This was a very nice Direct. FE Heroes looks neat, but unfortunately my phone is basically an ancient rock that only calls and texts, so I won't personally be able to play it. Still, good for the people who can. The FE2 Remake is nice-looking, too. It was one of those games that I've tried to play, but was definitely a product of its time with a lot of overall clunkiness that always made it hard to get into. So, being able to play an updated version will be nice. Lastly, FE Warriors getting a New3DS release was huge for me, too, since I probably won't be able to afford a Switch until at least a year after launch (which will be just in time to get the new FE Switch game that was announced in this Direct, and maybe the new Xenoblade game, too).
All in all, possibly my favorite Direct in the last few years.
Gaiden Remake - No avatar! I'm so happy! No Krises! Yay! ...Unlike Fates, I will be getting this. Also will probably get the Alm/Celica amiibo.
FE16 (I'm assuming Echoes/the Gaiden remake will be considered FE15, since we count Shadow Dragon and New Mystery as 11/12): No info, so not much to say here.
Warriors: No new info beyond a bit of Chrom's moveset. Oh well.
Heroes: I'm... oddly hyped for this. It actually looks pretty fun. Not a huge fan of needing the RNG to be nice for your favorite character (I just want my Wolt~!) but the fact we're getting literally everyone is dang awesome. Also, the graphical style/spritework is absolutely adorable, I love it.
New 3DS handles 50 or so smash characters, don't understand why it couldn't For Warriors.
'Cuz Warriors games have, like, hundreds of mobs fighting you and your hundreds of generic allies at all times. It's a surprise that older models of 3DS can handle Warriors games at all (even if barely, from what I hear).
On topic, I'm definitely interested in Gaiden's remake. I played the original a bit, but never completed it. Definitely the odd one out in the series, though since the most recent games are taking cues from it (namely indestructible weapons and the ability to travel around a map), it seems fitting they'd bring it back. I'll definitely pick it up as soon as I can.
FE Warriors... I mean, I was half expecting that if we got more than just news on a couple titles, we wouldn't get much from this. We'll see more in the future, though I do believe our old heroes from Valentia suddenly became much more likely.
I'm not really a mobile player; I even skipped out on some that would probably really be appealing to me, like Fallout Shelter. FE Heroes might be the first mobile game I'll play. Who knows?
I came into the Direct not expecting more than coverage of the games we already got coming, and so I was completely surprised when I learned that we'd be getting yet another main entry into the series. I'll be following news of this new game, for sure.
A little disappointed by lack of news on Fates DLC, but to be honest, it's been almost a year since the game came out in the U.S., and a year and a half since it first released in Japan. The only games I know where they'd continue releasing DLC after that point would be MMOs. Maybe some outliers, but generally speaking, they don't wait several months between DLC releases. So basically, I wasn't putting all my chips into getting DLC... even if I'm still a little salty about it, but that saltiness isn't directed at this... uh, Direct.

I adore New Mystery, but seeing Echoes makes me wish they waited just a little bit longer to remake 3.
