Ryo Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 Can anyone who has played the original shed a light on the possible meaning of the new title? I swear the naming convention of the recent games is just getting weirder and weirder... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maybe Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 it's a remake so in a way it's an "echo" of the original i've never finished gaiden so maybe it holds more relevance than that but that seems to be the case Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadow Stalker X Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 General consensus I've been seeing is that it's going to be the naming scheme IS will use when making remakes. Case in point, the Japanese version of the game is called Fire Emblem Echoes: Another Hero-King. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melissa Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 Echoes Act 3 I bet it has something to do with the fact that it's a remake, either that or something that happens in the story Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knight Falchion Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 I don't remember echoes having any significance in Gaiden, so I think it's as others have said- it's indicative of it being a remake and may be used in the titles of future remakes.

Melissa Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 @Knight Falchion Maybe this is a new beginning for Fire Emblem a la Gran Turismo Sport. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pretty Cool Guy Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 On the Japanese box art Echoes is in English along with the Fire Emblem title itself so I'm pretty sure it's a naming scheme for a sub-series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corrobin Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 Can't wait to see if this is proven right with Fire Emblem Echoes: Defenders of Judgral or Fire Emblem Echoes: Warriors of Elibe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonMendez Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 Mountain Bandit Galore The only thing that comes to mind is that mountain where you fight the witches. Maybe they play a larger role in the story since it's reworked from the ground up. That or echoes references the other Hero King, Marth, something which Alm will become.

BANRYU Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 (edited) 25 minutes ago, unique said: it's a remake so in a way it's an "echo" of the original ^ This, basically. The simplest answer is usually the best one, as they say. The notion that other FE games might be getting remade for western releases as well is an interesting and promising idea, though. Gaiden is probably the game that was most sorely in need of a remake, though personally, when I think a FE game I want remade for the west, I think Genealogy of the Holy War. If the whole 'Echoes' is indeed a subseries thing dedicated to remakes of the games that the west never got, then I'm looking forward to it.

Split the original games and remakes into two series that their respective fans can enjoy! Edited January 20, 2017 by CountessGardy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
X-Naut Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 "Echoes" may be a nod to how it's a side-story to the main Archanea duology that occurs well outside the plot but has some... minor repercussions. The word "Gaiden" literally means "side-story." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geozeldadude Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 i am going to be so psyched if this echoes subseries continues and they finally localize FE4 and FE5! it is a great time to be an FE fan. i just hope they don't overreach and put out so much FE stuff that less-rabid players get burned out.

Suichimo Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 The phrase "echoes of the past" is what I get. I'm with the theory that it is a subseries for the remakes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This annoys me. もうひとり carries the implication that it's to clarify the English word "Echoes" when referring to a secondary person that is as great as Marth. Anything more than that is reading into it. Literally everyone I've seen post about the Japanese name are making assumptions about English titles in Japanese games. The English FE fanbase is looking for... gasping for straws at any evidence that their favorite game will be remade. Look at the 2ch boards. Their excitement about remakes are pretty much localized to the usual. Nothing about "Echoes" title suggesting it. http://itest.2ch.net/test/read.cgi/handygrpg/1484823441/ Edited January 20, 2017 by shadowofchaos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dandy Druid Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 this game has a lot of caves man. They make echoes. Echoes. the people saying it's because it's a remake are probably right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
