I wish fire emblem would drop the fan service and stick to what attracted it's original fans.
-story
-complicated levels
-epic characters
-ties with other games in the series
-skills and class system
-army building
-decision making
And it's classic timeless concept, fire emblem is probably the only game of its kind left and I would hate to see it lose itself to the unessisary features based on fanservice.

Darn, no characters with outfits of characters from Snowboard Kids or Eggs of Steel.

I think I'm always gonna be salty about Tsubasa getting Rei's outfit, of ALL characters, it had to be the most one dimensional character in existence. ah well, I guess it's not that big a deal.

I still think this game looks & will be amazing. then again I'm just a sucker for all JRPGs hahah I love how colourful all of the characters are, it makes me feel happy lol

You mean the same "original" fans who nearly caused Nintendo to put the series to rest following the Mystery Of The Fire Emblem remake?

I don't recall any of Sacred Stones or Rekka No Ken levels being particularly complicated.

Subjective not everyone likes Marth, Roy, or Ike much less their supporting cast.

What ties?

Most of the games had very few ties to one another due to taking place either in a different world or different continuity.

Ummmmm Awakening has both of these as does Fates if I'm not mistaken.

If we're talking marriage supports those have been around since Genealogy Of War.

This isn't even meant to be a main FE game. It's like complaining that Hyrule Warriors is a different game from other Zeldas. If this were a thread about the upcoming 3DS games that would be one thing, but your complaints are kind of off base here.

1) Damn that DS costume is awesome
2) Are they really saying the "personas" are FE characters. That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard of. They lost my money

Those are some neat costumes that I'm seeing, particularly the one from Etrian Odyssey III. Smile

The hate for this game reminds me a lot of Sonic Boom and KOF 14 type of hate.

But I think the game will be good a la Kingdom Hearts for its own.

Which is strange since I don't think the hatred is similar to either case

People hated Sonic Boom mostly because of the infamous Sonic Cycle whereas people hate KOF 14 because the game looks ugly as sin.

This game is hated in part because people were expecting a SMTxFE crossover with all their favorite characters from both series instead of an original game that has aspects from both series such as Persona's battle system and dungeon crawler gameplay while featuring a number of characters culled from a verity of Fire Emblem's re-imagined in the game's style.

I hope the other two party members get collaboration costumes as well, but it doesn't seem likely at this point. Kind of amusing that my favorite of those costumes isn't even "Megaten" related.

1) So far, the only similarities Mirages seem to have with Personas is that each is tied to a specific character.
2) We've known "FE" characters were taking the place of demons since E3; this is very much old news.

Don't forget these fans hate the Idol thing and Jpop music.

I never wanted that and am glad they aren't going that route. I'd much rather have a potentially interesting original cast and story then just a potentially soulless crossover of too many characters from different canons. It's one thing for a fighting game like Smash or ________ vs. Capcom, but since this is an RPG I'd rather feel invested in what's going on.

Besides, I've never played the main SMT games themselves, but I've always heard the story was the strong element and not the characters themselves (which is opposite for Persona). As for Fire Emblem, geez where would you start? There's too many characters with around a dozen games to pull from and fans would just whine that they left out so-and-so so either you take too few and cue whining or you take too many to make fans happy and the cast becomes a crowded mess. I'm sorry, but IMHO the logical route was always original cast for this game.
