Ottservia Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 (edited) So I recently finished a rewatch of madoka magica and I was wondering what an FE game written by Gen Urobuchi would be like cause why not(I mean I know it’ll never happen but still it’s fun to think about). I mean if people want a darker FE story he’d definitely be the guy to pull it off. But yeah what do you guys think? What would an FE story written by him be like? For those who don’t know Gen Urobuchi is best known for his works like Madoka Magica, Fate/Zero, and psycho pass. All very dark shows that tackle themes of identity, despair, grief, and the duel nature of hope and despair.

Codename Shrimp Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 You will get FE4 gen1, but stretched out to fill a full game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flere210 Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 The butcher haven't done anything decent in the latest year. A fire emblem directed by Narita on the other hand(not that he is ever going to finish a work...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strullemia Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 (edited) As a writer the stuff he writes is just too dark and unfitting for a FE game. He has even written a VN that is darker than the anime you mentioned, the VN being Saya No Uta. Edited March 9, 2020 by Strullemia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MyLuckyHaiku Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 I'd play it. I've actually thought about this before because I love "what if" scenarios and alternate universes. 3 hours ago, Hekselka said: As a writer the stuff he writes is just too dark and unfitting for a FE game. I'm sure he could make it work. Seeing as how popular "dark fantasy" genres are, such as Berserk and the less dark and more modern Dnd inspired Goblin Slayer. Plus video games and other media always have that one black sheep that doesn't fit in. Perhaps this theoretical Gen-written FE could be a spin-off?

Gonna have to find a better-suited writer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord knows I would love to see his take on Forneus’s story or a story set in Lucina’s future. Those types of settings would play to his strengths Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since I've never played Awakening I don't know much about Lucina's future, but him writing about Forneus would be pretty cool. I mean who doesn't love Forneus?

I mean who doesn't love Forneus? Lucina's future is essentially a zombie apocalypse where death and destruction are a daily occurrence. Oh what that man would do with Lucina's character. It would be an emotionally soul sucking tragedy of an experience but dear lord I would absolutely love it. Lucina and Homura are actually kind of similar now that I think about it except that Lucina isn't a yandere lesbian but eh(Homura did nothing wrong).

If not someone can write it Back on topic. I feel like if Gen Urobuchi was the writer for an FE game/spinoff, there's so much he could do and there's a lot of potential. Especially considering how much tragedy and story deaths some games have. Edited May 20, 2019 by MyLuckyHaiku Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
