I don't think it would have been perfect, but in my experience quality character dialog that makes you feel invested can go a long ways into making a story more enjoyable, especially if unfolding events are well written (which, I think it would have been better received if they didn't rush it so much and fleshed things out more, instead it kinda felt like Game of Thrones Season 6-7 syndrome where all this plot was hastily condensed to the extent it lost the intended effect).
Obviously the time travel thing was shoehorned in, but likely at the behest of the devs too afraid to let go of a mechanic they weren't sure was what saved the franchise. At that point, they hadn't yet pinned down what made Awakening such as success, and I can understand their reluctance to cut mechanics that they felt may have contributed to that success, even if I disagree with their choice to include it. Let's be grateful they finally felt secure enough to let it go (at the same time, I LOVED the children and generational gap of Awakening, and while I wouldn't want a repeat, Genealogy of the Holy War is the only other game that involves children and successive generations- hopefully that remake is on the way as the Engage leaker said it was).

Fire Emblem devs are sitting on a goldmine. All those years making quality games that nobody was playing. Now they have a 20+ year backlog they can dig into whenever they want. We got a Gaiden 3DS remake with Shadows of Valentia, and FE1/FE3 was remade on DS with Shadow Dragon and Heroes of Light and Shadow, so really, the only games we really don't have access to are the two Jugdral games on SNES (Genealogy of the Holy War and Thracia 776, which should release either as one remake or two successive remakes since Thracia 776 is a mid-quel to Holy War), and Binding Blade on GBA, which our debut western FE release was a prequel of.
Word is they're remaking Holy War, but who knows if Thracia 776 will be part of that. I'm gonna assume no for now. But even if they also remade Thracia and at the very least localized Binding Blade and threw it on NSO whenever GBA games debut (alongside Blazing Blade and Sacred Stones, of course), we still have the two Tellius games from GameCube and Wii, Path of Radiance and Radiant Dawn. Granted, those are already in English, unlike the aforementioned titles, but they'd clean up nice with an HD upres and new textures with QoL features.
I also forgot that Heroes of Light and Shadow never released in the west. Many don't know this (I'm sure you do though), but FE1 with Marth was remade on SNES as FE3, and contained Book 1 as a FE1 remake and an extra Book 2 as a new continuation of the story. Those two books were remade on DS as FE11 (Shadow Dragon) and FE12 (Heroes of Light and Shadow). But FE12 was never localized. Being it's the definitive story of Marth, the most well known series character, I kind of think they should remake those two games as one giant Switch 2 remake, so that fans can experience the story that started it all. I know they localized FE1 on NES and sold for a limited time but... eh. While appreciated, that ain't gonna do anything for curious newcomers.

@JaxonH but are Nintendo/Inteligent Shystem are wylling to remake Fire Emblem 4/5, arent this games considered the darkest game of the Fire Emblem franchise? dont this will be a bad move by Nintendo?
What do you mean "bad move"? Do you even know what the games entail?
Yes, they're a bit darker for the series, but goodness, not dark like that. Of course it would be a good move. A fantastic move, even. It's not Game of Thrones dude, it's just a SNES Fire Emblem game lol

Do you think critically at all, or do you adopt all your opinions from whatever 2 year old hits you get from a search result?
That video is wrong, outdated and frankly, irrelevant. We have NEW information that Holy War is being remade.
So yes, it absolutely is and that person doesn't have a clue what they're talking about.
The person who leaked the Fire Emblem Engage screenshots also said FE4 remake is real. Could they be wrong? Sure, it's possible. But the fact they leaked accurate screenshots of Engage before it was even announced is indicative of their status as a source.

That seems overkill to me. This entire thread is built on it's first post which was talking about a rumoured new Ninty console let alone the hundreds/thousands of posts talking rumours and leaks in it like all the fun arguements about Pokemon Stars, the Switch exclusive new Resident Evil, Metroid Prime remasters, the Zelda HD twin pack, Mother 3 getting a western release, that Star Fox racing game, the Switch Pro etc. Ah memories.
@SlashFuture Nah, there was talk of a Fire Emblem remake with no details beyond it's just being worked on which was already discussed on the previous page but it was remove for some reason.
I've been on this site over a decade and never once, not once, has anyone ever done such a thing. We've discussed all kinds of rumors and leaks.
How the is that a "spoiler"?
The last several pages were talking about Switch 2. Is this person planning on removing all those posts as "spoilers" also?
I think it's time to have a chat with site administrators about the role of moderation and what constitutes abusing power to stifle conversation.
I'm perfectly happy to adhere to whatever community rules are implemented, but as it stands the spoilers rule states no plot details may be revealed. If the powers that be want to revise that rule to prohibit speculation and rumors, that's their prerogative, but right now that's not what the rule states. And it certainly hasn't been enforced with other similar posts.

@jump they removed my conversation about a
remake of Fire Emblem Geneoly of the Holy War? i was trying to explaing to JaxonH why i dont believe Nintendo will release this game(they can release this game or not.
Apparently Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope underperformed according to Ubisoft.
A shame, but it doesn't surprise me. Ubisoft titles are notorious for tanking in price within a few months after launch, and Kingdom Battle has pretty much perpetually been a $20 budget title since like mid-2018. Us dedicated players know to wait for a sale, and general consumers likely thought it was way overpriced because they think the series is a budget series.
Edit: Also Kingdom Battle launched at a time when there was little competition and was really the first major single player title post-Zelda, so it benefited from that.
I agree with the comment above. The first Mario Rabbids released when there were hardly any games on the switch. It was in a very advantageous sales posistion. I really liked the first Mario Rabbids, but skipped the new one.
@gcunit in fairness to her she seems driven by what’s being reported on so if no one is reporting then no action is taken.
A lot of the younger users on here seem paranoid of hot button topics will cause a huge argy bargy (which based on their short few years of life of seeing the MAGA attack on Washington, covid lockdown riots etc they are now scared of the results from a differences of opinion) so they are tad too zealous with the report button. It’s a shame though as most of the users on here are capable of having a conversation with a difference of opinion without calling the other person a ******* **** ****** **** or a ******** ***** **** which would be a good example for them since some of those same younger users seem to go nuclear on touchy subjects with their opinions by posting all cap messages saying rather disturbing things but hey ho.
Hey guys, just popping in here to clear things up! @JaxonH apologies, I removed your post as it was reported as a spoiler, with Engage releasing soon I assumed it was a spoiler for that title. After reviewing, I can see no spoilers were actually in your message so I have reinstated it.
I appreciate all of your feedback, I'm sure you'll understand we are only trying our best to keep the site a great place for discussions and to all share our love for games but sometimes mistakes happen. Thanks for your understanding 💖
@DreamlandGem
Hey, no worries. Thanks for clearing that up.

@EaglyTheKawaiiShika@WoomyNNYes
I think the real reason is that Ubisoft has spent the last 5 years destroying price integrity with fire sale prices mere weeks after their games launch.
Macroeconomics courses even teach about the subject of price integrity and why it's crucial to maintain. You can't spent half a decade actively sabotaging your own price integrity, then act surprised when consumers stop buying your games day 1.
There are consequences for obliterating price integrity. One game getting a quick discount, maybe that won't have much effect. But year after year after year of seeing games drop half price 3 weeks post-launch, $20 in just 2 months... what did they think was going to happen?
I bought day one because it's a killer game and I want to support amazing exclusives like it. But consumer behavior at large will respond to price integrity, or the lack thereof.
I guarantee that is the number one reason the game hasn't done as well as they'd hoped. Combine that with launching just a few weeks away from Persona 5 Royal, Nier Automata, No Man's Sky, Bayonetta 3 and Pokémon... stiff competition from games whose publishers don't destroy price integrity. So when it comes to choosing, are people going to pay full price for the game that takes 2 weeks to drop to half price, or the game that takes 6 months?
In the end, the game didn't drop in price like people thought. But it's too late. That 5 years of historical precedent is what drives consumer decisions.
I do think it'll have long legs though and continue to sell for years to come.
