PAX Gameplay.

Valbar looks neat

What's the point? We have hardly any information about the game and no-one here has actually played Gaiden so this thread will just turn into a waifu circlejerk like every other FE thread.

Post more redesigns

...

>casualized to hell
>waifushit still there and literally on the cover
>"Le pick a side for $60 or have both for 80$$$!!!! XD" meme still there
>will probably have a bad story because of that

Why bother, this series is dead

gematsu.com/2017/03/fire-emblem-echoes-details-systems-characters

And there's more in here

we got full art for most of the cast and some new footage

OH SHIT IS THAT KATE HIGGINS!?!?

>no weapons triangle
>archers retardedly broken with 1-5 range
>tons of opportunities to grind, why bother with tactics when you can just level everyone up 10x and stomp the enemy
>shitty dungeon mode add-on "we want the dark souls audience"

if you're unironically excited for this game, you need to off yourself

This is retard tier bait holy shit. There's absolutely no indication that anything you've just said will be in the Gaiden remake.

Celica is getting married, say something nice to her!

It's as close to Gaiden as Shadow Dragon was to FE1, don't see what your problem is

The games have had female characters on the cover since FE1

it's 40$

Gaiden's story was basic as hell anyways and has been improved from what we've seen

quit yer shitposting

eat shit

>no weapons triangle
This was in the original and it's a faithful remake
>archers retardedly broken with 1-5 range
I haven't played Gaiden, the post
>tons of opportunities to grind, why bother with tactics when you can just level everyone up 10x and stomp the enemy
I know absolutely nothing about Gaiden, the post
>shitty dungeon mode add-on "we want the dark souls audience"
I don't even understand that Shadows of Valentia is a remake: the fucking post

Gaiden's challenge came from being wonky more than anything else, it won't be a game that gives you a hardcore FE experience, it's the redhaired stephchild of the series

still can't believe it's being remade

The gameplay looks pretty fun.
The critical animation is meh, again.
All the girls are cute.
Boey made my dick feel funny

Best soundtrack in the series?

can't wait to see how Camus and the Whitewings look

You know what Heroes threads have become less retarded than actual FE threads.

>the original game was shit, it's okay for the remake to be shit!

I'll be laughing my ass off when this game crashes and burns. The most lazy, uninspired cash-in you can possibly make, literally copying the old game exactly and fanboys eat it up "i-it was like it all along!"

How is it bait? Weapons not breaking is still in, you literally just posted some waifushit and everything else was confirmed from the first trailer.

billy herrington

the battle animations look good. I might not skip them for once and give this game a try once the undub releases.

>no marriage
>sausage fest

>just an open plain, no better than Awakening
>no pair up, which Fates made into an interesting and balanced mechanic
>archers are stupid broken again

>Having girls at all makes a game waifushit

90% of posts in FE threads are about how much they hate the games, it sucks

The voice acting is pretty good.

>there are actually people in this world who would rather have Nu-FE garbage than a faithful remake
Hang yourself

i want to fuck the brown shota

Its because retards keep replying to the most obvious of shitposts which doesnt solve anything or convince anyone, you're right, it just encourages more shitposting
Look at SFV threads or Dishonored threads and how quickly they turned awful

90% of FE threads these days are just people throwing shit at each other over old vs new. We should just permanently split into different threads from now on.

>elitist oldfags

Even if it is just Gaiden with not enough fixed about it, at least the presentation seems stepped up a lot from Fates. I'm really liking some of the combat animations I've seen so far.

you've never played gaiden have you

that's sort of what happened with having heroes threads separate from the main series discussion but the heroes general posters tend to spill over into main series threads, and shitposting ensues

So who is in charge for the writing? Any information?

I like playing the new games, and Heroes threads are not the place to discuss them. Not my fault oldfag elitists get mad.

8-4 is doing localization, at least it isn't fucking treehouse

>had a role in Awakening
>had a role in Fates
>has a role in Valentia
Surprising.

I don't hate Awakening or Fates, but fuck me if they didn't permanently attract the worst blend of waifufaggots on Sup Forums to FE threads

That's not what I asked for user.

I'd tell ya if i knew, writing seems all right at least, haven't heard anything too cringey so far

I did, and it was unique enough that I enjoyed it. As long as it gets balance tweaks on the really really bullshit stuff like enemy summoners, I don't see a problem. What we've seen looks easier in general anyway.

>elitist
this is literally just a kneejerk reaction to being told something you like is dogshit

If Gaiden is getting a remake with this much visual polish, I wonder what they could do with a FE4 remake on switch

probably wouldn't feel the same as the original, and the XBOXHUEG maps probably wouldn't go over well today with good reason

pretty fucking solid work
I feel like 7 and 8 would be high fucking tier if they were done today though
Imagine this with a full orchestra
youtube.com/watch?v=3o6CUC8PpWY

the only one defending dogshit is you. it boggles my mind that IS can shit out the most uninspired, lazy, tile-for-tile remake and retards like you will lap it up

There's no way Nintendo of America would ever let that shit fly anyway. The story would have to be butchered entirely unless they finally decided to take an M rating on a first party game. And agreed on the maps. I like the idea of them, considering they're literally the size of a country ingame, but they weren't enjoyable for me in practice.

FE6 would probably be a better candidate for a remake, considering Roy is popular because of Smash both in Japan and overseas. Add to that we never got it despite getting its prequel, a remake of that would probably sell much better in the west.

Not really feeling it desu.

fucking fantastic post my dude

can't wait to get it for free on freeshop

Gaiden is (somehow) worse than Nu-FE, so a faithful remake is a terrible idea.

Alm belongs to me! Have Mycen or Nomah instead!

>oldfags want more classic FE games
>pirate an accurate remake of an older game
really makes you think

I don't know how I feel about Alm's voice acting but he'll definitely be a more enjoyable protag after Cornbread

Fates has the best mechanics in the entire series, Gaiden was a shitshow. There's no point keeping all the old crappy mechanics, they removed or improved them for a reason.

Probably going to be good. Let's forget Fates ever happened.

Gaiden's issues are mostly because it was made in 1992 and was a clusterfuck of ideas, most of which aren't balanced well. There's already some apparent balance changes though, like adding a new character and making dungeon encounters smaller.

And more than anything, it's the principle of the matter. If they'd added in shit like broken pair up, an avatar, and kids, we'd know for sure IntSys really doesn't give a shit about old FE, but the fact that this game is real means there's a potential for more to follow. I want more games in the series with modern graphics and Hidari art, fuck me right?

that's arguable, pair-up was rightfully nerfed after how fucking unbalanced it was in Awakening, reclassing was slightly less stupid and personal skills were neat, but I'm not sold on shurikens and all the weapon trade-offs. I do agree that it's an improvement from Awakening and I think that Gaiden is pretty unbalanced and weird as far as FE games go, still looking forward to it mostly because of Hidari art

Looking good so far. Of course, I'll have to complain about the lack of dual-audio. I can handle the guys' voices but not those of the girls. More importantly though, in nip I don't have to listen to those lame voice lines:
>I'm on a roll!
Kill me.
Thank god for undubs.

>Obviously scrapped Atelier design Hidari wanted to recycle is already best girl
CAN'T MAKE THIS SHIT UP

And?

i think the plot of awakening and fates is shit tier and it s a thing i value a lot in games.

never played other fire emblems, should i get valentia?

what s the best FE plot wise?

Most FE is really basic storywise. Tellius games have great worldbuilding and a more layered story though, really engaging.

Genealogy of the Holy war (FE4) is the standout in that regard, Path of Radiance is not bad

Gaiden had a really limited Famicom-era story, so we shall see how SoV's story is expanded upon

it's a remake of an NES game, so the plot itself is gonna be barebones as fuck and probably not do it for you, but it looks like they've done a lot to flesh out the characters, and I've got a good feeling about that. I think most agree that the best plot in the series as a whole is from the Tellius duology, Path of Radiance on Gamecube and its sequel Radiant Dawn on Wii.

Gameplay wise Shadows of Valentia is a remake of the black sheep of the series, and I found a lot of its quirks to be fun because I had the rest of the series to compare it to. I don't know if you'd enjoy it, but you can always freeshop it if you end up not liking it.

new L O R E on the main .jp page

Approximately 3000 years before the story

At the land of Valentia, the sibling gods Duma and Mila went to war. At the end of an arduous battle, Duma and Mila divided Valentia into two, the north ruled by Duma and the south ruled by Mila, with the two declaring to never invade the other. This was the covenant of the gods.

Year 1: A sage with knowledge of the celestial bodies’ motions introduced the notion of a calendar system to Mila, who acknowledged it. This year was chosen as the first year of the Valentia Calendar.

Year 189: The Rigelian Empire was established in the northern region ruled by Duma and the Kingdom of Zofia was built on the southern lands ruled by Mila.

Year 374: The young Rudolf was appointed as the successor of the Rigelian Empire’s Emperor Rigel III. He ascended as Emperor Rudolf I.

Year 384: King Lima III of Zofia perished. Although his eldest son Lima IV was crowned, he had little interest in politics and the villainous Dozer secured the position of Chancellor.

Year 398: Poor harvests caused the food-stocks of the Rigelian Empire to run dry. Rigel’s request for assistance from Zofia were met with rejection. Rudolf I himself led the troops to invade Zofia. Rigel and Zofia entered all-out war.

Year 399: The inexperienced Zofian army were repeatedly defeated by the overwhelming Rigelian forces and Rigel steadily crept into Zofian territory. Desaix managed to contact the upper echelon of the Rigelian Army and negotiated a cease-fire in exchange for a large compensatory sum of gold. The Rigelian Army remained garrisoned in Northern Zofia and tensions continued to grow.

Year 400: Desaix triggered a coup d’etat, and the Zofian royal family including Lima IV were assassinated one after the other. The Deliverance was established by the Zofian nobility who opposed Desaix, with Clive as its leader.

thx anons, will try path of radiance and FE 4 before valentia.

Of the English released games, Path of Radiance and Radiant Dawn are the only stories that aren't extremely simplistic.

Shadow Dragon (remake of FE1) had a simple story, and Shadows of Valentia (remake of FE2) is probably going to follow in its path.

All are worth it for the gameplay though.

And this is just my opinion, but even if there wasn't much of it, I really liked the writing in Shadow Dragon. Finding hidden conversations between characters was nice.

All of the guys look great.

All of the girls have the same generic face though.

>is still in
>still
Have you never played Gaiden
Who am I kidding, of course you haven't

Is there a special edition for US?

some new character/story info is here

serenesforest.net/2017/03/15/echoes-japanese-official-website-revamped/#more-36827

>Archers are broken in Gaiden
It's obvious that anyone who says this never actually played the game.

? What?

Unfortunately no, which is a goddamned shame because I'd kill for an artbook of the game. Maybe if we're lucky they'll release one separately and I can just import it from Amazon JP.

It's known that Hidari focuses on drawing males, as s/he isn't very good at drawing females.

...

please do explain then, wise gaijin goobma.

GBA-style supports appear to be in, thoughts?

Yup, must be nice to be a literal fag this time around. That said her girls are still qt as fug.

The only people excited for this are atelier shit eaters for the art and faggots that hate anything new in FE blissfully unaware of how terrible of a game gaiden is.

None of the FE games have good stories, possibly outside Thracia or Genealogy. You may like 8 too.

Stay the hell away from 7 and RD though, they gives Conquest a run for its money for terrible stories.

What is the name of the artist and why he/she can't be in charge or next FE character design? I really really like those fully clothed armors.

For a large portion of the game they have a base accuracy of 70% and they only get +1 hit per point of skill. Combine that with their slow speed and they're only going for killing mages and chip damage.

There's really broken bow later on but Alm makes better use of it.

Maybe not as good at drawing males, but to say he isn't very good at drawing females is a bit of a stretch.

Game needs supports to flesh out the characters. I'm all for it, and it'll probably mean better balance. And that's something I think we can all agree Gaiden needs.

FE4,5 have the best stories.

Well to be fair all of the females shown so far are fairly young, with Celica and Mae being the oldest. Not sure how some of the older girls will look but if Atelier is any indication Hidari can't really draw more than one female. That's the issue with Hidari.

Artist is named Hidari. He did the art for the Dusk trilogy of Atelier games. I'm hoping they'll remake more FE games and bring him back, because I love his style.

interested to see how the Whitewings look in HIdari's style

...

I imagine Est will look the same as the rest since she's the youngest and has pink hair. Not so sure about Catria and Palla since they are a bit older and have hair colors that aren't some variation of red or brown.

Don't expect any of the females to have big breasts though, since Hidari doesn't really draw breasts.

Why did they have to change the fucking artstyle for this game? Last one was great.

that is true, i do admit.

i always found it best to make Robin/Tobin an Archer since Skill is his only good stat.

>Hidari doesn't really draw breasts
Excuse me?

And by last one I'm talking about post awakening artstyle. Not the original artstyle of Shadows of Valentia.

>Not sure how some of the older girls will look but if Atelier is any indication Hidari can't really draw more than one female

He can't draw older women for shit.

Aside from much of the older fanbase hating Kozaki, FE has always changed artists. I wouldn't be surprised if FE Switch has yet another artist.

He actually does well as a Cavalier as well.
