Topic: Fire Emblem Warriors

@Tyranexx huh, Impa was one of my favourites in Warriors, but I wasn’t much of a fan of Sheik.

The Shadow Dragon units are some of my favourites, but overall everyone is pretty fun to use for me. I think Tiki is my personal favourite, but I’m also looking forward to getting Lyn.

I had turns playing as everyone in Hyrule Warriors but my favourites were Ghirahim and Sheik. I didn't really prefer the big, slow characters like Darunia so I'm guessing I'll avoid their FE Warriors equivalent.

I'm hoping there isn't a character like Agitha because she was a pain to play as. Riding a butterfly is nice but it would take forever to deal damage

Same here. I wanted to like playing as Darunia, but that type of playstyle didn't really click with me.

@yokokazuo: To summarize, I liked how you could change the element of Sheik's attacks. I found that to be quite useful.

As for Lyn, when I play FE Warriors, I'm almost sure she'll be one of my go-to units. She was my favorite character from FE7 (though Hector was a close second).

I think Celica too and I really liked Shadows of Valentia. I really hope it sold well enough for more remakes of Japan exclusives.

@Tyranexx Yeah I never really enjoy the slow characters. I find the "heavy" characters in fighting games impossible to enjoy.

I haven't managed to figure out who the Darunia of FE Warriors is yet from trailers. I would naturally think of Camilla filling that role but Tiki seems kind of slow due to her dragon gimmick and animations. I'll have to play it for myself to figure that out

@Grumblevolcano I think Echoes was amazing but there were of course some flaws (boring maps in dungeons, some of the most heavy handed foreshadowing I think I've seen in a game ect).

I'm expecting a new Switch title or two first so that they have a good amount of experience with the new console and engine. After that I would hope for a remake of Genealogy of the Holy War or Thracia 776, after all they would basically count as new titles to a western audience but would probably require a little less effort on their part.

@Kimyonaakuma

Oh that would be so awesome. I love Holy War and Thracia 776. In fact I just started playing Holy War again on SNES Classic (the recent Project Naga translation). Never did get too far in either game, because I always end up switching the platform I'm playing it on and start over. But they're both really great games. A different feel than the GBA entries. A remake of those games in the vein of Shadows of Valentia would be a dream.

Not sure if anyone posted but, this unboxing of the special edition and amiibo is great.

The amiibo have the same base as the Alm and Celica amiibo, so they match nicely. And the special edition cards are insanely nice. There like the size of an iPad mini, glossed foil and really shiny with a card for each character. Now I'm going to want to display each one of them and I don't have room on my Fire Emblem display shelf.

@Grumblevolcano The main reason I think a Fire Emblem Warriors sequel has a chance is because the people developing this one said that they want to make a sequel with characters from games like the Tellius ones. I think they even said in an interview that they are saving Roy and Ike for a sequel, or at least they'd be involved in the story of a sequel.

@TheLegendOfLaser DLC is key here. The developers said after the already confirmed DLC, future DLC is down to the fanbase and that's where we'll see lots of older characters. There's no need to create sequels on the same platform as the original if you can just expand existing games, that's why games like Mario Kart 9 shouldn't exist on Switch.

@Grumblevolcano You are right. I think there's a chance either one could happen, but they might make a sequel to improve on things from previous entries. But they could also just develop DLC to represent older games and leave it at that. I'd personally be okay with either one, as long as they add enough new content to the potential sequel.

@Tyranexx ah, I see. Had kind of forgotten about that.
I think Sheik just never felt right for me, generally preferred the play styles of most other characters.

@Kimyonaakuma I don’t think any character has really felt slow to me at least.
Darunia was also a character I didn’t like too much, but I haven’t really had a problem with any character.
Tiki is pretty fun outside of her Dragon form and she can put her musou gauge into her Awakening one to use her dragon form easier.

Fliers do feel a bit different though, but I love them for their great mobility. There are also some parts where gaps block your way on foot, but flying units (including a transformed Tiki) are able to fly over them for some short cuts.

@yokokazuo Does this game have the kind of map design were you will be right beside your next destination, but you are blocked by a cliff/wall?
Other Warriors games do this to some extent, and while in the grand scheme of things it isn't too bad, every time it happens I'm driven up a wall.

@Kimyonaakuma: Personally the only heavy fighter I've liked in any fighting game was Ganondorf in Smash. He never seemed to control too badly for me, though I may be a tad biased since he's one of my favorite villains of all time.

Past that though, I'm not a fan of heavy characters. I suppose there's an audience for them, but I'm not part of it lol.

@yokokazuo: I'll admit that it took me a bit to warm up to Sheik, but after I got used to the playstyle, I found the elemental flexibility to be quite fun! I liked many of the characters, though I felt like I was almost cheating when using Ganondorf; I don't think I ever lost a battle using him.

@JaxonH I've played a decent amount of Holy War but eventually got caught up in other games. Thracia 776 is supposedly really good too. We can only hope that they remake them but they might as well, Heroes has probably raised the profile of the games already.

I was initially worried for Shadows of Valentia seeming as it was due to release very soon after the announcement, making me think it could of been rushed. However it was an amazing game and I think if IS can look back on older games and learn from them then maybe the old classic FE fans might be a little happier (seems unlikely though ). I was interested to see the character artist change for Echoes but I'm not sure if it's permanent. I liked Hidari's character portraits but I think the pre-rendered scenes looked better in Fates. I'm not sure if that's to do with the artist change or maybe there was a smaller budget, who knows?

@yokokazuo I'm happy that none of the characters have seemed too slow! I'm excited to use the flying characters but I didn't know that they had shortcuts.
I think Tiki might be one of the better characters, especially if her dragon form is really different, I didn't even know that it could fly! Yay!

@Tyranexx Smash isn't really my kind of game so I can't comment on that, but his trident in Hyrule Warriors was really fun to use...even if it was extremely overpowered

Erm... just being curious... am I the only one who will get this on New 3DS?

@Kimyonaakuma I think the most likely way of satisfying both groups of fans would be to alternate between new and Echoes. So something like this starting with what's already known (Fates, Shadows of Valentia):

• Fates
• Shadows of Valentia
• Switch FE
• FE6 remake
• 2nd new Switch FE
• FE4 remake

...and so on.

@roy130390 I'll probably get it for the 3ds when I do get it.

@roy130390 I'm still on the fence. I would like to play it as soon as possible on 3DS but I'm probably better off waiting until I buy a Switch. I'll see how tempted I feel on release day.

@Grumblevolcano Seems like a good plan for them after the success of Echoes. I guess it depends on how much they change things up for the Switch version.

@roy130390: Considering the fact that I still rock the original 3DS, I find it highly unlikely that I'll get that version (at least for a while). I was hoping to find a decent Black Friday deal for a N3DS, but with how my laptop is acting up, I'll probably be replacing that instead.

@Tyranexx Oh yeah I remember that you also planned to upgrade your original model. Sorry to hear about your laptop mate, I did get my New 3DS normal size and even managed to get the pokemon 20th anniversary edition for a couple more bucks thanks to a friend that traveled to the US. I'm really happy with it.

@Kimyonaakuma @Meowpheel I'm pretty happy with the performance from what I've seen and there's still a lot of time before I get a Switch, so I'm definitely getting this one on the New 3DS, considering that I never played Hyrule Warriors and that I'm a big fan of the FE series.
