Fire Emblem Fates General Discussion: Filled with Nohrian Scum

[Cress]

I'm looking at the first page again for fun and...

It would be strange if DLC didn't return. Maybe they'll have the Outrealms again and meet Chrom and everyone from Awakening? And will amiibo be used somehow?

I totally called all of this. (Okay so Chrom didn't return but other Awakening characters did.)

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

6 months off. *Cri*

Guess which feature is getting axed in the overseas versions.

I figured out that it would feel out of place, since it was trying so hard to get the players attached to their favorite units it would overshadow the rest of the game.

Though, I wonder what else the localization team would throw to make up for the missing feature. Probably receiving those bonuses by attaining the highest support rank without throwing the cut mini-game at us.

 

[bloomwaker]

I'm actually very glad LMAO

 

[Mars Adept]

Wait, that thing's getting removed?

I don't want to get FE:F now, I'll save up my money for something better, maybe FE 7.

Honestly I didn't really want to get it in the first place, but now I don't want to get it at all.

I respect anyone who didn't like that part of the game though.

I can understand you don't want it, but don't forget it's one part of one support. It's really not important if they removed it.

While I'm a bit surprised they actually went through with doing that, I'm quite happy and now people can't say it's a marriage simulator.

I came across this news earlier and am quite happy. It's a ridiculous feature that got out of hand from what they intended it to be in the first place.

Petting people was your only selling point for this game? lol

FE 7 is a good choice and it's pretty cheap on the Virtual Console. It's honestly the best of the easily acquirable Fire Emblem games and has a good bit of replayability since, like Fates, there are two paths you can take past Chapter 11 (Eliwood and Hector).

Some say it's one of the best in the series. I'm personally more of a Path of Radiance and Radiant Dawn person, but those are rare, hard to find, and oftentimes extremely expensive.

Except anyone who was calling it a marriage simulator has the same reasons for doing so. Petting, as dumb and pandering as it is, is only a contributing factor to a bigger issue. The fact that supports since Awakening are written so the characters have the option to marry as many people as possible instead of having more interesting, platonic friendships mixed in is still marriage simulator territory. Sorry to say, but it's as much deserving of the label as Awakening was if someone wants to level that complaint against the game.

Well, actually I didn't know such a thing was going to be in the game until I heard it was going to be removed. Now I want to get the game for the petting, and for Corrin. And maaaaaaybe for the gameplay.

Also, I've heard that it may just be a rumor and that all that info about it being "removed" comes from one source that's unreliable.

I might get FE 7, it has barely any marriage nonsense and seems to have a lot of content. I made a mistake when choosing Awakening as my first game. lol

 

[koopakingg]

Wow, they removed the petting feature? Actually pretty mad about this. Minor thing, but it didn't have to be cut out.

And now one of my favorite units has the most annoying voice. :|

 

[bloomwaker]

I was already pretty sure I was going to play the Japanese voices (hopefully they included those again) because Camilla's VA is my favorite female VA, but now I'm more than "pretty sure".

 

[Ayaya]

Other games I play already have some variation of the petting feautures (where it's more appropriate and somewhat less weird) so I'm not losing much

I wonder how they'll handle other problematic parts of the game. If they toned some things down and make things more subtle/less weird, that'd be great.

Yeah! I mean I know it's more of a mature game, but all the uncomfortable content is really unnecessary. Awakening was great without content like this, so I don't really care.

 

[Thunder]

Can't say I'm bothered by them removing the weird petting thing, honestly I'm more bothered by some of these localized names.

Holy **** lol, I had to look up the original vid myself because I didn't believe it at first.

 

[Trent the Paladin]

Yeah so far I'm not being wowed by the VAs based off what's been showcased via the Smash reveal and that clip...

Petting thing is kinda creepy, I don't mind terribly much that it's gone since that's something I'd expect in an M/AO rated game leading to some... Far more lewd scenes.

 

[bloomwaker]

The Smash scene is really bad in comparison to the actual Scene, which I was actually glad for. The Smash scene dub had really put me off.

I know right?! I was trying to be positive as possible but I was like "Elise, are you cheering or are you actually sad?!". Then in actual cutscene she seemed a bit more discouraged so I was like "You got lucky..." xD

OMG I JUST REALIZED THE FIRE EMBLEM FATES SITE IS FINALLY FINISHED! And all together, in Canada, all three paths will be 2 cents less than the Special Edition. Losing the book the box and the case but hey, still paying an okay price. And so much new footage!

Is it? I haven't seen that same scene again so I'm really hoping it is.

Elise's voice made me want to not buy the game no lie. I'm okay with most VAs expect Felicia and Xander who sounds too young.

Im glad they removed the petting beside it would probably just cause bad ratings and rants by people who care so much about an optional feature.

I'm wondering how they're going to handle the whole marrying you're sisters and others marrying their cousins, because that "companions" crap won't do it for me.

 

[bloomwaker]

I realize though, how jarring Marx/Xander's voice is in comparison to the Japanese dub, it just doesn't quite...fit?

To be fair, in Awakening, there were voices in the Japanese cast that I also didn't like, and a lot of English voices I loved. Maybe it will be a mix like that.

 

[Matt0106]

I'm just relieved that Azura can sing and sounds proper, because if she sounded messed up, I don't think I would make Corrin marry and I would actually maybe go to Japanese VAs for all we know. she is literally my favorite character in the whole game so I'm glad.
