I would say that an achievement system would be better than raw play time, because anyone can really leave their system open for a few hours to earn points - while on the other hand, (most) achievements require some kind of gameplay or etc. to obtain
I personally buy [physical] 3DS/PSV games 95% of the time, and buy [physical] PS4/WiiU games 75% of the time. The thing with the consoles is that discs corrupt over time, and there's actually a lot of space available (for the PS4, which is more 50/50). On the other hand, I love the mini cartridges used for the 3DS and PSV, so I get physical copies for most of those games (75+).
I think people are being too pessimistic. The game looks great, has an interesting soundtrack so far (I'm not the biggest fan of j-pop, but I'm open to the idea of having it in a game, cause why not?), and just looks plain fun. Sure, it may not have that many FE elements in it... but it doesn't exactly have too many SMT (NOT Persona) elements in it either (thinking SMT III/IV or Strange Journey)
The product is not a split and rough design of some identical FE/SMT elements found and placed in one game, but more of a, "fusion" between some of the two franchises in some ways (for example, Mirages). It doesn't have to have identical mechanics to be considered a crossover, in my opinion. I'm certainly going to buy it though, as I'm a fan of both franchises and want to see what Atlus and Nintendo have been working so hard on for the last few months/years.
Either way, we haven't seen all of the game yet - so let's all try to keep our eyes open and see what kind of surprises are present in the final product! Trust in Ishida, Hirada, and all the other Atlus/Nintendo programmers/etc. who have spent a lot of effort on making this product!
@ikki5 While it's expensive on our ends (/wallets), I'd have to say it's quite cheap in comparison to the other various small figures you see regularly in Japan ~_~ I've had my eyes set on so many nice figures, just to then find out that some are costing (according to CAD), upwards of $120 CAD... T_T.
Not really what I wanted... sadly Well, I know I'll be disappointed for 5 more years, but I guess we should be glad that we're still getting something... kind of...
Just...just don't let it disappoint as badly as SS did T_T
Exclusive 3rd Party Games (Atlus, specifically), Nintendo games (yeah, I love my FE, Pkm, and Mario) seal the deal ...+ the dual screen is really nice
Anyways, I have like 5 3ds' (including siblings n stuff), so that hits the 5th percentile! (wow, surprising). Also, I'm mega disappointed with NoA's decision to not release (at this point) the standard New 3DS... I won't be throwing them any cash until they do so, mostly because I just prefer the smaller size or the huge XL...
Since I haven't played ORAS or Smash on the 3DS, I gave my retail vote to Conception II (good game :3) Wii U...MK8 for that and Bayonetta for the digital
I really NEED a Bowser's Castle DS version REMASTER! Now! #bestbowserscastle ever made...at least my opinion XD DK summit remake might be nice too, and maybe wario colosseum
this looks like a clone of synesthetic from the app store - which is really nice (custom songs from your own library), so...probably not picking this up :v and I got syn. when it was free ho
EOIV is the best game on the 3DS for me, and I've played like 20 or 30 3ds games so far, one of the best games for the money (40$ for me, but 15$ is EVEN better!)
EOU is great, but not as good as EOIV SMTIV is also VERY good, I highly recommend it.
Of course, I'm an RPG Maniac, so I'm mad into rpgs FEA and RF4 are my other favorite rpgs (BDefault is okay imo) Hmm, Conception II is great if you are into anime and can handle a little bit of fanservice, and Soul Hackers is nice, but I haven't finished the game yet EOIV > FEA > RF4 > EOU > SMTIV > CII = BD > SH Actually already have CoP but haven't started (code of princess) Subjective, no hate fire pls
Ok, so im not super hyped, but im not too mad I like the ideas of new courses, but I'm not too sure about the non-mario franchise members being added to a mario game...I mean, if it were a nintendo kart then that'd work, but I don't see why they really added other players...though course and kart dlc has been something I've been waiting ages for
Begging for an EO V with a similar customization style as FE:A had....if you could give roles to your starter people, it would be easier to plot out a good story while including the exploration and etc. that Untold tried to do

EOIV is the best game on the 3DS for me, and I've played like 20 or 30 3ds games so far, one of the best games for the money (40$ for me, but 15$ is EVEN better!)

Of course, I'm an RPG Maniac, so I'm mad into rpgs
