The DanMan Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 No, please no more shitty armor and battle panties. He made the atrocities that are Toiler Cavaliers, Easy Access Generals/Paladins/etc., Awakening Heroes, Awakening Generals, Garous, Fates Fighters (BOTH GENDERS), Awakening Falcoknights, Awakening Sorcerers (BOTH GENDERS again), and I could probably say more. He also made some really cool and badass designs but... The bad outweights the good, for me. And while we're at it: I'd get a new artist too. I want the dude who drew DLC Roy as the next FE artist. I was personally pretty neutral on Awakening heroes. As for generals, they do line up pretty well with past portrayals; it's how the armor behaves like skin-tight lycra instead of solid metal that I find weird and off-putting. As for Garous... they look okay to me? Fujisaka's art would be lot more dark and detailed than anything else in the series. For example: However, he's also done his fair share of fanservicey designs (Zero from Drakengard 3/Syrenne from The Last Story), but that could be cured with better art direction.

Fire Emblem Fan Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 I want the dude who drew DLC Roy as the next FE artist. I second this. Roy's DLC art is fantastic, and I love The Last Story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anacybele Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 Well, if not Senri Kita, whoever did Ephraim's DLC art. That was absolutely fantastic, and the best DLC art by far, imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yassss, Zael <3 Damn, a FE game with the visuals from Last Story? Yes, pls. Maybe another Asthar for me to fangirl? I'm actually kinda okay with Syrenne's design because it's "just" her armour and the guys are just as naked with it as she is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jave Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 I still want Kinu Nishimura as a character designer for a Fire Emblem game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anacybele Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 (edited) No thanks, that looks waaay too shiny. She looks like she's made of glass. Edited December 22, 2015 by Anacybele Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sunwoo Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 I think whoever does Etrian Odyssey's artwork would be cool. Admittedly, there are certain class designs that "work" better than others (the imperials and the landsknechts from EO4, the shoguns from EO3, among others) and a few that are not as good (a few of the portraits are too cartoony and moe) but in general EO artwork adapted for an FE style would be cool.

Magical Glace Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 If he's the guy responsible for abominations like Tharja or Camilla he can go and stay go, then be replaced with the art crew from anywhere between 6 and 10. If it's misblaming then whatever I just want designs like Tharja/Camilla GONE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solrocknroll Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 why would anyone want the team from GBA and Tellius back I prefer fanservice designs over the boring mass of the GBA games especially since FE15 or something around that time will probably get new artists anyway as par the course for the series Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Together We Ride Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 Even if the GBA designs were actually "boring" as you claim they are, they're still much, much better than designs like Tharja, Camilla, any Dark Mage in Fates, Charlotte, etc. imo. I'd go as far as saying I'd actually prefer even the in-battle sprites of the GBA games over the 3DS era designs as a whole. Plus, I hate what Kusakihara's designs have done for FE's image for those who haven't played the series. I'd rather hear "Is Marth/Roy/Ike in this?" again over "Is this that medieval waifu simulator?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NekoKnight Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 I was going to say "Hire the guy who did Katarina's DLC artwork!" but sure enough, when I looked up the artist, it was Kozaki. We need more Grandmaster style outfits and less Sorcerer outfits. I was personally pretty neutral on Awakening heroes. As for generals, they do line up pretty well with past portrayals; it's how the armor behaves like skin-tight lycra instead of solid metal that I find weird and off-putting. As for Garous... they look okay to me? The generals from the GBA era onward had angular shoulder plates that were disconnected (the early ones were more rounded). Awakening Generals have a single shoulder piece that's rounded and enormous, making it resemble a turtle shell your character's head awkwardly pokes out of. As for Awakening hero's, they feel too sci-fi to me. The way all the plates connect together, and especially the guard around the neck looks really out of place in a low fantasy setting.

Fire Emblem Fan Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 I still want Kinu Nishimura as a character designer for a Fire Emblem game. Ooh yeah, I liked the Est art a lot too! I'd be down for that guy to do the art for the next game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrimeanRoyalKnight Posted December 26, 2015 Share Posted December 26, 2015 ugh please peoplegive us the character designer of xenoblade chroniclesgive us the world designers toomake the series fireblade awakening That's impossible though, the people who worked on Xenoblade are part of Monolith Soft. It would happen only with a crossover. But that said, they are amazing and seeing a game with FE gameplay and Monolith Soft. art direction would be beautiful. MAKE THE SERIES BATEN EMBLEM! I was personally pretty neutral on Awakening heroes. As for generals, they do line up pretty well with past portrayals; it's how the armor behaves like skin-tight lycra instead of solid metal that I find weird and off-putting. As for Garous... they look okay to me? Fujisaka's art would be lot more dark and detailed than anything else in the series. For example: [removed for space] However, he's also done his fair share of fanservicey designs (Zero from Drakengard 3/Syrenne from The Last Story), but that could be cured with better art direction. Well all the designs I mentioned look ugly to me, therefore it's all my personal opinion. Most armor in Awakening is very ugly to me, because I prefer more realistic looking or realistic inspired armor instead of things that look weird for the sake of looking cool. I'm very okay with Fujisaka's work, I'm also ok with sexy designs, as long as they are not on physical units (except fighters, barbarians and their promotions, because they have to show off muscle). For example, I like Black Mages in Awakening, and I like both them and Sorcerer in Fates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeMine96 Posted December 27, 2015 Share Posted December 27, 2015 I don't have anything against him. I love the Awakening/Fates designs but I still miss the older designs. I personally love the art in Tellius games, it's just awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shin Posted December 27, 2015 Share Posted December 27, 2015 I personally liked the gritty minimalism of Jungdral. Awakening was short a few too many pairs of trousers for my liking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
