Nimue Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 Thanks, everyone! I probably would have spent forever trying to figure out who's who since I'm not familiar with any of the characters at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadow Stalker X Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 12 minutes ago, Kirokan said: I agree that Fire Emblem Echoes may be a sub-series that involves remakes of previous games, considering this one is specifically "Shadows of Valentia" for Gaiden. (The Japanese title is Fire Emblem Echoes: Another Hero King ), so the Echoes is consistent between them. I am pleased with the designs, seeing as they opted for someone who was not Yusuke Kozaki as well. I hope no unnecessary mechanics (children/marriage/etc) are forced into it, it is looking pretty good and the wait is not long for once. Japan gets it April 20th on FE day, while US gets May 17th, followed by EU at May 19th. So much better than what usually happens! FYI, US gets it the 19th as well.

Kirokan Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 Just now, Shadow Stalker X said: FYI, US gets it the 19th as well. Yes, meant to amend that! I don't know where 17th came from xD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PuffPuff Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 Hoping now we get a My Castle for this game, so we can have online teams of the Story One characters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dandy Druid Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 I'm surprised their sticking to the main mechanics of the original. I'm happy it's staying true to its roots. I'm wondering what the side characters will look like and I wonder if there'll be any additions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One that stood out was I recognized Takehito Koyasu, who has played a character in every fully voiced FE game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FranRedStar Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 i wonder how they're gonna deal with the fact that Gaiden had no playable axe users. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raccoon844 Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 Going to be honest, I didn't really expect Gaiden of all games to have the remake treatment. If anything i expected Genealogy of the Holy War to get the remake treatment instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faye Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 (edited) Man, just watched the trailer again. How long has "Celica" been pronounced "seh-li-KAH"? :V I always pronounced it "seh-lee-sa" in my head. Clearly I wasn't paying attention... The official art looks amazing. I almost wish marriage is in this game so I can marry that white-haired mage, he's real cute. Edited January 19, 2017 by Faye Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riariadne Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 Based on the image we see of the monster map here it's almost certain the white haired mage is Bowey seeing as all seven other characters here are easily identifiable as the earliest recruits on Celica's route. A pretty big redesign, but definitely a cool one, seeing as original Gaiden Bowey was pretty boring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leif Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 I noticed that there appeared to be a female villager (the one with long white hair) in the video. Did anyone else notice this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leif Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 (edited) Girl on the far right. With two braids. Also at 5:22. She is named Elfie? Edited January 19, 2017 by Leif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tryhard Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 (edited) I assume he means this on the right, and I have to admit, that stumps me as well. The only characters recruited for Alm by this point would be Alm himself, Luka, Gray, Robin, Cliff and Silk (who's the healer), all of them accounted for (assumedly Luka is the Knight, Gray is the Cavalier, Cliff is the Soldier, Robin is the mercenary? Could be some differences there with Cliff/Robin etc). New character? Edited January 19, 2017 by Tryhard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tolvir Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 (edited) 4 minutes ago, Leif said: Girl on the far right. With two braids. Hmm, with Gaiden's very limited cast that could be anyone really. I imagine they will be adding in a lot of original characters to fill out e cast a bit. I still wonder if that is a possible avatar though. There wasn't any mention of one in the video, but the trailer was really limited in what is being featured anyway. Since most said they want to see the avatar brought back a lot (as in lowered in story importance, a lot), but not exactly removed, they may have done just that. IS has been really good with taking criticism and fixing those exact issues, like pair up and reclass. Edited January 19, 2017 by Tolvir Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leif Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 This is definitely either an Avatar or new character. They'll pull a New Mystery of the Emblem I reckon. I just PRAY that this new character will not waste necessary narrative space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it is an avatar, judging by the fact that they are in the background and we're given no scenes in the trailer other than that one, they probably wouldn't have any importance at all. If it is a new character, probably the same to be honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tryhard Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 I'd imagine it's just a female villager that goes with Alm like Gray, Cliff, Robin, Luka. He does kinda have a sausage party. Someone in the other thread said people spotted their name as "Efi", not sure how true that is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azure Sen Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 It's probably a new character. Both routes in Gaiden have a pretty small number of characters at 16 a piece with a lot of class overlap; even each Fates route has over 25 characters, and that's not counting children.

Tolvir Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 It's what i am thinking too, probably just a new character. It does make me wonder about the fate of avatars for Fire Emblem though, are they gone, or are they there but no longer a main part of the plot? May start a discussion somewhere else on that.

fengaridotdll Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 If the mystery character does turn out to be an avatar, hopefully it's not as painfully shoehorned in as the previous avatars in the series, where basically the entire plots of their respective games revolved around them.

OakTree Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 A Gaiden remake! I am personally very excited! IS would have to be run by unintelligent bacteria to somehow make this remake worse than the original. I apologize to any Gaiden fans i may have offended with this post.
