Fire Emblem (Wii) New Screens

Granted I play SRPG like FE for the gameplay, but would it kill them to spruce up the battle animation at the very least. It's my biggest problem for this series. If I have to look at fights 50x per mission, at least make them interesting to watch (or skippable, though I do not remember if it's an option here)...

If they have it like AWDS, pressing 'A' will simply skip the fight cutscene. (Which is pretty much the best way to do it.)
And who doesn't play SRPGs for gameplay? They've never pushed graphics, as far as I can recall... :lol

glad to heard people isn't stupid anymore

It's funny that you complaint about the battle animations, because you can swicht of the animations in the main mané of the game. Also, you can skip animations by nuit, that's if you want to see animation of a unit in particular.
I think that almost all of the FE players, ends taking out the battle animations. The game goes faster withouth it.

I could only see half the pictures but they looked fantastic graphics wise. Seems like it really suits the series too.
Good for you then, I guess. Fight the power! *sigh*ToxicAdam said:
Anyways, I am excited as hell for this game, as someone here suggested FE for the Cube, and it was my first FE. I thank whoever that was. Great ****ing game, and this one is looking like an amazing follow-up.
I am really interested in terrain having an impact on battles, as that was the one thing I was thinking should have been included in the Gamecube FE.
Not that it bothers me that much, but I hope that this one has far more cut-scenes then the Gamecube FE, as they were pretty awesome, but so erratic in thier placment through-out the game. I also hope this one has voice-overs, instead of the mountain of text you have to read to continue the story. Again, not that big of a deal, but it would be a nice addition.
So, is it stupid of me to hope for a July/August American release?

I don't think that's Ike... that's probably Zelgius.
If you don't remember him, he played a minor role in watching over Daein after you conquered it.
He's also a person behind a somewhat infamous Black Knight theory.

That last screenshot is weird. 0 damage, 0 hit rate, yet he clearly did 10?

Just buy Path of Radiance (GameCube), it's probably your best bet as a new-comer to the franchise, I guarantee you'll enjoy it somewhat, and if not, how much do Cube games even go for today? It's a definite steal anyway you look at it.

Exactly. Even if the animations were awesome, I'd only want to watch 1/1000th of the fights I actually partake in. The game just flows so much better not being interrupted by animation every 5 seconds.
I do this in AW, too. Once you've seen it a few times you've seen enough.
Besides, the gameplay is so awesome I don't want to get sidetracked by fights that I already know the outcome of (barring any critical hits or misses).
- edit -
Also, I actually like the visuals. They're not spectacular, but they look pleasing to me. I don't care much for AWESOME graphics unless I'm playing an FPS / Sports / Adventure game. Not that awesome graphics hurt, but I feel they're just superfluous for Fire Emblem/strategy games in general.

I so want this game. See how the storyline branched out after PoR

Lucia and Ellincia look great there. Now I wonder what relationship to previous chars the new chars might have.

What the name of the FE artist? He/she is just so damn awesome.
Forgotten Ancient said:
That's still completely subjective (about the animations). In the 2D Fire Emblems the animations were awesome and i NEVER skipped any even if i am a big Fire Emblem fan.
The animations help the immersion alot and they are my biggest deception in Path of Radiance. I hope they'll get better in this one.

Well, for those who look forward to the battle animations, I hope Nintendo/IS makes substantial improvements then. I never said I didn't want it to be better, it's just that I personally don't care. But for those that do, I hope Nintendo makes you happy.

Very nice screens.

There is one HUGE difference with FF Tactic. (by the way, i hate FF Tactics)
FF Tactic the order the characters are fighting is determined by some stat(s) -- i ****ing hate this.
In Fire Emblem it's "party vs party" and this make some huge difference in the gameplay and how you proceed through the battles. Today i can tell you that i cannot stand a tactic RPG that isn't "party vs party", it's THAT superior.
(what i mean by party vs party is that you have a player phase where you move all your characters in your prefered order and then it's all the ennemis moving before you move again)

I will make love to it.
Fire Emblem is also more streamlined and simple than FFT not saying that's bad. the game is simple but it's so well balanced Fire Emblem is one of those games where if you died is because YOU ****ed up and deserve to die
I suggest trying FE9 if you want a console FE. FE7 if you want a taste of handheld FE goodness I didnt like FE8 that much it's the worst of all the FEs I have played (it still rocks btw)
and yeah I prefer FE to FFT by a wide margin.

Well you could theoretically end up with a lot of RNG-screwed characters because of the leveling system. That hardly ever happens with Ike but stillError2k4 said:Fire Emblem is also more streamlined and simple than FFT not saying that's bad. the game is simple but it's so well balanced Fire Emblem is one of those games where if you died is because YOU ****ed up and deserve to die

Dude, look in the pictures. You can use the Wiimote, GCN controller or the classic controller on the Wiimote.Testicular Sound Express said:

Ya, Nintendo should invest a lot more money in translators so that games like this don´t take an extra half year to come out in NA. They should also get a Spanish translation team. Think of all the latino gamers in Spain and the Americas who would love to play a game like Zelda, Pokemon or FE if they could only understand it. Microsoft translates their first party games to Spanish, and seeing how Nintendo´s games are even more popular amongst latinos (at least here in Mexico), I imagine Nintendo could more than recoup the Spanish translation costs - at the very least with their biggest games.

Sort of OT, but I like how they allow the use of regular controllers in Wii games. It's kind of funny, though, that "standard" controllers are essentially optional peripherals instead of the non-traditional wii-mote. Clever.
I hope they make a Wii "Gamecube" controller in the not-too-distant future that's similar to the Wavebird, but is blue/white and has rumble.
