Fire Emblem Series!

I don't think with the game being out early that the spotpass stuff is set up yet anyway. Very exciting.

Mainly the art book. It looks nicer than I thought it would.

Assuming it's using the same spotpass stuff as the Japanese version, there's no reason it wouldn't be up yet.

[lindsy95]

Do they usually have the wireless internet stuff for games set up before release? I mean, they have to test it, and all that. But i don't think they'd just have that stuff sitting around when no one has the game.

Maybe for preview copies.

[Clamps]

But it's receiving the exact same data as the Japanese version.

Again, there's no reason why it wouldn't be set up.

Cool... Where'd you get the pictures?
On second thought... how'd you get the game? o_O

I though only those people who are reviewing the game got the game early...

Anyway, yeah. The artbook (and box) look(s) nice.
Too bad I can't get it~

And, hm... So it's not only me who was having problems with SF. That's nice to know... I guess.

Some EB Games locations in lolcanadia released the game early for some reason.

Apparently there was no street date in the system for the game to go out, so when someone went in to ask about a preorder they were allowed to purchase it instead.

I don't have the game :C

I asked some guys on GameFAQs to take some pictures.

Well... They're cool anyway. ^^

We're all waiting... 5 days left... just 5 days...

Edit:
Does anyone have any idea as to why Serenes Forest is down?

[Psychic Politoed]

Hey guys, is your body ready for Fire Emblem: Awakening?

[Moogles]

I'm seriously having a conniption fit and a huge childish temper tantrum because I LIVE IN CANADA YET NONE OF THE STORES IN MY TOWN HAVE RECEIVED THE SHIPMENTS

[lindsy95]

After asking around, something seems to have screwed up with database. They need to load from a backup, apparently.

EDIT: US retailers may start selling the game early. I still need to find better proof though. BRB.

Ouch. That's why they were down for the whole day. Heh, well, I can wait.
For the site to get back-up and for the game.
So yeah, it doesn't matter if they start selling earlier or not. Not for me, that is. I can wait... as much as I want the game.
I have to wait.

Edit: I hope Serenes Forest is okay... I wonder if they back up often. If they don't... then that's not very good news...

It would definitely be nice to get the game early, though without proof, I won't anticipate it much. If at all, though, it wouldn't hurt to release it even one day early. Monday doesn't seem like the greatest of days for a release, but again, I'm not complaining if Monday is when the wait ends. I can survive a few days, anyway.

It's not the database. The owner's Hard drive crashed.

Serenes is gone, probably for good unless he had a backup. And it wouldn't have taken this long to get a backup up.

Many gamestops are now saying they're not going to start selling it until Tuesday.

[AuraChannelerChris]

Luckily, the in-game Serenes Forest is still standing.

"I mentioned this in a similar topic, but the hard drive failed and we're restoring from the backups. The site is probably around 100 GB in size (just guessing), so it'll take a while."

Taken from GameFaqs, I guess it'll be fine.

Anyways, I doubt it'll hit the US early as well, seems too unlikely. I guess there's a chance, though. I have it preordered from Best Buy; will they call when the shipment comes in?

[lindsy95]

SF is back up, BTW.

The forums are still not there though. Forums are up~

But all the actual game info seems to be there :B

EDIT: Awakening is no longer available in Canada. XD The feb 4th date is back in effect.
Looks like the US won't be getting it early either. But this is funny.

...Ok, I set myself up for that one. :/ Wow, you weren't kidding? It appears now that Gamestop is a total mess, though, with the apparent lift of the street date. I called my Gamestop to be sure, and apparently, they say the release date is February 5th. I honestly don't know what I should believe now. :S

It definitely must be. I can only imagine how the people who let them buy the game early feel now. XD

[ParaChomp]

Wow, that's a far out idea.

So guys, how are you going to play; dub, sub, or mute?

I should have expected that to be a pun.
Personally, I'm going to play with the English dub the first time through, since I've heard good things about it, and they seemed great in the demo. I'll experiment a bit more with later playthroughs, though.

[Clamps]

Sully isn't a Bokuko in the dub. So original audio.

That score on Game Rankings...

Can't wait! ♪♪♪

[Zorocario]

This series needs more Shin Monshou no Nazo localisation.

Were they really surprised that Shadow Dragon sold so horribly? I didn't see a single advert for it in the UK and I only found a single copy in one shop which was the only one any of them had in stock. ON LAUNCH DAY.

That, and Shadow Dragon sucks.

Piece of advice: Get Fire Emblem and Path of Radiance and possibly Radiant Dawn. Fire Emblem and PoR are my favourites in the series by far.

Oh, and Soren for SSB4.

It doesn't suck, you just have to stick it out in the beginning. After that the game gets better, a lot better.

You also need to be careful of what characters you pick, because most of them are terrible and can make the game far more difficult than it really is.

As for Awakening, I'll be playing through with Japanese audio. Original audio is always the best choice.

[lindsy95]

Nah, every character is useable in this. It's the growths, man.

Unless were talking LTC or efficiency, or whatever.

Except for maybe Donny...el. But he is a trainee. And you get him at chapter 3 at the earliest.
