I dont think comparing it to Awakening's opening is exactly fair. Awakening was kind of a rebirth of the franchise and relied on amazing word of mouth to sell. Now with Fates we are all jumping on board early because of Awakening. Fates legs realistically shouldnt be as good unless the franchise is still growing... also where the fuck is the European release -__-

That's really impressive! Nintendo has turned what was a niche franchise for ages into one with mainstream appeal that keeps getting the same praise than ever or even more. Awesome.

I just want the game to come to Europe so I can buy it and play it xD
Congrats to Nintendo and IS, what they have accomplished with Fire Emblem is impressive.

Nice. Might end up buying it one day.

Goes to show how much attention companies should be paying to vocal minorities. The less pervy it is, the more like it is that I'll buy it.

Something is up with Nintendo + fantasy/mideval type quest settings. Obviously they've had Zelda for years, but Xenoblade seemed to over perform in December and these Fire Emblem numbers are insane.

Xenoblade is 100% sci-fi, even more than its predecessor. I'm not sure they're really any more into fantasy now than they've been for a long time now.

There are gay marriages in game, unless they made a change and I didn't know about it.

Hmm, it looks like they acknowledge it and sounds like they remain in the game. That explains why I haven't seen it yet though, since I am playing BR and as a male. The male marriage is in Conquest.

Any Conquest players atm, can you give us a check on on the gay marriage thing? That'd be great if I was wrong about this. As Sakura would say "Oh, thank goodness" xD

You can indeed still marry your main character to Niles in the western version of Conquest, and there are no changes to what you can do with the same sex partner than that which you can do with one of the opposite sex, except child unit of course, though they say the ending mentions that Niles and Corrin end up adopting

It ended being a bit blurry, but you can see Corrin there next to Niles, Azura was asking if they could tell her their love storY

COMG guide to points: 1 point = Raging. 2 points = Beasting. 3 points = Tearing it up. 4 points = Berzerk. 7 points = Rampage. 12 points = Burst. 15 points = god mode. 20+ points = DIVIDING BY ZERO!!! 40+ points = Youkai (originally Pokemon).

-1 = Negabeasting. -5= NegaRampage. -10 = NegaBurst

Great news and sales, seems like the removal of some features didn't affect the sales.

Don't worry. I can read it fine. Thanks for clearing this up, haha. Good to know the gay marriage remains in the game.
