The Treehouse of back then =/= the Treehouse of now.

I don't, I was just using it as an example.

Xenoblade X, Bravely Second, that one DBZ 3DS game, TMS #FE, Fatal Frame 5, and all the exclusive games Europe got that we didn't get all say hi.

Fates was trash and so is it's localization. That, and Treehouse should be chopped down.

So, considering that their respective games have NEVER sold well outside Japan, how did Ike and Lyn become the most popular characters in the series? (outside of Smash) To me, there has to be a reason.

Short and sweet answer? No, it's weeb garbage and IS should have never made it and NoA should have never localized it.

You do realize the stories are a HUGE reason to even play FE to begin with right?

So, a question to all of you, why did you buy this game? You do realize since you all bought the ENG version of the game, that Nintendo is going to have Treehouse localize FE switch now right? And don't use Echoes as an excuse, considering that Treehouse is already localize FE Switch as we speak.

So, out of all localization companies, who would you rather have localize this new game? NoA, 8-4, or some other company that hasn't touched the series yet? My ranking for the companies I'd prefer are as follows from best to worst: 1. Some other company (as long as they don't f*** with the fans and are competent) 2. 8-4 3. Some other company (one that'll probably f*** the fans a little like the P5 controversy a while back) 4. NoA/Treehouse EDIT 10/31/2017: I should also mention this, I don't know much about the P5 controversy from a while back other than there was controversy to begin with. I usually don't keep up with the spin offs and focus mainly on mainline SMT games.

We do have that "leak" posted here on the forums a little while back.

We "argue" that because games selling under a million is generally not profitable.

Why didn't anyone buy this game? Because of you (the people who didn't buy the game reading this) the franchise will die for us veteran fans! You're what's to blame for having FE Switch be waifu emblem 3!

You forgot to include FE Switch into the games we're most likely going to see in the sequel.

Except that it's objectively inferior to the older games. It lacked a number of features the older games had and the characters were really 2 dimensional compared to the older characters.

Any of the older games. Fates and Awakening are garbage.

Which do you want this game to play closer too? Awakening/Fates or Classic FE?

When I say critical failure, I mean more and more of the fanbase is starting to hate Fates.

That doesn't mean I'm going all like "OMG OMG NEWBIES AND SJWS R EVIL!!!!!!!!!!11!!111!!!! REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1111!!!!!!!"

I don't mind the idea of change, what I do mind are changes that are for the worse. The older games would've been more popular/sold more if NoA didn't do a terrible job marketing them outside of Japan. I am keeping an open mind, as I've said, I'm buying it used. Also, what makes you think I'm losing my temper?

No, that's not it at all.

I would HOPE that they don't reuse the same engine. I just want it to look good ya know?

I bet a good chunk of those numbers came from sales outside of Japan (I.E. imports)

How is it unreliable? It sold through 80% because they didn't ship many copies to stores. They weren't confident it would sell so that's why. I said I would give it a chance, I just said I was getting it used. Because appealing to the people who actually plays these games works a lot better in the long run? How am I doing this just for shits and giggles? "That doesn't explain how Fates was a critical failure. Please, in your own words tell me how Fates failed, critically. Also parroting that VGCharts isn't all that reliable." Okay, how about the fact that the main characters were all idiots, ESPECIALLY Corrin, the children mechanic was forced and had no purpose being there, the story in conquest and revelations being shit, the poor english voice acting, the god awful localization, too much casualization, pheonix mode, removal of any challenge, etc. Need I say more?

Look at how people (such as myself) hate Fates. Also, did you see the sales numbers for SoV? The game flopped, and the roster for FE Warriors kinda proves my point.

http://www.vgchartz.com/game/154085/fire-emblem-echoes-shadows-of-valentia/ Now compare this to the sales of Fates and Awakening. I didn't bother explaining why Fates was terrible because it's pretty much common knowledge amongst open minded FE fans at this point and I don't feel like typing a gigantic text wall. Just because something is popular doesn't mean it's automatically good. Like I said, I don't have any news, but I do have history and facts on my side, and the history of Fates' success is what's going to influence the game. Just take a look at how Awakening influenced Fates and see how that turned out. What do you mean?
