[@pokedude720]

[@15KMH]

Definitely wouldn't like this, it would pretty much destroy the whole idea of the fight. You as the player have to decide if you're strong enough and how much risk to take to beat the Black Knight or if retreating is the better option, essentially putting you in Ike's shoes at that moment. Adding a checkpoint or making it it's own map would take away all the tension and you could just keep attacking and hoping for the best until you finally win.

[@misterpayah7723]

The very existence of feral laguz was the devs admitting that the laguz mechanic just didn't work. I think they should implement a hybrid PoR/RD system as follows: - Keep the RD gauge and Transform/Untransform commands to add agency & strategic decision-making. - Keep the PoR stat modification formula. RD's approach of doubling stats made untransformed laguz so frail during the late-game they'd die immediately. - Let laguz attack while untransformed with kicks/punches (also during PP) so they are still useful, but add bonuses while transformed to incentivise transforming. I don't mind keeping the royal laguz OP in this game with permanent formshift because they're so rare. In RD though they needed rebalancing.

[@MasterJP28]

I feel like modern FEs sticking to the good ol stone mechanic is the way to go. The meter makes no sense, I always stuck to a Demi Band and Royal Band. Give them a variety of attacks with different damages and accuracies. Or at the very lease, let the laguz initiate combat untransformed too.

7:50 3 Houses has just as much if not MORE dialogue than Path of Radience and it is all voice acted so I don't think there's a need to worry about the game being fully voiced . And PoR is one of theost beloved games so I think they go all out for it

[@15SoccerEagle]

The problem is budget. 3 Houses was a main line game and received a full budget. A remake would almost certainly not have the same budget as a main line game (unless they're trying really hard to appease the Tellius fanboys). And entirely new voice acting for such a text heavy game would drain a lot of the budget. Don't get me wrong, I'm holding out hope because it would be awesome. But I would also understand if the studio said that it wasn't worth it in order to make the actual game itself viable.

honestly, the only thing I would have to reluctantly agree with. Most people's ideas are bad like "drastically rework the BK fight so that you can have a save before it, nihil on both characters, and guarantee the victory for Ike so that it fits with the Radiant Dawn plot." For example. And this idea (transferrable skills) is a tough pill that could have unintended consequences. But at least I'm not totally opposed to it.

[@Xertaron.]

I'd like to see cut concepts being implemented. Volke for example was supposed to have 5 supports and only one of them survived to the final game. Elincia used to have 7. A lot items in the code are completely unused, like S rank wind and fire tomes, member card and more. Blessed Armor doesn't make sense, since most of your characters wouldn't be able to do a single point of damage to BK anyway, while against Ashnard it's just tedious when most of your party becomes effectively useless. It really takes away from both of them - they're not intimidating because they're powerful, but because they have plot armor.

[@Icemario87]

@@pizzatime9261 what did (those bastards) do?

[@Vanguard771]

Dump biorhythm. It's a mechanic that feels completely separated from every other aspect of the game. I don't like being punished by a constant upswing and downswing of hit and dodge percentages. Or tie it to story and supports. If you keep supported characters near each other have their biorhythm stay consistently high. If a story beat means a character is carrying an emotional burden (Jill fighting her dad) have their biorhythm stay low for the chapter. If characters die have the characters they were supported with have low biorhythm for the next chapter.

[@michaeldanielson6206]

I thought biorhythm was a neat concept overall but I can agree it does have negative effects on the gameplay. They just need some way for the player to control it, kind of like what they did in RD with the herons' "Bliss" galdr to raise a given unit's biorhythm. I think they could apply that to PoR as well, although preferably it would be something the player would get earlier because having to deal with biorhythm for the first 17 chapters before getting Reyson, with no way to change it, would be very tedious. I definitely agree with your point as well, tying it to the emotions of the characters through story and supports would be interesting and would make it much more predictable and controllable.

[@justsomejojo]

Tying it to the story would make so much sense! I'd love that. I remember in my first playthrough of PoR, the battle after Shinon and Gatrie leave was actually pretty hard and desperate because I barely knew how to play without these two strong boys. But nowadays, it's a relatively easy chapter to do. Making all biorythm low in that map specifically would make sense and add a fixed challenge to it. Not sure if I want it to still affect accuracy though - less damage and dodge would be fine though. You could also use something like this to emphasize the relation between Beorc and Laguz, Laguz and Laguz and Beorc and Beorc. The game's story is about that anyway, so it'd make sense that Laguz would be less motivated to fight their berserk brothers as Tibarn would phrase it. Except ravens, they don't care, just going by Naesala. Beorc soldiers being afraid to fight Laguz would make sense too (for bandits and grunt soldiers at least) Or they'd be riled up and actually always have high biorythm against them in some extreme cases (like the militia of that one port town for example)

[@nintendoaddict12]

Or maybe tie it to Bonus EXP, like using it lowers the units' biorhythm in exchange.

[@Icemario87]

I agree that biorhythm is completely uninteractive and therefore just seems like background noise. But I'd be hardpressed to say it has no ties to the story. Idk about your Jill, but my Jill had low Biorhythm on the chapter with her General Shiharim (sp?).

[@bluntlyhonest6803]

I don't think Base conversations would be that big of a problem if it were to get voice acting, Echoes also kind of had base conversations and Three houses made conversations but for Every single character after every single Mission. I'd say it would be easier to make in all respect. Edit: of course Money would be the Main issue.

I think a faithful remake with just the quality of life improvements of modern FE would result in a fine and clean cut remake. All it really needs is that,smoother graphics and gameplay improvements from Radiant Dawn which I'd say would solve the problems with Bonus EXP and Laguz. But if I were to answer what I want from it instead if what it needs would be indeed a half measured voice acting like how many rpgs nowadays are text heavy and do have their fair share of voice acting but not with every last word of dialogue. I personally don't think the difficulty outside of Maniac is that much of a problem that they need to address,but I guess I'd just say we should get a new Lunatic mode to replace Maniac and discard Easy Mode. What I also want is them to redesign the Black Knight so his duel with Ike doesn't so luck based and Ashnard so he isn't so invincible. Maybe make him a bit more like a team effort boss where you chip him down with all your units. That way you can actually bother seeing all the quotes.

Maybe they'll make some improvements to it.

I would like more post game options. Maybe a randomize option after you beat the game with enemy characters and their weapons being swapped in different areas of the map. More bonus levels with beating the level difficulties. Also just like Radiant Dawn where you need to beat the game twice to unlock more dialogue and characters, there should be a reason to play through the same game two or more times.

[@KEZAstraYT]

@Dan F you could have a second playthrough where when the black knight throws the sword to greil he uses it to wound the black knight forcing him to retreat but as a way to not clash with the story either make it obvious that its not canon or make him be like mycen where he could join alm but he doesnt until the final chapter

[@Icemario87]

@@KEZAstraYT You could also have a second playthrough where Caineghis shows up 5 minutes late and Ike is killed along with his dad. But not in a way that messes with the story like make it obvious that it's not canon or like make it so that he's like Kakarot and can return for the fight in Ch 27.

[@Testbug000]

Obviously we need an avatar, who can marry everyone, with children setup to be addd into radiant dawn. The avatar will by micaiah’s father/mother who lost their memories of ruling begnion, who joined Greil because, uh. They, uhmmmm. LOOK OVER THERE! In radiant dawn, they’ll join the dawn brigade at the prologue as a tier 3 unit, to help their daughter. Before in part 2 joining elencia, to uh, uh. Because they wanted to find a uh, renown female thief (heather). Than in part 3 they join the grail mercenaries to try to find micaiah again. And uh, jump between the mercs, dawn brigade and goeffery because warp powder. (Yes, not with warp powder, but because of warp powder). At the start of part 4, they auto level to level 20, before promoting to tier 4 (which only exists for the avatar, of course) and having access to all weapon types with SS rank, canto, a mount (that has no weapons effective against it) and cannot be targeted by spirits. I think these are great changes that would really bring the game up to modern standards NOTE: I do not want this. Although I half expect it. :|

[@MonsterHunterAeos]

You know what I want? I new FE Character Spotlight! So when Mangs when!?

[@lukehittle5795]

I think it would be cool if there were a couple “gaiden chapters” where you got blessed weapons so that some units could help Ike beat ashnard

[@ZER0lPT]

As my first FE and my favorite I would be happy to see a remake of it but I think FE4 needs it a lot more and I'm also very interested in it's story but the giant maps and outdated graphics don't help. Here are things I want to see in a PoR remake aside the things Mangs want: - I want more cutscenes. Especially one for the duel between Ike and Black Knight (one before and one after the battle, the cutscene would change if you beat him or escape), before starting the final map against Ashnard and after beating him. I'm very surprised there isn't a single cutscene with Ashnard in PoR OG. And I would love if they were done by the guys who did the Awakening and Fates cutscenes. - I want a BGM Map selector. I want to select the music I want to hear while I'm playing a chapter or preparing my units. (This feature could be something unlocked after you beat the game once.) - I want an extra chapter where you control Ike and Mist's parents. It could be just a training chapter where you beat up a child Ike. Why do I want this you may ask... Well I just want to see how Ike's mother is like and I wouldn't mind a bit of fanservice where you control Greil and/or their mother for one chapter. It could be done right after the death of Greil and I think if done right it would add even more of an impact to this very important part of the story. - I want Volke to be voiced by David Hayter (Voice of Snake from MGS) Come on... I can't be the only one wanting Snake to tell me you need 50 gold to open a chest. - I want a special reward cutscene that can only be unlocked if you beat the game with everyone alive. That cutscene would show something related to Radiant Dawn. It could be Micaiah encountering child Sothe.

[@SentinelKingPokedex]

Similar to what I hope they do for Fe6. I'd like their to be better ties into the other game of irs continent. Not full on changing the story of the game, but make things connecting better to the other.

[@robaladin163]

I feel like they can't go back on the turnwheel at this point. Even as someone who doesn't use it I'm all for it. Using it once in an entire playthrough after a long map is undeniably better than restarting. It shouldn't be taken away from people that want to use it because you don't

[@Icemario87]

when was that introduced? (and no onder people say PoR is too easy, they are used to using a turn wheel, wtf)

[@m4ydani]

i really want the remake to just be called fire emblem radiance and it combines the stories of path of radiance and radiant dawn in one game, but i guess that's too much too ask

[@bossrosslp]

You know, I had a thought at work yesterday, and now I can't get the thought out of my head; What if instead of a remake, or rather alongside it, it's a Path of Radiance/Radiant Dawn Manga/Movie/OVA/Anime? Both games lend themselves, perhaps more than many of the other games, to a continuing narrative told through other forms of media, and would probably sell really well in both NA and Japan. It's an avenue that would spark a new outlet for other games in the series, and hell other Nintendo games in general, to branch off of. And let's be honest, I want to see something like this come true. Not just for the inevitable memes it would generate, but the story itself is quite spectacular. If Nintendo did this, it would certainly be an interesting maneuver.

[@pizzatime9261]

As long as it's just an adaptation of the story that doesn't have exclusive canonical story content making it mandatory to watch/read to get the full story, then I'm for it.

[@mc.type_guy]

In terms of voice acting, I think that they should only voice act parts of the game that the players is nearly guaranteed to experience, like the main story and such, or voice act the really important moments, like in Persona 5 Edit: also RD style BEXP (3 guaranteed stat ups) and laguz promotions

[@Yuni-is-Schrodingers-Fox]

RD style BEXP is trash and ruins the game

[@Locklen]

I don't think divine pulse ruins FE in and of itself, but I agree that it isn't needed here, since the game drip feeds you new units, that are at least usable (though not amazing) when you get them (as opposed to the 3H method of introducing characters who COULD have been filler units, but are instead unceremoniously killed off, like that relative of Caspar). Mechanics wise I'd be ok with showing a bit of love to the mages in the game, mostly through forging changes (more than basic tomes forgeable, and prices more in line with physical weapons) and weapon exp boosts (GL using Rexbolt on anyone without some serious arms scroll usage, or some kinda strange grind) I'd be ok if they added in the cut weapons that exist in the randomizer. As for story stuff, I'd be ok if they made some changes/small additions with Radiant Dawn in mind. And yeah, DLC outweighing the game price is a bad look, especially for a console game.

[@somethingwithultra7231]

I'm really curious about the potential remake. Cause if it was true that it was supposed to release in 2020, on it's 15th anniversary, then it'd make sense if it were to get announced on the 20th here too (as it's the 16th anniversary for it already by then). But who knows, maybe if we do get remake announcements this year they'll be absolutely out of nowhere two months after their anniversary dates.. Really really hard to speculate about that.

[@jacobtrost5048]

I really just don't want them to mess with the story too much. PoR's story is really well-written and the characters involved in it are all pretty interesting. The last thing we need is a self-insert with amnesia who turns out to be like the key to all the mysteries or something.

[@inconemay1441]

Even SOV didnt have an avatar figure. The most apparent character addition in that game is on the villain side because of how barebones the villain roster is in Gaiden (so many throwaway generic knights and spooky mages) and the limited screentime the major villains got.

[@dundidely1519]

Intelligent Systems needs Mangs on their developer team. Looking forward to his hack more than a remake tbh

[@amirite01]

I really like the branching promotions from the newer games being implemented, with different stat gains, changes to growth rates and master skills that come with it. It would add replay value to the game with different ways to play the same characters. Also I think a sliding difficulty would be interesting. Like, you get 2 bars with 3 choices each within. The bars being enemy amount, and enemy stats. Then within you have easy, medium/normal, and hard (though the names should change). With easy choice on the enemy amount bar, you get less enemies, with normal you get the normal amount of enemies, and on hard, you get more enemies. With stats your choice affects the stats of the enemies.

[@MobiusLeader007]

Agreed on all points. Especially the avatar part. Don't add a new character like Faye either who exists just to drool over the main lord. I might not buy the potential remake out of personal principle if they add an avatar.

[@theemperorofthecrimeworld7381]

If I was too guess about a remake? In all honesty I wish they fixed how broken the skill system worked we all remember Wrath vantage which is terrifying

one thing i'm surprised no one.. probably ever thought about regarding a path of radiance remake is Battle Saves- cuz trying to perfect stats for some units for the radiant dawn transfer in path of radiance(without using hacked/or downloadable completed save files. disregard bonus exp, as this is more from a combat exp/max specific stat of a class guide perspective) is actually very.. tedious knowing you have to restart entire maps over.(i had to restart a lot of times just to get perfect rng levels for soren in ch 4.) battle saves deff should be a thing for PoR for ease of play(and especially leveling)

[@tahsinhasan3960]

Great video! FE 9 and 10 are two of my favorites from the series, probably because of nostalgia. A lot of the problems described in path of radiance was fixed and Radiant Dawn. They could just use the battle save system from radiant Dawn which was not allowed in the hardest difficulty as an alternative to redo turns. I would personally like both games integrated together in one cartridge, with the ability to carry over benefits from having save data from the first game. I also would like the ability to add Ike’s father to be playable in the second play through if there was a way to add him without compromising the storyline.

[@greenpoolball5136]

Might be a stretch, maybe they'll bring back ideas from the unused beta content. I hope they make the BK vs Greil fight scene a tad bit longer so it's more intense.

[@crocworks]

Path of Radiance was already a great game. The only things I'd be happy with changing is just speeding up the animations.

[@kimaru135]

I'm a few months behind but I'm going to put my defense on the divine pulse / turn wheel being a good addition to the game. I might have this view as the first game I played was three houses and as such i got used to it. I feel like its a positive device as if i make one small mistake and my character takes an unlucky crit on a long mission I feel I wasted like a half hour because I feel compelled to play through the whole map again. And if im trying to get a strategy to work like i spent hours on chapter 15 trying to spare as many of the Laguz as possible and I just hated it. I will agree that three houses went overboard with how many of the charges they gave you and think the easiest solution is just to have it as an option when you pick difficulty.

[@hues_of_neon]

21:30 Goodness gracious Mangs, don't need to come after Divine Pulse like that lmao. I wouldn't mind a Divine Pulse type mechanic, in fact it makes the harder difficulties easier to play for good amounts of time without being draining. I can play Maddening mode for longer than say CQ Lunatic because I'm not paranoid that every small mistake or oversight will result in me having to replay the whole chapter. However it should definitely be more limited. It should also NOT BE CANON. We've had that be the case twice and it worked okay but mostly just resulted in plot holes. Just make it a gameplay feature. I also think that making it more limited on higher difficulties, making it an option that you can select at the start of a playthrough or penalising the player for using it too much could work. Like a BEXP requirement is not using pulses or something. So long as they don't design the game around Divine Pulse like 3H, I'm fine with it returning in a limited capacity.

[@MasterJP28]

If Bonus Exp is brought back, use that as a turn wheel. 100 points = 1 return. Increase the exchange rate and reduce exp earned on higher difficulty. Implement a hard cap per chapter so it's not completely abused. Someone hoards 10K exp, can only use it a maximum of say 5 times in the chapter.

[@benjiiiiiiiii]

My least favourite part of PoR is how long it takes to get a varied roster. You don't have to bench anyone until chapter 10 where all of a sudden six units are instantly benched and the number grows so quickly. It'd be nice if they re-wrote events to give you units a bit earlier, since as it stands the first several chapters are less enjoyable to replay since the units are set.

[@d0ttxt]

I'm fine with avatars as long as they aren't in remakes. There is no reason to forcefully add avatars where there weren't. I think that should be obvious based on everyone's favourite avatar from the marth remakes

[@fromeggman]

More content in general, but full voice overs like Echoes.

[@toffeeFairy]

I'd like for bonus exp working like getting exp from enemies works, so it would allow to get new units up to speed, but over leveling a unit would be really hard.

[@valemontgomery9401]

Having a text box popping up telling you exactly what bonus exp you can earn is kinda dumb. Part of the fun of it was paying attention to seemingly superfluous details like "those people would be sad if all these green units died" and being rewarded for it made it more fun

I only want the posibility of save Rajaion's life, the first time I played it, I really thought we had saved him, then in radiant dawn he was dead and well.......poor Ena.

[@danieldavidtoomer]

I think an S Rank Weapon would do really well for circumventing the blessed armor. It would make sense cause all S Rank weapons would make sense to be blessed. This was partially used in RD. This would also limit your number of weapons you could use to fight him, and would further incentivize you to get S Rank Weapons

[@tonymack]

I think the option of Bexp is ok..you dont HAVE to for instance make Jill a gamebreaker right away. You could limit yourself to 1 or 2 levels per chapter if you want..but I wouldn't want to limit options for other things like solo runs etc

[@johnwall3619]

Would honestly love som more control over how my journey develops. I do not necessarily want PoR to go fullt down the Sacred Stones route with Skrimishes, non-story battles and such, but having the choice between different promotions have alway seemed like a great feature to me. Makes the second+ runthrough way more interesting. Would also love to have some post-game options.

[@Aeivious]

So like I'm super torn on Avatars. On one hand they don't fit into the story well and usually have to have a pretty bland personality in order for it to be a self insert. On the other hand you have the replayability that adds a lot of enjoyment to it. My favorite avatar is Kris. You can choose you class from the get go and the stat choices you make feel extremely relevant, my only issue with Kris specifically is that some of the classes you choose are impossible to use at higher difficulties, like not just hard, impossible, there's certain maps you can't beat with your starting class.

[@Icemario87]

impossible? meaning..? (sorry never played it)

[@pewkirby19]

I'd like it if they added some of the scrapped supports like Sothe and Volke for example.

[@linkdude09]

I see what you mean on divine pulse, so consider, tying the mechanic to an item that loses durability when DP is used. So instead of 10 uses that refill between maps, you get maybe 50 uses for the entire game, (about 2 uses per chapter) and once it's gone, you can't DP at all for the rest of the game. Edit: I should say this isn't my idea originally, I believe the original concept was either from lucky crit or blazing knight but I can't remember

[@n00bplayer72]

> Let Sothe promote so that he's not just a walking teaser for Radiant Dawn. > I agree about the Blessed Armour. The problem with games like Echoes, FE6 and Tellius is that you have all these units that you raised up but the main Lord MUST be the one to fight the final boss. Roy had to kill Iduun to get the best ending and Ike had to kill Ashera or she'd revive. Make it like FE3 where you SHOULD fight Medeus with Marth/Tiki, but nothing's stopping you from soloing him with Phina, or FE4 where you could roflstomp Julius with Julia or have your muggle characters scratch him to death.

[@SilentVinyl]

making Laguz fun to use would be a huge improvement.

[@haruhirogrimgar6047]

I actually prefer a system of sound effects and only voicing majour cutscenes. I might be able to enjoy voice acting if I can speed it up, but normally I can read at least 3x faster than VA's read the script so I normally just have to mute the game unless I want to waste time. A text heavy game is better off if I can just get an idea for what the characters sound like and read at my own pace.

[@feelsweirdman_1823]

I think most of us read faster than the voice actors speak in games when they put the text in front of you like fire emblem but...most of us refuse to read 🤣

[@XxMeatShakexX]

"even ike gets strong" what fire emblem doesn't have the MC balling out of control? Laguz were dumb because they get so little xp for a marginally useful unit. They basically stuff your roster with a bunch of starter paladins when by the time you get most of them you have a packed roster of maxed out recruits. When they actually are able to get decent xp from enemies they're way too weak to be useful so you either gimp your roster leveling them early or just ignore them the whole game. True with the blessed armor too. Was so weird to have Jill scream about killing Ashnard then she just does 0 damage and gets dropped. Also from a plot perspective what's stopping Ashnard and the Black Knight from just taking on the entire world solo since nothing can harm them?

[@WaterZer0]

Roy is... okay. Lyn is shit. Eliwood is also okay. Hector is maybe above average. Eirika and Epharim aren't exactly special. Micaiah is an okay magic user and arguably a handicap in early chapters.

[@RoyPlummer1995]

I agree with most of your points save for your critique of the Laguz's transformations. The Laguz start out with enormous power and the game would be far too easy if they had the ability to always remain transformed.

Mmmm you know would it be possible to have the animal characters have beastones (or something similar to those stones) like fates & awakening and maybe have a bar that once filled unlocks stats and/or a special actions but only for a limited amount of actions or turns then the bar is back to square one for another cycle
