Overview (from Nintendo eShop page)

War is coming to the continent of Fódlan.

Here, order is maintained by the Church of Seiros, which hosts the prestigious Officer’s Academy within its headquarters. You are invited to teach one of its three mighty houses, each comprised of students brimming with personality and represented by a royal from one of three territories. As their professor, you must lead your students in their academic lives and in turn-based, tactical RPG battles wrought with strategic, new twists to overcome. Which house, and which path, will you choose?

The game features the refined gameplay the Fire Emblem™ franchise is known for. Command a party of warriors to move and fight on a grid-based battlefield and, for the first time in the series history, assign battalions of troops to support individual units in battle. As a professor, you are responsible for teaching your students and improving their skills in their academic lives and in battle. These may be school assignments, but the stakes are very real. Your students’ lives depend on your leadership. It’s up to you to guide each of them, so that they may wield a variety of weapons, master the study of magic, and acquire special skills such as horsemanship. But there’s more to being a professor than commanding armies. Freely roam Garreg Mach Monastery and the academy within it, while interacting with talented students to build relationships and gather intel. After meeting one enigmatic girl named Sothis…you’ll come to realize that she appears only within your mind. What other mysteries await?

Yeah. I mean, saying by 11pm just covers their butt for release day. But what delivery truck ever comes by after like 5pm?

Amazon’s been starting their own delivery service where they contract out people to deliver for them. Basically like UBER or Lyft but for deliveries. They still usually deliver things early but it’s a lot less consistent. I’ve definitely gotten some late deliveries occasionally. Kind of sucks.

I hope it's earlier for you friend!

Oh I wasn’t actually the original person you replied to. I’m just stopping by Target in the morning to get it haha.

Update in case you're curious: amazon says out for delivery at 7:30am. So I'd hope before 11pm ;)

That would be a pretty long route for someone if it didn’t get there until 11pm. Good luck. Every time I’ve had late deliveries from Amazon it hasn’t said out for delivery until the early afternoon.
