RotomGuy Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 In another leaked page, we see Validar confronting Chrom and Robin. Much like Ganondorf, Zant and Ghirahim, I imagine he'll be Awakening's playable villain representative. In addition, we saw Class Change information as well as the character sprites on maps that might be Colisseum Mode. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anacybele Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 Ugh, I was hoping for Gangrel. I seriously dislike Validar. -_- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The DanMan Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 What I do like is that this seems to suggest the Twins can actually class change and gain different weapons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VincentASM Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 Cute, the Validar screenshot is from History Mode, which appears to be a retelling of the original storylines. They will be fully voiced just like Story Mode. It's hard to tell, but it looks to be... traditional Fire Emblem gameplay? It says there are "battles", but I dunno if it means FE battles or Warrior battles. I'm assuming it's a bit like that mode in Hyrule Warriors with a Zelda-esque map.

Torii Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 (edited) I went through the article and translated everything as quickly as I could for you guys. I can read most of it, a few characters are a bit blurry, but I think I got almost everything. Give me a sec to go back through and see if I missed anything. Pretty interesting stuff :) -When you promote you can get new skills and your stats increase. Characters might also get new weapons (Rowan has a lance in the picture) -Rowan promotes to Master Lord and can be seen holding a lance -Teasing master proofs by saying “Wonder if you’ll be able to get them (master proofs) on the battlefield?” -You will need materials to get new skills (for example, for Luna you need Chrom’s Leather Belt) -Materials are dropped by defeating characters on the battlefield -The better the skills, the more rare materials you’ll need -Up to three skills can be equipped -Skills are normally limited to each character, but if characters increase their bonds, they can get skills from other characters -Badges make a return (similar to Hyrule Warriors) -Badges change with each character -Like skills, you need materials to unlock badges -Validar is confirmed -History Mode confirmed —> Seems to be based on the original games -In History Mode, you control characters on a 2D map -If a unit meets an enemy unit on the 2D map, a Warriors-style battle will initiate and you’ll have to complete certain conditions -Bosses will appear in History Mode -There will be conversations and full voices in History Mode, just like in Story Mode -There is a Shadow Dragon map in the bottom left if someone can recognize it Edited September 5, 2017 by Torii Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VincentASM Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 @Torii Thanks a bunch! This is a bit on the trivia side, but for those not aware, "badge" and "emblem" are synonymous in Japanese (in this case, anyway). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You spend materials you get from battle and buy badges which permanently power-up your character. For example, in HW you could use them to extend your combos, get more awakening meter, do more damage against shielding enemies, etc. 15 minutes ago, Motendra said: Wait a sec.... now that you mention it, it looks a lot like....

I never finished Shadow Dragon and on top of that I played it when it first came out so long ago so I don't remember much haha 16 minutes ago, Anacybele said: So we're just replaying Awakening, Fates, and SD in this mode.

I mean, I don't expect it to be as awesome as HW's adventure mode was, since it's hard to top that, but I'd like it to at least be decent enough to keep players busy awhile.

Etrurian emperor Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 History modes sounds pretty interesting. Maybe that's going to be the adventure mode of this game. But Validar remains just odd. Well, at least we can no longer complain how predictable the characters choices are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMinairo Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 Now that Validar and possibly Gharnef are in, Tharja's chances doesn't look so good anymore, even with her popularity. It also would explain the lack of darkness in Leo's moveset. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it did nothing to stop them from later giving Midna a second and very different form and moveset also Darkness-based. On top of adding Wizzro and Cia and even later Skull Kid. Magic is so easy to contort and make new movesets out of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tolvir Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 Finally, we are actually getting the game's actual mechanics and game modes revealed. Been waiting on this for a while. History mode sounds like a lot of fun, can't wait to play through that. Class changing sounds cool, I am curious if it's just promotions or if there is reclsssing involved too. If I remember correctly they did reference reclassing a while back. I am curious what Colliseum mode is, it wasn't fully revealed yet right?

Magic is so easy to contort and make new movesets out of. They had different weapons though, here we are talking about mages, there is a limited number of dark tomes, and in this game, Koei has shown a tendency to "re-use" some parts of movesets, it wouldn't be the first pair of character that have mostly the same attacks.

Dragonage2ftw Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 I'd like to say that this doesn't confirm that he's playable. KT has a history of making models for villains, and then slapping a generic boss moveset on them, with some variations. For example, Arlong has a souped-up version of the generic Fishmen Captain moveset. Also, that's the best Gangrel model I've ever seen in my life.

Azure Sen Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 (edited) Not gonna lie, Validar being in is a pretty big disappointment, even as an NPC. I really didn't expect the worst villain of Awakening to be in, especially when he doesn't fit the criteria at all--his only character relationship is Robin, his plot importance is non-existent, and no one seems to actually like him. 20 minutes ago, Sbuscoz said: Now that Validar and possibly Gharnef are in, Tharja's chances doesn't look so good anymore, even with her popularity. Validar and possibly Gharnef being in doesn't do anything to Tharja's chances. If having a similar moveset was a detriment to a character's chances, we wouldn't have a good chunk of the current roster. 20 minutes ago, Sbuscoz said: It also would explain the lack of darkness in Leo's moveset. I think Leo not being associated with darkness or dark magic at all would be a better explanation for that.

Lau Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 This is all very exciting stuff! Validar's an ass, but there's so much untapped potential, we might be able to see it this time! Also...potential Robin and Validar support? Hmmhmmm. History mode sounds really fun, but it's still too early to judge. I never really got into the whole material and badge thing in HW, so hopefully I will this time. Still, can't wait for this game! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
