Not necessarily.
Yeah I've been listening to the soundtrack none stop since. Imported it as soon as I was done with the demo and I've never done that before! Game looks great! Anyone else enjoying the music in this game?

Considering some of the comments you've made about this game, and perma-death and whatnot, you would probably hate Shadow Dragon.
You know, I have no idea what gif you're talking about. I don't think I've ever seen it before.
The music is awesome, yeah.
By the time Donnel reaches lvl 15. he already has decent defense so he can tank stuff.
o.o
All the songs? I fear for DAT chapter and the potential feels you get.
A search got me This I'm from the UK tho so I don't know the validity of it.
Yeah lol multiple times! But I'm an emotional guy so if any of the songs have any connotations in the story I'll feel don't worry!

I love those sparkly things on the ground. Really useful, especially on Lunatic! I also love that they seem to be random. Once in the demo, I got a few great tomes for myself. Pretty cool. So many ways to play a map for me.

Probably not.
It kinda looks ugly, has some annoying sidequests requirements, lacks supports and basic characterization for most of the characters and is pretty bland among another things.
Though, New Mystery does fix some of that.
I've been listening to it everyday since I got it lol. It's so good.

Shadow Dragon is very basic. It's a remake of the original FE, but they just didn't add enough to it in spite of modernizing some mechanics. It has decent map designs and all core mechanics of the series are there, but you won't have, say, support conversations, base conversations or anything to build up the character of party members after they've joined your army.
Basically the only character who always appear in story scenes is Marth and one or two npcs, with everyone else disappearing from the story after they join your army (besides the epilogues), aside from Caeda getting a bunch of events where she talks to enemies to make them join Marth's army. The remake also added some issues of its own, like having to lose members of your army to get to secret chapters and everyone being able to freely reclass before any chapters without any consequence.
Anyway, basically, if you can enjoy FE's core gameplay by itself, you likely will enjoy Shadow Dragon. If the characterization of your army is a necessary part of the game to you or you really enjoy some extra features of later games (like skills or a free map), you probably won't like it.
Yup, the good thing is I've kept the track-listing in Japanese so I don't even know which song is which! lol I just play it from the beginning to end and each time its soo amazing!
As others have said, probably not. Shadow Dragon is by far the weakest Fire Emblem that's released overseas. I didn't even bother to finish it myself.
Yep, I can't stop listening to it myself. The soundtrack is sooooo good.

Uhg, unfortunately I can't pick this up until the 27th (No moneys).
If I were to buy it now, I'd have to overdraft and incur a $9 fee. I'm rather tempted, since my preferable online store (Best prices) generally sells out fast...like Luigi's Mansion 2 / Devil Survivor.

Most definitely. The music is really phenomenal stuff.
And the transitions from map to battle music, oh man, spectacular.
Wait it out mang.
All the PAL newbies plus the old regulars will still be here :3

From a game with so much life and personality to a game so drab with no life and a personality of a brick: I don't think anyone would appreciate that kind of experience.
dammit we're going back to Community.
It's also crazy that the soundtrack is like 94 songs. And its no fluff, each one is fully fledged and full of awesome!
I keep talking about the soundtrack, hope I'm not detracting the thread, I cant play the game yet because I'm nervous about my exams so I'm chilling to the music for now!

So, I have an idea for a comic, but can't draw (sucks, I know).
Spoilers, just in case:
Spoilers, just in case:
First panel has Nowi playing in a field of flowers.
Second panel zooms out a little, showing Pedobear in the shadows, watching her with a gleam in his eye.
Final panel zooms out even more, showing Chrom hiding in the bushes watching Pedobear, a gleam in his eye and cutlery in his hands.

aww you forgot already?
First OT got sent to Community shortly after you posted. Same thing happened with Etrian Odyssey IV.

Oh damn you're right, hahahahaha.
The difference here is I can probably cheat the shit I don't like out of it, heh. So I wouldn't mind some aspects if I can edit my savefile to have a shitton of gold or something right off.

It doesn't worth 'genuine' gameplay sessions, but if you can cheat it... hmmm, go for it I guess.
Out of all the Fire Emblems I have played, Shadow Dragon is perhaps the only one that I have no problem qualifying as soulless. The feeling of 'flat' was really strong with it, from the story, characters, music, graphics--all the usual stuff that are typically designed to make a player immersed.
It seems like in the FE universe all shop keepers have the same face too. Unless it is just one person with fearsome teleporting abilities.
Be sure to read the various character opinions for each option lol.
Hahaha, that fridge logic.
S Rank is marriage and you can't get divorced =P
None at all, other than a character can only achieve one S support per playthrough. After that, the rest of the S supports are locked.
Other than that, support away!

Once you view an S between A and B, A can no longer view S supports from C D E F G.
If you are interested in collecting supports for later view, there's a trick that you can use to save S-support to the support viewer but you can still view all the S-support a character has.

Shadow Dragon is pretty flat cause it was a straight port of the first NES game, especially story-wise. There were some gameplay changes to make it more modern, but they didn't really add onto the story.
You know all the shop keeps are Anna in disguise.
Laughing Banana

I realized that. It's unfortunate that aside from graphics, which contributed pretty big on why I felt Shadow Dragon DS was soulless--and thus an 'upgrade' it is not IMO, they didn't add anything else.
Thank goodness FE:A returned on using drawn portraits instead of that abominable 3D characters.
A milf character.
