IceBrand Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 You know, playable and can support units. How do you think that would change things? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZemZem Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 It would make FE8 jump up to be my favorite FE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hamicsat Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 If the avatar units for FE12/13 are any indication, then this hypothetical FE7 avatar would be significantly more powerful than most units, and have absolutely no personality. His dialogue would steal screen time from the original main characters and his supports would be as bland as humanly possible. Obviously, IS could do something different, but since Robin (FE13) and and Mark (FE7) are essentially the same character (to the point that Lyn mistakes Mark for Robin), I highly doubt that. More importantly, it would give Lyn/Tactician shippers more basis to steal Rath's waifu. Overall, I don't think the idea could work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord of Gabriel Knight Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 Self-Insert characters are a complete waste of time in FE story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Djeets Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 then it's canon that robin is mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HF Makalov Fanboy Kai Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 (edited) i wouldn't buy it ok let me reword that, if it had potention infinate grinding like it did in awakening along with waifu stuff. then i wouldn't buy it. if it balanced FE7 greater and only had just theavatar thing without waifu stuff or grinding then maybe i would buy it Edited May 17, 2014 by HF Makalov Fanboy Kai Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
druid777 Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 ... Nah, I don't think that would be a good idea. I don't know, something about having an Avatar character doesn't feel right... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunwoo Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 There was a topic about this quite some time ago. I still maintain it's a horrible idea. FE7 doesn't need a remake just to have a playable avatar. It was good without one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logience Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 You would end up with this: https://www.fanfiction.net/s/3755092/1/The-Fourth-Tale Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DragonLord Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 It would lead to horrible fanfiction, and likely the avatar would end up being broken gameplay wise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ϲharlie Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 (edited) It would make FE8 jump up to be my favorite FE.lol why would that be? The original FE7 would still exist, just like the original FE3 still exists despite having been remade with an avatar. This makes no sense. ok let me reword that, if it had potention infinate grinding like it did in awakening along with waifu stuff. then i wouldn't buy it.Why would you not buy something because of potentially infinite grinding? Grinding has never been mandatory in any of the games where it is an option. Edited May 24, 2014 by Starman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJWalker Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 It would be terrible. Perhaps not as terrible as remaking, say FE4 and forced an Avatar into the story but it would still be pretty bad. FE7 at least has an existing Tactician so the story wouldn't suffer as much by doing something similar to FE12/13. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nonevah Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 Eh, I don't really think it would be that good. If you were going to put the tactician in, maybe make him an actual character, instead of just a Mary Sue/Gary Stu self insert. And as far as actual gameplay goes, I've been thinking about a tactician in a different mold than the powerful combat unit in FE13. Make him a support unit, kind of like the dancers/bards. Instead of having the ability to refresh (2 refreshers breaks the game,) he instead would have a variety of stat buffs to pick to apply, with the supply of bonuses not being limited like with the rings, and perhaps having the buffs apply to all friendly characters in a certain tile radius around him?

General Horace Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 I'd hate it, call it stupid, but then buy it regardless. The remake if it ever comes is likely to have some twist on it anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Refa Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 NOW YOU CAN PLAY THROUGH THE FIRST TEN CHAPTERS AS ELIWOOD AND/OR HECTOR BRILLIANT MAIN STORY LYN MODE IS THE NEW LUNATIC MODE (ALSO ALL OF HER STATS ARE REDUCED TO 0 EXCEPT DEF TO COMPENSATE) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CT075 Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 if they did it like fe12 ("what is plot involvement") i actually wouldn't be super opposed if it was like fe13 fuck that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junk Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 NOW YOU CAN PLAY THROUGH THE FIRST TEN CHAPTERS AS ELIWOOD AND/OR HECTOR BRILLIANT MAIN STORY LYN MODE IS THE NEW LUNATIC MODE (ALSO ALL OF HER STATS ARE REDUCED TO 0 EXCEPT DEF TO COMPENSATE) wouldn't it be attack though? Otherwise lyn would not be able to hit anything and would fail even more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
