A game only sells well when the publishers push sales with good marketing and distribution... I don't think Echoes got even close to the same treatment that Awakening and Fates got in terms of trying to hype people up. I'm sure Nintendo knows perfectly well how Echoes was going to fare in terms of sales. I wouldn't get dramatic about the fate of the franchise just yet.

Sales aren't great, but I think it's fine for a remake that came out of nowhere. It was obviously never meant to sell as much as "mainline" fire emblem games. I don't see the game hitting 230k on week 2. Sales drop off like 75% after first week. I feel like it'll take ~2 months to reach 230k JP sales.

Used 80 orbs today... way too lucky. Only downside is Ike was -SPD. :( I love him regardless.

I recently bought the original game to this, lol. Oh well! I'm glad to see it being remade! I've heard amazing things about it.

Thank you so much! Was worried I would end up giving the wrong skills and forever be stuck with them...

Is there a limit to inheriting skills, outside of using up SP? Like, can I feed a ton of skills to one unit, then get to pick which skills to equip? (Sorry if this has been answered before ;_;)

Yup, my Fae and Robin would not have survived otherwise. Hanging onto that 1 HP...

I haven't been leveling up my characters at all, so even getting the 3* Ursula was a struggle! 5* Lv.35 Camilla, 5* Lv. 32 Fae, 4* Lv. 34 Robin, and 3* Lv.28 Oboro.

FE: Awakening was the first (and only) Fire Emblem game for a lot of people. She was kind of the front and center female character for it. The Smash bump also contributed a lot to it.

This was so nerve-wracking! I can't believe I managed to submit within minutes before midnight o<------<

Ahhh, I haven't posted in so long!! Tiki! and elise!

i didn't have the time to enter last year, so i really want to try this year! unfortunately, i forgot drawing more than one character means it takes waaaay more time. :( hopefully i can get this in on time, haha.

It's really hard for me too! It took me such a long time to get used to it, partly because I was too afraid of it looking bad. I suggest using real people as references to help you out. Thank you! Soejima has a very distinctive art style.

Long time no see thread... I should update! I resized these since they are actually huge, haha. Feel free to click on them for full size. Camilla! Ewan & Saleh!

PM64 and TTYD are probably some of my favorite games of all time. I would be so hype about the possibility of this game but after SPM and Sticker Star, I'm hesitant. ;(

I might try to join this... but it's only about a week until the deadline. :( Let's see if I can make it...

I don't see why not. I believe If/Fates already got a manga adaption, so going the anime route sounds perfectly plausible. It'd be a missed opportunity to not ride on FE's new-found popularity. My only concern would be that the anime would probably be low quality. :-( My other grand guess for what Nintendo might do is a Splatoon related show. The new IP seems to be doing the hottest in Japan and they need to make sure its popularity continues.

Recent update! Forde and Franz~ This was for the Nagamas Secret Santa. Hope my match likes it!

Figured I may as well have a thread to update any Fire Emblem fanart I do! Lately, that is what I seem to draw the most haha~ I'll update/edit this thread when I have anything new to show! Also, please call me Addy. My art blog is located here, although not everything I draw is FE related. Feel free to comment, critique, or request anything. I'm also open to any questions new artists may have (but keep in mind I am definitely no expert). *WARNING: The pics under the spoilers are quite big* Most recent finished piece: Most recent step-by-step: Currently working on...

FE8 through FE13! Currently playing FE7, though (finally).

I've known about Serenes for a long while, and I think it's finally time I actually register and post on here. I'm really glad this forum is still going after so many years! I might have even had an account in the past? I have no idea. Let's see... I first learned about Fire Emblem with the inclusion of Marth and Roy in Melee. My first game was the Sacred Stones. I fell in love with it and have a big fan of FE ever since! I think it has been around 10 years now? Wow... I guess the only other thing about me is that I draw Fire Emblem fanart often, haha. So...hello and nice to meet you all!
