At the onset, “Marth, Prince of Altea,” “Lucina, the Swordsman who claims to be Marth,” and “Pegasus Knight Minerva” will be available as download codes bundled with select packs of cards. It is unlikely the cards will release in the states. Maybe those characters can just be bought individually? All of this complexity does seem like it’s making the 2016 western release ofIfmore challenging.

Also, how was theAwakeningDLC? There seems to have been a lot of it. I was too busyworrying about romanceto bother with it.
