ARMADS!!!

- The choices can be as extreme as something that directly results on an important character's death. Even then, they'll opt for being ambiguous and after this specific choice is made, they'll stop mentioning this character at all in a way that wouldn't be believeable both if he was alive or dead. Another example would be one where the villain thretean you to give him an important item and you can chose to do it or not but no matter what you do, no one will mention the item again to avoid having to reveal with who it is now and dealing with your choice. - the "bathhouse peeping scene" can be a whole "bathhouse peeping game mode/mini game" that you're forced to play in between some maps. Also, the characters do weird and out of place pop culture references, we have character whose gimmick is liking Lil Nas X, other that calls himself a Taylor Swift stan and another that has an Only Fans. It's not even supposed to be funny, just "hip and modern". Also every mention to alcohol is switched to "Nyan Cat" to "censor" it, so we have a character that is clearly an alcoholic but everyone refere to him as "being addicted to Nyan Cat memes", again, It's not played for laughs.

Also when you get it back on the end, the enemy has undermined it on purpouse without your knowledge so now you have a fucked up battle forecast without knowing, unless you learned to make the calculations well enough to notice.

Yeah, It's better that they were 3 years late than if they had held it purpously for two more years just to release in on an anniversary that is a multiple of 5. That's... Actually a pretry good idea.

Fog of war in every map, and It's like FE5: the background is also all dark and invisible to you. Ambush spawns and you can get enemies on chests. Every map has obnoxious traps like FE6's gaiden chapters. Maps are as big as FE4's but you have no horse units, they're enemy only. Becomes even more anime and dating simulator (though that might be good for some people). Doesn't have a single paired ending or support convos or S support (so not even who likes dating sim emblem will like it). Also FE6 like hit rates. Most enemies have a very annoying skill that makes some your units' turn end immediately even if they're on the other side of the map. The actual ending is conditional and obscure, and you don't get hints like on FE6 but instead the conditions are random as fuck like "go to specific tile with specific random ass optional character". And the true ending is not like just an extra cutscene, It's the actual ending that if you don't get it'll be obvious that you missed something (like on FE6 but instead of having the game just end abruptly, you'll get an extra "you didn't get the true ending" cutscene too that will be just the villain screaming "skibidi toilet" like memes on your face while doing Fortnite dances). Every map has the same theme and It's a 10 second song looped over and over again like some Adobe Flash games (and you can clearly tell where the song is looped + It's a very annoying song). The characters break the 4th wall to talk to you a la FE7 all the time. The calculations are as complex and annoying to make as nowadays Fire Emblem Heroes with a bunch of damage reduction, extra damage and reduction of damage reduction stacked. You have no battle forecast to help you with it. We have a new feature now: A special item called Walk. It's a bit rare and has 30 uses, your units can only walk if they have it on their inventory, so your whole party has to keep trading the few Walk items you have to move throught the map. The item can be stolen by enemy thieves and it easily happens on FoW maps (that is every map of the game), and enemy units don't need to use it. More than half of the enemies have their inventory and stats hidden from you. The game starts with a very long, bizarre and annoying tutorial mode that doesn't teach you anything at all and doesn't have an ounce of story. Lyn mode will look like a masterpiece close to it. WTF? Sheesh, that's a game to not play then. I suggest that our new FE, on top of this, also has multiple routes and you gotta pay for each of them like in Fates, except that you need to play them all otherwise you miss important stuff. Also multiple lords and to find out their backstories (that are constantly mentioned during the plot) you have to pay for the DLCs "episode Lord 1" "Episode Lord 2" and "Episode Lord 3" But they get the stats that they don't use instead.

I want a FE4 remake a well, don't particularly care about official localizations but I think they'll probably do one as well. Wonder if they'd make both an official localization for FE4 and a remake at the same time or if that'd be a dumb maketing move, cause if It's the latter then they'd suck more money out of us if they made a remake for a game that has already been localized along with a FE4 localization this year, and leave the FE4 remake for later (but please don't do this I$, I really want this FE4 remake...). Also, something I always wanted was another OVA like that old one (I didn't even watch the old one yet but that's not the point). I think they don't do a lot of these stand alone OVA movies for videogames anymore, this was probably more of a 90s thing, but I'll keep on wanting it to be made, specially with videogame movies on the rise (although most of these are live action ones) I got some maybe delusional hope about 2D (or 3D, even, whatever) videogames movies can maybe come back. Stuff like those artbooks/anniversary books, cool new merch and cool anniversary arts are always welcome too.

Loki looks like a nice unit (the hability to cancel bonuses on a foe if it has more than 3 is very welcome), it'd be nice to have her since the only premium staff unit I have since V!Elise/Sakura was... V!Elise/Sakura (duo to my horrible luck as of late + not being very active on the game). Also, I happen to not have a single blue or red unit from this banner (and only have Guinivere, from colorless) so I might as well summon some times. Although I think I'll wait for the fallen banner before spending my orbs here, since this one lasts until the 13th and the fallen banner usually starts on the 9th or 10th (we'll see if that's the case this year too when the next event calendar comes out) they'll probably overlap. Also, nice that they put Thórr on the banner with Loki.

Unrelared rants aside, I think she's justifiable as a Mythic too, even if I'm still concerned about whether we'll ever get Athos or not (plus she's a good premium staff unit so I won't complain). Now I'm just waiting for them to show which units are gonna be featured on her banner, that's what will truly determine if I'll use my orbs on it or not. Thought about it too lol, why the veil? (Doesn't look bad, but the veil + the white clothes does feel a bit more bridal than they probably wanted it to feel). Also, I rembember that her summer alt also had a weird censorship like that (but I think it were some out off place flowers instead of the sexy jutsu-like clouds). I honestly liked the Merged Ordeals, I agree with everyone that said they're not greedy but just an extra thing. I don't have many merges off mythic/legendaries myself and they're all acidental, now getting more accidental merges won't make me pissed about breaking my pity rate with one of the few units I didn't want on the banner, cause I'll get the chance getting 600 flowers. Not much to say about the rest of the channel now.

Even though the OP said that that was not eaxctly what he meant, I'd find this pretty cool, it could end up being like Sonic Mania (for whoever isn't familiar: It was a 2D game launched in 2017- long after Sonic became exclusively 3D- and worked just like the classic games of the series, and now it's generally considered to be among the best Sonic games ever made) but for Pokemon. Of course, doesn't haver to be like gen 1, they'd probably pick the most popular elements of the series as a whole (or from the 2D games at least) instead and as you said, I think it wouldn't please everybody no matter what too, since we all like different things, but I'd still find it to be a good idea. Being a spin off or a spin off series, ir would hardly alienate anyone. I'm a person that prefers 2D games in general (and, not sure how popular is this opinion, but I don't really like the appearence of the 3D pokemon games, specially in comparision to some of the 2D ones like the GBA titles) so it simply being a 2D pokemon game would already be nice enough to me.

You mean that our box 1 would be emptied for real in the middle of the game? I'd find that'd a horrible move that would probably make me want to give up on the game instead of going for revenge lol. And if I knew that this event was gonna happen via spoilers then could I just move all of my pokemon (maybe except one?) to the other boxes to avoid losing them/my favorite? Although, I do like the idea of "you" being the villain.

Does the first image of this page serves? https://fireemblem.fandom.com/wiki/Archanea There's this one too, that also festures Valentia:

Yeah, if you made the thread cause you're looking for recommendations, you're better off trying Tear Ring Saga (I guess Berwick Saga and Vestaria Saga too but I don't know enough about these to say anything) and ROM Hacks. These have the tiles/grids, chatacters with personality, permadeath, hability to calculate exactly how much damage you're taking or inflicting, no grinding, class changes like in FE, etc. If you opt for Tear Ring Saga, beware of certain things like that it doesn't have weapon triangle, look up the calculations here on SF (like how AS, crit chance, etc, works), beware that your weapons might become cursed after reaching 100 kills, maybe you'll wanna look for a guide for the route split to get as many special scenes and items as possible, etc, etc. But the difference in mechanics (like route split, calcualtions, no weapon triangle,...) Is really on par on how the mechanics are different between the games of the FE series anyway so nothing to worry about.

Yeah, the creator went on to do his own series and it's very similar to FE, the games are Tear Ring Saga, Berwick Saga and Vestaria Saga. Also, I've been hearing about Unicorn Overload a lot here on the forums, as far as I could tell it's one of these too. And, apart from the examples that Imuabicus der Fertige gave, well, I'm not sure if you're looking for lookalike games just because you're curious or cause you wanna play them, but if it is for playing then there's a LOAD of FE fan games that naturally are on the tone of the series, a bunch are pretty popular among the fandom, even.

I agree with Jotari that they're wildly variable in quality. Buy yes, some do look a bit goofy and I think it's generally because they have sort of a baby face (large chin/round head+ very tiny mouth), sometimes characters that smile on the portrait have the mouth be too close to the nose (that is only a tiny spot for a lot of them) and some have different that looks a bit goofy on the eyes part too (like the eyes to close to one another, very long eyebrows,...). I don't think they're bad ("goofy" really is the right word for some), I like how they use a lot of different angles and how even back then, the characters used to have different facial expressions on the portraits (though, speaking if the angles, maybe it'd have been easier to make them look prettier if everyone had a standard angle like on the later games, idk, but I think the objective was to make them more reconizable- since there were so many characters- not prettier anyway).
