trash game that can't stand on its own
we have been summoning heroes from the past for 4 games now.
awakening, fates, warriors, heroes
But awakening and fates didn't intergrate it onto the main story, the other two are spin-offs.
DISCARDED
Heroes is mainline.
no it's not
When Sakurai was doing his autistic binary counting, Heroes was counted as mainline (whereas the Satellaview games, Warriors, and Tokyo Mirage Sessions were not). Nintendo would not have let him do that if it weren't official.
HAHAHAHAHA
not core mechanic and spin-off trash
this is a main title.
it has to stand on its own
And they're all shit
they literally did this gimmick 3 games ago for frick's sake. and it's arguably the premise of the mobile game, too.
just how often is a company allowed to make games that are a tribute to their own series? once every ten years apparently?
This. I miss when they could craft interesting worlds like Tellius and Fodlan. This just gives me TMS vibes except it's a mainline game.
TO BE FAIR, the leak said this game was originally planned to be the 30th anniversary game and has been finished for over a year now.
If the bad guys can summon previous villains this could actually be kino if they don't frick it up. Emphasis in the IF though.
I just wanna see if a villain summons Edelgard for the butthurt it will cause.
They will and the enemy that does it will defect if you have the Byleth ring.
>Edelgard can be summoned as a playable lord ghost
>Rhea is summoned by the villians as an evil dragon Ghost
How much asspain would this cause on Ganker? Weeks worth at least.
Not much asspain because the one with the vocal fanbase is Edelgard not Rhea
>arguing about dumb shit like this
>and 3hgays wonder why nobody likes them
>Emphasis in the IF though.
Don't worry we saw Corrin in the mural.
>HE'S IN
>villains just summon the heroes but they're just mind controlled because Kaga's fetish is so powerful it still influences FE plots

Please summon Edelgard please summon Edelgard
The only reason this bothers you is because you started with 3HRT and can't appreciate seeing classic FE characters.
3H is the only good FE
Sure thing troony, play a game with more than 10 different maps.
Let's not get ahead of ourselves here, fellow FE3H admirer.
Edelgard was a very compelling villain
hero*
dw I got you bro
She's an anti-hero at worst.
There are no true heroes in FE3H because the blood is in the water in it.
Man FE3H really is starting to blossom as a thing for the franchise.
I'm guessing that hasn't happened for decades with FE.
This, I'm a massive FE apologist but this is lame. Give Genealogy remake and I'll be happy
The game looks better than I expected but man I am so fricking tired of this past game pandering shit.
Ever since Awakening, they have been doing this CONSTANTLY (I guess to a lesser extent in Three Houses but still). Just let games stand on their own ffs.
Fricking this 1000%. Skipping this horrendous dogshit, and I've played every NA-released Fire Emblem at launch. And where the FRICK is the Advanced Wars reboot? We're getting this, AND two Front Mission remakes, but not the completed game that has been sitting on a shelf.
Advance Wars is shit. I don't want them wasting IS resources on that instead of FE.
>and I've played every NA-released Fire Emblem at launch
ISIS was doing this for years on the DS games. The fact of the matter is, 3 Houses being so good was a happy accident, probably someone from Koei with some sense that can't save the series anymore.
>3 Houses being so good
The shit I have to read in here. I don't know why you people are so up in yours pants about this game when you loved that trash heap, but I'm basically glad you're squirming in pain over it, because you deserve every fricking moment of suffering in your life for liking Three Houses.
The immense pain 3H brings on gays will never not be delicious.
>3 Houses
>bringing pain on gays
the irony.
It’s better than your favorite FE. Accept it.
This. I didn't think it was a mainline game after watching the trailer. Thought it was going to be $10 on the eshop
This. It could be neat if characters who would never interact otherwise got to interact, but it basically looks like we only get protags, and they're glorified weapon arts.
I agree, 3H proves that their characters are still amazing.
The plot and dialogue and use of them however...
>Posts Marianne
>Thinks his opinion matters
Smash Ultimate is the last main crossover for awhile, Nintendo is going to be launching Smash spinoffs focused on individual IPs. This game is just them using/making 3D models for the upcoming FE Smash game coming 2024.

its a japanese game
You don't even need to be a Jap, all you need are working ears to realize that English dubs are almost always complete shit
do you also play your western games in japanese?
Let me guess you play with English subtitles.
Looks like advanced trash. What the frick happened to Fire Emblem? The moment they went 3D CG and it shits the bed...

>this art gives us the chad FE1 Marth we wanted

GOD FRICKING DAMMIT
The modeling looks way fricking better than 3H but if they don't unshit the gameplay I'm not interested. Also lol'd at Awakening meets LotR but that's typical FE fare.
I am not buying this garbage generic game.
kek,
it's only like that now because games have been ripping it off for decades.
>gay shit was popular in 3H
Are you ready to see even more gay in Engage?
>back to proper base building it looks like
Hey, that might be neat. It was probably one of Fates' best parts.
I really hope the class system is more penned in this time around. The whole "anyone can hypothetically be anything, they'll just be bad at it sometimes" kind of homogenizes things in my opinion.
>game whose game play actually somewhat resembles Fire Emblem

Why do you pretend to have ever played a FE game before?
thoughts on Anna's new look?
Looks like a vtuber.
best anna since fates
Is she a hebe now?
Why does she look like a mesugaki now?
Not complaining of course.
Xenoblade 3 had not one but two Mesugakis in great need of correction. The age of MSGK is upon us.
SHES SO FRICKING CUTE WHAT THE FRICK. PLEASE let her be playable in this one
you're in luck, the leaks had her in the support list
Huh
You wouldn’t really fall for the cute israelite right anon?
STUPID MERCHANT.
Your time is over, hag.
Inb4 she can be summoned in FE:E
Boy I sure hope not.
>Artist misses the point as to why people hate Edeltard.
>The community when the villains summon her.
Imagine the shit storm.
They'll have the heroes summon Edelgard and the villains summon Rhea/Seiros, just watch.
>Artist complete forgets that Edelgard would try to kill the good dragon too
Alear should get out of there while he still can
Her husband is helping out Toothpaste-chan win a war.
Now now Edelgard, you know we don't practice Anti-Semitism here.
You must be the first person to hint the she's actually that exact thing to a degree.
Her names fricking El ay. Literally the israeli God.
The gloves are hot
Took a closer look at the trailer and it looks like getting hit by a weapon you have a disadvantage against on the Weapon Triangle doesn't insta kill or prevent counter attacks, but it does make you lose your weapon which is arguably even more fricked.
Probably also explains why they changed gauntlets to weaponless martial arts.
because it says break? might also mean guard break. perhaps you can end your turn by guarding if you don't attack, but being hit with a weapon with an advantage over yours breaks the stance.
>because it says break?
Its because the enemy's sword goes flying, but the UI says he's still got 2 low damage hits on the counter attack.
ah, I see it now. interesting.
I hope it's not a permanent weapon loss because that would be fricking busted for both sides.
This is a good first step, now getsome good map designs in the game and bring back the dungeons from SoV.
Then I will buy your game.
The original leak for this game said that SoV dungeons are coming back.
>3D Sigurd
This looks fricking moronic with all that clipping. What were they thinking.
That they got away with every other character model in 3H being clip city so no reason to improve here.
The way the character and Sigurd attack simultaneously? They're supposed to be ghostly that can phase in and out.
imagine still having any standards at all when it comes to this low effort franchise full of awful weebshit designs, masturbatory self-inserts, and waifu/husbandoism
rook-u rike-u shit-u
Will this outsell three houses?
Doubtful. People love drama while this looks like a 'Just have fun' type of game.
Yeah
>Normies will buy it regardless
>Oldgays will buy it because summons
>newbies will by because summons
>Three Houses will buy because summons
It's a win-win
will buy it because summons
3Houses got lot of positive feedback and franchise is doing better than ever, it going do fine.
Plus Mika is really popular on Japan.
I really love the other characters she's designed but Toothpaste-chan is just too far out for me
Heretic
Art really looks like generic anime style. Awakening Fates and Three Houses all look more soulful. Echoes just completely blows it out of the water.
That we haven't had Echoes' level of art again is such a loss. I'll get used to the style in this game, but god it'll take a while.
Oh missed this dude, nice
Echoes was nothing but ripoffs of Genealogy designs with some mandatory DIE thrown in.
I really wonder why they didn't keep Hidari around for at least another game. His art is top tier and his style fits perfectly in FE.
Not that I dislike the new guy, he's also top tier, but a little strange for FE I think.
maybe hes doing the fe4 remake. i cant imagine theyd use mika for that
>Awakening Fates
Yes
>Three Houses
No
My guess is right, these are obviously twins, the girl is the older twin!
there are always twins in fire emblem
Yep. Looks like these two are the 'Christmas cavaliers/etc./whatever' units of this game.
the girl is actually a cross-dressing boy
CALLING IT NOW. THIS IS FATES 2. AWFUL DOGSHIT STORY, SUPERB GAMEPLAY.
God forbid we go back to some class linearity and the weapon triangle after the unbalanced messed called 3H. I welcome this wholeheartedly.
>Class Linearity
I get wanting the Weapon Triangle back, but I don't get the want for Class Linearity. Branched Promotions and free class swaps help provide replay value and utility to casual and ironman play. It kind of sucks to theoretically be no longer to use entire movement types because of poor play or bad luck or horrid enemy placement/distribution.
Branched promotion is good, I just don't want the total nonlinearity of 3H back.
I'm not against having 1 or 2 reclass options like previous game. My problem is how fricking far 3H went with it.
I understand its overwhelming and 3H could have done better diversifying classes and how they feel, and maybe I'm just far too used to games like Final Fantasy Tactics and Tactics Ogre where you do have so much variety, but I will always appreciate the ability to tackle a problem with my limited resources in my own way. Not having to deal with what the game says I should or have to use. If I want Bow homie to punch a dude, I should have that power to.
I think Shadow Dragon/New Mystery had the best balance in regards to how reclassing could work: a limit on how many of one class you can have that increases as you gain more characters of that respective class.
They aren't cavs. The boy is a mage while the girl, Framme, is a War Cleric, having access to healing staves and martial arts.
>I will always appreciate the ability to tackle a problem with my limited resources in my own way
I get that appeal from limited reclasses. The fact that not everyone can do anything is meant to be the "resource limit".
>Framme, is a War Cleric, having access to healing staves and martial arts.
Framme best girl confirmed.
The thing with 11 and 12 was that the classes were actually balanced and different maps had different demands. It still had the problem of taking away any reason to use characters outside of the dozen with the best growths unless you lost one, but the ability to fine tune stats through reclassing did help keep more things potentially usable. In 3H, there is no scenario where you don't want to by on a wyvern if you're physical and a pegasus/horse if you're magic and the investment it takes to get there means you wouldn't be able to change to an equivalent-tier class even if you wanted to. Every other option is just there to trick newbies into gimping themselves.
3H went way too far with nonlinearity to the point where units felt very samey.
This. It was fricking stupid making everyone a wyvern rider and just steamrolling the game.
Pray tell, who put a gun on your head and forced you into making everyone a wyvern rider?
I did
>but I don't get the want for Class Linearity.
I just want each character to have a speific role in society, alright?
There's a balance between Class Linearity and the wacky amount of freedom that 3H did. Everyone being able to be anything and equip any weapon is fricking silly.
> Everyone being able to be anything and equip any weapon is fricking silly.
It's fricking rad. I loved turning Felix into a walking armory. Brave Sword, Inexhaustible, Luin, Iron Gauntlets, and magic all at once. Its a genuine treat to build up a unit to be able to handle any situation through my longterm decisions. Maybe it is silly, but it made me feel much more excitement then having to deal with figuring out to slot in a lance unit I want to use with the 4 other lance-locked users the game gave me...
A character will already be that by stat growth. Theoretically, a character can completely fail at doing their "intended" job and would be better as something else if their growths don't go the right way in one playthrough. The ability to respond to the game's whims within a balanced reason (such as the expenses and teaching time required to train a unit in 3H) is why I prefer a less limited class system.
I get the appeal of doing what Three Houses did with the "you can be anything" thing, but I think taking a clear cut mage character and brute forcing them into a swordsman path with relatively decent results, and then being allowed to do that with every character is a bit too much. Branching promotions are fine, heck give me 3 or even 4 possible paths if they're reasonable, but being able to hop around and be whatever, whenever is excessive. Shadow Dragon and New Mystery did it pretty well with a class limit, and characters having set class options and being optimal or even suboptimal in those option was a decent way of handling it.
>and characters having set class options and being optimal or even suboptimal in those option was a decent way of handling it.
Do note that the reason why characters were so open-ended in 3H was less because of the class system, moreso how basically every student was a growth unit, and the House Lords were doubled that (a major complaint with Edelgard is how she would make a great mage every run but her unique classes never captilized on them...). Ontop of the ease of gaining stat boosters through gardening to patch up any failures and the class boosts to stats and growths. There's clear optimizations for everyone, it just that by endgame their stats sort of just become all-encompassing beyond a few outliers like Dedue's defense or Mercedes's Resistance.
If more characters were more like Dorothea who had balanced but lowered growths or just raw specializations like Ignatz's insane Dex growth, it would be a lot more reasonable and closer to how Shadow Dragon handled that, but I guess they didn't want to undermine the whole Crest = Godhood ideas.
I'm solely against everyone having access to every class because every strategy devolved to taking Death / Fiendish / Darting Blow, or Vantage + Wrath. Everyone unit does become the same, apart from their voice lines, because of this.
I'm sick to death of conversations that tiptoe around the character's occupation.
Limited reclassing like Conquest is better than the garbage that was in 3H.
If I can't rape them both in the game then I'm not buying it

Here's the thing about Edel. Initially I thought she was going to be just your everyday strong womyn type that looked too perfect to be interesting.
But holy frick I was wrong in the end. She's possibly the most interesting female Empress I've seen in a game because she feels proper as an empress, like a historical determined power seeker that crushed impediments, including friends, without a second though. She's a female Caesar and she's perfectly done as a character.
What let's her down is the plot being held back by some periods of dull dialogue (I think they were rushed with the game, personally) around her. Then the whole school game-play, mimicking persona, was a little annoying at times and slow. The plot only kicks in after that period.
I think the character designs for this game are truly astonishing though because I expected nothing at all given how old and mainstream the franchise is. Boy I was wrong, it's some of the best designs I've seen in any form of media.
Edel never once feels like a stereotypical JRPG character though, so she stands out yet again from the other characters. She's got far more blood and grit and it's great.
I can see why people criticise JRPGs because this character shows just what potential they could have if they were treated with more respect and heaviness. She feels like an actual fricking empress.
The only thing you are right about is Edel not being a stereotypical JRPG character, and that doesn't make her any favors.
She's so moronic that she sides with her abusers for no reason at all. She's not morally or logically correct, as her goals wouldn't bring the results that she claimed to want, like making the lives of people better by getting rid of the crest system and the Church.
Edelgard's arc should be a redemption arc. It should be possible to reform her, as endorsing her ambitions is stupid.
>She's so moronic that she sides with her abusers for no reason at all.
It’s been three years now and people still parrot this moronic notion.
It's been three years and there are still unironic edelgays that think her character is deep, and not just completely moronic.
Anon the game literally explains why she’s allied with them and Hopes builds on why it was fit the better to ally with them then killing them from the get go.
Say what you want about the character’s personality or background but there is a reason why she did that.
And that """reason""" is fricking moronic.
Why?
This. At this point I'm convinced that those guys are the "I like strong women because I have mommy issues" type
Shw literally sides with them in every route except her own where you don't even get to fight them and the game just goes "and then we beat the moles" on a end credits blurb
>where you don't even get to fight them and the game just goes "and then we beat the moles" on a end credits blurb
That’s because the game was rushed out the ass anon.
Not him but you give Edelgard too much credit. Just say that strong women makes your peepee hard, stop making excuses
You're vastly understating how much her route holds her back. CF reads like really bad fan fiction, with characters acting incredibly out of character just to justify Edelgard's insanity. I can guarantee you that she'd be a far better received character if the game wasn't constantly trying to justify her actions.
>inb4 she's meant to be complex
She isn't, she just flips from black to white depending on if you side with her. There's no complexity, it's just two different Edelgards in two different worlds depending on who the writers want to have as the "good guy".
>You're vastly understating how much her route holds her back. CF reads like really bad fan fiction, with characters acting incredibly out of character just to justify Edelgard's insanity.
It really does suffer.
There's an obvious reason why it feels rushed and forced.
They must have spent so much fricking time on the school mingling shit that they never had time to properly tweak the plot.
That explains why the side route with Yuri felt a lot better than the other routes, I think.
Helps that Yuri's DLC gave you a static cast so they could build maps specifically around what they knew you'd have access to.
>I can guarantee you that she'd be a far better received character if the game wasn't constantly trying to justify her actions.
I disagree, they needed to emphasise why her tyranny exists more. They needed to emphasise why she wanted to end that dragon so much. Instead you feel like she kills Rhea as a mere aside, rather than a true focus. They needed to emphasise the tyranny of Rhea more, but not in a completely obvious way (show more indicators of how neglectful or apathetic she is to her kingdom) and then string it together to make it show why Edelgard is seeing nothing but red with her.
And then we needed far more catharsis with Edelgard and her power grab in anger too. Like with Shakespearean cartharsis with the way Shakespeare punishes hungry angry king protagonists.
But at the same time they really didn't empathise just how deceptive Rhea was. I consider her as evil as any of the main villains in the story. In fact, her and Edel are two people with somewhat evil intentions butting heads. The thing I think you're missing with this is that they should have problems in their world that make them like this. That makes them feel very very real to me. Like an actual Queen or Empress.
Having them both mere Queens of evil just doesn't work. It doesn't fit with their methodical logical minds, albeit blinded by the tethers of the universe and their own impulsive ambitions.
They want total power, they don't see themselves as tyrants as much as they should because they feel they have no choice but to ignore that.
Not him but explaim to me how is Rhea evil?
I only played Dimitri's route and I didn't really pay much attention to Rhea, but from what I've seem she doesn't seem evil at all.
And no, I don't think endorsing the Crest system is evil in itself.
Evil might be stretching it, but it is confirmed that Rhea does execute and assassinate dissenters of the church (even if they do kind of deserve it...), does stifle technological progress (the people of Fodlan would have discovered petrol without the church in the way, even after the technological reset Sothis vs. the Argathans caused), censor wrongthink or "salacious material", and overall apathetic to the ills of the system they themselves created.
Rhea does have a heart and everything she's done is less for herself and more for protecting what remains of her shattered family and/or psyche, and the church and the faith it creates provides an important service to Fodlan, but it is clear that she, at the very least, should step down and let someone else run Fodlan. Even she agrees that she's been doing this for too long and is not the best at organizing it all. This is a major reason why in endings she survives, she retires to the Red Canyon.
speaking of women that must be stopped...
someone stop the white-haired cougar from taking more shotas' virginities!
>and overall apathetic to the ills of the system they themselves created
>does stifle technological progress
This is the only thing that I would consider evil, even so it is contingent on context. For example, one could argue that it would have been a good act (even if naive) to prevent the creation of preservatives, as it trivialises sexual discipline, which is necessary for more stable relations between men and women.
In other words, Rhea or the Church aren't evil at all.
Unrelated, but why is it that in japanese media it's always a godess, and never a god?
As far as I know, japanese mythology isn't matriarchal, so why the boner for the idea of a godess?
Because men are more inclined to want to worship someone who looks like this
She's not evil in the same way TWISTD is, which is why I say it is a stretch. It's pretty clear she's supposed to be morally ambiguous and ask the question to the player if something like the Archbishop NEEDS to be something that exist for Fodlan.
I love Rhea (and her ass), she's a very intriguing as a person and as the character of the Church of Seiros itself. Edelgard can be something of a hit-or-miss, even if you like her ideas, but I feel like they got everything just about right with Rhea, insane mother-daughter-grandmother incest resurrection plot notwithstanding...
>Unrelated, but why is it that in japanese media it's always a godess, and never a god?
Men are boring. You have the power to make an entire religion, why make a dude when you already live in a reality filled with male deities and religious figures?
No one can stop you from making an overpowered god wife with a great ass, anon!
>japanese mythology isn't matriarchal
It is, Amaterasu is female.
Tsukoyomi is male albeit
She's evil in the sense that any monarch is evil.
But she is also pitiable in her desperation to ease the situation by maintaining a status quo.
But then you see it from the eyes of those abused by this status quo and it's really just a battle of people with pretty vile aspirations in the sense for their general disregard of the general public. It's two ends of the spectrum in a tug of war with no compromise.
But that said, this act in pic was completely vile and evil.
>She's evil in the same way any monarch is evil
Stop trying to use real life politics as a measure you sperg, by this logic literally every FE main character is evil
>any monarch is evil
I don't agree with this claim
Rhea did nothing wrong, anon.
I disagree, she blatantly ignored things to the point of impacting Edelgard in a severe case of child abuse and experimentation that was rampant in the kingdom and that is why she was determined to get rid of Rhea. Rhea was determined to keep up the stalemate and have people becoming absorbed in her cult of personality.
Which is why I think Rhea is underrated as a character.
I always got the sense she was completely nuts and her sacrificing a town like nothing because of her shame of being defeated proves just how shallow she truly was.
And ironically, that made her feel real and truly interesting as a character for me. She was boring before that moment.
>I always got the sense she was completely nuts and her sacrificing a town like nothing because of her shame of being defeated proves just how shallow she truly was.
that route is non-canon
Again, Rhea certainly isn't perfect but to try and claim her as evil is a pretty blatant falsehood, especially when people try and then claim Edelgard is good. Using Edelgard's route is also not the best argument for this because that is a route where Rhea has totally lost it, unlike in any of the other routes.
Anon Rhea isn't omniscient. You're literally blaming her for something the dubsteppers do.
>Anon Rhea isn't omniscient
And yet she had this obsession about her having the will of the Goddess or some shit.
To me that is her flaw. Her puppetry of the masses and the use of the church as her tool.
But to be frank, I think she and Edelgard are actually far more similar than you'd think at first glance. The difference is, Rhea's power is in decline. Her dynasty is falling.
Can you stop writing like a homosexual? No one cares about your reddit essay
>Black person I can't read, stop typing so much
Or just learn to read, Black person.
I'll agree at least that Rhea and Edelgard mirror each other. They're far more alike than Edelgard would ever care to admit.
Perhaps but I think there are some key differences between the two, perhaps the biggest being shown in how Rhea is willing to relinquish control and admit to her faults. Edelgard is never willing to do the same, at least not in 3 Houses.
Rhea was litterally trying to pass her position onto us the whole game because she knew she was becoming crazy like all old dragons.
How the frick was she evil?
>Rhea was litterally trying to pass her position onto us the whole game because she knew she was becoming crazy like all old dragons.
I also got that hint, but I was emphasising that they were merely evil in a Machiavellian sense and an ambitious sense.
But that doesn't mean she didn't treat the union in disrespect.
Why do I love talking about the politics of this game?
It's plot is a mess, but here I am rambling more and more about this universe.
God this game really is a confusing clusterfrick of great writing, okish writing and bland writing.
I wouldn't call anything in 3H great, let alone any of the writing.
It's a game that wanted to be a deep and nuanced political struggle but it also wanted to shove in objectively evil and good and bad guys and it was being written by people that aren't really that bright.
Nah I think that's unfair, because we're clearly always debating it and what we think of it.
It's doing something right and we just can't work out where all the holes needed to plug lie.
And I think it's got hints of ambition with what it wants to do, just problems with execution.
You're dealing with a very old mainstream franchise so it's interesting how weird it turned out and how much it drew in newbies to the franchise.
Problem is that Rhea was never really portrayed as evil, but rather as a somewhat morally-ambiguous and broken but ultimately well-meaning figure who could potentially go evil in a worst-case scenario. That worst-case scenario being the Edelgard route, which is why Rhea is perfectly fine in the others. The bigger problem is that the devs have been rather flippant on this due to their apparent love for Edelgard. It says a lot that you kill her in Claude's route in Hopes for what feels like very shaky reasoning.
3H's designs are competent, but its actual art is really bland and stiff looking.
Like, Nemesis is a great design, but compare the quality of his face on his portrait to his face in Heroes.
He just looks like a mildly discontent Grandpa in 3H.
and then his mugshot in Heroes actually gives him the "Anal Fricker of the abyss" energy that he's supposed to have.
I think Flame Emperor was the best villain design in the series and I'm disappointed Edelgard ditches the mask.
It's such a fricking waste. I really wish there was a way to save her from her stupid ambitions.
Manleth is kinda bland but works both as an emotionless mercenary and as a professor (in Hopes he really pulls it off).
Femleth has always been an aberration of nature, the eyes, the outfit, the humongous breasts which don't even look good...
Yeah, her giant breasts are so ugly! You should post a bunch of pictures of them, ewwww I would hate that so much!
Yeah. Big breasts look good on Hilda, Mercedes, Marianne, even that hag of Manuela. Femleth ones are terrible, they look like balloons.
>moronic neet appealing fantasy over low fantasy
I miss Kaga, thank God for Vestaria Saga even if it looks worse
You could always become rich and give him a lot of money to upgrade the engine and add things like better grafix and QoL.
Fire Emblem trannies enjoy this series. They need their own containment board. I don't want to see this shit. Gonna have to update filters.
>Grima may return
HAND ME THE HOPIUM!
My guess is that Alear is some sort of amalgamation of all the other FE lords and the split hair is because blue and red are the two most common hair colors for lords/lord-adjacent main characters
Or it's because blue and red is the switch's signature colour scheme.
Well that's the meta reason but there's likely going to be an in-universe bullshit reason too
Can't wait to summon all Three Houses characters and ignore everyone else.
>the only FE game you can buy is three houses
>"let's keep selling the series on characters from games that were never localized"
Why do they think this is a good idea still? Is japan just that big of a market? Will us western fans ever get anything good?
No we won't because you bastards let SoV flop
The only games that this truly applies to are 4 and 5 because Roy has the smash bros buff. Every other Lord's series has been localised in some form.
3/12 never got localized. 4 and 5 are the great holy grail of kaga you all complain about never having again anyway.
WTF does smash have to do with anything. It doesn't explain who roy is or what he did.
Good luck playing any of the other games if you don't know how to pirate
I feel like I'm the only one in the world that seems to prefer the new art direction and MCs to 3 houses. Holy shit is Reddit/Twatter throwing a huge fit. They're even emailing Nintendo to change the designs
>ONLY PERSON!
read the threads.
female one looks better atleast, and generally the girls that showed up in the trailer are very nice. just let the woman have their meltdown.
I hope it works. I have never been physically repulsed by a protagonist's character design before. What were they thinking
You are the only who likes it, Anon.
Cry more.
The girls look fine. But a male characters with colorful hair is just fricking ridiculous
>just let the woman have their meltdown.
>implying most men don't play as the male protagonist
>I feel like I'm the only one in the world that seems to prefer the new art direction and MCs to 3 houses.
It is a better artsyle but it doesn't mean it's good for a fire emblem game
any more pics of the cute brown girl in the bottom?
I thought Toothpaste-chan's breasts were bigger in the leaks.
I just think the split hair colours is fricking dumb
Would have been better to make them just a full redhead
Mika Pikazo's art is absolutely fantastic and I'm not gonna let jaded Twitter gays crying about "muh fantasy realism" tell me its not.
3H was way too washed out and I'm glad we're finally getting some color again.
I like her art tbh, the only issue is the dual color hair
COLOR BAD
WE NEED GRITTY REALISM LIKE GAME OF THRONES
Art looks way better than the garbage known as 3H.
I didn’t like 3H either but this shit looks moronic even for FE
Any argument besides the MC having hair with mixed color?
Using all those previous lords as mechanic that cheapens the feel of the game.
You haven't even touched the game to say it cheapens the feel, we barely know how it will work, how they will matter to the story.
I'm already thinking on clearing without using them and how possible will it be.
>toothpaste chan isnt real its just a chink mobile game
wonder how the leak deniers are feeling
>Horrid character designs
>Most generic plot imaginable
>moronic gimmick
>Stupid fricking monastery sections are returning
Have I missed anything?
Probably better gameplay and performance/visuals than 3 Houses
It would be difficult not to achieve that.
I don't know why you're describing 3H
Fishing confirmed
Game will be 10/10
the area looks so much more streamlined, everything is close by. hope it isnt too big
hopefully they've learned their lesson from the monastery and, like 3 hopes, make the hub zone like a circle
lmaoing at all the FE fans seething over Gust art style.
Where are the cute dragon girls?
Dragon girls deserve a good dicking.
I'm sorry sir, it's time for you to leave.
THERE ARE NO CUTE DRAGON GIRLS.
JUST STUPID DRAGONS.
>Swimsuit in Japanese trailer but not in the English one
It's over...
Isn't the Swimsuit the One-Piece? It just being short for One-Piece swimsuit?
It says フレア水着 which if you look up on google images gives nothing but these frilly two-piece bikinis so I don't think they'd translate that to one-piece
Well. A フレア水着 is by no means a two-piece necessarily. 水着 is just swimsuits of all kinds and フレア is but a style and does not translate to two-piece.
And you're right that it doesn't translate to One-Piece, but if said swimsuit was to actually be a One-Piece, it's not that unimaginable that they renamed it One-Piece.
And I mean what else would the One-Piece be? A gymnastic leotard?
>And I mean what else would the One-Piece be? A gymnastic leotard?
A dress
Since when were dresses ever called one-pieces? They're all one-pieces.
So the seemingly simple story premise is actually just a veneer for the warcrime kino edgefest that the game will actually be right?
I hope they stay as far away from 3 Trannies as possible.
>fire emblem n-gage
we won nokia bros
KNEEL
These both have dogshit designs. They are even both made by Koei Techmo. Stupidest fricking rivalry I've seen
>Finally getting the FExSMT game we were promised
I wonder if any characters can use any rings, being able to beef up one of my weaker units with a Marth assist would be based.
I would assume that the fusion stuff is character specific though since allowing anyone to fuse with any emblem would be a nightmarish amount of work. Also would be weird to see someone like Lyn fuse with a man.
Although I still think the gimmick is dumb, I gotta admit I'm curious how it will generally work. I feel probably only a few units will be able to use them in general, like that mage girl who can fuse with Celica.
Looks like shit. Just a console version of FEH. Wouldn't be surprised to see gacha shit in this, either. Even has fricking UI elements ripped right out of Heroes.
We already know it has gacha. Single player style like Xenoblade 2.
Why? That style of progression fricking blows.
Looks better than Three Houses trash
So it's Awakening... again?
Hate the artstyle, the voice acting, the character designs, but frick it, it has Lyn, its a day one.
I fricking hate everything about it, but I'll do it for my queen.
>the character designs
Toothpaste's design obviously isn't going to be to everyone's tastes, but I thought that the rest of the characters in the trailer looked cool.
honestly besides Pepsi-chan all the characters looked good. Way better than the travesty that TH was.
>Way better than the travesty that TH was
To be fair, everyone hated Three Houses until it hit us with the time skip designs.
>time skip designs
Those are even worse
I think the avatar would look ok if the hair was just one color. Still not to my taste but FE isn't going to move away from this modern anime look anytime soon.
This is why this garbage is going to sell regardless of quality.
It's got me buying.
Love the artstyle, the voice acting, the character designs, but frick it, it has Lyn, its a day two.
What if she is wearing pants again anon?
Yes, even censored, Lyn is Lyn
Looks better than shit houses fujoshit and leak deniers BTFO
is this gonna be the same shit as soul lackers 2 with miwa where everyone hates the art but there's always some fanboy going MUH TASTE MUH POPULAR ARTIST
Yes, there's already an autist. Filter 3hrt to improve thread quality
BEHOLD!
>summon old characters
Damn, guess I need to play the old games sooner rather than later.
What's a good place to start, Shadow Dragon?
Skip anything older than Awakening. Tellius games are ok but they're a fricking slog.
Just play Ike's game, he's the only friend you'll need.
SD is fun but ugly. gba games are good starting points and their sprites aged better
SD isn't a bad place to start, good QoL and gameplay. If you don't mind the graphics I would recommend it.
>Bond Level
So I guess there's no supports with the ghosts then.
>Self-Improver
>that look
I am neither a girl nor am I gay. But I've got a good hunch that girls will go crazy for this bloke.
You could probably argue that Bond Level is the support. They will probably just have generic dialogue in the hub map though. They showed Marth floating around being available to talk to, but that might be because he's story important.
>You could probably argue that Bond Level is the support.
Considering that bonds can reach level 10 I seriously doubt that unless this game an insane amount of support conversations.
>breakable walls
>limited ballistas
>map design looks decent
gameplay gods we might finally be coming home
one of his units has Julia ringed?
It looks like Micaiah.
I don't see it, Micaiah's hair is pure white, and that girl hair is purple-ish.
We already know who the lords they are using are based on the opening ring.
FE1 : Marth
FE2: Celica
FE4: Sigurd (Likely to have one that uses a horse, for some reason he is also the lance rep so they don't have to use ephraim)
FE5: Leif
FE6: Roy
FE7: Lyn
FE8: Eirika
FE9: Ike with an Axe so that they don't have to use Hector
FE10: Micaiah
FE Awakening: Lucina with a bow so Lyn could use Mani Katti instead of a weapon that actually makes sense on her such as Mulagir
FE Fates: Female Corrin
FE3H: Male Byleth
except 2 mages, 1 bow user, and `1 lance user that is also a sword user they all use swords.
You better hope the characters people actually like are DLC or something.
>You better hope the characters people actually like
Every character you listed are the most popular characters from their games. Yeah, it sucks that Lucina is the rep of Awakening or that Hector doesn't seem to be in, but you're absolutely mental if you think that list won't please most people.
they clearly made the list in order to keep a 6/6 gender split and some of the weapon choices made where so they could stick a certain character in with a specific weapon.
I don't doubt that Lyn was picked as the premier shill pick for fe7 and that they wanted her to use a katana but you cannot tell me shit like eirika is more popular than ephraim, or that people that play fe give a single frick about roy, or celica is more popular than alm, etc
>or that people that play fe give a single frick about roy
But he's our boy.
>eirika is more popular than ephraim
Yes
>or that people that play fe give a single frick about roy
This is true, but Roy is still super popular because of Smash.
>or celica is more popular than alm
Yes
this image isnt indicative of eirika being more popular than ephraim, 1000 people in a gachashit phone game catering to coomers is nothing.
Same with Celica and Alm, who aren't even on this fricking image.
You have to be fricking kidding me if you think smash players will ever play a mainline FE.
>Same with Celica and Alm, who aren't even on this fricking image.
Echoes wasn't out yet, so nobody knew who they were except for a few Japs. When the second CYL came around Celica fricking crushed Alm.
Our boy Ephriam has been robbed though.
Hectorbros we were FRICKING ROBBED
>Every character you listed are the most popular characters from their games.
If that were true we'd have Camilla for Fates and Dimitri for 3H.
>Dimitri for 3H
Delusional.
Fine, Edelgard if you live in a troony safespace, the point is it sure as hell isn't Byleth.
>Dimitri
Dimitri and Claude are pretty badass actually.
What I like is that, like Edelgard, they have monstrous Machiavellian ambition.
I feel like they could different the sword ones by giving different properties, maybe? Like maybe a rapier, magic sword, crit sword, mounted sword, etc.
>DLC
That's not cancerous enough, it's gonna be full-on gacha.
>the utter look of disgust on Sigurd's face
>why the frick am I a ring
>I wish I were fricking ghost deirdre
>it's hot in here
>my feet hurt
>When you use an Emblem at Bond Level 1 they just insult the character they're paired with
Was there a three houses version of DISGUSTING?
>Noble class
So will that be a "base" class they promote out of then? I want to see how the new class system works.
Why does he look like a gay version of Dimitri?
>a gay version of Dimitri
trick question? is he a gay version of a gay, so he's hetero?
>canter
Is this a proper translation of canto?
canto has been translated as canto already. if theyre using canter it will probably have a different effect
can't wait for Cantest
does that make Arden Cantless?
>max bond with Celica
Are you guys ready to cuck Alm?
Idk why people piss and moan over supports and marriage. I can live without them but i wouldn't mind their inclusion
Kagagays that moan at everything that is not a 1:1 copy of FE4
?t=89
Why is the voice acting so FRICKING BAD
>Lady Lyn as the representative
So will we get a full, proper Lyn Mode for the FE7 remake?
nope
but please buy more Lyn pngs in our gambling game
Nice breasts.
>Nice breasts.
Give thanks to cuboon.
JUST REMAKE FE7 YOU FUUUUCKS AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
>he still thinks they'll make remakes.
Anon, I've been hearing these "remakes" leaks since 2017. It's not happening. They aren't remaking any new games. It's time to let go.
Give it time, Engage was rumored to be done since last year so they're working on something.
Mion, look, it's you!
I hope everyones ready for Toothpaste to be playable in smash 6!
Why Lyn though?
hmmm, wonder why.
>the legendary and Valentines right next to each other
LMAO
Giving her to Cuboon was the best thing that could have happened for her.
>no mommies in the trailer
That alone makes me want to skip it, but the main character and ghost crossover shit isn't helping whatsoever.
>Where are my old hags?
Sony might be more your speed.
>if the female cast sucking my avatar's dick aren't all under 20 I can't take it
Yawn, nu-animegays are so boring.
Fusing with Celica lets you warp.
>Make cute girl that you waifu'd fuse with Celica
>Frick her
>You're fricking two cute girls at the same time
You know what, this gimmick is starting to grow on me already. This will be the best fire emblem ever.
1.Will the MC get to frick cute girls like in 3H?
2.Will they keep the gay shit to the minimum?
That's all i care about.
>Will the MC get to frick cute girls like in 3H?
Its a safe bet that MC can.
>Will they keep the gay shit to the minimum?
The game is all about men fusing with other men and girls fusing with girls. This is the gayest FE yet.
The toothpaste hair is so stupid it almost distracts from how they're combining Heroesshit and Gary Stu MUshit. Somewhere deep down there was still hope that they could pull a 180 after the 3H dumpster fire, but it seems like it's going to be even worse somehow.
>Gary Stu MUshit
>post awakening image
(lol
>thinking FE would get any better after the weeb resurgence with Awakening and post games
lol
LMAO
LMFAOOOOOOO!!!
Two-toned red-and-blue Wild Cherry Pepsi pubic hair
looks better than 3 homosexuals but thats not saying much
disgusting english voice
is it me or has the art gone way downhill since awakening? this is soulless generic anime shit.
Pretty much, any design that isn't "generic anime set in highschool" isn't allowed anymore.
the only way FE could ressurect and live again was through generic weeb moe shit. the irony, a shame really.
>the only way FE could ressurect and live again was through generic weeb moe shit.
>Old FE: Why didn't you just... kill me?
>New FE: You don't fear death... You welcome it. Your punishment must be more severe.
Awakening started the trend you Black person. But yes, this is a big step down.
>this is soulless generic anime shit.
Sounds like Fire Emblem.
this. play langrisser or shining force instead.
I play Langrisser mobile
>why is FE using the generic anime art style of this era instead of the generic anime art style of the old era like it used to use
kek
Why do mindbroken weebs always use this argument? Yes, old Japanese games often did borrow tropes and it's style from old anims but the difference is that old anime on average looked unique and dignified most of the time, modern anime character design (post 2012) is the embodiment of soulless otakushit, and many well known anime directors would agree.
>old anims but the difference is that old anime on average looked unique and dignified most of the time,
you quite literally have no idea what you are talking about KEK
Black person pull up a list of every 2022 anime and tell me I'm wrong. I'm not saying every anime back in the day was an artistic marvel, but I can conclusively say it has gotten worse.
listen bro I know you are early twenties and have been brain rotted by memes but on average anime has always been extremely generic season to season with a few stand outs. just because you weren't alive or around during the early/mid 2000s doesn't mean 99% of the shit coming out wasn't soulless generic trash just like it is today. if I take the strand outs from any period I can make a collage of shit that looks unique but thats literally just taking a drop of the shit that actually released in that time and is disingenuous. again stop falling for Gankerermin and twitter memes it makes you look extremely low IQ
Don't backpedal, we're talking designs at the moment, everyone already knows the Japanese can't write. Just look at the summer 2022 anime and tell me I'm wrong.
im talking art style you moronic homosexual. how about you go actually watch old anime instead of being a shit posting moron that actually falls for bait images. most 90s anime had shit art direction with terrible designs same with the 2000s and 2010s. you are too low iq you realize that you are just seeing the good ones because they have been cultivated by people actually swimming through shit over the years for your enjoyment. the reason you don't know about how shitty it always has been is because you weren't watching season to season like you are now because you weren't around for that era like you are now
You keep trying to catch me in this gotcha but I've already said the problem has gotten worse, not that it never existed. It's paint by numbers to the extreme, and I'm over it. You can cope however you want but every japanese vidya IP which isn't focused on a more realistic style like Yakuza or Elden ring looks almost the exact fricking same. Modern phenomena like the isekai boom just confirm my point.
>the problem has gotten worse,
no its the same proportionally as it always has been you are just a zoomer homosexual
If we pulled up a list of every anime released each year it would have the same % of trash today as it was 20 years ago.
It's just that mostly good shit gets remembered so it seems like [current year] is worse rather than you only remembering the good parts.
Design anon, design.
Anime was filled with samey designs back then too.
Hidari on Echoes was the high point.
better than the yaoi 3h art, but still what the frick is this shit
just bring kozaki back or the series will NEVER flourish again
Eh? I've literally just started with 3H because the mere designs of them drew me. I think the older ones are good too, but I think 3H has amazing designs.
Though Kronya was neglected in the end in the actual game, completely ignored.
There's a good balance of moe and grit.
It's not like Xenoblade 2, which is nothing but dull dumb moe or girls with breasts.
If you do sexy, you gotta make sure not to overdo it or it comes off as just silly if it's not done in a Kill Bill sense.
because she's dead
>Create a pure sex design that everyone loves
>Give her damn near no screen time, and make her sole purpose be a plot device to kill a character in the stupidest way possible
I reckon ay.
I'm actually kinda mad about her treatment.
They even could have fixed this with the sequel and it's still not there (from what I can tell so far in it).
So I'm stuck with head canon.
>sequel
3 Copes is not a sequel, it's fanfiction
dicky twins
We already have lewds of the game, open at your own risk
What other FE-like games are there these days (that aren't garbage)?
I don't like how round the faces of the girls are.
When you shave off a bit of their cheeks they look a lot better.
Should've hired Yasuda instead.
oh frick she's broken

Goddamnit, I had great hopes for the series after 3H

bright colors and shameless fanservice isn't the definition of FE...i think
>nooo, I need "muh Church is evil"
I'm so sorry you won't have your students calling you sensei and saying they really need you together with them after graduation.
Frick off Edelgay
Will they expand on the dating mechanics. Because of how much Ganker talked about the pairings, I expected way more of it when I played 3H.
It probably will be more of the same, unfortunately. At best, they will allow you have children, but that didn't amount to much in the past
Romance in FE is nothing more than a bonus. It isn't a key feature, so there's no need for improvement.
However, I think relationships in general should be a key feature, and since romance is part of that... well, you get what I mean.
It was already perfectly fine in 3H. Supports were for the most part fine and developed the characters enough outside of a clear gimmick, and they stopped at A so no sudden marriages that come out of nowhere except for Byleth.
At most they could just polish it without turning the game into an all out dating sim which would be a waste.
I agree, expect the ending was shallow af.
At the very least we should be able to take our love interestes into actual dates
I doubt it. We are luck if we get a kissing scene
>Will they expand on the dating mechanics
If we are talking about relationships, their priority should be to make companion deaths meaningful, as opposed to just make the characters pretend the dead ones never existed.
That said, I don't think anyone would really complaim if they improved the dating mechanics
There's always someone shipgay in every single JRPG thread. And not just on Ganker, but basically everywhere there's talk about a JRPG, there will be questions about whether or not it has romance.
I have always thought that very few people care about it, but now I'm wondering if that's really true.
Romance in JRPG used to be basically a given in the past, as far as I'm concerned.
There are not many genres that feature romance, so I guess the few players that care about it flock to JRPG as a result
Romance in games is the type of stuff that people don't know that they want until they get to experience it
women will only play jrpgs with dating mechanics
Wrong, female nerds have always been obsessed with JRPGs, dating mechanics are just a cool bonus. Read some 90s shojo manga, the mangaka will write comments between chapters about their personal lives and they almost always sperg hard over JRPGs.
ok, I meant to say western women
>he never met a hardcore FF or Pokemon fangirl in an American or Europan anime con in the 2000s
You'll never understand.
ok, I meant to say modern western women
Are you moronic? We're only in 2022 now. These young teenage girls grew to be adult women with a disposable income who would kill others for their favorite games. One of my friends is obsessed with FF7 and Kingdom Hearts, as soon as she got her current fulltime job she started "building her FF7 shrine" by spending a shit ton of money on merchandises, I saw her room once and it's terrifying. You'll never reach her level of obsession.
Okay well I'm a zoomer (over 18) and I've only seen one girl who was into jrpgs and she was kind of a b***h.
Oh god, a little baby talking about things he doesn't know. Go do your homework. Anyway from my own observation, female nerds are way, way more dedicated than male nerds, and they manage that while being far less autistic.
>less autistic
lmao
Autistic male nerds will replay the same game over and over again to participate in speedrun events and will call themselves girls because they like wearing ugly as frick maid outfits while jerking off. Female nerds who come across as autistic without being diagnosed as such will just post a lot about their husbandos, about how they liked or disliked some plot points and characters, how they appreciate small details in storytelling, OSTs, designs, gameplay, etc. and how they're looking forward or not to a sequel. At the very worst they'll play the Sims over and over again with different characters/family. Definitely not the same thing.
Looking at the CERO rating, it doesn't feature the love tag all the other recent mainline titles have, so there might not be any romance at all.
Nah they wouldn't be that moronic
Nah they wouldn't be this based.
The leak did show there was no S rank even with MC. God, if it actually has no romance on top of one route and the comeback of the weapon triangle, this will unironically be the closest a FE game has come to going back to it's roots.
Why isn't Edelgard playable?
everyone complaining about the art when all i'm looking at is how much the gameplay and systems seem to be improved over 3H
The game is not out Black person, muh systems matter jackshit without proper design
the ui and menu is already miles above 3h
i know but still
i think i'll buy this game and enjoy it
>Ganker
>caring about the actual gameplay
lol
Anons are just here to shitpost about the surface level stuff.
>much the gameplay and systems seem to be improved over 3H
To be fair it's not a very high bar for improvement
>Gameplay gets a massive upgrade
>Everyone itt shits on the game because the MC has dumb hair
This board is gay
Ganker doesn't play videogames, they cry about vapid nonsense 24/7
I refuse to believe there's much more than butthurt 3H gays being too angry at this. All the gameplay changes we've heard and from the leaks seems great to me. And the school setting used in 3H also sounded like a terrible joke back then, way worse than the main character having silly hair.
gets a massive upgrade
What they changed about it? so far i have only saw people speculating over the break mechanic.
Combining what we know from the leak and this trailer
>New Emblems mechanic has a lot of shit going on, obviously we don't know how the whole thing works yet but its certainly deeper than being a glorified pair up system like people thought
>Brought back the weapon triangle and made it much more significant in battles
>Dungeons from SoV are coming back
>Calendar is gone
>Main hub has been condensed, so no more running around a school for way too fricking long
>Multiple maps/hubs to explore
>One route
>Weapon Durability is gone
>A character can have up to 7 abilities, maybe more
>Super moves like Warp Ragnarok
>Looks like there's some kind of sub-class thing going on, noticed that instead of just "Mage" characters are being labeled as Noble/Mystic
There's also other changes like how gauntlets are now martial arts, better performance, better graphics, etc.
like there's some kind of sub-class thing going on, noticed that instead of just "Mage" characters are being labeled as Noble/Mystic
i'd bet anything thats just isis this time deciding to give the different types of the trainee class different names. theyll be the regular fe classes once they promote
>Looks like there's some kind of sub-class thing going on, noticed that instead of just "Mage" characters are being labeled as Noble/Mystic
To be honest, I think that will just be the classes for the other special characters that can also use the rings, from that map, I noticed there was quite a bit of player units without a ring equipped.
>One route
This is so massive I don't understand how most seem to ignore it.
Instead of being one game split into three shitty games, it will be just one proper actual game.
But I liked the idea of branching routes.
The problem was more that they weren't all that well executed, but I appreciated the attempt.
Sure it wasn't Fallout NV, but it at least tried within a mainstream franchise.
They should actually just go with one, then add more as expansions. That would be ok, because we all know large companies are prone to time constraints and focus issues. FE3H's side route was actually pretty good (largely because Yuri was well done as a cheeky devilish sneak).
>But I liked the idea of branching routes.
Exactly. You like the idea of it. Nu Emblem has consistently missed when it comes to multiple paths. Three Houses even had two games with multiple paths, and both shit the bed hard in the writing department. It would be literal insanity to continue with multiple paths.
Them rushing 3H is what I’m turn made Hopes’ plot shit, not because it was multiple routes.
>One route
B-but how will we shitpost about who's side is more canon now?
>>New Emblems mechanic has a lot of shit going on, obviously we don't know how the whole thing works yet but its certainly deeper than being a glorified pair up system like people thought
Can you guys elaborate on that a bit more? Is this some sort of "you do more damage if you pair up your character with his romantic interest" mechanic? The only FE game I've played is 3H so I don't know what kinds of precedent you guys expect
fatesawkening pair up had the lead get bigger bonuses as their support rank with the partner went up. the bond mechanic in engage looks different, especially given that the trailer showed one pair with a bond level of 10 which clearly isnt the same as support ranks. the trailer made it look a lot like both the lead and emblem character attack, and the emblem character has their own skills which probably confer some benefit to the lead. exactly how it works and what bond level does we dont know yet
After seeing your pic I have one complaint about the characters in the trailer, they're making male characters more effeminate again all the time.
It's like how DQ11 made their protagonist this weakish looking dude and then you meet up with Hendrik later and you think "why the frick don't they make male protags like this in Japan anymore?".
Dude felt bad ass old school DBZ Toriyama. I wanted to be that dude, not this twink.
If you go effeminate male lead, you might as well make it Yuri who is fine too as his own thing. But at the same time I saw Jeralt and thought about what a wasted design it was. I understand that most people don't look like Jeralt, Hendrik or Goku, but to me that doesn't matter, they feel badass.
>Dungeons from SoV are coming back
Ugh
>One route
Thank the lord.
Forgot to mention that BLD is back along with a SP meter.
>Not sure who can equip rings yet, might be a noble-only thing or maybe everyone can equip the things
>Equipping a ring gives the character a stat buff
>Also gives the character a follow-up hit, everything so far is pretty similar to pair up/adjutants
>But there's also the type bonus which grants a character additional abilities
>Grants access to this break mechanic that
Took a closer look at the trailer and it looks like getting hit by a weapon you have a disadvantage against on the Weapon Triangle doesn't insta kill or prevent counter attacks, but it does make you lose your weapon which is arguably even more fricked.
Probably also explains why they changed gauntlets to weaponless martial arts. was talking about
>Bond levels, not sure what those do yet
>Then there's the fusion stuff that changes the appearance of the character
>Also grants additional abilities
>Different kinds of attacks are available
Did they showed weapon durability, if not then maybe SP would be used for the combat arts
or just pull a Disgaea and its used to get skills
god I wish I was anna
It looks like durability got booted, I couldn't find it anywhere in the trailer. Usually it would show up on the pre-attack screen.
>durability is gone
Thank god.
The leak said weapon durability is gone, and the leak was right about everything else.
leak said also that toothpaste chan will change her hair color
SP wouldn't be used for Combat Arts, it would more than likely be used for buying/upgrading skills for your characters like in Heroes. Else...300 is an incredibly high number for a series that prefers to keep them in the double-digits when it comes to resource tracking.
Durability is gone and Magic takes HP like in Echoes (Celine takes 1 damage when casting Warp Ragnarok). I think Combat Arts might be attached to individual Rings over weapon skills, such as with Sigurd's Override or Celica's Warp Ragnarok.
On this note, it seems like there's some kind of charge system based on the Rings. You can see 2s and 3 around the portrait art of the Emblems. This might be the number of times you can use their unique skills.
I don't like this ring thing. It looks gay as frick
>Gameplay gets a massive upgrade
Show me the gameplay details you massive homosexual.
You can't tell shit about the gameplay from that trailer. Go on, give me explicit details of what's changed and how it's better.
>weapon triangle matters again, possibly more than before
>Can't freely change classes
>instead of pairing units for massive buffs you equip rings that give small bonuses and one skill
>the map they show with the mage fusing with Celica looks a lore more complex than usual
Just a few things that already make it a massive step up from 3H.
the only gameplay improvements required would be to roll back everything they've done since the GBA era
What upgrades?
Regardless, shit character design is definitely a detriment no matter how you look at it.
I care less about the designs and more about the unnecessary nostalgia baiting that they centered the entire game around apparently.
>Post YFW the plot is inspired by LotR
Trailer made me finally start playing FE4. Any tips I should know going in?
save at the start of every turn (can do it before you move a unit)
use units with pursuit and horses.
APOLOGIZE
we all thought it was real, we just HOPED it wasn't real
>online PVP
I'm so glad it was real, I will have toothpaste as our symbol over Edeltard anyday.
>Free roaming on the overworld map will return
WAIT A FRICKING SECOND is this real?!?
I always avoided strategy RPGs for the lack of exploration, now you're telling me this one not only has exploration, but even a fricking explorable WORLD MAP???
>Online PVP
How will this work?
PVP
>How will this work?
Probably similar to the 3DS games in Awakening and Fates. Though they could incorporate stuff found in Heroes like Summoner Duels or Arena
>just one route
wait what
3H is basically 3,5 games in one
So now it's just back to one playthrough?
One route means less repeat content, and more time to polish what you do have, on top of a potentially longer campaign. Three houses suffered way too much because it had an excess of routes so over half of them felt incomplete
>3H is basically 3,5 games in one
No it's fricking not. White Clouds being identical in every route, Silver Snow and Verdant Wind being virtually identical, and Crimson Flower being rushed completely invalidates that statement.
3H is one shitty game split between three half assed copy pasted routes and one just plain half route.
>shit art style
>another "muh marth" nostalgia bait game
>main character looks moronic
are people actually excited for this?
I WILL name my MC 'Colgate'
Why is the gimmick something you see in a mobile gacha?
I can't wait to hear Lyn speak in English!
>make one of the edgiest Fire Emblem games to date
>it attracts a bunch of new fans
>follow it up with what is seemingly one of the most lighthearted games
3h gays are in for some epic wiplash
>muh 3Hgays
this is so tiring...
Reminds me when FEgays blamed everything on muh fateswakeninggays.
You always gotta make a label for fans of the new games, huh?
Can't wait for people to blame Engagegays for global warming next year...
To be fair, that anon's post aside, 3Hgays have been the most obnoxious fans to date.
Every new FE game there's new fans who only like the new game and nothing else. Those fans always whine and cling to their lost relevance when the next game comes out. 3Hgays will become the new fateswakeninggays and fateswakeninggays will become the new GBAgays. I enjoy pretty much every game in this series and think engage looks promising so people who jumped in for one game and are now disappointed IS isn't pandering to them can eat shit.
Edgiest? Did you forget the child sacrifices of FE4?
Which is why I said "one of the edgiest" and not "the edgiest"
>make one of the edgiest Fire Emblem games to date
But I fricking love the edginess. It felt like a JRPG game of thrones which is what you want from FE I think.
I sure hope they don't Wind Waker this shit. I think the series went in a great direction with tone.
> is what "you" want
Adding to
I will add that they may still pull a higurashi on the tone with this game still... having cute characters in hell.
But I kinda think the robust grease in the non school parts of FE3H was great.
Fricking hivemind.
Get out of my brain.
I am inside of your walls
GOMENASAI GOMENASAI GOMENASAI GOMENASAI GOMENASAI GOMENASAI GOMENASAI GOMENASAI GOMENASAI GOMENASAI GOMENASAI GOMENASAI GOMENASAI
I'm actually making a bootleg FE game that has a lot of Higurashi references in it, including a character that is literally just bootleg aged-up Rika but it's extremely cringe so don't play it.
why did you mention it then?
i want to play it anon
pics
I'll get made fun of if I post one with character art in it so here's this one.
Nice
good work anon
Because I thought it was neat that someone else brought up the idea of combining Higu and FE which is an extremely strange combination and I wanted to share that I also think it could make an interesting combo to the point where I've spent hundreds of hours to try to bring it to fruition, with little success.
I can see how that could kinda work with the underground cult stuff.
But be careful if you want to use magic as a subverter of expectations here in a game which obviously already has magic. It can be done, but it's very tricky to do without just becoming monster horror.
I think they should focus on the GoT aspect more, because that was the best part of 3H (haven't played the others so I am assuming it's in some of the other games too).
I'll buy it. I'll likely enjoy it. The game in general looks like it was have a simple as frick plot, but at least it's not multiple shallow paths. Also, Toothpaste-chan grew on me back when she was first leaked.
Is this a mainline game?
yes
Toothpaste Warriors when?
>Watch trailer
>At least three cute female characters spotted
Yep, FE is back.
Super cute ones at that not just "I'll make it work" like 3H
Honestly the best part of Engage being real is that means Jugdtal remake is real too and look at how good Sigurd will look in it
Looks like male colgate is going to be the face of the game. He carries the look better too unfortunately, female colgate looks weird and overdesigned. The 3rd person pov of her in the leaks is even more fricking gross too. The nolstagiagay appeal is so trash too, why can't they just try to make a self-contained game on it's own merits, frick.
Really sad how Toothpaste-chan has the worst design of the characters shown so far. Pic related absolutely mogs her and will make me day 1 purchase.
the shadow quality looks horrendous
the switch needs to die
>yet another game wanking older titles
Holy shit, atleast awakening tried to be subtle about it
>Subtle
>Shoehorned Gaiden in the most unnecessary out of place Valm arc ever

Male twin uses Micaiah
NO MICAIAH NOT THE LITTLE BOY AGAIN NOOOO
I'm kinda intrigued as to what the Fire Emblem will be this time around. Since the crossover characters are called emblems, it probably going to be one of them, or maybe an OC who's new to this game but still a "hero from another world". While there are several characters from previous games who are associated with fire and could plausibly have the title "Fire Emblem" in this game I don't imagine any of them will be particularly plot relevant, so I'm guessing it'll be some OC. Since we're dicksucking old games as well I'd say it's pretty likely the shield will make an appearance in this game in some form but I don't think it'll be THE Fire Emblem.
My guess is either some ultimate ring or all of the rings collectively.
Ring!Sigurd will get toasty'd by Ring!Arval, becoming a literal Fire Emblem
Since we have a 3D Sigurd model now FE4 remake when?
FE4 remake was apparently part of the original toothpaste leak.
>Leak was really
Forgive me for doubting.
The big question, really, is if characters will actually do shit in cutscenes in this game, and not just cycle through the same few animations, with awkward camera cuts to hide the lack of animations. For example, one thing that comes to mind is Sumia decking Chrom in the face in Awakening. Three Houses, for some reason, wouldn't be able to do something as simple as that. Just give me actual animations in Engage and I'll be content. Unless I'm blind, I didn't see Koei Tecmo's name on it, so I'm cautiously optimistic.
is this a main game? It looks like some spinoff shit like tokyo mirage tbh
Going by the leak, this was meant to be a celebratory game for the 30th anniversary, but got fricked by covid delays, so that explains the fanservicey aesthetic to it. So maybe it was meant to be a spin-off kind of thing but got turned into a main thing? Who knows?
> HONTO?
> HONTO NI HONTO???
I just want pre set classes back where characters personalities were set to their class. Thief characters are hurt the worst by this but i fully expect 3H class system back cause everything gaming nowadays is MUH CUSTOMIZATION
There's literally no hint of a class change system in what we've seen so far, actually we have more evidence of the contrary
It's more likely than not that characters are tied to their class. We're going home bro.
My God, just nuke them again already
fire emblem is for ding dongs. just complete and other creamfilled hostes products. no normal person would even bad an eye at this crap but your coconut covered snowball ass just cant resist this sponge cake ass bullshit. you bottom feeding morons should be ashamed for even participating in this crap, you absolute hostess products.
Now I'm hungry.
