Yeah, that would complicate things. You'd both need to purchase Revelation for your respective systems in order to play it though.
Aside from the fact that the SE has been sold out since the first day it went up, it's out of reach for people who might have gotten on board afterwards. And it doesn't help for folks like Vinc.

The OT doesn't really make it clear. Is it 13,000 block for both campaigns together or each and how many blocks exactly will Revelations be? I'm getting Conquest on cart and downloading Birthright and Revelations, how much space will I need?
I read elsewhere that the Japanese SE cart which had Conquest and Birthright was a little over 2GB, so you should be looking at right around 1.5-2GB for Birthright and Revelations, I'd wager.

Accidentally ordered Conquest thinking it was the easier one.

It's still bizarre that they're still marketing the SE. Are they not aware of the situation? I was 100% sure they wouldn't print more, but this is the 3rd or 4th PR in February I know of that's tried to sell the nonexistent edition.

So my Best Buy Special Edition order says it's ready to pick up. I'm curious to see whether or not it's really ready or just an error.

Mine too! I won't be able to try to pickup until the end of the day so please report back if they let you grab it.
Good luck!

Birthright is easier and less complex so you'll be able to get yourself back into the SRPG mindset if you haven't played on in a while. Also, you might be a little less forgiving towards Birthright's straightforward mission structure after playing Conquest.
If you are getting all of the versions anyways then I really see no reason not to play Birthright first.
Unrelated, but this particular line from the press release ought to have been rephrased to just say that Partner Seals do this. Second Seals from Awakening, including their functionality of resetting a unit's level upon use, do not exist in Fates.
My SE is arriving tomorrow from Amazon in Miami but I'm in Costa Rica and I'll have to wait an extra week for it to get here and pray to the gods the box doesn't get too damagedhold me gaf I want to play this now
We are in the same situation.
Lets hope everything goes fine.

Yet again I told my husband: "I'm done buying games for awhile, I have so many already!" and I truly believed it...until yesterday when I bought Conquest and the Season Pass for The Division. GAF, will you let me move in with you when I'm kicked out?

Okay cool, thanks. 2000 isn't bad at all. Also, do we not know Revelations size from the Japanese version.

well I dunno but mine has shipped and it says tomorrow 8 pm
Amazon has lots of warehouses, usually within 1 day of ground shipping from most people

I'll be Female Birthright, Male Conquest, Female Revelation. I like playing as female if I can choose, but I wanted to be male at least once. Luckily I wanted to marry Camilla anyways for crucial strategy reasons.

Few questions.
Not sure if answered or if its common knowledge of previous Fire Emblems but how many units can you take into the field assuming you have enough characters. I have only played Awakening and can't seem to remember but was it 15?
How is street pass like? My lady and I are planning on getting different version and I would like to know if there is any benefits to street passing several times or would I be able to recruit her Corrin into my game.

Question for those who have played the Japanese release: are same-turn reinforcements back in Hard and above? I heard elsewhere they were gone, but wished to confirm. As someone who only plays on Hard and above this was a big gripe of mine in Awakening (which I otherwise loved, warts and all); trial-and-error scenarios break the difficulty curve like crazy and are not a good fit for this series.

Nope they're gone on all difficulties now.
I didn't actually play the Japanese release just letting you know
They're gone, yeah.

It might frustrate me to no end, but I'll power through it.
I'm in the same boat. Didn't pay for 1 day shipping but should have gotten 2 day shipping for Prime, and mines not getting here until Tuesday (ordered yesterday).

First FE I'm playing since the original FE with Roy. I didn't get too far in The Sacred Stones. Excited as fuck.
Thank god.
That's great to hear. I hated same-turn reinforcements, it made it frustrating when you were trying to level up a weaker character by including them in the battle.
I'm just super stoked to know that IS went through the trouble to address so many of the issues long-time fans of the series had with Awakening's gameplay, even in Hoshido. They really could have just pumped out a sequel to Awakening without listening to that crowd, but they really did a great job looking into and balancing a lot of elements while still retaining basically everything everyone loved about Awakening. That's not even including the fact that Nohr is way more traditional, which is something they really didn't have to do.
I enjoyed Awakening and was prepared for the series to move forward under what that established. To see that they still keep all fans in mind feels really good.

I think you mean Eliwood, lol
I've had this preorder for months. Got mine in right after the direct.
I originally had two day release date shipping thanks to Prime but I had to update my payment method which bumped it back to Monday. Figured $4 was worth it to play over the weekend and I got a Friday estimate again. Now this shit. Absolutely ridiculous.
Great OT, love the character descriptions.
I'm still checking my order, waiting for the change...
I preorder a lot from Best Buy, and this is usually the case. Still makes the wait unbearable. ; ;

Can someone help me decide which one to get? I played FE 6 through PoR. 7 was my first and favorite. Was never the biggest fan of the no-grinding/permadeath but I realize how much it added to the experience and really made the game what it was.
I only played Awakening a little bit and am a much less patient gamer than I was when playing through the earlier FEs. I'm older and games tend not to hold my attention as long. I do tend to read and plan a bit in terms of characters, relationships etc. Which one should I start with? I'm worried that I may not have the interest to play through the second one and may only play one, or one+revelation. Worried about finding hard to go through Birthright with its simplicity after playing conquest first.

You can always play Normal/Casual
or Normal/Phoenix but I'll judge you
original FE features Marth, or if you go by western releases only Lyn/Eliwood/Hector lol
