Definitely. If it's not, then we can start complaining.
I just want to point out that I still find it odd that lots of people are alright with mass violence as opposed to any sort of romantic expression. It's not like Kamui is touching these people unwillingly. I know that some other "rubbing" games have dubious/sleazy premises for these mechanics, but this is pretty cute IMO. It's still a Nintendo game here folks, we're not gonna be groping our armies for status boosts y'all.
I'm with you, I'm going to avoid this part of the game unless it's required for chars (that 10 S rank mention le sigh)
Or return? Because before the Vita im sure I saw various games with this "mechanic" on the original DS...
... where is that Tomoko gif when you need it...

Watch insane difficulty be easy after you fondle your units pre battle
Fuck, how is that any different from your typical vita game? Sad that lonely weebs are where the money is.

I'm not lonely though, I just like my war simulation to have realistic elements like petting my soldiers for morale.
It makes me feel like I'm commanding real people, rather than simply moving chess pieces on a map!

That pet-simulation part is weird as Hell. It's upsetting to see stuff like that in a SRPG, but whatever, I'll just ignore it at all costs.
I really like how one portion of the game that's likely not even that necessary (like seriously, how often are you going to need to switch support partners on your main character) is what's talked about more than the entire rest of the video. I mean, the thread title should be "rub characters faces in Fire Emblem If" given how much we've talked about it.
OT: I'm actually very excited about Base Building. Though as I couldn't understand Japanese, how does it work exactly? Is anyone willing to give a rundown of the different stuff we saw like that dragon?

it's neogaf after all, complaining about stuff :^)

I'm perfectly okay with this.
But it's just a small part of the game? That's probably not mandatory, if Pokémonamie is any indication?
Does that make the game suddenly not worth playing? How does it become a bad game because of an optional feature?
And I not only direct this question at you, but everyone sharing the sentiment. I don't get it.
Look like 3D models to me:
Either way, it's looking pretty good.
im going to pet all these animes

This is amazing and I'm delighted by it. All of it. The base building, the hot springs, the pets, the confusing yet hilarious 'romantic' groping, it's brilliant!
I really hope they hurry up with the localisations! I want this game right bloody now!

Is this true? That's annoying as hell, then. Not only is the feature embarrassingly pandering, it's a waste of time too. I played with Pokemon Amie a bit and dropped it fast because it got repetitive. I hope it's feasible to get this character without having to constantly rub my soldiers, because 10 S-ranks sounds like a lot.
Super excited that there's a traversable base now, though.

why do I have to pet my army?
10 S-ranked with the avatar or just 10 S-ranked period? Because if its the later that's painfully easy.

Someone mentioned it on Page 3, but it seemed more like a joke in response to someone saying "Does that mean the queen is off limits?".
Actually, my bad. I misread a quote in this chain.
Thought it was implied Charlotte was unlocked that way, but it was a joke about MIkoto ....
So it's definitely not ture.

ahaha... there... complainers can just ignore this stupid FE-amie then :^)

Wow! My Castle seems cool!
Then they had to show this character rubbing shit... Really? Way to kill my hype.

But then we wouldn't have something to complain about! And we can't have that! /s
Still, anyone willing to translate the video? Like, I'm curious about the shops since we don't have durability anymore. Did those jewel things do anything?
Crisis averted.

Why are there multiple heart icons again? Because Amie only works if those heart icons are present.

This all looks pretty fun.

Let me stab my enemies repeatedly through the heart, but I will never tenderly touch my loved one's face!

I can see myself touching them while on a train ride to work.
Improving bonds between soldiers in an army through physical contact is a good way to improve morale and strengthen camaraderie. In Fire Emblem, the player commands a relatively small tight knit group of people against hundreds of adversaries. Keeping morale high is important. In Ancient Sparta, male bonding was also used to improve morale. If it worked for an ancient warrior civilisation, why not for Fire Emblem.

Fire Emblem Amie?
This is simply expanding on what made Awakening sell. Give us uncensored petting!
Also that bathhouse. Very

Is that Nazuna from Hidamari Sketch?

What if S-ranking 10 soldiers unlocks bonding in different locations, like the spa?

I rather like the chick who looks like she breaks trees with her abs design.
While waiting for more info I can't deal rn with the character designs...
They are never going to leave my team... until I find that they are not ideal charaters in mah strategy =P

With a small but HUGE difference though, te avarege vita game only panders to male otakus. Fire Emblem clearly panders to those and a huge chunk of the female demographic with thing of games they love.
Its expanding its fanbase, not creating a niche game.

That was a tough battle. Now to massage my warriors with warm oils, so that they may bond with me as their tactician.

In Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon, you literally had to sacrifice the lives of your teammates to get stronger ones. I like the face rubbing.
