Pokemon isn't really a nintendo thing, they're basically autonomous.

Compared to their other "second party" franchises there's more moving parts but it's not that dissimilar to Intelligent Systems handling Fire Emblem, unless Nintendo's own internal people assist on the game more than I thought. But I'm sure-ish that unlike Paper Mario its mostly just intsys on their lonesome

nintendo has more say over fe i feel like just because fe is so much smaller. the pokemon company probably has a bit more sway

They have like 4 or 5 other mobile projects on there alone, don't know how I forgot Nintendo didn't have a hand in them. Double checking some Iwata Asks, I see Iwata was part of Creatures at one point so him coming on to help was a different situation as well. Ah well, should probably double check these things before hand.

IIRC Iwata was single-handedly responsible for fitting both Kanto and Joto into one GBC cartridge, allowing for the unique setup for the 2nd gen of Pokemon. But in general, Nintendo basically just rubber stamps whatever GF wants to do because Pokemon has made more money than the GDP of some countries.

I've never played Fire Emblem. If I'm solely interested in the srpg gameplay and don't really care about the story will this be a solid purchase? I know it isn't out yet, but I'm guessing long time fans can get a feel based on what they've seen.

Here's some quotes since I still had the Asks open and its a fun topic quote:Iwata: Although I wasn't working for Nintendo at that stage, I ended up acting as a go-between for Nintendo and you for some reason.

I know it isn't out yet, but I'm guessing long time fans can get a feel based on what they've seen. I've had friends enjoy FE while skipping the story (probably the best way to play Fates....) and looking at it purely mechanically Three Houses seems to have a solid base line on its systems and you can automate the school stuff between maps so we're mostly waiting on if the maps are any good. But nothing has indicated their worse than Revelations or Echoes so it's probably fine.

To be honest this looks like it’s gonna be the most atypical game of the series so far, not that that’s a bad thing since it all LOOKS interesting but Fates looked interesting too, so it’s hard to say but probably just wait for reviews as we get closer to the release date.

Eh, we just had Echoes which deviates from the standard FE formula more than Three Houses does imo (even if it is a remake). Like is any of the first person stuff coming back? Or the dungeon diving? Or the weird way spells work?

Looking back, Echoes seemed to be them experimenting with a bunch of things that have made their return in 3H but in a slightly different or refined way, like the combat arts, lack of weapon triangle, and yeah the first person/dungeon stuff.

i mean theyve been flirting on and off with moving the series closer to gaiden ever since fe8, they've always seemed really taken with some of its ideas. flatout remaking it allowed them to see what actually worked and what didnt in the modern era. echoes honestly feels like it might be one of the more important games in the series considering how much it seems like it freed them up to think outside the box. ofc three houses was definitely being worked on at the same time as echoes, considering echoes was very much a skeleton b-team kind of game, but there was definitely some cross-pollination.

i mean the additional story content in fates was just 'what if the kids... were sad??' and that technically had new units, new locations, etc. i wouldnt put too much stock into it being anything earth shaking esp. since the entire thing is only 24 dollars. obviously certain things in it cost more or less but if you break it down by fourths its 6 dollars

I bet there's a Heroes cameo like Echoes got a Cipher cameo. The cross-promotion has already started, anybody who links Three Houses to their nintendo account gets a Byleth for free in Heroes.

Picking at prices might be hard to do at this point, though, we dont know how extensive the grinding maps or other minor quests are or...litearlly anything. And we just came off a game that sold you classes for $2 each alongside actual maps with dialog, supports, items and characters for $6 each. Kind of hard to gauge anything. I could see it acting as a mini, i dunno, epilogue of sorts? Or some golden "what if" finale, where its not a full campaign but picks up as an alternate 3-5 maps for the ending that all 3 paths can take. side note i'm pretty surprised Wave 2 is coming 3 months later instead of nearer release where grinding maps would probably be at their most useful.

Endorph posted:yes i literally said that. my point is that if it was extremely significant itd probably cost 15-20 dollars and i cant imagine the other stuff only costing 2-3 each. it probably costs like, 10. Yeah I misread your post, my apologies. Comparing it to Fates DLC, it looks like roughly the same price as Map packs 1+2 which had six classes, 16 maps and one new character. So roughly that level of content would fit.

Here's a japanese overview trailer that just went up. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ZqLpzlaiyo Probably nothing super important or new, but we get a look at a lot more characters, systems and some new maps in action. I'm sure serenes and such will pick it apart for any extra stuff soon

Endorph posted:also looking at the trailers the maps look like actual, fire emblem maps for the first time since 12 Can we really tell that from the snippets we've seen? I feel like I could take similar shots of other maps in the series and you wouldn't know the full scale or their design unless it was an absolutely dire map to begin with That's an earnest question, though, I'd like to hear more about why you think that. I'll admit map design isn't my strong suit

i didnt mean map design i mean literally just the way maps are laid out in terms of terrain, there's clear paths through them while still having some chokepoints instead of being tiny two pixel halls like 99.9% of the maps in conquest and half of rev or giant open fields like awakening or birthright/the other half of rev. like they look like a space that you can move units through without being miserable. maybe the core map design will still suck but more and more im realizing my biggest issue with the 3ds era was less 'the maps being well balanced challenges' and more just how the basic act of moving units through the space that was available was incredibly cumbersome.
