FSLink said:Whoo, Mystery of the Emblem remake.
Though I still think they should have just stuck FE1+3 on the same card like they did with the original SNES remake of FE1.
I heard they did that because it was the anniversary of the Famicom or something, but they really probably just wanted to milk it.
The original FE3 for the Super Famicon included a remake of FE1. Mystery of the Emblem is a direct sequel to Shadow Dragon.Bebpo said:Quick, someone explain the timeline of FE games for non-FE people. Because this post does not make any sense to me :|
The last DS one was a remake of FE1, correct?
This is a remake of...?

Bebpo said:Ok, so then why are they skipping FE2? Was FE3 a direct sequel to FE1 while FE2 was something entirely different?

Absolutely terrible. Intelligent Systems should be ashamed.

Bebpo said:Wait, so will this just be the 2nd scenario? Or will this be the last DS game + 2nd scenario? Because the latter would seem weird since FE DS was still pretty recent.
Aw crap. Hype suddenly at zero.ethelred said:Fire Emblem 3 was a remake of the original Fire Emblem with a second scenario added.

Splitting up Book 1 and Book 2 for gains and profit?Pureauthor said:What is... why...
If this is the case, then what was Shadow Dragon ever for?
FE2 is Fire Emblem Gaiden, there is no official numbering so fans have just give every entry a number. FE3 is a remake of the first game with a new scenario, Book 1 was the remake and Book 2 was the new scenario. This is probably just a remake of Book 2.Bebpo said:Ok, so then why are they skipping FE2? Was FE3 a direct sequel to FE1 while FE2 was something entirely different?

Thank goodness they've (presumably) moved away from the bland 3D art style of Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon.
AniHawk said:Awesome. I hope we get Genealogy of Holy War since it's still considered by some to be the best, and Thracia 776 since it's one of the hardest games ever made.
VOOK said:So hang on, what's this one called then?
I kind of frown upon remakes, but on the other hand, we'd finally get US releases for FE4 and FE5, so bring on the milking.AniHawk said:Awesome. I hope we get Genealogy of Holy War since it's still considered by some to be the best, and Thracia 776 since it's one of the hardest games ever made.
In a crazy fantasy world, we'd unlock Thracia 776 as a reward for completing FE4DS on Hard mode.FSLink said:I kind of frown upon remakes, but on the other hand, we'd finally get US releases for FE4 and FE5, so bring on the milking.
Though hopefully for FE5 they include the original difficulty in there somewhere for a US release instead of toning it down considerably like they usually do. I'd like the option to choose between easy US modes and the original ball busting Japanese difficulties!
Speaking of which, what would be the next hardest games after those (I haven't played the GC or Wii ones)? Currently playing Swords of Seals Hard Mode and it's kicking my ass.Sir Ilpalazzo said:Shadow Dragon's hardest modes are supposedly about as hard as Thracia, so they probably wouldn't remove that option now.

Sir Ilpalazzo said:To what extent? The first DS remake already added something like that.
Not every Fire Emblem needs full-fledged support conversations, just like not every Fire Emblem needs love systems or capturing. Let that be one of the defining features of the GBA entries (although I wouldn't complain if it was in, it's just not that important).
Sir Ilpalazzo said:I think it should be mentioned that the Book 1 remake of the first game is actually shortened and has several characters cut out. The DS remake is more faithful to the actual first game, so it's not a remake of a remake at all.
I just beat the third game a few weeks ago, so I'm excited about this.
Unfortunately, given series history, I'd expect this game to reuse SD's graphics engine. We'll see, hopefully the style will change, but I'm not really hopeful I think.

Well, the artwork in the teaser video is already a big improvement over the artwork from Shadow Dragon. I'd like to see the graphics will get an overhaul too, it was one of the most frequently discusses problems most had with the game.ShockingAlberto said:Haha
I'm not saying they didn't change artstyles, but I would bet against it.
Wii said:Have they ditched the stupid artstyle from the DS game?
Sir Ilpalazzo said:The hardest games in the series are FE5 (Thracia), maybe FE7 Hector Hard Mode, FE9 Maniac mode (Japan-only), and FEDS Hard 5 mode. FE5 is probably the hardest in terms of design, though.
