Anyone else have it yet? I haven't had time to get farther than mission 7 in the main story, but so far it's excellent. Not quite used to the new unit interactions yet (lost a blocker due to a teammate "helping"  ), but it adds a whole new depth to an already deep game. It might become my new favorite game in the series...

I've been looking into it. Looks good so far. Question for you. Can you do classic mode off the bat (permadeath)?

I've never been much of a Fire Emblem fan though, never got into it.

However I am a fan of shiny and sparkly things like the Fire Emblem 3DS...blue is one of my favorite colors, I actually might keep one of these.

The 3DS does look sweet, and if you keep that you might as well give the game a try; one of my friends who never got into FE before recently got the game and is enjoying it so far.

I don't have it yet, but yes you can.

Indeed.

I must say having finally beaten this game it is my new favorite FE game and overall DS/3DS game. The character/support system was the best part of the game, and having your own character is something I will look forward to in upcoming FE games (though I don't know how they will top this one).

Anyone with a 3DS should play this game!

Now is this the best FE game in relation to the American Fire Emblems games? or is this also including the Japanese 1-5?

As much as I love Gaiden, 1-3 really can't even be considered in the running for best game of the series. 4 is pretty popular, but the maps are just so big, it's weird and so very different from the other games, and 5 is just plain insanity.

So yeah, 4-5 could be considered for best, but I'm guessing he just meant 'murrca. Personally, 10 (Radiant Dawn) is my favorite. Haven't played 1, 3, 5, 12, or 13 yet though. I've heard really good things about Awakening though, and that is from Fire Emblem fanatics.

About 50 copies sitting next to me. I've never been much of a Fire Emblem fan though, never got into it.

Which I now am in posession of . This game is amazing though I must admit.... my OC is.... overpowered. Does anyone else find the second seal OP?

I haven't played any of the games not released in the US, so I'm only drawing my conclusions from having played all the US ones.

The Second Seal is awesome! The game's difficulty makes it not as OP and it's needed to get all the best skills for your characters. The Rally Spectrum skill is borderline broken but I love it.

My guy went tactitian (up to lvl 20) over to Dark mage (almost lvl 18) paired with his great knight wife (sully) he has absurd defense AND magic. So far I haven't hit anyone who can really stop them.

Also the "bonus" characters such as erika and marth. Can they support anyone? Support seems to be a powerful tool and it seems they lose alot by lacking it.

FE5... you beat it once.... never play it again... that game....
