    Now that this thread has been posted in again, I think I'll list my full thoughts, taken from a post I made on Gamefaqs:

    Honestly, a lot of this feels clever/believable.

    IS themselves are aware for criticism-- they recognized criticism of Awakening's story and singled out complaints about how nobody really died (though instead went the route of "here's random deaths for the sake of it") and vastly improved pair-up. Axing the 2nd gen and trying to bring back some older elements after the latter's unpopularity in Fates and Heroes' success seems pretty believable (plus, with full voice-acting, eliminating children means they get to greatly cut down on supports-- no parent/child and sibling variations). The Nohrian royal family were also originally meant to be vampires (Leo's liking of tomatoes was probably an in-joke over that)-- IS has brought little details like that back in the past(Roy's original name was Ike, for example). And coupled with recognizing criticism, the base plot similarities to Fates may be them trying to do it better (especially feeling more confident after SoV's writing got generally praised --for some reason--).
    I already gave my 2 cents on Yamada.

    Some of the exact details feel suspect, but most of the big stuff gels with expectations and what we know of how IS operates. This doesn't feel like somebody took their fangame idea and tried to pass it off as a leak; right now, I believe the major points are true. My gut says this could be somebody from NOA using a middleman (since Nintendo is seemingly set on simultaneous or near-simultaneous localizations now), with outdated/incorrect info mixed in. Time will tell if I make a fool of myself-- but if the FE Switch reveal comes around and we see vampires and Kotaro Yamada as the lead artist, I told you so.

    Do you have the link to the board?

    EDIT: Never mind, I found it: https://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/204445-fire-emblem-for-nintendo-switch-working-title/75846652

  2. I just had an epiphany. The Jagen who (unfortunately) shares my name may have been named that for a couple of reasons:

    1. Huon of Bordeaux: A nephew of Charlemagne and a knight in the Crusades, supposedly met with the fairy king Oberon and married a Saracen princess. This gives us why he's a Great Knight and the overall religious motives to the humans of this game.

    2. The Huon Pine: A tree that grows in Tasmania, Australia and is the world's slowest growing trees. That explains his old age and (probably) low growths.

    Meaning that whether or not Miss Leaker is faking it, she's Australian. Which would explain the fact how her "leaks" usually come out at a convenient time on an Australian timezone.

    THE ONE TIME I DECIDE TO GO ON 4CHAN http://boards.4chan.org/v/thread/394409203

    I just need to get these out of the way:

    Kotaro Yamada as the artist? He has worked on the series before, but him as the MAIN ARTIST? Unlikely.

    The game following the previous aesthetics? Okay, we would have guessed that.

    Full Voice acting? Well, Echoes had it, so I guess that makes sense.

    The characters? I'll go in order.

    Huon: PLEASE NO MY NAME IS HUON I DON'T WANT TO BE ASSOCIATED WITH A JAGEN

    Gwendolen: Don't we already have a character with that name?

    Godfrey: Calling it now, he's a bad guy.

    Mirela & Miruna: Okay, we now have an official Cain & Abel. Pretty standard.

    Felix: *sigh* not another Navarre. (P.S., I bet he gets a Killer Lance.)

    This REALLY hasn't helped her case for this. I now believe this even less than before.

  4. I'll be honest, at first, I was skeptical about this at the beginning. However as more information came out, I started to find it more believable. But this? It's just gone into the credibility version of the uncanny valley (meaning it seems so ALMOST credible that it just can't be). It's a good and interesting concept, sure. But I'll be amazed at this point if IS actually does something even remotely similar to this.

    So, not sure if this matters, but I noticed the first post on 4chan isn't showing up anymore. I tried to going there and I get a 404 page.

    don't worry, we have it screenshot on the first page. I've already taken the liberty of doing it for the other posts

    uhm, ok, so she's basically reading what we're writing here on this topic and changing her "leaks" depending on that

    her sources that conveniently forgot to tell her the actual way it's written sounds not credible at all (though it could be true, after all)

    if i was here, i wouldn't have used google translate to guess a name i can't actually guess

    first she claimed those "laurel wreaths" are like laguz, then she changed her mind and said they're more like taguels, wolfskins and kitsunes: how convenient

    the "2 dancers problem" came up here, and after reading it, she agreed with us and said that there will be two paths, the "good" one and the "bad" one (just like we said right here): the bard would be in the good one and the succubus in the bad one, but since she openly said she's not sure at all, i can't actually argue on that (even though it makes me even more suspicious)

    about the avatar, she said "MAYBE": if the game actually comes out next year, let's say on november 2018, i think the story should already be done, and since the presence of an avatar is a major point in the plot of the recent fire emblems, it doesn't make sense: she knows they debated a lot about the presence of an avatar, yet she doesn't know if an avatar is actually present... ok, i guess

    i'd love to see a darker fire emblem, like genealogy, but since recently fire emblem has become something "for everyone", so i don't know if they want to risk so much by making a game that not "everyone" could appreciate

    just my opinions, tho

    1. She straight-up admitted to reading this thread, I was even personally mentioned. So there's that

    2. Her sources making a mistake? Sure, we all do. But using Google Translate? Just why?

    3. It does seem a little suspicious, but she did state that she "made the wrong analogy". Although like I said, suspicious as all hell.

    4. It did seem like it was the logical thing for IS to do, so that does seem kinda credible.

    5. She was referring to if you can choose a personality for Dracul, which does seem very fishy the she or her sources know this very specific detail.

    Technically Corrin is also an anti-hero during the Conquest route, or at least that is what IS wanted them to be. You are probably right about not choosing sides, but I still don't see IS doing this well as the settings seem to similar to Hoshido and Nohr from the small amount we know, and FE lore. In FE was there ever a time where monsters where anything other then evil? I don't know much about anything pre-GBA era so I sincerely don't know.

    This will be the first time Monsters will be playing a role in the game that isn't "grind fodder" or "servants of the demon king" (Unless you count the Manaketes as monsters, which you hopefully don't).

    The whole premise sounded way too odd until I remembered Nohr's atmosphere would probably be the basis for this new game. Didn't change my opinion on it being fake though. I just don't think IS can make a good villainous protagonist without making Corrin 2.0. They just don't have a good track record with making villain characters, and if they are meant to be a Camus character then I have a feeling we are going to be choosing between Hosido 2.0 (the good humans who use the power of light to wipe out the obvious bad guy kingdom) and Nohr 2.0 (the literally monstrous kingdom with a obvious bad guy we are going to eventually have to fight because they are EVOL). Maybe I should have a little more faith in IS though...

    I think it will be more like Echoes, where you control the 2 groups simultaneously, I mean if Dracul is an "Anti-Hero" like they were described as, why would they side with the Humans instead of the Kibaires?

    You know what? I'm ending this now. I'm going to ask Nintendo, Intelligent Systems, anyone that would be involved, whether or not Fire Emblem: New Moon is the real deal, or Pepe being a troll as per usual.

    AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH Which one is it?!

    Didn't they originally plan on making the Nohrians vampires? It was stated in the "Making of" book if I remember correctly. 

    Everything else about this sounds fake though. Too much of an old fans wet dream to be anything else imo.  

    It's not like they haven't re-used old drafts in later games, Roy's old name was Ike and was going to be in a title called "Fire Emblem: Maiden of Darkness" for the N64. So they may have taken inspiration from the Nohrian Vampire thing.

    I do not want vampires in FE, sorry. They should draw the line at the Nosferatu spell, which is named after a vampire. Also, siding with the bad guys? No. Conquest ruined that idea for me. If this is a leak, I hope it's false.

    I'm alright with the concept, as long as it's done right. Also Nosferatu is called Resire in Japan, so that's not even a line to draw.

    The beast makes sense, in Dracula he can shapeshift into a Wolf and a bat, and the man he is based on Vlad the Impaler (where the Impaler class likely comes from) was also called  Vlad Dracula (as he is the son of Vald Dracul where the MC's name is from) and Dracul mans dragon.

    And Dracula means "Son of the Dragon", but can also mean "Son of the Devil" from the word Drac.
