    Come on man. Go down this rabbit hole with us. Yeah, if you're new to SMT things are gonna get weird as fuck.

    But embrace the weird. It's gonna be glorious.

    LOL, nope! I love my anime (mostly from the 90s), but this game looks so far and away what I'd like to be spending my gaming time on. I don't even know why they have the FE stuff involved, there doesn't look to be anything remotely FE about the game to me.

    Again, I'm not hating on the game, I just know it's not for me.

    Now I can see why you don't work for Nintendo any more :lol:

    Daycare killed my Nintendo job. $2000/month for the opportunity to make less than that and have strangers watching my kid? Nope. :(

    You only have one kid how is it that much? That sinks, we had found one for less that that with both our children, but then we ended up just paying my mil to watch them. Got lucky on that one.

    So TMS#FE uses Fire Emblem stats and Shin Megami Tensei skills. Good thing I'm already familiar with both.

    Though one question I couldn't find the answer for in the manual: Are stat improvements when leveling up random, Fire Emblem-style, or aren't they?

    Release day delivery used to be free, maybe it's because I haven't ordered a physical disc from them in a while, but I was shocked to see it costs $6 now... :(

    Everyone has a price. Throw enough gold around and someone will risk disintegration.

    For me it's still included with Prime. No extra charge.

    Get games cheaper, still on release day and delivered to my doorstep.

    Just picked up my copy, wooo

    Already listened to the soundtrack in the car on the way back from the store.

    Also, reminder that the best place to talk about the game is the SMT thread.

    The game is coming at a funny time. That layoff I was worried about finally happened yesterday, so while getting my resume out there I'll have a bit of extra time to put into it. So yay? :P

    Don't worry too much about it - it seems way more lenient in this game. Hell, I just got 3 (!) Strength in one level-up for Itsuki.

    Also, since there's a very small pool of characters compared to regular Fire Emblem games, I doubt that the characters' stat growths are so low that they could potentially become useless.

    Fire Emblem Awakening was actually my first Fire Emblem game, and I kind of loved it.

    Eventually during a buy two get one deal I will grab the new games, but I have enough to play right now. I finished Xenoblade X main story in just enough time for TMS to come out.

    I drank too much on my wedding anniversary dinner last night and now I can't sleep. Luckily I'm still drunk enough to think buying TMS#FE on the eShop is a good idea so I'm doing that.

    I haven't played the Persona games, but I played a good way through SMT IV and it certainly feels a lot like that. That had the thing where you got extra turns if you hit their weakness, whereas this gives chain attacks.

    I really like the presentation and the GamePad is used pretty well (I'm gonna miss the GamePad if the NX doesn't support it).

    I didn't think I'd be that keen on the pop idol stuff, but all the colours, stars, sparkles, etc are pretty cool.

    UnbreakableVowUnbreakableVow Registered User regular
    Yeah, I'm generally pretty down on the Game Pad but this is one of the few cases where it actually works well

    Still not necessary (you could just as easily hit Select on a normal controller for the same effect) but a neat touch

    One of them is going to be, we're just not sure whether it's 3DS or Wii U. It's very unlikely that they'll decouple both, although possible.

    You'll need to stack your Wii U on top of your NX and then cast a void circle around it to transfer the essence. It takes about 2 hours and if anything goes wrong you have to start all over. It also removes the use of those games from your Wii U.

    I do have a metric buttload of VC games on my Wii that I really wish had gotten upped to the WiiU store.

    Chrono Trigger, Secret of Mana, Final Fantasy 2 and 3...

    I hope they can somehow continue access to those, even if I have to access a Wii menu inside a WiiU menu inside an NX it will be worth it.
