On one hand, HOLY **** FE4 AND FE5 WITHOUT EMULATION. On the other hand, that depends on sales. =\

The crossover intrigues me, but I'm not too hopeful given Intelligent Systems' recent track record with the new and exciting.

If that's the case, then I hope Shadow Dragon sells poorly. I'm tired of remakes. If IS insists on making bad games, the least they could do is not ruin games that were at one point good.

Honestly, I would rather have a new title (that ISN'T 'targetted to casual audiences') than a remake that would bastardize FE4/5.

I would also rather have a straight port of FE4 (and I guess 5) where they didn't change much at all (maybe graphics, but not gameplay) instead of a new title (be it 'casual' or... what the I am undeserving of waffles term do I use? Regular? Whatever.)

I'd like a port, but considering I've never played FE4 or FE5, I'll take what I can get. You can whine and moan about "OH THEY RUINED IT ALL NOW" (I'm too lazy to provide the TVTropes link), but it's fairly easy to say that when you're sitting in a position in which you've played it.

That said, crossover is questionable. CVJ had potential, but some of the characters that got in were a bit...questionable...but then, a FE crossover game would still be FE, not a fighting game.

FE's fine as a casual franchise. If I'm feeling particularily self-destructive I'm going to go play a SMT game or Rondo of Swords or a ****-you patch or something instead anyways. FE games I generally play to unwind, like Valkyria Chronicles these days.

Rondo of Swords is fun.


Mind-numbingly bland and boring, but fun and challenging if you're up to it.

SMT torture? Flare, some of that is self-induced, especially if you try for perfect fusions. >_>

What I really would like if they went along with this would be a combined FE4/5 remake for the Wii--better graphics, and a little bit of gameplay enhancing/balancing. Maybe even a hard to get story branch off as a surprise (by that, I mean fulfilling X condition, to change Y event). The DS...well...it just wouldn't be as big a change/as worth it.

Bioshock is accessable to casual gamers. It is not a casual game.
Mass Effect is accessable to casual gamers. It is not a casual game.
FE is fairly accessable to casual gamers.


Also, don't think of the casual gamer as somebody who games for 10 minutes on Peggle whilst calling it the peak of perfection, the casual gamer is just that: Somebody who plays games casually. The majority of people on Xbox Live are casual gamers.


EDIT: Jmy, as for "X condition y event", are you thinking the same things I am as to what that would entail? And by that, I mean certain events in Chapter 3.

Of course, but it could be applied in so many places. A remake needs at least one surprise, so if that were to happen, I hope they make room for a few optional deviations.

Yeah, possibly. But still, it does really drag on, especially at the start of the second generation, when the story is kinda slow and suddenly you don't have a ton of juggernauts.

Not really. FE isn't exactly easy to pick up and play. Maybe easier than most SRPGs, but that's not saying much. Any of the FE games are pretty tough for newbies, especially taking into account permanent deaths and the RNG causing most of them.

I know casual gamers who played FE. The Marcus craze is no joke--they could get far into the game but would just suck towards the end when the prepromotes crap out and the perma-deaths caught up to them. They could learn, but most had no desire to. Just rather move on to something else.

Getting through FE7 my first time, after constantly using Marcus and other prepromotes, with only 2 deaths was unbelievable fun. I've never played as carefully or cleverly as I did during that playthrough.

Eh, I remember how horribly I played FE7 on my first attempt.

I physically could not get past Cog of Destiny; I promoted people as soon as possible, I constantly used the prepromotes, and I didn't get any of the characters that weren't mandatory. That was not fun. =\

EDIT: Oh yeah, and I still rushed in as recklessly then as I do now. Can't remember how many people died, am assuming it was "a lot".

im so cool changin' mah name to skull's name cuz he is cool and now im cool like him

On my first playthrough, following too much use of Marcus and trying to raise too many units, I gave up on using most of my underlevelled normal team when I got stuck on Cog of Destiny so I just swapped in a ton of prepromotes and used them for the rest of the game. It worked pretty well.

Ooh, my head is spinning...

I did my first playthrough the same way you guys would normally do it. Since I played FE7 quite a few months after joining the FEABL and already knowing most of the tips <_<

And why should I trust your ability? You have very consistently been losing ground to the Germans, regardless of whether I've been on your side or not. What you're telling me is that I have a dilemma: either I can fight you and see you lose all of your SCs to Germany, or I can fight Germany and see you lose all of your SCs to Germany.

What's the password?

I did my first playthrough in a completely optimal and effecient manner, not missing a single character, getting a good amount of gaidens, and not losing anybody.

This was a combination of prior experience with FE (slight/minimal), reading a couple things on GFAQs months before I got the game, and my own perfectionism.

I didn't actually use it during the game, I used it long before release when I was stumbling my way through the Japanese ROM.

Wait, hang on...


Playing a game that I was interested in, and had no reason to suspect was getting a US release, in a language I didn't understand, and using a guide to asssist me, is fail, right?


That's a high standard of failure. Guess everyone who played SRW OG in the four years between its Japanese and US releases fails, huh?
