Fire Emblem is circling the drain. But Fortune’s Weave will save it.
>>729529924It can't possibly be worse than Troongage.
Can’t wait for big empty maps for a paladin to solo
Unofortunately we've seen all the ugly characters in it so FE will remain dead.
>>729530662But enough about engage.
The characters of Fortune's Weave look good though. And Cai being a little shit and there being some painfully generic nog lieutenants, doesn't stop that from being true.
>>729531156Never thought I'd see a /v/edittor try to pit such shit games against eachother, but it is almost 2026. Absolute state
It probably won't sell well since its trapped on the switch 2
>>729531453Cai appears to be the MC, so him looking like shit is a big deal because you'll see that ugly fag the whole game.
>>729532209>Cai appears to be the MCOne of four. Depending on how the game handles them, you might not even need to see much of Cai at all. We don't know we're going to play through everyone's stories, or if we get to choose one or whatever.
>>729532476I wouldn't be surprised if the other three are just side lords joining up later for contrived reasons like Lyn to Eliwood/HHM.
>3 day long goontroon thread is overoh my bad thought this was a real thread for talking about a video game for a second
I really hope IS doesn't go the multi route slop route again
>>729533152My bet is that you play a couple of chapters as one, and then a coupe of chapters as another, and then a couple of chapters. And it cycles around.
>>729532476Why do the dudes look like faggots and what race is the woman on the right
Marriage with Marianne!
>>729529924Can I solely play as the nu-Alucard?
I will laugh if this garbo pozz weaves plays like radiant downs.
>>729532476I think the gimmick is that each army has separate rosters. Like in picrel, Cai's group is a different shade of blue compared to Dietrich's.So when deploying in a map, you have to do a specific amount from each army.
>>729533787>Why do the dudes look like faggotsNew to FE?
>>729529924Alucard and Shantae are going to carry this game.
>>729534548Well I happened to double click the wrong image. See how Cai and his g/f are darker blue, while Dietrich and others are a lighter (teal-ish) blue?
>>729534680And to zoom in on the minimap to confirm they are different colors.I don't think it's separate player phases (since they each have inactive units). I think it's separate armies to spread out roster usage, so you can't just go all in on units from one army.
>>729535039>"Oh so that mean's Cai is the MC, because he's dark blue!"No, in Leda's scene, him and his g/f are the secondary light blue. So it's a rotating cast of armies.
>>729529924I can already see the plot being about different races teaming up for a greater good, youtubers/troons love that shit and women already loved 3H so the game might have a small success
>>729529924I'm not buying a Switch 2 ever in my life unless Fire Emblem 4 Remake is real.Fuck the faggot ass system otherwise.
>Shitage goon thread deletedFinally a real thread
>>729535337>"So why does this matter?"Well, remember Dot Theory? One explanation I saw was that "Well, Cai is probably MC and they hid him for these pictures", but the issue is that Cai is always shown to be a different blue than the other lords. So you have a "primary" unit hidden strategically twice. Really sus.>Well what about the first scene here where there is no dot?>>729534680My prediction is this is the prologue/introduction chapter to open the game, before it does a flashback to each route to show how everyone arrived at the gladiator battles.
Oh, I forgot about this game. The one with Alucard.
The continued failure of Engage and Book 8.
>>729535579And to top it all off, my wild prediction would be that the MC introduced will be actually doing time travel to actually partake in the routes for each lord leading them to the main event.Four different paths, all with that mystery dot unit. So it's like a Mana or Octopath situation, but with an MC that is able to be present in all routes.Either that or the MC they want to hide could literally be something like Byleth. A whole explanation of "hey, maybe Byleth was in this alt timeline during the 5-year 'nap'".
Can't wait for the next trailer to drop so retards can stop with the mc/byleth schizo theories
>>729536065no u
Can't wait for the next trailer to drop so it can reaffirm my mc/byleth schizo theories
Can't wait for the next trailer to reaffirm my mc/Shez schizo theories
>>729532476God, these options are depressing. I hate that its just pissing me off more and more as time goes on.
>>729536758Shez!
>>729533307>another RD
I really hope alucard has a banger personality because his face and plastic armor won't be enough to carry the game
>>729536889The dancer seems alright.Reminds me of Primrose.
>>729530040Sadly, it's going to be based on 3HRT.
>>729535039>Map design is my passion
I've finally started coming to terms with the fact that Fire Emblem is paradoxically both the best and the worst tactical rpg series. Certain elements are better than any other game in the genre and then others are a huge heaping pile of dogshit that question how a functional human being greenlit them. God I hate this series that I've poured thousands of hours into.
>>729536065Anon who else is Sothis going to talk to that familiar.
>>729538170It's not the Sothis you know from 3H
>>729533787>Why do the dudes look like faggotsnewfag detected
>>729538009Fire Emblem is the best simply due to the damage formula being simple, most other trpgs from my experience have some nonsense damage formulas that obfuscate too much from the player making it harder for the player to calculate and plan around. FE games also generally tend to do map design better than a lot of its peers but that tends to vary between game to game.
fire emblem was never good
>>729540157OBJECTION
fire emblem was always good
>>729538009FE's main appeal was always the units themselves, having your favorites to play with, so that's probably what's affecting you, too.Later games having more supports/dialog between them was the natural evolution of that.https://shmuplations.com/fireemblem/—What do you think the genre of Fire Emblem is?>Kaga: I call it “roleplaying simulation.” It’s a new genre. Basically, it’s a strategy game. But strategy games typically are kind of “hardcore” and dry. (laughs) You only care about winning or losing the battle, and there’s no space for the player to empathize with the characters or story.>I love strategy games like that too, but I also love RPGs. By adding RPG elements, I wanted to create a game where the player could get more emotionally invested in what’s happening. Conversely, one of the drawbacks of RPGs is that there’s always just a single protagonist. Thus, to a certain extent, you can only experience the linear story that the game creator has prepared for you.>I wanted to create a game where the story and game will develop differently for each player depending on the units they use. Thus I added the strategy elements and arrived at this hybrid system.
>>729540309FE got better after Kaga left desu
Fire emblem
>>729540476Which one?
>>7295405166
>>729537705>SadlyAs long as it's not based on troongayge, it'll be fine.
>>729540410IS still hasn't surpassed Thracia 26 years later
>>729540617CQ mogs it, and many FE games compare
>>729540597Troongage at least has good gameplay unlike 3HRT
>>729540617Neither has Kaga himself.
>>729529924waifu emblem add ugly ass characters dead on arrival
>>729540585>Best nomad girlBased
Do we know what the nerd-girl's name is?
>>729540670Unfortunately, good gameplay cannot save troongayge, that's how much of a goyslop it was.
>>729538009everything worthwhile in this series was a fluke and despite that even the most middling fire emblems might as well be genre royalty considering how similarly designed by aliens, but fundamentally broken, its contemporaries are>>729540617whenever games do things like thracia you just call it gimmicky because those games dont have kaga's name on it
I hope Dietrich isn't gay like his (possible) descendents.
>>729540784Stop using terms you don't know the meaning of just because you read them here and are trying to fit in. Goyslop is one of the last things that describes Engage.
Reminder that the only FE game that can be called a flop is Radiant Dawn
>>729540784>umm actually gameplay isn't important3H fans revealing that they're storyshitters as per usual. Fucking worthless subhumans. If you're going to be a storyshitter, can it at least be a game with a good one, not Fire fucking Emblem?
TRS and berwick mog all GBA and tellius FEs
>>729540876>Goyslop is one of the last things that describes EngageIt actually perfectly describes garbage like troongayge, you just don't like the descriptor because you're a troongayge shill yourself.>>729540987>>umm actually gameplay isn't importantNobody said this, stop getting mad at things nobody said. Troongayge was still an awful dogshit of a game despite having "good" gameplay, and nothing will change this.
>>729540894That era of gaming was just unfortunate. Normie execs wanted AAA Call of Duty audience, while normies only bought what was marketed to them the most.So niche series/games suffered, especially because digital storefronts wasn't a thing yet everywhere.I remember when Ace Attorney 4 and Edgeworth's first game came out, I was the only person picking it up at the store.
>>729540894Remember when IGN gave RD a low score because RD didn't have Waggle
>>729541106>demonstrates proudly that he is in fact, a retard that doesn't know what goyslop means(lol
>>729541106>bad game despite good gameplayStoryshitter who doesn't even have the balls to admit it.
>>729540876>Goyslop is one of the last things that describes Engage.lmao Engagefags are always so funny
God you gamewar tards are so annoying
I can say this with certainty: This game is going to flop.
>>729541209>uhh akctually this /vt/ranny weebslop with dogshit everything (but slightly better "gameplay") is totally not a goyslopWhatever helps you cope.>>729541238>>bad game despite good gameplayYeah, troongayge is a dogshit "game" which was shat on by everybody.
>>729541327It's in the same exact position Awakening was in: a Fire Emblem coming in at the start of a new console's lifespan when there's absolutely no new RPGs to play on the system. It's going to do extremely well just from people picking it up on that alone.
>>729541112No matter the excuses, it's the only game that sold badly enough for the big N to step in and threathen IS to axe FE if they didn't get their act together.
>>729541327It will sell better than troongayge and troongaygees will seethe at it for years lmao
>>729541387>insisting it is goyslop when in the same exact post, you say it was shat on by everybodyYou really aren't the sharpest tool in the shed, huh?
>>729541084>Pays you to play Berwick Saga >Handholds your entire playthrough for multiple consecutive 12 hour sessions
>>729541480>goyslop means everyone should like it
>>729541457I can tell that you are a self insert fag
>>729541578Yes you dumbass. For example 3HRT fits the description of goyslop more than engage
>>729541591I can tell you have 0 arguments against that statement (because you know it's true).
>>729541578Goyslop means it is popular with the brainless masses yes. That is what a goy is in the first place. I can't believe I have to explain this to you like you're a fucking newfag.
>>729541645>akctually the Scooby Doo reboot with pajeet velma is not a goyslop because not everyone liked itOf course the troongaygie doesn't know what "goyslop" means lmao.
https://www.thegamer.com/fire-emblem-fortunes-weave-release-date-2026>FW is going to be the E33 of 2026Enjoy your goyslop
>>729541327There's not a lot else to play on the Switch 2 yet and it's connected to 3H which is the most successful title in the franchise. It will sell 2 million at least.
>>729541573>FEtubers need someone there to handhold them when they play a new FEPathetic. They're all so shit at FE.
>>729541402Sure but I would argue t he enthusiasm isn't the same around Fire Emblem right now, nor the Switch 2 in general, console gaming period. Right now things are tight. A $70 FE game or however much it winds up costing is a hard sell in this economy. Engage came and went, there was hardly any interest there. Three Houses had a big marketing push and played off the massive popularity of the Switch. Switch 2 doesn't have that kind of enthusiasm or momentum right now. The consumer is strained, I just dont think this is the game to get people to jump out of their seats.
>>729541578That's....littrally what goyslop means.Goyslop is shit like CoD. Or pokemon. engage cannot be considered goyslop because it's a mixed game
>>729541693>Goyslop means it is popular with the brainless masseSo coomers and chronic dilators (Troongayge's main ""fan"""base"). This is observable thanks to your garbage threads.
>>729541759>talks about not liking Engage and how 3H will last forever>go to authors profile>transCan't make this shit up
>>729541402Awakening was praised everywhere as one of the best games on the console with Kid Icarus, FW is not going to be in the same position. Also no smash bros hype to help this time.
>>729541764most people here are equally shit and just don't have the luxury of a handholder
>>729541810>That's....littrally what goyslop means.You literally don't understand what it means either. It doesn't have to be popular or well-received to be considered a goyslop, are you telling me something like Concord is not a goyslop because nobody liked it?
>>729541759>FW is going to be the E33 of 2026Now this is absolutely delusional.
>>729541948>are you telling me something like Concord is not a goyslop because nobody liked it?Concord isn't goyslop because nobody even got to play it retard. And everyone mocked it even the normies. So you're double wrong.
>>729541759>FW is going to be the E33 of 2026Holy cope
>>729541759>Make me care, as I didn’t with Engage at all.lmao
>>729542007bad selling goyslop is still goyslop.Concord was goyslop, 3H was goyslop, Engage was goyslop and FW is going to be the same.
>>729541759This is what a true 3H fag is like
>>729541759I like how even people like this admit that Engage's gameplay was top tier and better than 3H's but then say that it doesn't matter at all. Gameplay really is dead, it's just not important enough to the masses.
4 > 7 > 9 > New Mystery > 8 > 5 > Echoes > 6 > Shadow Dragon > 10 >>>>>> 3H >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Engage > Fates > Awakening
>>729542290holy retard
>>729542290Kino taste. Is Echoes really that good though? I should play that.
>>729542290holy based
>>729534468Every FEtuber will shill Fortune's Weave out the ass. The franchise's hype is falling back down to B-List levels and they all know they literally can't afford two flops in a row.
>>729542290I am a contrarian: the post
>>729537861it's a callback to awakening
>>729542290huh, not bad
>>729542290I don't trust people who rate Echoes highly, they let a nice presentation pull the wool over their eyes to judge something accurately.
>>729542464At least that makes more sense than Awakening, which has even worse maps but also dogshit everything else
>>729542464people like to shit on Echoes but it's nice to have a 3DS title that isn't pair up trash
>>729541759This is what we get for not gatekeeping people out of this hobby hard enough back in the 2010s, fuck.
>>729542464>nice presentationBullshit. Echoes looks like trash, especially compared to the original, I don't trust people who blatantly lie about the game "looking good."
>>729541402And earlier than Three Houses too it seems like. Three houses was 2 years after Switch 1 launched. This one will be one year after.What remains to be seen if they do/drop a Three Houses or Engage update/patch for Switch 2. That's what I'd like.Houses needs better visual updates, and Engage at natural 60fps would be nice too.
>>729541759>tranny>delusional takeyeah that tracks
>>729540839NTA but Thracia gets away with it because, (forgive me for saying the term) the entire game is caked in ludonarrtive harmony down to the lack of easily available weapons outside of the capture mechanic helping to simulate your control a true guerilla rebel force.Other FE don't fully commit and so it comes across as gimmicks.
>>729541759>look up the writer>is a trannyOf course.
>>729538009I've only played a few other tactical RPGs so I could be way off base, but one of the most important features of fire emblem is actually menuing and selecting things.Menu's are instantself-explanatory. Why do menus take a whole second to open. Who designed theseThe grid is Cardinal aligned (surprisingly rare in trpgs). Most games are Diagonal aligned which allows for more THREE DEE objects, but it makes it harder to gauge distances, especially if stuff is hidden by environmental objects or down slopes/staircases.Going one square on the grid takes one press of the button. Usually if you want to move a grid space in other games, you have to hold down the button and have the cursor slowly slide over to the next square. It makes moving in Fire Emblem way quicker because you just press the button and fucking moves. If you press the button once in Disgaea or FFT then the cursor will jiggle a little on the square and not actually move.When you click on a unit, it immediately opens up the move selection, and you can attack from the move selection too. So you click on your unit, move to an enemy, click the enemy, done. In a lot of other TRPGs, there's a dedicated "Move" option in the character menu, so if you want to move a character, you have to press the character, select "move," move the character next to an enemy (slowly, as I explained earlier), press the character again, select "attack," select the enemy (and in FFT's case, you have to press "Are you sure?" every single time), and then you're done (unless you're playing disgaea in which you have to press "execute" in the main menu for them to actually attack, but that's its own system that's actually kinda cool once you figure it out, but whatever). Way too much work for something you're doing thousands of times throughout the whole gameI got more actual gameplay balance complaints in other TRPGs but >text limit is kicking my ass, so I'll just leave it at that. The menuing in other games suck
>>729540775Julie, short for Ackjulie
>funds all the derailing discourse on /vfeg/ just for the sake of chaos
I legitimately can't wait for FEH to eos.
>>729544162You niggas have been saying this for the last five years.
>>729543968>Other FE don't fully commit and so it comes across as gimmicks.pretty much this, go whole hog or don't go at all
>>729544162Just 2 more weeks
>>729540987The people who like FE's story are the not the kind of people who can tell the difference between a good story and a bad story in the first place
>>729542290maybe you /v/fags ain't so bad after all
>>729544162Four more years! Four more years!
>one of the latest feh units just stops your unit from attacking all together and doesn't even let you dance or reposition them out of the way>every unit worth a damn attacks 3-5x times now>every unit worth a game takes multiple actions for freeeos can't come soon enough
Are Koei Techmo or whoever developed 3H developing this one too? I expect it will sell worse than 3H, and have worse writing, but have much better gameplay.
>>729544270>>729544298NTA, but as a fucking looney who's been riding Heroes since launch, it's very much seeming like the end.>powercreep's totally fucked and old units cannot keep up anymore>running out of new characters to put in the game from older entries until Weave drops>story's going full Ragnarok and gives you souped-up Alfonse as the freebie>they seemed to stop making fifth seasonal units to give out as TT rewards now, and are opting to give free older units instead>several events have just stopped running or being updated>they aren't making tie-in merch or releasing artbooks anymore>game naturally making less money, but is still making a decent amount of money for a late-stage mobageI liked being part of this game community and all and I liked the game for the most part, but I'm not gonna let that cloud how I'm seeing it with the game being at end of lifespan. I wish they'd at least make a Heroes spinoff to cement the chars and world and not let it be lost to the ether like Granblue opted to do as it's winding down. Busted fuckin' ArcSys FE fightan for Switch 2 do it.
>>729544667The game sucks so much ass now. I know it's been going downhill since around year 2, but I don't get how anyone continued to play after Fallen Edelgard fucked over the game balance irreparably
>>729544298 Every time someone says this, the gacha helllords at IS push the FEH button harder. Expect Book 9 to be the goriest one yet, with Zombie Chrom and Astral Baby Alear as the newest banners. And people will still pull because that +10 Anna alt is just two sparks away.
>>729545154you say this but every year banners sell worse, and the powercreep is so egregious that you have people like me who have 3500 orbs because they know that units have a 6 month shelf life, if you're lucky, so it's useless to roll
>>729544673I don't think Koei Tecmo has anything to do with this one. >much better gameplayIf it's another game like Engage where the gameplay is good but everything else is dogshit...It's not looking so good. I know that story is mostly window dressing. However this is a role-playing game, and if the story is so shit it takes you out of the experience that can put a stink on the overall experience even if the gameplay is good. Hopefully they realize what people actually liked about three houses and borrow some of the strong points of that game >rich world design>more grounded characters>detailed history not just for the events but the lineages of the characters and how they may relate to one anotherThen, take the better gameplay design of Engage. Cool maps, Engage's underrated improvement on animations. The fact they're returning to the universe of Three Houses comes off as more of a desperation move. Like they're clinging on to the most successful game after Engage was mostly ignored or even mocked for its presentation. The cynic in me has me believing this will be a worse game than both Engage and Three Houses, but hopefully I'm wrong.
>>729529924I don't think it's as simple as "3H = money Engage = flop so 4H= more money" but if they don't show off a proper avatar and just have us, as the trailers seem to imply, just using the main lords of each faction as the designated rep character for each POV I can see this one also falling short but for different reasons than Engage, no matter how good the story and gameplay is. Self-expression and even just a limited amount of player agency has been a huge element of larger games' success from live service titles like Fortnite and COD to single player stuff like Hogwarts Legacy. No reason to handicap yourself but shit I ain't the game designer.Though I can say I'm also willing to say I see it still selling better than Fates though 3H will probably stay the high mark of the franchise for a good few years. Honestly, the one that's gonna have a really tough time is the perpetually rumored FE4/5 remakes especially since it'll probably be the sophomore Switch 2 Fire Emblem. None of the mass appeal plus the slow migratory gameplay of its giant ass maps that'll probably make people instantly tune out after the obligatory first level demo? They're gonna add like six more Edelgard variants to FEH just to make up the deficit. Warriors Edelgard. Child Edelgard. Edelgard dressed as Chrom for some reason.
they should add a mechanic where every female NPC your male MC beats in combat you have a option to take them as a concubine and impregnate them to spawn your next round of heroes in the time skip.

>>729529924Fortunes Shart will kill the series for good. It's over
>>729531156Lol remember the leaks over that trash? Good times
Why did they lie about the fe4 remake
>>729531453It’s also exclusive to Switch 2. At least Prime 4 has the benefit of being cross gen. Doesn’t help that the Switch 2 has a steep price for some folks.

They didn't lie about FE4? It was your fault for believing baseless rumors in first place, giga faggot!
>>729529924nothing shown so far has made me excited for it.we'll see i guess
>>729546074Gaiden is THE black sheep of the franchise, nobody in 2016 would have thought a remake of it was going to happen and it somehow did. I don't particularly care for or want an FE4 remake but I wouldn't write it off as impossible.
>>729546495At least put that dancer from dragon quest 4 dumb zoomie.
>>729532873>Thread had a Lyn OP pic>First few posts are junk food waifu slopI wish pre awakening and post awakening could have separate threads
I will laugh if engayge doing badly made I$ cancel all the demakes, it would be truly the biggest self own ever for you fags.
>>729538009FE games get a lot of the smaller things right that makes them feel good to play, too many other strategy games or TRPGs have menus that are too cumbersome. But I think FE gets two very important things right, map design and limited resources. Good map design helps with the player having to make good short-term planning, while limited resources such as EXP or weapons helps the player make good long-term planning, so you strategize on two different levels (provided you're ignoring ways to infinitely grind). The only other strategy/tactics game that comes close to FE's enjoyability for me is original x-com, and I think that's because the timer that game puts you on forces you to strategize more since even though you can "infinitely" grind, the more time you spend fucking around the stronger the alien threat gets. Essentially, when it comes to strategy/tactics games, the player needs to be put under some sort of stress that forces them to plan long-term, be it through limited resources or through time limits. If you don't have something like that, the player can just grind infinitely without consequence to get around any challenge, and remove any element of strategy.
>>729534548How come I read the first as >I fuckin love kids

>>729546595it ain't happening, it would cost to much and return to little.and even if it did it would be toned down since fire emblem shirked any of its actual gritty story telling and the guy who made it doesnt even work there anymore, its essence would be lost.you will not get child murder, you will not get dementia induced NTR, you will not watch all your playable characters get killed, you will NEVER get a hint of rape bandits ever again in this series

>>729529924I hope it diesAwakening and its fans ruined the series forever
>>729540157>fire emblem was never goodEver since Kaga left? or Awakening changing the series for the worst? Genuine honest question. Anyone can answer with their opinions
>>729540585Okay fine I’ll give you a Sue Aceman
>>729547134>SialfiZiguldo and Serlis energy
>>729547343Fire Emblem suffers from each game or two basically being its own beast with just enough connective tissue to make it cohere into a series.Because of this spread out over such a long period of time most people not only have favorites, but favorites that are so disparate in why people like them that they like hate multiple other games.Fire Emblem was never good because every game is someone's least favorite and they are loud about that.Also >>729538009
>>729540617Ngl I’ve started playing Thracia and successfully capturing enemies gives me a small dopamine rush, also getting extra turns and leveling movement is insane. FE5 isn’t technically my favorite of the Kaga games, those would be FE3 and FE4.
>>729547627Thank you Kaga-san
>>729546074Nah they probably just pushed it back for a calendar filler since after Echoes' weak performance and Engage's room temperature reception they figured it wasn't a smart idea to try to push an FE remake right in the first year of Nintendo's nascent Switch 2, especially when Engage gambled hard on non-existent nostalgia for pre-Awakening FEs and lost.Fortune's Weave is (assuming it sticks to its 2026 target) going to be launching with a lot of rising tide titles like the inevitable Mario movie boost to any Mario games like last time, and the long awaited 3rd Tomodachi game. First few years of a Nintendo platform are gonna be do-or-die and this is not the time to die. A 3H successor or at least a 3H pivot always had to be the play coming off Engage.But really, my only conspiratorial reasoning is FE4 and FE5 are the only FE games not represented in the Switch 2 FE avatars, they could've just used old art like FE6-10, there's certainly no shortage of official Jugdral character art, but the Marth and Celica pics use their remake art. So the absence is just highlighted. Why not throw out some old profile pics of Seliph and Leif and call it a day?
>>729529924>Fortune’s Weavewhat's your biggest fear with FW?
>>729540775That nerd girl will never be a popular waifu
>>729547684Romanization can be funny
>>729540861>Not Alucard
>>729540894>>729541112>>729541421Nintendo Directs did not exist in the 2000s and Nintendo didn’t give actual marketing to FE until Awakening. I’m not even an Awakening fan btw.
>>729549321dipshits on the internet keep making up bullshit reasons as to why awakening got popular when it was literally just an advertising budget that made it sell well
>>729549321Awakening wasn't even marketed tho
>>729541693
>>729549446how the fuck did this shitty 15 year old /ck/ meme become known worldwide in such a short span of time
>>729541785>A $70 FE game or however much it winds up costing is a hard sell in this economy.This, people need to chill out with all the hype. Fire Emblem is still very niche outside Japan. Same way Metroid is niche in Japan.
>>729549446It's funny because this is literally popularized from "goyslop" shitposts on 4chan that originated on /ck/ and spread to the rest of the site, and then elsewhere.
>>729541902>Also no smash bros hype to help this time.If a new Smash isn’t announced in the same direct that has FW then yeah it won’t have that to help back it up. I remember rewatching the E3 2018 direct and it had 3 Houses and Smash Ultimate in the same direct. Little did we know it was foreshadowing to the biggest disappointment
Why does everyone recommend Engage to beginners when you need to have played every single game in the series (including ones that only received fan translations) to get it?>uh you want to get into mecha anime? Sure bro just play SRW lol
>>72954367690s Celica is just a different beast
>>729549392What's funny is you called it half a minute before >>729549425

>>729549845>uh you want to get into mecha anime? Sure bro just play SRW lolI'm an SRWfag and literally nobody says this like...ever. There are series that are popular BECAUSE of SRW giving them a spotlight but nobody ever says what you said

>>729549943doesn't count
Thracia was a flop
>FE fighting gameThat already exists, haven't you guys played it yet?https://flashgames.cx/game/%E3%83%95%E3%82%A1%E3%82%A4%E3%82%A2%E3%83%BC%E3%82%A8%E3%83%A0%E3%83%96%E3%83%AC%E3%83%A0%E6%A0%BC%E9%97%98%E3%82%B2%E3%83%BC%E3%83%A0
FE3 was a flop
>>729546502I also lowkey think Nintendo sticking with cartridges for the N64 is related to why Kaga left and FE64 getting cancelled. FE didn’t even get a Gameboy game that’s two consoles FE skipped out on.
>>729550384Anon, you really think they released an SNES game in the year 2000 wanting it to be a commercial success? Thracia was a passion project made solely for the hardcore fans and it was a resounding success in appealing to them. You never see that in modern times anymore, it's extremely respectable.
>>729550498>B-but it's because of-Doesn't change the fact that Thracia is a flop
>>729550529I FLOPPED my COCK on your MUM last night
>>729550529I flopped your mom
>>729550569>>729550595Your joke was a flop
>>729550646Just like your life
>>729550498FE scholars why they didn't make a N64 game again? People were thirsty for a RPG in that system so FE could've gone viral in the west a few gens earlier.
>Telliusfag is seethingThe games you jerk off almost killed the series (lol
>>729550738Kaga just hated the N64. Miyamoto really wanted an FE game there but plans fell through for whatever reason and then Kaga went on to make another SNES game instead and leave Nintendo right after.
>>729550738Kaga hated the N64 so he decided to make Thracia instead. Then after Thracia, he left and whatever the rest of the team had on what little they worked on for FE64 was moved over to the GBA.
>>729547067Same way people want Mother 3 localized, this is one of the reasons it’s not happening
>>729550738There was supposed to be one, it got canned. most likely because of Kaga and nintendo's relationship completely falling apart around this timeThis screenshot is the only proof left FE64.Some of the concepts got recycled for FE6
>>729550784>Nooooooooo it's because Super Mario Galaxy STOLE all the sales!!!!!
>>729550902I wonder if only cutscenes were going to be isometric or if the entire game was. It's really bizarre to think of an alternate timeline where FE became another isometric tactical RPG.
>>729529924that first bite of komuroshit writing is going to melt people's eyeballs
>>729547897>But really, my only conspiratorial reasoning is FE4 and FE5 are the only FE games not represented in the Switch 2 FE avatarsThey could still have them as redeemables if you simply play the NSO games, no remake necessary.
>>729550971The idea of an isometric FE is certainly something.. Or even Hexes
>>729549845You don't really need to watch every show in a SRW game to play them, like I doubt most SRW fans have seen Daitarn 3 even though Banjo is featured in over half of the franchise.
>>729546595the difference is that genealogy has a good reputation despite have an extreme salient design. Someone internally could have made an argument for it on money grounds (although no one giving a shit about Genealogy stuff in Engage probably killed it if it ever had any momentum). Gaiden was just letting a designer that was obsessed with Gaiden personally have his way and hoping passion would carry it to success
>>729550971Kaga had been trying to make FE isometric as late as during TRS's development. He sorta got his wish after in Berwick.
>>729551080FE4 and FE5 are already on Japanese NSO but there are still no icons from those games, and yes there is a FE6 Roy icon despite his game also being only on the Japanese NSO.
>>729550738>FE could've gone viral in the west a few gens earlier.If Marth was added to Smash 64 yeah, it could’ve even lead to Binding Blade being the first localized game and if we’re really lucky we could’ve gotten an FE3 Port to the GBA since it was famous for its SNES ports.
Hopefully your franchise will finally become woke after FW
>>729550902Fun fact: Golden Sun also started off as an N64 game soon to be moved to the GBA correct me if I’m wrong. And you guys should all already know about Earthbound 64 and Mother 3. When you really think about it the N64 really seemed like an anti JRPG machine, crazy how it turning 30 soon.
>>729550910Omg will history repeat itself and another game ends up stealing FW sales? Doesn’t have to be Mario but it is ironic how the Galaxy movie is coming out the same year as FW.
>>729551593DQ7 was supposed to be a N64DD game originally. That didn't happen (because of the DD being a mega flop) and it got shifted to PS1There's others. Ao no Tengai was supposed to be a DD game. Canned and shifted to GBA. Just like mother 3.
>>729551373FE5 is on Japanese NSO??? I need picture proof right now!
>>729551775After checking the list it's not there, seems I was mistaken about that. Regardless FE4 is on the service but still no Switch icons.
>>729551326I hate isometric so much
>>729550458FE3 was literally the only FE that actually drew dimes before Awakening
Imagine the sex
Never played FE but my gf keeps gushing over boys of this series, should I be worried?
>>729553198yes, dump her immediatelyif it's Dimitri then you should kill her for good measure
>>729553198Things that didn't happen:
>>729552851This is me
>>729553198And everyone clapped
>>729553198Dress up as Chrom and start doing Jotaro Kujo lines to give her the real Matt Mercer experience
>>729553273this
>>729551593JRPGs were big games back then, since they were moving to 3D, they needed a lot of space that the N64 just couldn't provide. Even on PS1 where they all moved to, they still needed multiple discs so you can see why all the JRPG devs of the time did not like the N64 so they either jumped ship to Sony or waited for the GBA so they could make scaled down SNES style JRPGs again.
>>729553198That girl’s name? Albert Einstein.
>>729553198>gf keeps gushingPost her gushing please
>>729553198You can give her to me if you don't want her
>>729553442I've always found it kind of interesting IS never released an FE game on the original GB or GBC, they were extremely popular at the time and got a bunch of RPGs. Perhaps Kaga didn't want to scale back for a handheld?
>>729553442Honestly the N64 seemed perfect for SRPGs, you just needed to have 20-30 limited maps which only had to be rendered one at a time, and a bunch of 2D sprites ala FFT and similar games of the era.Space wouldn't be a problem and you still could have a decently long experience.
>>729553273I've seen vtubers (female) talking about Fire Emblem men.
>>729554098grim
>>729554098like, out of your own free will?
>>729554098They should livestream a girl gooning contest where they jill off to hot men and see who lasts the longest
>>729551686Fire Emblem Warriors came out right next to fucking Super Mario Odyssey and still sold better than almost all Fire Emblem games at the time besides Awakening and Fates. At some point you guys have to stop making blaming Mario for an unrelated game's problems.
Mounting Annette
>>729553642Considering how they were putting out SNES FE games well into the N64's life they probably weren't really in a position to pivot to handheld. Their Game Boy games mostly have them working in tandem with Nintendo's in-house handheld teams.And the Nintendo Wars entry on Game Boy, I guess.
>>729553016Weird to see Western art of her OHOHOHO laugh when they removed it from the localization.
>>729554517The real big reasons for RD's failure is being a direct sequel to a failed Gamecube game from 2005 (Gamecube was already on it's deathbed with the Nintendo Revolution announced) and the Wii/Wii audience itself was not really befit for a niche anime TRPG. The Wii was a console for casual motion control gimmick games, all you need to do is look at reviews from the time complaining about no miis or motion controls or the difficulty.
>>729554610giwtwm
>>729554815>they removed it from the localization.Those bastards
Ok faggots, place your bets:Prequel or Sequel?And why?give me your most autistic take imaginable to defend your stance.
>>729549845The best Fire Emblem to start with will always be a) the one you can realistically play on the hardware available to you RIGHT NOW and b) the one that most interests you. If Engage meets both conditions, then you should start with Engage. It's that fucking simple. All this over-thinking and over-explaining about the pros and cons of starting with X or Y is pure neuroticism that doesn't register with new players in practice.Awakening brought in millions of new players and was loaded with retarded meta references and shit gameplay systems. Just pick somewhere and start.
>>729555562Alucard is Mercedes and Jeritza's son that travelled back to the past because they got Kaga back in the office
>>729555561boo hoo you will do nothing you bitch
>>729555728Boo hoo my cock
>>729555562sequelthere will be a character that will vaguely resemble Dimitri and Edelgard so that schizos online can headcannon them to be the child of Dimitri and Edelgard. This will boost sales tremendously
>>729555750tiny like your masculinity
>>729555642This, just play literally anything
They made game that sold badly because it looked like crossover slop and they need to be saved again?
>>729555728>boo hoo you will do nothing you bitchYes, I played it with Japanese voicesI also understand a lot of Japanese words and can easily figure out what they cut from the original dialogue this way, sometimes, whole sentences are removed or whole paragraphs are added for english localizationIts crazy and it makes me think that the localizers almost double the dialogue amount to give the voice actors more work so they earn more money lol, a whole fucking mafia
>>729555642>All this over-thinking and over-explaining about the pros and cons of starting with X or Y is pure neuroticism that doesn't register with new players in practice.my favorite episode of this is talking about how 'approachable' any game from the past 20 years is or isn't, because it always assumes for no reason the new player will play on lunatic/ maddening instead of literally anything else that would make sense
>>729556274If the same message gets through, then a little spice in the words used is perfectly acceptable
>>729542290Actually garbage taste. 7 is severely overrated and a mediocre game and Echoes is literally worst game in the series.
>>729542290Great taste
>>729556678Dogshit opinion
>>729556802Nope
>>729555562Prequel, there will be time travel bullshit.

>>729556508>If the same message gets through, then a little spice in the words used is perfectly acceptableSure but no whole paragraphs added, sometimes doubling the fucking dialogue with bloat Last time I saw that for the English Dub of Dragon Quest 8, they added over 60 more lines of dialogue than the original japanese voices. just utterly insane shit
>>729557014>fan troonslation
>switch 2 emulation dead in the waterfuck, I'm not gonna be able to play this for yearsI love FE but I just can't justify buying a whole system for a single game, especially when I don't have a TVI haven't owned a nintendo console since gamecube and yet I've managed to play every FE since
>>729557583How about get a fucking job, deadbeat, and then buy it and have a good time with your purchase
>>729557438>English Dub of Dragon Quest 8, they added over 60 more lines of dialogue than the original japanese voices>DubEnglish is the original VA anon, DQ8 PS2 jp version never had VAs that was a new addition for the western release. Only 3DS had jp VA and that IS the dub
>>729557583ignore that anon, believe in the good will of the pirates
>>729553198How did your GF find out about FE? Might have to dump her anon
>>729529924Nah. Fire Emblem is dead. Series needs to be buried rather than beating the dead horse.
>>729557583Don't waste money. Good things will happen eventually. Don't reward nigger behavior
>>729557656>nintendies being this madI guarantee I make more money than youI'm a PC gamer, I don't play on consoles, esp since nintendo hardware is atrociously out of date. Emulation Nintendo games is unironically the best way to play them. And instead of trying to fix the issue - making better hardware - nintendo just does the same low-hanging grape shit by suing anyone trying to reverse engineer them. The only reason I'm attached to FE despite being a PC game is because I played the OGs on gameboy when I was kid*sips beer*FE7, now THAT was an FE game
>>729553642IS did make some “Wars” games on the GB, that reminds me, not only was there a cancelled FE 64 but a cancelled 64 Wars.https://youtu.be/SndPfgkuJE4
