Hmm, not sure if I like the graphical style of the battles. I mean, if it's too much like FE9/10, they'd be kinda sub-par...

I heard they're going for a more FE4-ish look... but eh, it seems like the battle sprites kinda clash with the backgrounds.

You guys know about the class switch option in this game, right? That allows you to change say...a priest to a cavalier?

Looks pretty bad, IMO. Nowhere near what the DS is capable of and it looks downright lazy. The units don't even react when they're hit.

This class change option intrigues me, though.

I don't recall loving the FE6 system overmuch. I tolerated it because of the limitations of the system and because the static sprites looked fairly good. However, I can't help but cringe whenever a fighter or warrior or anything with an axe attacks and plants the giant blade of steel in someone's skull without so much as a stagger.

FE4 was arguably better and arguably worse. Many of the sprites looked quite frankly bad, but at least there was some variation in footwork and position.

FE9-10 did not have bad graphics because of reaction to being hit. That was one of the few good things about it. It looked bad because FE9 looked bad because it looked like it could have been released at the GC's launch and FE10 looked bad because it looked like it could have been released -on the GC several years ago-.

It's the FE tradition to have bad graphics, seriously. No FE game since 5 has ever come even close to par for the system it's on. (And seriously, there was nearly no improvement at all between FE6 and 8, which is totally inexcusable on every level)

IMO, these graphics are fine. I'm kind of numb to it and mostly uncaring.

That's flawed self-destructive logic, and I'd like to think you know that.

Just because a series is infamous for having consistently bad graphics doesn't mean it should be excused.

I do point out that when one gets hit by a sword as big as Ragnell from a man as big as Ike, the little flinch people do in FE9/10 is rather mismatched. >.>

Since the animations only take a few seconds anyway and the music, at least, is consistently of high quality, I leave them on. Except maybe in FE9/10 when they get longer and crappier.

I do like the portraits, though.

Christ in Heaven. What I’m fighting for is the right to prove I’m a better man than many. Where have you seen this divine spark in operation, Colonel? Where have you noticed this magnificent equality? The Great White Joker in the Sky dooms us all to stupidity or poverty from birth. No two things on the earth are equal or have an equal chance, not a leaf nor a tree. There’s many a man worse than me, and some better, but I don’t think race or country matters a damn.

Pretend I put something witty here.

Eh, from what I played of the Japanese ROMs, the sprites honestly aren't that bad. Sure, they aren't as good as the FE6/7/8 sprites, but they aren't the pile of crap I thought they'd be either. ;>_>

I prefer to think of this as like the AW reboot and it's just because it's so different to what we're used to.

However, I will agree that FE9 and 10's graphics sucked. 9 IMO could've passed for an N64 game, and 10... *shudder*

1478: George Plantagenet, Duke of Clarence, was executed by drowning in a barrel of Malmsey wine at his own request.

Put on your hard hat and head for the highways! From repairing country lanes, to constructing huge motorways your engineering skills will be put to the test in this fascinating simulation.

Lay out the traffic cones and punch through the concrete with your pneumatic drill as your new roadway starts to take shape. All of the tools of the trade are at your disposal including an asphalt planer, steamroller, marking machine and the whole gamut of machinery required to transform a building site into a super smooth motorway. As your skills grow you will be able to embark on a range of diverse missions. Country roads, pothole repairs, lane widening and motorway construction are all in a day's work for the hard hat highway heroes!

Dig for pay dirt and form your own civil engineering company. You will be starting modestly with small wheel loaders but success is in the soil! As your skills and reputation increase grow your business with the purchase of a huge selection of equipment including the heavy road roller!

Get swept up into fighting the flotsam and jetsam of city life with Street Cleaning Simulator! In Street Cleaning Simulator you are the proud owner/operator of a small firm specialising in keeping the town's roads free from all the leaves and dirt that accumulate over time. Visit your office to learn what work the Mayor's office has for you.

Your vehicle is a highly sophisticated street cleaning machine. It's equipped with three highly powered and independently operated brushes. Whose work can be supported by highly powered water jets - which are needed to remove that stubborn street dirt.

You'll be operating on busy streets so you'll have to use your driving skills to avoid pedestrians and other road users. Remember to use your wing mirrors to help prevent crashing your vehicle.
Don't forget to fill up with fuel...and water......and empty out the muck from time to time.

Street Cleaning Simulator features highly detailed vehicles and a wonderfully crafted town for you to explore - and keep clean!

No more waiting on the hard shoulder in Europe to be rescued! Tow Truck Simulator places you in the role of the driver and operator of a rescue truck as you become the hero of the hour and rescue broken down vehicles and attend accidents. Or perhaps you will prefer to take the role of the driver of a dreaded towing truck and tow away illegally parked cars.

There are four models of tow trucks for you to choose from each with a crane and winch to remove every kind of vehicle. You will learn how to handle different cars to get them loaded as quickly as possible!

The large detailed 3D environment allows you to freely explore the roads around you whilst searching for drivers in distress.

FE10 looked pretty okay, actually. At least there was variety in the battle anims, and map sprites didn't look like something the N64 coughed up.

And there was nothing wrong with the GBA graphics...Except that they used them, with little/no changes, for three straight games. First gen GBA graphics for three games over the course of 3 years. That's. Not. Right. Especially since EVERY SINGLE CLASS acted the EXACT same way EVERY SINGLE GAME.

Feeling spritely.

Hey, the sprites didn't change much (though they were improved a little between FE6 and FE8) and the overworld graphics are terrible, but the portraits were still good-looking. And there was a lot of improvement in them between FE6 and FE7, though to me FE8's are too orangey.

Hey guys:

The game looks WAAAAAAAAY better in motion.

Don't knock it until you've played it.

way better, yes

but still mediocre

Mediocrity: The standard for FE graphics ever since FE6.

I quite liked the GBA graphics, actually. I hated the crap graphics in FE9/10 and really wish they tried harder.

FE10 looked pretty okay, actually. At least there was variety in the battle anims, and map sprites didn't look like something the N64 coughed up.

And there was nothing wrong with the GBA graphics...Except that they used them, with little/no changes, for three straight games. First gen GBA graphics for three games over the course of 3 years. That's. Not. Right. Especially since EVERY SINGLE CLASS acted the EXACT same way EVERY SINGLE GAME.

Nononono, FE10 looked terrible, absolutely horrible. I cringed everytime I saw them use those less then mediocre battle map graphics for events like the damn coronation.

Trust me, it wasn't below mediocre, it was mediocre. I've seen far, far worse, in much larger amounts.

I mean the fact that the damn coronation was done using the poopy ingame graphics! They didn't even bother making a cutscene for it and it looked horrible.

And even if some things look worse, that doesn't excuse them at all. Even the Wii can do graphics better then FE10 and it made me cringe inside.

You're justifying FE9/10 looking bad because otherthings have looked worse? Dude, that's like saying the Armenian Genocide was nothing compared to the Holocaust: just because one was worse than the other doesn't mean both weren't horrific!

But anyway, all I'm saying is, if you look at the game as a whole, the graphics are mediocre. Mediocre is not good, but it isn't THE WORST THING I'VE EVER SEEN A STEAMING LOAD OF CRAP.

My point exactly, we shouldn't have to put up with mediocre graphics: they should be excellent. Not good, excellent. Games like Gears of War, Crysis and (for a better comparison to that piece of crap Wii) Super Mario Galaxy show us what we can have on our consoles these days, so why should I be okay with bad graphics on the grounds that it could be worse. But yes, I suppose it could be worse: the game could be entirely in binary after all. Developers like IS get away with lazy development graphically and whenever someone complains, we have to put up with this bull**** about graphics not being important and it not being that bad.

Here's the one stop short bulletin folks: graphics do matter, as much today as they always have and that is exactly the same as every other factor in a game, including gameplay. Stop whining when someone calls a developer out on it.

Graphics don't matter...for an SRPG.

And that's all I'll say on that. If you expect GeoW level graphics out of FE, you're playing the wrong genre.

SRPGs have, historically, had mediocre graphics. Possibly the only standout is SRW, and even then, that's mostly in the battle scenes.

... that is, frankly, stupid reasoning. We shouldn't expect good graphics from an SRPG because it's always been that way? Bull****. They get away with sub-standard graphics because people put up with it.

You're right, I should expect better than Gears from an SRPG. After all, Gears has to run in 60FPS, constant motion and reacting to players every action, with numerous enemies moving all at the same time. Turn based strategy games...not so much.

SRW Map scenes are even more disgusting than FE Map screens.

And you're looking at the map for 40+ hours. It better damn well look good, and it'd be a lot more memorable. Plus I can't take a single scene in an SRPG seriously because it has absolutely no atmosphere.

Agreed with Kim and Sabre, really. There's nothing wrong with thinking that graphics that are bad and should be better in a game that really doesn't have an insane amount of work put into it. I mean, FE is not GeoW. Nor is it SMG.

GeoW is a terrible acronym. Just call it Gears if you're worried about confusion.

Frankly, I'll wait until IS starts beefing up the FE series' gameplay before I start complaining about graphics. It's like complaining that the paint is peeling... on the Titanic.

Ogre Battle 64 will always remain my favorite SRPG (even though it's Real Time). Excellent gameplay, magnificent story (with numerous variations and endings), dramatic music, and...it looked good, whether it was on the map, in battle, or in a cut-scene. I probably should play it again sometime...[/hopeless fan].
