That’s completely fine if you don’t see it from my perspective, I respect that. But I would like to see some examples of work in the industry you know that makes Kozaki another generic anime artist.
I’m not sure what you mean by Studio Ghibli being ‘not conventionally pretty’, the only main protagonists that remotely fit that description are Porco Rosso and... Ponyo..? As for One Piece, I personally like it, but I know a lot of people that don’t like the style due to the stick thin limbs, exaggerated features (hey look most of the chicks have giant knockers too!) etc.
obviously we are just discussing here...
The characters of studio ghibli... they are not conventionally pretty! In any other case Chiiro would look like the lolis of FE and Nausica like a character from Fairy Tail... etc The style is kinda datish/old and the eyes are not the sailor moon eyes that are so popular in anime... (mononoke and teh pretty prince from the moving castle are the most conventional and the were drawn on purpose that way)
As for One piece u dont have to go further than comparing Fairy tail with it... Mashima copied Oda's style and made it more conventional and generic.. hence why all his characters are pretty...
The One Piece anime also made fun of the idea by making Luffy a generic Bishonen looking character in Boa's Dream
The differences between dinstict styles and Anime "generic" are in the eyes, face shape, proportions, hair ..
On teh otehr hand FE is generic anime style.. i dotn think anyone can argue with this since the creators obviously were going to this route in order attract the western audience... thats why the characters look like SAO, and its not just awakening/fates older FE titles were following the manga trends of teh past... Marth and friends look like saint seiya which was the popular style at the time...
Heck some even argue that awakening was so popular because it ride the hype of SAO..
My point is some people like this artist some the otehr... BUT claiming that kozaki's style its not a typical anime style its not correct

I'll put in another vote for Kozaki. I really love most of his character designs, and his art style is really appealing to me. It's a nice mix of anime aesthetic with some often-exaggerated elements like big eyes toned down a bit. I find it well-balanced and just really nice and clean. His range of designs is a lot of fun, and I think the only thing that sticks out that I haven't cared for is the armor designs on the great knights for Awakening. (and then he switched to something a lot better for Fates cavs) I don't see the issue with looking "modern anime." Same goes for the more fanservice-y designs. I can enjoy both more practical designs and other fun designs, and I enjoy having a mix in a game like this.
Hidari's work is nice and has a cool, somewhat-painted look to his art. I like the stylistic quality of the work, but the designs often leave something to be desired. The monochrome color theme so many of them have going on just really makes some designs just blend together. Someone like Alm's even a bit hard to look at with how he's just.. blue on blue on blue. So many of the Echoes characters look like they got dipped in a vat of colored paint for the base of their design. That said, some characters like Celica looked gorgeous, even if she's also revolving around a color theme of white and red. His art was an interesting tangent from the 3DS games, but I'd prefer to go back to Kozaki's work for the "main" games.
I assume Kozaki will make a return regardless, since he was a key part in the success of Awakening and Fates, so pushing FE onto a new platform I'd think they'll want him again. Like was said in the OP post, his art style is basically the recognized face of FE now anyway, so it'd make sense. I don't think they'll cater to older tastes over the safer option.
As far as i remember the person who draws the characters doesnt draw the armors...
Also i am pretty sure the monochromatic pallet of echoes was to give a vintage look because the game was a remake...
The only reason i dont want kozaki is by a fear that drawing 80 characters so far might have dry him ... otherwise i am good if he remains

Kozaki is probably one of my favorite artists in gaming history, and his art for the characters is one of the main contributing factors attracting me to Fire Emblem: Awakening.
I’d really like Kozaki to stay for more future entries of Fire Emblem characters not just because I’m biased towards his art, but looking back at previous games, the art styles were extremely similar to other old school anime medium around the time and didn’t feel and make Fire Emblem distinctive enough to let’s say, Studio Ghibli.
Kozaki takes a break from the ‘typical anime style’ trope and draws the characters in a much more anatomically realistic and correct style that made Fire Emblem much more distinctive and differentiates it from other art styles.
Of course all of the above is just my personal opinion, and anything can change at any given moment of time. So if he sadly gets replaced, I have high expectations from the artist, they would have to be extremely talented and have a extremely distinctive style for me to welcome them. I just hope whoever fills in Kozaki’s shoe doesn’t turn Fire Emblem’s characters into whatever happened to Xenoblade Chronicles 2...
i am sorry but i dont see it...
Studio gible its distinct because its not your typical popular anime style.. its not conventionally pretty.. some can even find it unattractive... its the same case with One Piece that interestingly some people also find unattractive...
Kozaki's style is typical anime style and definitely not dinstict .... i like his art and he has brought many great character designs but i wouldnt call it dinstict.. i also dont see the anatomy difference with other FE games...
An artist ahs already filled for kozaki for the echoes games and everyone praises the characters designs... whats your opinion on hidari?

I just remembered one more thing i dont want... Freaking Ninjas! they were a disease

Fates had multiple teams, which is why the writing is wacky at places and why so much off the wall otaku bait was inserted, one team pushed hard to put more waifu related stuff in it (honestly wouldn't be shocked if that's the crew on Heroes). They had a much larger team than ever before and split the workload properly to get the game out in good time, but Fates' flaws can be put down to the broken up teams working in their own bubbles.
That said, 2 to 3 years looks to be average to go from start to finish. But, since IS had a team on Echoes and they are working with a much more powerful console than previously, the dev cycle for FE Switch is likely scewed from the engineering side needing more time to build FE specific dev tools.
arent 2-3 years a bit too much? after all FE ssems like one of teh easier games to make...
the GBA era was giving a game each year...

I'd honestly see another gen 1 remake over a Sinnoh remake if they were to go the remake route with 2018 Pokemon.
With as much as GameFreak loves milking gen 1, the idea of the first "HD, console Pokemon game" being a remake of the very first gen makes too much sense if they don't have enough time to make a whole new region with ~100 new Pokemon. Being able to see Kanto and the original 151 in full 3D would likely sell the game to MAAAAAAANY people, even those who haven't played Pokemon in years. Probably since the last time they remade gen 1.
I'm pretty indifferent on Sinnoh(The only region I dislike more is Hoenh, and people seem to like that for whatever reason). It seems like one of the least popular regions and generations, and I'm sure GameFreak sees it the same way. I doubt they'd waste their first big shot at HD on Sinnoh.
So yeah. I wouldn't be surprised or upset if it turned out the Pokemon game coming to the Switch in the next year or so was just gen 1 again.
As for FE Switch, people remember that Echoes was a side project with a small budget and a smaller team, right? I'm willing to bet that they've been working on the next proper FE game pretty much since Fates' original Japanese release and they saw that it also sold gangbusters like Awakening. They also probably got Switch dev kits relatively early in development. I don't think it's a similar situation to Pokemon, where they probably got told to make Pokemon Switch immediately after Sun/Moon, just a few months before the release of the Switch itself.
It wont be a 1st gen remake for sure! Its going to be a brand new pkmn game.. leaks have already start to spread and the creators have already given a 1st interview...
They have already mliked gen1 these couple of years in a huge extend (megas, alola, virtual red/blue/gold/silver, "pkmn go")... U might not like sinoh but people do and are hyped for this and GF knows it... sinoh remake was underway for the 3DS but they had to change their plans due to backlash and thats why they gave us all the legendaries in USUM...
GF has also found new ways to pander to gen1 stans and make them buy the new products (mega, alola and whatever they come up with in gen8)
Also game freak has 2 teams... one works on the current project and the other on the next... And i think pokemon games are harder to be made than FE (dont take my word on that tho)

Well, from the outset Gamefreak said it was very iffy that the next Pokémon would launch anytime soon.
Stars was a real thing, but when The Pokémon Company realized that the Switch was a monster seller after all, Gamefreak quietly dropped the Stars project and instead released UltraSun and Moon to keep us occupied while they develop gen 8 from scratch. Creatures. Inc (they do most of the art assets for GameFreak) is now hiring for Ultima Engine experienced designers, so it's gonna be HD.
Basically, I SERIOUSLY doubt Gen 8 is launching 2018, unless it just barely scrapes into the holiday season, and that's a major blow to Switch's 2018 prospects either way. The only way I can feasibly see a 2018 release is if it's the fabled Sinnoh remakes, thus cutting a massive load of design time. (i really want that badly but, those are unlikely for the first Switch Pokémon titles.)
The only thing I can think of that would rock the world is a massive library of Vitual Console Gamecube games for Switch.
i doubt the pkmn game will come in 2018 as well... But nitendo seems to pushing them hard for a 2018 release... so maybe they will be able to release in december
there is no way they will start a new console with a remake... after all they were planing to release sinoh remake in 3ds and scrap it because of teh backlash... as for the design time GF has always 2 different teams so the sinnoh remake team isnt working on the main game anyway...
But thats my point if FE wasnt sure for a 2018 they would say the same thing.... Mario and zelda came in 2017, pkmn will be in 2019 so that leaves switch with 0 monster title! Since teh switch has become such a hit Nitendo has increased the expectations for its sales there's no way they will leave 2018 dry of a big title...
thats interesting but it kinda ruins Nitendo's remake policy a il no?

It's reasonable to question a 2018 release given the game's last mention will be a year old in three weeks. But yeah, I'm not predicting a delay for FE Switch until we've first heard anything official about the game. They said it's planned for the 2018 year, may as well believe them for now.
17 minutes ago, Altrosa said:I think them saying the next FE game being on Switch is the same as Game Freak saying their next major Pokémon is on Switch or the Metroid Prime 4 teaser; It was a power move on Nintendo's part to drum hype for their new console, and thus, sales. Even the very recent confirmation that the next Zelda is already being developed counts.
"We don't have anything to show yet, but we are, for sure, making it for the Switch! #pleasebuyournewhomeconsolewebegyou"
Although, at this point Nintendo's install base is so strong it doesn't need to do these very, very early announcements to get people to forget the WiiU's failings, but Zelda shows they might be making it a habit.
We don't have many key Nintendo IP's releasing on the Switch next year, so giving us a mainline FE in good time for all the new Switch owners after just killing it in 2017 is borderline required at this point. The big guys have already landed and are not going to carry the Switch for a whole dry year.
Nintendo managed to release a major title on nearly a monthly basis for the Switch. (Really, the only bit of fudging was releases weren't exactly 30 days apart). Slowing that down is inevitable, but what else is slated for 2018?
Now I'm thinking 2018's whole roster of games is likely the Direct's focus, dang.
Nitendo is pushing Gamefreak so hard to release pokemon in 2018 that they had to say late 2018 or early 2019.... If FE wasnt sure for a 2018 release they would be the same... Not to mention that in 2015 we had 0 pkmn news...
FE will surely come in 2018! its not like GF cares for fans to say sth like this...
-
why people are questioning that FE will come in 2018? they already said it, not to mention that Nitendo cant afford to stay a year without any big franchise

Yeah, Niles and Rhajat being the only characters that ever got a gay relationship possibility ruins some stuff. They weren't that well written as one is just a literal carbon copy of another character, and the other is just someone that wants to make innuendos.
But all the more reason that I was impressed by Leon's writing. There's really no denial that he's gay. And though he's head over heels for Valbar, there's a genuine reason for it, and he isn't like Faye.
Least Leon gets a real ending that has him live his own life, unlike Faye who despite getting married, still stalks after Alm.
So I won't say that IS is hopeless when it comes to writing bisexual or gay characters.
Yeah, my experience was seriously damaged before the pathways even split. The moment Ephraim uttered the words "I don't pick fights I can't win", I just... no.
And it really doesn't help that the game caters to those words always.
fates could just make syllas gay/bi and be done with it.... it would be easy, believable and smart

It's not really the budget. A cartridge or disk can only hold so much data. Unless you want it to be like those PS1 games that had 3 or 4 disks, then you can only have so much in the game, no matter the budget.
As far as i know a switch cartridge card can be 32 gigabyte! 3DS was 8

Doesn't change the fact it still leaves the room to be used for something else. Whether it actually is used is another altogether from there being space to use in the first place.
Are we gonna act like budget is an issue for FE at this point? is this pre awakening time? Fire Emblem is a million seller franchise and one of Nitendo's prestigious titles right now... it can get what it wants
If echoes a side project can afford VA the main game can as well and add everything fates had... i mean...
and does anyone even know how much it costs to hire VA for a few hours of recording? or we just talk out of our butts? u all act like we want A list Hollywood actors and not just people who would beg for the job
heck i know that Kirsten bell and Shara michelle gellar had voiced video games.. if companies can afford these 2 they can obviously afford a bunch of Saturday cartoon VA

Sure there is. All those X-bytes used for the voice files would be free for something else. Same for the money used to record and pay the actors.
yes the money would be used for more fan service gimmicks like hot springs and pet your waifu .... we won

I really dont want another game split in 3... i fucking spend 80 euros and i couldnt buy the special edition because it was so limited!!
But i also want a conquest like gameplay....
-
from the 3 i played (awakening, fates, echoes) i go with echoes hands down!
Most characters were likable and obviously there were characters i didn'tcare but nobody rubbed me the wrong way... The voice acting helped so much bringing them to life and add more layers to their characters... i absolutely love catria's, Mae's and berkut's VA! No one felt like just a trope character because they had more layers.. for example Delthea could easily be dismissed as a loli bait but she gets more attention by the writers...
Awakening and fates while they had good characters they had a lot of characters feellike moving tropes.. which was emphasized by the fact that while everyone could speak with everyone their discussions were 90% of that same characteristic trait!
-
speaking of characters
I dont want characters who suck the dick of the lords.... fates again is a big offender of this because we had 10 lords and each had at least 2 worshipers... i mean it makes sense but in the big scope of things its boring to have characters that define themselves as meat shields of privileged people...
i also dont want the majority of the cast looking like pokemon trainers... i mean so young and fluffy... fates had characters who looked very young (under 20)... i mean its ok to have 1-3 small characters, its an anime-ish game after all but birthright's cast looked way too young... awakening and echoes didnt had the same problem...
*its not how old u are in papers but how u look IMO... i know the villagers in echoes are supposed to be under 20 but they didnt looked like elise/sakura/hannah etc ... i guess this is due to art style...

The only feature I don't want to see again is full voice acting.
OMG delete your account
The full voice of echoes was amazing! the voice actors did an amazing job! Berkut, catria etc would be half the great characters they were without the voice acting!!

I hate lucina which everyone adores...

marketing and word of mouth... (and beautiful graphics)
At least this is how i got in the series... i didnt even knew what Fire emblem was while i was searching for a new 3DS game to buy every article and youtube video about the best nitendo games of that year had FE awakening at the TOP... the trailer led me to download the demo which i found it interesting so i bought the game....

I personally like the idea behind them, but find the jump from just being friends to proposing marriage very jarring.
So the alternative I came up with (that I'm actually using in my own Fire Emblem story/concept) was simply to make S-Supports confessions of love with no marriage attached, with characters not marrying until their endings.
Of course, such a game would ideally not have Child Units at all.
this.. also there were some units that had the same s-rank support no matter who they bond with...
I prefer if units have a limited number of supports... they can D everyone and as they climb to S the number of people are getting less ... that leads to more realistic and thoughtful dialogues... Echoes might had less support conversations but they were more meaningful than Fates
I also hate avatar/lord only support characters... Fates had 3? its makes them feel like ghost characters to me and i never use them...
I also want Sonya type of characters back... in fates and awakening only the lords mattered if i am not mistaken.. sonya had a lil involvement in the story which made her way more interesting and well round... we also had zeke and to some extend the pegasus sisters...
Also i am done with lords... i want to play an ike like character!!

Actually, there's a very disturbing reason for why Nowi might dress that way which I theorize. So for Nowi, there is a reason.
Odin and Nyx? Not a chance.
I am pretty sure that Catria and Cordelia are very popular, especially the latter. Faye is the only one that is hated.
Peri isn't a stalker. Are you confusing Peri with Faye?
You mean the Paralogues? Personally, I feel their survival may in fact be related to the breaking of taboo. You mess with time, and things go wonky. People that should be dead end up not being dead.
Hey, I think Leon was handled VERY well in Echoes.
Clearly you won't want Genealogy of the Holy War remake. And for the record, in Japan, marriage between cousins is in fact legal.
He was a gay faye but a lil more fan.. and valbar out of all people? ew

Counterpoint: Sacred Stones. It had one of the smallest casts, but quality was certainly nowhere to be found... most of its characters were Archanea-level forgettable.
what exactly do u mean with that?

idc about the gender but can they be more than that? i would love if azura had more uses than just refreshing someone's turn... its useful but it makes her boring in return...
