So if you purchase digital you get both scenarios while physical purchases only get one with a $17 upgrade. But they both cost the same? I have no idea why they would do that.

Cautiously optimistic about this... Hopefully the story and the character interactions won't be as jarringly disconected as they were in Awakening.

this looks rather intersting. lol, and Kazahana (kazehana?, don't remember which it was.) is on the attack on kamui. Lol.
The butler, Joka, reminds me of Theo from Persona 3 PSP. he's... kinda cute... and Felicia is adorable. running into the kitchen, falling and breaking things cause she's too excited. lol. I can't wait to play this game. I understood bits and pieces of it, but not much. |

I think they mean that they're going to give you the option of what version you want at the point where it splits off, and then locks out the one you diddint choose, so you have to buy it later. |

The same sex bonding is quite strong in this one 8D i wonder if you could marry them or something.
Also, i laughed a bit at the ~pokémon amie~ thing, like, you just call one of your companions over to your room and then just start rubbing their face lmao, but I like it tbh. And the accessories feature also caught my attention. Hmm, since the japanese release date is near, it makes sense for those videos explaining features and whatnot to be released, but it would be very nice if there were some news about the occidental copies; like, if they'll have the same DLC-thing-system as the japanese, or even if they'll also be two different versions too, you never know. |

wow, this game is gonna have a lot of features!
before watching video: wait, what? you're... inviting them up for tea and a chat, right?  i mean, what else could two people do alone in a room...?
after watching video:  was not expecting that... reminds me of Pokemon-Amie 
if i remember correctly from past news about this game, when you buy the digital version, you have the potential to choose either route near the beginning but once you do decide on a path you are locked in and have to buy the one you didn't pick if you want to play it too. so it'll cost the same as buying a physical copy + DLC on that note i'm very curious if the Western release of this game will follow the same model... hopefully they'll announce it for the West and tell us something at E3 in a couple weeks! super excited!

I really really hope they change it for the Western release. This pay for part of the game system is complete BS. This is the crap I expect from EA not Nintendo. Even though it would probably mean the death of the franchise I really hope if this is who they are going to do it that the game tanks hard. |

I hope that this "pay-for-part-of-the-game" method won't be implemented for the Western debut of Fire Emblem if as well. The customers are going to be in a rude awakening once they find out that they're buying a seemingly incomplete game.

^Thanks for the answers. I'm not too crazy about the idea honestly.

If Nintendo hasn't decided to keep the pokemon games as one complete game don't assume they're going to keep If as one version featuring all three scenarios because you don't see it as practical to sell three different version of the game as both physical content and optional DLC. Plus I believe anyone with any familiarity of the Fire Emblem ip and this game would be aware of this game being sold in three different editions and DLC since it's been common knowledge for months.
Yeah let the game tank hard so Nintendo can use that as A pretext to keep any more games in the series in Japan. Or worse puts the series in the exact same position it was in up until Awakening saved it. In other words who wins in either scenario? |

The method of how the storylines of Pokémon and Fire Emblem: If are different. Pokémon's storyline is the same in every version (minus the Yellow, Crystal, Emerald, and Platnum versions, in which they have special features that are not present in the others). The only thing that makes the versions differentiate from one another is their Version-exclusive Pokémon that are present in one version and not in the other. With Fire Emblem: If, the same storyline is split apart in three different versions, with differing viewpoints, meaning that I would have to buy the downloadable content of each version just to experience the entire game! I would hardly view this as "optional." |

And does this justify splitting the games into 3 to 4 versions which have been the norm since Generation 1 and something no one seems to mind unlike Fire Emblem If.
Considering you have the option to buy and play either version of the game and experience which each route has to offer........that's sounds pretty optional to me. What Fire Emblem If is doing to my recollection has never been done in a Fire Emblem game before. Some of these games have diverging paths but more or less still have the same storyline with some slight tweaks that eventually merges back together at some point. Whereas this game has diverging paths that branch off into separate storylines that will stay separate. Content that's big enough to justify splitting the game into three distinct but slightly similar games. |

In the case of Pokémon, yes, for the reason that the title was made with the concept of trading with other Trainers. If all the Pokémon were available in every Version, trading would have lost its purpose.
I just don't buy any of this. I can "choose" to buy one of the versions of Fire Emblem: If to experience only half of the game while I have the "option" to buy the other half of the title as DLC to see the full story? I'm sorry to say but, whichever way you slice it, this idea of splitting the title into separate versions and relegating part of it in the rear of the DLC paywall pretty much defeats the concept of choice.
