I will probably post more impressions in the appropriate thread, but frankly, Kakusei (FE13) is definitely a solid release: I'm not really far in the game, but the presensation is quite good with well animated CGI movies (fully voiced), neat character design, great OST and interface being crystal clear.
It really has everything a FE fan/TRPG would love to see on a 3DS, packed with a very good graphic engine (nothing as impressive as RER, but definitely close to GC/Wii titles, in term of rendition style, as opposed to flat sprites before). The DLC system is also interesting as you have toncrap of possible free returning characters, and the paid DLC have absolutely no impact on the main game, so you miss absolutely nothing important (plot wise/gameplay wise) if you decide not to spend a penny on them. yet, their purpose are on spot: some grinding maps, others are extra conversations between chars, and a huge pack is made of extremely challenging maps that hardcore players would be interested in.

It also baffles me how in Japan and Europe they won't even include an AC Adapter with the XL. They want people to go out and buy it separately, or are sitting on a high horse knowing everyone's probably already got at least one. At least here in NA they're adding it.

That's because, from what I heard on some forums (nothing official... unless someone can pin point the source), a lot of people had to send their 3DS regular unit back to Amazon due to the screen scratching issue.
Amazon complained about that to Nintendo of America, but the latter firmly stated there is nothing wrong with the 3DS, s So amazon isn't dealing anymore with 3DS stuff.

Well, people didn't expect the top screen to be the one afflicted to scratching issue (IIRC, most early screen protector were solely destined for the touch screen, and the clamshell concept would make you expect the top screen is not subject to scratch issues). Even more so when no one had issue with the DS series.
But really, Nintendo failed big time the design of the 3DS, despite the DS series was alright with this.

It is a recurrent issue with the regular 3DS: the 2 bumps on the top screens are not thick enough, so the frame of the touch screen will touch the top screen if you fold down your 3DS. If you didn't put any screen protector or a microfiber cloth inbetween, the chances your top screen will have scratches due to the bottom screen are extremely high. A lot of people complained about very obvious vertical scratches on both sides of the top screen, matching the location of the touch screen frame. Since it was obviously a design oversight, people claimed warranty coverage on their units, which lead to a massive amount of returned 3DS units to sellers and the likes.
That issue was quite widespread (if you type on google "3DS screen scratching" you will have tons of results).

Cobalt Blue 3DS were released recently (something around march/april 2012), yet screen scratching issue is present (made few test, and the top screen definitely is in contact with the frame), unless it is starting from Midnight Purple batch, which is even more recent.

Spoiler:
Seems to be very story intensive. It wont affect what happens in the game but it's still pretty connected to the overall plot. So if you like the story than the Alternate DLC series is pretty much a must have. |
