How many times is it gonna take for you people to understand that our issue isn't that too many characters use swords, but that the devs themselves used the excuse that they wanted variety in their game to justify only having Fates/Awakening characters and then went and ignored even that (to the point where they added two of the same character twice)?
I do admit I am easily amused by this joke of a game tbh
Where is this unabated anger coming from? Can we just chill?
I've loved Fire Emblem for years and despite following these threads since the game's announcement I can't comprehend this emotional reaction that has ensued.
There's a great amount of variety in the game is there not? Magic, lances, axes, wyverns, pegasi, males, females, transformations, horses, samurai, archers and yes *gasp* swords. That's what I've known Fire Emblem to be since I played my first game in the series, Radiant Dawn 10 years ago.
That was a poor bit of PR the dev said, at a time when there was mostly just sword users announced, but I don't see why you're still getting worked up about it now when we can see they have created a good amount of variety, and it wasn't absolute nonsense.
There's no FE7, no laguz *wipes tear away*, no Gaiden, no Lyndis and yes there's 2 Robins and 2 Corrins. There's plenty of ways this game could be improved, and I'm sure there's some people out there who love that there's both sexes of the avatar characters in here, but as I said I don't see this anger justified at all...
What would it have taken for you to be satisfied by the by? One character from FE7, 8 or 9? 2 or 3? What if they were Ike, Lyndis and the Black Knight, all sword users? Would the game have still been a joke? What if one of them was Michiah, joke status lowered by 7 joke status points? Alm and Celica in their animed Echoes appearances? Would that make things better or worse?
If you're going to keep posting in these threads at least extrapolate what would've made you happy so I know what I'm dealing with here. 25is characters and only about 4 from Awakening and 2 from Fates was what you were honestly expecting in January?
Please say it ain't so.
