A while back I sarcastically said Rottytops was dense. I think Dllybird is mad at me now...?
I tried apologizing, but no luck. You guys have probably known him for longer than I have, so...any help?

I'll make sure to DM him, if that helps.

 

[Guh-Huzzah!]

I'll make sure to DM him, if that helps.

I'd like that. Thanks.

FEH is currently on fire with almost every new banner being stuffed with powercreep and another alt for Camilla. Three Houses promotion won't go down too well.

Oh put Edelgard in a bathing suit and they'll eat it up.

But how can your argument be efficient without, y'know, an argument

Both Shadow Dragon and Awakening's writing is subpar IMO, but that's an issue that Fire Emblem has suffered with for years. The cast of characters also don't particularitly sit with me. In Shadow Dragon's case, the cast is too dull and almost lifeless outside of Marth, and in Awakening's case it fell like a lot of the characters felt one-dimensional. I thought this feeling would wear off after I read a few more support convos, but it never did.

As for gameplay, Shadow Dragon is fine, but Awakening's gameplay gets too repetitive way too quickly, what with the entire game having only two objectives. I also don't like the Reclassing mechanic. To me, it takes away the improtance of a unit's value when you can just simply replace them, and such a mechanic would be better in a series like XCOM where it doesn't put anywhere near the emphisis on characters like FE does, and the novelty wore off really quickly.

Awakening is generally accepted into the fandom at least from the fact that it single-handedly saved Fire Emblem from death and made it a household name for Nintendo and despite being unbalanced, people generally like the game as a whole, but they aren't afraid to criticize the game (Awakening is one of my favorite games of all time).

I understand it saved it from near death, but I'm not sure if I really like the idea of the direction the series might go in if Awakening and Fates are anything to be indicitive of.

All this is making me want to do is go back to drawing.

Last project I had was Inkling in the Kirby artstyle.

I know right? I'm getting huge character design energy.

 

[Deleted member]

Man, I wish I could draw worth for something.

 

[RWyvern]

I know right? I'm getting huge character design energy.

I’ve been designing a lot over the past few days and today was suppose to be my day off. Doesn’t look like it any more.

 

[Wademan94]

I'd like that. Thanks.

Dylly’s dealing with something else right now, He DMed me before work but hasn’t gotten back with me since, I can assure you he’s not mad at you though.

 

[Guh-Huzzah!]

So, I just redeemed the points in My Nintendo Rewards program. That's how I get , right? Just wanna check that I did it right.

Nice to know he isn't upset. I hope things go well. He said he took it personally...hope I didn't insult him.

I only spent a minute. Neat. Still don't enjoy worrying about others.

 

[staindgrey]

I mean. There's this game called FE Echoes: Shadows of Valentia that holds very little in common with either Awakening or Fates that released almost two years ago.

Glad I dropped Fire Emblem Heroes then. In addition to desgin choices I don't like, the game keeps reprinting characters and crippling the balance. I sometimes wonder why someone would keep playing it, but whatever.

Or if anything, the mega Fateswakening push from IS on the mobile game.

like jesus thats a lot of camilla

I’ll keep an eye out for him.

It’s mostly because of all the Fates banners we’ve been getting (Awakening too, but to a much lesser degree).

And I legitimately like ALL of the Fates royals as characters...

But this is getting really annoying.

 

[Pakky]

I mean is it serious? Or does work/school just have him a little down?

 

[KMDP]

Man, I wish I could draw worth for something.

Well, if you want to be able to draw, the only thing to do is to just start doing it.

In the words of Arin Hanson: "Do you think I came out of the ***** drawing Mozart [sic]!?"

 

[Deleted member]

I don't think Echoes is going to have anywhere near the influence on Three Houses and future games that Awkaning and Fates will.

Or if anything, the mega Fateswakening push from IS on the mobile game.

Next banner will have Armor Knight Camilla, Mage Camilla, Dance Camilla, and Beast Camillia.

Originally I was just gonna pay for PP because I was too lazy to redeem him, and it helps Sakurai and the crew...
Then I realized how easy it was.

You didn't like Shadow Dragon's writing? The story itself is simple, considering it's a remake of an NES game, but the actual writing I thought was really, really good. That and the game definitely had a few stand out characters. Shadow Dragon's biggest issue came from the lack of support conversations, in an attempt to stay more true to the original, but certain characters really suffered from this. Instead, they opted to more fully flesh out a choice few characters, but those characters I'd easily say are among my favorites in the entire series. In addition to Marth, who you mentioned, Caeda, Merric, and Minerva get tons of development due to the fact that they get a lot more conversations than most other characters in the game. I also like that Shadow Dragon made Cain an actual character instead of making him Red Cavalier #1.

New Mystery of the Emblem also helped flesh out a lot of the other characters, but as a game I tend to prefer Shadow Dragon over it. Both are great though.

Certain characters in Awakening are certainly one-dimensional (Kellam pretty much exists solely for his joke, for example), but quite a few of the characters this gets directed toward definitely don't deserve it. In particular a lot of the first generation units have a lot more depth to them than some give them credit for. Outside of the main trio, Frederick, Virion, Lissa, Sully, Stahl, Sumia, Olivia, Lon'qu, Libra, Gregor, Maribelle, Cordelia, Donnel, Panne, and Gaius all have quite a bit going on beneath the surface that I feel many people don't give them credit for, off the top of my head. I'd even go as far as to say that Tharja's Robin supports are some of her only bad ones, and that when she's not in her "obsessing over Robin" mode, she's actually a decently interesting character.

I don't think Echoes is going to have anywhere near the influence on Three Houses and future games that Awkaning and Fates will.

Echoes is already shown to have had at least some influence on it. The free-roaming, the Combat Arts, and the cutscene animation style are all from Shadows of Valentia.

You're right. Cleary we need more Tharja. /s

i dont mind the fates banners because i like fates..... But camilla does not need to be in half of them

 

[Noipoi]

No drop the /s that's a good idea.

 

[staindgrey]

Oh ****.

I just realized Edelgard is going to be voiced by Christina Vee. I love Christina Vee.

I hope there's full voice acting in this game like in Echoes. She's fantastic.

 

[Saetanigera]

Y'know, an elephant fighter could work actually. Assuming they made a huge grass mammoth starter like I said before, it could work in Smash despite being quadrupedal.

Grabs? Use it's Trunk. Items? Once again, the trunk. It could be used for jabs and smash attacks too.

Shantae confirmed

Real quick to peeps. I am going to model a female character off of my avatar, I have an idea in mind but I would like to hear your suggestions.

Welp, what can I say? One's man's trash is another man's treasure. You liked them, I didn't.

I hope that's not all of the influence it has on Three Houses. All I want to see from Three Houses is better writing and characters. That's it.

Wasn't that actually just a thing FE2 (like, on the NES) did already?

shame they didn't nab Hidari to do the art as well because holy **** 3H looks rough as hell right now

 

[Pakky]

What's the idea?

A shapely orange skin woman with long purple hair in a white jumpsuit with stirrups with a puffy hood attached.

The hood will have big bobbly eyes on it and a nose
