Yeah, well, neither side's actions excuses the other's
Never meant to imply they did, haha. Just wanted to say it wasn't a one-sided issue.
Y'know, the whole "Great Fire Emblem Divide" reminds a lot of the whole "Persona vs SMT" community drama I saw in the MegaTen fanbase. It's eerie how the two fanbases are similar to each other.
On the other hand, if you get irked if an IP you don't like is compared to an IP you like because you don't want to think that this IP could possibly compare favourably to your IP, then I don't think you'll be able to mount any decent arguments or make logical points in your favor. 31fps ultimately made alts to make it seem like my arguments didn't hold water and ended up dragging both his name and his argument into the mud.
That's... quite a unique take on this actually. Not gonna lie: It's an interesting argument compared to the usual ones.
Must say I absolutely agree with everything you said there...
I can see where you're coming from there, but to me it doesn't feel so much like we're getting a massive spectrum as we are getting the same guy with a slightly different look.
). I am a human being and have never played a Fire Emblem game, incurring the same negative emotion that I had with Isabelle, except when a(n) FE character gets announced it's always surrounded by good stuff which will make me NOT tear my hair out and write an essay-long comment on the social of the character saying why everyone who voted for him/her was selfish.
Hey, at least you didn't write an article for Kotaku on why there are too many FE characters.
Well, the first problem is actually reading Kotaku.
Yes, and that's why I support Krystal.
To be fair, the Stair Fax series doesn't lend itself very well at lending material for a fighting game with most of the cast spending the whole game inside a cockpit. Considering the space opera setting, everyone having a blaster is very believable at least.
Everyone having a blaster special works. But having the same Side-B, Up-B, and Down-B? That just reeks of uncreativity.
The only reason Star Fox even got Falco and Wolf was because they were last-minute/low-priority newcomers in Melee and Brawl respectively was because they could re-use assets from Fox. Sakurai even called Wolf an "lucky inclusion" in an old interview. If it weren't for these factors, Fox would have remained the only Star Fox character for every single game.
Honestly, I think Falco is a Ganondorf situation. I think he would've gotten into Brawl easily if he wasn't in Melee.
I'm going to be controversial for a bit and disagree with you. Ganondorf is such a huge, iconic Nintendo villain that, had he missed Melee, his fan demand for Brawl would have definitely been overwhelmingly huge to the point were I'd think Sakurai would feel the need to satisfy that demand and have him as a high-priority addition. Falco's demand wouldn't probably have been as overwhelmingly big since Star Fox fans would have been split between Falco and Wolf whereas the LoZ fans would unite to support Ganondorf for Brawl. At least that's how I see it.
Yeah. I've played and enjoyed every FE title but the original NES ones (and those were both remade, so, whatever). And I've had needlessly uncomfortable conversations with both sides of the aisle. Some chide me for liking the 3DS games. Some chide me for playing the SNES games.
You’re forgetting Krystal. So, it would really be a three-way split. (And while I do support Vaati, Ganondorf definitely deserved to be in Smash before Vaati. Vaati's only the second-most important villain in the Zelda series, and Ganondorf's the one who beats him.)
You're not wrong, at all. But at the same time, I'd argue that's more of a perception thing than an absolute.
Oh no, trust me - I understand that FE fans themselves may not be happy with it. I'm a Pokemon fan, and as I say, the only unique pick not totally mandated by the Pokemon Company and their newest game since Melee was Pokemon Trainer. I mean exactly what you said, that from an outside perspective it feels like FE is getting more than most other series.
You realize that if Black Knight did get it, it would probably be as an Ike echo, right?
If having variety means losing Chrom, then **** variety.
you seem to misunderstand, I was calling lucina and chrom garbage, not echoes, echoes are wonderful, they give opportunities to many characters who otherwise wouldn't stand a chance.
Let me post a part of the interview between Peter Rosas and Gamespot when discussing Marvel vs Capcom Infinite, specifically where Rosas explains Magneto's absence:
I personally like Lucina and think she's great, and I don't mind Chrom, but there are many more FE characters that have been highly requested, ones that are unique or give their game more representation. Like Sigurd, Alm/Celica, Ephraim, Hector, Micaiah, the list goes on. I do agree that there should be more variety in games represented, but Chrom is fine, he's not really that important and I don't think he's a terrible character either. He also isn't like Marth OR Ike at all, he's his own person.
Well, at that point it sounds like your just angry cause you don't like them. Just because you don't want them doesn't mean a lot of others don't. He did specifically say that Chrom (and Dark Samus) were highly requested. Besides, Chrom is much more important than Dark Knight.
That's the thing crossovers have to balance; the casual audience is mostly in it for the characters.
having a sword and not using it?
Yeah, the weapon triangle seems over emphasized sometimes. With the exception of Heroes, it just doesn't seem that important in the actual games.
Radiant Dawn even removes it entirely in it's hardest difficulty.
