Fire Emblem Direct - January 18

gematsu.com/2017/01/fire-emblem-warriors-nintendo-direct-set-january-18

Five more days until more Fire Emblem Warriors news. Possibly Fire Emblem GO announcement as well.

bump

>Five more days until more Fire Emblem Warriors news.
you mean right now.
Fire Emblem Warriors characters consist of Fire Emblem Awakening and Fates characters. As seen by the swords in bubbles floating in the teaser.
Any other FE character from other games will be come in the form on DLC.
No Lyn or Hector for you unless you drop that $14.99 for those two character and a sound file.

Now the real question is

Why people call Musou shit but as soon as their franchise becomes a musou it becomes hot shit?

Are people tsundere for musou?

It is shit.
It's just a guilty pleasure.
Dragon Quest Musou though is a pretty damn good game.

It's the novelty of wiping out loads of enemies with characters from a series you love

At this point i just want Koei and their Warriors games to just go away.
It's like they make the same game 10 times in a space of 2 years, it's always the same.
>mash a million troops to the ground
>capture bases
>reach boss room and kill it
>continue in the next stage

It's gonna be mobile garbage only, who the fuck cares?

SMT Warriors and MegaMan Warriors, when?

>musoushit

I just want Lucina footage

They also use the same square maps for 20 years now

Hey, atleast they seem to be finally changing it on musou 9

-Fire Emblem Warriors
-Fire Emblem Mobile
-Corrin amiibo at last
-New amiibos for Fire Emblem Warriors
-Last of Fire Emblem Fates DLC for NA
-Fire Emblem Cipher for Japan

Basically: Dont expect FE15. Hyrule Warriors warranted its own direct, so can FE Warriors.

>10 times in a space of 2 years

your concept of time is way off

Why don't you go away? There are plenty of things in life you won't like, so just don't play it. Are you fucking retarded?

Oh great another one of these "games."

Berserk, samurai warriors 4-II, Empires, Hyrule Warriors 3DS, Arslan.
I'm probably missing much more, but they are probably just clones not made by koei.
No need to get your panties in a bunch just because of truths.

You still have no point,
how could any of these games possibly bother you if you dont like them

NIGGA JUST CLOSE YOUR EYES

im closing Sup Forums, you all have worthless lives

>how could any of these games possibly bother you if you dont like them

you want me to ignore things that bring me displeasure? Im not a bafoon

Dragon Quest Heroes and Hyrule Warriors were both pretty good and distinct enough from other musou games and each other, so I'm pretty curious to see where FE:W goes.

You are definitely a buffoon user, you should just embrace it.

>mfw it has breakable weapons and permadeath

woah, a post from someone that actually plays the games

Those designs look like shit

They better not pull a #FE and only include characters from the Marth games and Awakening/Fates, or i'm gonna be pissed. I've already been rused once.

Dragon Quest is the only i could concede being different than the rest because of it's tower of defense gimmick.
Hyrule Warriors is exactly like the rest.

In other words, Ike and Ashnard?

i'm assuming that's exactly what they're doing until shown otherwise

even then i doubt anyone but previous lords have a chance

Yes
Also I'd like the GBA lords or at the very least the ones from 7

Semen Demon Musou

To be completely honest, I have never played Fire Emblem, and most of my knowledge is purely from Smash.
However, I do like Musou (mainly HW and PW3), so I might give this a shot.
Any games I should try from the main series?

7 (just Fire Emblem in NA) or 8 (Sacred Stones) for the GBA are both good places to start and easy to emulate

7, 8 and 9 if you're new to the genre
6 and 10 if you want a little bit of challenge.
Keep in mind 9 and 10 are Wii games, so in case you can't emulate it, just try 7 and 8.

Path of Radiance or any of the 3DS games

7 and 8 are ok starts too

If I may speculate, let's look at the previous Nintendo Musou
>small cast, though several characters have an alternative weapons/movesets
>abundant waifus
>OCs, though ever since Orochi this is sort of expected in crossover musous
>certain memorable characters that fill niche movesets (Darunia as big guy with mace, Skull Kid as evil lasers guy, etc)

It should be noted that Fire Emblem has considerably more fighting males than Zelda, so there is potential for it to not be waifubait.

>Pirate Fates
>Can't choose a path

Well played Nintendo

there's no reason to ever start with 10

Alright. I have a Gamecube and Wii U, btw. Thanks.

Because you only play the genre for a chance to play as a character you love. I would never buy a dynasty warriors game but I bought Hyrule Warriors and I preordered Fate Extella because I like LoZ and I like Type Moon

Depending on who is confirmed in the Fire Emblem one I'll pick it up too. It's just a guilty pleasure thing

>owaine will be overpowered as fuck

I cant wait for his chuuni moves

owain is not gonna be in the game

Dragon Quest Warriors isn't a Musou is it?

It looks more like a traditional 3d action game with 1/3 the enemies of a traditional Warriors game. Musou is about autistically spamming buttons to watch a dozen enemies fly in every direction with some strategy about which cluster of enemies to fuck up first and varying degrees of difficulty (some enemies are like ants, other games have dozens of enemies that fuck you up at once)

So how many of the characters in this will be from Awakening/Fates? 75%? 90%?

Well, 9 and 10 (GC and Wii respectively) are great but they're very expensive if you can track a copy down. I've been hoping for a reprint/rerelease for a decade now. I have my copies still, but like it's nonsense that Ike is in Smash and no one can play his goddamn game without emulating.

>small cast, though several characters have an alternative weapons/movesets
Zelda has a smaller cast to work with, though I doubt FE Warriors will be that much bigger.

>abundant waifus
Many of the most prominent characters in Zelda are females. This is not the case with FE.

>OCs, though ever since Orochi this is sort of expected in crossover musous
Eh, with any luck it'll just be one or two at most. Cia was fine, though I wasn't a big fan of Lana.

>certain memorable characters that fill niche movesets (Darunia as big guy with mace, Skull Kid as evil lasers guy, etc)
Well this will be a given since FE works off of a class system. That is, assuming we get any characters who don't use a sword.

I can't imagine him or Severa or Inigo getting much spotlight considering how they underperformed in Fates.

>Marth
>Alm
>Sigrud, Seliph
>Leif
>Roy
>Eliwood, Lyn, Hector
>Ephraim, Erika
>Ike, Black Knight
>Micaiah
>Chrom, Robin, Lucina
>Corrin, Xander, Ryoma
Plus two to three OC characters.

That's the roster I'd like while trying not to be too unrealistic.
But I expect Marth will probably be the only pre-Awakening character

DQ was pretty damn distinct for a musou. The whole magic system, the greater variety in enemies, the bosses and mid-bosses, the hub and quest designs, it did a good job of melding DQ with musou rather than just slapping a coat of paint on and calling it a day.

Hyrule Warriors was fairly samey, though. It made an attempt, but it only really amounted to gimmicks with its tools and bosses. People mistake it for being distinct from the others only because it was really well designed and made, and came around the same time as DW8 and SW3 which were not.

not him but hyrule warriors had boss fights and enough enemy variety to help things feel different.

It's a tower of defense kind of game.
Defend a point in the map from waves of enemies and use enemy coins as stationary "towers".

I really want Camus, Sigurd and Alvis myself, but yeah, like you I'm just expecting Marth (maybe Roy too just for the Smash representation) and a bunch of Awakening/Fates shitters.

I'll play it if it's actually a fire emblem musou with a variety of characters and not an awakening/fates musou with fifteen variations of marth as separate characters

I'd expect Cordelia and Tharja over any of them. Severa has the best chance.

Remove Alm, Hector and Eliwood, add Tiki, and Anna as Day 1 DLC. Kinda iffy on Seliph but Japan really likes FE4.

That was mostly boss fights and base chiefs, because in most stages you were just killing the same type of cannon fodder goons, either they were lizards or gorons or skelletons.

I still think this will be shit, try being less salty about your franchise.

i don't
love musou, been playing since fucking DW2
its mindless, button mashing fun for me

i think the one piece musou are the best to capture the feel of fighting a ton of dudes with a powerful character

>Alm
expect like 5 more awakening characters at least

dude, battle network warriors would be fucking awesome. i wonder how they would use the chip limit though, since that is how you did shit in the GBA games

smt has a shit ton of demons to use as characters too

I wonder how varied the movesets will be because most of the lords use rapiers.

I guess assuming that they'll use the lords from all the FE games is a big assumption.

>yfw the first character shown is Lucina

what if alm and celica get in to introduce them to a wider audience ahead of the gaiden remake we know IS dreams of

the mini bosses were tough as fuck too, not like DW bosses that drop, even fucking lu bu.

i feel that it was because DQ was maybe better balanced. on some maps, i actually had to spam my special attacks a damn lot to kill shit that wasn't normal mooks.

i feel bad for any kamen raider people tho, you have been raped with battride war games that apparently aren't up to acceptable levels

No Hector, no purchase. Just let me mow down legions of enemies with a giant battle axe and we'll talk.

It's shit if it doesn't have AT LEAST Hector Ephraim and Sigurd

>Tharja gets in
>She's the only magic user in the game

All I want is for my nigga Nergal to get in as the Wizzro/Sima Yi/etc purple lasers guy.
Alternatively, Lyon.
Just no Tharja, please no Tharja. She can be Zhen Ji.

He's Dian Wei with hair, guaranteed in.

>who is Micaiah?
Also if Smash is any indication Robin will probably use magic.

Nergal, Julius or Lyon would all be cool as purple lasers guys, but I can almost guarantee you that if we get a character like that, it'll be Gharnef.

t>hey're going to blow their dark mage load on a generic unit instead of the dozen or so dark mage villains like Nergal, Lyon, or that nigga from the first game

I didn't think the switch could get any better, then I watch that presentation and see an FE musou.

>tfw switch release date is your birthday and you have enough vacation hours to take a paid week off of work

The first is a Musou Tower defense.
The second one is a normal Musou game but you traverse multiple open area's to get to your next story mission areas.

>BK as the only villain

That's gotta be at least two/three more.

A lot of people are using #FE as the precedent but Koei Tecmo usually puts a lot of respect and research into franchises they handle, I think it's probably safe to assume that we'll get about 2 characters per game, for 4 from the settings with multiple games, and some fan favourites to represent classes that don't have lord equivalents.

My biggest concern is that they'll go too hard on the waifu game after filling up the prerequisite male lords. I'm worried about getting an out of nowhere Marisa or something that'll kill the odds for both Navarre and Seth.

I want Cynthia and Inigo.

That would add up to over 20 characters. I seriously doubt that, though I'd love for you to be right.

Behold, the next Volga!

I would love to play as Nephenee but I doubt it would happen

Dragon Quest Heroes didn't have any villains until DLC to my memory so they might only represent villains as simple enemies. Fire Emblem's villains don't tend to be very popular in the communities compared to DQ villain memes and Zelda villains anyways.

Maybe they'll do it like Hyrule Warriors and have "packs" for various games that will include new characters and stages.

I can see the base game having mostly Awakening/Fates characters. But then releasing DLC for Tellius and Archanea.

musou is shit. I'm still waiting for hyrule warrior s to tank in value before I pick it up

>My biggest concern is that they'll go too hard on the waifu game after filling up the prerequisite male lords.
Well I mean most of the lords are male, so yeah. Non-lord females I think have the best shot are

>Tiki
>Sheeda
>Minerva
>Lilina
>Nino
>Ninian
>Serra
>Tana
>Elincia
>Mia
>Titania
>Tharja
>Cordelia
>Lissa
>Severa
>Azura
>Camilla

user please. If you didn't recognise the swords in the spheres then you don't belong in this thread.

The fact they only highlighted three games in the trailer tells you all you need to know about what the fact will look like.

>Marth, Tiki
>Roy, Zepheil
>Lyn, Hector
>Emphrim
>Ike, BK
>Micaiah
>Chrom, Robin, Validar, Lucina
>Corrin, Ryouma, Xander, Aqua

18 characters, where hyrule warriors had 16 to start. Stuff like the other lords, generic but popular units like thrja are dlc.

imo

2 characters from each title discluding remakes brings us to 22, which I think is actually fairly reasonable just for launch. Keep in mind that Hyrule Warriors had something around 15 characters at launch but extra combat styles that won't be in this game, and they'll be developing FEW with a reliable market instead of testing the waters.

Even if they opt to leave out a few games like Gaiden or Sacred Stones from launch we can probably expect a cast close to 20 with any extra slots filled by more characters from popular entries.

I really fucking want launch Ephraim though, spear lord the best.

Where's the fucking FE4 representation?

there's no way in hell they're putting only 2 from Awakening and Fates each. Just from the teaser we can tell corrin, ryoma and xander will be in anyway

FE2/5 will get shafted hard, maybe even 4 and 8

Cross referenced all the weapons.
All of them specifically from Awakening and Fates.
It's a fates/awakening Warriors game dude.
get over it.
Don't worry. You'll have your Marth and Roy.
Because Nintendo knows that you can't stop sucking them off.

replace validar with tharja because you know she'll be in the game. Ephraim isn't going to be in without Erika. Sigurd will probably be in it as well

Nah, I'm pretty sure popularity wise in Japan it goes Awakening/Fates > 1/3 > 4/5 (mostly just 4) > 6/7 > 9/10 > 8 > 2

>Thinking Nintendo will give you anyone other than the last two FE games characters.
How delusional are you?
Tharja will be the default mage character. She has far too much of a cult following to not.
As Much as I want Lyn and Hector in the game Normies don't know who the fuck anyone is before FE awakening so the chances of them getting in above Marth and Roy are negligible

>22, which I think is actually fairly reasonable just for launch
Unlikely. HW had 13, One Piece had 13, Berserk has like 10, DQ had 13. The first game is always for building everything up, the maps, the mobs, all the assets, and then they throw out more through DLC (definitely going to happen here) and in sequels they can inflate the numbers due to reusing assets. Best case scenario is 15 on release, a few as free DLC (like Psaro and the HW villains), then the numbers hitting the 20s with DLC and handheld ports over the year following release.

>As Much as I want Lyn and Hector in the game Normies don't know who the fuck anyone is before FE awakening
>Lyn
>not FE's first waifu
Lyn is guaranteed to be in the game. Hector not so much, and you should blame Lyn for that.

>in sequels they can inflate the numbers due to reusing assets

are any of these crossovers getting sequels, though, or are they one-offs?

it's obvious the game will only have Awakening/Fate characters and Marth

Haven't touched them but I'm sure you can whip up 15ish waifus from those 2 games

>Marth
>Chrom
>Lucina
>Robin
>Corrin
Fill the rest with waifus

One Piece Warriors is on its third installment now IIRC. DQ is on its second.

They'll throw in Roy and Ike to appease the guys who only know about FE from smash

Ike is the second most popular lord in Japan, he's getting in

DQ got a sequel, One Piece has 3 games, Fist of the North star got 2. Hyrule Warrior's port added 10 characters.

You don't know the half of it, Fire Emblem Xtreme Beach Volleyball, enjoy Tharja's buttbattle with Camilla

Chrom/Lucina's, Corrin's, Ryoma's, Xander's, Marth's.

Stop trying to end this is anything other than Archanea apologia

>Zephiel as a second FE6 rep not Lilina or Cecilia
>Not Eirika, Innes, or L'Arachel as Magvel #2
>No Sothe

>Pirate Warriors only had 13 characters
>Including no Smoker, Crocodile, Lucci, Buggy, or Mihawk
Wow. PW3 really is the best.

Fates is a husbando game though.
