  1. My guesses are similar to what others have posted:

    1) Lack of advertising

    2) Too anime; people may mistake it for a turn-based RPG similar to FF. Anime fans are also stereotyped to be weird and nerdy, so prospective players of the game may not want to be categorized with such an unattractive group of gamers.

    3) 1-player game; some people like the social aspects of video games, thus prefer fighting/shooting games

    4) People are still sore from having been beaten by Marth players in SSB. JK :D

    I think with enough advertising, the game will become more popular. Receiving high reviews from acclaimed VG websites and publications have proven to garner attention from many non-FE fans. The demo also worked nicely, too.

    Pretty much agree with this. With proper advertising it should be more mainstream. Other RPG series like Final Fantasy have the benefit of being more entrenched in NA.

  2. [spoiler=How Ike arrived on Valencia/Valm]Ike is explicitly stated to have "come from another world" in FE13. This pretty much spells out that interdimensional travel was involved in Ike's journey from Tellius to Valencia.

    That makes sense then. I hope it's not canon though, the whole Otherworld Gate thing sounds a bit gimmicky to me. Fan service is nice, but I'd rather they not mess with the other games.

  3. I know FE has been a handhold series for quite a few games, but I tend to enjoy consoles a lot more in terms of playing games. I'd love to see Fire Emblem go to the Wii U! If they put the effort in I'm sure the Wii U could have a spectacular FE game. FE10 gets a lot of hate, but I appreciate all the little details they put into that game, it's among my favorites for sure.

    From what I've seen of Awakening so far, the story seems okay. For some reason it doesn't quite captivate me as much as 9/10.

  4. It just seems odd to me that Ike's descendant would even be in this game. Could it be more of a cameo than something that is actually canon? That's how I would prefer to think of it in any case. I believe I saw somewhere that he doesn't actually play a role in the storyline, though I haven't actually played through the game and I don't know all the details. So I could be wrong.

    Could the world around Tellius actually not have all been completely flooded then? xD

  5. Kita. I thought the designs/style of FE 9/10 (especially 10) were really well done. I do like Kozaki's work (Chrom and Lucina especially), but there's something about it that bothers me a bit, can't quite put my finger on it. Also, IMO, the generic classes in Awakening look pretty stupid. Some of those portraits are just like, ehhhh...? And then there's Kallum.

  6. Because having Dracoknights that ride wyverns is far less silly than having Wyvern Riders that... ride wyverns.

    .

    Besides, it's entirely possible to have a Dracoknight that marries Tiki or Nowi or Nn. It would probably make things really awkward if they mounted a dragon while mounting dragons.

    Call it personal preference in a name. Dracoknight also has precedence though.

    I'd prefer Falcoknight > Pegasus Rider too.

    As a side note, it was cool to see Awakening will actually have griffins or falcons, or whatever,

  7. Dude, that's not Raine.

    Welcome~!

    Thanks! :D It's true, but Richter was too awesome to ignore. xD

    @Phoenix: Thank you. ^^ I'm honored to get such a rare welcome. o_o

  8. FE10. It lacked supports, but I enjoyed its story/length, different perspectives, and the skill system. I also really appreciated all the little details of it--the extra animations, the different battle music, sky battles, changing backgrounds, etc. It just had more polish to it. That being said, the balance could be better, but I think it was a damn good attempt. The ending also seemed rushed.

  9. 'Ello Serenesforest!

    This has been my go-to Fire Emblem site for awhile now, I just haven't registered on the forums before. I like FEPlanet too, but it's pretty dead over there. >.>; Anyhoo~let the good times roll!

    My favorite FE is RD (and I actually <3 the Dawn Brigade xD) but I'm totally hyped for Awakening. I like most RPGs/Stratgey in general, but I'm glad I ended up buying Fire Emblem instead of finding whatever the hell I was actually looking for. Um, look forward to posting and whatnot. ^^; So yeah, good to meet you all. And I will take a look at the rules/regulations of the site. ;P

    tl;dr: Hi, nice to meet you. FE is cool.
