Oh, bummer... :(

Why wouldn't they? People obviously don't care about having to get two versions of the game. If they're able to get more money out of people, why not. Pokemon will have two versions forever because people will still buy one or both.

Awesome! From what i've heard of it it seems to have deserved it too

Spanish online stores went out of stock months ago, and they haven't got any extra. Not even Amazon.

Australia EBGames had a second shipment for it. And that already sold out, and will release around June.

I thought that it was 3 separate games? Why are we counting them together?

2 seperate games (unless proven otherwise)

It's not 2 games. It's One game sold 2 (or 3) times.

Hoshido/nohr only got half the units/characters/weapons/skills, it's not a full game. And the story of both of these really suck hard, probably the worst story/MC/Bad guy since ever.

The dlc has all characters (and subquests), the "canon" story, all class/item/etc AND the good maps from nohr (+ others) Only the dlc is a complete game .

(ironic isn't it ? And ofc you can't buy it alone, you need to get a "who care" path).

Actually, it would have been better it they would only release this dlc as the new "fire emblem", instead of 2 poor games.

Weren't the pokemon games split to encourage player interaction more? Splitting some pokemon between 2 versions helped drive the purpose of trading and interacting with others.... Or you buy both versions and be your own friend, haha... Then you would even need 2 GBs...

Fates however was an idea one of the devs had in mind for the longest time, and this was a good chance to finally do it. The drive was choice and having players do so with two sides of a big picture. This would have a much bigger emphasis on that decision when you had to buy one of the sides. This was pushed further when the director (someone in the team, I forget exactly) wanted a 3rd side cuz he didn't want to choose either side. You could say splitting the games works similarly with trading games with friends to see what the other side looked like.

Seeing how Fates focuses a lot on this idea, I don't really see them doing that again as it wouldn't really hold that same interest Fates did.

Or I could be wrong and they do it again.

I can see them employing this approach again only as one full game in future instead of separate ones, it probably won't be to the extent of Fates but I can see the whole choice struture being implemented in future games.
