You mean play as Marth? As for the NA release date, Wikipedia says it's going to be February 16, 2009. Not too far off, but still a long wait.

If you want it now and have a DS emulator (I recommend No$GBA), then here's a ROM file of the game. I have it and it works 99%.

Well, I said I'd give you an update so here it is.

In this game you get tons of units. They pretty much throw them at you. It also seem to be grim for the perfectionists(like myself) who like to get all the characters. It's like they encourage loss. Right in the beginninjg they force you to sacrafice a charater. They also made gaiden chapters that you only get if you have less them 15 characters left, meaning you let alot die. One thing that bothers me is how marth is the only one that can visit villages. And as you know they let you change the class of your characters freely at your base. Although pure bred characters work out better, unless you convert from a low level. I can't say i've used it much, except for the paladin they give you at the begining, which I converted to a wyvern lord. I suppose if you lose alot of units and need another healer you would need to convert.

Now for wifi play. When playing random people you get no handicap, the stage is random, and it does not seek oponents of a similar level. The few times I played I got schooled by higher level characters. It would be best to beat the game first before atempting wifi random. With friends you can put handicap on so that your characters are all equal. Once you win a battle you get a card which you can apply to your teams for a boost. For example one card gives your magic users plus 10% accuracy. Teams are made up of 5 and take place on real maps. it's limited to at most 10 turns and if the one who has the base by then wins.

For gameplay, it can be played with the stylus and the buttons. I personally prefer the buttons. You can skip the enemy phase all together and although you may miss something important. I comes in handy when you know what will happen. Also the balance of levels and recruits isn't always good. I got a sage that was weaker than my level 3 mage.

Well, I hope this helps you guys get an understanding, or clears up some questions. Note that i'm playing the Euro version on my ds so it is pretty much the US version. If you have any questions just ask away.

I should have looked for this club sooner...
I'd like to join as a soldier.

As for a little verification, FE:DS is coming out Feb. 16, 2009.

Holy crap,shadow dragon comes out in 6 days? Man I totally forgot about that one even existing because I haven't heard anything about it since it's introduction.

Oh and Radiant Dawn is the best game on the wii,hands down.Ive probably played through it about 6 or 7 times.Harr rapes everything in that one,I had all his skills capped.

Before I respond I ask to join. Now that that's done, are you serious? It's that close to launch? Pity I won't be able to get it.

I wouldn't say that. And I never did get Harr, which I probably should regret. He's a wyvern rider, right?

And yeah, I'd like to join.

Wow, really? I'm like that too, I won't let anyone die. You know? Looks like a dark story then, lots of people dying... instead of the oh-so happy other games where i let everyone live :)

I'm not sure I like being able to change into anything you want. If I do get the game, I'll most likely keep them "pure bred".

Thank you mr. Ramun.

I really should start posting here.

Well, I've started playing FE... forgot the number. It was the one with eliwood, lyn, hector, you know the one right?

I'm currently on the side quest, 16x, with all the pirates and goodies. Just... posting. Good crew like this needs some bumps.

Oh yeah sure,I just kinda guessed I could instantly be a member because I consider myself such a big fan of the series.I walked a mile to get my copy of radiant dawn,had to call every store in the city to find one that had it.

Now that that's done, are you serious? It's that close to launch? Pity I won't be able to get it.

Yeah I was surprised too,but the UK has had the game for almost two months!

And I never did get Harr, which I probably should regret. He's a wyvern rider, right?

Yeah he's a wyvern rider.You should see his final class,he's completely covered in armor,and his helmet looks badass.And he does his stun attack almost every other turn.

COOL!!a fire emblem crew!if i can be a wizard,im so in!

Really? My local Wal-Mart had plenty of copies.

Yeah, it's one of the few times I'm jealous of the Brits.

Wow. I missed recruiting Harr because I never new you could recruit people until a few weeks after.

Well I tried to get it on launch day,but no stores had it,wal mart said it would have it the next day,so that's when I got it.

Yeah,I remember my first play through of path of radiance,I killed zihark,jill,and ilyana,and I missed stefan and the pink haired pegasus knight.Oh and boyd got killed early on as well.

Oh I forgot I'm supposed to pick a class or something.

Let's see.....I want to be a dragon,yep,I'm a dragon now,cool.

And Marshall FTW.

How did you not know you could recruit people?

Because I had never previously played a Fire Emblem game...?

Did you skip the instructions? Not read the box? Know nothing about the game at all previously?

That's absurd.

Manual or tutorial? Either way, yes.

Pffft.

Not much, no.

That's absurd.

Boo-fucking-hoo.

No one responded to my post D:

So, I'm playing the FE with Lyn, Eliwood, Hector, etc.

I'm on chapter 20, and I'm just wondering. Needing some help.

First off, last chapter, at 19, I stole the member card. I remember a friend showing me some store or something with stuff at half price but I'm not sure exactly where to access this "store".

Now at chapter 20, I remember a peg knight comes? I believe she was related to Florina and Fiora. But she never came... is there any way to make her just appear? Any other tips on this chapter would be greatly appreciated.

Help pl0x, thanks.

If they had a red circle under them I would kill them,it wasn't until later on that I realized that if an enemy had different colored clothes then the other troops then you could probably recruit him.

Oh and you know that level in path of radiance where you recruit ilyana?I had oscar and boyd in their second class already.Shit was so cash.

My brother had it on Gamecube. Dunno what happened to it though...

Alright. I ask for simple help but I have no replies. I have known some of you from the VG forums before and already recognize your stupidity. Didn't know you could recruit people? That's fucking rediculous I mean come on! I had my first FE game when I was 8 and if you just read some instructions it makes it very clear that you can recruit people.

I see the intelligient are few here, this is not a reliable source for any FE help. I'll just go to game faqs or something. Such a shame, though. Great game, terrible thread.

I love Fire Emblem. I have every game out in the US. I absolutely love it. Shadow Dragon is coming out today for the US and I am so getting it, in a few hours.

So, just because some of us didn't read the manual, that makes us complete retards? I've never found that reading the manual made the game any more enjoyable, and was just a waste of time. Fuck off.

No, but not following the tuts and making yourself completely oblivious to the rules does.

I see your point. But, just because I didn't know about one (relatively obscure) aspect of gameplay doesn't make me "completely oblivious". And what I mean by obscure is by that it's only used what- every five levels at the most? Not even that.

It's debatable.

So, who's getting Shadow Dragon?

sorry bro,I haven't played SS before.

don't call us stupid,you're the one who can't find the fucking shop.

Fuck. I went to Gamestop and they said they wouldn't be getting the shipment until tomorrow.

I'll leave it at that.

Once I get enough money after I buy Star Ocean IV.

Which won't be for a long while.
