday. A WEEK SINCE THE CLOSING DATE
Re: Win The Fire Emblem Fates Special Edition New 3DS XL and Limited Edition Game
@Lin_hyrule Indeed, plus we got E3 in like what? a week and a bit; not only are we getting Zelda, but also POKEMON SUN AND MOON (Still torn between which version and which starters (leaning towards Rowlet or Popplio, how about you guys), and for our cross console fans, there's also PERSONA 5
Re: Win The Fire Emblem Fates Special Edition New 3DS XL and Limited Edition Game
I'm guessing the announcement will be at the end of the week.

No News Yet on the emblem front. There is however pkmn Sun and Moon news: ROTOM POKEDEX
Re: Legendary Pokémon Revealed and Alola Region Shown Off For Pokémon Sun and Moon
So good, so bad I can't decide which version and which starter to get.

Re: Win The Fire Emblem Fates Special Edition New 3DS XL and Limited Edition Game
@Lin_hyrule Don't worry, chill. How's this, should anyone in the comment section win, please say so. Yeah silly idea but hey ho, such is life.
Re: Win The Fire Emblem Fates Special Edition New 3DS XL and Limited Edition Game
@DraconianPrinces Nice punning, much better than my "claiming birthright" pun. Had to apologize for that one (although that was self-imposed)
Re: Win The Fire Emblem Fates Special Edition New 3DS XL and Limited Edition Game
Day 3 since closing date, checked email, still nothing. On a higher note, Sun and Moon news tomorrow.
Re: Win The Fire Emblem Fates Special Edition New 3DS XL and Limited Edition Game
@Shinzai Amen to that, a friend of mine is still soldiering on for exams.

@Lin_hyrule Wait do you mean me or just everyone?
Re: Win The Fire Emblem Fates Special Edition New 3DS XL and Limited Edition Game
@Lin_hyrule The only problem being the reply option is so darn addictive. So I'll see you later when the winner's been announced.

@Socar It's usually the case. It's kinda like early screenings for upcoming movies, making sure the word that's spread is a good one.
