deleted35362 Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 They should have localized FE12 instead of 11. It definitely would have sold better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robinigo Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 I remember hearing about this, thank the gods the numbers we had to beat were nearly tripled. It'd be a shame to never get to revisit magvel. I want to go back and remind Franz what a lucky punk he is, and to say hi to Amelia of course Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Topaz Light Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 That news is rather worrying... I certainly hope Awakening's success marks a turnaround for the series' popularity and notoriety, which for the most part it seems to have; well, so far at least. I do hope, however, that it doesn't end up being the new "template"; at least, not for plots. Fire Emblem Awakening's story was its weakest point and while I'm fine with its gameplay elements returning (provided the game is made from the ground up with them in mind), I would feel rather resentful about the sort of storyline they did in Awakening becoming commonplace in the series. Something more like Path of Radiance's plotline combined with gameplay similar to Awakening's would be phenomenal; it'd be a day one purchase for me if I could manage it. Of course, I'd totally be game for a classic-style FE, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonic Boom Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 (edited) This news puts Id (Purpose) and the song's incorporation of the Fire Emblem theme on a whole new sentimental value for me. It was essentially going be the farewell song, so hey, Intelligent Systems was going to make sure you remembered it, and remembered everything about Fire Emblem. Happy to see that sales point toward the series continuing though! Just gotta make sure interest in the series remains high for the crows that got into thanks to FE13.

BlueLeafeon Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 I know I am late with the discovery of this topic, but I'm kind of glad that FEA sold well. In all honesty, they should have implemented the Casual mode thing way earlier in the series. I've had a lot of friends pick up Fire Emblem, only to lose all their units and get stuck on a later chapter, quitting the game altogether. Now I was that kind of person that reset due to perfectionism every time a character died, and as such I was able to get through the game. (Abet, I started with FE8, which was a lot easier than other games) Advance Wars is also a strategy game but so long as you had money, you could lose all the units you wanted and still get through. I think this is the core to getting more people interested. If they had implemented Casual mode back in FE7, the series would have been a lot better off, I think.

SnowDragon470 Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 (edited) This is actually my first and only fire emblem game the only time i have heard of it was in super smash brawl it never really appealed to me but i heard it was a strategy game kind of like final fantasy tactics for the GBA which i loved so i went and bought it ( it was sold out in the first store i went to lol) im absolutely loving it i started it on normal/classic ( for the sake of the "meant to be feel") i let sully die(kinda dont regret it unless she has a child fml) and the candy loving thief died on the mission you can recruit him ( REGRET ITTTTTTTTTT) im in the part before the final battle and ive just been so sidetracked with the bonus teams (ive recruited ike i knew him from ssbb) i have about 34hrs in the game so far and i bought it last week (addicted) i like the challenges it gives me ive also maxed the stats of an assassin in my team from streetpass with decent skills from other jobs once i feel contempt ill finish the story and start on hard/classic now that i have a better feel for the game im also planning to get the dlc its an enjoyable series : ] Edited June 2, 2013 by SnowDragon470 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
47948201 Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 i let sully die(kinda dont regret it unless she has a child Don't worry, Sully doesn't have a child. She WOULD if she were alive, but since she's not, she won't '3' Anyway, Awakening did what the title said it should do. But I really hope they use this as a popularity springboard to start trying new things since it'd be really stupid to do 2 or more "best-of" games in a row. Anyone else hoping for FE on Mars?

Does that mean i cant get that child anymore? x.x guess ill just add it on to my goals on hard difficulty when i start it im trying my best to not research too much into the game because of spoilers and such.

47948201 Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 Yeah, I know how you feel about spoilers x.x; But generally speaking, the women have children. ...Not sure how to bring this back on-topic... HEY LOOK. POTENTIAL DOOM AVERTED. Think IS will be more likely to take risks now that they've got cash on hand, or will they try Frederick's slow-but-steady road?

Tamanoir Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 On the topic of fanservice... Even if it played a role, Fan Service isn't enough. r else, Luminous Arc would be the best selling Franchise ever. It's also because it's a fun game with a fun gameplay. About Casual, I think every FE player should try at least one to play on Classic. Or try an older game without casual, to get the original fun. But, hnnestly, I prefer to play in Casual myself, because beginning an entire chapter for a stupid mistake isn't really fun. It also allows me to play more risky, and not turtle all day.

Carter Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 When I first read this news somewhere, I almost fainted. I loved the Fire Emblem series. Good thing that Intelligent Systems had so many sales! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rainbow Skittles Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 ok. anyway, i can fully believe that awakening could have been the last fe, considering that it references every other game in the series. I'm glad that IS will continue making FE though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fallinangel30 Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 Casual mode made it more like able. I played the others but I kept losing characters. Awaking made me a big fan I hope they keep casual mode In it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N7 Dynames Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 Fire Emblem owes a lot to Super Smash Bros. The game would never have even hit my radar, or any of my friends radar, without it. As it stands if it took IS being threatened with shutdown to make a decent game then I don't have that much hope for the next game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

47948201 Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 But anyway, I think I may've said this already, but while I understand the "do everything like it's your last" mentality, I hope they don't keep doing games like this since without new things to add to "best-of" collections, the whole thing will really become pointless...

Dark Champion Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 I think that the Sacred Stones on the 3DS Ambassador programme helped to boost sales. I had never played any Fire Emblem game before it and it was what made me get Awakening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
