BrightBow Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 Well, it's probaby a valid concern to wonder how many blue-haired, sword fighting Fire Emblem lords could be in Smash Bros before it looks silly. Plus, the series doesn't give many ideas for moves and special attacks. Also I don't really get the complaints about the hats. Fire Emblem mages always had such hats. That's really nothing new. Maybe FE10 didn't use them but they are everywhere else. What I'm worried about is the voice-acting. Regardless of whether one likes this style or not (Personally I think the series isn't isn't over the top enough to work, but whatever), there is a good chance it gets messed up during localization.

[spoiler=Not really...] Looking through the site, these mages don't have hats: Merric Linde Elleran Azel Levin Tiltyu Arthur/Amid Tinny/Linda Asvel Olwen Salem Homer Eyrios Miranda Lugh Ray Sophia Hugh Erk Lucius Canas Pent Nino Renault Artur Lute Saleh Ewan This is excluding Tellius since you mentioned FE10, and that's still the grand majority of mages.

Caladbolg Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 Most of them had hats on their battle sprites... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrightBow Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 The hats goes most of the time off after promotion, but mages are usually always displayed with hats. Mages in PoR also had those hats unless they were using a special model. So Tormod wears one but not Soren. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrightBow Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 Those aren't really hats, they're more like hoods. That's true but ultimately it comes down to "silly thing on the head". And I don't think that a more traditional witch hat looks less fitting then what we got already But in retro-respect my post was kind of redundant anyway. I got the impression that there were a lot more complaints about the hats when I first read trough the thread but now that I went through it again, that impression doesn't seem to stand the test of reality.

Book of Ereshkigal Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 I don't mind the hats myself. I have a few issues with some designs here and there, but that happens in most games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think except Linde, every FE1 magic user who starts as a class that can use tomes has a hat. Though Linde has a hairband so I guess that can count too.

geozeldadude Posted March 19, 2012 Author Share Posted March 19, 2012 just to throw my 2 cents in, imo there's a world of difference between a generic witch's hat and the hoods that have been in the series up until now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree. Hoods are sort of generic. A witch hat is, well, just that. It comes along with whatever being a witch implies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Titamon Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 The mages in this game remind of Black Mage job from FF3 DS Honestly I liked the hoods better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mai Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 (edited) We've only seen two mages wear them (Rihito and Miriel, I think?) and IIRC they're both from Iris, so maybe it's an Iris thing. The goth-looking girl (Saria?) is a mage too, but she isn't wearing a hat. Anyway, I disliked some character designs at first (Liz's and Soiree's, mostly), but they're growing on me. Lack of Anima triangle sucks, I guess. Edited March 19, 2012 by mai Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dondon151 Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 I don't know about that, but the enemy stats listed on this site give similar numbers for FE8 and FE7 enemies: In NM, for promoted enemies below a certain level (I think it was 3, inclusive), they're not leveled up in the same way as promoted enemies in the rest of the series, so their stats were essentially their base stats. Which are pretty low. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which are pretty low. Yeah, that's what I remember hearing about. But if it's so limited in relevance, it sounds like it's not such a big issue. Which is good to hear.
