Fire Emblem Fates General Discussion: Filled with Nohrian Scum

If... If... If you give Nintendo money they will give you this game? IDK

HOW MUCH? XD

Just reposting this since it seems really interesting.

The game introduces what appear to be Japanese-style equivalents to the traditional weapon triangle of sword, lance, and axe: the katana (刀), a form of single-edged sword, the naginata (薙刀), a type of polearm with a weapon triangle advantage over swords, and the kanabō (金棒), a truncheon-like weapon. Bows have also gained a placement in the weapon triangle; so far, they are known to have a disadvantage to the katana.​

Hopefully this will make a bigger impact than it did in Awakening (seriously it was pointless unless you did Lunatic or Lunatic+). No mention if a magic triangle, er... square? will come back yet.

i might get it but i don't own fe:awakening so i have no experience in these games
and better not be new3ds exclusive

WOO EXCITE!! I wish I knew Japanese history cause the story might be related/inspired from it? All I can think of is the Sengoku era... Also something to note: This may be a west vs. east war? Some characters seem to dress up in eastern garment while the other in western. I'm not sure which one is our side but it may be east since most enemies in the trailer are dressed in western garment.

Since we can't see their face, the crumbling/fading figure may be our PC and it seems like they were choking the girl? She may be part of the enemy.

and the "if", the choices being important, and some parts of the trailer makes me think that time-traveling may be involved. If the first battle in the trailer turning into a painting means anything, the battle that we're taking part of may take place in the past.

...I'm speculating all of these from the trailer alone and I'd probably be wrong lol.

I'm 95% sure it's not exclusive.

Well, if you were right, I'd be fine with it! (Better this one theory I saw saying that the girl was Chrom's grandma in the past...)

PC is spotted (they have different hair in different screenshots) and they may be the new lord? Customizable character is a lord O: And not sure if crumbling figure is indeed PC as they don't look human. Dancer girl may be related to dragon? She looks like her too http://fireemblem.wikia.com/wiki/Ninian

These are really interesting! In the first article, I loved how they said the prince might be a combination between Morgan, Inigo, and Henry since those were my 3 favorite characters from Awakening! ^.^

Just going to add that in the Japanese trailer, the end shows off the game's logo, then it slowly slits into 2, and then goes back together. It has a sort of 3D effect except they split vertically, not horizontally. It seems like the SMTxFE trailer...

FE:A is a great one to have. I never even played FE games before Awakening. I randomly decided to pick it up because someone said it would be good, even though I'm not into strategy.
Now I'm obsessed (with Awakening in particular), but I'm really looking forward to this new game.


I'm hoping the speculation about the MU is true, and they're the new lord. I would have really liked if MU and Morgan could be Lords/Great Lords if they're part of the royal family. I like Grandmaster better, but it still would have been nice, haha.

Instant buy as all fire Emblem games nowadays are for me. I loved Awakenings and if its half as good, I`ll happily throw my money at them yet again.

Its amazing how the Fire Emblem series have not let me down a single time. Even Zelda had a cat in the bag moment.

I hope they will fix the lunatic+ issues though if they plan on making another really hard playthrough version. Lunatic+ at times was more unfair then difficult. Damn counter....

Who says that there will be Lunatic+?

 

[ThomasNLD]

Who says that there will be Lunatic+?

No one. Thats why I said "if". I just hope there will be some type of equivalent of it, but more focused on tactical skill and less on randomness factor.

Honestly I'm scared to play normal Lunatic mode... Is it playable compared to +?

 

[ThomasNLD]

Yeah it is, but its been a while since I played it. The difference is that certain skills activate all the time on lunatic+, that makes it so random, because before you start the game you need to check all the characters if they don`t have the dangerous skills,especially when closely standing together. Lunatic is very doable. Give it a try. I think honestly it might be more fun to play lunatic, then lunatic+. But I haven`t played FE in a few months myself, so I hope my memory is somewhat accurate.

& Hey, why be scard when the Nintendo Gods have blessed us with a restart button.

 

[Cress]

I might go ahead and try it then soon. Isn't Apotheosis supposed to be fixed on Lunatic difficulty? Because I beat that after a few tries, so I'd be comfortable (sort of) in Lunatic.

 

[ThomasNLD]

I don`t remember, sorry.

 

[bloomwaker]

Lunatic is doable. I'm not incredibly smart and I've managed to do it. I did reset quite a bit the first time though. Not as much the second time, but I reset if someone dies no matter what. If I'm going to make it through, I'm making it through with everyone.

 

[EpicGamer12]

Very excited for the new installment, hopefully it will be released sooner than later.

 

[bloomwaker]

Yeah. At least it says 2015 on it. Hopefully it doesn't pull a Smash and release towards the end of the year. That would hurt my little heart.

 

[Cress]

I'm guessing we'll get it in the fall, maybe August or September.

If it comes in September, I'd consider it a birthday present!

But if it comes sooner, I wouldn't complain.
Either way, I'd love to see some more information before its release. More trailers, or perhaps even another direct.

 

[Cress]

I googled Fire Emblem If because I wanted a pic from the trailer as my new profile pic and there's already fan art of it.
I'm somehow not surprised that people are making fan art of people of a game that we don't know when it's coming out and we don't know the character's name even.
