Dark Holy Elf Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 Most of what I've read makes me think I'll prefer Nohr, so I'll probably play as them first. Mostly I just dig the idea of reforming a corrupt nation from within far more than the "you as good guy country must fight the bad guy country" which Fire Emblem has already trotted out far too many times anyway. That I prefer Nohr's character designs (minus the little sister character), black colour scheme, and the fact that it sounds like a more tightly-bound linear experience is just a bonus. Obviously I intend to play all available routes, though. I'm much too big a fan of these games to consider not doing so, unless this game drops the ball in a way I can't even begin to anticipate.

Nohr is secretly a first person shooter with mandatory stealth sections and hacking mini games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thor Odinson Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 (edited) Ryouma and Tsubaki are like the biggest reasons for me to go Hoshido first haha ngl from what it looks like though Nohr does have most of my favored classes but classes don't beat (currently visual) favorite character But really I just want my Nohr family and Hoshido family to get along, get married, settle down peacefully Then I take the combined armies and conquer the continent This is Walhart's origin story, dlc3?

Crysta Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 (edited) Nohr. Not for the titties or because evil is edgier and cooler - but because I think it's the disguised "best route for everyone". I normally do good guy playthroughs on my first runs through non-linear games, but reforming the evil nation is far more effective in achieving long-term peace than simply beating them off and killing them each time they inevitably step out of line. Because, ya' know, they remain controlled by assholes and you've given them every reason to despise you by killing their people, justified or not. Peace-loving Hoshido can't do it... BUT I CAN, now that I have in-roads into the royal family. I'll kill "daddy" and take over. Edited April 11, 2015 by Crysta Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carnation Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 Team Nohr! The Direct made Nohr sound more intriguing, so I'm quite confident it'll be my first choice. I'm planning on playing all the GBA era Fire Emblems before If comes out, so by then I might want something other than the "traditional Fire Emblem experience". The only thing I'm a bit worried about is the promised challenge. I'm not that good at these games, but it's not a deal breaker. If I had to pick based on the character designs we've seen so far, I would absolutely side with Hoshido, I just love their designs and color schemes. At least Nohr has Marx, he's very handsome. Would marry if I could. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkStar365 Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 Okay, so the majority of people are choosing Nohr because it'll have a different story approach than the cookie cutter defend against invaders, and that because of this the difficulty will be more intense. Or, you know, the purple haired girl. Everyone loves her. Not sure why though... hmm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 Nohr. Not for the titties or because evil is edgier and cooler - but because I think it's the disguised "best route for everyone". The "best route for everyone" is probably the 3rd path DLC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crysta Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 The "best route for everyone" is probably the 3rd path DLC. Sitting on the fence isn't necessarily the best strategy in preventing conflict, so I'm not so sure about that. I think the third path is likely to be gimped on unique content, too.

BrandedRogue Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 How could you not? cuz they seem to make armor out of rubber, instead of some kind of metal ;P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wayward Alchemist Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 cuz they seem to make armor out of rubber, instead of some kind of metal ;P No mere metal can contain the power of her titties! Nohr today. Nohr tomorrow. Nohr always. I like the characters, setting, titties, and difficulty much better. I also like the storyline to be about revolutionizing Nohr.

Kirie Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 I think it's a bit too soon for me to say for sure which side I'll like better. I plan on buying and playing through both (/ all 3). I do think, though, that based on what we know so far, I'm more intrigued for the Nohr side, mostly for the storyline difference from your typical FE plot, though I'll probably start with Hoshido because I like to start easier and work my way up througo the difficulties.

blah the Prussian Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WnAvNdVyJB0 Pretty much Nohr's theme song. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrimsonRaven Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 It really doesnt matter to me which side because I know I'll eventually buy both and then the third side. I feel like i'm the only one not enamored by titty-chan, yeah shes good looking but meh Prolly start with Nohr though since its story line is (hopefully) different from previous games. Hoshido is the same old same old. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blah the Prussian Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 I'm not enamored with Titty Chan. Then again, I'm not enamored by a lot of people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dandy Druid Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 If anyone has read Fiela's Child by Dalene Matthee, you would know why I side with Nohr. Nature vs. Nurture? I pick Nurture in this case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRTJR Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 "Conquering the world on horseback is easy; it is dismounting and governing that is hard." Genghis Khan I hope that Nohr shows that. The Conquest of Hoshido should not eat up too much of the nohr side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coopa Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 If I heard correctly, Hoshido was supposed to be easier, right? Since I want to preserve some level of challenge, I will go with Hoshido first then Nohr. I think it would be better to stream it that way as well, since if you suddenly start curve stomping people left and right near the end of your playthrough, it might take away from the pressure that I liked in these games.If I could only choose one, and there was confirmation on a third faction, I'd go with the third--presumably--mediator faction? If not confirmed, then easily Nohr. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayra Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 I'm tentatively going with Team Nohr but I'm somewhat torn. I generally like "Light" stuff a lot more than "Dark" stuff (For example, angels, valkyries, paladins are the kind of things I like). I like nature and all that jazz. Nohr seems to be an ugly-as-heck place from the town image we've seen and Hoshido is simply gorgeous. Normally, Hoshido would be my easy pick. The thing is, the story setup for Nohr interests me more. As for Nature vs Nurture, I heavily lean toward Nurture. And finally... There's something that just rubs me the wrong way about Ryouma. It's just based on a 2 minutes trailer so it's obviously just a knee-jerk reaction, but I get the feeling he's not genuine at all. Marx on the other hand looks like he really cares about Kamui. I usually don't self-project myself in my games, but I feel I'd genuinely feel bad about picking the "Betray Marx" option... Although I'll obviously still do it at some point in the future after I complete the Nohr campaign, but it'll be the non-canon playthrough :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AsherCrane Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 (edited) So, for all the people who are picking Nohr for Camilla (or whatever her name is), she is basically your sister, right? Even if adopted, if find the idea of marrying my sister a little odd. As far as Hoshido vs Nohr, I'm honestly picking Hoshido more for the fact that their morals seems to be much better, as opposed to any "nature vs nurture" deal.

Nothing based on Feudal Japan can be good! *ignores that Nohr is based on Fuedal Europe* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StairFacts Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 Nohr for life. Or at least for my first playthrough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyea Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 I went with third faction. I wish there was a little more info about what exactly that path entails, but I have faith it will pull from both sides; which I want the most complete path of the game. Although, Hoshido is probably my second choice/first choice if the third path turns out kinda lame. I want ninjas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knight Falchion Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 Nohr has the medieval European aesthetic that I love and is supposed to be more difficult. It will definitely be the first one I play, though I can not definitively say if it will actually be my favorite. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WnAvNdVyJB0 Pretty much Nohr's theme song. I am now even more sold on Nohr than I was before. I will loop the entire Carolus Rex album as I play it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
