Fire Emblem Fates General Discussion: Filled with Nohrian Scum

Cress · Jan 14, 2015

Fire Emblem Fates is the sequel to Fire Emblem Awakening, both on the 3DS. The game will release on June 25, 2015 in Japan, and in 2016 for the rest of the world.

From the teaser trailer, it has been confirmed that Pair Up will return. The game introduces what appear to be Japanese-style equivalents to the traditional weapon triangle of sword, lance, and axe: the katana (刀), a form of single-edged sword, the naginata (薙刀), a type of polearm with a weapon triangle advantage over swords, and the kanabō (金棒), a truncheon-like weapon. Bows have also gained a placement in the weapon triangle; so far, they are known to have a disadvantage to the katana. It has been confirmed that weapon durability has been removed.
There is also a new Phoenix mode, where dead allies will be revived at the end of every turn. Casual mode is also returning, where dead allies are revived after every battle.

Six named characters appear in the teaser trailer: Kazahana (カザハナ), Hinoka (ヒノカ), Rinka (リンカ), Felicia (フェリシア), Ganz (ガンズ), and Max/Marx (マークス). The trailer also prominently features a blue-haired woman, whose name is currently unknown. A character named Kamui (カムイ) is also mentioned during a conversation. The enemy faction portayed in the trailer are known as the "Soldiers of the Dark Night" (暗夜兵).

The new Fire Emblem ? which has yet to be named in full ? is the story of two kingdoms at war. Players will customize the game's protagonist and choose to side with one kingdom or the other ? the peace-love Hoshido, or the glory-seeking Nohr. The game's battles, outcomes and story will differ accordingly.

Those that side with the Hoshido, Trinen said, are in for a "more accessible," traditional path in regards to the Fire Emblem series. As for those that side with the Nohr, the experience will prove to be more of a challenge as players attempt to revolutionize the kingdom from inside.

EGG 18 IS ETERNAL, IT SHALL NEVER LEAVE

There's speculation that the customizable Avatar returns for this one, which is something I'm excited about.

I don't know that anything can save me from my obsession with Awakening, but I'm still very much looking forward to this one.

windfall · Jan 14, 2015

So hyped. Hope its not new 3ds exclusive because I'd buy it even if it is :'(
My wallet.....

Loving the Japanese-esque designs!

bloomwaker · Jan 14, 2015

Definitely. The new direction with the location (or at least, they seemed new to me) is something I'm looking forward to. I want to watch the trailer again to see what they show off, but I'm stuck at work for a couple of hours more. I haven't even seen the direct yet...

It does seem possible since there was a first-person view part in the trailer. (Honestly I'd rather have an Awakening sequel or prequel, but this is still amazing.)

brutalitea · Jan 14, 2015

I'm so excited! Fire Emblem is my 2nd favorite Nintendo series (after Pokemon).

Solar · Jan 14, 2015

I'm extremely excited, loved Awakening and the character design in this game looks so good. I also really like the concept of having every choice matter.

In terms of story, I sort of completed a lot of Awakening in my head. While it would be interesting to see a sequel, I'm also partially relieved that it's not. A story revolving around the kids would be interesting, though I wonder how they'd deal with everyone's different ships (maybe data from an Awakening file? haha).

Since Awakening had DLC with other games' characters in it, I wonder if FE14 will do the same. I sure hope so. It would be nice to see these characters again.

But seriously, I cannot begin to explain how obsessed I am with Awakening. It's going to be pretty much all I draw this year.

It would be strange if DLC didn't return. The Awakening DLC didn't feel like "milking" (but I've never seen DLC as milking so I might not be the best person to ask) so I would enjoy it greatly. Maybe they'll have the Outrealms again and meet Chrom and everyone from Awakening? And will amiibo be used somehow?

bloomwaker · Jan 14, 2015

If you only play Nintendo games, then DLC probably won't feel like milking to you. I've yet to experience non-Nintendo DLC, but the bad DLC experiences I've heard about have all been outside of Nintendo, while people repeatedly praise Nintendo DLC for actually being very much worth it. Mario Kart 8, for example, has fantastic DLC.

Bread Kennedys · Jan 14, 2015

I'm super hyped for this. I loved Awakening (Still need to beat it) and this looks very promising as well. Kind of hope this is a sequel to Awakening, like how Radiant Dawn was a sequel to Path of Radiance.

It isn't, it has completely new characters and I think Nintendo has said the games don't connect in any way.

bloomwaker · Jan 14, 2015

It seems like the cast of characters is completely different, though.

Ah... I was going to start a new Fire Emblem: Awakening Classic Lunatic file, too. I've played through that game way too many times. I probably won't ever touch Lunatic+ though.

Which reminds me, I wonder what the new, never-before-seen challenges are going to be.

I also want to know more about key story points and visuals. For example, the different colors

I just realized, the necklace seems to be glowing in the second one, but not the first. Maybe it signifies an important turn in the story (hence the added color change). Who knows.

I've bought some DLC on my XBOX 360 but that doesn't feel like milking to me (even if it is only 3 games...)

Why does her outfit look darker than in the trailer?
EDIT: It isn't I guess I just thought it looked more like the second outfit.

She seems to have two color schemes. The lighting in the second one also made me think her hair color had gotten lighter, but since her skin looks lighter too, I'm just going to assume it's the setting and lighting.

I see. I'm dumb.

Still, I'm hyped. I'll be picking this up whenever it comes out.

Joy · Jan 14, 2015

Oh heck yessss I'm stoked

I just started playing Awakening and I'm new to the franchise but I love it so far
