Fire Emblem Nintendo Direct

I swear to Arceus if this is just Warriors, a mobile game, and a Fates port I WILL kill myself

Liked times 500 for the return of Advance Wars. Days of Ruin was too dark. But I loved the first three titles, Dual Strike in particular. I've beaten Dual Strike at least three or four times.

I thought Days of Ruin was perfect considering the dark story. I need to play it again sometime soon.

I really don't like the direction they took with Fates. They took the waifu stuff too far and it's a real turnoff for me.

Days of ruin was good, why do people hate it?
I would rebuy it as DS VC.

Can't wait. I hope it won't be another waifu castle building simulator-

It's a shame that's the only thing that sold the latest games.

I feel your pain, I called that SMT x FE Tokyo Sessions a Waifu simulator on IGN and people got upset over it lol.

Same here, I've lost what little interest in had of even trying it because of the waifu focus. I have nothing against waifu in general, but when it's incessantly shoved in our face as one of the selling points, you can forget it.

I love zelda games, I loved Hyrule Warrior, I never played fire emblem, do you think ill like fire emblem warrior or i loved hyrule warrior just because i love zelda games?

If you liked Hyrule Warriors odds are you'll like FE Warriors. Warriors games have a sort of sort of reputation of being "you've played one you've played them all". In other words they're more or less the same.

I also played the GBA ones and Awakening and really liked them. Awakening was giving signs that they might go this direction, but it was still acceptable.

It really is disappointing for me. I guess that's an easy way to sell, though.

I would be more willing to call Fates a Waifu simulator and Tokyo Sessions a cringe inducing machine, but that's me ofc.

Oh, God... Another Fire Emblem related Direct...? I wish they would stop trying to force this series down our throats. But hopefully they have other things to discuss.

 

[sarkwalvein]

Oh, God... Finally a Fire Emblem related Direct...! It took them a long time. FE should have been a Switch launch title, we need some quality games other than BotW.

Now we are only missing the Metroid Direct.

i'd say its mainly that the other games had so many characters with so many different strenghts, weaknesses and powers and then days of ruin comes along and everyone is basically the same and your co only influences like a few units at a time. then there's that unit level mechanic too...
i mean, yeah, double co powers were kinda one step too far, but there should have been a sweetspot between AW2 and DS where the game should have gone towards.

well, too bad, that relationship stuff is literally what made the series attractive to audiences over here (and the japanese clearly didn't complain either) so its going to stay

Don't forget the new FE amiibo serie. Maybe we'll get the Corrin release date.

Would you please lend me the hanging rope?

 

[Goombi]

Would you please lend me the hanging rope?

Right after the Direct sir, in case you would change your mind.

On a more serious note, I really wonder what's worth a Direct. Fates on Switch might have been a legitimate error so what's left? A game that we had a trailer 5 days ago and a mobile app? Nah I don't buy it, there was no Super Mario Run Direct.

Yeah, I feel newer people to the series really only like the games because of the waifus. And that's a shame.

Cant wait for tonight, fucking love Fire Emblem

Waifu petting was a mistake
