Shadow Dragon was my first ever Fire Emblem, made me totally fall in love with the series. I'll definitely pick this up when it comes out in europe.
I'm going to stick with classic mode. Half the point of Fire Emblem is that you truly value you're characters. The sense of reward you get when you FINALLY beat a chapter without losing a character after a dozen or so resets is one of the greatest feelings in gaming.
I remember the long, hard slog to reach the final chapter. The only char I lost without resetting was Darros (Berserker. Invaluable.), who I lost in the second last chapter. So I revived him with the Aum staff in the final chapter, which had the added bonus of giving me a whole extra character for that mission. Happy days.
It's good to know that there is now a mode so that newcomers won't be put off, but I won't use it. I'm overjoyed that character revivals aren't being forced on us.
I'm really looking forward to finding out what happened to Marth, Shiida and the gang.
