So this bad boy is in my hands right now thanks to those lads at Shopto. About to embark on Birthright on Hard/Classic mode. Bit excited given I thought Awakening is the best game on the 3DS
I'm not quite ready for it as I want to finish Luigi's Mansion 2 and Asura's Wrath first, but I'll hopefully be diving in over the bank holiday weekend. I'm a bit worried I'll find Conquest too hard (or whichever the more difficult one is), and would've preferred a single standalone game if I'd been consulted by Intelligent Systems (the whole package is daunting), but they're minor grumbles. If it grabs me as completely as Awakening it'll be GotY for sure.
Ninty Store have dispatched my LE, but I've just started a new play through of Dragon Quest IX, so I don't reckon i'll be getting to it for a good while.
When this arrives it will go on the shelf along with the FE console. Need to finish UC4 first and then Valkyria Chronicles will take up most of my time.
Same as everyone, I will put my copy of birthright on the shelf till I finish other stuff. bravely second, pokemon heart gold and diamond, dark souls 3 ETC SHIT THERES LOADS
Standard difficulty for me then. With end of chapter respawns. If I'm gonna sink 140hrs into three games I don't want to hit a brick wall like I did with the first GBA game.
Reg difficulty...there's a bit of a weird spike in Chapter 5, I'm back on Hard mode and you can change mid way through. It's been ok since C5. But here's the thing, and its a bit of a spoiler but something I wish I'd of known and would have stopped me resetting:
Spoiler:
Before you choose your path (Birthright/Conquest/Revelations) any character that 'dies' even in classic mode will come back after Chapter 5
The original GBA game on Hard, and trying to get all the characters, treasure etc. is just the best. Missing out on all the 3DS games, but I'm not sure anything would beat that anyway.
Cheers for the headsup.
It let me add to basket, but then when I went to checkout it said out of stock?
Now it won't let me add to basket.... so possibly they sold out straight away again?
Stock checker claiming some stock in story at Solihull or Cov, but I'm not convinced enough to drive out
I think there's 3 versions/campaigns though, isn't it?
Birthright and Conquest, then after those is Revelations. So if you want all 3 it'd be base game plus 2 lots of DLC.
