gahhhhh this makes its so less heart wrenching Forsyth my child, you and Lukas will ascend together

Yeah the link arena was pretty fun in fe7/fe8. Lots of memories with friends on that. I think co-op 2 army kind of dealio would be really cool. It would add to endgame content. Possibly really hard stuff to tackle and having someone else in the mix could make it interesting

What kind of multiplayer features are you guys looking forward to? I really want some sort of co-op or duel type systems in place. I feel like co-op always could of been something interesting and help broaden the game to new heights. It wouldn't be too hard to implement either.

100% this these types of characters make these games very tense. having them appear behind or in your main camp going for your commanders head is a thrill and it makes multiplayer more strategic Also Jaffar top 5 fire emblem characters for me so yeah a little biased

Fate's Berserkers felt weird, most of the time their crit chance was much higher than their hit chance. Building one proved difficult to say the least, it always felt like a gamble to engage.

Conrad is an interesting one, having that dual-sided nature depending on if his mask is on or not. Its interesting because he must of had some sort of serious trauma done to him. That being said he's a welcome addition to the cast, helps Celica's route feel more balanced too with the Cavalier Well Alm would certainly get the throne regardless. He's a Zofian war-hero that led the Deliverance to win the war. On top of that he's Rigelian Royalty whose next in line. They're uniting the whole peninsula so its not just a Zofian king thing. More like a political wedding to unite both nations, Alm has his subjects respect for the arts of war and Celica has won the hearts of her people for her stark devotion to Mila etc.

I doubt we'd get a RTS for FE anytime soon, problem with them is they aren't very popular. The only current successful selling RTS is Starcraft and honestly its like the god of its genre so of course it will sell decently. But even that has issues makes tons of profits compared to other blizzard titles. Now that being said, i'd love a FE with a little RTS action mixed in. It would be pretty crazy tbh

Considering the switch can be on the tv or handheld i feel like this will change how the interface will be naturally. Honestly i expect it to be more akin to handheld titles than console ones...

Despite me having a Deen avatar i think you need to really take to to appreciate how ridiculous Vrai and Deen once looked. He was desperately in need of a redesign. Like don't get me wrong i love booting up Yu Yu Hakusho and enjoying me some Kuwabara but hes straight up a trope. They took a drastic redesign and made him actually stand out in a meaningful way. Vrai even with Deen's basic portrait doesn't stand out and he's forgettable. If they were switched i'd actually be aggravated that i wouldn't be able to recruit Vrai. Not because i like edgy character or anything i could care less, but because the artist took a huge liberty and tried to make something of a random side character. But Deen is completely forgettable as he is with such a design, like saying he deserves to have his original design is silly (basically a palette swap of Vrai in gaiden anyways) I guess? man of few words, its not a complex character design? he was the same before really, disappears after the war etc. He's never had much plot relevance now he has a support with Jesse and conveys to him that he should be careful not to end up like him etc. I wouldn't say he really has any sort of character development compared to someone like Rutger whose sole purpose is revenge and has way more in supports to make him a believable character. I disagree, this redesign in my opinion makes him MORE of a choice than he was before. he doesn't look like some sort of goofy japanese gangster trope, hes the other purple person in Greith's Band of Bad dudes that you can recruit. And if you choose not to he makes a dangerous boss fight (Valbar please save you) etc Because both of these characters are so much more relevant plot-wise. If Dean has his own palette in OG gaiden im sure there would be more emphasis to modernize his original design instead of remake it completely. Just because they appeared as a spotpass unit in awakening doesn't mean they deserve to look ridiculous.

True facts that being said, if Swordmasters are considered in a meh spot what about Berserkers? They're basically the slower bulkier version of a Swordmaster tied to a different class I'd imagine it depends on how axes are in general in the new fire emblem. Berserkers always seemed better because of tomahawks but maybe that's just me

yeah maybe it would be a bit much but knocking the multiplier down to x2 from x3 is a pretty big hit i'd say. Dealing double damage is still strong, so if they are still quite faster its basically a brave sword effect if they hit twice. Yup, too bad axes were downright terrible though.. Still arena in Fe6 was quite scary because of those buggers

Maybe something Warring states Japan period. Have those outside forces of foreign nations with a deep bridled civil war for the whole country. It's a very popular theme, albeit a little overdone it could still be used quite effectively.

What swordmasters need is a class defining trait that makes them a different option. One could say oh but they have Astra - True but it is heavily dependent on rng, You could pick an Assassin if you really wanted to get the job done and atleast have access to other skills Boosted Crit- in the older games (Fe6 for example) this was pretty nutso, it got toned back in Fe7 and they were still decent but failed to get the job done sometimes (whereas assassins for instance didn't fail) because of their pitiful str caps Lets bring back something to make them stand out, how about bring back boost crit, but bring it back in a big way. But also make it so they don't deal as much as a normal crit, (make it 2x instead of 3x) but say they get 40-50 bonus crit. So roughly they are dealing 2x the damage almost consistently so it makes them better in a way but not too crazy. I feel like swordmasters in essence we're always about the crits, they always have seemed to shine with crits in one way or another. Whether through multi astra crits or just critting all the time. Lets keep that as a class essential so they feel unique and are still threatening one way or another. It makes them decent on enemy phase and player phase, and just keep their dodge as good as it was.

probably merc is good to fix his speed and skill issues. but even then hes overall a weird one. Mage Atlas could totally work as you don't need skill to really hit stuff but he won't be doubling much

Ye Lukas is getting my Villagers Fork. He just seems cooler as a Gold knight. just my opinion though, maybe the Spartan overclass will change my mind idk

Barons are probably just overall dangerous to use because witches exist. and boy do they not mess around, especially when they can warp into where you're trying to defend said units and tear them a new one.

LOL this got me good, you tell em boy seriously, calling the localization censorship is a little ridiculous. We won't always agree with the changes but they do change some for the better. But it really is what it is

maybe if the overclass gives some extra move Spartan will be clutch who knows

Mathilda is quite good as she is, idk what you would make her? Falcoknight probably? News to me, I thought they looked quite good, Gradivus and that Saunion seem to do work... Sol of course has Sol... so yeah idk whose telling you they're bad

he is a baron at best. the worst class in the game, maybe a candidate for your villagers fork?

pretty sure that lets you use the darkness sword with no drawback. could be wrong

from all the gameplay i've been looking at. doesn't look too bad

Valentian Forgeries? haha

cool another person who got the limited edition i wanted but it went out of stock immediately so yeah f me
