So, my suspicions were right on Gaiden coming after all!!!!
Fair warning, the spoiler sections are me just rambling.
Spoiler
So, honestly, I am liking the direction for Gaiden, much as it has some things that are pretty atypical for the series. Well, fitting as this is Gaiden. Sorry, Echoes: Shadows of Valentia. They're making the point of both countries having issues in even the opening trailer, which is better than Fates did. Well, I think I'm being mean here to be honest.
No sign of HP drain on magic use as yet, but it could be shown outside the battle screen.
Also, a release so soon is nice to see (is it 19th May for Europe too? Nintendo UK's video says that, but it's Yuri speaking, and we may have just got America's video).
Liking that dungeon crawling has free movement (progress from My Castle), while keeping the world map and exploring it. As long as moving on said map is not the same as the original.
Cutscenes are nice, though I hope the voices don't sound like it's a radio drama all the time. And even the in engine stuff is good (especially that Alm-Mycen spar)
The switch release, well, there's nothing much there to see, just that it's a thing.
And dammit Warriors, do you need to tempt me on getting a NEW 3DS?
As for Heroes, well:
Spoiler
So, a new game, but pretty similar in setting. And it involves summoning heroes. This could be FE's All The Bravest, or it could be at least decent. Small maps are sad to see, but not surprising.
While I thought the new characters were avatars, apparently not. Well, that's a mistake on my part.
And hey, Nino one-rounding while unpromoted? That's nice to see. :P
And magic/weapon triangle hybrid? Huh. Bows look to be outside this as well. Also note that permadeath is unlikely, though that would be maddening for this game imo.
Least it shows where the purchases are going to come from for this game, not like I could see how much it would cost.
And voicing, even for Narcien or Lilina? Pfft, much as that sounds hilarious, there might be something big in the background.
The visuals are pretty nice, but I'm on about the background and concept art.
Yes, it's on Android, so that's good to see.
Also, with all the FE6 stuff shown and played in the Heroes section, is that what's coming next?
Also, is there nothing on VC releases? :(
All in all, liked what I saw, or at least didn't dislike a bit, so that's a nice impression to start.
As a Brazillian I'm shocked that Brazil was included at all.
I almost gave up hope of ever having this game.
Brazil is the biggest country in South America, though, which makes it a first option to include the app on it. I expect the others to be included, or at least Argentina, Colombia, Chile, Peru, Paraguay and Uruguay ~
What a fantastic direct: the Gaiden remake - so far - looks pretty good and seems to finally "introduce" fully dubbed dialogues in the FE series. Also, Alm and Celica looks really gorgeous; the mobile game seems nice and I can see myself playing it for quite some time until the gaiden remake releases and for FE Switch, well there is not much that it can be said, tough It's nice to know that It's being developed right now.
New 3DS handles 50 or so smash characters, don't understand why it couldn't For Warriors.
But Smash doesn't have a whole bunch of characters on-screen at once, and if you recall, it couldn't handle 8 Ice Climbers (counting Nana and Popo separately since they still have their own models).
I'm not happy that FE Warriors is going on the 3DS, because it'll limit the Switch version. We probably should expect a small cast like Hyrule Warriors got... Sigh...

There's no info whatsoever on whether Koei Tecmo is going for roster parity between versions. Heck, the 3DS version of HW has MORE content. For all we know, the Switch version will have more characters.
This arrangement of the Alm Map theme 1 is Amazing. I'm getting way too excited right now.
EDIT: Now that I think about it, how will they handle the battle theme? Gaiden originally had one and it became quite iconic, so are there any chances that they may let us choose between the "Ablaze versions" and the classic formula(Map theme and - when fightning - normal battle theme)?

Yeah, but then you'll have a lot of 3DS version people whining that they're not getting the same content.
And there isn't as big a capability difference between the Wii U and 3DS as there most certainly is between the 3DS and Switch. The Switch obviously can do a lot more than the 3DS, and Koei won't be able to take advantage of that if both versions get the same amount of content.
I find it funny that they changed Fury to Erinys. Was someone at Nintendo Treehouse following bookofholsety on here or something?
Gaiden remake looks hype, and I find it funny that I can clearly hear Takehito Koyasu's voice in the trailer. Guy must really like Fire Emblem or something.

Or they really like mythology. Honestly, this is a really good compromise, and far better than Erin (which looks like it came out of nowhere).
Can't you just be happy for us 3DS plebs? I'm grateful more people get to play warriors, including me.
I really need to calm down, I'm still twitching in excitemet over Echoes!
I'm not happy 'cause I don't have a New 3DS. Oh well, I can still play Echoes.
Speaking of, I always imagined Alm wearing sleeker armor and looking more pissed off; I'm surprised to see him in bulky armor and looking all nice. His attitude in Gaiden is pretty much "they invaded us, so fuck 'em".
I'm probably going to be one of maybe three people picking Wolt, so you're not alone.
And FE 1/3 Cain with FE5 Cain.
I'm the only person in the world who voted for Ricken day 1. xD; But I do hope some unexpected characters make it out of the vote, rather than ALL the popular ones.

I'm glad the N3DS is getting more exclusives, xeno was getting lonely. They learned from HW (which should have been N3DS exclusive), and I have great optimism that this will play even better.
Gaidan remake looks god tier. The fact that there's no obnoxious nine month wait for localization is making me hyped almost as much as the fantastic art.
People rag on FE13/14, but damn I'm enjoying this whole "People actually play Fire Emblem" thing
