Added on June 13, 2012, 7:25 ambrought mine. later gonna try it out and give a short review. my second game for my Japan 3ds. hope is a no-brainer game.

first 3 hour impression. it is a good game. a very different tactical game that i played before. this is my first fire emblem game. with the new introduction of double, where two character engage as one to boost some of your character stats.

job base wise is quite balance with weakness and resistance. still getting a hangover about the game system. is kinda complicated and hard. yes i choose a hard mode.

heavy based storyline so if you want to enjoy the story either wait for English or see someone to translate it.

very very tactical and technical.

Playing FE game for the first time on hard mode. I hope you're not a perfectionist who want to keep every character alive through the whole campaign.

i thought that is the most basic in tactical game? so hard to grime one character level. i do have to admit that i restart alot of mission for the first few chapter just because of mistake that make my character die.

is hard to level up those new people that join your group when enemy is so far level than you.

did i tell you they have another game mode call lunatic? harder than hard.

just want to know if one of your story character die you can't revive? not in your team anymore? will change the storyline?

trying my best to keep all the character alive and get those character in my group. eventually some of the character can get you some extra mission/event.

now abit familiar on how to take on those baddies on hard mode. found out that all the critical hit and auto-block from team-mate are really random. At the sametime is hard to earn your gold coin to upgrade your stuff since even you win a mission/event you won't get any loots unless you sell your stuff. Things are not cheap though.

Oh, what kind of save system they are using? Can you manual save anytime in the battle? Or there's designated save point on the map?

trying my luck to order from amazon for the artbook. if I get it I will sell it out. since I got the Japanese version I might keep the book.

you can get the artbook from elsewhere other than gamestop?

I am mostly certain that amazon can get as well. dont ask me why. but I dare to order one since only one game. you mau??

isn't that gamestop exclusive
what's the price first...since it's first party game most probably will get Asi version, if got artbook then its a different story la.

you can get the artbook from elsewhere other than gamestop?

Amazon Japan...... dunno still got stock or not....

y noone open preorder for this ... i think ENG will be out on Feb ... Qishan also didnt list FE: awakening  ...

it's already listed on qisahn for pre-order

can't remember when was the last time I really finished a SRPG game, I think it's Front Mission 4 on PS2, and that was what? 8 years ago? 
just don't have the patient and time anymore nowadays

quite tempted to get this also, will be my first FE game as well if I grab it

anyway... those who got the JP version, and voice over? or just text only?
and how's the 3D?

The bundle looks so sweet. Anyone here getting one?

How does one get it anyway? By Gamespot/Amazon? Or wait until the stores here have the stocks?

Sorry, I'm new to this xD

Gamestop has it for preorders right now!    I'm totally getting the Gamestop physical copy just because of the sweet artbook preorder bonus. Even if it means I have to pay slightly more and wait a bit longer for my copy to arrive haha.

Can you share with us on how you plan to buy from Gamestop?

Afaik, they don't ship goods to Malaysia right?

went to their page last few weeks and found out they dont accept Malaysia c.c. also? that is why betting my luck on amazon.

ship is one thing. they don't even list our country so there is no way we can buy using Malaysia c.c.

amazon? I think amazon dont have the preorder bonus artbook rite? Only gamestop offers it

suddenly feel so inferior..

I belip my one from amazon got artbook. dun ask me why. cos I belip. lol

They don't ship to Malaysia. However you can get help from the Bulk Orders/Service Noticeboard section, there's a number of local folks offering services to help you get items from websites that don't ship to Malaysia.

you only wan the book right.. i aim for your game
dual audio is delicious

Wow, really?? Never thought of that before

I think I'll go take a look.. thanks, thanks!

No problem! I would have preorder it from a local shop (cheaper + faster) if it wasn't for the Gamestop exclusive PO bonus haha

Alamak! I macam cannot find this 'service noticeboard' lah..

Can you point me in the right direction? Tq

Oops my bad, it's right over here.

how about I sell you both? I also no 3ds english. besides I got japan version of the game liao. really surprised they put dual audio. this is very gooding.

i though you really want to collect fire emblem stuff ma since you cant get the ost d.. 

hrmm... tempted to grab the 3DS bundle

ost mau la. book dun think want it la. sell it one set better lo.
small 3ds right? no point la. kalo LL then is different story

ah.. tested the demo.. I wish I can switch to Japanese voice. Not that the English voice over isn't good, it's great.. But.. I like Japanese voices more Otaku..

I wish I have 3DS XL D: x puas playing on small screen~

bro can share how to download the demo? sorry for noob question, just got the consoles yesterday.

1. Turn on your Nintendo 3DS.
2. On the Main Menu, tap the icon for the Nintendo eShop (the orange shopping bag). You'll need a stable Wi-Fi connection in order to access the eShop.
3. Once you've connected to the eShop, scroll to the right until you see the icon for the "Demos" category. Tap on it to enter the Demos menu.
4. When you're in the Demos menu, you should be able to see the Nintendo 3DS game demos that are available to you. Tap on the game that you want to preview. Note that if you select a demo for an M-rated game, you will be required to enter your birth date.
5. Once you've selected your game, you can look at its details (including screenshots and summaries), and any available video clips. To download your demo, tap the "Download Demo" icon. It looks like a 3DS system receiving a Wi-Fi signal.
6. Make sure to take note of the game's ESRB rating. A game that's rated "T" or "M" won't necessarily have mature content in its demo, but it's better to tread cautiously if you'd rather not encounter any potentially offensive material. If you'd still like to proceed, tap "Next" on the bottom screen. Otherwise, you can tap "Back."
7. On the next screen, you'll be informed of how many memory blocks the demo will take up on your SD card, and how many will remain. If you need to manage your data, you can cancel the download. If you're ready to proceed, tap "Download."
8. Depending on the size of the demo, the download might take a little while to complete. When it's done, it'll appear as a gift-wrapped box on your Nintendo 3DS's 9. Main Menu. Tap on the box to unwrap it.
10. Enjoy!

Completed mine as well and I agree, it was very fun. I'm used to.. well poor voice over when a Japanese games are localized and as far as the demo goes, the voice over was done nicely. I can't say that I like Virion voice, but he only speaks like two, or three lines so I'll wait and see(hear).

Can't wait for 4th of February~

well it seems I spoke too soon without researching it first. 

Dual Audio

is this made by the guys that made Valkyria chronicles? The artwork seems similar.. plus this is a tactic RPG game

nway.. this game is a lot of fun.. put my preorder straight away after finishing the demo =D

i finished the demo, is Frederick immune or what? each time opponents attack him, it will miss. sorry first time playing.

nah, just luck I guess. I'm new to the franchisee too.. got destroyed when I played Lunatic difficulty.. 

LOL, u are a fan of what game bro? i currently got no game to play, just the console itself. 

I just played the demo too! On Normal difficulty and Casual mode because I wasn't sure what to expect. I'll try the other modes later...

But damn~ I love it. I wanna play the full game now! ^0^

I had the 3D effect on throughout the whole demo. The 3D effect on the cut scenes...wow. But it was a really enjoyable experience. I kinda wished the demo was longer though...

One question... and probably it's too early to ask this but... if I've never played the other Fire Emblem games in the series, would the story leave me all hanging and confused in Fire Emblem: Awakening?

- contains 5 disks
- first 4 contain 92 tracks
- fifth disk contains character voices and other content
- comes in high quality 3-panel digipak, with 24 page booklet w/ illustrations from Yusuke Kozaki
- costs 3980 yen (about $44)
- comes out March. 27th

No exploration, no world map, weak story (?)

Help me out here, I can't decide whether to pre order or not

I loved the demo but I'm not sure whether SRPG would last me very long?

This is what I mean:

Cut Scene -> Battle -> Cut Scene -> Movie -> Cut Scene -> Battle -> repeat

No exploration, no world map, weak story (?)

there's word map, it's go to point to point on the world map like Atelier series. you can also freely go where ever you want.

I don't think Fire Emblem has weak storyline...

There is a world map feature in Awakening, but if you want to do level grinding I think the only way is to purchase at least one of the many DLC maps (I think the one with Marth will be free for a short while). If I'm not mistaken you can get DLCs after the 4th or 5th chapter? The world map allows you to also visit shops and battle with your friends' team and potentially recruit the leader after you defeat them or spending in-game money. Also, the storyline is really great IMO, possible one of the best in the series.

I highly recommend getting this game!

just downloaded digital copy and continue my journey from demo version. Good luck to all who wait for the order..

file size ? 

Just finished my download  !!! YEEHAAWW !
Btw for those who're interested in the digital version u can get the $50 prepaid card ( Digital version ) from Play-Asia for only RM177 as oppose to 2 x $20 which costs RM170. 

Therefore you'll still have $10 for eShop games or future DLC !

Yes bro, i did purchase from them using paypal..$50 cost me RM189.00 using paypal..

Oh damn extra charges using Paypal . At least still cheaper than 2 x $20 !

Plus, dont need to wait till 8th ! 

if use credit card oni rm177? can i have link to the product please? thankss

Seems like its a world wide thing. BestBuy saying 6 Feb and GameStop says 8 Feb. God knows how long we have to wait
Oh no don't tempt me, dannn.. i'm thinking about it too. but then;

3DS PREPAID USD 20 = RM85
The digital download on eShop would set us back to USD 39.99 right?
So that means RM85x2 = Rm170

Hmm.. dunno whether to proceed or not.
