Fire Emblem: Fates Release date confirm

[Fox12]

This is obscene. So they cut the game into three pieces? I may buy the whole thing, but I expect a minimum of 3x the content present in awakening to justify the purchase. Otherwise it's just more price gouging.

In other words, if this is Zelda: Oracle of Time/Oracle of Seasons then we're fine.

If this is Pokemon Red/Blue then fuck this noise.

The two games take place in entirely different locations for the most part, do they not? Along with different casts and plots. That would seem to answer that.

Well, it would seem to. Could be misleading, with more overlap than they've let on.

Not necessarily. If, for instance, you experience many of the same battles from a different point of view then that would not justify the extra purchase. They may be two entirely separate games, with their own characters and plot, with only a small amount of overlap for plot reasons. That's fine. The fact that they're selling one at a discount, however, makes me fear that their reusing many of their assets, and they just divided one game into two or three pieces. They've released fire emblem games where you get to fight for both sides before. The difference is that they did it in a single game.

Like I said, if it's like the Zelda: Oracle games then it's fine. They were separate stories with a little bit of overlap for plot reasons. I just hope the franchise doesn't become greedy after one major success.

Unlike the PSV, most SD cards work with the 3DS. I have two, the 4GB one that came with my MH3U XL bundle and a £10 8GB one I needed to get SMT IV. Just use an old SD card out of a camera if you're worried about storage space. (Why the PS Vita can't do this is a mystery that will last the ages).

If you're thinking about getting a 3DSXL anyway, then as the proud owner of one I'd say it's absolutely worth it for the gorgeous large screen. Though it's probably more worth getting a new 3DSXL nowadays, especially if you're interested in Xenoblade Chronicles or the other new games that run at a beautiful 60FPS on it like MH4U.

Hmm, seems like I should go with the new model then.
I have a game downloaded that I really like, I'm guessing that'll be sent along with the transfer data?

'Cause while I WANT the game, if the save data dies, I'll die internally. (The cons of playing Rune Factory 4)

Wait, does anyone know if that whole censorship thing went down?
I heard they were cutting story from the game, in addition to the lewd shit and while the latter doesn't bother me awakening was trite.
I want a good god damned story this time around or atleast one that won't make me cringe.
So if they did fuck things up on localization I'd like to know before I piss my money away

I haven't heard any news about it for a while.
Yet the Fire Emblem fans/community are pretty much begging for no censorship.
I'm on that wagon, I just don't like it.

Question, I heard at least 2 of the kids from Awakening are characters in this new one. If so, does that make certain pairings in Awakening canon?

Also $80? Fuck that noise. Nintendo never does sales though, so I suppose I'll be going with the version of the game that /r/Fireemblem determines to be objectively better of the two.

And did anyone else think there was something off about the nintendo rep there? His voice seems to clear, like he said all the lines and then went into the sound booth and said them all again over the film.

Two of the kids are there through time travel, like Lucina was in Awakening. Fates however is the ancient past of Awakening, with the Hoshido and Nohr apparently the forefathers of the Ylisse and Plegia.

I'm just bitter because what news I've let get through my self-imposed news blackout has been nothing but cringe-inducing to my ears.

People, while I know I can't persuade you not to buy FE14, I at least want you to look at it for more than just being a 3DS game. Hopefully even play the rest of the games in the Fire Emblem series besides FE13.

Err what?

I been playing the franchise since Blazing Sword when Marth and Roy were introdused in SSBM (how that game starring Roy never got localized I will never know) so I'm kinda familiar with the franchise abit (I even played Shadow Dragon that Marth originally star in eventhought that was a bad remake). I'm pretty much stoke for it for the new features and characters as I enjoyed the hell out of the new mechanic from Awakenning.

Have you ever heard of the games that weren't localized, kid?
