The opening doesn't mention it, but at least in the Japanese version, you could get an extra accessory (a replica of Awakening's Fire Emblem) if you have an Awakening Streetpass team registered when you start Fates.
They aren't actual Jeigans, although they also fall behind many units that appear later. They start in a promoted class, with promoted base stats thanks to that, but their own personal stats are basically unpromoted level - although they'll stand out initially thanks to being in a promoted class. They gain experience like unpromoted units though, and also can level up to 40, rather than 20.

They aren't worth keeping for endgame. Mostly to tank hits earlier on.
Their base stats are high enough to keep early but really they are support fodder for better units.
Perfect, all I need to know!
Augh, I think I deleted my Awakening Streetpass...

It's...rather obvious who the Jeigan is, you'll see when you play the game.
They're more like Oifeys, yeah like Frederick. Not amazing like a Seth or Titania but they'll get the job done early on and stay relevant (mostly Jakob in this case). Jakob's a great support bot for Corrin because of his evade and Def bonus skill.
I've been wondering how exactly this works. Does the game keep a save state of where you were at in Ch6 and then just sub out your Corrin? If someone dies on, say, Ch5, will they be dead on a second play through when you skip to the choice?

As the BB lady was handing it to me, another worker came over and started panicking about me getting it a day early. I still have to wait till tomorrow, but you may be able to get it.

Cool, been trying to find the answer to this for awhile.
With that, I'll be going Male Conquest(still kind of undecided) > Male Nohr > Female Revelations
posting for new page
For those playing Conquest on Lunatic or even Hard, a tip is that Female Corrin is generally a lot easier in the beginning of the game than if you were to pick Male Corrin.
Male Corrin is the harder route in Conquest because of the different character you get depending on your gender. Jakob is the superior unit. You will get the other maid/butler eventually.
Jakob for Female
Felicia for Male.
The second save that you make that starts right from chapter 6 is clean.

they could always overnight the package, it's not completely unheard of
amazon still hasn't shipped out my game yet, but I guess I have blind faith in them I'll get it tomorrow
unless they ship it via UPS then I'm screwed, cause I'm not going to wait until 8 PM at work for them to get their slow ass in

Seth (from scared stones) is the god of escort characters and he shall have no other gods before him.
The issue is that it's designated for two day instead of overnight...
So it's official they're gone?

I actually just came back from a lunch detour and they wouldn't give it to me haha. Tomorrow it is then!

Don't give up hope, Amazon just charged me and it says my order is 'Shipping Now' and still says it will be delivered tomorrow. There is a warehouse relatively close to my town so I'm pretty confident it will arrive tomorrow. May be the same case for you.

Have Birthright pre-ordered. Been here since Sacred Stones, and I can't wait to play this title. It's not hitting me all at once just yet since I'm playing a lot of Street Fighter V this week, but when it hits, it's gonna feel like candy and heaven.
Also, LOL at Sakura's face. I'm a huge sucker for the timid healer archetype, since Natasha was my favorite character in Sacred Stones, so I'm sure I'll end up S-ranking Sakura.

Ordered Birthright last night but still no shipping info from Amazon. Kind of surprised by that. Must have a backlog of these sending out
Interesting. How do they factor in EXP from the prior 5 chapters? Is there just a general base level up for all available characters?

I hope for you it's not like FF Explorers was. I ordered a week prior to release from Amazon and they ran out of copies, was gonna take a month for them to send me a copy. I canceled and bought it locally at Hastings (they get everything and no one buys games there).

Man, I think it's finally starting hit me that a new game in arguably my favorite series is coming out tomorrow. I have the special edition pre-ordered and I can't wait to play it! I do have a question though, I remember hearing they changed the weapon durability system, can someone tell me how it's changed?
Sigurd's DA best.
Secretly hoping Amazon will smile on me and I'll be one of the lucky ones to get a game early.
Been thinking about this for the past week, watching trailers over and over. I'm super excited for the traditional FE campaign on Nohr's side.
Gonna go Hard Classic (Lunatic if on possible on a fresh cart).

Ugh my SE just shipped and estimated delivery is MONDAY. Weekend plans thrashed. God why can't Gamestop get this right?

oh man Izana's lines are amazing
Like with children characters they give you base stats in line with what your level is supposed to be at that point as well as the stats buff and debuff you choose when making your character.

it's becoming painfully obvious to me that best buy will not have my FE:Fates collectors edition delivered tomorrow.
It still hasn't even shipped yet.
Not sure why every non-Amazon place can't get this right.
I'm honestly terrified of what would happen to the game if IS were to remake it.

square enix store has habitually gotten me things early ever since they moved to a new vendor. So thats actually been fun
Spoilers:
They'd just pull an Awakening, which in itself was already kind of a "what if you could undo the tragic end of FE4's first half?" Scenario. You'd be able to go back in time and save everyone or something. Related note: I don't know why I never connected the entire alternate universe plotline of awakening to FE4 before. It's very similar.
Real answer: It's never getting remade. Whole thing is a little taboo with Kaga out anyway.

Mine is ETA Tuesday
I guess that gives me another weekend to wrap up my Awakening replay.
I mean it's why I love Awakening as there's so many call backs to 4, but yeah I don't think it's getting remade.
Makes sense. Guess the only reason to not skip those chapters is if you either want to get used to a higher difficulty or specifically want to beef up and/or starve a particular unit of EXP during those missions.

I don't think they'd change the story too much. The biggest difference would likely be the addition of an avatar character that probably would be turned to stone or something and then would rejoin in the game's 2nd half without even having aged (allowing the avatar to marry 2nd gen children without it being weird).
I think the biggest problem would actually be the various gameplay systems, like no direct item swapping. The game probably would have to be heavily changed and rebalanced to be closer to a modern FE.

FE4 Spoilers:
honestly, they could maybe put in the mystical part 3 of rescuing all those who didn't die in the first half's battle and were turn to stone
And then insert paraologes letting you re-recruit all the ones that did die!

Sigurd's beeeeeest friend Cliff the Master Knight.
It was fun replaying Awakening after I beat FE4 for this reason. I even reclassed Chrom to paladin so that he could be just like Sigurd! There wasn't an Ares stand in though...

Ughhhhh that would be the worst. I paid almost nothing because of some gift cards so I don't feel like canceling.

I think it still is and theres also another $5 you can save on map pack 1, as well as 20% off the physical game if you have GCU. Looks like this promo will run to Saturday since its in their flyer

The lack of a good Camus in Awakening was it's biggest fault for me.

Still no sign of Best Buy shipping my special edition.
Maybe if they ship it late like they did with the Smash bundle they will give out $10 credit again.

I don't have particularly good thoughts on FE4 outside a couple things but one thing that I truly enjoy from that game that forms a huge piece of lore for the whole series is the Miracle of Darna (even if there's a pretty huge time contradiction made by the game).

What does it mean when, in the OP, it says that children are tied to the Father?
