Marth is never going to catch a break, is he?

[@hydellas678]

I guess not since he's in practically every title now 😅😂.

He's pretty much Fire Emblem's Pikachu. Since a lot of people call protagonist a satirical variation of Marth, the same way our mums call random Pokemon's Pikachu.

I hope the story is good. Three houses’ gameplay was awesome for the first playthrough but the reason I kept playing for the whole 3.5 routes was for the amazing characters. Each battle felt personal and like everything was on the line because I loved all of my characters like a family. And then being forced to kill them during different routes… god that game hits hard.

[@astatalol]

What are you talking about, Three houses gameplay was trash, nothing to do with FE but more with Persona, it completely derailed the series but weebos gonna weeb... What we need is another Path of Radiance / Radiant Dawn

I don’t know how to feel about this. It looks like it could be a banger or completely fumbling the bag. And it’s all dependent on the hero summoning mechanic

[@mhorton8037]

appears to be similar to battalions. You probably choose which old heroes support which new-characters in chapter prep. guessing they level separately in the background, and in this case they also gain some kind of support called "bond." so you'll have to commit to your interdimensional romances early on

[@blackbird7781]

Looks like its gonna fumble ngl

[@DDKoD]

I feel like it’s just be limited to the lords that can summon the heroes

[@Sean-nr3ts]

I believe this game could have the endgame I'm looking for from fire emblem that isn't just a new game plus and doesn't have the calendar mechanic.

[@Sean-nr3ts]

And you guys are being too skeptical, and I've played the fire emblem spin-offs and enjoyed them for what they are. Because how much I want fire emblem content. And besides, the gameplay looks better than what of a pokemon game.

[@est-ria]

I saw MC and I couldn't help but question what they're up to. I was skeptical but I think they may have nailed it with this spirit summon system in place of the pairing up systems of before. Love the increased expressiveness in the combat/idle animations and cut scenes. I have high hopes for this one, can't wait!

[@thenecromancer8805]

Honestly, I get the feeling they are going to use the hero summoning mechanic as an excuse to sell new heroes as DLC. I really am skeptical after FE Heroes which it seems this game is drawing a lot from.

[@est-ria]

@@thenecromancer8805 There’s a lot of ways that could go, I wouldn’t be opposed to having characters and a story arc for them as dlc. Not sure why they would just use the characters though, they have FE heroes to do the dirty work and it’s not like this is the first game since the release of heroes, it’s made to be fed content from the main series.

[@paulaharrell2850]

I love Fire Emblem, but I'm not hyped by summoning the old heroes as a main part in a mainline game. It's one thing for Spotpass or using Amiibos, but I'd rather a mainline game stand on its own. That being said, I will definitely give this a shot. The premise sounds interesting, and the character designs have turned out well. Toothpaste-chan actually looks far better than the leaked screenshot I saw.

[@hydellas678]

Why would u want to use the spot pass or amibo feature for that? I for one think that using both of those things especially for summoning something, is a huge pain. Summoning hereos isn't a bad idea imo but they don't need to overdo it and should limit to only a few characters since they already did that concept with Fire Emblem Heroes.

- Weapon Triangle is revived 1:40 - However Weapon durability is nowhere to be seen, not even on vulneraries (?) 2:01 - Using an effective weapon seems to triple the attack final damage (instead of tripling the weapon might as usual since the GBA era) 1:50 - Crits triple the final damage, as usual 1:58 - Apparently you can freely equip emblem rings among your units 2:01 - Main character has a special Dragon class, as teased by the narration 2:01 - When characters equip a ring the attack seem to cause a "break" to enemies, with them being blown away and dropping weapon in the animation even if the attack does not kill (?) 2:04 - Monastery exploration is back 2:12 - Costume change for main characters, only two options: dress and masks (?) 2:17 - EMBLEM ENGAGE (the cringe) seems to activate a special transformation, the weapon name color changes to blue, also the enemy here lacks hit and damage scores, so apparently he can't counterattak this melee attack for some reason 2:27 - The Blue weapon used during transformation is the weapon owned by the emblem lord (compare 2:06 and 2:32), this means that Marth can get an upgrade from using a Rapier to using Mercurius (compare 2:04 and 2:27) - AOE map skills are avaible (maybe only to transformed characters?) akin to Gambits 2:35 - Long range Teleport + Attack (FE gaiden witches style), that again seems to negate the enemy ability to melee counter. (we don't see if the character actually stays there or teleports back) 2:40 - Also of note: said Teleport + Attack costs 1 HP to the caster, gaiden/valentia style. 2:41 - Villains probably can also use a ring 2:49 Yay for Sigurd getting some spotlight, can we have some Jugdral saga remake now?

Seems like I'm not alone in the mixed feelings here... Maybe if the protagonist didn't look aggressively goofy.

[@bificommander7472]

Not sure what to think of this one yet. I'm all for a new Fire Emblem that's actually a TBS. But I'm not too fond of the main character's design, or the Heroes-bit of channeling the previous FE protagonists. Although that second one could be fun if you can actually pick which new character gets which old one. I'm not sure if they'll allow that though, in which case I'd rather just concentrate on the new people. Oh well, we'll see on release. Odds are I'll buy it, unless they really manage to turn me off.

[@martinfranzer2254]

At around 2:00 it shows how you can choose who you channel with a "ring". The options are Sigurd and Marth, Sigurd is used later on by a different unit, so I think its like a normal item which could be fun if implemented well.

[@bificommander7472]

@@martinfranzer2254 Ah, good catch, thank you. Still think that between Heroes, Warriors, and rereleases of Tokyo Mirage and FE1 there were already enough games about that reintroduce old FE characters. But if they put a new twist on it, and more importantly the new characters aren't all written to be exactly like a single old counterpart character, I could be down for that.

[@mandisaw]

@@bificommander7472 Just in terms of not having the MTX aspect, this would be a leg-up over Heroes. The basic setup of that game was actually fun, and a good stripped-down-for-mobile version of a mid-tier handheld FE. So I figure this will come in somewhere above that in playability.

[@bificommander7472]

@@mandisaw I never got into Heroes, because of the postage-stamp sized maps. I played the mobile version of Langrisser for a bit, as I felt it still had some actual strategy on the battlemap. The gatcha mechanics turned me off eventually, along with benching all but half-a-dozen characters being basically mandatory, but at least I had some entertainment out of that one. But I presume a switch release will at least have normal sized maps, so if they don't roll out an overly exploitative DLC model, it could be ok.

[@mandisaw]

@@bificommander7472 I played on an 8-9in tablet - much easier to appreciate the art :) Maps were still tiny, from a gameplay POV, but adjusting the difficulty layered in moderate strategy potential. Really, the gacha-for-money aspect was the only thing I didn't like - otherwise, while it's a bit simplified for old-hats, it's a great intro for beginners, esp folks curious from other FE crossover appearances.

Considering the hero mechanic, maybe the final boss will have a power that uses villains instead, so you have to have certain heroes to counteract different bosses. For instance fighting Gharnef might require a hero with Starlight, or Grima someone with the Falchion.

[@Kazeko2012]

I'm tentatively excited for this. I'm always ready for more Fire Emblem. This almost feels too much like them trying to merge Heroes with the mainline games which could go either way for me. I like both as they are I'm just a little iffy on the combing aspect. I kind of thougth the title was a joke on the whole marriage mechanics of Awakening/Fates/KindaThreeHouses which fair its kinda funny.

[@airakorainies]

No because I have the same feelings. I can see potential and I know Fire Emblem has a basic formula- but it feels like it's somehow copying its own games even more than usual. This is like if Warriors, Mirage Sessions, and Heroes had a love child idk. I'm excited cause hey new Fire Emblem but I also am kind of iffy. Something just *feels* off.

Bro some of those games are 20+ years old and not avaliable in oficial hardware. Out of these the most recent ones are Ike and Celica, Radiant Dawn is 15 years old, how are new fans supposed to be hyped about most of them I have no idea. It's not like they'll be remastering the 6+ JRPGs you would need to play to know most of them any time soon anyway given that it took them several years to do SoV. This is even worse if Square Enix expected people to be hyped over including Terra on Final Fantasy 16, most fans won't know who she is.

I don't know how to feel about this, it definitely looks good but... there's nothing in the trailer that interests me the same way Three Houses did on its first trailer.

Note to all legendary fantasy heroes. Don't seal any ancient evils if more permanent options are available. If sealing appears to be the only immediate solution, start using your legendary powers and knowledge to devise ways to permanently deal with the evil the second you are done sealing. If you need some inspiration to get started, imagine ways a distant descendant of you with who might stumble onto your special sword could train to permanently defeat the evil. Then think of how you, with that same sword, same lineage, but all your knowledge, experience and power, could do the same.
