To all the people marvelling at how awesome the trailer looks: don't get too excited. Fire Emblem is, and always has been, a top-down turn-based strategy game, and even the most recent Wii game had maybe 15 minutes of cutscenes (out of 50 hours of gameplay). In short, the cinematics are impressive but account for a very small portion of each game, and if you didn't like fire Emblem before then I don't think this game will change your mind just because of the flashy trailer.
I remember when I first played MM, I only realized I could slow down time about midway through the game. It felt like the most awesome "cheat" ever. I wish more games had implicit benefits that reward the player for exploration and discovery.
