I'm not sure they have a lot of faith in the game. It looks kind of bad imo and still had performance issues last I saw.

I've been meaning to ask about the game. I've not really followed it at all, yet I've started seeing stuff show up like: "I used to be really hyped about Fire Emblem Warriors, but now I'm not!" or whatever.

And I can't tell if the game is a bad Musou... Or if this is just the usual hate of Musou games some people have (meaning I'm seeing the reactions of people who couldn't put 2 and 2 together and realize "Fire Emblem Warriors" was another Musou/Warriors game)

I think a lot of the hate is coming from long-time Fire Emblem fans when they finalized the fact that the characters are almost universally from the last two games (one of which was generally agreed upon to be mediocre). The only pre-Awakening character is Marth and that's just because he's from the first game.

If you liked the GBA or GameCube fire emblems like a lot of people, you're just poo poo outta luck.

The hate comes moreso from Fire Emblem fans being down on the character cast; the actual gameplay looks supercool and on the side of good Musous in my opinion.

Shadow Dragon, Awakening, and Fates: Basically the oldest, the newest, and one that is kinda in-between in terms of FE mechanics (+ also being popular).

They've been hiring for positions that are absolutely Pokemon Switch related for the last 9+ months, IIRC. It was absolutely in the design stage by the time the Switch's hardware was finalized and I don't doubt they are fully underway with its development by now.

I wouldn't expect to see anything until e3 2018, and even then it might just be a basic "this exists" trailer. Big JRPG's take time to build from scratch.

All the royals from Fates, most of the shepherds from Awakening (Chrom, Lissa, Fred, Robin, etc), and Marth. Probably Tiki as well, but she hasn't been officially revealed yet iirc.

I tried Hyrule Warriors on a New 3DS and I wasn't impressed, is it just a lovely version or is that genre not for me?

I mean I liked the general idea of it but the combat seemed kinda grindy and not all that interesting.

The game is a mile wide but an inch deep, after 20 minutes you've basically seen everything the game has to offer. I've never played any other Musou games but that seems to be par for the course so they're basically just trash.

It provides plenty of spectacle. While the combat isn't deep, it's fun. And it's fun to see all the references and characters doing cool poo poo. In that regard the closest have I can think of to it, though in a completely different genre, is Lego games.

Now I'm imagining a Lego musuo.

Well because as I understand it Camilla touched a deep, deep chord of fetishes with the average fire emblem slash anime pervert (she got big tiddies she obsessed over you and she your sister but not really) while Ike is just a punchman with huge appetite and who takes no poo poo from no one but for regular normal people Ike should be more popular

Tbh while I wouldn't call the combat deep, there's more to it than a first glance reveals. You need to use the right combos to take out each group as quickly and effectively as possible, since the real danger is beating timers and getting to important map points quickly. So getting the timing down and knowing which finisher will clear this specific pack without wasting time on overkill is important. It's not "can i beat these guys," it's "can I beat these guys without wasting precious seconds so I can get to the next fort".

Of course in practice you end up doing the same combos over and over with most characters. Which is where the Zelda fanservice pays off because it's fun to see like the great fairy tormenting Link or deep cuts like the pillars you lift with the golden gauntlets in oot.

There is a $20 season pass with one bit of story DLC planned. The rest is weapons and challenges.
