Fire Emblem Heroes Bridal Blessings event announced

You mean the DS remakes that did so poorly they damn near killed the series off?

The DS remakes which piggybacked on the last several mainline games which also did poorly. You know damn well those remakes weren't the only reason the series was doing poorly, just as you know it's insane to expect remakes of old ass games to do anywhere close to what the last 2 mainline games have done. A remake not selling over a million like the last 2 games have done, does not mean it's a failure.
 
The real question is, in the inevitable groom event, who will be the FE7 rep to go along with Lyn?

Hector? Eliwood? Rath?
Florina?
Rath.
The game seemed to lean towards him or Hector. Don't see Hector because I find him being the only guy that can pair with Florina hilarious

On the other hand, I do think some of the criticisms are warranted and fair. There's a lot of effort and thought put into the opinions of some of the members of the community. In that sense, Fire Emblem is one of the more meticulous communities around even if that comes with the consequence of being harsher than it needs to be at times. I do fear that another wave of change is in order with FE Switch on the horizon however.



Shadow Dragon is freaking awesome though. So many tight difficulty modes even if the game isn't as insane as New Mystery. Plus the script is great.

I totally get that too. there are plenty of legit complaints that can be made for Awakening and Fates. It's sort of the shunning and gatekeeping that becomes a problem.

And people should go get Echoes too. It's a good remake of the 2nd game in the series, and it's also a Kaga designed and written game. No excuses for even the old guard fans to not get it. The character designs are tastefully done by Hidari. The outfits are not outlandishly done like Kozaki's art from Awakening or Fates, but more practical and like a modern update of the older look the series is well known for.

Wellll i was kind of expecting this.
But, i really hope that other than awakening, and heroes they will not grab this kind of "content" to other mainline FE.


At least not on the main content of the game.
They can make shit tons of dlc for people that enjoy this things, but not on the main game please.

It prints money!
That Lyn unit though...

Edit:and yeah, Echoes is fantastic. No reason to complain if you preferred older FE games with this one.

lol, wedding event Charlotte before a default version? Wonder if we'll even get a regular version
Cordelia looks a little better here tho

Lame there's no males in this banner, but I guess the excuse is that its a female only class in Awakening.

They already did the same with xander and the spring event.
Special event unit before the normal one, that was introduced by GHB
 
Makes me wish they had battle quotes

Chrom telling Cordelia she's the second best bride he's ever seen... only beaten by his own wife
Caeda meeting Catria and telling her how lovely the wedding was and asking if she has someone she loves

You mean the DS remakes that did so poorly they damn near killed the series off?

please. From what i remember. PoR and RD did worse than the DS remakes and their failure probably hurt the series more
 
I'm surprised how much people hate Shadow Dragon. It was my first exposure to Fire Emblem and I think it was good. Maybe it's good for me for starting at the bottom.

I remember that no one in Japan even knows who Ike even is too lol.

I'm disappointed by the lack of variation in the wedding dress designs :( And why do they all have the weird wings around the side of the skirt? I don't know much about Fire Emblem characters but surely they could have incorporated more personality into the designs? So bland!

Caeda's is probably best design.

Thank god Hinoka and Titania aren't part of this. The rare benefits of one's favorites not being super popular.
 
I've been waiting for missing Awakening/Fates characters like Flora, Selkie or Gregor to be added before giving the game one final shot, but instead it's just fanservice outfits and weekly GameFAQs-style voting competitions. If they want to start raking money in off the fanservice they should at least get all major characters in the game first.

It's the bride class outfit from Awakening:

It's not necessarily a bad game. It's just very ugly and took away a lot of the charm previous games had which were it's characters. No support conversations. SD had a ton of throw away cast members and it had somthing very un-Fire Emblem. Only way to get side quest was to literally kill of your team to less then 15 each time.

I thought the gameplay was fine and had a lot of replay value.
It's story is really simple, not bad or good. Mostly serviceable, could've made it better or add more to it as it was very minimal (it's been a while, can't really remember much the story aside main points)
 
it's kind of funny how popular Ike is despite his games selling pretty bad.
Of course. As someone that bought and played PoR and RD at release.
I can't blame them
Some credit goes to Smash

Roy is popular because of it too, think he did pretty well in that Heroes vote thing
 
that's what you deserve for celebrating casual emblem: awakening.

nah i always liked shadow dragon. char design was bland in-game, but the game was solid.

true. but fair is fair. I remember Ike being pretty popular even before he came to Smash.
And Roy is decently popular outside of smash in japan I heard... for some reason

At first glance I thought the thread title was Fire Emblem Heroes Brian Blessed event announced.

They love his boyish charm but he's oblivious to it all.
jk

But yeah, Roy is pretty popular in Japan. IIRC Binding Blade sold rather well there. I actually hope we get a Binding Blade Echoes title like the Director wants cause I want it localized and I want to play it.

Yeah I know about Roy in Japan. His game isn't bad tho, could be that.

I was referring solely to Roy in the west. No actual FE game and he's super popular. I remember if you read a FAQ about any upcoming Fire Emblem, the first question would always be "is Marth/Roy in this game?"
That always made me laugh, because I always wanted Roy to appear. Then I finally played his game and realized he's the most generic Fire Emblem lord. Chrom has 10 times more personality then Roy.

His battle animations were amazing tho, so he wins.

I guess, but Xander was in the game from the start already, just not available to use yet.
With the rate they slowly drip these characters it might take a year+ for regular Charlotte to be an actual unit in the game files.

That's me! The number 1 Roy boy. Despite him being boring I still like him a lot and main him in Smash (though I have none of the DLC in Smash 4 cause money :< ).

I mean, I played PoR and I couldn't even tell you what Ike wanted to do except fight for his friends.
