Being stuck on the 'Cube and Wii, the games have little accessibility, and their sales weren't great in Japan and probably anywhere else. Tellius is not truly popular, it's a passionate minority that adores it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Modern FE is in a league on it's own but aside from that, Blazing Blade and Sacred Stones are like the only other accessible Fire Emblems because Virtual Console. Looking at it from a worldwide angle, i know Archanea and Judgral were pretty popular in Japan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint Rubenio Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 (edited) Okay! That took way too long. Like 15 minutes in total, but Garos is finally injured. I can take him down to 1 HP with another arrow - if he doesn't get crippled I'm gonna cry. ...And then I'll load a savestate, because while I value the legitimacy of my runs, I value my time more, and with the save I have my time is the only thing I stand to lose. But first, I've another hour of class to sit through. 15 minutes ago, Armagon said: Feel like you could apply this to most Fire Emblems honestly.

Heck, I'd argue it's not even all of modern FE. It's only Three Houses that has really managed to attain mainstream status. Everything else has its fanbases, with varying sizes (Awakening and Fates are definitely on the bigger side), but none are really on the level of Three Houses. Clearly good marketing >>>>>>>>> good game design. Quote Looking at it from a worldwide angle, i know Archanea and Judgral were pretty popular in Japan. If I recall correctly Mystery of the Emblem was the best selling FE in Japan until like Three Houses. So yeah, Archanea is pretty big there.

Acacia Sgt Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 Well, we certainly saw that with Awakening. Regardless of how the game is, it got marketed, and it showed in the sales figures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awakening got big enough to where it saved the series so i'd argue at least for that, it goes more than just "varying sizes". 4 minutes ago, Saint Rubenio said: If I recall correctly Mystery of the Emblem was the best selling FE in Japan until like Three Houses. So yeah, Archanea is pretty big there. It was the best-selling FE period until Three Houses beat it iirc. Although technically, Fates was split into three, so if you combine the totals, Fates becomes the best selling. But that's cheating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just now, Armagon said: It was the best-selling FE period until Three Houses beat it iirc. Not "period." It would've been impossible for it to have been the best selling FE period, considering it didn't leave Japan.

You know, I swear that this is the first time I've heard someone say something good about Awakening in like, a year. I might have to play Awakening one of these days. At the very least, I won't be as supremely disappointed as I was with Three Houses, because my expectations for Awakening are nonexistent.

Me thinking that Three Houses is a poorly designed game that was carried hard by its marketing does not mean that I think Awakening is better. I have no idea how Awakening plays, I cannot say if it is better or worse. You misunderstood me.

At least on this thread, i think the only person who actually dislikes Awakening is Sooks. And BrightBow but BrightBow hates like 95% of IntSys anyway so this doesn't really count. Like i said in the past, emulation costs zero percent of your time (unless it can't run very well) and you already know Citra works on your end so really, what have you got to lose?

BrightBow Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 I love how IS was so pretentious to name all the songs after quotes from the game, and then on the Iwata Asks for Fates, they directly called Awakening's story "bad". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
