"F*ck no Yamada"

"Sounds like shitty fanfiction"

"Lol fake"

They're just mad.

They're also downvoting people who want kids to return into oblivion.

 

What a bunch of babies.

Not to be rude,but I feel that they wouldn't choose that artist for an full fledged fire emblem game, especially of this style. All of their art that I have seen is bright and colorful, and it would totally clash with the style of "gothic horror".

Never mind the Reddit posts, just take a look at the ones on 4Chan, I know it's 4Chan, but HOLY SHIT this comment is beyond scummy. *WARNING. EXTREMELY OFFENSIVE*

[Corrobin]

This kind of shit is why I never go there.

[Captain Vulgar]

Oh my god that's nasty.

Nice Shitpost

Through, this sounds kinda cool, it’s probably fake. Evil Avatars doesn’t seem like it would fit with the theme of FE IMO

 

[Kil0]

I want it to be real. That's all I really have to say. I think this could be a really cool take on Fire Emblem, so I want it to be real.

[B.Leu]

The funny thing is, it sounds actually like something they would do it's kind of crazy. Of course, we'll have to see if, in the end, it's true or not. If not, well, that sounds actually pretty cool.

[The DanMan]

Something that I've been thinking about: the leak says you can choose the base weapon for the avatar.  Could it be to better synergize with re-classing... or because re-classing is gone?

SD and NME had very little difference for units when class changed (generally just their hair color); the 3DS games used generic class models and basically just headswapped when a character reclassed. Fates, however, introduced the ability to class change via partner and buddy seals; Warriors took that further by letting anyone learn a character's specific skill as long as they had supported them and you had the right materials.

Could it be that, due to models being much higher quality, they axed re-classing? Just swapping the heads already looks sorta goofy, and it would stand out even more with higher quality models. And one of the biggest allures of class changing is skills. Could characters not be able to class change, instead being able to learn skills from support partners and being able to choose the avatar's weapon type is consolation for not being able to choose re-class options?

That... would be goddamn kickass.

[Hawkatana]

Guys, Mangs just posted a video discussing this. 

 

[The DanMan]

@Captain Karnage Uh... I see you're drastically uninformed, judging by your comment on Mangs' video.

The Kozaki art was from a compilation artbook of his and not directly tied to this. Miss Leaker used it in an OP to draw attention, but specifically said that it wasn't from the game. On top of that, can you name any point where it has "contradicted" itself?

[Alastor15243]

I'd love for this to be true, mostly because I'm big on vampires and making the story darker and more gothic would at the very least ensure a cutback on the wacky anime nature of the characters. Also a morally dubious main character would be great as long as they have the courage to admit that's what the character is *Cough Conquest Cough*

[Lord_Grima]

Ok, after watching Mangs' video, reading comments there and at the reddit post, and going back through all the leaks; I've updated the compilation to give a little more detail or clarify some parts(and add some small details I missed). I've underlined most of my edits. As I've said before, please tell me if I missed anything, or if you want more clarification on something. Enjoy :)

Okay, more Hawk Talks it seems:

Plot: Eeeeeh... It's alright, but how much do you want to bet Samael is some kind of Dragon?

Mangs fangasm: Okay, if your senpai is a bald Norwegian man who's bad at video games, sure... You do you I guess.

Pronunciation: thought so.

Classes: Yes! The Myrmidon & the Mercenary are in the same game! Also I get the feeling that the thing on the models sorta makes sense.

Day/night cycle expansion:  +30?! That's a bit much.

Cross-party Skirmish: I have no comments.

What was the question answered?

But yeah, some specific gameplay details seem fishy. That's what I've been most skeptical of; the basic idea and stuff I find believable, but some of this sounds too outlandish.

Whether or not she's Australian, due to her posts being convenient to the average Australian, turns out she's from New Zealand.

According to the leak, the game is gonna be shown off mid-December to mid-January. It's quite a big time gap however it could be interesting if they have another FE Direct like this year.

[Von Ithipathachai]

Don't know if I'm onboard with characters having the same model for different classes.  It doesn't seem like it would make a lot of sense to have a character with the same model as a Mage that they would have as an Armor Knight.

I'm gonna have to keep this in my mind.  Hopefully it'll be a good indicator of whether or not the leaks are legitimate when the time comes.

That's a super safe window, though. If it does get shown off then, the rumor doesn't get points for it but we'll be able to put it to rest at least.

 

[Serea-chan]

Hello long time lurker on this thread, well I guess in two or three months we'll figure out if this is bullshit or not. 

[Lord_Grima]

Well, more leaks == new update on the Compilation (and I just updated it as well...).

As cool as some of these ideas are, I don't think Kotaro Yamada is a very good artist and that alone is reason enough for me to hope this isn't real.

And let's face it, anyone can make stuff up and then post it on 4chan.
