No one will criticize you for that opinion. The artwork was legitimately bad.I could never get into Shadow Dragon because of the god awful art style. Distractingly bad.

Is Virion not popular? I figured with him being in #FE it was indicative of him being one of the more popular ones.
I didn't play #FE, though after doing some research it seems that it launched a good 6 months after Fates (If, technically) so there wasn't anything stopping them, though did that game have any Fates character allusions in it at all? I'm honestly just uninformed.
Regardless, Takumi seems to be much more popular, at least judging from the Heroes poll and he's also more related to the plot than any other archers such as Virion or Setsuna. We could see Virion for some variance and wildcard selections can't be ruled out since we got Agitha in Hyrule Warriors, but it's just my predictions.
I do, I like FE1 more than FE6-9 & FE13-14. Mechanics are outdated, but I just find it much for fun, it has a certain charm to it.
People just have different tastes. Besides to ignore a cast that's part of 2 games(not sure if we're getting FE3/12 exclusive characters. If we are then that would be ignoring 5 games including BS. Not to mention how Marth's tale is the face of Fire Emblem...well, was until Awakening.
I actually like the Shadow Dragon world and cast. I always thought that Awakening made the world so much more dull than it originally was in Shadow Dragon, which negatively impacted the cast. The various countries and layers to the conflict in Shadow Dragon gave it some interesting depth, even if the usual writing was pretty basic.
Besides, it does have some cool characters: Caeda, Ogma, Navarre, the Whitewings, Minerva, Hardin, Merric, Linde, and Tiki are all pretty interesting and memorable. For villains, Shadow Dragon fares better than average, thanks to Camus and Michalis. A lot of Fire Emblem games copied large chunks of Shadow Dragon's cast wholesale, only changing names and personalities to look like new characters.
Well, I'm happy for you guys. It just feels really disappointing that they are completely ignoring the Tellius and GBA games. So many great characters and for people in the west who actually played the games, they hold a special place. Tellius especially is such a great setting and cast and it feels like other than Ike they are almost completely overlooked, consistently.

I would love to see GBA and Tellius characters; I love those games. I just happen to like the Shadow Dragon cast too. Hopefully Ike, Lyn, and Hector get in at least, even as DLC.Well, I'm happy for you guys. It just feels really disappointing that they are completely ignoring the Tellius and GBA games.

I mean no offense, but the series didn't start with the seventh game.

I'd also just like to mention that there is a screenshot of the 3rd OC and quelle surprise, he's also a swordie.
So that's 8 Swordies now despite them saying they didn't want to clog the game up with swordies.
Uhhh
Marth, just swords.
Alm, swords, bows.
Celica, magic.
Sigurd? Horse, swords, spears.
Seliph? discount Sigurd.
Leif? All weapons in the game.
Roy? He does use a sword, but the ability to throw fire around diversifies him.
Eliwood? Can also use lances. His sword is also fucking huge.
Lyn? Swords, bows. Definite different style compared to all other sword lords, though.
Hector? Axes.
Ephraim? Spears
Eirika? Well, just swords.
Ike? Swords and axes. His sword is also a laser sword.
Micaiah? Mage
Chrom and Lucina use the exact same sword as Marth, they're actually the biggest problem.
Robin uses swords and magic.
Corrin uses dragonstones and swords.
That's a lot of people that use swords, but not all of them are limited to swords. Plus even the swordlocked lords have enough variety between them to not make them same-y.
Oh fuck off guys. It better be Hoshido heavy then.[*]The vast majority of characters will be from Shadow Dragon, Awakening, and Fates.
I concur. I get that this is a Warriors game that isn't really getting much time in the oven, and as such it's difficult to differentiate each character with intricately unique animations, but it's not really hard as far as the concepts go. Like, Ragnell is so big, you could have Ike swinging it around almost like a cudgel or giant club and it'd make sense. Roy? Kid is kinda small, so emphasize his agility and speed, and let him get really close for attacks (like in Smash).
Who the fuck is Sigurd?
The Binding Blade is kind of odd since the artwork makes it look like a standard iron sword, but the sprite animation shows it to be fairly thick and heavy, with Roy changing from using a piercing attack with standard swords to wide slashes with it.
Sacred Stones always seems like it'll be the red headed stepchild of the franchise forever.
No one ever talks about it. None of the characters are popular. It's a shame.
This little bit made me double take while they both use the falchion so doesUhhh
Chrom and Lucina use the exact same sword as marth
.
I like all these characters, but it still feels like a strange choice (as opposed to picking fan favorites from across the series). Hopefully "vast majority" means we can still get a few others like Ike and Roy.
- The vast majority of characters will be from Shadow Dragon, Awakening, and Fates.
I expect each main series to get one villain since they'd need antagonists for the story. Camus seems an obvious choice for FE1, but I guess it gets harder to dump one of the main cast for an antagonist in Awakening and Fates. Although I guess with Fates they could just make the Norh crew antagonists too for some reason.
Which makes Hartmut in those games' lore seem even more like a freak since he's supposed to have dual-wielded the Binding Blade AND the gigantic Eckesachs.
I can't wait to see how Koei Tecmo/Team Ninja makes a sexier version of Tharja.

Could just go the Fire Emblem Heroes route of 'Oh no, my magic is so powerful that it's torn my clothes in a conveniently revealing way'
After Fates and Heroes, not including clothing damage here would be a regrettable oversight. It's one of the distinguishing factors of the IP which could be very easily integrated into a musou context.
I dunno, the twins/Joshua/Seth are all fairly popular, and Innes is a personal favorite.

Yes, Dragon Quest targets "everyone", unlike most titles in the Japanese market.
A lot of the market is doubling down on the core teenage audience though since the market is in such large decline that it is back to the 1980s in terms of annual sales revenue.
A better character than any of the others that have already been announced for the game and the entirety of the casts of Fates or Awakening.
Sigurd reminds me of Flora.
I like how you're so fixated on the characters that you failed to comment on the gameplay that is described here.
Dude's super hot
I'm straight, but daaaaaaamn
He's just fire
Which makes very little sense, when you consider that Japan has an equal number of gamers that grew up and kept playing console games as North America does. This is all without saying how little faith the Japanese entertainment industry has in the teenage market, as well.
But really, who the fuck loves Shadow Dragon/FE1? The most boring, characterless entry in the series, by design of course--by being the primitive original game.
I get having Marth. As well as recurring characters that are in multiple games like Tiki and Anna. But anyone else? Why?
To have that be one of the three main focuses is just mind boggling to me.

You agree with me so I'm not really arguing with you. But I will just say to the bolded that that is a poor reason (if it's a reason at all). Imagine if this was a Final Fantasy Musou game, and they said the characters would only be from FF13, FF15, and FF1. That's basically what this is like. FF1 is remembered fondly and honored for its place in the genre and setting up the rest of the franchise. FE1 is very much similar in that way. Now to give FE1 some credit over FF1, at least their characters have names...but it's not much better.It's an important entry in the history of tactical RPGs, arguably the grandfather of the entire genre, so focusing on it makes sense...to an extent. The attempt in recent years to glorify the characters and focusing only on that portion of the series has gotten rather obnoxious. It was fine in Awakening given that it was meant to be the last game in the series so its connections to the first were fitting. The same could be argued for Echoes with. However, the focus on only the more recent entries and FE1 when there's no shortage of characters, be they lords or otherwise, for the series to highlight in the spin-offs does a disservice to the overall series and the advancements made with each new entry, not to mention limits the playstyles they could use. Imagine using the hilarious range of a Gaiden archer or clobbering a group of regular soldiers with Hector jumping and swinging his axe around.its post-game escapade to Archanea given it's likely to be the last 3DS game from the series and thus a fitting conclusion to the revival kicked off by Awakening
The fact you're comparing FF and FE in this way...You agree with me so I'm not really arguing with you. But I will just say to the bolded that that is a poor reason (if it's a reason at all).

While Japan definitely has a huge number of games who grew up and kept playing games, it's not clear they play anything but mobile games en masse given what does really well on mobile versus what does really well on console.
There's a definite segment of older brands that are now irrelevant in the console space, but do really well on mobile in Japan.
You can say that again.
