Sentinel07 Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 I find it surprising to see some trashing the Fates name. I seem to recall people thinking the the "if" subtitle was stupid when it was announced, and now it's suddenly being defended. We got used to "if", and we'll get used to Fates. Also, to the people who think Fates sounds generic, Awakening isn't any less generic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, to the people who think Fates sounds generic, Awakening isn't any less generic. I think it's because "fate" is an overused word that gets thrown around way too often in the dialogue of an FE game, especially in the last game that we had. Whereas "Awakening" is a reference to an important plot-related event and doesn't have that same triteness to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phoenix Wright Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 Why would you insult Renka? Are you deaf? you know, after listening to it again, the japanese one ain't bad lol. and to be specific, it's not the singing that i dislike (in either version), it's the flow of the english song i don't like. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aquakat Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 idk, I like the fates subtitle. After all, you're picking the fate of the main character, and ultimately the fates of the two nations, depending on what version you play (and possibly with other choices, but who knows on that one).

I think the English phrase has the same meaning. It's just not very obvious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NB8 Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 Aqua's singing voice scared me to death lol, I was expecting that she would sing in Japanese, it took me a few seconds to realize that was in English XDD I thought she was possessed or something.I also thought that Lol.Don't misunderstand me, I don't think it's horrible ... just ... I was surprise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nordopolica Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 I don't know. I think the English phrase has the same meaning. It's just not very obvious. In English it sounds like she's dying and doesn't want you to grieve. In Japanese it sounds like you're in a fight with Marx or something and Elise is on the sidelines wanting you to stop, like a child who doesn't want her parents to fight. In this case, the "be at peace" could literally be peace between the nations or characters in the scene rather than mental peace like the English implies.

NB8 Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 Fire Emblem Fates? I do not know... looks like a pretty generic title. I thought they were going to give us a symbolic title... something like "Fire Emblem Qualm". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NB8 Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 Fire Emblem Fates: Birthright & Conquest? Nintendo... Why... Just Why... Why they call it that? Seriously? Nintendo you've a long list of creative names for this game... But you've decided to go for the generic way instead of creating something special.

Tactician_Joe Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 The first death cutscene has arrived? From Elise none the less. I now have a feeling that by the end of the game I'll be crying. I have a sugesstion based off this for a new title; Fire Emblem: Feels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though, if you actually kill all of your siblings depending on the path, the ending's gonna feel bittersweet no matter what. I'm not sure how I feel about that.

Holy War imo, is much more Arvis no, no marrying your half-sister, what are you doing? ARVIS STOP. Never really got attached to Sigurd and co, felt worse for the people then their firey, fire-haired lord. Cause Arvis is an unlikeable incesteous scumbag. Only one way to feel about felling your family; maximum feels and manly tears. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the other hand, the first impression that come to my mind on Holy War is always "Oh that one FE game where you can have two men banging their sisters.".

Ryo Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 I don't think it's Elise's death scene, it's too good to be true. They obviously wanted to make us think that way of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This ain't Monolith Soft where all the marketing material is basically one giant Red herring for their past games (don't know how Xeno X is like). IS is pretty straight forward, though Fates might be a tad different with the different writer and there ARE "contrivances". Its just pretty hard to imagine all the family members getting out of this awful situation alive. in before sonic comes in at elise's death scene and kisses her... I will name my character Mephiles for that line, fits perfectly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But what if that's what they want you to think? So that we believe you and are completely unprepared for her death. Don't let them get to your head! MEDIC!
