Two main reasons: first, it would be a cool way to get black characters into a Fire Emblem setting, and second, I just listened to the Japanese lion king musical soundtrack and after listening to the stampede I just need to know what kind of map and battle themes IS could do with these instruments: I’m not so sure about Fire Emblem: We wuz Kangz, but I’ll support it for the memes.

Ivy Wife Supremacy Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 Hoshido did it great would like another go if its planned already more Arabian/Egyptian culture would be fantastic especially for the potential classes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh come on, an African nation as one of the countries in a Fire Emblem world would be cool! Ancient African cultures taken to fantasy extremes? Picture it: their cavalry could be axe and lance users riding fucking lions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zapp Branniglenn Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 Not something I'd want or expect of the next game, but I'm hoping we get another shot at doing Japan in a future game. Outside of its classes Hoshido didn't really get a chance to strut its theme. We got one chapter that showed us peacetime in Hoshido, where Corrin and his siblings are walking through a market. One stand hails Corrin over and offers him the Japanese delicacy of...roasted potatoes. What? That is a slam dunk opportunity to culture shock the protagonist. Instead we get potatoes (not a Japanese staple food, nor is the concept of roasting their food). Maybe it was the localization, but that scene sums up how in-authentic Hoshido is to me. And it didn't help that the way people speak and the slang they use is indistinguishable from Nohr. Neither country has any cultural differences or beliefs that you'd expect them to rally around in times of war. The Hoshidan populace even refer to their royalty as Prince ______. I know people can get annoyed when the honorifics get thrown around in a localized game, but it certainly would have helped sell me on how they observe their rulers. In fact, why is Hoshido a Kingdom to begin with? That's a foreign concept to the Japanese. Make it a shogunate or an empire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, that’s why I think it would be too alien from traditional fire emblem to make the entire game. It should just be one of several countries.

The Radiant Hero Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 4 class Designs I came up with for an Arabian Fire Emblem idea First one is: Falcon Glider Weapons of choice: Lance and Daggers Promotes to a Phoenix Glider and gains swords upon promotion, abilities would be, Sand Surfer: negates all negative terrain from sand and gain +10 avoid on sand terrain, Mirror Falcon: depending on the wielder skill, there is a chance your attack will summon a falcon to fight by your side doing a consecutive attack for one turn. Second one is: Mercenary Weapon/s of choice: Swords Promotes to a Brave Lion (the one pictured) and gains the use of axes upon promotion, abilities would be, Recklessnes: increase Crit chance by 75%, reduce defense by 50% in the following turn. Third one is: Scholar Weapons of choice: Staves and Librams Promotes to an Inscriber and gains a new weapon type Roc Feathers (these feathers have magical abilities where it makes everything inscribed with it into a reality for a little while).

Camels are used only for Travelling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sentacotus Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 Or you could have multiple of them with different units reflecting different areas of the map. Plains could have horse archer units like mongols and huns, while river valleys and hilly regions have more classic ground soldiers and knights, mountains could have fighters etc. I have an idea I've bounced around a bit on here of having a game where you lead mercenary army you build from the beginning you recruit different units and build your army essentially the way you want it based on who you decide to recruit and depending on where you recruit them from reflects their unit type. Maybe a bit to grandiose but one can dream Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Denver Fan Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 I would say that having a late 1800s theme wouldn't be bad. There would be new classes like cowboys and western themed outlaws. New weapons like cannons and guns. It would make it a step towards being popular in the U.S. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ae†her Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 We need more tribal power. Like a nomadic warrior horde who sets up bases across their area of the continent, but can not always be found there because they're constantly moving and fighting. I would like them to have similar aspects to Native American Tribes, as well as aspects from the Mongols. More specifically I want them to embody animal spirits, and be all about nature yet this contrasts heavily against their way of fighting and brutal methods.

Although not nomadic, this could also be done with a culture reminiscent of Iron Age Celts. The Celts respected and feared nature, yet were known for being brutal and devastating on the battlefield. They don't have animal spirits in Celtic Folklore, but they do have lots of voluntary and involuntary shapeshifting into animal forms.

Well I didn't really want Laguz just a group of savage warriors who are actually very interesting when you get to live in their society. I meant animal spirits as in they worship animal gods, and channel their power to help them on the battlefield or something like that.

Oh; I wasn't suggesting they be laguz; I was just trying to think of what animal-related stuff there is in Celtic Folklore. Now that you mention it, there are a few animal gods in Celtic Mythology, such as Tarvos (god of bulls), and Epona (goddess of horses).
