Still retarded. Shouldn't even be happening in Japan. Let alone an eventual release like that in the NA region.
Edit: Since people are going to go along with this it'd be great if they boycotted Fire Emblem Dia- I mean, Hoshido.
Yeah, but gamers are historically terrible at boycotts.
We need our Fire Emblem fix.

Hell yeah we do. It would just be awesome if consumer reaction reflected a desire to go more in the direction of Nohr, in terms of the apparent variety of mission types, instead of the simplistic Awakening vibe they've illustrated Hoshido as.

It's almost as if Nintendo doesn't want Fire Emblem to carry on after all with the success of Awakening being its saving grace.
I would love to know who thought this was a good idea. I'm not sure how heavy handed Nintendo is when it comes to involving themselves in Fire Emblem so I've been operating under the assumption that someone at Intelligent Systems started this. I don't know why considering Nintendo's history with milking successful franchises. Regardless, this is literally the dumbest thing involving video games this year since I was hyped for this game when it was revealed.
Pretty much. Nobody is going to be satisfied in this situation.
Does somebody else find the irony hilarious that the developer is called Intelligent Systems while making such decisions?
these two in it then im happy.

Well in Japan this really isn't new.
A lot of portable games have been released with two or more versions and a few of those have made it outside of Japan.
-Pokemon games
-Mega Man Battle Network series
-Dragon Quest Monster Series
-Robopon series
-A few Portable Bomberman games were released like this
-Legend of Zelda Oracle of Ages/Oracle of Seasons.
The plus side is this will follow the Zelda games were each version will have a it's own unique story and missions and not the Pokemon/Battle Network games were they are both the same games just with a few exclusive items/monsters.
Some North American games were released like this as well
-Transformers Autobots/Decepticons on the DS (though yes movie licensed game so they are made for quick cash)

I know it's not new. Concerning this particular franchise, with this set of games, it just comes off stupid. Especially considering the initial roll out by Iwata from the first direct. How can you tout a choice-driven story experience then split the choices up into two separate products. That's greedy as hell to me. If they were upfront about it from the beginning I wouldn't have minded as much.
The worst part is both versions actually seem like gutted experiences because of certain restrictions placed on one product over the other.

Amiibo support confirmed
Japanese age rating is 15+ which is higher then Awakenings.
But again still no news if this will be a single release or a dual release outside Japan.
So, are they going to show some glorious carnage blood in the cutscenes instead of sparks? Maybe play up on some incest, major character death or dead children (*cough* FE4 *cough*)?

I was gonna say something about Fire Emblem going the Type-0 route but then I checked the ESRB and Type-0 is rated M. I don't know if Intelligent Systems will ever take it that far. It would be nice though. Not just for the "mature" violence but they could really delve into some heavy issues with the story and supports. That's why SMT IV is rated M, I think. More for the issues it decides to tackle and the general vibe of the world than just the obvious blood and guts, and strong language.

How would DLC even work with this? (Because you know there'll be DLC.) Would there be two versions of DLC maps?
I DON'T LIKE WHERE THIS IS GOING, NINTENDO
The DLC is a third neutral path. It's already been announced because money.
Ah. I admit I haven't been paying much attention ever since I heard it would only be released here in 2016.
Still, that's terrible.

If you want a tactical RPG with a darker story, hunt this down if you can:
It's not connected to the first, so you don't need to have played that. It's also more than twice as long as the first if I remember right.
The combat system's a tad different - there's no "enemy turn", they move when you do. Makes you think much more before moving to attack something, as your target might not be there.
Lots of skill customisation, weapon choices and - get this - there are multiple endings that depend on choices you've made, and they're mostly vastly different. (I've only seen two.)
Very interesting. I'll look up some gameplay on it. I definitely want to start buying PlayStation games once I get a memory card, as long as I can find them at affordable prices. I'm still salty about Persona 2: Eternal Punishement costing $200 on Amazon.

As for this whole pokemonification of Fire Emblem... yeah, not impressed. Hopefully they'll have some sort of bundle with the both of them at a slightly reduced price. (Or greatly reduced, I'll take that too.)

Ah Vandal Hearts, I really enjoyed the first one. The second one I finally found though it was hard to find but I never actually beat it. It's a pretty cool series IMO.

To all the people that whined about Nintendo not doing DLC in the past:
I hope you are happy.

Have you played Flames of Judgement? I played the demo a few years back and... I just couldn't get into it. The characters, the art style... ick. The only way I could tell it was a Vandal Hearts game was the presence of those ridiculous blood geysers. Huge step back from 2. I've always been curious if it got better after those first few battles, because that just wasn't my thing.
But yeah, Fire Emblem thread. I keep forgetting I have Blazing Sword, I still haven't finished that. I was at chapter 22 or something.
Hello my peeps- what's the latest and greatest news that occured while I was away?
To all the people that whined about Nintendo not doing DLC in the past:

Estatic.
Maybe they'll even do a grind DLC that you can do if you're on the Dark Side route.
A sit down discussion talking about the pros and cons of the how the game is set up (2 seperate games and the third DLC).
Mostly talking about how the game is being released in Japan as we still do not know how the game will be released in the rest of the world.
Has some good break downs on content and price.
Many people in the comments feel that we will get one Cartridge release with the third DLC being available for purchase on the E-shop, but again nothing has been confirmed.
New news.

This actually alleviates some though not all of my worries.
I still don't like the seperate sold stories practice.
Unless they confirm it won't happen in the west I probably wont bother with this game.
