[daxgame]

I don't like that it has too few squares
but whatev' gonna play it, obviously only for free

 

[Fuu]

fuck gacha

 

[Nirolak]

Yep, this was exactly what I was expecting. Nintendo's picked up modern Japanese mobile game design pretty quickly.

 

[DoubleYou]

Android first

 

[Quintin DM]

This game will bankrupt me lol

 

[Zeouterlimits]

Woohoo, Android first.
That's what ye get, SMR buying boyos.

 

[L.O.R.D]

lol

 

[ScientificPizza]

i'm bummed that i'll have to wait, but i think it's cool that it's releasing on android first

i wish all mobile games would just have simultaneous launches tho

 

[Ninja Dom]

Android first???

WTF is this???

Where are my iOS privileges??

 

[crunchburner]

I'd be interested in something like a Final Fantasy Heroes, but I feel like the Fire Emblem IP doesn't appeal to me as much in this sort of format.

That exists:

FF Brave Exvius

 

[HawthorneKitty]

Art so good.

 

[Newtype-001]

Gacha means ill play it for a few days then forget i have it downloaded.

Edit:
Android first WINN LOL

 

[Skittzo0413]

As someone who's never played any Fire Emblem due to not liking SRPGs all that much... this looks pretty fantastic.

 

[wild wild rice]

Damn, gaf doesn't like anything anymore.

 

[MicH]

No iOS date?! Nooooo!

 

[Lilalaunebaer]

It´s free, so i´ll download it, play a bit and if it feels like spending money is necessary i´ll stop. Waiting for that 3ds and switch FE then.

 

[Busaiku]

I like how it looks.

 

[Yonafunu]

Nintendo going whale hunting

 

[Kouriozan]

lol

What is this atrocity x)

 

[AppleSautts]

My boy Google coming through in the clutch. Making up for that SMR delay

 

[Totakeke]

Mobile FE is what we expected it to be, it was probably unreasonable to expect for 2d battle sprites of old but I'm still sad.

 

[CrisKre]

This looks really cool to pop out while having 5-10 mins to kill. Gotta love that Fire Emblem gameplay and art. Im downloading.

 

[Kenzodielocke]

Did he say first? Because soon feels like before February 2nd.

 

[Tempy]

FINE.

I'll bite.

 

[Scum]

Light the Nirolak sig-

Yep, this was exactly what I was expecting. Nintendo's picked up modern Japanese mobile game design pretty quickly.

Oh. There you are.

 

[Haines]

These games need to be connected to online i assume?

If so i will just play the handheld games instead.

 

[javac]

Icon?

 

[ChrisD]

I'll download it, probably spend like $5 to start with a base, but then not spend further unless I just really like it.

8x6 maps sounds... pretty bad though. Map design is going to be difficult with that.

 

[RecRoulette]

Did he say first? Because soon feels like before February 2nd.

This is what I was thinking too. Would be nuts if a game hit Android before iOS for once though.

 

[M3d10n]

That's a complete 180 from Super Mario run alright. Character gacha plus permadeath (plus weapon gacha and wear, probably) makes so much sense it's borderline evil. This will make so much goddamn money in Japan.

Personally, I won't be touching it with a ten foot pole.

 

[DecoReturns]

Looks better then expected

 

[Vamphuntr]

I was excited for the game but I wasn't prepared to whale.

I saw Anna. Anna in glorious new character art. I guess I'm gonna whale.

She's 3* in the screenshot. That's generally not good in a Gacha game unless she's upgrade able.

 

[perorist]

My money, it's already gone.

Going to iap the shit out of this game.

 

[Tirod]

Yoooooo I was super impressed by how well they demoed this. There was no doubt in my mind this was gonna be gacha, but it looks really well done.

This is gonna tear me away from the global version of KHUX if the gameplay loop is satisfying.

[EDIT] Also if you don't vote for Lyndis in that poll, you are terrible. I'm gonna pull for Lyndis until my wallet bleeds.

 

[chrono01]

Not happy about it being Android first. I have an iPhone, I don't want to wait to play this! I know we got Mario Run ahead of Android, but I'm more excited for this than Mario. If we could have reversed the situations, I would have gladly done so. Oh well, hopefully we won't have to wait too long...

This is everything I wanted from a FE mobile game. Nice to see that 3* characters from the gatcha can be increased to the maximum rarity of 5*, too. Now you just have to worry about pulling the actual character and not a high-rarity, since all it'll take is a bit of time to max him/her out.

But yeah, iOS when?

 

[ThatsMytrunks]

I think that I will enjoy this game casually.

 

[Etzer]

There's a gameplay video on Google Play:

[SalvaPot]

So how long until the it prints money gifs? This game is going to have so many whales.

 

[Zareka]

This looks like a great casual little game to kill 10 or so minutes on here or there. I'm happy with this considering we have Echoes, Warriors and a future real FE game to look forward too.

I should get round to finishing Conquest.

 

[DeuceGamer]

I hope all of their mobile games aren't exclusive to start to one platform or the other.

 

[kewlmyc]

A Fire Emblem gacha game is a no brainer, so no surprises here.


My wallet can only afford one gacha at a time and I already play Tales of Link, so I'm out. Might try to see how far someone who is f2p can last though.

 

[CronoShot]

Pay-per-waifu

 

[mrlion]

Gacha AND portrait mode only? No thanks.

Nintendo is 0/0 on mobile games for me so far.

Seriously?

Super Mario Run: "zOMG it costs 10 dollars...bad business practice Nintendo, it should be f2p and then pay as we go!!"

Fire Emblem Heroes: "zOMG its f2p...bad business practice Nintendo, we shouldn't be paying as we go!!!"

There's really no end to this...

 

[jwhit28]

Where is the voting thing?

There's no permadeath.

 

[Fbh]

That was a long presentation to show that it plays like every other japanese mobile game ever.


Should have expected a generic Gacha but I still had some hopes.
Oh well, as with every Gacha I will go from downloading to playing to dropping it to forgetting it exists all within 2 weeks

Seriously?

Super Mario Run: "zOMG it costs 10 dollars...bad business practice Nintendo, it should be f2p and then pay as we go!!"

Fire Emblem Heroes: "zOMG its f2p...bad business practice Nintendo, we shouldn't be paying as we go!!!"

There's really no end to this...

It's really not the same people saying these things so I don't get your point.

Anyway, can't be too bad at Nintendo. There is an easy way to please the mobile crowd and make money and that's exactly what they are doing

They said no permadeath on the direct

 

[HawthorneKitty]

Happens all the time with other Japanese gacha games.

 

[7Th]

It has clothing damage, true gacha game:

 

[febLey]

I think it looks really good. Also the art is very nice.
