That was a remake

So was Shadow Dragon and New Mystery of the Fire Emblem, they're both counted as 11 and 12 respectively. Furthermore, the writing was expanded upon so much it may as well be a whole new title.

So I'm kinda miffed.

So for context, a fairly critical line of dialogue got changed in the Three Houses update likely in an attempt to appease the Australian ratings board. Like, this isn't some random line either, it's one of the single most crucial lines when it comes to understanding a certain character's behavior and backstory, as well as the atrocities committed by Fódlan's nobility.

They changed Byleth and Bernadetta's B Support so that Bernie no longer mentions she was told by her father to be quiet and submissive, or that she was literally kept locked alone in isolation. It only leaves in the part about her being strapped to a chair for extended periods of time, making no mention of the solitary confinement.

That really sucks because now the entire context of why she hides away in her room and why she's as psychologically damaged as she is was basically chopped in half.

Australia's ratings board is notoriously strict on depictions of domestic abuse, but this is one of the character's most crucial supports when it comes to understanding her. Plus it's not like Fire Emblem has strayed from difficult topics in the past. Not even including the Japan-only games here, Sacred Stones had implied necrophilia and a major protagonist of Shadows of Valentia's birth is implied to have been the product of ****.

Like for real, the game's Rated T. It's not meant for young children anyway, so it shouldn't be discouraged from talking about difficult topics. Very disappointed.

Most FE fans count the remakes like Shadow Dragon being FE 11 and New Mystery being FE 12. As a result, people see Echoes as FE 15.
Click to expand...
That's not even a "FE fans see it as that"

Intelligent Systems themselves have it listed as the 15th installment and Three Houses as FE16

Fates was 14.1, 14.2 and 14.3

Can't forget about Radiant Dawn's case of Sothe marrying his adoptive mom/sister, or Raven and Priscilla's super incestuous support conversations in Rekka no Ken

And if we are including Japan only, we got literal child sacrifices, one-night stands, homewrecking, depressing mental abuse, torture, and lots of executions.

Nintendo Direct reveal for Echoes, it was called "The next installment in the Fire Emblem Franchise."

Business language for franchises like this would dictate that 'next installment' is to be treated as carrying the franchise forward. ORAS was not the 'next installment' of Pokemon for example, but LGPE was treated as a 'new mainline game.'

Honestly if Australia took this much of an issue with the Bernadetta support, a Genealogy remake is absolutely going to tone down what happened to Tailtiu.

Let's Go was a mainline installment? Weird.

Anyways, yeah. FE Three Houses is officially FE 16.

I'm more curious how they'd write around the child hunting. That ****'s dark, even for Fire Emblem.

Well it's been a good run y'all, but I think it's about time I left this thread for good. Or at least for a good while. I know it might seem sudden, but I've been thinking about doing this for a good long while now.

I just came here to have fun. I like video games, and be it in a casual or critical manner, I like talking about video games.
But often times this thread just stresses me out. We're always arguing over things like roster picks, the national dex, or passive aggressive arguments over the gender identity of fictional characters and I'm just tired of it. As a wise man once said, if it's not fun, why bother?

While I do have some "friends" here, I wouldn't describe any of them as that close. Just people I get along with. I think part of why I come here is because I went to find a certain sense of belonging within a community, but I've never truly felt it in this thread. It's no one's fault in particular for this, I'm just not that great at getting close to people.

And as I've learned from my two week-long experimental breaks in the past, I'm probably a lot better off without the thread. I just waste so much time mindlessly scrolling through the pages to catch up when I could be doing some more active activity. Time I could be spending doing chores, playing games, or doing some other hobby. I feel like a slave to my phone and computer, always having to bring this page up to see what people have said.

On the off chance anyone wants to see me again, I'll still be posting in the Competitive Character Impressions thread in the Competitive Discussion, and my PMs and profile page will be left open. I'll be using a browser extension to block this thread shortly, though.

So, adios mi amigos. I'll miss some of you but it's probably for the best.

Now to wait for season 3.

Just finished it myself and oh my god I couldn’t agree more. This show is amazing. Honestly I can’t really point to a single actually bad episode. But it’s definitely at Its best when it knows what it is and revels in it, especially during the finales.

This is legitimately ****ing terrible, it's one of the lines that made the character so well-written and more than a stereotype. It was great. Damn it.

It was a very serious topic and it was treated seriously. A shame.

As far as I'm aware, aren't FireRed/LeafGreen, HeartGold/SoulSilver, Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire, and Let's Go Pikachu/Let's Go Eevee all new installments in the mainline Pokemon games? The only games that don't count are third/fourth versions that are supposed to be upped versions, like Yellow, Emerald, Platinum, and the Ultra games.

Yes and no. The remakes and third/fourth versions are all treated as generational extensions, largely as they make new Pokemon available for the players to catch that are in that game's dex.

LGPE is straight considered the generation bridge for 7 to 8, which is a distinction from the rest.

The only non-mainline games would be things like Mystery Dungeon, Conquest and all those weird games we got at the height of Pokemania

Depends on if you like strategy RPGs and time management. I love it as it has hundreds of hours of content, a deep and fascinating world, and a cast of lovable characters. It's also VERY fun and polished.

If you like turn-based strategy games and/or well written stories and characters then it is absolutely worth it.

Doom doesn’t really do brutal stuff in the classic games.

So leaving the brutal takedowns out won’t take away the character DoomGuy is, since he’s just a badass gunslinging space marine, running up to monsters, and blasting their face with no questions asked.

Really the only thing that would be against him is realistic guns, but that could be changed.

I'm assuming you've never played the series before

Pros:
  • Memorable cast of characters
  • Multiple routes with their own story, meaning tons of replay value
  • Fairly beginner friendly on normal
  • Great soundtrack
  • Lots of creative ways to win battles
Cons:
  • The first half of the game will always make you do the same maps no matter what route, which can harm the pacing if you're wanting to do multiple routes. This is more noticeable when each route takes at least 40 hours.
  • There are a ton of factors you have to keep track of if you wanna take full advantage of what's given to you. That's not really beginner friendly, but normal mode lets you grind to make up for it. Either way, this moves onto my next point.
  • Difficulty is severely unbalanced after like Chapter 5. Game gets way too easy and mind numbing if you're the type who wants a challenge, especially on normal mode.
  • Graphically, it just doesn't look good when you compare it to other games on the Switch.

I'd honestly recommend starting with Awakening if you wanna get into the series, but many people have had Three Houses be their first FE game and have enjoyed it.
