"Fire Emblem Warriors will only have characters from Shadow Dragon, Awakening and Fates. This is to avoid too many characters with swords"
AAAAAAAAND MY INTEREST IN THE GAME ****IN DROPPED
THE LITERAL FIRST TRAILER HINTED AT 5 DIFFERENT SWORDIES
SO MANY UNIQUE CHARACTERS THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN GREAT GONE
I AM NOT HAPPY IN THE SLIGHTEST
Yeah, that's. . .not a sane excuse.
The right route would have been to quietly avoid the issue and then dump the other popular eras in as DLC Hyrule Warriors style. That game went for only three settings too and they dumped in a bunch more later.
Like, those happen to be the three games I've actually played and the characters from other games that people beg for would have fallen completely flat on me, but the excuse is still a bit insane.
They BETTER have a bunch of good non-sword users if that's what they're peddling. They already blew it a bit in my eyes by adding not one but two sword wielding OCs that are so incredibly generic looking that they make Marth and Chrom look unique by comparison. Who knows, maybe that's what they were going for, but that's still awful character design.
