Xaos Steel Wing Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 (edited) Underwhelming indeed. So the basic concept of the story is every Fire Emblem ever. Evil dragons... Aside from that, the only new thing we saw was Femui. And that's about it. The lip syncing for the character models also looked kind of off. So we have very little to go on... Was hoping they'd show some gameplay. Edited June 13, 2017 by Xaos Steel Wing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

F!Corrin and M!Robin should have a interesting support given how it's confirmed how Corrin is Robin's past incarnation so make of that as you will with how it could turn out. It is far from confirmed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anacybele Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 (edited) I would've liked to see more gameplay for this, but I thought what we got was cool! It was pretty much what I expected too. Some story stuffs. Still crossing my fingers for an Ike reveal later. <3 EDIT: @Xaos Steel Wing Tellius wasn't about evil dragons... Sacred Stones wasn't either.

Ertrick36 Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 Well, given what I knew of the Direct, I was expecting something short like this. We're probably getting more of an in-depth look at the game at Treehouse. I'd hoped for more than just seeing sword users, but I wasn't expecting them to show more than just the remaining "confirmed" characters. I am moderately surprised they went with female Corrin. I prefer her over male Corrin, though, so this is a plus. I don't think we can expect more character reveals at the Treehouse, but I suppose you never know. Maybe we'll see a major villain. Though aside from maybe Hardin or "Grima", FE isn't really known for its quality villains, so don't hold your breath, folks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quintessence Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 While the trailer was ok I think there were ways to show it off in better ways. However, I do like Chrom and Corrin. It was a pleasant surprise to see F! Corrin there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given how Rhajat's death quote references her being reborn and meeting the avatar again I think that qualifies as confirmed. It's not even being subtle.

Rhajat/Tharja are just overly obsess with the avatar but it's made pretty clear Rhajat's feelings for the avatar were so strong that they managed to bypass time and space and look the two of them are linked into the magical arts and all that shenanigans so it's very likely Rhajat did see a vision of the future. Need I remind you Orochi herself even can see of the future to some extent as she got a forewarning of Mikoto dying at some point? It's a medieval series for crying out loud just like Zelda so reincarnation isn't a impossibility.

It's a midevil series for crying out loud so reincarnation isn't a impossibly. That's not really a medieval thing. Besides, Robin never really manifests any Corrinish traits and does not recognize tharja. If anyone is a reincarnation of Corrin, it would probably be Chrom actually. If you want to believe it, fine, just don't say it's "confirmed." And, yes, both Tharja and her clone are psychos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sentacotus Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 Story is pretty generic but hey its a Warriors game and it wasn't exactly like I got Hyrule Warriors for its enamoring and depth of story telling. I still want to see some gameplay and remain cautiously optimistic about new characters namely my Tellius peeps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean really now we're talking about a series that has magic and the most bs stuff like Valla curse and Blood pacts. Even if you see her as a psycho that means she just made it up as she was dying?

I'm In the end it is never flatly confirmed and most of the cryptic hints can be passed off as the ramblings of a sociopath. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The DanMan Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 You know, I was hoping to find some leaks from the Japanese site before the presentation, but an hour after the fact it still hasn't updated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kahvi Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 And they say smash has too many "animu sword men", ha! This is pretty much what I expected after they announced there'd be mostly Archaneia/Fates characters so I can't really say I'm surprised. They didn't really show any actual gameplay so I'm hopeful it'll be interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maybe Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 (edited) i'm not really interested in this game due to the lack of characters from games I actually like and this trailer didn't really do anything to change that so I'm definitely not gonna be buying this but that aside, was anyone else a little... underwhelmed? by that voice acting? like, matt mercer sounded... decent? he sounded fine as ryoma but chrom I hardly recognized as him. it wasn't awful but it definitely wasn't how I was used to him sounding yuri lowenthal as marth is something I've never been a fan of, but he definitely sounded like he did in heroes. the fact that he had to start a speech with "I AM MARTH" makes me instantly cringe a bit, but he didn't sound particularly bad but then those new characters were.... pretty bad. part of it might stem from the fact that someone had the amazing idea for them to both yell "FATHER NOOOO" one after the other xander also sounded pretty off. it's definitely the same guy who voices him in heroes, but he really didn't sound great here, and I'm generally not a big fan of his voice for xander. he sounds a little hoarse here and I'm not sure if that's intentional or not Edited June 13, 2017 by unique Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roflolxp54 Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 Yawn. Didn't get hyped at all when I watched the reveal. KT not pulling from the series as a whole because of too many sword users... and the revealed characters so far are only sword users!

property of nuvelle Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 It's underwhelming because everything they've shown is something we've seen or things we've already expected. Fates crew was anticipated since the beginning, Chrom was first revealed, Marth and the OCs were in the Famitsu scan. Story also isn't anything new in Fire Emblem. I expected a lot more from the trailer, but I'm sure we'll get more info down the line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair no one actually believed that statement so I don't think they have a reason to stick to it. We all know it was basically an excuse to avoid saying the older characters just aren't as marketable. I'd respect them more if they just said that but I'm not going to blame them for not sticking to a mere excuse.

They have an actual mechanic revolving around it, and yet they've still only shown swordies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lightchao42 Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 Joking aside, I think that we only have sword users thus far because they wanted to get the obvious characters out of the way first, and they all happened to have swords. That said, the trailer didn't have any actual gameplay or contain anything/anyone that wasn't an obvious inclusion, so I hope that it gets some time on the Treehouse livestream.
