Update (1/7): Bumped to the top. It’s not listed on the product page, but GameStop indicated on Twitter that this offer applies to the Fire Emblem Fates Special Edition as well.

Original (1/6): GameStop is planning a special pre-order bonus for Fire Emblem Fates. If you reserve the game, you’ll receive three character keychains. This is valid both in-store and online.

I’ve included a shot from GameStop’s ad showing the keychains above. Because the image was rather tiny, I increased the size so it’d be more visible. That naturally made it blurry!
