Fire Emblem Fates |OT| Nohr does what Hoshidon't

I don't want to see a FE4 remake, the game can't hold my interest as is, I don't need another one of it.

Honestly, I don't want to see any remakes anytime soon. I want new games.

Its always lame how side characters have no real story importance, but the only real way to get out of that is to eliminate perma death, which wouldn't fly with a lot of players (though I'd probably be okay with it)

I really doubt eliminating permadeath would help increase the role minor characters play in the story. There's just too many characters, it's best to just focus on a small group for the story.

And I'd rather have a lot of characters play less of a role in the story than have less characters to use. Gameplay is more important than the story on this point imo.

An FE4 remake doesn't seem like it's in the cards, but I hope it happens.

It has by far and away the best narrative in a Fire Emblem game, and the obvious best implementation of kid units.

I'd love to play that game with voice acting.

That's not true, Base Conversations and simply better writting in PoR went long ways to make most of the characters feel relevant.

So, if your dudes die in Xenologues do they die in the main game? Because Beach Bash is a bunch of hot boiled bullshit.

Beach Bash doesn't count, since you aren't playing with your actual party. It does count if you die in Xenologues where you're using your own party members though.
 
The story in FE 4 might keep the game away here.

If they do bring it over, it's gonna change a lot.

A faithful story remake would impress me

They did remake the Akaneia games so I wouldnt mind if they also remade th Jugdral games at some point. In fact I really want them to because I want to be able play them in english somehow and I doubt nintendo would ever localize such text-heavy and old games for a VC release without a Mother-fanbase level of outcry. Of the FE we dont have in english those two are the ones I want the most.
Speaking of which, it seems like such a damn waste of effort to fantranslate a game that's already going to be localized in months while Genealogy and Thracia still remain without a decent, complete translation.
 
Im at chapter 14 on Birthright but Ive only had one paralogue mission so far. Are there any other non children related paralogues besides the first one?
 
Ah bummer. Do you know which chapter has the last recruitable character in Birthright? I havent begun any pairing since I dont have the full cast yet.

It's not really a chapter perse, but you have to build certain buildings and upgrade to level 3 to unlock them. Those two are Corrinsexual though (both male)
 
I said I liked Reina last night, but I changed my mind and decided to make babies with Kagero.

I don't care if she was meant for someone else. The eugenics for Kana were just too strong to pass up.
 
FE4 Remake would get censored a lot. Considering Soleil's original support already received criticism (I think it was Soleil, I might be mistaken), how hard do you think Arvis x Deirdre would go under fire considering the circumstances of that marriage? Not to mention FE4 has a lot of support that borders incest.

Would I want an FE4 remake? For sure, FE4 was one of my faves along with Tharcia 776, but with FE's mainstream popularity has risen, FE4 will take a lot of heat and criticism despite being a wonderful game.

permadeath is winning
 
Decided that since Kana and Selkie are both Kitsune/Dragon half breeds I promoted Kana to Nohr Noble to get the skills and promoted Selkie to Nine-tails for skills. Then I'll reclass Selkie into a Nohr noble and Kana into a Nine-Tails and keep them both in those roles.

Alvis and Deidre wouldn't work, child hunts are also very bad .
 
Real talk, base conversations are overrated af. A huge portion of them were just Ike saying hi to the new dude in your party to ask what their deal is. Genealogy basically did this with Talk amyways.

The actual best feature of PoR (and basically only good addition, the story is good though) is the GOAT support system.

Can we talk about how Candace

Like, i'm legit bummed out that she wasn't a proper unit

She doesn't come with any skills either

She's also probably the worst capturable boss, since she can't even class change due to her unique body model, and doesn't start with any unique skills. Haitaka is perfectly usable in spite of lacking features of the main cast, and Kumagera is a legitimately great unit... but Candace really didn't have anything close to their luck.

That's why I liked the base conversations. Also their were many more then just Hi

:(

She also doesn't have any dialogue for level ups (which is standard for capturable units), but it would have been fantastic if she had them.

I'll make her work in a future playthrough... someday.

I'm playing through PoR for the first time right now, and yeah, the base/info conversations do help quite a bit, but they've been absent since that game right? I'd want a vastly expanded base conversation system if the side characters couldnt get screen time in the main story.

It just feels like a waste to me. The camaraderie of your group is my favorite part of fire emblem, I just want a lot more of that.
 
I just don't see what they offer that supports don't other than being easier to see.

They can be tied to map events and story progress which intrinsically connects the players in a slightly more intuitive way than supports. Most base convorsations aren't particularly interesting in my opinion but idea is rather solid.

I really want to know why IS doesn't bother with backgrounds matching the supports.

:(

Technically she can be saved by the DLC skill scrolls. But basically everything in the game is going against her.

They're in FE12, but supports aren't, I can't remember if they're in Shadow Dragon.
 
Yep that's why I think FE4 Remake won't work or it'll get butchered a lot.
Just imagine Arvis and Deidre are now not blood-related

I'm pretty sure people are throwing all these crazy theoretically out of proportion. Assuming an FE4 remake happens, I have a big list of changes I would like to happen but many of them aren't going to change.

Also That spoiler would literally cause a plot hole not that FE4 didn't have some egregious plot holes to begin with but that is an idea that simply cannot change.

Also unpopular opinion, the dragon vein system of FE14 conveys the idea of FE4's holy blood system way better.

I microwave steaks.
I dunno why but this dragon stuff is really turning me off from this game, granted i'm only like 5 chapters in so i'm not far from the beginning and just got to the birthright side? playing the special edition. Hoping the story doesn't get too much wackier.

So I beat the Robin amiibo fight and was about to add him to my team when I messed up and hit No. So now I've gotta redo the fight since I don't want to spend the gold on adding him from the logbook.

And done. At least it goes quickly.

Yeah the intro to this game feels very rushed and weird but it gets slightly better afterwards.
