I'm assuming so.
That screen is a screen to show again the White Herons, along with Rafiel. Ike will most likely appear as the hero of the last war, but in a secretly fashion, near the end of the game.
I just had to fix if for you.
Where was he confirmed a lord
Somebody's never played PoR, or hates good units.
Ike is in the new one, but the main lords as far as I know are Sothe, Mikaya and Elincia.
I forgot to mention that... It is a very interesting theory and may very well turn out to be an interesting plot twist in Goddess of Dawn.
Nephenee is most certainly NOT a worthless character - she's one of my top 5 units, along with Ike (a given), Boyd, Rolf, and Jill...
Looks like I'm not alone on that one... How did one of the crappiest units in Path of Radiance get to be one of the lead characters in the next installment?!
Exactl1 If anyoneshould be replaced it'sRoy,since the main reason he was put in was toadvertise the latest Fire Emblem game at that time.
Agreed.
Actually, the series really didn't really seem to catch on over here until The Sacred Stones in regard to total sales (367,000), and didn't really gain much media attention until Path of Radiance. PoR only sold 244,250 units, but considering vast difference between the number of those who own Gamecubes and GBAs, it was proportionally more successful. I can't seem to find the statistics for the total sales of Fire Emblem (FE7), but I do believe it was somewhere around 150,000. But at any rate, I'm a bit tired of fans blowing the impact of FE7 out of proportion all the time. Sure it was OUR first title, but it was little more than than that. And don't forget, if not for Marth AND Roy's inclusion in SSBM, Fire Emblem would likely be a Japan exclusive to this very day - so we really owe it to those two, not Lyn and the gang, for having Fire Emblem available to Western audiences. Also, there is an excellent fan-translation of FE6 available on the internet (the only unlocalized entry in the series to have a complete English translation so far, as FE4 is still incomplete), so it's not like its beyond our reach like the other currently Japan exclusive titles.
you know, the only reason he wasin Melee was to advertise the latest Fire Emblem game at the time.
How many times am going to have to bring this up? He was included not only to promote his own game, but to generate interest in the series again as it was on the verge of demise following the overall failure of Thracia 776 and the lead designer leaving IS to develop Tear Ring Saga for the Playstation. Understand people? The series came fairly close to EXTINCTION, as was the case with another classic SRPG series Ogre Battle. Fire Emblem: Sword of Seals marked the return of the legend. People just assume that due to the fact he was featured in SSBM prior to his game's release he was simply an advertisement - a classic example of mere assumption being passed off as "fact"...
It;'s ironic actually, marth's more popular then Roy in japan 9I think0, yet Roy seems WAY cooler then Mrth here in America. Do youthink it's because Roy's more powerful?
