The game did less than Hyrule Warriors in Japan.
They're right.
The sad thing, this is such a niche game that there probably won't even be a FEW collection with all the DLC for like 30 bucks down the road. Shame, but I'm not buying a stripped down Musou with shit held purposely for DLC.
Bahahahahaha!
Knew that was going to happen with how they've handled the game. They can't even do DLC right.
Also between this and Ayra being added to Heroes in the scummiest of ways today has already been a PR disaster for IS.
Koei Tecmo already said they will have better results this quarter than expected because of this game. But sure, you can pretend it's a bomba if it fits your personal agenda.
Well, they certainly had low expectations then.Koei Tecmo already said they will have better results this quarter than expected because of this game. But sure, you can pretend it's a bomba if it fits your personal agenda.
In FEW, there are character archetypes that are shared across different characters, where the only major differences are their appearances and their special attacks. So, for example, Minerva is likely going to share 90% of her move set with Camilla, as they're both wyvern knights with axes. The only NEW new characters are going to be Azura and Oboro, and they're likely going to share quite a bit themselves since they're both spear units.
I'm not usually one to defend games or anything, but I've seen this brought up... What is a clone in this and how can you tell that these characters will be clones just looking at a list of names?
Azura should have been in the base roster. I know they thought that would have meant over representing Fates, but it just feels so odd that such a plot important character takes up a DLC slot when she should have been in the base game anyway.

Tharja as DLC is definitely a dick move.
Well, they certainly had low expectations then.
Discounting Oboro, Azura, Minerva, Linde, Tharja, and Olivia are the ones who may not be clones. I actually think Azura won't be an Oboro clone given her water powers and very different fighting style. They've differentiated some foot swords.They can do the same for lances. Minerva is definitely going to be heavily based on Camilla at best. Linde could be a Robin clone, but something tells me that she'll be more like Lana from Hyrule Warriors. More acrobatic basically. Tharja is probably based off of Robin. Olivia has plenty of swords to clone from, though if anyone will surprise us it'll probably be her.
I have to wait until March so, no.HAPPY NOW SAMMY?!
It's doing almost the same thing most Musou titles make in a platform with a smaller userbase. https://www.amazon.com/best-sellers-video-games/zgbs/videogames/ref=pd_dp_ts_videogames_1 It's also doing pretty well at Amazon and the shipped numbers are probably high too.
The DLC news disappointed me too, but let's not jump to conclusions about the characters or sales performance.

It's filled with characters already in the game and clones. This is a huge disappointment in comparison to the great DLC offered in Hyrule Warriors.

Already i the game but not playable so...
Plus the clone description is totally arbitrary
Well at least it's the cheapest Fire Emblem DLC
Again, it's doing worse than Hyrule Warriors, which was on Wii U.It's doing almost the same thing most Musou titles make in a platform with a smaller userbase. https://www.amazon.com/best-sellers-video-games/zgbs/videogames/ref=pd_dp_ts_videogames_1 It's also doing pretty well at Amazon and the shipped numbers are probably high too.

Remember when Echoes's season pass cost as much as the game itself.

Not that I disbelieve you, but do you have a link to this?
You do have to admit that the could have done something far more interesting with the DLC than NPCs already in the game, and I don't think it's unfair to say that all you're really paying for as far as their inclusion is concerned are their support conversations.
No Peri DLC D=
Fire Emblem has never been bigger then Zelda. Even in JapanAgain, it's doing worse than Hyrule Warriors, which was on Wii U.
Fire Emblem has also often been a bigger franchise than The Legend of Zelda.
With the release and success of Fire Emblem Heroes, the success of Switch, and general strength of the brand, to see it perform worse than Hyrule Warriors is them beating expectations?
It only sold through 40% - 60% of its first week shipment in that first week, and has had poor legs since, so their expectations had to be really low.
where the fuck is groose
Well at least it's the cheapest Fire Emblem DLC
It was on the MC thread. Not sure which week to be honest.
