    Don't forget, there really wasn't a whole lot of marketing or advertising for Fire Emblem: Awakening. It was an unexpected sleeper hit. Yes, it sold extremely well, but I don't remember hearing any sort of news (at least not a whole lot) about this game until the December before Awakening came out. That being said, I don't think Echoes will reach the same sale numbers as Awakening or Fates. It might sell slightly under a million copies in North America and Europe. Also, using the argument that "dedicated fans don't give a shit about Gaiden" is ridiculous. Yes, not a whole lot of people have played Gaiden, but that can easily be attributed to it never being localized/not aging well to where some people are turned off from playing the game. Doesn't mean that people don't care about the game. I haven't played Gaiden myself, but I still acknowledge it and I still care about it. I've wanted to play it, but haven't had the chance to until the upcoming release of Echoes.

    I would honestly love for Brina Palencia to be in Echoes. She's been one of my favorite voice actresses since her role as Eve in Black Cat, but given that she's predominantly a Dallas-based VA, my hopes haven't been too high even though she's done LA voice work. And even if they managed to get Troy Baker (highly unlikely due to him being a high-in-demand VA and union), he'd either go uncredited or use a pseudonym.

    You're not the only one who hears Edea Lee in there. To me, while I'm leaning more towards Cherami Leigh, it could easily be Cassandra Lee Morris as well.

    Never had the opportunity to play it. Sadly, it's like every other non-localized Fire Emblem game for me. I'd love to play it, but haven't had the chance to yet.

    Yeah. I think I was mostly thinking of them doing something like they did with Fates. Release both FE6 and FE7 remakes at the same time and having a bundle that contained both games. The cost logistics of everything wasn't something I thought about. It was me mostly wanting them released at the same time to avoid one getting a remake and the other not. Doesn't matter now since it's Gaiden that's getting remade right now.

    It honestly looks like a deflated butt bow, but not so much a bow. It's most likely just for decoration and it just looks funny at the angle we're seeing it as. Maybe when we get in-game models, it will make more sense/look less ridiculous?

    If he's not Alm then he has SOME role in Echoes. Or at least Heroes. Just a matter of figuring out who. (As most are beginning to believe, most likely Alm)
  8. Kaze
    This is true. I keep forgetting that at least on Alm's side, most of the beginning characters are inexperienced fighters.

    Also, not sure if you noticed, but Boey actually has a piece of armor on underneath his cloak. It's hard to see, but it's the same general shape as the armor that Mae is wearing (aside from the boob design). I'm also perplexed by the weird piece of armor(?) that Tobin, Kliff, and Gray are all wearing. It only covers a part of their left side.
  10. Kaze
    Believe me, I'm not trying to defend the choice for the boob plate. It find it ridiculous as well. Though for Mae and Celica, since they're magic users and not actual melee fighters/close-ranged fighters (I know Celica has a sword, mostly meant as a primary close-range situation), it might be done as pure design choice and not meant to be realistic. (Not saying a good design choice in Mae's case) We have yet to see how some of the female characters are designed that are also units that would typically have armor on. Clair is still MIA and she's a pegasus knight and usually the pegasus knights have some sort of chest armor.
  11. Kaze
    Kamui's design is most likely designed to specifically look Asian/from a different region. He's still a mercenary however. Also, regarding Mae's weird armor piece, pretty sure Celica has something similar going on with her design. The top part of Celica's outfit looks to be a separate piece of clothing that's connected to her floating sleeves and cape. I'm guessing it's armor that's colored to match her outfit. Could be leather since leather is more flexible to be form fitting like that. Same with Mae's armor piece.

    Rena Strober might not confirm if she's involved in Echoes or not. Especially since last time she said she was Azura when the first English trailer of Fates got released, she wasn't supposed to do that. Also, Kyle McCarley MAY be involved in Echoes based on this tweet by John Ricciardi that he retweeted:
  13. Kaze
    Still not as disturbing as Excellus.
  14. Kaze
    Okay. I was looking up to figure out who Kyle McCarley is and I was looking at his twitter and he retweeted a tweet by John Ricciardi. Perhaps a hint at Kyle's involvement in Echoes and perhaps a hint that he's Alm?
  15. Kaze
    Pretty sure that's just how Hidari decided to draw his eyelashes.

    Seeing Leon's new design makes me want to cosplay as him. Especially given his personality.

    Catria was never my favorite of the Whitewings. That honor went to Palla, but I do agree, it'll be nice to see artwork of Catria that doesn't have her posed in such a way as her Heroes artwork. If Julianne is brought back as Catria, maybe she'll give the character a slightly younger voice. That being said, it's not uncommon for some older people to sound younger and some younger people to sound older in real life.

    Honestly, there have been times where I've mistaken Bryce's roles for Vic's roles and vice versa. There are times where they both sound a like. I forgot that Travis Willingham was Camus in Heroes. It would make sense that they get him back. Perhaps if they manage to get him, they could get Laura Bailey since the two of them are married.
  19. Kaze
    I know that it almost certainly wouldn't happen, which is why it was a half-hope that it would happen.

    Julianne Alexander a.k.a. Conner Kelley voiced Felicia and Setsuna in Fates.

    I was half-expecting/half-hoping for a dual remake of FE6 and FE7 as a single game, but we got Shadows of Valentia instead. I'm happy since it bodes well for us getting remakes of the remaining three Japan-exclusive games (not counting FE12)
  22. Kaze
    ....Valbar sounds very familiar, but I can quite figure out why... Boey kind of sounds like Sam Riegel?
  23. Kaze
    Oh, I wasn't basing it on clips from the trailers or PAX East videos. I was just basing it on past characters that Vic has voiced. You do have a point there. I suppose I'm just used to people noticing the memes in the localization version of the games and not also the Japanese version.
  24. Kaze
    In all honesty, every game suffers from some localization problems. There's just no way to avoid that since you're translating a game from Japanese to English and you have to localize it for the intended audience. Whether people like it or not, some things will be lost in the localization process regardless of how faithful it may be to the Japanese version.
  25. Kaze
    Yeah. I'm not a fan of memes in general, but I could look past a few meme references here and there, but after a while, I feel like they got too over zealous with referencing memes. I am quite excited for this game, though. Overall presentation looks beautiful.
