Well, Wendy is a related name to Gwendolyn in the same way that Gwen is. I guess. I like it.

This crossed my mind, too. I really hope so. Perhaps the future will bring us Shadows of Jugdral, a reimagining of FE4 and 5 in one game. Seems like a pipe dream, but so did a Gaiden remake until now.

That's a good point. Still a small disappointment, but hey, I can't expect them to just worry about pleasing me :P Unrelated to my whining: I wonder if certain Gaiden-unique gameplay features will be returning, like magic costing HP and Dreadfighter being able to 'promote' into Villager for some insane reason.

Fire Emblem Gaiden remade for 3DS. It looks awesome. Just, really, really awesome. HOWEVER... Isn't anyone else disappointed that this won't be on Switch? It would have done wonders for the new console's first year. I don't know; maybe it's been in development for longer than IS have had access to the Switch, but I doubt it. I guess they want to take advantage of the 3DS's ready-made install base, but would a dual-system release really have been out of the question? Especially considering the fact that they're also releasing FE Warriors on 3DS (which will surely hamper interest in the Switch even further). I've been very optimistic about the Switch so far, and I'm definitely getting it on day one with Zelda. But I'm starting to worry about it just a tiny little bit, and it bugs me that in May I'll probably be more inclined to carry around my FE-blessed 3DS with me than my new Switch. But anyway. Shadows of Valentia looks fantastic. I couldn't stop smiling all the way through its trailer.

Eleonora = Leonardo? The names are similar; they're both blonde archers; Leonardo may not be a girl, but he is Edward's girlfriend. :P Can Leo and Eddie be viewed as a sub-example of the Cain and Abel archetype? Maybe? A little bit? No? Because to me, their personalities kind of suggest so.

This is a very interesting theory. Wiki says 'air' comes under Wood and 'storms' come under Water. Fire > Wind/Wood Wind/Wood > Thunder/Water Thunder/Water > Fire This would also make Wind good against Earth and weak to Metal, and Thunder good against Metal and weak to Earth...which all seems to make sense to me. Pokémon logic, right? However, I'm not sure they'd introduce new elements just to make them the same as pre-existing ones, so this might not be the case. The existence of Metal and Earth would keep things fresh, though.

My favourite option would be FE10's anyone-with-anyone supports without conversations, along with a separate, returning Info system, with special conversations available to certain characters in certain support relationships. That way, you can put any two characters together for gameplay purposes, so you don't have to feel like your main team is hindered by your favourite characters' few support options, and it allows for the kind of in-depth conversations that the GBA games and Path of Radiance had. Actually, this sounds cool.

If it returns, it should be just a regular class and not completely overpowered (i.e. no Veteran or Rally Spectrum). I'd rather we got a new class with the same weapons. Like others have said, Magefighter would be cool, and then maybe that could promote to Dark Knight or Dreadfighter (but a less OP Dreadfighter).

Maybe something like Lord/Mage/Mercenary? So you can get access to all weapons (save Dark, and whatever that new magic fan-thing is): Great Lord (if it's the same as in FE13, which it may very well not be) for Sword/Lance Sage for Magic/Staff Dark Knight for Sword/Magic Hero for Sword/Axe Bow Knight for Sword/Bow Looking at Kamui, though, I can imagine him using Dark. I also get the feeling he's a Manakete. I think it's pretty likely he'll be able to reclass to anything, or maybe he'll have Lord/Dark Mage/Manakete? Or maybe one or more completely new class(es).

For an optional character in FE and STEAM, and a Figure Player in Smash, and a physical collectable figure/toy, and also a few little misc. extras in Hyrule Warriors. Sure, maybe you'd have to own all those games to make it seem worth it, but the point is that amiibo are entirely optional. If you don't like them, and you don't think they're worth it, you don't need to worry. They don't affect you.

The thing about amiibo is that they're encouraging developers to add things that they wouldn't normally. Fire Emblem characters being in Codename STEAM would not have happened if amiibo didn't exist. The same thing will apply to this game if it gets amiibo support: without amiibo already being a thing, there would be pretty much no chance of Lucina, Marth, Ike and Robin appearing in FE14. And as much as you might pretend otherwise, I know that you know that that would be awesome.

If Kamui is more like a cross between Avatar and standard Lord, then I'd be perfectly fine only having limited customisation. Maybe all you actually choose are the name and gender...although his mugshot does look quite 'customisable'-ish. Edit: Is that Kamui fighting at 1:24 in the trailer? If so, is that a new attack animation for his class? Looks quite like a mercenary to me, but I'm not sure.

So...the Lord is an Avatar...and also a dragon? BEST. LORD. EVER. Yeah, I thought she looked VERY like Ninian as well. I had to check on Ninian's eye colour to make sure it wasn't actually her, but nope, she has true red dragon eyes. The next thought that sprung to mind was...descendant of Nils? But that's obviously very conjectural.

If marriage is included, I really don't want it to affect support conversations as much as it did in Awakening. There should only be a few options for each character.

I was gonna vote no and no, but actually I don't mind either way. I wouldn't particularly like to see children again; I'd rather there were more unique characters in the same generation. The biggest thing for me is whether it's a 'world map' game again. I was happy that Awakening followed the lead of Gaiden and SS, but now I feel ready for a linear game again.

I completely disagree. Both of these characters are great.

Guys. It's time for Soren. *Applause* Huh...also, I'm just trying to make a Joshua Mii (settling for reddish-brown hair because real red is stupidly not an option) and I just looked up FE8's release date to use for his birthday. Turns out today is the 10-year anniversary of Sacred Stones in Japan. That's cool.

I enjoyed Other M's story. Shoot me. I agree almost entirely with what Loki said. (Also, I'm curious to see that picture that was edited out, but I guess if it's not suitable for the forum, then that's that.) Yeah, I noticed that too. Seems to me like that should be more complained about than the awesome rocket heels, since it's purely cosmetic and not really suitable for a fight (though she does look nice). If I were the type to scream 'female objectification!', that'd be my trigger. But I'm not. However unnecessarily aesthetically pleasing she is, it doesn't stop her from being a complete badass even in Other M. I shake my head and sigh a little when Anacybele (sorry :P) fangirls all over Ike, but there's nothing wrong with her doing so. Intelligent Systems gave him muscles and made him (subjectively) more physically attractive in Radiant Dawn, and is that something to complain about? Is he an object? I've seen the comments on YouTube that OP was talking about, and they sadden me, because they're dismissing how cool she is to make over-the-top complaints and, I can only guess, make themselves feel holier than thou. Okay, so the 'Bottle Ship' and the 'Baby's Cry' were a bit cringeworthy, but really, that's all.

Yo, admins. Is it possible to remove a thread entirely?

I think I remember something about Kickstarter, yeah. I might just give it a go as no one seems to be replying.

Fudge, I thought I had it in my signature. I do on other forums. Silly me. Here it is: 2836 - 0188 - 2561

For those that don't know, this is a turn-based strategy with great-looking animation and apparently a very good story. I haven't checked it out yet, but I've seen it on Steam and I know it's also available on PSN and XBL. Has anyone played this? If so, could you give a brief explanation of how it plays? Is it like Fire Emblem, and would you recommend it?

I played the demo as soon as it was available, loved it, and downloaded the game on Christmas Day. I'm only about 14 hours in because I've been playing other new games like Assassin's Creed 4 and Super Mario 3D World, but I've been leaving my 3DS on sleep mode for ages so my Norende is very nearly complete. I've just added a few people who posted on the first page whom I recall seeing around the forums before. That's... (obviously) and and so yeah. Add me, please! Sorry about everyone else, but I just don't want to go through this whole long thing.

I don't really buy used games because on 3DS and PC, I get all of them digitally, and on Wii U, I get most of the games I want close to launch. The only gaming company I dislike is EA. I'm unlikely to buy any of their games in the near future, but to be honest, that's primarily because I'm just not interested in any of their games. I'm not sure whether I'd buy an EA game used if there was one I thought I'd really like.

I can't remember if I did before, but I should mention that I don't plan on publishing or selling this. At most, it's just a little experimental curiosity. But anyway, you've given me some good stuff to think about, so thanks. I of course respect the opinion of someone who's played a few of these games much more than I value my own rushed ideas. Hey, regenerating health is the only thing that saves me in modern shooting games :P I don't actually play them much, though, so...
