Upcoming Fire Emblem titles
« on: February 01, 2017, 11:10:19 pm »
So Nintendo has 4 Fire Emblem games announced, Fire Emblem Heroes has JUST released (Based on time zones it's a matter of hours) yet a thread didn't pop up for that Nintendo direct.  I know we have FE fans here (Username rhymes with 'bored rude').  Does anyone mind if I leave this here? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4XSCmoAZM2E

Save some time if you wish, here's a summary of my own thoughts:

I'm concerned for Heroes, I trust it will still be a good game, but I'm dreading whether the F2P model will impact the series or even other Nintendo smart device games. 

I suppose FE Switch is pretty far off, but  I'm hopeful for a graphical overhaul since Radiant Dawn. 

I would like to see more of Warriors eventually since I felt a bit deprived of coverage for that.  Announcing a 3DS version this early was... odd, did Hyrule Warriors Legends sell that well?

Echoes is what I'm interested in, that looks like it'll be a nice change of pace, those fight sequences look far more sophisticated now.

As someone who has dabbled in the series a bit, I can say I'm really most excited for Fire Emblem Warriors. I'm not a big fan of the 3DS titles but really enjoy the GBA titles (Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade being my favorite!) the best. Sure the other upcoming games seem all right but they just seem like more of the same really.
Like I said though, Fire Emblem Warriors looks great.

Just finished Birthright and I am playing through Conquest right meow. I loved Path of Radiance and Awakening.

I CANNOT WAIT FOR FIRE EMBLEM WARRIORS. I played the everloving shit out of Hyrule Warriors.

Fire Emblem Echoes is awesome! I can't wait to get my hands on that either.

Fire Emblem Heroes? I can game on my phone? No physical media though? Oh.

Fire Emblem Heroes is okay.  Simple, but good for casual play.

I don't really like Heroes.
I sure hope they don't "modernize" Gaiden in that they implement waifu into Echoes. That would make me ... disappointed, more than anything.  It better not be a New 3DS exclusive, because then I couldn't play it. :(
Wow. I don't think I've ever seen anyone call FE6 their favorite, but hey, opinions are opinions. Fav for sure is Genealogy of the Holy War. I don't plan on getting a Switch any time soon, but plans can change... I am curious about FE Switch, but I assume it'll be like fates/awakening because that's what sells.

My phone is too old to play FE Heroes properly. It freezes shortly after it starts whenever I try to play it. :'( Not a big loss, but still kinda annoying.

Super hyped for all the new games though! Nice to see Echoes won't have the same art style as Awakening and Fates.

FE Warriors looks awesome.

I'm most excited for Fire Emblem on the Switch. It's been far too many years since a proper console Fire Emblem entry.
