Fire Emblem Fates General Discussion: Filled with Nohrian Scum

[bloomwaker]

Looks like I'll be looking to my WiiU once I get through a bit more of the backlog (I still have Xenoblade Chronicles 3DS port to play through, for example).

Maybe they'll decide to release more of them again in the future, through that accounts program they're going to be starting.

weeping cause no australia release date :'(

My friends from EU are weeping as well. I feel bad for them. At least other regions get Bravely Second before we do! Though that won't mean much to the friend that doesn't play that game at all.

 

[lars708]

Looking forward to this game! Even though i have no idea when it releases...

 

[Heyden]

GIVE ME A RELEASE DATE NINTENDO ;(

 

[mirukushake]

I'm thinking EU/Australia will probably get it mid-April, since it looks like the Bravely Second/Fates release dates are swapped for Australia/EU and NA (which gets BS in April).

 

[Ayaya]

For people who are playing the Japanese copy of FE:if, Nintendo is having a sale for the extra scenarios from 2000 yen to 1000 yen! This means two extra scenarios at the price of one

Sale will last until Feb 29.

Hahaha, yeah, someone tried cheering me up by saying "You get Bravely Second!" and I was like "And that's supposed to make me feel better how exactly?", LOL.

I'll probably be stalking this thread when you guys get to play Fates. I'm very much looking forward to seeing how people play (like which game to start with, which difficulty, and so on). ^_^

 

[Thunder]

That's rough, I don't know what I'd do if I had to wait as long as you guys. Hopefully the EU release won't be as bad as Story of Season's release was.

I'm playing easymode on all three the first three plays, by which I mean Casual, not Phoenix.
Once I get through the stories the first time I'll be going back and playing the more difficult settings on Classic, like I did with Awakening.

I'll be starting with Nohr, since it's the one I'm most interested in between the first two, and then go to Revelations, since that one should be done last for story reasons. At least, that's my understanding.

How bad was it?

NA got Story of Seasons on March 31st, 2015, EU got it December 31st, 2015, and AU got it earlier this year.

I think by the time EU got a release date I was already bored of the game ?\_(ツ)_/?

 

[Mars Adept]

I'm guessing the release date would be about one year after the Japanese version for EU. Just guessing because that was the case with Awakening.

Holy crap this is horrifying.

In the meantime, the fact that it's so close for NA is actually slowly chipping away at my sanity. I was doing better when we still had a whole month or two to go.

I plan on playing Birthright first (mostly since it's newbie friendly and because I read playing Conquest before isn't a good idea for everyone), then Conquest and lastly Invisible Kingdom. I'm kinda curious if someone would play Birthright and Conquest at the same time; that'd be rather interesting. ^_^

While part of me is going "I want this game NOW!", I'm also telling myself "No, wait, this is good, how about you finish some other games FIRST and then get three new ones at the same time, okay?" Because knowing myself, I might get a liiiiittle obsessed and do nothing else than play Fates, LOL.

I actually made a list of games I need to continue/finish playing and what goals I have for those and I was all like "Yeah, okay, so maybe it's actually a GOOD thing Fates doesn't have a release date yet". I also kinda made a deal with myself that I need to at least either completely finish a game OR get several goals out of the way and then I'll allow myself to buy Fates, LOL.

That aside; is someone planning on buying the DLC? From what I've read about it, I might actually buy all the maps. Not sure yet, but it seems like it'd be worth the money? (I don't regret buying EXPonential Growth and Golden Gaffe for Awakening, but I'm not entirely sure I want to buy another DLC for Awakening or instead get the DLC for Fates.)

 

[Cress]

I still think it'll be a swap between this and Bravely Second, so Europe gets Bravely Second this month and we get Fates this month, then they get the other game in April. That said, I'd prefer Bravely Second first because I could complete that game in 2 months, but there no way I could finish all 3 paths in Fates before April lol

As for DLC, I'll have to read about it and maybe watch some videos. The only DLC in Awakening that I didn't buy was the very first pack, because of how boringly easy it seemed and the rewards were nowhere near as good as the ones in other DLC maps.

 

[bloomwaker]

I plan on buying the DLC as a pack. I like maxing out my units (at least my main ones). It gives me a sense of completion. That aside, there are some neat classes that are part of the DLC, like the witch class.~

Let's hope so! ^_^ But if that was the case, wouldn't there have been an announcement by now? I read that Europe gets the SE as well, so I'd guess with pre-ordering and what not, they'd inform people in advance. It's also why I'm stalking Amazon France, because the moment the SE is available for pre-ordering, I'm so doing that, LOL.

I like Witch; seems like a fun class! Not sure about Ballistician, though. Still, looks interesting as well. ^_^

 

[Halloqueen]

I'm a fan of using the ballistae in the games that they appear in, and it's nice to see that the actual ballistician class is making another appearance since it was pretty much just tied to Marth's games. Kind of a shame that it's tied to DLC instead of just in the main game.

Nice to see Witch back since it was only ever in Gaiden, the second game, which obviously never left Japan. Not particularly excited about the big, dumb, cliche witch hat (but then, I like the characters to look unique). The Witch's Cauldron skill seems pretty worthless but Witch's Poison seems a bit interesting.

Money being what it is, I'm probably not getting Conquest for a few days to a week after the games release. Here's hoping there isn't a massive shortage like there was with Awakening, but if there is, I won't be distraught or anything. I'm not excitedly anticipating the release since rumor has it the Conquest story is weaker than Birthright's and I'm not sure how much I'll care about the good tactics if I can't get into the story. We'll see soon enough.

I enjoy maxing out my units as well! Im really excited to see the new mechanics and classes and what not in the game, as well as returning ones I never got to use. Im also very excited to see the character development and who I end up using throughout most of each side!
