On a serious note, is anyone thinking of sending an online petition to IS?

 

[Bowserlick]

Ghosts seem to have the monopoly on moves with the name shadow. Dark type did seem to concentrate on being underhanded and sneaky.

I say Pokemon should have the type poison evolve to Radioactive Type which would be effective against Grass, Water, and Fighting.

 

[Big-Cat]

I hope to God IS looks at FE13 and says "Hey, they really like our changes to the battle system." Rather than "Fan service is great!"

Everyone. Boycott bonds DLC. please.

and now you don't have to

pretty obscure.

Nothing wrong with a little fanservice. But yeah, I'd really want IS to keep the quality of their gameplay up. I didn't expect to enjoy Awakening so much.

I went to see pictures of Tharja and the amount of fanservice that comes out of her game is just... wow, Intelligent System is overdoing this (especially the Beach DLC).

Its stuff like that I have little hope for the next FE game. Its very creepy that IS now actively catering to the otaku market.

What about the gameplay? What were your thoughts on it?

As someone who's pretty much a newbie to Fire Emblem, I absolutely love it.

Just to get up to speed. Are you talking about petitioning for P v P matches in Fire Emblem?

As someone who's pretty much a newbie to Fire Emblem, I absolutely love it.

I really should get into the Fire Emblem franchise eventually. I plan on starting out with the Super Famicom titles (FE3 and FE4) and working my way with other titles. I may get FE13, but not anytime soon.

Thought this was a Smash thread. Also FE13 was good as a whole, so meh.

Not worried about FE14, Priam will be in a leading role, so it's all good.

 

[FlareHabanero]

Thought this was a Smash thread.

Wait, this is a Smash thread?

 

[Diddy Kong]

How is Priam like in FE13 though?

 

[Gingerbread Man]

How is Priam like in FE13 though?

Hes an endgame streetpass bonus chapter character. Not part of the main story really.

 

[Robert of Normandy]

How is Priam like in FE13 though?

He's a lv20 prepromoted Hero with Axe/Sword/Lancebreaker and Luna and Sol. Haven't used him myself, so I can't speak for how good he is.

 

[lobotheduck21]

Well, you guys could always play FFTA

 

[Smooth Criminal]

Oh, God. Please no.

[Moon Monkey]

Idk if anyone one saw this but:
How likely do you guys see 1v1 online/local matches in Fire Emblem happening?

 

[lobotheduck21]

Liking my post but saying no to it

 

[FlareHabanero]

Sounds stupid considering the game isn't built around for something like that. While for a fighting game it works, for a tactical role playing game it's simply dumb.

 

[Smooth Criminal]

FFTA is awful, awful, AWFUL, especially in comparison to FE. I liked your post because I saw irony in it and found that amusing.

Which one did you play

They had something like that in shadow dragon.

Personally I think if IS took the time to play around with new ideas in muliplayer something good could arise.

 

[Moon Monkey]

So taking turns in a chess like manner against opponents with their units sounds stupid??
Idk bruh, I'm going to have to disagree. The game is already set up in a turn-based manner which is perfect for 1v1 play. At that point it would be testing players tactical abilities against real people instead of AI. I mean it has been done before on Pokemon. Care to explain how it is stupid?

 

[FlareHabanero]

Except one unit vs. one unit? Seriously? At least use six or something.

 

[lobotheduck21]

He means one player vs one player, not one unit vs one unit

 

[Moon Monkey]

When I said 1v1, I meant 1 player and his team (players could specify the army squad) versus another player and his team. Sorry I thought that was clear. My bad.

They had something like that in shadow dragon.

I honestly thought this feature was going to be in Awakening, but it turns out all the interaction was handled through spot pass. But yeah i agree it does have potential.

Because you can tell that Fire Emblem was designed as a single player game. The upgradable weapons, class switching, Donnel, etc. tell you that it was never meant to be multiplayer.

 

[Gingerbread Man]

I think in order for a FE multiplayer to work they should have a player outfitted with the typical enemy army (adjusted to match stat-wise) and the other player outfitted with their single player army. Have an objective like defend the throne or all units must survive.

I think it would be fun being able to dispose of the red units so easily in order to win.

Edit: This map on fog of war would be excellent for defend the throne.

To fix problems like these players:
A) Can be given generic soldier classes to choose from in their army, and not the iconic characters from the main story.
B) Match making system can be implemented so that players can play against other players whose army is around his/her army's level.

Upgrading and class switching then wouldn't be an issue. I mean when compared to a game like Pokemon, Eevee having the ability to branch off into multiple types doesn't break the game, So i don't see how class switching would either.

 

[Big-Cat]

That just sounds incredibly boring.

 

[Robert of Normandy]

That just sounds incredibly boring.

Agreed. I can't imagine any FE multiplayer being any fun at all.

 

[Moon Monkey]

Well that's all personal, some people might find it refreshing to play against real people, and some are content with just the single player.

 

[Big-Cat]

Some games just aren't going to adapt as multiplayer.

No way!!!!
I loved FFTA, it was one of my favorite childhood games.
Also in a rather embarrasssing story, I once owned a copy of FFTA2. I brought it with me on a trip to Cuba, and left it there.
I sure hope that whoever found it finished my file for me; I was on the last boss.

 

[Moon Monkey]

Fire Emblem's structure is very similar to Pokemon in the sense that player A make his/her move player B makes his/her move. Rinse&Repeat until one is defeated.

If you find that structure boring to you, then that leads me to assume that you don't find Pokemon's multilayer compelling either; and that game's multilayer works just fine and it has a very active online scene. So I can see the potential, it just may turn out that it's not a mode that appeals you. Nothing wrong with that.But don't just dismiss something just because you can't see the potential.

 

[lobotheduck21]

@colder I like the fact the range guys actually have range, whereas in fire emblem it seams as if they can only shoot ten feet away, (my only complaint about fire emblem)

 

[Swamp Sensei]

Keep FE as a single player game.

About FE13's fanservice... I wasn't too worried until I saw this...

Spoiler

This is when we start to worry.... At least they only did this for one character (who was obviously sexualized from the start) as far as I'm aware. If IS starts doing this for other characters, then I will REALLY start worrying as it signifies that the whole series is turning into an ecchi waifu fest.

Also I missed the Mulan singalong... I am heartbroken....

 

[Fastblade5035]

And the thread returns to Fire Emblem once more.

Personally, I love the mechanics introduced in Awakening. I think a multiplayer could work; but I don't support it. If anything, Pokemon and Metroid should have multiplayer.
As for reps, Marth, Ike, Chrom/Lucina for me.

 

[N3ON]

You should now by now this is the real FE thread. It's just in disguise.

Luckily we're on topic quite often.

 

[peeup]

Dude whatever FE game had Lyn Hector and Eliwood had multiplayer and it was actually hella fun.

Wait....

FE already had multiplayer?

Why are we talking about this again?

 

[Fastblade5035]

Cause Fire Emblem is our master. He forbids us from discussing anything else, especially anything on topic.
