I can assure you, I'm going to be getting that one when it comes over!

oh i kno, thats why your lucky!

For getting the game 2 and a half months later than the US? I don't see it that way somehow.

well look at it from japan. We both waited a year! But yo get the nice bundle, even though NoA has the sexier color lol

I bought the game as soon as it became available on eShop (right at Midnight).
I am playing on Hard Classic
I have completed up to Story 17, Paralogue 4, and Xeno 3
So far I have managed to get by without losing anybody to Permadeath.

The game gets pretty challenging after Story 13. Number 14 in particular probably had my most resets at 3-4 times. Story 16 also gave me two game over / reset. But I think all the rest of the chapters I have gone through without any resets. Game keeps getting gradually harder... it's a rush when I beat any Story level.

I have also done some Streetpass Parley battles and the Spotpass Parley and Bonus Team battles.

I think this is the best Fire Emblem game to date... and for me the best game on 3DS to date.

I think once.  I know for a fact had a couple where it was just HP.  But I think once I did.

Man is that the worst.  Hell even just HP increasing, was kind of like "really, not even worth leveling"

I had a healer who didn't increase any stats once. I was like "after those 10 heals, you can't increase ANYTHING? What's the point in you?"

So very frustrating, especially for weaker units.

Just a quick review check again, the Metascore has changed!

One thing I noticed about the Pocket Gamer review is they complained it was too short, because you can "breeze through the 26 story missions in under 30 hours". So that's not including the random encounters, Paralogues or DLC, and they think it's too short? Since when has 30 hours for the very main story too short?

So here's the SpotPass for this week, it's Fire Emblem this time (as always, no equipment retained after recruiting the character):
