if they had taken things seriously they wouldn't have released the game in such a broken state

Hahaha, this went from must-buy to never-buy for me quite fast xD

That's probably why they had the Nintendo Direct prepared.

Maybe don't spread the word too much or someone might feel the need to shut it all down xD

Damn, I feel a bit stupid for not even once having thought of that xD it seems so obvious now >.<

Don't need to know any internal names. When a new Fire Emblem appears I go and buy it. End of story.

Can't really agree. For me it gets needlessly complicated and I really didn't vibe with the gated leveling system, if it can even be called that. I found the approach of Ara Fell or even Rise of the third power much more appealing personally. But hey, glad you liked it so much^^

well he made the best smash bros. I could have wished for so he got my blessing. But I don't think he can truly stay away from the industry. He'll probably have at least a councelling position somewhere...

@Kyranosaurus:
@LinkSword:
I'm just tired of everyone with a bit of an audience complaining publicly about the smallest things - hoping for some outcry - instead of just trying to solve the issue themselves. I always solve MY problems by myself. It's not that hard really.

And I don't have anything against the guy here specifically, in fact I'm always more for the small guy and against the big corporations by default (cause all they really care about is profit). It was just one too many I saw this week and made me loose my cool for a bit -.-'

So instead of crying publicly about the issue, go solve it! Man, why does everyone has to publicize all their first world problems -.-'

I will always be there day 1 for Dragon Quest, no matter on which console it releases. They never let me down so far (well the numbered games at least).

Haha, hearing stories like this makes me wish the good old "Nintendo Seal of Quality" back. I'd rather have 2-5 good releases a month than 200 shovelware titles.
(not that this game is shovelware, it just sprung the idea)

nice, this will make sure they release the next game in an even more broken state

Well honestly what do they expect? Such a weak handheld just makes their good games look bad and play worse. No wonder people emulate them to play on modern settings (high resolution and framerate).

Also Nintendo has no real right to interfere as long as you buy all your games that you emulate. The only real problem is, that in reality probably no one does that -.-'

I just bought the game because of all the glitches I heard of. Think it will make the game more fun for me in a weird and stupid way. I even turned of the Updates to not have them autopatch it for me xD
Funny how my brain works. Initially I didn't even think about playing that game after the last dissapointing entries -.-'

about what I expected from GameFreak

So...probably not reading this, but on the off chance you do, Miyamoto-san:
誕生日おめでとう！

I guess thats probably cause most adult people dont vote on that stuff

This is just so they can more easily sell you remasters and collections of these old games for way more.

The way they handle it now does nothing for me. I'm not paying them money every month just to "borrow" their old games. There are better ways...

I was already pleasantly surprised by games like Ara Fell and Rise of the Third Power. This looks like another potentially great modern 2D JRPG^^

Haha, cant wait to see future races, where now everyone does this at the last lap xD

I got way too spoiled with most games being 60fps and beautiful on ps5 that I cant imagine ever playing something blurry like that anymore. Maybe I'll watch the cutscenes sometime...I enjoyed at least the story and flashy fight scenes of the first 2 games.

Seems everyone needs to tell us their life story nowadays. What do I care?

I got a bit burned out after the third entry, but I would look forward to a new entry.

@JoeyTS : That would actually be interesting for me. Especially since this game will probably be loaded with iconic cutscenes from all the different games to go along with some of the music. Thanks for bringing that up^^

I DO sometimes listen to FF tracks while playing something else, but I feel like this button pressing challenges would just distract me from enjoying the music..
Well, still glad it exists for people who enjoy that stuff and...i can't really demand for them to use their time to make more actual JRPGs since they seem to release 20 a month anyway xD

Yeah sure tell me everything so I dont even need to play it anymore!

I wish people would stop dragging us into that stuff and solve those problems where they should: either at their meetings or at court.

Really tired of all that stupid drama. Every day someone else has some ***** to complain about.

@Lowell Bell: This was an interesting article to read. Thanks for that. I tried getting into it with Splatoon 2, but these just aren't my kind of games and I was really curious how this franchise got so popular.

Now I have a better understanding of that, thanks!

I'd rather have it be 2D but with snappy or no loading and 1080/60.

I never played a Fire Emblem game because of good graphics. But yeah..can't catch the eyes of the mainstream without some pretty looks apparently. No matter, I will play this day one for sure!

When there is an official announcement about a Switch successor I'll think about buying one, but why bother with that question now?

Nice review! I think every first entry of the franchise is a good starting point. Yes, there's some spoilers, but it won't really take away your enjoyment if you decide to go back and play the older entries.
Just my opinion.

Was this the only japanese developed game for that year? Otherwise I can only imagine how much money changed hands this time..

Even though I don't agree I applaud him for sticking to his principles as opposed to simply chasing money like most other company heads.

Whatever. As long as they keep making good Dragon Quest Games and 2D JRPGs they can do whatever that want as far as I'm concerned.

Next time I go to McDonalds I'll try to order a "McEntire" xD

....or maybe I'll just stick with my McBurn..

Haha, I like this^^
evil grin

@NotSoCryptic: Only time can tell for certain but yeah, it is certainly going in that direction. Ubisoft was an innovative and consumerfriendly company once, but now most of their games make it so obvious they're just here to suck you out your money.

edit: suck (-you) out your money -.-'

Aaand another big publisher succumbing to chinese money -.-' What's next? Microsoft?! xD
