I should probably do that when I replay conquest one day because I never learned how good archer mozu was til revelations
Thatās good to hear, but my brother got Conquest and I got birthright, Birthright was amazing and Revelations will give me my Conquest fill anyways because itās the real ending and heared itās the best of course.
I didnāt know there was a direct until my roommate told me, so I was really surprised by everything they revealed today.
Gaiden remake is pretty cool. I havenāt played it but I know its a lot different from most games in the series so I wonāt be expecting too much. I donāt really like mobile games so Iām not expecting much out of heroes, but Iāll give it a try. I think Iāll be skipping Warriors too, Iām not a fan of that series.
What Iām most excited for is the new title for the Switch. I especially want to see if theyāre going to return to a more classic style like the older games had or stay with the new feel of the 3DS games.
Its really kind of weird. Just 6 years ago Fire Emblem was still a niche series in the west, with there being almost no available content and most people only ever knowing about it because of smash bros. Now we have FOUR games to wait on at the same time, including a crossover, a remake, and a mobile game.

From what Iāve heard Gaidenās the game that inspired several of Sacred Stoneās features (traversable world map, monsters as enemies), so Iām excited for that. I enjoy the Warrior games, so thatās also interesting, and then thereās the new main title, thatās of course great news.[quote=āArete, post:184, topic:1842ā]

Either way, Iām going to enjoy it, I canāt even really say which of the two Iād like more. Well, I know one thing: I want to see more ridiculous magic again in terms of graphic.

A few months ago I decided to replay Path of Radiance and Radiant Dawn sequentially. It was great, until I realize that Iām using the same characters from the last playthrough.
The game itself was really enjoyable, but the lack of character interactions in Radiant Dawn is quite unsatisfying (no more support conversations unlike the previous games).
I myself is quite a fire emblem veteran, Iāve completed FE4, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 and still in progress playing FE5 and 12.
Still havenāt played fates and awakening because I havenāt had my hands on 3ds yet.
by mobile game do you mean smartphone / social game? thatās a news for me, Iām going to look forward to it.
After a little research I found out that itās going to be called fire emblem heroes and will be released January 2nd.
I actually donāt really like the traversable world map and fighting monster in tower thing, because itāll become a way to mindlessly grind and train godly character (just put a near invincible tank and unequip the weapon until it reach level 20 with 4/5 stat hitting their cap)

To be fair, we donāt know for sure how the tower grind will be implemented. Weāll have to wait for Nintendo to reveal more about that particular feature. However, I do understand your concern. Looking back on it, Awakening (Lunatic notwithstanding), was made a bit TOO easy since endless grinding opportunities can give units what feels like an unfair advantage in the main campaign. I wonāt lie and say I didnāt appreciate when I was playing through it, however.
Conquest, in spite of how frustrating Iāve found some of the missions. is my ideal Fire Emblem experience. With rare opportunities to obtain experience outside of missions, challenging level design with unique features (like the pots), and enemy AI who wonāt attack heroes they canāt hurt, it feels intense without being unfair (RNGs hasnāt been a BIG problem for me yet, but I guess Iāll have to wait and see on that frontā¦)
That being said, Iām hoping Gaiden is about as difficult as Conquest, if not moreso. From what I know of the older Fire Emblem titles, they tended to be quite difficult, so I have high hopes for this one. Full voice acting and main characters who arenāt self-inserts are both welcome changes from the past two Fire Emblem titles. Iām legitimately excited for the 3D dungeon area.
The mobile game looks awesome, but since I donāt have a mobile device that can support itā¦ Welp. Fire Emblem for the Switch, meanwhile, is going to have lofty expectations set upon it, especially considering the lackluster returns of the previous two home console titles.
My thoughts on Warriors are the same as @Arete. Iāve only played Hyrule Warriors, and if that game is an accurate representation of the franchise, than I doubt Iād invest in anymore. The experience was fun for a while, but since the gameplay lacked variety, the repetitive nature of the gameplay settled in. Even the variety of heroes didnāt help much with this.
Same. What I really want to know is if the pair up system is gonna be in this game. If itās a remake I think it might actually not have it. I actually donāt like pair ups in the new games because youāre kinda forced to do them but I guess weāll just have to wait and see.

Thatās a good point. Itās difficult to say because, on the one hand, I imagine pair-ups are such a cemented part of the formula for the more casual fans that, coming across a game without it might be somewhat upsetting. So maybe to ensure all customers can jump into the game without having to adjust to the lack of a previously established feature. But, as you said, the pair-up mechanic doesnāt exist in Gaiden, so they might exclude it.
I like the pair-up mechanic. I think it adds a new layer of strategy to the game, allowing the player to decide which units work best with each other to more effectively take on an enemy. It also adds a cooperative element to the battles that subtly adds to the comradery the player feels in the playable charactersā relationships. However, I do understand that the lack of any downsides to the pair-up mechanic means at worst, thereās little to no strategic advantage for spreading your units out on the battlefield, since units are often significantly weaker without their comrade backing them up. So, itās definitely a trade-off.
Whatās actually most important about the Gaiden remake is that they donāt repeat the mistake of FE 11 (the FE 1 remake) and include some form of support conversations this time. They have shown that thatās possible for a remake of a game that didnāt origainally have this with FE 12 New Mystery of the Emblem: Heroes of Light and Shadow, so I hope they do it again.

Is anyone here going to play Fire Emblem Heroes? I believe itās coming out on February 2nd. I assume because itās a mobage that it would have some sort of friend system implemented so that it would be beneficial to add each other in game.

Heroes hasnāt been out for long, but Iām having some fun with it. More interesting gameplay than F/GO had at least.
What are everyoneās initial teams looking like? Got any cool heroes?
Personally, I got a few nice heroes. Tiki, Lucina and Felicia are my big 3 right now, with Jagen taking a spot as my only good blue, though far too mobile for the team. I wanna get Setsuna leveled up and unlock her potential, but my current roster is full of adjacency bonuses and they just group up in a ball of death, so Iāll have to make a separate squad that can include an archer. Iām on the hunt for a Palla too. Pretty sure sheās a red, but Iāll have to check.
:komue: I donāt see it on the iOS App store yet. I hope it hits soon, I really want to check it out.
Your Tiki actually walked into my castle earlier and gave me 5 Hero Feathers

I donāt even know what hero feathers do but someone else who Iām friends with did the same. But every subsequent friend did nothing. Maybe you get 5 hero feathers per day for having friends or something? idk thats just my guessā¦
Yay! Iām enjoying it so far. I donāt know a lot of the characters but there is an interesting mix of art styles for the character art.
If anyone wants to add me 
I ended up getting some decent summons. As far as rarity and general attack Roy was a really lucky get, but my favorite so far is Peri. She can move further so even though her attack isnāt as high I have been finding that really useful. Plus she yells ābye bye intestinesā sometimes when she does a special so she also wins on personality points.
Iāve been having a lot of fun so far with this game. My friend whoās never played FE did 4 rerolls and got three 5 stars in a row though -.-
My friend ID is 5012450555 feel free to add me.
Anyone else feel like there is an overwhelmingly large number of redās compared to others. My 5 stars so far have been Lyn (red) Roy (red) Young Tiki (red) Lillian (red) and I finally pulled a Camilla (green) earlier to break the streak,
