Yeah "Awakening saved the series" is very tired of a point and I don't really get why people bring it up. If anything, some might find it insulting to see a game different than what they want save what they want saved. And either way, what's made FE so much more mainstream is just marketing plain and simple. Thanks for saying that. I just thought my rant might come off as pretentious, know-it-ally and like I was acting like I knew human psychology like it was my major or something.

There's negative members in every fanbase. It's nothing new. Also, iirc, it took until Fates, Awakening, and Echoes came out for a large number of people to crap on any part of it. People overestimate how much of the fanbase is "shit." Then again, that's how most fanbases always are. The Undertale, FNAF, etc. fanbase are nowhere near as bad as people think they are. It's pretty funny too because you'll see a video about how the series is bad and 99% of the comments are just "man the FNAF fans sure did come crawling out" or something like that even though maybe two comments are like that. To give an example in FE, the recent "Basically this is FE" video had a comment with a ton of likes that tried to act like all old fans are is whiners and that they deny that any of the video's content represents FE. People get a weird victim complex when it comes to fanbases and it is intriguing, laughable, and sad all at the same time. People forget that the silent majority exists oh so easily. Man I sound like a douche in this comment.

Pretty sure the 3 day treehouse is just gameplay stuff though. I don't remember them ever revealing stuff there. Also, since FE is a big IP now, I highly doubt they would just let it get revealed so unceremoniously.

As Nintendo has stated before, it's not a remake. FE16/FE Switch is an original main series game. Whether that means it's related to past games in any way is still up in the air though. Also, I think someone is allowed to dislike something even if they haven't played it or at least say they're disinterested. I don't need to watch The Room to know how bad it is for example. It could be amazing, but having these first impressions be so bad is a big mistake on Game Freak/Nintendo's part.

Gonna have to agree with this as well. Too much dumb crap in all of them for my tastes.

Reminder that there were 3 different charts and that two of them were proven as different in format and therefore likely false.

The only reason I was against the removal of face-petting was not becuase I wanted it or liked it, but just because I dislike censorship of almost any kind. It feels like babying to remove stuff because we supposedly "can't take it." I understand why some might not be bothered by smaller changes, but I've learned that when it comes to stuff like censorship it usually comes in small steps towards larger things so I always am against it. Adding content or changing something slightly to keep the T rating is justifiable imo and is fine, but otherwise I will always disagree with it. The Soliel controversy was really stupid as it started with a joke taken seriously and went from there as people who probably weren't even into FE or knew what it really was decided to suddenly care about it. I'm more mixed with her character itself as she's such a non-used stereotype from Japan (more common ones including tsundere and the like) that just no one would get here in the US and it would come off as confusing. Though they didn't change the supports (except her S's and M!Corrin's), so it still doesn't really make sense to uninformed players so it's still weird. Though some of the stupidest changes were in the other supports where things changed for no good reason. Some of the S supports for the children characters became "best friends forever" supports (RIP M!Kana) and Saizo and Beruka's C support randomly was changed into a joke support. All in all though, censorship is really annoying and should be avoided. Also, I feel like we had this convo some amount of pages ago and I typed something really similar. All rant aside, it's very likely something will get censored. I didn't really hear anything about Echoes getting censored though, though that was still by 8-4 who are a lot less stringent. Though if we're getting a world wide release, it might be Treehouse which is usually OK, but they fucked up Fates in many ways, which hurt my trust a lot.

I mean I don't think it was terrible. Just kinda mediocre. Though you get used to it. I won't comment further on XC2's story because this isn't the thread for it and I don't wanna go over in detail of what I disliked because of that. Though I disagree about both being better than anything FE has recently. Ignoring XC2 so we avoid debate about its story, a lot of FEs have high quality stories. Not perfect of course, but quality nonetheless. Though you did say in your experience, so I don't know what FEs you have played or not to know that perspective. If it's just the really recent ones, then I understand perfectly. I dislike XC2's story, but between it and Fates, XC2's story is far better.

Xenoblade Chronicles 2 also has a shit ton of voiced stuff (despite its questionable quality). Which FE has. Hopefully it doesn't go towards XC2's quality though. In voice acting or story.

I don't think they need to extend the amount of chapters (story or not) too long. Doing so usually dips both the quality of the maps/gameplay as well as the story.

Yeah, that door and the one about are my least favorites. At least the one above has a fun minigame

I am, in a way, glad to see that I was not the only one to think that both of those sucked.

Yeah, I did. Woops. Put some pics of examples in the spoiler below. I might start from the beginning again just to get some more pics of examples.

So is the chapter 13 boss supposed to have capped strength, skill, and speed? Because I don't think she is. I might have an older version though. Edit: Yeah it seems to be a mistake that's happened a couple times in some chapters where the stats have been a little scewed into ridiculously high numbers every now and then. Probably an error with the input of stats, growth rates, and levels of enemies if I had to guess the source. It's really easy to screw that stuff up, especially in FEBuilderGBA

Foot and sword unit with some crazy ass anime-hairstyle that ruins the rest of the character design. So basically M!Corrin

At the rate we're going, we will probably reach 120 easy tbh. Now that I've said that though I've jinxed it

I feel that the Cipher OCs and whatnot aren't in any way connected to FE16. It would completely alienate a lot of western FE players, a large part of buyers, to do so. It's probably just a reference for fans of Cipher for a Cipher character to ask something about the Boundless Chaos. I do think that Cipher OCs will be DLC in FE16 though sense Echoes did so. I also enjoy Nieve's art. It's tasteful fanservice which I can get behind. More is less after all.

These are both Cipher mascots. Pretty recent ones at that. They've introduced quite a few recently.

I think it's just supposed to show that he once was a genuinely good guy and that Lopto is the only reason he is the way he is now. It also helps show the inner conflict of Ishtar as she struggles against the right path of justice, or the obviously less righteous path of staying with the ones she loves despite their evils.

Whining is what we do best though, kappa.

Their Youtube channel is, in all honesty, the only channel I have notifications on for.

So the foot-in-the-door effect basically?

Not to side with anyone, but I'm 99% sure people get off to pretty dark as shit rapey stuff on the net and they aren't raping people so I don't think it's as simple as that.

The author was found to have... dubious, shall we say, materials of underage females. It sparked a debate by many about if you can still enjoy art if you don't like the artist/they're a terrible person. Personally, I think you can. I fucking hate 99% of Hollywood, but that hasn't stopped me from buying their shit movies.

Considering how the games act, sometimes they want to act like they take place in medieval times with medieval values, then they're suddenly very egalitarian. Also, it wouldn't be the first time something unappealing to people appears in a game taking place in a different period. Not that I'm defending the Sanaki thing though. This better be some culture gap about what a flower girl looks like or something.
