definitely not using StreetPass to bring characters that aren't really a part of the story in
I can tolerate the feature being a thing (it was a thing in FE13 too) but at least for my first 1 or 2 playthroughs of each route I think I want a very natural and traditional FE experience and that means nothing that feels non-canon, would ruin the atmosphere or immersion, etc. to the best of my ability
includes DLC/SpotPass characters too
how weird would it be for Marth to save the world of a world he's not even related to (as far as we know; like assuming this isn't just another continent on the planet that FE takes place on where all continents are actually on the same world, or something)
I'm kind of annoyed over how the Capture function can only be used by Orochi on Hoshido. I don't want to use her since I don't like her design or voice. But it's probably a function reserved for generic units.
The concept of capturing enemies to use them is something I'm interested in, but I'm honestly a little weirded out by this when it comes to human enemies. Most of the time when this shows up you're capturing "monster" units which all have their own specific kinds of abilities (think pokemon) but here these guys are quite literally presented as prisoners. It either feels like they won't be very trustworthy or that Orochi is going to pull some shady hypnosis and shit on them. Since I have a bias from playing Blazing Souls(also an SRPG with this function) where I really liked how I could do this(albeit some limitations were annoying), unfortunately I doubt FE:IF will be able to do anything but disappoint me with the function.
I kind of want to try a run where your entire team (other than forced units) are generics though.
^yeah not really excited for much here, Capture sounds okay but I don't think I'll use it much/find it to add much to the game, but we'll see
(insert obvious FE5 comment here)
EDIT: As usual, Vincent has posted pretty much all the details on the latest Famitsu leak on Serenes Forest, which you can find at http://serenesforest...familiar-faces/
Lol they just fucking gave up trying to "veil" the awakening homages now. Though, I REALLY don't like that they are recycling most of their design and personality. It also completely dashes my hopes for the support conversations to be more substance and less filler. Even though this jumping to conclusions, I still have no hope. Also why are they all stuck on the Nohr side?
Capturing sounds interesting, but also not interesting. I probably will end up never using this feature unless you can get something really cool out of your prisoners.
IIRC Her personality description wasn't completely the same as her awakening gimmick (unlike Inigo's and Owain's) but I could be wrong since I haven't read Severa's supports in forever.

IIRC Severa was two things:
1:"I hate you mom. Why are you so PERFECT at everything? Everyone always compares me to YOU and no matter how much I try to be better than you in some way nobody even cares. That's why I said fuck it to pegasi and went mercenary."
This game is looking a lot more cinematic than Awakening which I like a lot. This trailer actually got me pretty hype cause the story sections seem to be good.
Also there seems to be more shapeshifters now, which is cool I guess.
Oh man, they get closer if you rub their favorite spot. Why game?
And the capture command seems like it can be used interestingly. Seems like Orochi seduces the prisoner in persuasion. I'm gonna guess Zero is going to torture them.

I don't feel uh, quite as... passionate about you but it does in fact hurt things a lot. this is probably giving more mixed feelings than almost any other game. on one hand it looks freaking amazing and on the other hand it seems freaking awful. it's just really difficult to deal with and I kind of wish they'd have just made it straight-up awesome, this is getting annoying >_>

(thanks for that Cero)
likewise the STORY parts seem good but it feels like the game is going to drag me out of it so often and ugh I hope it's not actually just really cheesy/bad or something. we'll see >_>; shapeshifters are okay, I pretty much never like them/hardly use them (except for like Tibarn or some chapters where I didn't have much choice in who I used if I didn't want to greatly handicap myself) but yeah, it doesn't hurt as long as they don't shapeshift into like, unicorns or sheep or goats or something next >_____________________________________> *longface*
I disliked the video just because of the person who uploaded it
it's a shame the cutscenes look a little meh on the 3DS since it's not HD, alas all we can do is dream of a Fire Emblem for Wii U where Nintendo/IS went all out and just made an amazing game, or at least something on the level of FE7 or FE9 for me (those were two games I enjoyed a lot despite their flaws)

thanks for the translated scans but ugh
my brain cannot handle some of these things
the mixed feelings are real
I kinda just want the game already just so I can get it and have an actual concrete opinion on it, even if that means bashing it to hell
Yeah the mixed feelings are real. I'm still liking the game overall, but just some inclusions/design choices just really put me off (more than they really should).
Anyways, depending on how much resources it takes to recruit the generics on the harder modes I'm going to guess capturing and recruiting them will help out quite a bit on Lunatic mode. (Full generic party who are stronger than my face units go go go)
Interests:Tons of stuff, figure them out yourself.

I am sooooo losing faith in this game TT_TT. It's making me really sad.
This won't be removed until Chile wins the World Cup - Started 24/06/12
BTW, I take map requests if anyone wants to make one XD, just send me a PM and I'll most likely accept. If you wanna see some of previous work you can visit my gallery here, I'd skip to the end because I've improved alot XD.

just the typical reasons going around or anything specific? it's not like you're going to play it, right? you still haven't played Awakening last I remember
EDIT: whoops, forgot, but
sitcker sets for pre-ordering the... FEif New 3DS cover plate? in Japan, they are a thing lol
There's actually a lot more footage of FEFates thanks to E3; you can search online (my Twitter at http://www.twitter.com/fireemblembuzzlinks to most of the footage too) to find it, aside from the main E3 trailer above and some Treehouse footage there was also Treehouse footage today and I think IGN tried the game too and there should be a showing of the Hoshido route tomorrow on Treehouse Live from what I remember/understood, so yeah.
Again, you can use my twitter or Serenes Forest (http://serenesforest.net/) to find the latest details, breakdowns, etc.; there's a whole lot, so yeah.
Discussion Time
- What do you think of the English voices? Good, bad, don't care?
My thoughts: I think they're great. The singing voice sounds a tiny bit off but otherwise good. As a whole I'm really happy to hear nice, beautiful English. I get so sick of Japanese, I'm sorry.
- Are the cutscenes fabulous or what?
My thoughts: They're fabulous. This isn't really up for discussion. *shot* (I'm joking)
- Any thoughts on anything you've seen at Treehouse or otherwise? For instance, they DID show actual gameplay footage, and you could even get a feel for some of the characters and their personalities, just a bit anyway, so yeah... ._.
My thoughts: None to share, but I wasn't very impressed. It seemed ok, but somewhat predictable... like, it felt like something close to what I could have written... or something. (I know, I'm being vague.) Obviously, I'm not a great writer, though I could write some basic dialog too, I think.
EDIT: Oh yeah, the game is now called "Fire Emblem Fates". Get used to it. I've changed the topic title accordingly.
FYI, the Hoshido route/White Kingdom is called Birthright, and the Nohr route/Black Kingdom is called Conquest, from what I gathered, understood, and remembered. Look, I'm tired. I'm not really sure of anything anymore.

Just the typical reasons. I'll probably play it if I get a 3DS but idk when that will be.
Game looks pretty cool, though the map design still seems to be blandish. qq
The map design is actually one of the things I'm liking about the game, haven't seen much of the actual maps, BUT the fact that when you fight you zoom in and get an animated version of the entire map as a battlefield... This actually got me doubting this, it's still in the game right? I mean they showed it in the reveal trailer.

^That's still in the game. IIRC I saw it when they were live-streaming the game during E3. It's pretty cool yeah. That being said I think that's more of an aesthetic than something that actually makes the gameplay better or worse, lol.
