Summer!

First of all, YAY.

Second of all, link?

Third of all, I don't know why I'm so excited really. I have played maybe one game with any of the characters in? But my 3DS is crying out for a good RPG (Crimson Shroud, what are you doing out of the cupboard?), and the battle system seems to have plenty of enjoyable pyrotechnics. I do wonder how well it'll cater to the non-fanboy, though.

Though I'm delighted that 3DS is getting another European third-party release, I don't think this is my sort of thing.

Never expected this. Even if they didn't announce any more 3DS games this year, I'd be more than satisfied.

STUUUUUUUUUU!

I daren't touch colours after the last disaster.

Strategy/Tactical RPGs and I are not great friends, so this will stay on the shop shelves for me.

oh hell yeah! love me some strategy/tile based rpg's, seems signing that petition a few months ago has helped a little.

New demo up, anyone else played. Seems better then the 1st demo.

Eh the game is out in 3 days, well here anyway yup..

Played the second demo and I'm actually less impressed- the battle sequences imply nuance (by comparison to, say, FE or AW) but I'm not seeing it- beyond the timing aspect of bringing in extra fighters on the shoulder buttons for Cross bonuses, it just seems to be one attack split into three or four for the sake of splitting it into three or four. Am I missing something?

I kinda got that in the fact that they all seemed to attack at the same time and then I lose what the hell is going on until the battle ends its kind of a mess

So this flew straight in to #18 in the all formats chart- anyone see that coming?

It's not that bad, I'm liking it so far

You gave it a fairly warm "Not an FPS" write-up, Beemoh: have you given it a good go? If so, is it recommended (given that I don't know/like many of the characters)?

I've played only four of the Not An FPS games, none of them from this run- they're not reviews, I'm only saying the games exist. The demos were ok, though.

Got mine, not played yet.

That's probably due to the £20 price tag, I still want to get this but there is other games I want more on the horizon.

Started playing this last Monday. The spritework is gorgeous.

After completely failing to pick up the original, the sequel features Wright, Fiora, and the Fire Emblem bods. They have my attention: what can they do with it?
