Japs prefer medieval settings to more modern ones, so Nintendo just stuck with Fire Emblem over Wars.

>Japs prefer medieval settings to more modern ones
referring to military and strategy/tactics stuff specifically, not in general. before some fag tries to correct me
>>
>>730634579
I think people in general like to have overarching progression where they "build" units up to be stronger over time, that's why RPG mechanics get slapped onto many other genres. Dual Strike kinda scratched that itch with CO ranks but otherwise the series doesn't have that.

The Japanese want strategy RPGs. Not strategy games.

It's insane that the DS had waifus like Lyn AND Shanoa. Also I didn't know till recently that DoR's artist was an SNK person, so it explains why that stuff is very good. I'm glad turbo trans feminists don't know about Lyn.

Basically these two

>>730634713
Doesn't matter how cute the girls are if they're ultimately reduced to interchangeable CO powers. Strategy games are already a struggling niche and there was little to get people interested in the franchise.
FE Awakening made the support system less retarded so people could see more character interactions that the series was so famous for and it paid off with sales and the highest review scores the franchise ever got. There's not a lot you could do for Wars without massively revamping the franchise, even making it more action focused like Battalion Wars on Gamecube and Wii did.
Honestly maybe an X-Com/Valkyria Chronicles-esque venture like Codename STEAM might've given the franchise better life or a way to pivot into a more marketable kind of gameplay. Certainly would've done better than Codename STEAM anyway. Valkyria Chronicles 1 and 4 cleared a million so there was an appetite for those kinds of games and who else but Nintendo to eat Sega's lunch?

Because someone doesn't want a cartoon game that glorifies war.

It is insane that the game that was supposed to bring the series back got delayed 2 years. I was wanting to buy it but by the time the game came out I lost all interest in it. Plus no multiplayer so it's like meh I'll just leave this one in childhood.

That's literally every first person shooter.

>>730638005
I remember in Battalion Wars 1 there was a mission on the islands area where you're supposed to blaze through with a Battlestation, and instead I held everyone back and controlled a single anti-air infantryman and systematically destroyed everything with it, including the enemy battlestation. Played it like a rollslop game. Took forever but I lost nobody.

NAH, there's a difference between an animated game with shooting, and a "kid friendly" game about war where one of the characters is Santa Claus

You mean Olaf? He's a parody of Stalin and the Russians (hence the Winter theme). The Santa connection is just a coincidence.

It's not fucking fair

And if you played the games you should know there's often a tragic backstory.
Grit defected from Orange Star when they invaded his hometown. He then fought off Blue Moon who did the same.

I can't fucking choose.
Sonja is cuter and I like her personality a little, but Lash has the best personality and the brat appeal and is a better commander.
