Jotari Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 Would you like to see something like Akaneia Saga return? Imagine a download service where you download a modified version of Awakening's game engine and play a unique DLC every month, different from the Awakening DLCs by giving you a new team each chapter and fleshing out scenes from across the series. Imagine playing as Greil escaping Daein or Elbert's first encounter with Nergal. Of course there is plenty of fodder with all the legendary heroes from the backstory too. Would you support this idea and do you have any particular events you would like to playthrough but have been limited due to gameplay?

sirmola Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 I actualy like that idea. Lots of stuff in FE4 was glossed over due to the large scale (ie: what exactly happened in the yied shrine) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJWalker Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 Oh hell yes. A collection of 3-4 bonus chapters for each game in the series. Sounds awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loki Laufeyson Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 If there were campaigns you could buy for hella cheap on like the eShop, that would be hella cool. Especially if they use various FE cast members in them. Fire Emblem Mini: Eliwood's Ride To Bern or Fire Emblem Mini: The Radiant Hero (which would be a 5 chapter mini campaign featuring Priam) all independent from say, Awakening. SHIT YEAH SIGN ME UP!

Jotari Posted April 30, 2014 Author Share Posted April 30, 2014 I actualy like that idea. Lots of stuff in FE4 was glossed over due to the large scale (ie: what exactly happened in the yied shrine) Hell the entire campaign in Isaac is glossed over. FE4 is the game where the protagonist isn't involved with huge war that breaks the peace. He's accidentally conquering half the world on the other side of the continent. I can't even remember if Prince Kurth even appears in the game due to all the stuff involving him happening away from Sigurd. FE4 would be a gold mine for this idea (and just imagine a reality where it happened and the translated mini campaigns were a gateway to an official release).

PKL Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 IS needs to do this. It would help expand the worlds of every FE more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJWalker Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 They managed to make a whole game out of sidestory to FE4. Surely they can manage a whole game out of multiple sidestories from across all the games? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rehab Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 (edited) I'd love it, as long as the bits you can buy are self-contained enough that not buying a sidestory wouldn't be overtly detrimental to one's enjoyment of a main story. Though I guess that's kinda subjective.. Basically, it'd be nice if something like it could do its best to avoid making me wonder whether I'm being nickeled&dimed. Not sure exactly how it could be sure to do that, off the top of my head, though. Edited April 30, 2014 by Rehab Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure exactly how it could be sure to do that, off the top of my head, though. The idea that I'm kind of going with are side stories to the preexisting games. So not buying the side story wouldn't detract from the games since they were fully completed games made years ago. It would only serve to enhance the lure and enjoyment without being necessary to even play the original game. Another thing I would like to ask, if this were to happen, would you like to see one universal gameplay system that takes standards from all Fire Emblem games, or would you like to see the gameplay formula of the older games emmulated for the mini campagins. That is to say playing the gameboy versions you wouldn't have skills or playing the Geoalogy of Holy War versions would have set weapon ranks etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sirmola Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 I can't even remember if Prince Kurth even appears in the game due to all the stuff involving him happening away from Sigurd. His sprite is shown in the opening cutscene. That's it. He appears in the manga though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jotari Posted May 3, 2014 Author Share Posted May 3, 2014 (edited) Am I allowed to bump this? I'd love to hear more people's opinions on it Particularly ideas for what we could see. Already I've decided to replay FE4 because of this topic. Edited May 3, 2014 by Jotari Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldrick Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 It's less than a month old, so I think it's alright. Story-wise it could provide some interesting character development and interactions. Gameplay-issue it could allow for some precise and clever chapter design with your unit's stats and equipment being fixed, but in terms of interesting objectives, enemy formation and behaviour it doesn't offer anything a full campaign can't do.

rexcalibur Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 I think it sounds like a great idea. Perhaps they could also remake the games the side stories were in and use them as a way to give boosts to the characters sort of like POR transfering data to RD as well.
