We have three months of data, and as of July 25, the game has sold 193,159 units as per Famitsu. It will need to sell another 57,000 copies to be on par with New Mystery of the Emblem. It's not impossible, but the data suggests that it will be extremely difficult to accomplish.

New August mobile calendars are now out. Both are looking pretty good.
-
Amazing that over 8000 people voted, but only 1300 of them could be bothered to press the RT button.
-
That doesn't seem too terribly likely I'm afraid. It's virtually lost all momentum in Japan, will be the lowest selling FE game since Radiant Dawn.
-
What blows my mind, is Amy of all characters getting in 406th place. She got more votes, than Julius for crying out loud.

You know, just mess with everyone and make it Hayden as the first bow knight in the game.

Does anyone actually care if we have Selena and Selena? People aren't stupid, they're going to understand the difference between the two.

Every quarterly report, Nintendo releases a list of games which sold at least 1 million copies during than respective quarter. This previous quarter lasted from April 1 - June 30, which of course includes the global release of Echoes. Echoes is NOT listed among other titles which sold one million units.
-
From the report, we know that Echoes sold less than 1 million copies globally. I wonder if its like warm performance will have any impact on the development of FE Switch?

Duessel is who I would most like to see first.

At 60 days to release, Hyrule Warriors only had shown off only 4 playable characters. They're not going to reveal everything 2 months in advance and let the hype fizzle out while people wait for the game to release. There will be a slow drip for now, then things will pick up around labour day.
-
The game is still over 60 days away from release. They have plenty of time to get the hype machine running.
-
Inklings and Spring Man are assuredly going to be added. Being internally developed characters from breakout games, the only thing stopping them would be if someone at NCL wants them to be excluded.
-
I would imagine, that because the game has so many Germanic elements, the notion that it's just a Buddhist thing didn't really fly. I'm trying to find the article, but locating a news story from 20 years ago is quite challenging.
-
I think you might actually be onto something OP. I remember years ago on FESS, somebody posted an old article from the mainstream Japanese media about either FE4 or FE5 being recalled by Nintendo because one of the maps had a swastika made out of trees. I wish I had saved that article, because for the life of me I just can't find it.

I'm an archanea guy, so it would draw me in. But i do feel for people whose series isn't represented. If I am gonna get this game, it'll be on the new 2ds. Do you think that'll help increase sequel likelyhood?
No, because the game is only for Switch and New 3DS.
Edit: Whoops, reading fail on my part. Yes, any sale will help.
-
You can't forget that the game has 2 publishers, which would effect having a worldwide release. Koei Tecmo needs to release the game when it's appropriate for their Japanese slate, and Nintendo needs to release it at the proper time in the west.

My god, that guy hadn't been a moderator for years. GAF is a fine community with all kinds of members with differing opinions. What GAF doesn't tolerate is people acting like idiots, and frankly I think that would strengthen a lot of other forums.

I have to be honest. If we get DLC, I hope they don't stack it full of lords. Either select characters who can bring something unique like Skrimir or Jaffar, or just focus on additional characters from the three games already featured. Lords will trickle in with every new game, so let other characters have the DLC spots.
-
That's true Ana, but they have kept repeating that the roster is being determined from three games. Until they show off a playable character from a game outside of those three titles, we all need to take it as the truth. I don't want to September 28 to come by, and have people feeling like they were cheated because they expected something they were blatantly told was not happening.

That popularity comment has to mean Ike is in! He's been a poll winner/super popular character for a good while! (talking more about Famitsu and such, not Heroes). This helps the chances for some others who ranked high in the Heroes poll too for DLC (since that poll came sorta late).
Please don't look at this as a confirmation of Ike. Nintendo and IS have done their own character polls for the cast of Awakening and Fates, from context that's clearly what they're referring to.

Those simplification was pretty unique to the GBA games, and once we got to Tellius, we got most of those things back. Ignoring the things TRS didn't keep, or heavily modified, and Tellius didn't have THAT much less going on than the Kaga games. And I don't think there's a person in the world who doesn't have a mature, malignant brain tumor that would call PoR "over complicated".
Even the 3DS games, far and away the most popular in the franchise, and regardless of how you feel about the games, have WAAAAAAY more going on than the GBA games.
Pretty much the only thing from the Kaga era games that hasn't made its way into back newer games is mounting/dismounting, and once again, I don't think there's a person who has played 776 that didn't think it wasn't a good idea, even if the execution made sword cavs 10x more desirable than other mounted units.
What you're forgetting, is the personnel behind the scenes who make those decisions changes over time. For the first two GBA games, Takehiro Izushi was in charge of the franchise and he absolutely wanted the games to be simpler. After he retired, Hitoshi Yamagami took over and started reintroducing classic features into the games.
-
I think the reason was that Red Star was the default player army in Famicom Wars, so they flipped it for FE.
-
Binding Blade simplified the gameplay of Fire Emblem. It removed dismounting, it abandoned fatigue and capturing, the skill system was removed, it reduced the number of classes, and the magic triangle was streamlined. The game was still challenging, but there was a conscious effort to remove things that over-complicated the games for more casual fans. You look at TRS in comparison, and it while it does drop some of the features from the Jugdral saga, it still maintains a lot of them.
And let's be honest, we know that Kaga killed one franchise. I don't think it's a stretch that he would have killed FE if left at the helm.

I'm talking strictly domestic sales. Because of the cost of localization, distribution, and currency exchanges, Japanese companies often base their budgets on domestic sales.
