The characters you assume weren’t requested still had people who wanted them (minus Plant)/liked to see them get in, and I hope you don’t think Sakurai and Nintendo should adhere to what the fanbase wants 100%; no good artists or game developers do that, not even the Minecraft team (who listens to fans and their suggestions a lot) does that.
And who exactly is telling you this? Not saying youre wrong or anything, but why exactly should I believe you?
I’ll PM more about it.
Whatever people believe, everybody is now in the "soon" boat so it's just as well. Based on my own experiences in the past 14 months, people usually don't get to this point of strong agreement unless it really is super soon. The Fall Direct was like this last year with people saying "yep, it's happening soon" the Saturday before and the February Direct last year was pretty much the same. Outside of E3, Directs are very rarely known super far out. You could probably even go through my post history to find plenty of examples of this where I talk about surges in confidence literally days before the Directs are confirmed.
Read my posts from earlier in the thread.
I don't really ****in' care at this point. I'm just noting what I've experienced in the past. If the Direct is next week or later, it's just weird that people are in strong agreement about it now. That almost never happens because nobody wants to be the first and wind up being wrong because "muh e-cred." People dogpile when it's "safe" so if the evidence is already that strong, so be it but people tend to be wishy washy on this **** until the 11th hour if they can.
Pretty sure Zippo isn't an insider. Quite a few Resetera users were laughing at the thread for making that claim. That, and we'll have to wait and see for ourselves going into February. That, and with the rumored Super Nintendo dump, I can't help but wonder if that's how Geno would be tied in for his reveal.
...no. He's definitely an insider. Guy was one of the few people to clearly know about Byleth ahead of the reveal. He even asked a question about the Fire Emblem series specifically on the topic of the 5th character the day before it was announced.
I already know.
I would trust Ness on this one. Either way, theres clearly a durect happenning soon and saying there isn't a direct at the end of the month is a "no ****" kind of claim since they literally never have.
He hinted at Byleth right before he got revealed.
I would like to believe that, but may I ask for some evidence or proof?
The whole “character is related, not related to Nintendo” thing. Then he went back and even said that the character was even less related to Nintendo after his first claim.
And where was this? Do you have a link?
From he who must not be named’s Twitter:
Oh, that. Not that I doubt you, for I don’t, but you wouldn’t have anymore evidence for your claim, would you?
I don’t necessarily believe him. Would it matter to me, though, because I am already pretty much prepared for expecting the Direct next week instead of this one?
Yeah, that’s totally fine. I’m just not believing this guy until he says something worth noting.
Who did he think it was?
A character who was relevant with or without Nintendo and was only sorta related to Nintendo like Bayo.
By “relevant with or without Nintendo”, I am guessing that means a third party, non-Nintendo character?
The whole not knowing FE was owned by Nintendo shtick seems like an insane backtrack to make your wrong predictions seem right because somehow they didn't know lol.
From what we know, Pass 2 was probably decided around December 2018, greenlit around E3 2019, and finalized January 2020. This makes sense when you consider negotiations are part of the process and those can take months by themselves.
Curious. During Byelth's presentation, Sakurai stated that the video was recorded in November. Wouldn't be more accurate to say that Pass 2 was finalized during that time? Or are we assuming Sakurai scheduled to have the Pass finalized when Byleth was revealed?
Maybe. To breakdown what people like ForsakenM have theorized:
And to build off of this with regards to Geno...
To add onto this, it weirdly fits if we keep this assumption.
It’s pretty clear that we’ll get three per year, but I disagree with your assertion that we’ll only see one per E3. I think our hype levels will remain for the six months between E3 and the supposed Jan 2021 character reveal, provided the two E3 reveals generate enough hype.
