Dinar87 Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 (edited) https://mynintendonews.com/2020/05/21/famitsu-top-five-fire-emblem-games-according-to-japanese-fans/ Looks like Jugdral comes out on top, even 20 years later đ it's a shame to see no path of radiance or radiant dawn, but this is a japanese list and I've heard those two games apparently weren't super popular over there sales wise. Considering IS is listening to fan feedback more and more these days, especially with three houses' changes to the series mechanics compared to previous recent entries, what are your hopes now for the future of the series?I still really want a Path of radiance and radiant dawn remake duo-logy eventually though IS Edited May 21, 2020 by Dinar87 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alastor15243 Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 (edited) What I hope they learn isn't to make FE4 Echoes exactly like Three Houses. I think even people who like that game would agree that the the sheer amount of time part 1 takes is a chore when trying to replay. Imagine having to go through something like White Clouds every time you wanted to try out different pairings in Shadows of Jugdral. Genealogy is already long enough to begin with. I hope they leave the added fluff to a minimum, and don't add in a bunch of tedious optimizing minigames to the castle town, or put hours of minigames/story between the end of one map and the beginning of the next.

Yexin Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 (edited) so can intsys start making more genealogy banners and alts now? on a serious note, i'd like to know what kind of demographics took part in this survey, and how big it was 11 minutes ago, Alastor15243 said: I hope they leave the added fluff to a minimum Echoes is a really faithful and sober remake, so i'm pretty confident they know what they would have to do in order to make a good genealogy remake at the very least, i'm pretty sure they wouldn't be stupid enough to add an avatar Edited May 21, 2020 by Yexin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fire Emblem Fan Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 Aw yeah, I'm super happy to see Blazing Sword scoring so well! Hopefully it means Lyn's Legion and Isadora have a chance to come to Heroes. Not super surprised to see Genealogy at the top spot, though, I was under the impression that it was always pretty popular in Japan. I am a little surprised that Mystery of the Emblem is all the way at #5; I knew it had a following (in Japan and out west), but I didn't know it was that large.

It was the best selling game in the series before Awakening. I was under the impression that it was the darling of the Japanese fanbase to which every other game in the series is measured against.

Zapp Branniglenn Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 It's both impressive and infuriating to hear this series has equivalents to Super Metroid/Super Mario World/A Link to the Past and we still need to emulate them to experience them.

Whitfield1999 Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 I would really just like them to at least just translate FE4 into english and release it on the eshop, like they did with earthbound beginnings. I don't see a reason why they couldn't just do that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acacia Sgt Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 Nice to see Genealogy at the top. When do we expect our "Ribald Tales of the Faith War" remake? Surprised for Mystery's spot, but I suppose it's understandable if the likes of Awakening and Three Houses exist. At least it still made Top Five. 35 minutes ago, Whitfield1999 said: I would really just like them to at least just translate FE4 into english and release it on the eshop, like they did with earthbound beginnings. I don't see a reason why they couldn't just do that. Because Earthbound Beginnings had already been localized long ago. The game almost got released overseas back in the day. It was practically a last-minute decision to cancel it. So it was a simple matter of putting the ready-for-release version in the eShop, after some last few tweaks for accommodation. For Genelaogy, they'd have to do all the work now. Now granted, at this point in time the series could afford it. However, much as I'd be sad to say, we might not see a localized version of the game unless they pull a Trials of Mana, where they're remaking it and choose to throw us a bone by translating the original too.

I remember Treehouse said they have rough English scripts of all JP only games for reference for working on Heroes and in general. Probably would need a bit of touching up but it seems like they have something to go off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably would need a bit of touching up but it seems like they have something to go off. That helps, although it would take more than just translating. There's also localization, inserting the text in the game itself, make the graphical changes where needed, make sure what you change doesn't cause problems, etc. Though like I said, a franchise like FE could afford putting aside the resources for it, since it wouldn't be as much of a workload as making a full game from scratch. Again, however, I think we're not gonna see that unless they pull a Trials. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
đ đđ§đŤđ˘đđĽ Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 considering what they did with Shadow Dragon and Echoes, there's probably way more chances for a remake to happen, rather than an official english version in the e-shop. besides, apparently nowdays there's this new trend in the gaming world of remastering/remaking every possible old title of iconic franchises, so IntSys might as well jump on the nostalgia bandwagon.

Well you can just skip the story if you want to get to gen 2 quicker so added story isn't an issue. The only things I want in an FE4 remake are more character dialogue and the memory prism things from SoV. I don't need anything other than that and nice visuals.

The story of White Clouds is really quite slow to skip, between the mandatory sidequests and the myriad little ways the punish you a little bit in gameplay for each tedious minigame you elect not to do.

As someone who has admittedly been spoiled by the conveniences of modern gaming design choices (as well as having had Awakening be my first FE), I was pleasantly surprised to find that Blazing Blade was an enjoyable experience that has aged incredibly well. The characters, setting, story, and challenging gameplay have such memorable charm that it surpassed Awakening as my favorite FE. I'm glad that there are so many others who feel the same, in Japan as well. Edited May 29, 2020 by twilitfalchion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't find the source anymore, but a chinese translation of the full article listed the top reasons ppl voted FE4 is for introducing marriage and 2nd gen system. Not sure if that's what you meant by fluff since it is quite important in that game, but if IS turn it up to eleven I can imagine fateswakening hater would hate IS even more for ruining their classic.

Nah, by fluff I mean all the stuff that keeps you from being able to just skip the cutscenes between battles if you've already seen it, or the minigames like fishing that hide tiny rewards (that nonetheless add up) behind really time-consuming busywork.
