I would be playing my copy if it wasn't raining so bad and tired from work... so how's everyone doing on their side of the game? ^_^;;

I picked mine up but every review I've seen has been preeeeetty mediocre so honestly I'm not in a huge hurry to start. That's not to say I definitely think they're right, might just be a matter of weird expectations, I'm definitely going to play it. I just haven't started yet...

Huh... that is pretty interesting with the way people hyped it up I would of expect partial Persona 5 like praise.

If I'm not mistaken Fire Emblem Gaiden is considered the worst game in the franchise, isn't it?
Nobody I've talked to even really seemed to know Echoes was out, so I guess I can't say I've been seeing too much hype personally. There's definitely a huuuuge difference in hype between waiting nine fucking years for P5 and just a little over a year between Fire Emblems. Maybe the snobbiest and most elitist part of the Fire Emblem community was very excited for it? Although of those that I know personally they won't even look at it because "the franchise is dead to them", so I don't know...

I've found it reasonably cute so far (my life for Faye), but am only an hour or two in, so who knows where things will go. Being able to actually wander around like I'm playing a 3D Zelda feels weird, but not unwelcomely so.
