Fire Emblem: The Discussion Thread (keep FE Fates story under spoilertags)

[OmegaXXII]

The handheld games (at least, the GBA games, FE6-8) have a very different style of animation from the console games. They have sprite based animations that are much more...well, animated than the console games, which have comparatively much more realistic animations. From my experience, most people (myself included) seem to find the GBA animations more pleasing, which I think makes the game seem faster. I can't really comment on game speed in terms of menus and unit movement though; I haven't played either of the console games in quite a while.

Hmm..I see, I'm guessing that the animations are smoother and faster since there isn't any transitioning between screens while playing? I guess that sounds plausauble, hopefully FE13 will do the same, and yeah, it will be cool to actually have a second screen showing stats and such while simuteneously battling an army.

Still waiting for FE13.. (is it still called that?) but gonna wait incase they pull a dumb DLC money sink

DLC on that game? I hope not, I just hope some kind of online is implemented, y'know, like battling each others armies and such, just like Disgaea does.

 

[KrIsP!]

People play with animations enabled on the console games?

Jeez, talk about tripling the game's length.

for serial, I turn them off after the first little while of playing, like to keep them on to get a sense of what they look like.

I'm hoping that the next console game simply has to pan the camera closer to the characters and show them attack rather than go into a completely different screen and resolution to slowly show one character walking attack, doing damage, then the other, the exp.

Game was announced to br the first game ln the 3ds to have dlc

For multiplayer i think they should have objective maps where you a defend/siege map where the one sieging gets 3-5 more units, and a domination type of map where there are like 3 forts and the objective is to either capture all 3 or wipe the enemy. (if both sides go down to 2 units each, its a draw)

 

[jamlosingthegame]

Only animation I keep on PoR is on Ike because of Aether. RD does a better way of handling the fights with each unit having up to three different ways of attacking and choosing one randomly.

 

[Ussi]

Lets not forget that in RD the music carries off where it left of.

 

[~Firefly~]

A new trailer for the upcoming FE game is up: (Fire Emblem: Awakening)

There's also a wealth of information up on Serenes Forest. (click) The game is due out in Japan on the 19th of April, but no North American release has been confirmed, despite the fact that it has been confirmed for release in Europe. (TBA 2012) I really hope we don't get left out on this one.

 

[KrIsP!]

Operation FireFall. This looked sick and would definitely be a reason for m to buy a 3DS. I'm not really interested in remakes or Kid Icarus right now but this...I need it.

 

[Pink Reaper]

Whooooo im playing through FE7 again(just finished hard mode playthrough of FE 8 on my 3DS) only im too much of a ***** to do Hector Hard Mode.

Help me out SWF, is there a good way to kill kishuna on Ch 19x without relying on crits? Cus i had to literally redo the stage 3 times just to have the RNG gods decide they'd be nice enough to let me kill him #11

 

[Ussi]

I never bother trying kishuna on HHM.. In other modes then just use promoted units with silver/killer weapons.

In HHM i had to promote Guy just to kill the snipers since Florina wasn't strong enough to do it alone. (and i RNG abused her str to 11 in Lyn's route)

If the new FE doesn't come out in America i'm probably gonna be going down an evil path...

 

[camerino1]

...It wouldn't be a smart business path for them to follow... neither was not sending us New Mystery... but they didn't, so it's up in the air and a little disappointing...

 

[Ussi]

Just means i get the game for free now... like what Americans did with Xenoblade

 

[jamlosingthegame]

So I'm reading the speculation stuff on Awakening. What are everyone's thoughts on this? Also, sometime last week I asked my friends what kind of unit they'd like to be in FE. I said someone who used swords and magic. IS must be reading my mind because that's what My Unit is in Awakening.

 

[~Firefly~]

The "Masked Man = Marth" thing kind of reminds me of the early days from the first FE10 trailers, where everyone seemed to be convinced that Micaiah was Ilyana. There do seem to be a lot of strong parallels, but I'm not going to look into it too much; I'd rather wait to play the game myself and let everything unravel from there.

 

[Ussi]

if its true, hype, if it isn't, hype.

 

[Rutger]

http://www.siliconera.com/2012/03/13/marth-returns-for-3ds-fire-emblem/

Old news? I don't know. Apparently confirming the masked guy as Marth and that other FE characters will show up as DLC.

No matter, I'm starting to miss being able to get FE games that I play for more than a couple chapters, this one looks better than Shadow Dragon, even if I'm a little disappointed that you can revisit old maps for exp.

Please Nintendo.

 

[KrIsP!]

Masked man for sm4s---owait.

 

[Ussi]

Masked Man for an alternate costume!

Revisiting maps better be turned off in hard mode.

 

[Baskerville]

A few gifs I made from the newest trailer.

 

[OmegaXXII]

Masked Man what?............


Seriously, someone please enlighten me on FE news, I missed so since then announcement of "Chrome"

 

[Ussi]

Apparently the masked man is Marth.

Oh and i heard there is a battle cleric class that uses axes. If that means what i think, i'ma like the heroine cleric.

 

[MuraRengan]

Oh, glad I found this thread.

 

[jamlosingthegame]

Not yet confirmed that he is Marth, just someone who says he is and looks like him. Looks too similar to not be Marth though.

Looking at the overview trailer again, I think I saw an arena on the world map. I also see Krom on a pegasus or something.

I get my news from http://serenesforest.net/

 

[Ussi]

Release dates: 19th April 2012 (Japan), 2012 (Europe)

uiergherulgheruilghrleuih I HATE YOU NINTENDO Y NO NA RELEASE? I don't want to go down the dark road

From the information section, what i'm happy about:

-Anima magic is 1 type of magic again (i hate thunder, wind, fire being seperate)
-Branched promotions
-Lunatic difficulty
-Skills still in
-My unit
-Longer support conversations seem to be coming back

Clerics, such as Liz, can promote to the axe-wielding Battle Cleric

Liz is my favorite unit. I FINALLY HAVE MY LOLI WITH AN AXE <3

 

[MuraRengan]

I want to say this while sounding as little like an ignorant american as possible, but in the event that this game isn't releases in the US, what're the chances of there being a french EU translation? I'm assuming high. If I can only get my hands on a french version (and if there's no compatibility issues) I think I know enough french to understand what's going on.

 

[Ussi]

Why french? Just get English from UK

pretty sure 3DS games are region locked however, given how Pokemon went.. (people couldn't import it, they had to use a japanese rom and english patch it)

 

[Lord Viper]

If Europe is getting Fire Emblem Awaking, I'm sure the US will to, just don't know when. )= ★

My guess is a few months after Europe, assuming NoA doesn't pull away a very desired game for 3DS. ★

 

[Ussi]

Took a lot of work to just get Xenoblade and last story here :/

 

[KuroganeHammer]

Worst comes to worst, you can just import a EU 3DS.

 

[Ussi]

There are worse and cheaper ways

 

[KrIsP!]

Took a lot of work to just get Xenoblade and last story here :/

Dammit Nintendo, why won't you take my money?

 

[camerino1]

I know, this game looks good. I'm more than willing to let them take my money, for sure. I think that they should send it our way

 

[Raziek]

-Branched promotions
-Longer support conversations seem to be coming back

This pretty much sums up how I feel right now.

 

[~Firefly~]

Heh, same here, Raz. Especially the support conversations. I was so salty when Radiant Dawn ditched them. =/

 

[Ussi]

Don't get me wrong, radiant dawn had an excellent support system gameplay wise because you could pair anyone together. Just story wise it sucked so hard that you tended to ignore characters more easily since you didn't learn about them.

 

[jamlosingthegame]

Updated information and maybe some more later. It seems you can endlessly level up characters by changing classes using a Change Seal. We also now have offensive magic wielding Dark Pegasus and the Taguel transform into rabbits (so that's the transforming thing from the previews and trailers).

 

[camerino1]

I don't know that I like all of the new units, to be honest. I liked the old ones... now I feel like they may be branching out too much. I want barbar back though, and merc. I hope that they don't kill off any unit types.

dark magic on a pegasus, i'm sold (sounds terrible, but damn those are my two favorite classes)

 

[Elyssa Xey Hexen]

We also now have offensive magic wielding Dark Pegasus

If only rumors were true

 

[jamlosingthegame]

I think you're misunderstanding something here Ussi. It seems magic is all one weapon level like in Shadow Dragon.

If only rumors were true

I get my information from Serenes Forest and I think they're reliable.

I want barbar back though, and merc. I hope that they don't kill off any unit types.

I missed the mercenary too, but they couldn't do that for PoR. Because of branched promotions, we still get heroes via fighters.

 

[kirbyraeg]

Anybody interested in fe4/fe5?

Loved those games, even more than the english FEs.

also glad I finally found an FE thread.
