    I respect your opinion. But I would like to say that the entire appeal of Warriors spinoffs is characters. Warriors dropped the ball on its worldbuilding and story, but the reason why so many FE fans wanted this spinoff in the first place was to experience a power fantasy as these iconic characters that the grew up with.

     

    It's also why there was so much fuss over iconic characters like Ike, Roy, Hector, etc. not making it in. 

     

    And it's also why, with Warriors 2 speculation, the roster is the first and biggest topic to come up. It's the biggest selling point. 

     

    I'm wondering, in that regard, if you would respect a FE spinoff that was all about story/characters/worldbuilding in the FE universe proper.

    Good point. if they polished the game up id be willing to give it another try. Characters was a big thing. the 2 new ones i even forget their names cause they were that forgetful, were bad and it just felt like fates and awakening characters with a couple shadow dragon. Yes i would love a fire emblem spinoff if it stayed more true to what fire emblem is actually like. Like even a modern fire emblem with guns and shit would be interesting. Not like xcom though, same play style as fire emblem.

    Shrugs. To some degree, I get that, but spinoffs don't have to be taken with a negative connotation.

     

    I don't see Zelda fans ashamed to be associated with Hyrule Warriors. On the contrary, it was very well received. And if it weren't for roster controversy, I'm sure the same would be true for FEW.

     

    Perhaps you could even consider it a point of pride. These days, JRPG warriors spinoffs are the in thing. Having one means you've become a large enough brand to sell spinoffs. It means that your IP is desirable and can be used to make another game more attractive. Did FE fans ever think their franchise would become that big in the pre-Awakening days?

    i see your points but to me the series gets the attention for the wrong reasons and the spinoffs don't help with that. I love fire emblem for its characters, world building and story, but i cant say everyone likes it for those reasons, at least not in 2020. im glad the series is finally getting traction and attention, but hopefully the community will be more united on why the series is good.

    What's wrong with Warriors, on a level at which it should not exist? I genuinely want to know.

     

    It did not take resources from mainline games, was not developed by IS, and its engine was used to build the next mainline game. Meaning, it actually furthered the franchise.

     

    No comment on Warriors as a game. We all have our different valid opinions. Mine are positive on gameplay, negative on roster.

    Mostly because fire emblems name is associated with it. same with encore, they are not good games and thus people can/will associate fire emblem with them sadly. We have much better things we should be known for.
