popo_liciousYahoo! Today's my birthday! Unfortunately, I'm packing to go back for (graduate) school so it's kind of a bummer. It's always been like this though. I'm either a) packing for school b) getting dropped off at school or c) waking up to my first day back. I get homesick easily. XD I like my friends down there, but after five years, it still doesn't really feel like home.
Anyways, I downloaded the FE13 demo today and I am so pumped for this game now! I've already been quite excited about it, but seeing the game and getting a feel for it on the 3DS has really solidified to me that this is going to be fantastic. The visuals are amazing, the sound is great, the characters are already proving to be very promising, and overall, I'm just so happy that Nintendo/IS is getting back to making good Fire Emblems again. :D It's making me excited in the same way that I was excited for FE7, and I haven't felt like that about a Fire Emblem game since... FE7. XD
I'm really curious to see how Nintendo tackles the DLC. I get this inkling that none of the non-western-release characters are going to get brought over. It's just a hunch, but I'm not sure how many people other than die-hards are going to want to purchase, say, Alm. To that extent, we might not get Roy. D: (And I'm still butthurt that there was no Eliwood DLC.) As for the special DLC episodes, I'm not sure about some of them. There's one where I think everyone is wearing a kimono, which sort of kills the fact that Fire Emblem has a uniquely western feel to it despite it's roots. Also, beach episodes. Get them away from me. :I

I have plenty of thoughts about FE13, especially in terms of what it borrows from other JRPGs outside the series, but that will have to wait until it turns up here in a couple of weeks.
After that, party time.
