Fire Emblem Warriors Famitsu info: Characters, gameplay info [Up: Screenshots]

It was a really silly thing to say with the choice of original characters that they gave us.
You forgot our boy Marth
He's there in NMOE. As for the original kaga games, I think everybody agrees that Thracia's the best (I love Genealogy but it does have its flaws).
Pegasus sisters with Gaiden abilities would be best. Triangle attack ftw.

The only protagonist that matters uses an axe tough
Playable characters were kind of expected judging from what people observed from the first trailer. Oh well still getting this day one along with a Switch.
Kind of ironic since judging from the Famitsu picture it looks like both the original protagonists are using sword & shield.
80% Sure the twins will be able to use other weapons.

I kinda love the idea of tn having I'd in their warrior games, its such a nerd thing to do

I'm stupid. It must be sleep deprivation.
I meant Roy, our boy Roy
I find Thracia the most enjoyable from the old games too. Genealogy hasn't aged that well, but it still pretty solid.
Yeah, this is a bullshit excuse. If they wanted non-sword users, they could have easily gotten Celica from FE2/Echoes, Hector from FE7, Ephraim from FE8, or Micaiah from FE10
or Kris from FE12
Remember:
Marth (Shadow Dragon) - uses a sword
Chrom (Awakening) - uses a sword
Lucina (Awakening) - uses a sword
Robin (Awakening) - WHOAH USES TOMES WHOAH and uses a sword
Corrin (Fates) - uses a sword
Ryoma (Fates) - uses a sword
Xander (Fates) - uses a sword
I'm out.
Edit: Thanks psychowave for the additions. Oh look the two original characters use swords too.
Double edit: I just remembered that Leif can wield every weapon in FE5

Don't forget that Lucina and Ryoma, who will certainly be in (especially Lucy) also use swords. Robin and Xander as well, though at least they have magic and a pony to switch things up a little

Do we have any confirmation of online play or versus mode?
Nothing yet. We probably won't know until E3. I am expecting local co-op at a minimum, though I couldn't tell you if that would be both split-screen and local wireless.
boiled goose
good with gravy
Wont buy till all dlc is released. Got burnt on wiiu version after they stopped supporting it and went to 3ds instead
I'm in! Hyrule Warriors was one of my biggest gaming surprise in years and re-ignited my love of Musou games. I don't see any reason why this shouldn't be another strong entry and I'm personally fine with the character choices.
If you're not into the announced roster, I can see how your opinion would be different though. I've loved pretty much every Fire Emblem game, so the roster's not an issue for me but I can totally see it being an issue for others.

Oh new FE Warriors news. I wonder what-
Welp, hype for the game has gone off a cliff since Lyn, Ike, Hector Nephenee etc are off the table. Wonder what's their excuse?
Bullshit. The OCs are swordies and the 5 weapon shown in the first trailer are swords. Just admit you wanted to appeal to newbies who haven't played the older games.
Thanks for saving me 500 dollars to buy the Switch and this game. Not like I had a vested interest in it or anything.

I'm so glad pegasus knights finally get the advantage over archer.

Sadly, Leif only promotes to Master Knight in 4, not 5.
Master Knight Leif in FE5 would be sweet though. (There is also unused Master Knight class/animation data in 5 thought it's buggy and I'm veering into trivia)

Too many OCs so far, but I guess they're going more DQ Heroes and less Hyrule Warriors.

I really like the majority Awakening's characters and didn't dislike any of Fates' characters other than Camilla and Takumi but I wanted this game to have a nice mix of from the whole series.
Hyrule Warrior had 4 "Original" characters too right. Two of them were based on enemies from Zelda games (Well I guess HW Wizzro is pretty much a Wizzrobe), but they were technically new characters.

The instalments not represented leave an obvious opening for an exorbitant DLC plan, as was the case with all the conspicuous absences in Hyrule Warriors.
I love the casts of both Awakening and Fates but was definitely hoping for much more of an all-star affair, particularly from FE7 and FE9. Not that keen on this project yet: I like that it exists, but I found myself unable to return to Hyrule Warriors after Bayonetta 2 released a month later (different games entirely, I know, but the difference in combat was like night and day), and the heart of the Fire Emblem experience for me has always been in the turn-based positioning and roster/loadout management. Probably the thing that intrigues me most about FE Warriors thus far is how classes and promotions will be handled. If you get to raise a scrappy, fragile villager to a general, I'll know they're taking the premise seriously.
The selection of games incorporated as the core of the crossover do not get my hopes up for a Pegasus triangle attack.

"The vast majority of characters will be from Shadow Dragon, Awakening, and Fates."
Fuck, off!
I'm excited for the game but really? So many characters in the franchise and you pick mostly from the games with the most boring characters? Fate characters are mostly dumpster fire tier.

Noooo this is the worst thing that could ever happen. I was really hoping we would get characters from all over the series instead of just the 3DS ones
character selection having a focus on SD and neo-FE is kinda disappointing but I can deal
now, as someone perfectly aware that his avatar is a second-degree oc donut steal, and as someone who really cannot recall a design for original characters in developed crossover games he's outright despised
I want to take Shion, repeatedly curbstomp his face on my sidewalk, drag his unconscious half-breathing body into my home, and then feed it into the fucking garbage disposal in my sink
like this is probably the most viscerally antagonistic reaction I've had to a character design in ages
and I'll be honest, I think I need to calm the fuck down, drink some water, read a book, because upon further deliberation my mind is clearly making this out to be way worse than it actually will be
just had to vent, I guess

unlike zelda there are around 100 characters to choose from for each game so there will be a lot of characters i hope. i hope they will include some of the radiant dawn/path of radiance members too
dlc... also fate characters are mostly pretty good.

I'm not actually mad of that cast focus because of a fully voice script.
Might actually bring to life to the cast, Plus give actual character to Shadow Dragon's cast. Here's you chance to make me care about them.
Of course, the script could entirely focused on few important characters so who knows.

More or less reposting what I said in the other thread
2-4 ocs
Marth
Caeda
Cain
Child Tiki
Draug
Navarre
Chrom
Robin
Lucina
Tharja
Virion
Adult Tiki
Corrin
Xander
Camilla
Ellie
Leon
Ryoma
Hyouka
Setsuna
Takumi
Azura
This will be fairly close to what the roster will be pre dlc, probably most of the above with a few not making the cut and MAYBE 1-2 odd fan favorites also being in despite not being from the 3 games mentioned
Dlc will probably be in packs like
1) Roy, Lyn, Hector
2) Ike, Dark Knight, Soren
3) Alm, Celica
The other fe games and larger rosters from those games will likely be saved for a sequel.

I don't mind the more recent series having the character focus despite Awakening and Fates having truly awful stories. I'm not a fan of the current character designer either, but the designs have room to look pretty cool in a Musou.
That said, I wouldn't mind seeing Titania!

I just want to say that I would have been mildly disappointed, but ultimately fine if they said that they wanted to focus on Shadow Dragon, Awakening, and Fates because they were popular entries (well, the latter two at least). It's probably true, after all.
Making up a bullshit excuse (oh no too many sword lords) just shows that they don't respect the franchise enough to even do a modicum of research on the older games.
HAHAHAHAHAHA
no
You're right, it's been like a decade since I've played FE4 and FE5 haha. I've been slowly working through FE4 recently but I haven't gotten to the generation gap

God, you made me realize the worst part about a "focus" on Awakening/Fates is that we have to settle for garbage like Virion instead of, like, Shinon or Python.
This is a Musou, it's a light hearted, fanservicey spin off. Guess which of the games lend themselves best to that?
Also, if Hyrule Warriors is anything to go by, every single entry in the series will be somehow acknowledged with DLC down the line. But it really shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone that this game will focus on the games it does for the character selection.
I'm also sure there will be some out of the left-field inclusions like Agitha in Hyrule Warriors that will please literally no one. It's just too many characters to consider.
In another thread on this someone mentioned including Itsuki and Tsubasa from Tokyo Mirage Sessions, which would be amazeballs.
I'd pay some DLC monies for them being alt costumes to Marth and Caeda too. (throw in a Yashiro costume for Navarre and Touma for Cain, we can do this!!)
And finally, to echo all the others: OC character twins look overwhelmingly bland. I wonder how they will spice their fighting style up to separate them from all the lords with their vanilla swords.

It's worth noting that the phrase "vast majority of characters" may indicate that a very small amount of popular characters like Ike and Lyn who I recall placing high on those Heroes character polls may make it in
.
Of course that could also just be referring to the original characters made for the game.
as DLC

Way too many characters in that roster.
I'd probably go
0. At lease three OC's (the twins and Darios (pic is floating on twitter but he looks playable)
1. Marth/Caeda/Tiki (as definites)Navarre (likely but sword)Minerva
2. Chrom/Lucina/Robin (both versions)/Adult Tiki/Tharja
3. Xander/Ryoma/Corrins (both versions)/Takumi/Camilla
As I said in the other thread, everything sounds great, but a lack of Alm or Celica will be enough to make me pass just out of defiance.
I know, edgy right? But SoV is brilliant, and I see no reason why Awakening and Fates should get more promotion than it. I get Awakening and Fates characters already have big following compared to SoV, but neglecting to represent them at all isn't helping the situation. The likes of Gray, Claire, Saber, and Berkut could easily rival the popularity of the past 2 3DS entries characters if they had a chance to shine.

They talk about the weapon triangle, so they'd need to have mages and axe users. More than one of each, I'd imagine. So throw in Viron, Tharja, Draug and one more Peg Knight - perhaps Sumia.
Yeah. Though I sincerely hope Ike and Lyn make it into the base game. If it's just straight SD and 3DS FE characters I will not buy this game until the DLC comes out

Robin/Tharja/Minerva/Camilla.
There's really no iconic "infantry" axe users from those games (armor is included as infantry for this case).
I do expect Ike/Hector/Lyn/Roy/Micaiah to make it as dlc.
I'm also expecting OC villains to fill up the wholes in the triangle.
Shadow of Valentia was in development around at the same time so time was against it. And nah SoV really has no chance, so many things going against it.

Path of Radiance and Radiant Dawn. That picture is her design from Radiant Dawn.
She's the MVP of PoR and is always near the top of my RD playthroughs.
She's probably the best design this series has seen.
