Anacybele Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 (edited) Woohoo! The Special Edition doesn't appear to be available to preorder just yet, but yay, we're getting it at the same time as Europe instead of later! :D I'll edit this post with any preorder links I find in the future! Sorry to those who were hoping for that dragonstone from the Japanese one tho... Edited August 28, 2017 by Anacybele Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChibiToastExplosion Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 This is definitely awesome news - I'm a sucker for cards way more than a dragonstone. I'm guessing no word on a 3DS SE, which sucks even if it makes sense. On one hand I should feel worried that we only see Marth on that poster, but on the other hand, 25 cards sounds pretty nice if it's 1/character. Thank you for sharing this!

maybe Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 so did they just forget about the 3ds version or what Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anacybele Posted August 28, 2017 Author Share Posted August 28, 2017 Yeah, Marth being on that poster by his lonesome for SD is kind of a bummer. But 25 character art cards means at least 25 playable characters, I'm pretty sure, so he'll have some company in-game at least, I would say!

KaSlider Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 That poster was probably edited to not show unnanounced characters. They don't want to repeat what happened with Lissa and Robin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, no Tiki at this point would definitely be interesting, lol. Just weird to me to have a poster that's only accurate to this exact point in the promotional cycle... they couldn't advertise it otherwise, but why leave out most of the cast? A poster with the full cast would be pretty boss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tolvir Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 Hoping 25 cards doesnt mean only 25 characters on the roster. For them constantly calling it "massive" its kind of underwhelming. That means there is only 8 slots left to fill, and we still have SD to go. My guess is 6 SD characters, and then Ike and Roy for the final 2 slots if this is the final roster size. Still a bit dissapointing though, especially considering Fates got only the royal characters and that was it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricaofRenais Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 Now all I need to do is get this and a Switch, I may break down and buy a Switch at Walmart since they are the only store to have them in stock when I look. I will preorder the SE in person from GameStop since that has been the best way for me to get SEs in the past. I really hope Minerva and Kaze are in the game.

redtutel Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 I wonder if they'll be more than 25 characters. If there is 25, they're still keeping their promise of having more characters than any other first entry of a Dynasty Warriors crossover spin-off (although the Hyrule Warriors DLC, updates, and 3DS version did supas it at 29, but I'm sure this game will get DLC, both paid and free in the future) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDtheBA Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 I think the cards are only for heroes and not villians. Though we really should have had a villian reveal already. At least a couple Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They shoot themselves in the foot time and again. I have faith in their game... but man, they create expectation in the wrong direction. Just like what they promised when FE:If was announced way back when. It doesn't matter what it actually is. But what it appears as and how the fandom will take it. And right now, they're making it look like Marth is the only Shadow Dragon character. They did what FFXIV 1.0 never did: Hang their defenders out to dry.

ChibiToastExplosion Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 Yeah, can't say it's been handled very well. Our fanbase is impossible to please, but at this point you have to think they are trying to piss people off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More that it's not the version they want you to get. it was a sarcastic comment i do not actually think a video game company actually forgot about a video game they were making i just think it's kinda ridiculous that the game comes out in less than two months (or 1 if you're in japan) and we've still seen literally none of that version and now they've announced a special edition and release date for the switch version without any mention of that one at this point I wouldn't be surprised if it just got cancelled or something really think they should do something to remind us that that version does exist Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm incredibly glad I'm not the only one. Money isn't the issue, but MH stories and EO5 were my games of the year, so FE Warriors has some very, very stiff competition. It's only a good problem to have! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's time to let that and accept that they won't be here. As for the poster, didn't it say it was duel sided? Could the others not just be on the other side? Okay, on a second look, yeah it was probably just edited. Edited August 28, 2017 by Arthur97 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We allowed you to hope and argue for Lucina, and while they aren't in the featured game pool they are certainly as possible as her, and also in Smash. I'm not saying it's likely. But I'm allowed to hope. We are allowed to hope damnit, you, you, negative nancy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At this point, Ike and Roy are looking borderline impossible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
