Fire Emblem Fates General Discussion: Filled with Nohrian Scum

[bloomwaker]

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.

I follow a few Fire Emblem/artist blogs on tumblr. I started seeing fanart not even an hour later. I also saw a lot of interesting speculation. I'm hoping the dancer girl is a good character, because she looks like she'd make a great statue, and I don't want to buy a statue of a character I don't like, no matter how pretty it is.

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.

Same here!
( my birthday's in setember also)

That happened with p5 lol. I already saw some fanarts a few hours after the announcement too. It's pretty much happening every time a hyped game is announced, nothing new.

Super excited for this game and really looking forward to it. Awakening was my first Fire Emblem game and I absolutely loved it. <3 I've watched the trailer for this new game several times now and I'll definitely buy it as soon as it's available in Europe. Hopefully we won't have to wait too long.

I keep re-watching the trailer as well. The same thing happened to me when Robin and Lucina were announced for Smash.

It would be really nice if they released the trailer song without the sound effects. I've caught myself humming it a few times and wish I could just listen to it.

It seems like the cast of characters is completely different, though.

Ah... I was going to start a new Fire Emblem: Awakening Classic Lunatic file, too. I've played through that game way too many times. I probably won't ever touch Lunatic+ though.

Which reminds me, I wonder what the new, never-before-seen challenges are going to be.

I also want to know more about key story points and visuals. For example, the different colors

I just realized, the necklace seems to be glowing in the second one, but not the first. Maybe it signifies an important turn in the story (hence the added color change). Who knows.

It looks a decent amount like Ninian from FE7... But I doubt it

 

[bloomwaker]

I'm hoping it's a new cast of characters, but at the same time, I kind of want links to story things from awakening.

It would be interesting if this was before the Schism, when Ylisse, Ferox, and Plegia were one. Perhaps a Pre-schism Ylisse against the continent of Valm? Chon'sin in particular seems very Sword Master oriented with Say,ri, Yen'fay, and Lon'qu originating there. Though with the variety in Valm, the entirety of the game could take place there, too. Who knows! There's also the chance that they'll be fighting during the schism, and that some of the characters shown are ancestors to the ones in Awakening.

Or maybe two guys are fighting over Dancer Girl, which doesn't sound as interesting to me, but hey.

Speaking of Dancer Girl, I'm wondering if she's some kind of oracle. Her location in the beginning seems more solid, whereas the last chunk of the trailer seems more dream-like, or at the very least lest solid. Then again, they could just be doing the thing they did in Awakening where most things aren't particularly solid because they want to be able to transition between scenes quickly.

I actually counted how many times I watched the Robin/Lucina trailer on the day it came out. 41 times total, 38 times in english, and 3 times in japanese. I didn't count for this one but it's probably a lot as well.

And the music is really nice! The sound effects aren't the problem for me, it's that I have to skip about 50 seconds in to hear it.

Finally Gamexlain got on it.

 

[bloomwaker]

Oh, interesting. I'll need to be watching that video.

Sound effects are fine sometimes, and other times they bother me. For Chapter 10 in Awakening, I turn almost all of them off.

 

[Cam1]

IM JUST REALLY EXCITED ABOUT THIS RIGHT NOW PLEASE SOMEONE MAKE IT COME OUT NOW I NEEED ITTTTT.

Hmmhmm, sorry. As you can probably tell, Fire Emblem is my favorite game series behind Danganronpa haha.

 

[bloomwaker]

Awakening takes all the #1 spots on my Activity Log. I can definitely understand your excitement, haha.

Me too, haha.

 

[bloomwaker]

It doesn't help that Fire Emblem-related trailers make me want to replay the game. So many other things go without being played because of that. Oops.

 

[Micah]

I'm ridiculously excited for this game. I was hoping for a sequel to Awakening, but this looks unique enough to stand on its own. I'm hoping the choices are more like Mass Effect, that help shape your world, your army, and your story.

 

[bloomwaker]

They did hint towards that, so I'm hoping for the same. I can't believe how hyped I still am, haha.

When they announce pre-orders, you can bet I'll be on that.

ME TOO. I am definitely making sure I can snag it on release day, cause it is hard to find fire emblem games where I live, I guess it is really popular.

 

[Cress]

I just really want a special edition XL when it comes out, The New Leaf design I have now is okay, but I'd rather have a Fire Emblem one.

 

[bloomwaker]

ME TOO. I am definitely making sure I can snag it on release day, cause it is hard to find fire emblem games where I live, I guess it is really popular.

With my luck, they'll announce things while I'm at work, and I'll get stuck without a chance. This is what happened with Majora's Mask stuff.

Hopefully I at least get a shot at the Amiibos. I'll order on a work computer if I have to.

 

[Cress]

So after I say there's nobody posing in the Awakening thread, now nobody's posting here...

I'm playing through Lunatic Classic right now too. Lunatic+ is just a waste of time imo.

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....

Yeah Lunatic+ is kinda stupid. I don't really know why it was included other than to troll people. I'm also hoping that they fix Lunatic mode so that the early chapters don't require grinding. It would be easy to re-balance it so you can play through the whole game without having to use DLC.

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.

The old FE games are always like this, so I'm used to it, haha. That's part of the fun for me, it makes it more of a challenge.

I'm ridiculously excited for this game. I was hoping for a sequel to Awakening, but this looks unique enough to stand on its own. I'm hoping the choices are more like Mass Effect, that help shape your world, your army, and your story.

Me toooooo!

Also guys if you love FE:A please play past Fire Emblem games especially the GBA ones such as Blazing Sword, Sword of Seals, and Sacred Stones.
