A number of you have sent in a message reporting to be from a customer service representative at Nintendo of America stating that the petting mini game in Fire Emblem Fates is still up for discussion and that the team haven’t decided whether to remove it. This goes against what online publication Kotaku said earlier this week. The interesting thing is the message seems to originate from GameFAQS. So take that as you will.
