Fire Emblem Awakening and Fates have: >an Avatar to allow the player to immerse themselves in the story >supports for bonus character development outside of the plot >a marriage system to entice players to unlock supports between units they like as well as.. >unique children that can be modified via eugenics to make stronger units >Pair Up to allow for more strategy, refined in Fates with Attack and Guard Stance >My Castle in Fates that gives you something to do between chapters with online interactivity to visit and battle with others >beautiful CG cutscenes >tons of content [Awakening - 26 Chapters, 23 Paralogues; Birthright/Conquest/Revelation - 28 Chapters, 22 Paralogues] >with Xenologues factored in, it's very possible you will never run out of maps to play
Fire Emblem Echoes has: >no Avatar, Alm is still the main character, if you don't like Alm as a character then tough break >no supports >no marriage system; Alm and Celica were a pair in the original game, if you don't like Celica, you're out of luck >no child units >no Pair Up >no petting or other notable features from My Castle >it's trying to stay as faithful to Gaiden as possible, meaning that QOL changes from Awakening/Fates are removed >only five (5) chapters, Gaiden is one of the shortest FE games >2D QUALITY anime cutscenes >clearly a tight budget, B-team pet project just to keep the 3DS alive a liiiiiiiittle while longer while the true A-team works on FE Switch >fast localization implies that there isn't a lot of text in general to translate, less content >will sell very poorly if word of cut features gets out >poor sales will convince IntSys to not remake other past titles (good)
>all three games have the same price
So why are we excited for this again? You're paying the same money for less content. Just because it's a remake doesn't mean it has to be as barebones as the original. I guess since Fire Emblem is popular now it doesn't matter if you gyp the fans or not.
Reminder OP is just a shitposter and people outside of Sup Forums aren't this retarded.

>No petting
It wouldn't be in the NA version anyway.
Hudson Robinson
>no avatar >no child units >no pair up >no petting
Fire Emblem Echoes sound more interesting.
Kevin Cooper
Not an argument.
Benjamin Rodriguez
it's gonna be shit, but it's still infinitely better than nuFE because no kozaki art and avatar. mainline fe is guaranteed to be awakening rehashing
Henry Thompson
I don't like self-insert avatars though. I can be immersed in a story without needing a stand-in for the player and often find that in the case of Awakening and ESPECIALLY Fates, that conversations with Corrin devalues whichever character they talk to by proxy. At least Robin was kinda likeable since until the last third of the game he was just a guy.
I know but I'm bored and wouldn't mind genuine conversation.
Parker Cox
Putting the bait aside for a second, do people really want child units to be a mainstay for the series? It made sense in 4, was nice as a throwback/nod in Awakening and was forced as fuck in Fates.
Ryder Sanchez
I still don't get why they remake Gaiden instead of just going for FE4 and 5.
Isaiah Brown
>clearly a tight budget, B-team pet project just to keep the 3DS alive a liiiiiiiittle while longer while the true A-team works on FE Switch
Even though this is a bait thread this ain't wrong.
I'm pretty confident they're going to take a break from it in the switch title, or at least only give one to the avatar.
The kids in fate felt like they had zero presence in their world and their chracters suffered a fuckton for it.
Ryder King
Thank you OP, I'm sold. Game looks fantastic.
Blake Collins
Is there incest involved with this brother/sister pair ? This is important.
Caleb Cook
Nice going Op, starting the thread with such bait so it stays alive.
Eli Adams
>no avatar >no cringy romances >no dumbass child units >bad
Dominic Brooks
I only want them in the next game if they do a timeskip. Otherwise they should drop it.
Camden Stewart
>So why are we excited for this again? For me its just Hidari's artwork. This is the first Amiboo I'll buy.
Bentley Lee
The game engine, character designs and basic story is there already, that significantly cuts their workload already.
And by the time it releases, Fates would have been released 2 years ago. 2 years is plenty of development time.
Caleb Cook
is this the bitching thread? last one just archived
Anthony Brooks
Hey, no avatar and childs is good, but don't talk shit about the supports.
Jaxon Turner
People hyped for Echoes probably haven't even played Gaiden, its maps are WORSE than Awakening and was the inspiration for that game's map design
Daniel Rivera
>Fire Emblem Echoes: Generations of Jugdral coming May 2018 for the Nintendo 3DS family of systems
Gavin Ward
No. They were Stupid as fuck in awakening already. It made way to many god damned hnit and recruitment missions to care. I want a reasonably sized cast instead.
Dylan Flores
They actively made the story worse in Awakening and Fates. If they do include them in future games, they should have a timeskip like in FE4.
Matthew Mitchell
Japan hated a lot or the children in Fates especially when 60% of them are rehashed old characters from past ganes.
I see them dropping the mechanic next game.
While marriage system is still there, there will be no child mechanic
Landon Gutierrez
I'd be all over an Elibe saga remake where you could pair FE7 charcters to have an effect on some effect on the resulting FE6 crew. Keep the pairing options very limited like the originals however so you can focus more on developing meaningful interactions.
I'll shittalk the supports all I want, Awakening supports all go like this
>character A displays their anime trope >character B talks about it >character A then comments about character B's anime trope >repeat unril they decide to fuck each ofher
It's shit.
Joseph Stewart
They were good in awakening because it was justfied in universe due to the time travel plot. But was complete bullshit in fates, "putting the kids in a alternate dimension until they grown up" really?
Samuel Perez
This is a bait thread, but some of the criticism is valid.
The map design is honestly pretty weak in Gaiden, and the lack of supports will hurt the quality of the characters. The story, while better than say Fates, is still nothing to go crazy about.
The game is gonna need some updates to be good.
Cooper Cruz
can we at least move to a new thread without a bait op
Charles Nguyen
They said that they're rebuilding the game from the ground up, so they could easily be changing the maps. And there are some inconsistencies between Valm in Awakening and what happened in Gaiden, so it's likely that the remake will change things to make them consistent.
Henry Price
>no Avatar, Alm is still the main character, if you don't like Alm as a character then tough break >no supports >no marriage system; Alm and Celica were a pair in the original game, if you don't like Celica, you're out of luck >no child units >no Pair Up >no petting or other notable features from My Castle >it's trying to stay as faithful to Gaiden as possible, meaning that QOL changes from Awakening/Fates are removed So its going to be a great Fire Emblem unlike Awakening/Fates? Shit, with no supports as well, that makes it even better, I better get ready to preorder this, it might steal Shadow Dragon's spot as my favorite FE.
Parker Baker
Anyone else find it odd that Amazon is the only retailer taking preorders?
Lincoln Hernandez
>Half-dragon Roy would be canon I'd be down with it.
Leo Foster
You do know at the very least they're going to add in an ABC support system and probably even marriage, right?
Ryder Evans
No, I liked the child units as individual characters but I'd rather them just be standalones.
Lincoln Miller
>Shadow Dragon >favourite FE You should probably play more than one FE game.
William Walker
>shadow dragon user your taste is sp fucking bad it's embarassing. Literally the worst FE, and why im hesitant for Echoes. The new shit they tried just didn't work with the game they were remaking. Reclassing and stuff just ended up fucking retarded in that one.
Jackson Hill
Nice bait. I'm an awakeningbaby myself and I'm fucking pumped for Valentia.
Josiah Ortiz
Child is too much of a reality to break people's fantasy of waifu romance.
Its like anime polt are mostly end up with confession, two people finally getting together or sth. But if you bring about the after life, its just seemed too heavy for people to take in.
Henry Rogers
>Shadow Dragon's spot as my favorite FE kill yourself
Jayden Williams
This game will be the perfect test to see if FE's new fanbase will buy a traditional FE. I doubt it.
Benjamin Kelly
>>no Avatar, Alm is still the main character, if you don't like Alm as a character then tough break >>no supports >>no marriage system; Alm and Celica were a pair in the original game, if you don't like Celica, you're out of luck >>no child units >>no Pair Up >>no petting or other notable features from My Castle Sounds like the best Fire emblem this decade
Juan Rogers
>if you don't like celiac Celiac is literal goddess tier. Only someone as retarded as you wouldnt like her.
Sebastian Perez
How much of the cast of FE6 would that even effect?
Dominic Campbell
How can you like shadow dragon? its remake is the worst game ever.
Connor Gray
Map design and adding supports are incredibly easy to fix though, it's not like they're going to stay faithful to bad features.
Joseph Mitchell
Barely enough for it to matter.
Roy/Lilina/Sue/Lugh/Raigh
Xavier Butler
>Shadow Dragon's spot as my favorite FE >being hyped for fucking Gaiden because it's not Awakening/Fates
Aaron Thomas
>no avatar >no child units >no pair up >no petting >no My Castle
Sounds better already
Camden Wood
the trailer might have given a wrong impression because the two battle scenes we saw were exact replicas of the NES version iirc
but I'm sure they'll improve things
Daniel Ward
ABC supports and proper paired endings I'd be fine with. They probably won't add in S Rank/Marriage stuff, but I'll hold my tongue. Alm and Celica will still end up being endgame regardless though.
Eli Nelson
Wolt, Bors, and Wendy too.
Angel Anderson
>it's not like they're going to stay faithful to bad features. >Shadow Dragon
Nolan Martinez
I am scared Sup Forums, what will NoA censor? anons told me the original game has nothing that could be censored but what if they add new stuff that could?
Lincoln Mitchell
>no Avatar, Alm is still the main character, if you don't like Alm as a character then tough break Taking the bait. The "self-inserts" in Awakening/Fates still have characters. I fucking hate Corrin and I was stuck with that fucker for some 26 x 2 chapters.
Henry Rogers
>lewd weeb shit getting censored
Who cares?
Lucas Perry
They realize hat was stupid of them and learn their mistake in FE12.
Sebastian Walker
yeah
corring not having a character would have been an improvement. Fucking retarded piece of shit
Charles Sullivan
>Bors and Wendy You probably meant Clarine, Klein and Fir but those three are fixed.
Easton Lee
*that
Landon Nguyen
They seem to have learnt their lesson with New Mystery of the Emblem. I'd be incredibly surprised if this game is as bare bones as Shadow Dragon.
Andrew Peterson
I do, i literally didn't get fates because the 90s level censorship.
Samuel Hernandez
I've finished four of them (Shadow Dragon, Sacred Stones, Path of Radiance, Awakening) and I'm in the middle of Binding Blade and New Mystery of the Emblem.
I like the simplicity of it compared to other FEs, there's no supports so you don't have to worry about sitting units next to ones that have supports with and shit, plus it has my favorite art and overall my favorite music of the series.
Jackson Rogers
apparently not
Tyler Reyes
Is no supports confirmed? I've played all the FEs from 6 onward and the worst ones had little or no supports, and I doubt that is a coincidence.
Jace Cooper
They could also make Sue Lyn's kid if they wanted to
Lucas Ross
Anything new they add that's could be censored is probably shit and makes the game worse anyway.
Brayden Allen
I don't think ninty is that stupid. Direct showed they want to please all audiences. Shit like this is to keep the hardcore fans invested even if it doesn't sell well. Hardcore fans are less volatile and won't leave you for something else as fast as normies. They also generate most the buzz and talk about your IP. They also clearly want to sell the IP to non srpg fans and cash in on gacha. It's all just to bolster the IP.
Anthony Campbell
It will probably have the old support system pre awakening
Alexander Lewis
Shadow Dragon has supports. Just no conversations. IS never took out supports since the mechanic was introduced, what they took out was conversations.
No, unless they're forced on you like in FE4. Even in Awakening they were annoying - by the time you could get them, your army was a much higher level. You had to go out of your way and grind to use them.
Ayden Hall
She might as well be since its Lyn or nothing.
Joseph Hall
Supports are entirely optional though. Only an autist would be flustered by not being able to complete every single support. I'd imagine that you will at least prefer FE12 to it when you've completed it, otherwise you have a serious case of shit-taste syndrome.
Matthew Myers
Stay in your Neptunia thread, weeb.
Kayden Davis
> Literally shaking right now, NoA is literally gonna rape us with that censorship
We gaminism now.
William Ross
>Brother/Sister user...
Daniel Wood
If you want children that badly either do a FE4 or just make an outright sequel game staring them.
Jaxon Jenkins
Are you sure they're not adding any more chapters? I recall seeing a description for a Japanese special edition DLC saying that it makes the "earlier chapters" less difficult.
Daniel Lee
Some people just come to Sup Forums to bitch and cry all day long. They don't actually enjoy video games.
The only reason things got to this point is majorly due to staff incompetence.
Jayden Hernandez
>this entire post What are you even talking about? Are you ok?
Camden Rogers
Grind and Gold dlc.
Luis Ortiz
All fe dlc has been terrible and unesesary. Sometimes even making the game worse.
Ayden Morris
I don't try to complete the supports, but I feel like I should sometimes, when a unit dies I think that I probably would have saved myself a reset if I played around supports.
Jason Peterson
I sure as fuck didn't like Corrin, so don't give me that "AN AVATAR TO IMMERSE YOURSELF INTO THE STORY!" bullshit. All you did was just change the look of the main character's chat icons, nothing more.
There was nothing to immerse into Fates due to how horrible the storytelling was and how bad everything around it was as a result.
As far as Echoes goes, we don't know too much about it at this time, save for it being more or less gold at this point in time. If it does like Shadow Dragon and stays somewhat faithful to the original while modernizing other elements, it will likely be enjoyable. The fact that they're pulling amiibo out for it that is unique to the game speaks quite a bit about how confident they are in what they're offering, since the entire premise of amiibo is to release a product they expect to sell
Jeremiah Wright
>>no marriage system; Alm and Celica were a pair in the original game, if you don't like Celica, you're out of luck >>no child units >>no Pair Up >>no petting or other notable features from My Castle
good.
Jeremiah Adams
I meant by the fact they said it had "earlier chapters", and if there's only 5 then only the first two or one would be considered "Early"
Levi Wilson
>this The avatar just feels out of place anyway. There aren't any real rpg elements to justify it.
Mason Adams
>an Avatar to allow the player to immerse themselves in the story
The Tactician in FE7 was perfect, no special avatar bullshit.
Nolan Collins
Well, not him but I kinda do.
Not complete it in game, but after finishing it, I will always enjoy finding all the support dialogues to read them. Not only builds up the character but also enrichs the lore for me.
Jose Morales
>tfw we will never get a Tellius prequel chronicling the rise and fall of Greil
I want brash cadet Titania in my life dammit
Eli Clark
This The tactician was great.
>tfw meeting with your old pals from Lyn's story
James Hill
>no supports >no marriage system >no child units >no pair up
preordered right the fuck now
Sebastian Barnes
>The Tactician in FE7 was perfect he was garbage
Hudson Reyes
Why this boxart is so comfy?
Sebastian Richardson
good thing I never self insert, so I can enjoy games with or without waifus.
Nathan Lee
So I assume the new weapon triangle and weapon rules are dropped as far as the trailer showcased? That's actually one of the only things I really liked from Fates.
