Fire Emblem thread. Are you excited about Fates and #FE?
>>324306227
>Are you excited about Fates and #FE?
I may buy Nohr route. But I'm disgusted that they're splitting the story into 2 full retail releases, the more "core" FE fanbase would not stand for this. but they're outspoken by the FE13 era weeb otaku faggots that eat any of that shit up. And the fact that 90% of the character designs are recycled from awakening is disappointing.
I hope it isn't trash like 11, 12 and 13
As a long time FE fan, and relatively new SMT fan, I'm trying my best to forget #FE exists
>>324306227
>Are you excited about Fates and #FE?
Yes and yes.
No and No
Once the new fanbase inevitably gets bored and jumps ship we will have a Sonic situation where the devs constantly try to recreate what they once had but will only make hollow imitations
>>324306227
>Are you excited about Fates and #FE?
Yes, Nohr specifically, and hell no.

>>324307175
>Y-you get a discount on being jewed!
>>324306227
>Are you excited about Fates and #FE?
Not at all.
>>324306227
Yes and no.
I love Fire Emblem, and I liked Awakening, too. I buy so few games I don't give a fuck about the pricing, even. It's gonna be the first game I've bought since last September.
>>324307175
And what about the third story?
>>324307175
only if you buy digital, which is the worst choice you could possibly make with nintendo's account system.
>>324307253
So you would rather the second route just be a split halfway through the game like Sacred Stones?
>>324306807
You sound mad anon just let it go at least fire emblem is still alive, unlike advance wars.
Why don't they just sell every chapter after the prologue as DLC? People are obviously willing to defend that practice.
>>324306227
>Are you excited about Fates
Not really. Selling 1 game in 3 parts disgusts me.
>and #FE?
Aslong as NoA doesn't butcher the game with dub only I'll get it. Looks decent
>>324307341
Also 20$ I think.
I'm not American.
Best waifu coming through.
>>324307378
...that would be preferable yes.
>>324307415
>at least sonic is still alive!
>>324307415
I don't understand how having a franchise ruined and catering to weeaboo faggots is better than the franchise just not having any games anymore
Isn't F-Zero better off for ending on a good game and not having an Other M situation?
>Split the game up to sell in parts
>Terrible writing
>Obvious pandering means we have shit tier character designs
Why would anyone be excited?
>>324306807
You know what, I am taking more of this bait.
>the more "core" FE fanbase would not stand for this
The more "core" FE fanbase love Nohr
>I hope it isn't trash like 11, 12 and 13
12 was great anon.
>>128923015
>tfw dawn brigade levels were my favorite ones
Ike and crew are just too OP
>>324307624
no, because a bad game doesn't hurt me in the slightest. I just don't buy it. Which is the same result as if it didn't exist at all.
So why not let other fags find something to like in it? Keeps alive the hope of improving into a game I want to buy again.
>>324307578
So just 5 extra chapters for the route split.
How exciting.
>>324307706
>The more "core" FE fanbase love Nohr
A lie. The people who started with Fire Emblem 13 but fancy themselves hardcore "love" Nohr. FE12's self insert take away from the story, just like Robin/Kamui it's another Mary Sue character. The only benefit of having an MU in that game is it gave some of the side characters some lines. Nohr has a shit story with mostly shit characters.
I miss sprites I tell ya I really do I'm more of a sprite kind of boy

This has literally never ever happened

>Can't preorder special edition
Sounds like a whole lotta frick to me family
>>324308043
Megaman has gone through several cycles of great and shit games. I would hate it if the series had died after 7 because "better to be dead than shitty". Or after X4. Or after BN3.
>>324308050
>I've never played anything but 13/14, the post
>>324308050
>Being this blatantly dishonest
No one is going to say Fire Emblem had amazing storylines, but FE14's is far below the standard and the older Fire Emblems at least generally had cool characters, which is also lacking in 14
Comparing even a so so story by Fire Emblem standards like FE7 to 14 is like night and day
I'm going to pirate Nohr when I have some spare time. I'll buy it if it's good, but I don't trust the people claiming that it's such a good game because I remember the same assholes tricked me into buying Awakening by lying about the gameplay and level design.
Should I start on hard or lunatic? Is it suitable to be played ironman?
>>324308167
That's cute.
>>324307803
You'd be waiting until you're dead.
>>324308050
>Genealogy/Thracia isn't the best fiction ever concocted
every /v/ thread is just nohr shilling I'm pretty sure it's actually gamefags
>>324308283
Megaman didn't get shit because they tried to pander to a new audience, it got shit because it was shit, it's not the same.
There's virtually no examples of a franchise in any media going full dumbing down mode and then returning to it's original form untainted
>>324308310
The fact that you think FE7 has even a remotely good story is laughable at best.
>>324308308
What is 10, most of 6, the first half of 4, the whole of 12, 11 and the latter half of 9?
Also Eirika mode 8.
>>324307829
that was 1 story with a split for a few missions.
this is 2 stories that could have EASILY been able to fit on a single cartridge, especially with ho w good ninty is with compression.
>>324308336
I'll probably do the same, Awakening was my first FE and I honestly didn't mind it but I hated how every single map was exactly the same. I want to get the harder one (I think it's Hoshido) and I'm hoping for genuine map variety and not just ROUT THE ENEMY all the time.
>>324308336
>Is it suitable to be played ironman?
>>324308452
specifically, nohr shilling from people who haven't played the game, which makes it extra funny
I've already pirated all of Fates and I've beaten #FE too.
Both were really good games, I'd have to say that I probably liked #FE a bit more.
>>324308419
It isn't.
>>324308508
Is English your first language?
>>324308508
In what universe is Zigludo's Bizarre Adventure not well written?
>>324307706
>The more "core" FE fanbase love Nohr
what does that have to do with thinning out a story to 3 different parts to sell separately?
>>324308525
The whole series sans 9, 13 and 10 could fit on 1 cartridge?
Why don't they just add them all on 1 cart?
I wonder what bullshit they'll pull next time
Remove all in map recruitable characters and make them DLC?
You saw it here first
Yes for both, localization sure it's taking a long time
>>324308589
It seems like recent FE games expect the player to reset all the time (there were even save points on the maps in the DS games and FE12 lunatic was pure bullshit). Not sure if I'll get fucked over by wyvern reinforcements in FE14 or if it'll be like FE5 where I can play ironman just fine as long as I use my brain.
>>324308713
>The whole series sans 9, 13 and 10 could fit on 1 cartridge?
what the fuck are you smoking? I'm talking about fucking fates. a single game with 3 stories, all sharing significant amount of assets.
>>324308713
I'm pretty confident you could actually fit most single generations of FE onto a single cart these days. I see no reason why you wouldn't get a FE11/12, FE7/8 or FE13/14-1/14-2/14-3 collection. They share the same engine and assets anyway, it would just be new maps.
>>324308713
>Games made at completely separate time, most with significant gameplay differences compared to /literally/ the same games, just split up storywise
Plus they remade FE1 when they made FE3 and gave it away with the game, but then when they went to remake it instead of just remaking FE3 and splitting it up into books again they remade FE1 as FE11 and FE3 books 2 as FE12.
>>324308816

>>324308858
>It seems like recent FE games expect the player to reset all the time (there were even save points on the maps in the DS games and FE12 lunatic was pure bullshit
To be fair FE4 also had a save prompt at every turn. But that was because the maps were gigantic and could take a minimum of an hour to complete
>>324308125
>>324308928
So three games?
Three different stories
Three different scores of music?
Two different selections of characters?
100+ chapters?
>>324309039
>that map where Ike and his crew fight the Dawn Brigade and a ton of Daein soldiers
>The Black Knight starts moving towards you
Still thinking about it. Would get Nohr first just for the added challenge and less chance for grinding, but I still hate the idea of the My Castle stuff.
>>324308525
If I remember correctly, the special edition has all three routes on a single cartridge.
>>324308580
the harder one is Nohr and it has map variety
>>324309075

Nope.
Finn is popular.
Beowulf couldn't even get into the FE4 manga because the artist didn't like him.
>>324309158
>less chance for grinding
From what I've experienced, you cannot gain experience or weapon experience except in the main story missions.This includes the DLC. No idea if it includes the amiibo missions or not
>>324309125
Terrifying.
>>324309287

How is this any different to that?
>>324309287
Beowulf was so unpopular with Japanese fansthat IS scrapped him being Nanna's father and just gave her to Fin instead.
>>324309575
Lyn over Hector is a bigger crime
>>324308608

>>324309075
Olwen a cute
Eyrios is an edgemaster
>>324309818
Take a wild guess.
>>324309460
Sounds great. Is the My Castle mode essential for anything in the main missions, or is it just fluff? The less time I have to pat the head of my units the better.
>>324309809
I'm surprised that Hector is in the top 10 at all. I thought Japan hated him.
>>324309818
>>324309967
they hate ike, not hector
>>324309965
It's essential if you want to recruit Flora, or capture a few generic units.
Also it houses the shops and the forge.
>>324309575
I am actually quite pleased that Ephraim and Hector remain popular despite being in old games, I expected far worse
>>324310045
So why is Ike at #1?
>>324309919
Eyrios was a better unit of the two
>>324310081
And Finn?
He's older than both of them.
>>324310130

Why did literally everyone in RD look stoned?
>>324309810
Eh, I was playing on easy mode since I've never played an SMT before, plus it was all in Japanese too. I found it challenging enough, some fights were crazy and forced me to git gud though, which was nice, can't just session your way out of everything. Carnages work like this; each time you fight an enemy they drop these things called stardoms and their own life force. To craft a carnage you need some of each(usually just 1 of their life force and a few stardoms(there's different ones too like level 1 stardoms from early dungeons and level 6 stardoms from later dungeons)) like in pic related. Each Carnage weapon has about 5 skills each they can learn(a command skill, session skill, and passive skill). Command is what you use in battle obviously, session is what they use during session attacks, and passive is of course just an always active passive skill. Once you learn all the skills the Carnage is mastered and you move onto a new one. If a new carnage you have has the same skill as one you've already learned, it'll upgrade the skill, so if you learn zan twice you can get zan+1. And of course other high level carnages higher level skills like mahazan or something.

Already done with them.
I enjoyed #FE more than FE if.
>>324310485
I only felt that way about Astrid
>>324310485
Because PoR had a different portrait artist (Sachiko Wada who did the character art/design for Sacred Stones along with a bunch of other shit for the series). In that game Senri Kita just did the character art. In RD she does both the portrait art and the character art/design.
>>324310548
>I enjoyed #FE more than FE if.
My nigga.
>>324310615
That would explain her obsession with makalov
I have the pirated fan translation. I've played both routes. I've also played every single fire emblem game and the western ones I've beaten 15+ times each.
If any "old' fire emblem fans are still here I'll say that I do enjoy the games. It's different and obviously closer to awakening but it's still a really fun game. Lots of interesting and fun mechanics.
I'll be buying all e campaigns when they come out

Chapter 11 in Nohr path and enjoying it a lot so far.
Just wish there was optional battlers so I could grind and level up support ranks.
Heard that in Hoshido you also cant so I dunno why they would do that.
http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/701254-genei-ibun-roku-fe/73126331/841513681
>>324311248
Oh right, that makes sense.
>>324311331
That's the point of Nohr. Last time I checked you can grind in Hoshido.
What don't people like about #FE?
>>324306227
Already played Fates untranslated. Was fun. Would play Nohr againthis time on Lunaticif english release wasn't so close.
Fuck #FE, though. That stuff's too much for my relatively modest level of weeb.
>>324311331
Hoshido has optional battles out the ass. Someone's blowing smoke up your ass.
Having Tiki transform into a dragon and then using her soft tummy as a pillow~
>>324311530
Most I see is usually just people complaining about "muh idols" and how it isn't the dark and gritty SMT they wanted. Even though if you play the game the over the top cutesy idol stuff isn't even that overbearing.
>>324311530
They just don't like how after 2 years they didn't got any news of the crossover and how it turned out, understandable but some people are going full autism over it

Since you are here I want to ask how are the sidequests, anything noteworthy or the usual stuff for an RPG?
>>324312202
>Oboro that high
fuck year
>>324312179
Yes, the sidequests are very nice. Each one is it's own little story but they all follow an overarching theme for the character. Like Tomas has him doing different stuff trying to get a role as a sentai actor, and in each one a little kid who's all depressed is in it, in his last one, the little kid gets kidnapped by an evil Abel and he has to save them. They're all pretty good for characterization and you do get some good xp and stuff from it.
>>324311331
Just play the DLC.

I've been so tempted to give her the D, but I can't find it in me to not pair her up with Takumi.

>Grinding
>>324312664
Nice, thanks for the info
I actually enjoyed the dawn brigade missions because of how shit the units were; it was a nice challenge
The only decent units out of the entire crew were Nolan and Edward. It's a shame you're forced to bring Sothe when you get that Volke or whatever his name is literally the map before Endgame.
Micaiah is at least good at being a healslut since she's too slow to double anything that's not a knight and made out of glass to boot. Thani is pretty useful at least
>>324312997
Play Nohr and Ik without pre-premotes to simulate the dawn brigade
>>324312827
Not each one has you fighting a boss though, usually the first two are just "go to a dungeon and kill these enemies" or a fetch quest for an item, but usually every characters third one has them fighting a boss. Yashiros third story in particular was really fun. You fightLon'qu
>>324312202
>people actually like Takumi
>Felicia that low
Unbelievable.
>>324313186
11/35 is not low senpai, though I don't know how the slut beat her. What's actually triggering is Hanakaza being 21 and Anna being fucking 31. Impressed that Kanna is 34, though.
>>324313168
Figured as much since you can't always have those kinds of quest, but it's always nice to see them included
>>324313142
I was playing through Hoshido but I got pretty bored around chapter 20 or so. Nohr is really well designed and it just makes me wonder what happened with the weeaboo side. Just finished chapter 10 and it was pretty dope
Are IK's maps as good as Nohr?
>>324313458
Sorta inbetween.
That chapter 10 map you just played is in IK though.
Silas is the boss.
>>324313386
It's not surprising that Anna is low, considering that she has no screentime and is DLC-only
I wonder why Orochi is so unpopular, though
/feg/ plsgb2ycb
>>324313458
Because Hoshido was made for casuals.
>>324313675
Anna has been around forever, though. Unlike the rest of the characters, she has (or should have) a stable fan base.
>>324313675
SLUT
>>324313414
Yeah, it's not all pure fighting but it really does do well for the characters. Plus it lets you learn new skills and such which is nice.

How do I beat Takumi in the final chapter and actually make it to him without half my units getting swept?
What other SRPGs do you guys like? Are Summon Night 5 or Stella Glow any good?
>>324308125
At least post a template, asshole.
For those who have played through fates a bit, which units are worth avoiding using? Don't care from what campaign your opinion comes from as I'll be playing both.
>>324320668
>>324320120
I haven't played 5, but I thought the other Summon Night games were pretty decent
My favorite will always be TO and the FFT series, though
>>324308816
>>324320846
In Nohr Pieri and the Awakening characters are all pretty terrible. Most other characters are at least useful for something, even Gunter.
>>324321304
By awakening characters do you mean the carbon copy looking ones? I haven't looked much at the cast. Got my translated version downloaded and will be playing tomorrow.
>>324321485They're actually the characters from Awakening, using false names
>>324321485
Odin, Lazwald and Luna are actually Owain, Inigo and Severa.
They world-hopped.
>>324321485
One other thing to note about those 3 characters: they all have access to a Hoshido class if you Parallel Seal them. Most Nohr characters can't do that.
>>324321627
>>324321639
>>324322103
Jesus, I don't know what to think of this.
>>324322560
They're more or less shit units, so don't think of it too hard. Just play the game as you would normally.
>>324322793
Are there any opinions on Hoshido units, I plan on playing it first to acclimate to the new triangle and other things, since it's the easier route.
>>324323192
Ryoma is apparently broken. I just got him and he can clean a map on his own but he will eat xp in the process due to being a prepromote.
>>324323192
Big brother Ryouma will break the game once you get him and is great to take to Endgame.
Takumi is a great archer, but can occassionally fall behind in speed. His bow lets him ignore terrain penalties.
Big Sister Hinoka is better than your first PK and comes with a Naginata that boosts def/res by 5. Best reclassed to a Lance fighter.
Sakura's just another healer. Whether you choose to use her is up to you.
Kaze, the green ninja is very useful, as is the first maid/butler you get since they can debuff.
Oboro the blue-haired Lancer is pretty great.
Cyrus is a good Cavalier with potential speed issues.
There's not many really bad units in Hoshido path, but I guess you should avoid using Rinka when you can afford it. Your first PK is kinda middling in the growths department, but being a flyer can grant him some utility if you need it.
Just try not to worry in Hoshido. It's cake, even in Lunatic.
>>324323947
The only problem i have with Rinka is her hp. It's less than almost literally everyone else and she's almost level 20. Aqua would have less than her but i boosted it one time.
I'm playing Fates right now without any censorship or botched translations!
>>324325881
Congratulations!
>>324309965
What>>324310060 said. You need My Castle for buying weapons, staves, and items. Some characters can also only be recruited through the Castle though they're not at all necessary for the game. You could face-rub if you wanted to but all you get is dialogue and minor support growth, so you can still get A/S rank supports without it.
I'm going to start Nohr soon. Could someone give me some general tips beforehand?
And if there are easily miss-able characters, it would be great if I could have a couple spoiler-free hints towards recruiting them.
Man, trying to find decent fanart for non-Awakening/Fates characters is such a pain.
Why does FE in particular seem to attract DA autists so much?
>>324325881

The servant you start with (Felicia if you're Male, Joker if you're Female) comes with a great Personal Skill that buffs the avatar when you pair up with them. They're both really useful overall for chip damage and of course healing.
>easily miss-able characters
If you build your castle's jail before Chapter 9, you can capture the boss of that map. He's a very powerful Lancer.

You just have to look a bit harder anon.
Can you grind supports in the DLC on Nohr? Getting the kids seems like a huge pain in the ass otherwise.

Oh cool, I forgot about capturing. How many generics can you capture? Are they useful?
I'm thinking of using generics as meatshields on an ironman run, is that a good idea or will I need a full party of named characters for each chapter?

>How many generics can you capture? Are they useful?
Once you've actually recruited them through the jail I don't think there's an upper limit on your whole party. Your jail has a limited number of cells for units you haven't recruited yet.
>Are they useful?
Mostly just that Lancer (Haitaka) and a Basara (Kumagera) that comes a bit later. The bosses are better in general (and come with better skills), but there's some normal enemies with 2-3 Rally skills near the endgame of Nohr that could be useful.
