It’s more that fire is the motif for the Wyvern Knights in this game rather than the Fire being a reference to Camilla’s ability to use magic. It’s the same logic as giving Chrom and Lucina lightning and the archers wind. It’s just an added elemental motif present throughout the entire game.

[@ceresbane]

from what I can tell they have unique abilities which act as passives and actives. However their movesets are locked on what class they are and what combat arts they equip. Lots of people are gonna whine and reference this complaint from FE warriors. What people forget about hyrule warriors however was many characters were just objectively better than other due to the nature of each one having a unique moveset. Often some of them being really frustrating to play as it left them with lots of cooldown frames to get hit or moves had long start up, making it difficult to juggle. FE warriors solved that by all having viable movesets and creating clone characters with unique traits and stats. It wasn't however very polished until three hopes. But the idea was solid as all the movesets were good. So the experience of playing FE warriors didn't have a bad time unlike hyrule warriors where you'd have to do terrible missions. Like no hit missions with tingle or bug ho. It wasn't great to be frank and the defenders of the diverse moveset school always ignore these moments in hyrule conveniently.

[@Cam10_84]

@@ceresbane I think Three Hopes does it well. When thinking back on the OG FE Warriors, even before Three Hopes was announced, I always felt like it would have been better if they had just fully went loose with the characters selection. If clones were gonna happen anyway, they should have made more.

[@hheecckk526]

Well as the game has already released unfortunately the movesets are still based on the classes rather than characters so you aren't gonna have a ton of diversity. However the special moves can be different based on what class the character your using is in. This can lead you to want to use a diverse party of characters but recruiting characters you want can lead to realizing that the only difference the characters will have is possibly a difference special attack(some characters such a Manuela, Marianne, and Mercedes for example want to go down into gremory but have the exact same special animation) and different stats.

[@BanCress]

HECK YEAH FIRE EMBLEM WARRIORS!! Big agree on the game giving a second chance for some characters, for me it was Tharja. When she's able to talk about something other than Robin for 5 minutes, she's a really interesting character! I always cite the Tharja/Hinoka support conversation as one of my absolute favorites. I had no real opinion on either character beforehand, but this support gave them both so much life, and in such a weird pairing of characters! I'll still come back to this game every now and then, it's just fun.

As someone who is replaying (and 100%ing) this game before Three Hopes, I can tell you, you are totally right. History absolutely saves this game. I straight up sped run the awful campaign so I could get all the stories and start doing the History Modes. One small thing you missed about history mode is that if you finish the illustrations you get that Anna battle that is really challenging and the battle being based around the map itself

Now I hope Three Hopes will give me over 100h or more to play.

Fire Emblem Warriors is actually my most-played game on the Nintendo Switch. I ran out of stuff to do in it, and wish there was more. The way I feel, it's a prelude to something that could be truly incredible if they continue building upon it. _Three Hopes_ looks good, but I hope we eventually get proper, numbered sequels to this game that gradually phase in additional games, characters, and movesets while keeping the same smooth gameplay, fun crossover interactions, and vast amount of History Mode maps to play through.

I really liked this entry and I didn’t mind the move set sharing Made sense to me I liked that their specials were unique There were some that I avoided using because it would lag the game to high hell like Sakura being used as the second person in the special Loved the weapon upgrades and forging stuff Made it nice to be able to have different characters wield different slayers so that you can assemble a team with all types of coverage It was a lot of fun Poured so many hours into it And funny enough Camilla made the game so easy with her dragon slam move that cleared rooms super easy e Specially if her weapon hit on the magic side and there were lance users xD

[@veiledmystery7219]

[@blazingemblem6444]

Making a roster from the entire franchise seems like it would be a tremendous amount of work. From the lords, who use a LOT of swords(Who also, if you include the likes of Elincia, Robin, Kris, etc. number well over twenty) to the villians(do we have 1 for each game? But some games have multiple popular villians) to fan-favorites(same issue as villians), it seems like it would be lots of issues. Even having all lords, and one villain and fan-favorite from each game would make the game have a larger cast than all the other Nintendo Warriors games(even with DLC!). And even assuming that they all had unique movesets, I have to wonder if that roster would be enough, or if people would still be sad about the villians or fan-faves that aren't there.

[@bartthomas7141]

The problem to me (someone who admittedly hasn't played the game but has watched LPs, watched all of the supports, and is looking forward to playing it after Three Hopes) is that the Fates Families take up a LOT of space that can be used for better representation. I love what they do with the Fates characters in this game, but it's pretty easy to find representation from other games that could have been fit into the same slot, at least for most of the games: Ryoma - Ike (or Seliph if they base the game off of his first class) Hinoka - Tana Sakura - Innes Xander - Sigurd or Eliwood Leo - Ethlyn and/or Lachesis Elise - Selena (FE8), Mist, or L'Archel Camilla and Takumi can stay because Takumi could be used as a villain at first while Camilla has no other really popular heroic Wyvern counterparts. (You could make an argument for Vaida, Cormag, Glen, and Heath, but they wouldn't be nearly as popular.) Eirika and Ephraim are also problematic, though, since Ephraim would need to be a clone of Azura, who herself is a DLC character, and Eirika would need to be a clone of Celica most likely...which isn't too big of a deal, but it's something to note. Again, I am looking forward to experiencing the gameplay myself, and my problems against this game are minor at best, but I do think the Roster is a valid criticism against what a Warriors game is perceived at, the previous Nintendo Warriors' game's goal, and what fans wanted.

[@AlejandroRodriguez-cy8ee]

compared to what we had. I'm pretty sure thousands would've been happy about having a larger casts. That way new people can learn about the other games that they didn't play. fak i wanted ephraim and Erika in the game

[@haveagoodday7021]

Easy: Add fan favorites. They have a whole popularity poll after all.

[@thesoradog]

Let's see... Putting the main hero/heroine of each game and a villain, we'd get: Marth, Caeda, Gharnef Alm, Celica, Jedah Sigurd/Seliph, Deirdre/Julia, Arvis/Julius (thinking of either one gen or swapping "costumes" in some way. Each / would be a complete clone most likely) Leif, Nanna, Veld Roy, Lilina, Zephiel Eliwood, Lyn, Nergal Ephraim, Eirika, Lyon Ike, Micaiah, Ashnard (I feel like Ashera might be a step above the other villains and wouldn't fit the story very well either) Chrom, Lucina, Validar Corrin, Azura, Garon For a total of 30 characters, which would be quite reasonable, I believe. Though to not lock dragons behind DLC, I'd say add Tiki and Myrrh to the lot. Or forget dragons, that could work too. Then you add some missing characters and fan favorites as DLC with one per game: Minerva Zeke Ayra Mareeta Cecilia Hector Joshua Elincia Owain Camilla and then, yes, you'd get to 40 characters, but I think it would have given a fair chance for every game in the series, shown a bit of representation outside of lords (even if hard to do for some games like Fates, Blazing Blade or Radiant Dawn) and would've been overall satisfying. 42 characters is not that much above the 31 from Hyrule Warriors, and you have to take into account the absolute sheer amount of characters the Fire Emblem series has in comparison. It would've definitely taken more time to make if all of those characters had unique movesets, but I think it might've still paid off.

[@hikkigamer8082]

​@@thesoradog I'd have included Raydrik, instead of Veld, in that list. He's much more personal to Leif's journey, and has a much more unique class. Reinhardt would be a decent choice too, given his status post-FE and having a very unique class+presence. I also don't really think Nanna, with her earth sword, adds much to the roster compared to someone like Finn. For FE9 not including someone as iconic as Black Knight is a strange choice too, much more iconic than Ashnard was. FE6 would actually benefit with having Iduun replace Lilina. I'd personally switch DLC and main roster with Elincia and Micaiah, and Lyn with Hector. Cutting out Robin out of Awakening roster is rather unrealistic too.

While I am also not a fan of the 3H wanking nowadays, at least they are owning up to it and making a non-crossover based on it, so the story has an actual shot at mattering. TBH if FEW had been just history mode, nothing of value would have been lost. In fact the game would have probably been way better because they could and put more time into it instead of wasting it into "generic crossover story number 98923".

[@ceresbane]

I'll say it forever and forever. From a UI and system stand point. It improved on hyrule warriors completely. The command map screen was separated into clear cells just like FE so it became easy to precisely command units while hyrule warriors you had to vaguely tap the general gist of the area you want and you just kinda hoped the unit went into the right area and not into a wall (which meant the game cancels your command and makes the ai act as if you never told it anything). WEAPON LOCKING. This mechanic is god like. You had the ability to easily lock weapons with abilities or perfected gear that you DO NOT want to sell. So you can sell weapons (which you will do often) without fear of ever accidentally selling your tier 6 5 star perfect abilities weapon. This however can happen in hyrule warriors and its always terrifying to think about. Especially with how the game makes you sell weapons to make room. AI units can actually DO objectives. They can beat officers, capture keeps, heal units (though its better if you did), adjacent with them. It was great. The ability to precisely command where a unit goes was already amazing. But you can legit just do nothing and command your units to win the battle (there is even a mode for it). Weapon streamlining. Many units use universal weapon types. Swords, spears, axes, bows and tomes and uniquely for tiki her dragon stones. You can build gear that anyone can pick up and use. And combined with the locking system. It makes farming abilities for your end game character unique weapon. SO MUCH EASIER. The amount of times you'd try to get link to get a tier 5 5 star 8 slot spinner only to get literally any other weapon from Link. was INFURIATING. DO NOT SLEEP ON HOW MUCH NICE FE WARRIORS MADE THAT EXPERIENCE SO MUCH BETTER.

[@CheerUpCrewcut]

I can complain about Fire Emblem Warriors endlessly, but I am absolutely a believer that this game is solid, and some of the comparisons its put up against aren't totally fair. It had maybe one or two less base game movesets and a handful more characters than Hyrule Warriors had at its launch, of course it also had more DLC and Hyrule Warriors has an easier time implementing characters as Link, Zelda, Ganondorf and Impa are in multiple entries across the series. Other than them and Lana, the rest of Hyrule Warrior's base game was pulled from only Ocarina of Time, Twilight Princess and Skyward Sword, all the Wind Waker, Majora's Mask and Link Between Worlds characters plus Spirit Tracks Zelda and Marin didn't come until the DLC. IMO, the biggest problem is swords. All of the game's strengths as well as everything in defense of its failings are undermined by the abundance of swords. The reason for the game focus was supposedly to ensure the game wasn't loaded with sword lords while retaining mechanical depth with the weapons triangle and such, yet the base roster and even the DLC are stuffed with sword users. The defense of clones (an argument I wholeheartedly believe in) is undermined by there being as many sword clones as well as many distinct sword movesets compared to other weapon types. The defense of omitting Ike and Roy is lost when Rowan and Lianna both have swords. The defense of trying to avoid swords and balancing things out fails completely when they deliberately chose Olivia as DLC. Class-based fails when there's like four different Sword Lord movesets. Giving Rowan and Lianna both swords is the issue, and the defense of "wanting to start the weapon triangle with the sword" is also stupid because they let you play as Lucina in the 2nd mission so they should've given them different weapon types so they can introduce a central mechanic as soon as possible. Giving them Lances instead would fix basically everything, or better yet a Lance and a Sword, but they didn't want the choice to be different based on which lord you picked as if there needed to be two OC lords anyway. The second biggest problem is the DLC choices. Hyrule Warrior's DLC, as mentioned, added a lot of other games. If they'd saved Lyn and Celica for DLC packs with Florina and like Wil, Mae and Boey, then had the third pack be... say, Ephraim, Duessel and Knoll, then we'd be golden. Or even just Celica, Lyn can stay in the base game, give Shadow Dragon Navarre over base game Celica (They literally stated History Mode was conceived so they could use Navarre's Recruit Conversation somewhere so he should be in the base game since he was definitely cut from the base game) then Lyn's friends, new game promotion, and a third game that was a better-selling localized entry to fill out the DLC while still keeping Lyn in the base game. Swords are still kind of an issue but again, make Rowan and Lianna lance users, lances aren't stuck with one base game moveset and there are less sword characters overall, incentivising you to use the lords for lance uniqueness plus the other infantry sword guys by giving them less competition for the role of infantry sword guy on your team. Anyway, a retrospective with some positives. Cool. Three Hopes exists. I don't care too much honestly, I'm buying it moreso because I liked Warriors 1 mechanically rather than I wanted a new game in Fodlan. Story-wise I'd honestly prefer more of the lemon twins, roster wise fixing the problem of only 3 focus games by doing only 1 focus game is dumb. At least they found a better way to sell clone movesets with class switching because the inherent existence of clones was almost surely an upside because it allowed them to produce more characters for the first most likely but people didn't like that (and fair enough, Hyrule Warriors existed even though I'm sure it had a bigger budget for a couple of reasons, plus they didn't use the power of clones to do much more than a Fateswakening party). Shadow Dragon is my favorite FE game so maybe I'm being too lenient to Fire Emblem Warriors but it's a good game IMO, some of the roster decisions also make sense. Some.

So excited for Three Hopes Had it preordered for so long This could be my game of the year The first Fire Emblem Warriors was amazing but the combat needed something more Thankfully Three Hopes exceeded my expectations

[@TheGamersState]

To me; Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes did the "clone thing" right. If you wanted to make character's movesets be based on the class they are in, make it so we can change classes for the characters. This way you could have a large roster of characters and rather than them all having their own moveset, you yourself get to decide what movesets a character has. You can have a large roster of characters from across the series AND you cut back on work by basic the movesets on classes.

I have a lot of fun playing FE Warriors but something in the back of my mind compels to feel that it isn’t as awesome as it should be, for instance I played Musou/Warriors Crossover games like both Hyrule Warriors games, Sengoku Basara, the Dynasty Warriors Gundam games, One Piece Pirate Warriors, Kamen Rider Battride War (Japan exclusive) games and Fate/Extella and I have a really hard time putting those games down but with Fire Emblem Warriors I can put it down fairly easily (but hey this is coming from someone who has pumped in over 100 into FE Warriors so I guess take what I say with more than a grain of salt) I guess the reasons I’m conflicted is because they omitted Roy my Favorite Fire Emblem Character (because of Smash Bros Melee, I know pretty dumb, right?) and knowing the fact that I have no reason to negatively react to those other Warriors crossovers because the rosters are diverse with characters across the franchise, everyone plays differently and the biggest thing I guess is that there was never any pretense of what could be in the game, i.e support conversations/ character interactions (speaking of support conversations in FE Warriors I didn’t like that all supports did not have conversations across all support levels like main games) and roster inclusions. But with all that being said I cannot wait until the end of the month for FEW 3 Hopes, and with the (although small) plethora of information they are giving us before release I have no reason to doubt I’m going to love almost everything about the game like how the difference in identity between the Hyrule Warriors games transition into Breath of the Wild (even though I didn’t in fact play BOTW past the intro to it so I’m not at all the same kind of die hard BOTW fan as others, I can wait for the sequel, it’s not on my bucket list of most wanted releases) I rather like they decided to focus on just one specific entry in the overall franchise, I’d rather have streamlined gameplay and story over broken dreams and promises (even though yes they did say they would add Roy and Ike if they were able to make a FEW sequel). I’m excited for Three Hopes and who knows maybe they will add legacy FE characters as dlc that doesn’t affect the story in any way (it happens).

But I don't have enough money for the DLC if I want to get all the ones for soem of my 3DS games before the eshop closes. Mainly Ace Attorney. But once that's taken care of I really want to play as Azura. Because spear and water. I don't get all the criticism. The game looks like so much fun. My sister has been speedrunning 3 Houses by the way. I lent her the cartridge in April and she is already on her fourth run. And she works full time and has a social life. My sis is scary. I got burnout while playing the game because all the planning in the menus is such a slog to get through. But I also had fun with TMS. And there are people who hate Tsubasa.

[@Cassapphic]

FE warriors was the first warriors game I played and I remember just, not really enjoying it very much. I didn't really enjoy the gameplay because the game gives you way too many objectives at once to micromanage, encouraging you to spread out your characters, making it hard to interact with the weapon triangle because the only axe unit allowed on this chapter is halfway across the map how do I beat this lance other than brute force. I didn't feel like grinding out to even unlock the secret characters let alone see the support conversations, by the time I was done I felt worn out. It may just be that that style of game as a whole isn't for me and not just the fault of FE warriors that I often instinctively point to.

[@AlejandroRodriguez-cy8ee]

hey man, the single life ain't that bad (me who failed at like 3 dates and never tried again because the 4th's times an omen). 1. I was actually supporting this game, i wasn't a big fan of the roster, BUT i did like me some warriors game so no matter what they put in, i thought it was gonna be fun. Little did i know of what awaited me after playing for 200 hours of this game. 2. 3/4 of the roster had teh same moveset and despite this, THEY STILL had the audacity of saying "we based it among classes". In what world, IN WHAT WORLD, is Celica's PRIESTESS class similar to the LODESTAR? I must've missed a page or two cause i am preeeeetty sure they don't even play the same. 3. Pretty sure FE characters that are unknown to newer fans would've been a great addition into this game. This could've been the best way to introduce others into the series, get them to love older game titles! You can't expect people to be fans of certain characters if they don't know who they are, you gotta introduce them first. also WERE THE HECK IS ALM AND WHY ACT 2 CELICA??? the most DUMBEST character i have ever seen in the FE games i played (I'll kick this game into the ground after it bit me, stole my money and then said "it will get good") 4. The DLC of this game makes the paywall dlc in pokemon SwSh look like a phukin beauty. There are no words to express how cheap they were lmao. also history mode had nice challenges and story modes......until they force you to level up a clone character for like....the 4th time (still pissed that i had to level up niles, after leveling Sakura who was before i leveled up Takumi because of the mission restrictions). the highs aren't appreciated cause the lows are more visible and more predominant than the positives. HOWEVER, i am glad to say and confirm, that it seems that the characters in 3 Hopes all have unique animations and unique differences to distinct them from each other. That is the best thing and the best news for 3 Hopes. And so i can safely say that without a doubt......Kingdom hearts is li- nah just kidding this game is awful. I WILL NOT LIVE IN COPIUM ANYMORE. also something i noticed while replaying the game is that the mission in history mode WILL NOT progress until all the message prompt have passed. which actually made me have close calls in getting S ranks (glad the requirements for S ranks are shown in history mode though). TLDR; 10/10 game, would not recommend but rather watch and then make your own decision. as i said, i have 200 hours of playtime in this game because of history mode (sadly this does mean you will have to suffer through the story and probably buy the dlc to get the entire content). IT HAS it's issues, but overall a great time (and very very easy to break the game if you have dlc and some weapons. like there is absolutely no balance and you can probably finish most missions in history mode with 0 damage).

[@Ferdoe]

Hate to burst your bubble but it looks like three hopes still has the same class focused moveset system. The characters each have a gimmick at least like Hilda's thunder or ignatz with paint but it looks like the movesets themselves are largely the same.

[@AlejandroRodriguez-cy8ee]

@@Ferdoe doesn't look like it, Ferdinand, Sylvain, Lorenz and Leonie seem to have different combos. Lysethia, Marianne, Hubert, Lindhart, Mercedes and Annette as well. Ashe, Ignatz and Bernadetta too. though i think it's quite possible that the main character will have an exclusive class for itself but will have to re-use animations when changing to other classes.

[@leokokiri]

I have played all three Nintendo warriors game to hell and back (hell i played Hyrule Warriors 1 original content twice) But i still think FEW is def competing with the most fun to play with Age of Calamity, it has so many cool moments and felt the smoothest when using tactics/commands for the other units in the map Despite many clones in the rooster, they always felt fun to play and instantly knew how to play and what every combo did everyone without having to check menus, also there seem to be a neat balance of combos cause never felt X combo was the best cause it just deletes everything in a keep radius (which is something both Hyrules Warriors suffer imo, tho mainly the first one) By the looks, 3 Hopes seems to prob be takin elements from AoC were optional battles can be played immediately after campaign battles; and neat the story is more of an alternative version of the original plot instead of being a good ending like AoC, which was p much expected despite not them revealing anything after the attack to hyrule castle

[@therealjaystone2344]

I don’t think you should compare FEW to AoC because it’s not a fair game. HW easily beat FEW on content, character uniqueness, and passion. FEW was almost made for the 2010s FE fans (not old school fans) and yes Marth and the gang were old school but the remake for the DS exists.

[@Ajia_No_Envy]

The gameplay was fairly good, but the story wasn't that good, i'm hoping thr new game will rectify the story parts and continue with the great gameplay

[@SirePuns]

FEW was pretty good as far as musou games go and I know that most of the criticism comes from the FE side of the fandom rather than the musou side of the fandom. But I will say that none of the roster or story related problems bothered me. All I saw was a fantastic hack n slash that was worth sinking 100+ hours into.

[@vader1481]

[@mrmichaelencke]

I agree that it is a good game and I enjoy it but I have to say Hyrule Warriors had far more fun movesets. In HW you get to fight with explosive balloons, picture frames, pistols, a boat, bells, a train, and so much more. The game design is a bit worse but the new varied move sets are so much cooler.

[@nuibaba280]

I hope Three Hopes fixes all of the original's mistakes. It seems like they already are by having more movesets and tolerable OCs.

[@lpfan4491]

It's one of these games where a lot of it kinda sucks, but the base gameplay and music are so good that it hardcarries the experience(Also Fates-Characters are somehow incredibly well written, despite their own game). Even tho I don't look too favorably upon it in general, I genuinely couldn't stop playing it for the first few weeks after it came out(And it completely pushed FEHeroes out of my play catalogue eventually, because this spinoff being such a blast put into perspective how not fun that spinoff was. I'd rather do nothing than grind that nonsense). Also, barely played DLC because a decent chunk of missions had the characters talk for like 10 minutes while I was doing nothing, standing infront of the enemy HQ waiting for it to finally open. And because of that, I barely missed the S-rank on those missions. Sorry, but that is atrocious and actually made me so salty that I just stopped playing it(Already did everything in the base game by then). 10:00 Dangit, no wonder that game's 5 routes are such a mess(Besides the game being rushed). Though yeah, still a lot better than FEW. DId the 4th writer who didn't return somehow multiply the crappiness by 100? Or did they just get a lot more editorial help with 3H?

[@cassettecobra3848]

6:03 And this is another problem with the character roster for the game. Focusing on representing three games make sense because that's exactly what Hyrule Warriors did at the start. The issue here though that FEW did not represent the games equally. There is clear favoritism for FE Fates and much lower interest for Shadow Dragon (Even though it's the first FE game ever). Of the 21 characters launch characters, 1/3rd of the roster consisted of Fates characters. Awakening gets 6 characters, and Shadow Dragon only gets 3. Why is there such a disparity between the three main games here? If you're not going to treat them equally, then don't bother doing it in the first place, they could've easily fixed this by giving each side 6 characters. Hyrule Warriors has 16 launch characters. Ocarina of Time has 2 pure representatives, Twilight Princess has 3, and Skyward Sword having 2. near equal representation here. The rest either consist of original incarnations of canon characters or completely original. The DLC for FEW's don't help with representation at all either. The three DLC are more Fates, more Awakening, and more Shadow Dragon, for 3 characters each. The reception Koei got was negative enough that they put Lyn and Celica, characters from two separate games in, as a form of damage control. This DLC fixes nothing with the representation problem. HW's DLC on the other hand, got 1 more TP rep, Majora's Mask makes an appearance and gets 3 characters, Two games from the Hero of winds era gets 5 characters from Wind Waker and Spirit Tracks, 1 surprise character from Link's Awakening, and finally 2 characters from a Link Between Worlds. Add it all up, and that's 8 games represented compared to FEW's measly 3. That's almost 3x the amount of games represented. And this isn't even going from the additional maps, story, etc the new content brings. 8:33 Other things to mention here. Besides one part of the story being a watered down version of awakening/fates, another part of it consist of the protagonists fighting each other because of misunderstandings and mock battles. 5 of the 21 chapters consist of these. This goes to show how much the story was lacking with real antagonists when you make the heroes fight each other over and over for dumb reasons. The villains that ARE there really don't serve a purpose other than existing for the sake of having a bad guy. Vaildar appears for 2 chapters, and never appears or be mentioned again. Iago and Gharnef show up out of nowhere for a single chapter and then vanish into oblivion. There is no explanation as to why Vaildar, Iago, and Gharnef joined Gristonne's cause in reviving Velezark, what do they get out of this? The only real relevant antagonist is Dario's, but that's only when he's possessed and this happens late in the story, So all of these antagonists suck! Compare that to Hyrule Warriors. Just with the base game's story, there are 6 main antagonists. The original character trio; Cia, Volga, and Wizzro. And the canon trio; Ganondorf, Ghirahim, and Zant. All of them have relevance in the main setting, not just there for simply having a bad guy. When their not there, their influence still effects the stage. Mission two doesn't have a villain to fight, just enemies, but you don't need to add one because it fits the narrative. The first mission of the OOT path has you fight Darunia, but that's because he was under the influence of brainwashing. The last one has Midna fighting the group due to quick assumptions that their aligned with Cia, this misunderstanding makes sense because Lana actually IS connected to Cia just not in the way Midna's thinking. It's not the dumb quick judgements of the FEW cast where they go "Hmm, my sister/brother/friend is with strangers, They must've kidnapped them!". These guys are supposed to be experienced knights, why do they make such outlandish judgements just by looking at them? 12:52 Wouldn't exactly call these unique features as other musou games have them as well. 19:59 They didn't make a villain pack because all of the villains are clones. Dario's has the same moveset as Rowan and Lianna, and the other 3 share the same moveset with Robin. No one would buy the pack because of this and the devs knew this. 22:38 Not as much as Hyrule Warriors though :v. Alongside the characters, they get a beefy big new map to play on. Although, I don't blame people for saying that it has too much content, I for one enjoy the content, but do get frustrated with some of them. I feel History Mode has too little content, you might call me crazy and say "365 total battles is too small for you?" In some ways yes, That's a pretty small number for a musou game. Hyrule Warriors has 3 times that amount. I agree that for some people, 962 maps is too much, but I enjoy it for how much content I can get. If I have to accept a reduction, then please keep it at 2/3rds of its original amount.

[@lpfan4491]

Honestly, clones or not, I wish the villains did get patched in. And that is the thing, the HW villains were not even locked to their DLC, they were just added in a free update. Heck, their mainstory-versions are not even meant for gameplay and they went out of their way to make seperate playable versions, while the NPC/enemy only-characters in FEW are already mostly complete due to being clones.
