It's one of the things that made me sort of not pursue any supports. One of the friends I was playing it with has played the game I think 4 times now? He was pointing out the characters that will marry.

One of the things I do still really love about the series is getting the little bios on what everyone did after the war. But given the sheer size of the game and number of characters, there were a couple I had to look up, and realised we never used them once. It was usually to strip their weapons and use them on someone better.

What Amiibos do you have? I only bought one, for Shovel Knight, but I think my partner has a Twilight Princess one. I know a few people that collect them, which is sort of crazy to me. One has two of every figurine, one that always stays in box, and the other is taken out for display/actual use

I have a lot of questions after the trailer. I love the idea of the world, a small continent with 3 rival countries and one large neutral zone. I'm not sure how they're going to set up the three houses, I wasn't sure from the video if you can only pick one house and then you'd have to play the game twice more for a complete?

Also, I really like the idea of making an army from the ground up, assuming that you being the teacher/tactician means you can assign classes in a sense. I can finally make an army that is nothing but thieves

What were your thoughts?

I wasn’t saying that they’re the same, but the graphical style of WW did look really weird at first, just like LANS does. I’m reserving judgment until I play and see it for myself is all.

Yeah, it looks a bit... toy-ish? I'm not completely sold on the LA graphics either, but other Zelda games (*cough*WindWaker*cough*) have proved me wrong, so I'm sure I'll warm up to them more. Honestly, though, I know I'll enjoy this remake, and I would look forward to the Oracle games being remade as well (with perhaps some easier connectivity between them). They're so often overlooked in the Zelda series, and seeing them pushed more into the spotlight would be nice.

I really hope the next Tales game is good. The most recent "title" that's been announced is that mobile game, Tales of Crestoria, and that won't interest me unless they pull away from the mobile-centric style of having limited daily energy and micro-transactions.

So...

Which House are you leaning towards?

I'm somewhat drawn to the Black Eagles myself, but I'd like to learn more about the Houses/Kingdoms before making my final choice. It seems a bit... Harry Potter-ish? That doesn't dissuade me at all, but it just looks like quite the departure from the rest of the series. With that said, I'm excited for the amount of customization that appears to be in the game for the characters.

I also pre-ordered it already for my wife, who's leaning towards the Golden Deer House. I'm guessing that we'll switch off (PUN) playing it, but she'll likely finish it first since she has more time to play than I do.

On a different note, I am SUPER PUMPED for Link's Awakening on the Switch.

Also, one of my team members at work has started Tales of Berseria and it's making me want to go back and keep working on the , but I also know I have too many other things I'm juggling at the moment to worry about that... However, I did add it to my goals for this year, so hopefully before 2019 is done I'll have that finished up.

Well, its finally beaten. And there's a weird moment of sadness that comes with beating such an amazing game. Now I have Echoes, Sacred Stones and Three Houses and I'll have beaten all the Western released Fire Emblem games!

I think the only thing that bugged me in the game was that it was a little hard to get S ranks. The ranking system wasn't very good in this one, and I really hated that you could only be with one person and that was it.

That sword is so nice! Now that I've moved, I really need to buy one of those glass display cases. I have a lovely figurine of Celeste from Danganronpa, and Tharja from FE Awakening. Do you have any figurines?

Oh, if you could send me a picture of that, that would be amazing!

Just a short message today, I'm on the endgame of Radiant Dawn and Nephenee has the Wishblade and I am floored. Just floored.

That's a surprise, I would have thought there would be some large scale images since it was the first one we got in the West.

Break Souls sounds quite clever, especially if you were in any sort of battle where you were a little under-leveled, it really could change the tide of things.

I didn't order Fire Emblem in time, but I managed to snag a copy of Conquest that was extremely gently used. Whoever originally bought it played a couple boards and gave up. Which is a shame, because the more Fire Emblem fans the better.

That's awesome! My first handheld was a Gameboy Colour with Pokemon Yellow and when I moved for university, I was only able to bring my DS. I think that's largely why I moved towards handhelds, I could bring them everywhere and it was a long way home from university as well.

Funny enough, when it comes to getting limited edition consoles, no one is more devoted that jdcooper on this site. When we were in a legal school program, the Majora's Mask 3DS came out and he managed to snag one by not paying any attention to lectures and tracking every electronics store and Ebay in our area.

Finally got a quick picture of the Zelda obsession [Link]

I love the current theme!

Also, I googled the risk/reward and all I cold find was "Break Souls". Not sure if that is the correct term, but it's all I could get without risking spoiling the game for myself.

That has me curious. I don't usually do pre-orders, but the last thing I can remember was jdcooper on this site ordered the Fire Emblem Fates collection and I think it was all three games, and a nice bag for the 3DS.

Speaking of things that don't come out on my side of the Atlantic, for Christmas, I was given the Legend of Zelda Gameboy Advance SP version that came with Minish Cap. So nice looking and I never knew it existed until I was checking video game collections on Reddit.

The Figurine part was easy, but boring. Just kept betting one until I finally got the percentage down to 7% and then bet the max just to finish it up. I wish it had been something that would take one or two press of the buttons. I was mostly watching my partner play Destiny 2 and trying to pay attention every so often

So far, our winter has been really strange. No snow or cold weather until now, and I didn't need any winter stuff and now in late January it's finally acting like winter. I do wish we had more snow though, although it would make the walk to work much more aggravating I suppose!

Nearly half of my s can be finished in under 20 hours each, so I'm not too concerned about that.

I did end up deciding to start up BotW again. With that said, I should be able to swap over to Vesperia and Suikoden pretty easily if I get the urge to do so.

Managed to pick up Tales of Vesperia: Definitive Edition!
It’s the worst timing possible with World of light going on much longer than I expected and Wargroove / Kingdom Hearts 3 coming out next week but hey! at least i’m prepared now
