Re: Review: Fire Emblem Fates (3DS)

@Soren Gee, let's see.. It's from Nintendo and Intelligent Systems, it uses strategy RPG elements and the rock-paper-scissors (axes-lances-swords) formula that the series is known for, it has a wide variety of characters, and an epic storyline. Oh, and it's actually titled Fire Emblem.

Please, tell me how it's not a 'real' Fire Emblem game.

I'm actually shocked that I'm the only one so upset by this, to be honest.

Do any of you remember how this game was initially promoted? Like THIS: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OK5-EIzDtKo

As awesome as the graphics may be, this game does not deliver what was promised in the teaser. I wanted something dark, unique, and at least in flavor with both the franchises. From everything I have seen, this is just another stupid game where the females have massive funbags and the guys are all dolts. They had a chance to do something wonderful and stunning and true. A love letter to both franchises. Instead, nope. Generic anime crap with panty shots, large breasts, and a boring-looking combat system. So much potential, so much promise, completely wasted.

You guys have to understand something: I was rolling on a high from both FE:A and SMTIV when the initial teaser landed for this game. I was excited. I was like, 'I don't care how long it takes, this sounds amazing'. Then the April 1st trailer happened, and I was leery then, but decided to keep an open mind. Now, it's like my poor little fangirl heart was popped in a blender and someone hit the puree button. My rage may not be justified, but my soul-crushing disappointment sure as heck is.

This game is NOT SMT, nor is it Fire Emblem. It's a slap in the face to the fans and an insult to both franchises. I honestly think the dev team had some in-development assets lying around, and when they tried to make a good crossover and failed, in desperation, they pulled out the assets and slapped FE names to some of them. I hate the fact this game exists. If it were released as a whole new IP and not pushed as the SMT x FE crossover, I would not be this pissed off about it.

@NImH Wow, the butthurt here is so intense I can still see the flames spewing forth. Let me make one thing clear: I don't have a New Nintendo 3DS or a Wii U; I don't plan to get either because I just got the Persona Q limited edition 3DS for Christmas. I don't plan to get Amiibos, which at the heart of it, are a cash grab and do little to enhance gameplay other than triggering unlockables. Some people operate on something called a budget, and buying just the game alone is enough to drain extra funds sometimes. If you buy them and enjoy them, great. Go nuts. Amiibo it up. They're just not for me. Period.
