Curious to know if they will retcon some characters like they did with shadows of valentia. Such as character backstories, relationships, models. It be interesting what they do with these characters considering how well they did when it came to characters like leon, phython, lukas, sonya, etc.

I hope they keep the remake as faithful as possible to the original in terms of map layout and plot. But with what I learned about Shadows of Valentia recently, there many be new characters added in. I was unaware that Berkut, my favorite villain was an original character for SOV.

[@lucky_crit]

Yep, they definitely tweaked a few things here and there, which I think is super cool. Conrad is another example. But they keep it tasteful, which I really respect!

[@bananfang]

I like the fact that they redesigned some characters and added new ones, for example, Rudolf was shitty in Gaiden but turned out great in SoV, but the maps that were just an open field were weird, most of them felt the same, but some of them were really cool, so IMO they could leave an open field-like maps in the beginning, but in later stages of the game maps like these should be redesigned to offer a greater challenge.

I think I remember hearing FE4 was originally called “Inheritors of Light”, I think that’d be a good title for the remake

[@MaddyWaves96]

And I definitely remember there was a reason why they didn't use it: While Genealogy was announced as "Inheritors of Light" on the first promotional poster, it is said they later abandoned that title because they felt like it put too much focus on the second generation, so they went with "Genealogy of the Holy War" instead, putting equal emphasis on both the 1st and 2nd Gen. I honestly think that's an amazing decision, so it would feel a bit like a step backwards if they chose "Inheritors of Light" as a subtitle for the remake.

Plus I’m pretty sure a lot of people will be mad that the main character that they relate to will get killed of by a dude, that also takes away his main interest and wife and that he bascially got cucced

[@MrSentinel07]

@@arman_llc624 Child Hunts aren't a whole lot different from Edelgard and Lysithea and their siblings undergoing horrible experimentation that left most of them brain dead. Brainwashing is a very common trope across all of Fire Emblem. Remire Village, where you end up killing villagers drugged into going crazy as about as fucked up as any of Genealogy's. The incest being all told in text does nothing. Unless we see Arvis and Deirdre getting it on on screen, there's nothing explicit. Implications of incest is not enough for an M rating. And your last point makes no sense at all? People will get mad at Sigurd dying? You can join the Black Eagles and not follow Edelgard, in essence losing her and having to kill her later. There is nothing about Genealogy that Three Houses also does.

[@Pat2wik]

I’d also like to point out that a few reasons a FE4 remake may be eminent can be seen in Fire Emblem Heroes alone. Excluding seasonal units, we’ve seen a sudden rise in FE4 characters and characters like Larcei even had dialogue changes. In case you didn’t know, Larcei used to have a voice line saying “I’m Larcei, Ulster is my twin brother, nice to meet you.” Which is now changed to, “I’m Larcei, Scathach is my twin brother, nice to meet you.” Why go through the hassle of changing a units name?

[@Laskivi]

Scathach... the name of a warrior from Irish mythology. Ulster is the name of a region of ancient Ireland. They might be using it for a place instead of a character. In any case... 3H has tons of references to Irish mythology, and so does FE4. It is some of the darkest, most twisted and tragic mythology of human history. No wonder these games are gruesome. I can’t wait.

[@arcturus64]

if they go the fully voiced route for a FE4 remake, I'd be curious to hear how Ishtar sounds since her eng VA in heroes is Leonie's.

[@mcihay246]

A much more reserved tone most likely. I can think of her as a potential fan favourite. Women because she's incredibly competent in Magic, and the empathy they'd feel for loving someone who they know isn't good for them. Men... Well because she's hot for one. Also because of this, there'd be those that wish that things would've turned out better for her. Even if they inevitably don't.

​@@Starwars-Fanboy A sequel doesn't make sense though? Just like the rumored "golden route", it would in retrospect negatively impact the other routes.

[@TayTayLeFae]

My biggest dream is a Claude post three houses spin-off, he’s one of the only characters that can live every route, and he has his own kingdom and stories to tell.

[@Mr96POP]

An interesting thing to point out is that 3H started development after Fates in 2015, so for a while, 3H and SoV were in development at the same time. With 3H mostly being developed by Koei Tecmo, it makes sense that there would be multiple teams working on games. I had been wondering for a while what the SoV team has been doing since 2017 considering only a handful of IS employees worked on 3H. I doubt they had been sitting on their hands for 2 years until 3H released. Considering FE is not a series known for HD graphics, IS probably needed many years to develop a Switch engine of their own. 3H took 4 years to make, and if the SoV team has been working on a new game ready to release this year, that would also be 4 years of development. FE games usually come out every 2-3 years, with 3 years being the longest time between games (FE4->FE5, FE5->FE6, FE13->FE14), so it wouldn’t make sense for IS to just make games one at a time with a single group considering how long it took to make 3H. Plus, there’s some precedence to this since FE8 & FE9 back in the day were developed simultaneously after FE7’s release. FE8 came out 1 year after FE7 since it simply built off the GBA engine. FE9 came out a year after FE8, but it had actually been developed for 2 years after FE7 because it was a GameCube game and the first ever 3D FE game.

[@RenxyQuad]

You are on the right track. It was honestly very smart to have two fire emblem games made at the same time. Considering that Xenoblade 1 to Xenoblade X took 5 years. So having another studio that has experience making hd console games was the fastest way to pump a fire emblem as soon as possible.

[@tidepoolclipper8657]

At one point, the director for Shadows of Valentia (the first to have the official Echoes branding) indicated that they were interested in remaking Binding Blade the most. I would not be surprised if that was the next project. Aside from that, a Geneology remake has the issue of having to content with Nintendo of America's censorship policies (considering the child hunts and incest being at it most prevalent in this game), the ridiculously huge maps (the closest they have gotten to this in later years is Serenes Forest and even then that map was split into four parts), and remaking that game along with Thracia 776 would probably bring back bad memories of the deteriorating relations between them and Kaga.

I think the devs will try to add or expand on the "strategy" factor in any new Fire Emblem game.

This point is one of my little gripe for FE3H lol

[@karn75]

Really? Its kinda been a gripe for me since Fates. They really pitched that as having branching decisions. but it was really just a "yes, no, your both stupid" answer question. They had so much wasted potential. Could've done a whole game with options for each chapter (yes I know it makes the game bigger and thus more expensive/time consuming to create). but they could've had so many optional paths, Like the enemy is in the castle should we deploy on the field to draw them out tomorrow OR send in a small strike team to win as they sleep?

@@aydengarcia9073 When I say "decisions" they are not limited to dialogue choices. Every player action counts. And "consequences" are not limited to routes and endings. Imagine talking to a random npc or picking up an useless item ending up saving some important characters, unlocking hidden stages, affecting foreign relations so green units become enemies. It's kind of like butterfly effects. All of these can happen within a single main route (plus minor changes to character endings). It just makes every playthrough unpredictable and unique. I can't imagine 32 path it's out of the devs' time and resources to make so many lol. But still I stress on decisions and consequence because together they become strategy. When we know everything we do have consequence, we tend to become cautious and think it over. so if we want a game to be a better strategy game, just make everything we do in game to have consequences, no matter how big and small.

[@Ash_Wen-li]

This might be overly ambitious, but I'd love to see the castles in an FE 4 remake be implemented as their own mini-maps. So in order to properly seize one you need to capture the gate on the outside as well as the throne. Consequently, you'd need to also defend a captured castle as well to prevent it from getting taken. Of course this would require tons of units so it could be problematic. Another thing that would be cool is a stable system for foot units. Giving them the ability to ride horses (even outside of combat) would make them much more useful. Even an option to steal an enemy's horse after its dismounted

I also hope that they make the visuals look a lot better than Wind, Flower, Snow, Moon's graphics, cause while I do like that game's aesthetics, it really looked more like previous generation graphics like Wii U, or maybe even late Wii graphics, and some of the objects are just flat 2D textures, and aren't fully modeled in 3D, plus the in-game character models feel incredibly stiff, and recycle the exact same movements besides the cutscenes (not counting the Anime-styled ones) which I get it's a lot of characters to work with, and it was the franchise's first time on a home console in over a decade, but I still think they could've done a bit better with them, it's definitely not one of the best looking games on the Switch so hopefully for the next FE game, assuming this rumor is real, they'll do much better with the visuals. :P Regardless, another great video, Stevie, and I like these brief videos you've been making lately, and I'd be down with you making more of those since they're pretty easy to get out faster! ;) I'll be sure to try, and follow you on those other platforms too since I know KZbin's been pretty bad lately which I totally understand. Look forward to the next video!

My biggest question would be pursuit as a skill I dont really see them maintaining it, although I personally feel like it gave space for wackier ways of killing like brave weapons and adept

[@kentknightofcaelin4537]

Why wouldn't they? The game is designed around it, and every gen1 unit without pursuit has something to mitigate that fact.

[@ryanlapolt1225]

God, fe 4 is my favorite fe. This makes me super happy and at the same time incredibly scared. They better bring back the ranking system; fe 4 ranked runs was my entire summer last year.

[@mcihay246]

I hope there's rankings also. Always preferred the idea to improve one's playstyle via rank results to receive a challenge instead of just using inflated stats.

[@mrkisukes]

At least the leaks aren't trying to say what the next FE game is suppose to be themed around. I remember when Three Houses was gothic horror themed back when we were all still speculating and thirsty for any kind of news...kind of like how we are now.

[@MemesToa]

I still remember being able to poke a gaping hole in said leak back when Lucky Crit covered it, simply by exploiting a loophole in one of the bullet points: The “protagonist,” or player character, having a raging bloodlust for the avatar (with avatars always being the player character), thus having the player character fighting against... the player character.

A FE4 remake sounds very fun. Since I loved Echoes a lot, I would really love to see a remake of Genealogy. As long as they don't screw it up like what Game Freak is doing to the Pokémon D/P remakes, that is... First a sequel to the Madoka Magica movie and now a very likely Genealogy of the Holy War remake? I am already preferring 2021 over 2020 already. The fact that 3H will turn 2 years old in a couple months is unbelievable tbh

[@ChillstoneBlakeBlast]

Just Got reccomended this from the Algorithm. Amazing And very imformative Video that is to the point.

[@lucky_crit]

Thank you! Welcome and stay tuned for more videos like this!

[@johnnemblem]

If memory serves me correctly one of the reasons Binding Blade is in the running for the next remake is because the director of SOV said he would like to work ok a Binding Blade remake or something like that

[@drhysr9545]

I'm pretty new to Fe but I know enough to know how different three houses was to the rest of the series, but fuck I love three houses so much it will take a bit of adjusting to the old style

[@crishendrixx]

I started with 3H too. It was tough to learn other games' mechanics at first, but then I got used to them. So far, I played FE1 (2020 Switch version), Path Of Radiance, Radiant Dawn and a bit of FE7. They're all amazing. The only thing I didn't like that much was that Radiant Dawn is TOO LONG... it took me ages to finish it.

[@DanielGonzalez-wj9by]

I would do a biblical sacrifice for Genealogy remake or even the original translation

[@ElhPudding]

Genealogy remake makes more sense tbh. And the maps, I do kinda liked when I watched a LP, I feel they just need add like random quests to do and overall more stuff to do. Genealogy's map do feel like kinda Total War maps (Or Romance of the 3 Kingdoms) for me too. And outside of being able to grind and post-game stuff (Just because Coirpre is my fav character in Genealogy and he is super late) I would like to see a reclass system and change to the other FE games where you don't need a skill to be able to double, which for me is one of the downsides of the game alongside of the trade system.

[@RyokoAsakuraLastFan]

I think it would be smart if a remake of Genealogy would split the maps into two, to three parts adding more story and character dialog. While bringing back roaming the castle between chapter's. Lastly 776 could be an excellent DLC pack

[@gagecoalbrace3]

If they do keep the maps they need to update movement or give all classes access to a horse based class to allow them to keep up with the cav units

[@gagecoalbrace3]

gonna add this despite Having some Excellent Generals they were useless because their slow movement made them UNable to even get to the fight before the cav units would finish it

[@Aeivious]

or just add a mounting mechanic for non mounted classes. like someone who trains to fight on a horse, can do so, but other people can still ride horses and not fight as well. say a fighter mounts a horse, and gets a skill and str penatly, but gets move, sure he can still fight, but its not where the unit shines. Three houses had the mounting and unmounting mechanic which really didnt see a whole lot of use as effective weapons were never that scary, but i think this game could excel at making that mechanic fluid

[@gagecoalbrace3]

@@Aeivious Holy war has the mount/unmount mech as well but only gives movement. I feel if horseslayer weapons were more prevalent in 3Houses the unmount would have seen more use as I only used it on my Pegasus units to lure bow units. it wasnt that they were not scary to see its just HOW rare enemies had them having a unit suddenly do 30 damage vs a unit that was taking less than 10 usually is scary in classic mode

[@swhawk]

Maybe the hypoothetical Genealogy remake will look like the Echoes game, featuring no full 3D models for cutscenes nor the map: Meaning 2D art for cutscenes and supports, and sprites for the map in battles, with animated 3D models for the combat scenes. Imagine, however, if instead of sprites for the map, we now get chibi 3D models that look sort of like the ones from the Pokemon Diamond&Pearl or Link's Awakening remakes.

[@mcihay246]

Chibi models? Unlikely. The difference between FE4 and Diamond/Pearl/Link's Awakening is the tone of the games. Unlike the latter's feeling of "Adventure", Genealogy is an "Epic".

[@draydthundroz8098]

What I do wonder is how they'll handle character designs. Gaiden got delayed in Heroes because SoV was in developpement and then they revealed the brad new characters with their designs But here the Jugdral games got a lot of units in Heroes already with new arts reflecting how their og appearence were. Now I know they won't get the exact same design as in Heroes. After all Heroes arts always have different elements from the og art, Ike for exemple. But I wonder how if they will make soe huge character design shift like in SoV despite Heroes

[@kentknightofcaelin4537]

There's no reason to change character designs much for fe4.

[@Ponch_ITK]

Well good to see you're not dead my boy From what I can gather I feel like the more obvious choice that in Nintendo can do is do a Path of Radiance or radiant Dawn remake don't take my word for granted this is just my own speculations I'm saying

[@reyesle6709]

There’s genealogy rumors and then there’s tellius rumors. Which one will come out on top

Rumors point more to Genealogy because it talks about a remake of a FE game that never released outside of Japan.

[@reyesle6709]

@@ZackSNetwork ahh

[@notfabio9858]

Any main FE title announcement would be awesome, man I want to keep my expectations contained but e3 on the horizon is just too hype. Honestly, I think I want a remake or some ports/ remasters more than a new mainline game. The games I wanna play the most are the Tellius games, I’d actually be more than fine with just a simple remaster or port since it is one of the later titles, an I think that way we could get a bundle of the two. But a genealogy remake would also be amazing and what I’m expecting. I think I’d like them to stay as faithful as SoV, i haven’t played genealogy but I feel like it’s uniqueness is something I definitely want to experience. But if they do change things I could just play the original too. And binding blade would also be amazing. Honestly, I’d be fine with just a port of any of these, but I definitely think genealogy deserves the remake treatment

[@our_illumination949]

It's possible that Koei Tecmo provided the engine that the new Echoes game will use. Although Koei Tecmo helped with development, it's possible that Nintendo has all of the rights to it. I'm sure there's an agreement that gives Koei Tecmo some benefit. I expect the new remake to feel like Three Houses but to look way more polished.

[@tidepoolclipper8657]

I really hope remakes of Fire Emblem in general do not have the same character designer as Three Houses. Many of the Three Houses characters look more scrapped character concepts for Shin Megami Tensei.

[@haruhirogrimgar6047]

So long as they add in the Support conversation system from Awakening & beyond I will probably pick it up and enjoy it.

[@justincruz2937]

I'd look forward to a Genealogy of the Holy War Remake and what I'd like to see in the FE4 remake would be the Player's Starting Castle would act as the Hub World like Fates' My Castle and Three Houses' Garegg Mach Monastery the return of Casual Mode make 3rd Tier Promotion return more classes returning such as Mortal Savant from Three Houses Great Knight(Heavily Armored Version) from Sacred Stones Gold Knight from Gaiden Master of Arms from Fates and Malig Knight from Fates like Shadow Dragon and New Mystery of the Emblem did and add Full Voice Acting like Shadows of Valentia Fire Emblem Warriors and Three Houses did.

If Heroes was a reliable reference, then I can see that Jugdral is getting a remake for sure, if it's not this year, it's the next installment. Every other banner/event/hall of forms has had Jugdral characters in the spotlight this year.

"why yes ethlyn we-WYVERNS" cut to an inset image of like 3 wyverns in the sky turns of wyvern massacre later guess travant got off his wyvern since we can't handle mounts "give me the gae bolg and you may live!" cut to inset of gae bolg since we can't render weapons either travant kills them but we can't render THAT either so it's a fade to black cut to inset of baby Altena since we can't render babies

[@brownspottedcat]

hi, 3D graphics and gamedev person here. I think it's worth noting that straying away from an engine doesn't necessarily mean assets are locked to a specific engine. a lot of modern engines have opted for more generic file objects that are parsed in a similar manner across engines. it's proooobably not worth commenting on graphical stylings (especially for a game with such a defined artstyle) at this stage.

[@KAPTAINmORGANnWo4eva]

Depending on how much of a "remake" a Genealogy remake would be, it could be a good chance to bring back the concept of your units' Supports leading to different units in the second half as they pair off and have children. Or at least do that with Seliph. And if they were feeling _really_ ambitious, maybe have a save import feature for a subsequent FE5 remake so actions taken in the FE4 remake affect how that game goes?

[@redliteyt]

Either they scale down the maps into multiple chapters to use for 3H engine (the maps were already pushing the hardware to the limits) or use pixel art for the large maps.

[@Outshinedsg]

SNES port of Genealogy released May 26th on Switch, tie in/hype up for upcoming remake? Would certainly track. Genealogy of the Holy War with modern quality of life graphics and upgrades has the potential to be the best Fire Emblem in the series so far. Genealogy already has some of the best music, maps, and storytelling in the series, it just needs to be a little less clunky to play. The ceiling is extremely high if that is indeed what they are making. In comparison to the previous remakes, I don't think antiquated mechanics would be as detrimental to this game as it was for Shadow Dragon for example. After all, Genealogy introduced a lot of mechanics that are popular with fans and have become recurring, staple elements of the Fire Emblem series as a whole. Not only the titular genealogy mechanic but also skills, the beginnings of support conversations, a basic base, arena battles, etc. Genealogy added a lot of the characterization and tactical depth the series would become known for, so I don't think it would feel as dated as OG vanilla Fire Emblem to modern fans.

[@techpriest6962]

This is going to be out of left field, but if we can ask for one thing in the next FE game. More class flexibility like FE3H, but better? or in some ways a skyrim class system / no classes? I want something like this: - You can give a character at any time an armor type (none, light, medium, heavy) with their bonuses and penalties. - You can decide if the character is a rider or not, (So long as you have a stable with that mount available) with their bonuses and penalties. - You can decide on what weapon they have, tomes (any), swords, scythes/lances, axes, or beast / monster stones. - Then like with FE3H as you use / level skills you unlock abilities rather then having them be given by a class; thus no ability would be class locked outside unique hero / villain abilities. Now you might be wondering, what about promotions and promoted classes? I like the armor or titles they are given. Solution: - Once you reach certain rank prerequisite you would unlock associated titles which could be selected for a character which would give them various bonuses. For instance a Rank S sword user would unlock the title Sword Master title which they could apply to their character. Or a Rank A Dark Tome / Rank A Rider would unlock the Dark Knight title would come with bonuses when the title is placed on the character. You get the point, a title system instead of a class system for promotions. - As for armor / visuals, FE would need to actually add armors into the game like they do with weapons thus like with equipping a weapon you could choose an armor that benefits your characters fighting style or something that simply looked cool that you wanted them to wear. Crazy right? Make a RPG more of an RPG. Though those are just my thoughts, feel free to share yours.
