"Uncover the intertwining tales of heroes Alm and Celica, engage foes, fend off monsters, and explore 3D dungeons. Your prowess will grow as you master this melding of modern and legacy Fire Emblem™ gameplay."

Looks like Echoes won't be as faithful as some people think it will be.
 
Just so long as the story remains in tact, I'll be fine with it. We don't need another Fire Emblem abridged. I mean for fuck's sake, this is the first time this game's story is available to English speakers. Treat it as such.
 
I honestly enjoy most of the mechanical innovations introduced since Awakening. Pairing is actually a great idea IMO.

Just don't hire a mangaka to pen the script then throw out 90% of it at the last moment forcing a horrific rushjob/clusterfuck of a plot.
 
I'm still mourning the fact that Azura's superior Nohr costume is exclusive to a fucking cutscene

I wanna add to this and say they removing the in-battle supports in favor of putting them on a map screen imo is a godsend. I hate having to choose between increasing my bonds (and stats) at the cost of accidentally putting that unit in a bad spot, or to have nobody talk to anyone and just survive.
 
oh yeah let's hope they fix the biggest issue that Gaiden has

in that there's no playable axe-users
 

New trailer with some english voices
sounds like Celica is Erica Lindbeck and Emperor Rudolph is Jamieson Price
Alm isn't easy to pin down but I think he's Bryce Papenbrook
 
it's anime
there's more bad animation than there is good
 
so I managed to roll Jaffar in FE Heroes and my god, he is like 8 times more edgy with a voice

"I was born atop a mountain of corpses... from the very beginning, I was cradled in death."
now imagine that already choice piece of edge being voiced by man choking on gravel and razorblades


now if you'll excuse me, I'm gonna go back to crying that I didn't get Lucius (Jaffar's a damn good dagger unit tho)
 
So the next banner is a spring event with the chosen units being in bright, "spring-related" outfits, but god damn I CANNOT take Xander seriously. I nearly died from laughing too hard!
 
Echoes has map supports

we goin' back in time now boiz
 
eh, that's fine. if its to keep the gameplay the same then so be it.
I'll always prefer not having to micromanage while strategizing but this is fine.
 
I don't find it that big a deal, considering the structure of the game

it's not like I have to sit around for 500 years for the sake of learning Renault's backstory (fuck you renault)

What is this exactly.
so you know that place where the battles go all down on

imagine havin' a chat about spaghetti w/ the boi you're having a like for in the middle of that
 
That's an inappropriate place and time to talk about Italian pasta dishes I would think.
 
Would it be better if you and your boy discussed more appropriate things like world politics or what kind of steak you prefer?
 
i disciplined those out of you years ago
damn kid wouldn't even kill without crying about it

I HAVE TOLD YOU TO PLAY BLAZING SWORD AND YOU HAVENT! FUCKING WHY?!
Ew.

No.

Why would someone play Blazing Sword when you could play a good FE game, like Fates or Awakening?
 
i can buy better bait than that at the docks

try harder
 
BeatNinja said:
Older FE games are hard and scary.
Agreed.

It's why Fates and Awakening are the best ones.

I don't need strategy. I can just kill stuff.

You can always play dynasty warriors...

Nah.

Those games are dumb and they don't have any waifu mechanics, like all of the good FE games.
 
Blazing Sword isn't even that hard. It gives you all the best units you need on a silver platter.

Hell if you get in on Wii u you can even scum out the RNG with restore points, like using them for arena grinding
 
Actually, the save restores don't fully help in ways you'll need it. If a unit is caught out and they die, they'll die regardless. RNGesus has already decided that character's fate.
 
When it's on your turn, you can still use the restore points to feel out what's going to happen. With the arena you can use it to cheat by seeing if that character wins or not, and they don't, you reload, refuse the fight they lose, then test the next fight.
Repeat for easy grinding
 
Blazing Sword has an interesting ranking system tho IIRC. Interesting for replay.

Series was never really about strategy anyway :P

No real long term planning in battles other than making use of map quirks over the course of a battle. Shops and levels aren't hard to manage if it ain't your first time either.

It's more pure tactics. Each turn is a little puzzle where maneuvering your dudes in the right formation keeps you from losin' em.
 
I come in to talk about Fire Emblem. Hope I don't get hit with an axe.

So, Echoes has in-map supports. Oh boy. Like that won't be inconvenient at the worst time. I dig the dungeon crawling though. Could be a load of fun.

*Looks around* And since it's my first time, better clear the air. Only have played Awakening and Fates. I've been meaning to play the older games but I've been so busy...

And no matter what anyone tells you... Fates has better mechanics than Awakening, but the story and 90% of the characters are total CRAAAAAAAAAP.
