What's up? I'm new to this forum but I've used SF before, so thanks to the creators and contributors of the site. I've only played the english released FE games but I am really excited for this new installment. Really hoping it will be out ASAP in 2013 for USA since EU is slated to get it early in the year if I understand things correctly.

About me - I'm an adult player and I'm female. I love strategy games and while I love the gameplay mechanics, I also like the support/partner system probably because the "romance" is so underwhelming and not in your face. For most couples. It's almost like Harvest Moon but with twice the addiction power - at least for people with active imaginations.

I like a lot of other types of games too, and the next couple of games I'm looking forward to are RE6 (hit me up for XBL if you want to do the 6 man co-op), AC3 and Pokemon B/W2 being a distance third.

Welcome to Serenes officially! I'm sure you'll enjoy it here.

I hope FE13 is released asap as well but I still have yet to get a 3DS ^^; nice comparison to harvest moon haha, that's a series I enjoy playing from time to time

thanks for the welcome! and yeah, it was what i thought of that most people here might know. i don't know that others would know of any dating sim/otome games if they are japanese, such as Tokimeki Memorial Series, Uta no Prince-sama, Starry Sky, La Corda D'oro, etc.

I also need to purchase a 3DS but truthfully I'm watching for a sweet bundle to come out so I can have a special one. Would have jumped on Zelda if I didn't already have the original Ocarana of Time game. FE13 special bundle was just *beautiful*.

Hey, welcome to SF! If you're looking for a reason to get OoT3D, it comes with Master Quest after you beat the main game once.

nah, just a reason for the now expensive bundle it comes in. i'll probably still wait until fe13 gets announced, but thanks :3

and hello to you also ZM456!

HARVEST MOON: GENEALOGY OF THE HOLY FARM.

Spoiler - FE Seisen Spoilers

This is actually a Harvest Moon game that takes place during the events of "Red Dawn." The main character is killed by Russians halfway through the story, and his son then continues as a farmer some years later and becomes involved in supplying the forces who eventually push the Russians out of America. As we like to joke, "where amateurs discuss strategy, professionals discuss logistics."

I like a lot of other types of games too, and the next couple of games I'm looking forward to are RE6 (hit me up for XBL if you want to do the 6 man co-op)

Jesus Christ on a Jumbo Cactuar, I didn't know they were going that high with co-op, that sounds amazing. Hopefully I will get a current gen console that will play RE6 by the time it comes out.

Heh, I only played RE1 (as Jill), 4, and 5 so I don't know what Claire is like much. Leon is probably my favorite of the characters I've seen aside from HUNK, he's such a goofball.

you speak blasphemous words, sir.

HOW COULD YOU SKIP EVERY GAME WITH CLAIRE IN IT? щ(゜ロ゜щ)

In all seriousness though, she was Leon's original partner, and Chris' little sister. She's pretty awesome. In terms of fav RE girls it has to be Claire>Sheva>>>Jill/Rebecca/Ada>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Ashley

Well, hello new female member and welcome the Serenes Forest Forums! Enjoy your time here!
(I also cannot wait for FE13 btw lol)
Iffy on AC3 though. I really liked the first two. But then the next two got boring and I have now grown to basically hate the series even though I used to love it. Maybe the forest and forts will be a nice change of scenery though. Idk.

i just like the gameplay. probably the only sandbox game i like. it's fun to run up and shank things from the shadows. :D
tbh i really hate the storyline.

Spoiler -

at least when it gets to modern times. i was ok with assassins vs crusaders and it's different incarnates, and to an extent when it goes on about political organizations/illuminati controlling the world, and to a slightly lesser but still somewhat limited, tolerable extent of aliens being precursors/gods to everything we know but that whole flustercluck plus end of the world is nigh with only one gary stu left to save the world who has a culmination of all the special powers/bloodlines of all the important people EVER gets to time travel with his MIND in his special dream machine just to talk with said Gods, well that just gets to be a little hard to believe.

oh and he gets to watch his ancestors conceptions. whut? (・_・ヾ

but it's fun to run around and stab people. yeah! (´∇ﾉ｀*)ノ

Lol Ashley was my favorite once I unlocked KNIGHT ARMOR

I didn't skip them so much as, I was basically introduced to RE by RE4 (which is my favorite of the ones I've played) which my roommate bought for the Wii a few years ago while I was in college. Then I played a friend's copy of RE1 with him and some other friends. Due to RE5's co-op nature I've probably played the single player 4-5 times, each time with a different person, some of them who had played before and some of whom hadn't.

I've played 5 way more than that, even with just the same person. Lots of late nights and herp derp moments with grenades and infinite rocket launchers. I have #4 for PS2 and Wii, and they toned down the difficulty A LOT for the Wii version, it was ridiculous.

And Ashley still manages to die so many disgraceful deaths. =/

A fitting end to a disgraceful life; dawning the armor of a warrior, she was still unable to slay a single beast.
