FE16 "leaks"

Since we're allowing dubious leaks, here's one that showed up today on gfaqs from someone with seemingly no previous credibility; I'm just kind of having a laugh at it, but I figured it would be appropriate to post.  He claims a trailer is in April for the anniversary. 

  Hide contents

"The setting is inspired by Greek and Roman styles - apparently there's a country inspired by the Persian empire as well. There's lots of ships and ports. I haven't seen much but what I did see was a big focus on white, blue and gold palettes. A necropolis plays an important stage in the game. 

Main character is a girl, Leroria, but she shares the spotlight with her childhood friend. She's got orange hair in a bun and red eyes (no info currently on whether that's important or just a design choice). She's a sword lord; her sword has a magical orange glow on it and what looks like an emerald in the hilt. She's apparently a diviner who gets separated from him early-game.

The guy is called Visu who studies ruins apparently (his concept art shows him with a huge book in hand at all times). Kind of a withdrawn archivist type, who Leroria is always dragging around. He's a mage who wields a new tome that fucks with the motions + time of others; it's a more powerful version of daggers that debuffs enemies after attacking with movement restrictions. Apparently one of his later spells can make enemies straight up miss a turn of action, locking them in place. He's got a ponytail and I think the female fans are going to like him, at least looking at his initial designs. 

Various other scraps that may or may not be right (basically random crap i've picked up or heard whispers of, but aren't confirmed):

-Big cast; Leroria and Visu get to choose their own armies as recruitment is a big theme in the game.
-It was apparently the intent for multiple main characters to die, but I don't know how fully realised this is in-game.
-Last I heard, it's still a 2018 release; they wanted the localisations to be closer together to avoid spoilers
- There are other non-standard tomes/mages in the game like Visu, including a tome that lets you mind control enemies (restriction on boss units, obviously)

That's all you're getting from me for now. Enjoy, or throw rocks, or whatever. Remember to keep an eye out for April's trailer!"

Tfw the leak sounds more exciting than anything they would actually announce, kappa.

Though I was disappointed by the direct, I overcame this and I thought some things. First, as many say the direct focused on spring-summer releases. As far as smash is concerned it is a great addition to the switch's library and could even be used to promonte FE 16 with something simmilar to corrin. Next, I am 90% sure that we will get a small tease before E3 be it in April 20th or in a direct. If this is true then E3 will definitely have a new trailer along with some gameplay. Since I haven't played smash (might try this one out) I don't know how smash schedules its releases but it was showcased in a Spring-Summer direct and scheduled for 2018 so I expect an August-September release (Smash fans correct me if I am wrong) so that leaves FE16 which was shown in that financial 2018 report thing (think it is called like that) for this year. Which leaves the Japan release somewhere near Christmas (not to get it overshadowed by other games + I don't think pokemon is coming this year). Can't say about the rest of the regions, but hey the switch isn't regionlocked soooo.

 

Well, that was a big post.

In that financial report FE switch was listed for 2018 in Japan,USA and Europe so we're probably looking at a worldwide release.

I wish people would stop comparing large boobs to a large package. That's not at all equivalent. Fanservice catering to straight women always either focuses on butt shots or their bare chest if they're shirtless. Just look at how female fans reacted to Grima's damage portrait in Heroes (and how they reacted to Bruno's damage portrait before that). No one wants to see a guy's crotch outside of porn any more than they want to see a girl's. 

My comment was aimed at dreamyboi because he was gay, not the FE base in general.

Ahaha, well I'd figure I'd share it anyways. Sharing ideas about Vampire, Pirate and Greek Emblem is more fun than being sad, lol. I'm trashy because I'm legit sad about Vampire Emblem not being real :-(

Same really. Vampire Emblem sounded really interesting.

I thought this quote from Kaz Miller is fitting for this situation

Gonna take a break from these forums until there's an actual game to talk about, ciao.

Well I don't blame you.I was thinking the same thing for myself after the direct.

What would you guys think about an FE game set in Tamriel?

POI is Skullface and the FE fanbase are the "Emblem Dogs" .

Hellbent on taking revenge for falsely hyping us.

And I also think that the title Phantom Pain really fits.The pain of having to wait with no end in sight.

Fire Emblem X Elder Scrolls?

[TwinBlade]

And what would that be...? A medieval fantasy with dragons and magic combined with... A medieval fantasy with dragons and magic? xD

The only difference would be open world RPG and SRPG... At that point making a open world FE game is basically the same thing as a Elder Scrolls game. It would have to be extremely well done to feel like a different game if the studios were to make a joint effort.

Fire emblem is more anime fantasy, whereas elder scrolls is more western, main point is that if you opened a fire emblem with an decapitation, it would feel incredibly jarring when compared to the rest of the series.

The tone is incredibly different.

Do you know what this sounds like? The Elegy of the Brave idea. The necropolis, multiple main characters dying in the story, the main characters having abilities related to divination and time....

I'm pretty sure this is made up, and they're just trying to build off the Elegy of the Brave theory because it sounded the most realistic out of all of the dubious leaks.

Elder Scrolls only introduced decapitation in Skyrim, and places like Morrowind and Valenwood may translate well into anime fantasy given their exotic nature. And while, yes, it would have a more mature tone, it doesn't mean it can't be cleaned a bit.

I was thinking more an FE game set in the Elder Scrolls universe, with TES elements appearing here and there.

You know what sucks? Give Leroria a lance and the two sound just like the two lords I thought up a while back (I think I posted something about them on a "What Lords would you like" thread a while back). Anyway, I hope these fakes are inspiring some fan games/ hacks at the very least.

I ironically had a hack plot idea involving childhood friends. Very different than all this. Not that I'll probably ever write it. Just a funny coincidence that's not too big of a coincidence.

Interesting to know their "info" about their sources at least, even if as one person replied, no one will probably trust them well for a long time.
