Switch to allow for "completely different" Fire Emblem, breathe life into characters

Probably because they'll be able to have 3D models that express emotion instead of a few images for the text parts of the game.

Hopefully by "breath life into characters" they don't mean more creepy Vita shit like the face rubbing mini game.

I'm hoping that like Echoes all dialogue will be voiced.
It adds a lot when everyone in your army has as a voice during dialogue segments.

I'm guessing this means character model detail and animations will be improved on Switch, allowing for the characters to have more life to them? The jaded part of me thinks that this is about having more convincing face-petting mini-games.
I hope FE Switch has proper production values. PoR and RD looked quite bad for their systems, but I thought the 3DS ones looked pretty good for the hardware. Given how Intelligent Systems's Wii U games looked, I hope we can expect great things from their Switch projects.

Yeah, after Fates a statement like that just makes me worry what kind of shit they'll now shoehorn into the franchise.

Interested to see what gameplay style they choose. Are they going to go full anime like Disgaea or more traditional like PoR/RD.

I was always wondering why there was never a release on the Wii U. Despite it being a failure, it still sold millions which would have still gladly bought Fire Emblem. Frankly, I was waiting for a Fire Emblem announcement before I jumped at the Wii U, in the beginning.
It would have been perfect with the 2nd screen capability, just like the 3DS with higher resolution though....
Yes. That would fit nicely with the Fire Emblem series.

This. Also in game models will finally look close to the artworks, hope they keep Kozaki around. That style would translate amazingly well to detailed 3D models (look at Chrom in the FE:W gameplay trailer for example), the artbooks from both Awakening (GS bonus) and Fates (LE) are absolutely great.
I also hope i can select japanese voices.

I do like the Digital Frontier cutscenes in PoR more than the Khara stuff I've seen so far in Echoes, but that's not on IntSys. For battles, I unsurprisingly prefer the snappy 2D animations. Hope the Switch entry can find the best balance for presentation.
What makes you think petting is gone?

HD petting? It's unfortunate the Switch doesn't have a stylus.

The return of feet.
I think the first-person battle option in Awakening is still the most bizarre mechanical detail they've added into the series - the somewhat controversial Fates bonding additions at least made sense in terms of allowing additional connections with the characters, and were at least relatively successful with the series' targeted demographic.

And now...I'm creeped out enough to be curious on what this gif is about.

What I meant was the polygons looked horrid. Everything was drab, low quality textures. You could tell the budget was thin.
If they use the live2D models from Fates as the models used for combat etc then it may not be really gone.
We all know it's gotta be leading to this, live2D is probably a good enough program for them to start doing scenes that will no longer just be a lot of dialogue text, we could get full voice acting with the characters animated as they speak.
But who knows, I just think that's where it would likely go seeing as one of the draws people like are the animated cutscenes in every fire emblem game since path of radiance.

No. Just no.
Switch version to use the portability of the Switch to incorporate "real-world events", so you can bring your chosen waifu on real dates. Simply bring the device to any of the recommended locations, set up the kick-stand and place it directly across from you at the table, and participate in a pleasant conversation as you enjoy your meal.

petting was cringeworthy so i hope they wont let it return. what i want is dungeon crawling like echoes and character support system with full real time cutscenes. other than that i hope they further refine the combat animations which are great but still lack the flashyness of the gba animations
I actually like the petting

Really excited for this title, i'm hoping with the power of the switch they can be able to create an amazing fire emblem game that surpases the recent handheld ones
Hasn't the series had more handheld entries than console at this point?
(I count 7 Console vs 8 Handheld) Though I don't really care, Switch blurs the line now anyways.
Although for us in the west, it's certainly had more entries on handhelds, (2 GBA, 1 DS & 3 3DS games vs the 2 console games localized).
I think of it as a handheld game and prefer it that way, the handheld games always felt faster to play (I don't know if they were faster but the GC Wii games did feel clunky to play)
I'm hoping they just continue the style of the 3DS games on Switch - I love how they're made. Don't need crazy detailed animations on the map, keep it simple and fast. Leave that stuff for the battle scenes (I can turn it off when I want to speed things up)

Can I ask... Why? Like, yeah.
Anyway, I'm expecting them to look at the astonishingly fantastic Valkyria Revolution and copy everything from that.
/s - I winced typing that.

That wouldn't sell. Everyone knows otakus don't go outside.
