Sentinel07 Posted September 22, 2022 Share Posted September 22, 2022 Critical animations seem very Echoes-like, which I'm glad for. Always though Echoes had a good balance for the animations being good without being too over the top. That was something I wasn't a fan of in Fates.

Cysx Posted September 22, 2022 Share Posted September 22, 2022 (edited) Kid's got some good stats on him for a level 4 Mage. 11 Spd and around 10 Magic? That's pretty good. Also that does seem to be a Wind tome down there, happy day! There's something very... Path of Radiance, about that map.

link16hit Posted September 22, 2022 Share Posted September 22, 2022 EXP Mechanic seems to be back, but going down from 100 to 0 instead of 0 to 100. Also I didn't remark, you can wear 1 Weapon + 4 inventory (at start), maybe more when you are advancing in story? crit are smooth, remind me of FE3-FE4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azz Posted September 22, 2022 Share Posted September 22, 2022 I just saw someone point this out on Reddit and I don't know how I didn't notice but there are no more character portraits by the looks of it (Even the tweets revealing the characters are using their models). Obviously the models are much improved (and the text more readable) but it will be odd to have no portraits in the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crubat Posted September 22, 2022 Author Share Posted September 22, 2022 Oh yeah I realized it pretty early, it's really sad as I really like drawn character portraits but it won't sour the experience too much. It'll be missed and I hope this doesn't continue for future games. The models are thankfully much better than how they are in three houses so it's not too bad.

They're not in conversations, but we haven't seen level up screens yet, so they could show up there. On the other hand, the tweets would also be a good place to put them if they existed, but as Crubat says: the models are really well done this time! Higher quality in exchange for some detail seems like a trade that's really paying off so far! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fabulously Olivier Posted September 22, 2022 Share Posted September 22, 2022 Since Fire Emblem really wants to be Persona, it sure is a shame we didn't get Persona style splash portraits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ziegenpeter Posted September 22, 2022 Share Posted September 22, 2022 Why do the characters approach the enemy units in such a winding way? In 3H, the characters took the shortest route towards the enemy unit before combat, but here the characters run along the grid. Also, why do the characters stop before turning? Feels like a clunky downgrade tbh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet theres gonna be an option to change it back though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe that's just another "early build" thing though, I'd like the 3H style back. Just now, Crubat said: If it isn't obvious, it's the player controlling the character.

Azz Posted September 22, 2022 Share Posted September 22, 2022 Yeah I think its just however the unit is being moved by the player and not an actual representation of how it will be like since they are clearly moving very slowly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't let FE YouTubers hear you say that, they'll accuse this of being console FEH again! 14 minutes ago, Azz said: Yeah I think its just however the unit is being moved by the player and not an actual representation of how it will be like since they are clearly moving very slowly. Yeah, I watched the twitter clips again and the characters are clearly moving square by square - especially noticable with the Alear one. But @Ziegenpeter, I agree with others that there's likely a way to turn the animations off for faster movement: it's definitely the sort of thing that'd start to grate on a repeat playthrough or on non-story maps. Speaking of animations, I wonder if the free camera or pause options during battle will return from the 3DS games. I missed those in 3H (I could never get the pause to work reliably). And while no one used it, it'd be nice to have the "to scale" camera view from 3H back too - but again, if anything's getting cut from there that'd likely be first on the list. 13 minutes ago, Crubat said: Oh gosh you're so nice thank you ❤️ Hey, I'm just pointing out what you've already demonstrated! You too, Azz! Edit: One thing I like about the larger battle forecasts and inventory bars is that they'll hopefully be easier to read in handheld mode. I keep forgetting to say that!

I've said it before, but I really liked Echoes' take on battle animations too! With vaguely realistic regular attacks and over the top criticals/ finishers, and that seems to be what we're getting here too. Very nice!

We called it Warriors Mode because it looked like you were controlling your character in a Warriors game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
