I think it’s good, plenty of channels who have to deal with long spans with no content do this sort of commentary series. I agree with eternal. I think you should give yourself more time to answer certain questions, and as a result maybe have less questions in the video.
Giving yourself time to answer these in detail is a really good idea. One thing I would suggest is trying to slow down your speaking. It sort of feels like the video is set at 1.25 or 1.5x speed at times. Still, it's a fun listen, and thank you for answering my question!
Yeah, absolutely! It seems to me like a much calmer experience for you as well, being able to think about your answers without any pressure and having more control in general. It's definitely just as enjoyable as the usual format. :D
Personally, I'm quite happy to watch long, in-depth videos about a single topic - but if fans are asking you so many questions that you can't give them the full treatment, I think this format is a pretty good way of answering them! And if people crowd the comments saying how much they'd like to see a full-length discussion on a subject, well, you can always do that later...
What if Fire Emblem Awakening had a prequel manga series that explores each of the characters of that game like Chrom, Gaius, Cordelia, Tharja, Lon’qu, Cherche, Henry and Stahl? We get to know more about their families, back stories and connections to the other characters. Plus I would be nice to see a Robin manga prequel and just have them be a set of twins, both male and female. We can explore more on what it was like for Robin to grow up. What was his/her mother like? And who raised them after she died?
a geomancer type class where you could create terrain impassable by ground units, douse units and limit their movement while also leaving them weak to ice or lightning magic, or create a patch of earth that heals allies would be pretty cool. also maybe a hunt master class that utilizes a pet to do occasional damage and has combat arts that utilizes certain ones, would be another ranged class. when i think of a FE fighting game i immediately think of the Granblue Fantasy one. As cool as it would be to have it be made, i feel like it'd die out like most fighting games after the initial buzz.
FE Three Houses needs a sequel!😄WE NEED IT! Byleth having kids and Shez being the antagonist? That sounds good! Keep this in mind that Byleth was the antagonist in Three Hopes! >.> ( Soo... why not? Shez being the antagonist for Three Houses sequel! That sounds good! ) Evil Shez messing up with the multiverse and the timelines!😂 SOUNDS GOOD!
they easily have lords or villains for EVERY archetype, even including a composite character (theres one in FG existence being double from skullgirls) with alear and a puppet character with any sort of mechanist or even Jedah who could summon witches.
@@westonmeyer3110FE vs SC would go hard. Or a Nintendo vs Namco game with the same aesthetics and gameplay as SC. Both sides have more than enough series and characters for a full roster.
Hortensia turned me around as well. Combined with Panette they made me reevaluate why I dislike Peri. I thought it was design and voice nope it was that combined with her pychopathic personality. Next time a unit looks like that I won't be as dismissive. P.S. Sakurai Would totally spoil Black Knight's identity with a red armor helmetless alt.
The monastery is tough because I feel like its so, so, SO important to the emotional beats of the story as well as aspects of the gameplay that flesh out the world and play a big role in showing, not telling. I’m coming at it from a perspective of liking the monastery because I love listening to the character dialogue and I really don’t see what all the trouble is in getting through it quickly while considering what you need for your next battle (I’m on my…7th maddening? And I’m still having fun with it), but for so many people to struggle with it, I don’t think it’s something I’d want to just call a difference of opinion. There is something to be done with it to make it more fun for all players, even those who enjoy it. I don’t think that’s making it optional, because again it’s very important to 3H and a big part of its identity, but rather making it more relevant and fun in a few ways with hindsight and more budget, both visually and mechanically. Im hoping for that sort of thing in a hypothetical 3H definitive.
Thank you so much for putting this out there! I totally agree. I bonded very quickly with the monastery, and it's why I was able to so quickly emotionally invest in the story. The 3 Hopes base camps just weren't the same. Garreg Mach was basically all my childhood associations with Hogwarts, but better.
The problem is doing calculations for optimal meals and other activities, tea answers, and so on, as well as teaching options. Having a good "optimize" button and an option to just skip the monastery and get a simplified menu would help Edit: I guess what I'm trying to say is, I like the world building aspect of the hubs, but hate how it feels like I have a bunch of chores to do before moving on to the next chapter. Also, making all the little minigame things be purely for fun and not do anything is another option for "fixing" the hubs
@@reidskull5018 In my opinion, those calculations (in 3H at least) is a big part of the gameplay-more the gardening for stat boosters, sauna for units falling behind or who need more skills for more strict classes, Byleth’s skills in order to recruit favorite units before the timeskip while balancing your limited time ofc as opposed to the tea times and such, which are less useful and more optional-considering how its gameplay is so tightly tied to unit building, commitment to builds, and building a diverse army with strong utility to work around unexpected scenarios in battle. At least in maddening, and the beginning of hard if you’re a new player. So for me, in terms of gameplay, I view the monastery as another part of the battle. I find it very satisfying to watch the units grows as well, and of course all that is very important to the story, and selling the whole academy/professor idea. All that is why I’m really against the idea of removing it/making it basically purposeless in gameplay. It separates the story and gameplay where I feel like they otherwise elevate each other. That said it’s totally true that it needs to be better, even I have little ideations of a cooler monastery haha. I just think the way to do that is to make the activities more entertaining, more relevant to the core gameplay and less…just pressing a button, and it happens. That way it’s at least as high quality, even if it’s not for some people.
@@reidskull5018 That makes the minigames considerably more boring, in my view. It's why the Somniel generally missed IMO. Also, doing the calculations added some more personality to the characters in gameplay, and I personally found the gardening calcs kinda fun. I even made a basic Python program to calculate the overall score of a set of seeds. I do get why some people who don't like fun would want the simplified menu option.
You’re right about the monastery being essential to Three Houses story and characters skipping it heavily hurts the game but going through it is a miserable experience that hurts the game too there is absolutely 0 reason that all of the monastery can’t be done fast through a menu and even then the game should just stop having you teach stuff to everybody when the war starts with only some private tutoring so you can meet the final class benchmarks and only one week in between battles, it’s also completely stupid to go back to the monastery in a very clearly linear invasion
A Fire Emblem fighting game is what I want so badly! I have so many ideas for characters and mechanics already. But I don't think it would sell well, if I'm being honest. Most FE fans are probably more into slow-paced games and fighting game enthusiasts aren't really drawn in by a FE roster.
rpg's and fighting games are like my two favorite genre's (i include tactical rpg's and rpg's in the same category) I would also love a fe fighting game but I would base it of only 1 game because it's almost impossible to make fans happy otherwise and a lot of characters would just feel the same because we would need all the lords in it and that would probably already be half of the roster.
I feel like the issue with longevity for games like Engage in the minds of a fandom that specifically have good gameplay but not so good story is that stories are always unique, gameplay is always iterated. The goal of the next non-remake FE game will be to try trumping the gameplay of Engage, or at least making something that is just as good. You also have the issue that as a game gets less actively available most people will experience it through secondhand means, which is not so good for gameplay that isn't cool to watch (let's be real, watching fire emblem gameplay over actually playing it can be a bit of an acquired taste). That being said the emblems were pretty cool, and tbh I hope they do bring them back in SOME capacity if not in the next game, then in a future one.
Some thoughts - A Three Houses sequel would be better served by going off the Three Hopes timeline rather than the original game. Nothing ended conclusively in that timeline, so you could draw together these points somehow. I also think it would be great to explore the lands beyond Fodlan, they teased so much out in the scant lore, such as that wizard tower in the desert... On silent vs active characters, I do like active characters, but only when written well. A poorly written, toothpaste haired active character will really turn me off a game. Silent characters are bland but safe. Though I did like Byleth. Probably one of the few silent characters that I did
I’m sorry WHAT??!?! I can SEE the line of thought that leads to the wacky magic nuke stuff, (I disagree with it personally I think it’s kind of an outlier and explainable through not absurd power levels, but that’s just my opinion so whatever) but where in the name of GOD are they getting that from?
@@Lh0000 ironically you answered your own question. When fused, Byleth straight up gets Sothis's power, which is potent enough to flood continents, a feat supported by the Agarthans in "Romance of the World's Perdition" and how Shambala feels like it has an air lock. Also Arval and Epimenides nuts talk about flowing water and how Arval was almost lost to it. And in Azure Gleam, Dimitri can keep up with this Byleth in terms of strength. In case your curious, another person that calc'd the feat found it needs something like 28 Petatons of TNT to pull off.
@@gratedshtick I mean, I don’t think that in any way correlates with actual combat strength, like if I can teleport objects with my mind and I teleport a meteor from the asteroid belt the size of texas am I as powerful as the meteor? We honestly don’t even know much about the context of that either she coulda made it rain for seven days or she could have spontaneously generated all the water just THERE instantly. It could have been instant, it could have taken her like a year. There just isn’t enough information to draw any conclusions from this
Completely disagree with you wbout hubworlds because I personally feel they need to be expanded and made more dynamic to make the world feel more alive. At best, there need to be options for teleporting to areas you've already visited. Toning down hubworlds would only serve to reverse the progress made by Three Houses.
@@AkameGaKillfan777 Kinda my point. The hub world loops should be less repetitive when it comes to unit and NPC dialogue, there should be a greater variety of hub world activities, and hub worlds need to take more after Garreg Mach as opposed to My Castle or the Somniel in the sense that they need to be real locations on the map as opposed to isolated floating castles.
I would not be surprised if Awakening got a sequel due to it's mark on the franchise. The way its universe is loosely connected to other games could lend itself to a fun narrative experience, and characters like Priam could be given a real purpose for existing.
I think honestly laguz were fun to use and should be brought back and custom characters should not be protagonist i think they should be like a side protag and after thinking on it engage story wasn't that bad in the grandscheme of fire emblem
14:30 this is something I've seen a lot where the main gripe people have is the gameplay being uninteresting due to the mostly-same maps. They also complain about the graphics and art, which I don't really get (imo the art style of 3H is a lot better than the cartoonish one of Engage), and the FEH players hate on 3H because nearly every special banner includes at least one character from the game. I even saw someone get angry because Cyril was the GHB unit for this year's CYL banner
I would love a game that remakes FE 6 and 7 together. Going from Eliwoods story to Roy seamlessly and better integrating the prequel story for more carry over I think would be brilliant.
Also making the FE6 kids be like in Awakening/Fates where different parents result with different stats and classes etc, as Eliwood can already marry different women depending on supports in the original.
I think a FE sequel based on the bad ending of Awakening could be interesting. In the bad ending, Grima is implied to come back in 1000 years, meaning the heroes just made it someone else's problem, so we can explore the descendants of the Shepherds having to deal with Grima and eventually finding a way to put them down for good.
Honestly, instead of a three houses sequel, i can see a Three Houses Prequel going over Rhea and Jeralts story before/leading up to Byleths birth. Essentially the story revolving around what happens after Jeralt obtains the Crest of Seiros and his long life span.
Or the very predictable War of Heroes prequel. That would genuinely be interesting. I feel any prequel from after the Crescent Moon War wouldn't quite work because it would necessitate putting too much action in that part of the timeline when most of the factions were relatively quiet.
*I think a Three houses sequel is possible. Up to 4 In fact* Here's how: 1-3) Prequels Sothis-Agarthan war or Rhea war or any period after Rhea took power. 4) Actual sequal after 3H: Remember how in Dimitri's route the Agarthans survive? That can give us a canoncial ending that proceeds like this: Dimitri wins but a while after the Agarthands do a successful surprise attack with a Nemesis army and destroy everything, forcing Byleth to do a ritual to jump all the way back to the acadmey phase again. This time with all his future knowledge he starts to teach all 3 classes in a rotating fashion, allowing him to be a unifying force and trying to prevent alot of the conflicts from breaking out. That would also allow to finally get supports between the house leaders and their retainers. And if 4) has all 3 house leaders and nations surviving at the end that would even open the door for a sequel of the sequel.
every game can have a sequel, but not using the same characters. Every continent has a lot of lore to know, we don't have a world map for any of the games, just their continent. A want a FE where we actually get a world map. It doesn't have to be in a contemporary setting, the globalization started back in the XVI century; and in FE they have magic and stuff, so more easy.
My personal best idea for a sequel is awakening gaiden. The same way that awakening was a spiritual retelling of marth's story I'd love to see how that era rebuilds valentia/valm, either with a lost heir to walhart or something of the like. As far as characters making cameos, it'd be extremely easy to have virion, cherche, and say'ri play a role but it would be fun to potentially see the kids show up without their mommy/daddy issues or time travel chicanery drawing attention away from their core personalities. If set later enough in the timeline it would be even more fun to see the adult versions of the prime universe's kids show up as well, so much untapped potential with that
For the lord trio idk if it counts but gotta say Sigurd, Eldigan and Quan; absolute powerhouse major holy blood trio who trained together in their youth and all got completely shafted because they were too genuine and honourable for the world they lived in only for their sons to have to team up and sort out the affairs of the world they couldn't deal with themselves
There's quite a range of turn-based games available these days, but I'm a fussy guy; I want something with a bit of character and/or story in addition to good gameplay. Knowing that a huge Fire Emblem fan recommends Lost Eidolons has certainly bumped it a few spots up on my wish-list!
The way to justify retaining Engage's gameplay elements already exists: just move all the effects onto the Battalions, adding a special mode for them named something like Muster. Engage skills are already Gambits, as referenced by Byleth himself stealing one of them for his super. Engage weapons could be turned into standard battalion-driven attacks, where e.g. instead of the main character attacking with their sword the armor corps rushes forward with their axes. Such a system also allows a finer control of power levels: you can reintroduce Authority and use it to gate certain powerful battalions or features, and the role of Bond Rings can be filled with generic low-tier battalions. Composing the system like this would also be very convenient for giving good effects to the enemy without needing excessive story explanation, and you can still have something like Ch. 17 happen by just having a map where the enemy runs lots of elite battalions in a scene meant to represent a massive all-out battle.
I think that the Tellius base camp mechanic was the best hub. You can still do stuff, but dont have to run aroubd looking at a map to find stuff or chase peiple down to chat.
You can also talk to people outside dlcs, which not only works because Ike is the leader and has to manage stuff with people, you get extra dialogue, you hear Muarim's (? the Laguz that joins with Tormod) backstory, and some other things Also the songs used there work well when studying, working, etc
@@Fermin-hw5pd The only things i feel the tellius base camps were missing was some kind of training/missions to send units out on for loot or experience if u werent going to use them in the upcoming mission.
@@ianmckee4726 But there's bonus exp for that, which should have been limited to 1 level up per chapter per unit or something, but it's much quicker than grinding
@@Fermin-hw5pd I imagine these "side jobs" as a way for the peope you arent using to still earn their keep, ans the rewarss for thse missions eould be like star boosters or rarer weapons. They could even be a way to add the thr S rank weapons back into any remake withiut muking about in the base gsme too much. The XP and extra stst boosters would be there to help get your troops closer to that sweet lvl 20 transfer bonus for a RD remake. Mostly though Ike is running a business here, and if Volke and Zakarov are going to be eating his food thry need to chip in by raiding a weapon convoy or something.
If 3 houses had a sequel is should take place in another continent or be a prequel. Hell make a prequel where we see the fall of the agarthans and understand why they hate sothis show her at her worst.
If I could add anything FE related to smash I'd ad Briedablik as a sort of assist trophy like item. Imagine using that and summoning characters like Hel, Edelgard, Rhea,Caeda, palla and her sisters,
I wouldn’t say Eliwood was done horribly in Heroes as his Legendary and Young alts provide fantastic support but that’s kinda the problem as well. You’ll never see him face combat
His base form was also pretty good, specifically because the Durandal refines made him last longer than most other gen 1 unit. As a massive Eliwood fan, he's treated pretty well in feh, it's just Engage that did him dirty.
Thx u for answering my question ghast,❤ but ya The gacha game powercreep is bullshit, and games like that need powercreep but it's WAY to fast, like every 2 weeks, and the mode just wasn't that good,
Ever since I played Radiant Dawn, I couldn't stop thinking of it's world revealing another continent, which Hatari is a part of. I've been wanting Intelligent Systems to make a game for that for years and still do. I know about the great flood but since Ashera and Yune weren't perfect, they were probably if not definitely wrong about only Tellius surviving. I picture this game happening in the new continent with a few visitors from Tellius.
On the topic of hub areas. I do like the idea of the monestary, especially doing a run through each mission to hear the lore tidbits and every characters thoughts on the next mission. But, is that enough to really make a hub area good enough? You could actually get the same in a small cutscene without much work (Since Fire Emblem cutscenes is just the character models against a mainted background anyways) Which made me think of another game I really like: Valkyria Chronicles. In that game the whole presentation happens through a book, and the "bub area" is just pages in that book, and from there you select what to do and get a short cutscene. It works pretty well, and is a lot smoother than having to run around a hub area. It also has the added benefit of linking together cutscenes etc. Especially Valkyria Chronicles 4 did it nicely with paralogue style missions and everything.
Would it be sufficient compromise for the "Hub" area to basically be a Map/"overworld" view instead? (And only now do I notice that we have custom emoji from the pinned post. This is great.)
@@whiteraven1992 You would still need menus to navigate things though. With a map you'd probably have your base, and from that base you'd select options. The book in Valkyria Chronicles was a nice presentation of said menus. (Check the game out if you haven't played it). Heck. Fire Emblem Engage has a book already in form of the character entry thing. Why not expand on that? The main benefit of the Monastery in Three Houses was that it also provided some "small talk about the upcoming mission." All the dialogue was also voice acted. So, I never really felt like that hub was bad. But, in Engage? Man I'm getting tired of the Somniels "mandatory" stuff. I would have much rather treat it a bit like the training in Three Houses. Select what party members is going to do what task, then get a small mongage of them doing it (such as picking fruit, swimming, caring for the animals, training in the areaa), and then we get the rewards. All of that could be done from the map of course, but if you have to move the character from "place to place" to do each screen it's essentially just a fancy menu? I just really like the book presentation in Valkyria Chronicles.
FE3H probably can't do a sequel in the vein you proposed because of the relationship between Byleth's Crest of Flames and Crimson Flower's ending. After the end of CF, we see the Crest of Flames in Byleth's chest melt away and their heart beating for the first time. This implies that Byleth has lost their status as Ascended/Nabatean and most fan theories involving this ending also point to this being their first time being able to be emotional. The imagery and its interpretation, at least in the West, is very much that of Byleth becoming mortal. So any CF sequel would almost guarantee that Byleth is aging. Rather than a sequel, we still have tons of places we can explore in the broader world of Fodlan. Brigid, Dagda, Duscr, and Almyra could all serve as great settings for a Thracia/Genealogy situation. Or for Fodlan more proper, there's ~1500 years of history you could explore, such as the War of Eagle and Lion or the Leicester Alliance's original rebellion and occupation by Kingdom forces, the latter of which neatly divides into three parts of the factions we already know. While the outcome is already known in the sequel prequel's cases, setting it as far back as either event allows for individual dramatic elements and storytelling as well as tie-ins to the prequel sequel.
When it comes to capture mechanics, i would love it if we could capture more of the story relevant bosses and minibosses, but you had to do something VERY difficult in order to get them, like a really difficult paralogue you only have a small window to do so you can't just grind the difficulty out of it to get them at all, and then a small paralogue section of a later map to avoid that they have to leave you, like they have to go back home to save their family, but if you beat a specific map fast enough, you cut the attack short so their family isn't in danger anymore and they can stay... If anything, i would like it if paralogues were integrated into main mission maps, where you get an extra unit tied to that paralogue on top of your existing deployment slots, but you in turn get an extra sidemission you must complete on a previously locked part of that map, basicly making a map with two main missions, both being failure conditions!
Honestly, i wish for a ArcSys Fire Emblem fighting game. Kinda like either Granblue Versus or Guilty Gear. And yeah, yet another Muso, but with more mainline games involved, not just Shadow Dragon, Fates and Awakening or just Three Houses.
I’d love a Fire Emblem fighting game by Arc System Works. I’d also love a proper “Warriors 2”, not just focused on Fodlan. I also like the idea of a “Five Faction” branched story; different campaigns led by the 5 lords [that the Jewels were gathered from] from the first FEW ~ also featuring characters from across the Jugdral, Elibe, and Tellius games.
4:33 I completely agree with Eliwood, but I'd also add Leif. He has 2 versions in Heros and is in a Duo with Seliph, and then in Engage he doesn't even represent Thracia 766, instead he represents Genealogy again.
Honestly, any remake of a game is perfectly fine for me but I would love a remake that combines Three Houses and Three Hopes while also solving some of the QOL changes that were missing in both games but that would be in the very far future.
I think Sacred Stones deserves a remake that adds more content to the base game, maybe with paralogues for the sacred twins, a more difficult late game, and maybe a dual army system like Echoes instead of a route split. It's my favorite game in the series, but it does feel somewhat unfinished.
@@TheNuts1225 I would say the same for any gba games and games before it as there is a lot to explore in the world building and characters. It also why I did not like Fates or Engage since I could not connect to world, characters or story of either game. Anyway, i do hope we get some good gba remakes
Fates deserves a Remake that fixes the story and the supports. I don't even think that Fates needs much to fix it, you just need to change the whole Crystal Ball thing, make it be a more character driven story giving more depht to them as a whole(Fates's main issue IT'S the characters not being fleshed out), give more gray nuances to the war, more information about that world and change some of the dialogue I don't think Fates would be entirely fixed of some of its questionable things in a Remake, but as long they expanded the characters and made them more likeable and deep(like Three Houses) while also making the conflict more nuanced (maybe, even change how Revelation happens) and changed some of the shittiest parts of the story Fates would probably be way more acceptable in the main story and make its characters way more endearing.
Honestly most of the character designs in Engage I dont like at all a lot of them are Overdesigned. Some of the standout looks i do like are Anna, Chloe, Diamant, Kagetsu, and Panette.
About getting a Fire Emblem in the top tiers of Smash, can't say we get to complain too much here. In Melee Marth was top 5, in Brawl Marth was top 5, in Sm4sh Marth was top 10 for a long time and is almost there still, and now in Ultimate Roy is generally considered top 10, out of 82 characters. I kinda tripped on the "who's the character IS has treated the worst" question... but hearing you say Eliwood, I have to say... I think I agree. The man's had it rough.
I would like it if they did what Fromsoftware did with Souls. In Fire Emblem, make one based in an entirely different era. Like Bloodborne, I think FE could use a different setting, maybe not Victorian, yet a completely different non-medieval time. I've been replaying Skies of Arcadia and someone mentioned Pirate-themed FE, maybe we could have one set in ancient Rome or a modern one like the Final Fantasy series with phones and holograms.
About Engage, I will say I love how the class types were balanced, and I think the mechanics of break and the different unit types should return. Still, I will fault Engage for msking support grinding unnecessarily complicated by preventing support grinding in Enemy Phase. Not to mention, the QoL changes for SP grindjng should have come much sooner. Either way, I feel the mid plot ruins the replayability for me, unlike with 3H. Hot take, but I think all FE games should take more after Three Houses when it comes to story and characters. I mean, not like blatant copying, but definitely its philosophy when it comes to building its characters and world in tandem with each other.
I love the monastery in Three Houses. It provides so much insight on the world. I don't get why people say it takes so much time. Honestly if I skip all the dialouge, it will take about 15 - 20 minutes for the whole month. What down time are you talking about?! Is 15 mintues that long?
I would love that since Shadows of Valentia felt like a breath of fresh air for me when compared to the modern fe games that were not Three houses, since these modern games felt like a tonal departure from older games.
About the 3 Houses hate. It was quick to die, but from time to time, you'll hear people talk about it. Effectively, what they were saying was that 3 Hopes makes 3 Houses a pointless game because the argument was that so many characters are better off in 3 Hopes that it makes it pointless to play 3 Houses, or that 3 Hopes is only has no ending because of it did the world would have been better off than it was in 3 Houses, and the KT devs stated that that was what they wanted to avoid.
> how do you get time to read the skills in summoner duels that's the neat part, you don't. You really gotta either already know, wing it, or have matchup experience. You could try reading Duo Ephraim's refined Reginleif… or you could, you know, actually take a turn 'cause that's definitely mucho texto that for some reason they thought it was necessary to define the "Bonus" keyword twice. I'm not kidding.
8:28 Funnily enough my experience with Relay Battles was literally just me discovering a strategy to beat it in 2 turns solo so that I could get some of those really OP drops like stat boosters on Maddening which prevents grinding since it basically just lets you game the system. It's nice to get such OP rewards, but it's sad that my favorite part of the premier co-op mode was just finding a way to do it solo...
Remake I would like would be FE 4 and 5 as one game but due what they did with Echoes and split the routes until they meet up in canon. New game I would like to see a game with more Native American influences as many of the nomadic trooper characters, like Souix, were named after tribes from America and Canada A crossover I'd like would be FE meets Pokémon since the fans of the franchises are oftentimes the same people. And once again, I'm the guy who can't take the more hardcore fans seriously since I'll openly invite outsiders to join in the community. Screw you you elitist idiots. :p
Yes!! got my question and in the begenning not the less XD, i would have to agree, a fighting game with FE characters would be awesome and also any remake would be great for me since i'm new in the fandom
There’s a few different interpretations in the comments, but I think the 3H hate question is mostly referring to a recent rise in elitism, ie 3H fans not being “real fire emblem fans” and that sort of thing. It’s sort of like how big corners of the persona fandom hate Persona 5/P5 fans because it was the game most people liked, or the most “mainstream” game. This escalated especially after Engage, because 3H fans seemed quickest to criticize Engage due to high expectations for the story/art, where other fans, especially big fans of engage, considered Engage a return to form, due to a dislike of the story/character prominence of 3H that 3H fans liked.
@@EXchoco Zelda went through the same thing after Breath of the Wild released. People played that game first, so what? Why do people need to have such superiority complexes over something else?
@@AkameGaKillfan777I don’t know. Maybe it stems from an honest protectiveness of the franchise/not wanting it to change even if most people feel it’s for the best? But maybe that’s giving too much grace.
@@EXchoco Even then, why is Engage of all games being overprotected in that manner? The game that goes out of its way to be as non-FE as possible in nearly every aspect, and the gameplay isn't as perfect as they claim it is, unless they actually want the RNG Gacha mechanics to return and have every entry to just be a glorified Heroes advertisement with 0 post-game or replayability content.
Thats an interesting thought. As far as sequels go, Awakening and Engage are kind of left in the air after the final boss if that makes any sense. Both of these games end in such a standard way that it is very possible for a sequel to be made if IS so chooses to do so. In fact, I almost kind of want an Engage sequel just to see if IS will inprove or expand on any characters that I feel deserves more time in the sun (Literally all four of the crowned nobles comes to mind. Especially Diamant who I felt deserves his own game, or at least more involvement with the story after the Brodia arc was done.) With that being said, im actually more curious if a fe game will get rebooted more then remade. Even though Fates writing can be terrible at times, the concept overall is soild, it was just exucuted poorly. Thats the game I personally want to see redone because there is so mucj potential with that idea. It just wasnted cooked long enough and apparently from what I read. The writer creating the world had a 500 page manuscript and half of it was cut out. If thats the case, just make a bigger game instead of 3 smaller ones if that makes any sense. Im not sure how it would be done but it would be cool to see.
Let’s see pretty much marth , marth , marth , a possible Ike sequel , also when I say marth I’m taking about his constant growing lineage remember we halted grima , and lucina will no doubt have future descendants if not there’s also characters like alm that exist , so to say there are prominent hero’s in Marths time/era is nothing to ignore and the fact the draco falchion is still out there in a sense , all and all there’s no way they aren’t gonna go past where awakening left off but of course just as awakening was in itself we won’t see this gem of a game till a series celebration or no lie 10 years down the line depending how fire emblem stands by then. Outside of my pointless rant / reason Legitimate games we can see to come is a fe 4 it’s been hinted at for too long , and possibly hw . Honestly the gba games getting remakes would be a god send too but before that we still have a few to go aside 4 before we hit that territory Edit: food for thought imagine a fusion of the exalted blade and Draco falchion 🥶 ain’t no dragon outside of Naga or the creation of dragons in their essence will be able to even stand against a weapon like that , grima best stay as a roaming force/soul
I would like a Sequel to Sacred stones, or Blazing sword. I feel like Sacred stone definitly has room for a future game and they have a lot of really good characters. And I really want blazing swords to have a sequel because I want Nino to be in it. She has to get a happy ending eventually. . .
Me while playing 3 houses: "DUDE, WHERE'S MY RESPECT? Nobody cares about the goddess, they're all lusting after Rhea!" Me while playing FE Engage: "STOP RESPECTING ME. You're probably more mature/experienced/powerful than Alear until I get a few lucky level ups lmao" I kinda want a game that strives to exist somewhere in the middle.
Doubt you'll remember this by the next ask Ghast, or the fe7 changes video you mentioned but if we had a remake of either fe6 or 7, would you like it to be one game and the children in fe6 were changeable like awakenings children or separate games entirely?
To add insult to injury, Eliwood is generally better in Sword of Seals, where he is a generic paladin that is only playable in the trial maps, but even as a sick, middle-aged man, he is still better than his Blazing Blade appearance.
What Fire Emblem deserves a sequel? Well, any Fire Emblem that leaves an open-ended ending (oxymoronic, I know), would be good. Gen 3 of FE4 would be interesting to see, considering Kaga's plans...
A sequal to Awakening that takes place around the same time as Chrom appears in his cyl design in FEH would be cool. We never found out what specifically happened to Alms falchion although it was most likely lost in the schism so perhaps finding out that Alm had another descendent besides Walhart that eventually finds and wields falchion would be cool. The game could have him and some new characters join up with Chrom's army to stop someone trying to bring back Duma or maybe even a corrupted Mila. It could even have a supblot with them suffering backlash from Walharts reign and trying to prove to valms people that he's nothing like him.
I figure a follow up Fodlan game would be similar to what they did with Three Hopes: Change the gameplay style, and have new pathways for each Lord or other major characters, following another potential outcome. Specifically, I think it'd be a fighting game, with a couple characters from each house/the Church/Agarthans. As for character options, definitely at least one representative from every major class, but for specific characters, definitely include: Byleth, Shez Rhea, Seteth, Catherine, Shamir Edelgard, Hubert, Dorothea, Petra Dimitri, Dedue, Felix, Ingrid Claude, Holst, Lorenz, Lysithea Thales, Kronya, Nemesis, Epimenides (On the bubble are Ferdinand (RIP), Jeritza, Jeralt, Alois, Cyril, Judith, Nader, Leonie. And I wish I had more commoners to choose from.) Hmm... Actually, maybe this would work with a primary fighter and a Support character. No, no particular recent fighting game inspired that idea, it's just something that works in a couple series, going back at least to MVC1.
in theory, i like laguz type cast members. but in practice, being useless for half the turns is horrid, and even in games where they didnt have like that awakening, i dislike the lack of weapon options. i like the part of the game where, for example, you cant quite kill with an iron axe but can with a silver but potentially lose hit rate so you gotta take that risk or give them hit rate buffs with skills/support etc. laguz cant do that cuz they just have 1 weapon option.
I think FE PvP could be fantastic, and I’d love that to be a thing. Yes cheating/hacking was always a problem, but if done right I think that it could be a great way for players to test their own skills against each other.
Also, I can see why people like Dorathea but I just don’t like her much, nothing wrong with you if you do like her. I have several problems with her but a big one is that she thinks and acts like she knows so much about the world and how it works. I’m sorry no you don’t. You only know about the people and nobles from one city on one country in one continent and even then it’s shown that you misjudged at least one person. I don’t remember her ever being truly called out on that. I don’t think there was a moment where she realized her worldview was flawed or at least challenged. If there was something like that (more than just her conversation with Ferdinand) I’d like her more. Again nothing against those who like her but I dont
For any FE game that will get a sequel, it will be Engage due to having major main characters missing in the first entry and the bad ending exists in the game (which is your typical "to be continued" bad ending,) which didn't get a follow up story in the DLC so it's likely that we get a sequel of Engage. I do like see another Fodlan saga continuation though either a sequel, prequel, or a what if scenario so I respect it.
@@AkameGaKillfan777 If I had to venture a guess to what a sequel to Engage would have story wise, I'd go with the dragon tribe that tried to wipe out Sombron's Fell Dragon comes to Elyos to kill Veyle and Alear and take the Emblem ring/ bracelets for "their power being misused" but are actually even worse than Sombron when it comes to motivation as they are basically Nazi Divine Dragons.
This is probably irrelevant but I wanted to say it cuz I could: My dumbest pet peeve with engage is that despite being a dargan and having Le dargan rock around somewhere (dunno if spoilers are an issue so I’m not saying much about it but yeah I know the justifications) you don’t get to turn into a dragon. It drives me CRAZY for some reason… idk I just kinda feel like… CHEATED somehow by that. Like I said it’s totally petty but DAGNABIT I WAS TOLD I WOULD BE A DRAGON AND I DONT SEE NO DRAGON HERE!
They literally teased at the idea of Alear turning into a dragon and left it super suggestive that it would happen in one of the later Brodia chapters. Either they ran out of budget to do that, or someone failed their chekov’s gun theory. Engage can’t set up and pay off conflict for the life of it 😭
I have a good question that most might not think of. What character or characters would better fit another game than the one they are in? Such as would ignatz be a better fit in engage or something like that.
Things i wish theyd give back for future fe games Hub world. That's fun and engage and 3 houses both almost got it perfect. A mix of both would be fine same with fates like customize Avatar characters i like but wish they weren't the mc and more like kris and robin where they play the support as that's what we are doing anyways and magic is cool with robin Amiboo system. Wish they'd make it like fates again as it was a great way to get extra units story and battles on top of extremely unique classes Route stories im either or on. I want them to be unique like fates bur well written like 3 houses aside the repeat storylines. Don't make rhe same maps please Wish the healers would get a magic spell 1 range instead of physical like engage. It was one step away from perfection. Imagine lissa with magic she'd be a beast by chapter 5. Would love another else world fe game like steam and the idol game. It's cool
I hope fire emblem keeps the special attack animations from engage. Not only does it double as marketing content but just visual flare. Also they take a page out of project x zone series and can have characters pair up with each other through supports and story events for more aoe attacks. Or implant them into remakes. For example if the geneology remake is real in the prolouge have sigurd and quan perform override together in a scripted scene to show off the machanic and more character building between the two.
I personally think a 3H Sequel isn't actually that hard to make. For ease of programming, though, it probably needs the same threat for all three routes (Epimenedes, a Dagdan invasion, some completely new threat) at least at the beginning but use that same conflict to explore how differently the worlds post-reforms as Fodlan reacts and we see how things have developed and has different missions based on hanging plot threads from the different routes (like Almyran characters being a big part of a VW world, TWISTD returning post-AM under new leadership in some way, or CF having some unique focus on a world with Crests removed). You still get a lot of shared missions in the lead-up as they establish the threat, but with different cutscenes and characters, then hit a point in the story where things branch off in more unique ways as the world situation is different. Sort of parallel timelines dealing with the same problem. It does mean either putting in canon relationships or just having only a small number of returning characters (The Lords, a couple chosen for plot reasons, etc.) and having Byleth/Protag lead a different set of characters that could be unrelated or siblings/cousins or whatever the case. Fodlan has a ton of noble houses that we know the names and territories of thanks to Hopes, it wouldn't be that hard to add, like, Balthus's brother or something as a unit.
Do you like this format of Ask Ghast?
Its pretty great but I feel like its a bit too short to get your thoughts across and it would be good to lengthen it in my opinion
I think it’s good, plenty of channels who have to deal with long spans with no content do this sort of commentary series. I agree with eternal. I think you should give yourself more time to answer certain questions, and as a result maybe have less questions in the video.
Giving yourself time to answer these in detail is a really good idea. One thing I would suggest is trying to slow down your speaking. It sort of feels like the video is set at 1.25 or 1.5x speed at times. Still, it's a fun listen, and thank you for answering my question!
Yeah, absolutely!
It seems to me like a much calmer experience for you as well, being able to think about your answers without any pressure and having more control in general.
It's definitely just as enjoyable as the usual format. :D
Personally, I'm quite happy to watch long, in-depth videos about a single topic - but if fans are asking you so many questions that you can't give them the full treatment, I think this format is a pretty good way of answering them! And if people crowd the comments saying how much they'd like to see a full-length discussion on a subject, well, you can always do that later...
What if Fire Emblem Awakening had a prequel manga series that explores each of the characters of that game like Chrom, Gaius, Cordelia, Tharja, Lon’qu, Cherche, Henry and Stahl? We get to know more about their families, back stories and connections to the other characters. Plus I would be nice to see a Robin manga prequel and just have them be a set of twins, both male and female. We can explore more on what it was like for Robin to grow up. What was his/her mother like? And who raised them after she died?
a geomancer type class where you could create terrain impassable by ground units, douse units and limit their movement while also leaving them weak to ice or lightning magic, or create a patch of earth that heals allies would be pretty cool. also maybe a hunt master class that utilizes a pet to do occasional damage and has combat arts that utilizes certain ones, would be another ranged class.
when i think of a FE fighting game i immediately think of the Granblue Fantasy one. As cool as it would be to have it be made, i feel like it'd die out like most fighting games after the initial buzz.
FE Three Houses needs a sequel!😄WE NEED IT!
Byleth having kids and Shez being the antagonist? That sounds good!
Keep this in mind that Byleth was the antagonist in Three Hopes! >.> ( Soo... why not? Shez being the antagonist for Three Houses sequel! That sounds good! )
Evil Shez messing up with the multiverse and the timelines!😂 SOUNDS GOOD!
Fr 😭
An FE fighting game would go so hard thank you
Don't say it... don't say it...
That's just smash
Soul Calibur is a pretty good substitute
they easily have lords or villains for EVERY archetype, even including a composite character (theres one in FG existence being double from skullgirls) with alear and a puppet character with any sort of mechanist or even Jedah who could summon witches.
@@malcovich_games
As cool as some of the characters in Soul Calibur are, they don’t compare to Fire Emblem characters.
@@westonmeyer3110FE vs SC would go hard. Or a Nintendo vs Namco game with the same aesthetics and gameplay as SC. Both sides have more than enough series and characters for a full roster.
I feel like a Three Houses sequel would work if it is set in the lands outside of Fodlán.
Hortensia turned me around as well. Combined with Panette they made me reevaluate why I dislike Peri. I thought it was design and voice nope it was that combined with her pychopathic personality. Next time a unit looks like that I won't be as dismissive.
P.S. Sakurai Would totally spoil Black Knight's identity with a red armor helmetless alt.
Heroes did so already so Smash would too
The monastery is tough because I feel like its so, so, SO important to the emotional beats of the story as well as aspects of the gameplay that flesh out the world and play a big role in showing, not telling. I’m coming at it from a perspective of liking the monastery because I love listening to the character dialogue and I really don’t see what all the trouble is in getting through it quickly while considering what you need for your next battle (I’m on my…7th maddening? And I’m still having fun with it), but for so many people to struggle with it, I don’t think it’s something I’d want to just call a difference of opinion. There is something to be done with it to make it more fun for all players, even those who enjoy it. I don’t think that’s making it optional, because again it’s very important to 3H and a big part of its identity, but rather making it more relevant and fun in a few ways with hindsight and more budget, both visually and mechanically. Im hoping for that sort of thing in a hypothetical 3H definitive.
Thank you so much for putting this out there! I totally agree. I bonded very quickly with the monastery, and it's why I was able to so quickly emotionally invest in the story. The 3 Hopes base camps just weren't the same.
Garreg Mach was basically all my childhood associations with Hogwarts, but better.
The problem is doing calculations for optimal meals and other activities, tea answers, and so on, as well as teaching options. Having a good "optimize" button and an option to just skip the monastery and get a simplified menu would help
Edit: I guess what I'm trying to say is, I like the world building aspect of the hubs, but hate how it feels like I have a bunch of chores to do before moving on to the next chapter. Also, making all the little minigame things be purely for fun and not do anything is another option for "fixing" the hubs
@@reidskull5018 In my opinion, those calculations (in 3H at least) is a big part of the gameplay-more the gardening for stat boosters, sauna for units falling behind or who need more skills for more strict classes, Byleth’s skills in order to recruit favorite units before the timeskip while balancing your limited time ofc as opposed to the tea times and such, which are less useful and more optional-considering how its gameplay is so tightly tied to unit building, commitment to builds, and building a diverse army with strong utility to work around unexpected scenarios in battle. At least in maddening, and the beginning of hard if you’re a new player. So for me, in terms of gameplay, I view the monastery as another part of the battle. I find it very satisfying to watch the units grows as well, and of course all that is very important to the story, and selling the whole academy/professor idea. All that is why I’m really against the idea of removing it/making it basically purposeless in gameplay. It separates the story and gameplay where I feel like they otherwise elevate each other. That said it’s totally true that it needs to be better, even I have little ideations of a cooler monastery haha. I just think the way to do that is to make the activities more entertaining, more relevant to the core gameplay and less…just pressing a button, and it happens. That way it’s at least as high quality, even if it’s not for some people.
@@reidskull5018 That makes the minigames considerably more boring, in my view. It's why the Somniel generally missed IMO.
Also, doing the calculations added some more personality to the characters in gameplay, and I personally found the gardening calcs kinda fun. I even made a basic Python program to calculate the overall score of a set of seeds.
I do get why some people who don't like fun would want the simplified menu option.
You’re right about the monastery being essential to Three Houses story and characters skipping it heavily hurts the game but going through it is a miserable experience that hurts the game too
there is absolutely 0 reason that all of the monastery can’t be done fast through a menu and even then the game should just stop having you teach stuff to everybody when the war starts with only some private tutoring so you can meet the final class benchmarks and only one week in between battles, it’s also completely stupid to go back to the monastery in a very clearly linear invasion
A Fire Emblem fighting game is what I want so badly! I have so many ideas for characters and mechanics already. But I don't think it would sell well, if I'm being honest. Most FE fans are probably more into slow-paced games and fighting game enthusiasts aren't really drawn in by a FE roster.
Me, which favorite games are Street fighter and Fire emblem: 🧐🐓🐣
Me who is a blazblue, uni, and fire emblem fan 🧐🧐🧐
@@commanderryu7554 Me who is a King of fighters and Fire emblem fan ( I would definitely main Felix btw)
I mean the whole reason why Fire Emblem has so many characters in Smash is to sell more copies, so I think it’d work
rpg's and fighting games are like my two favorite genre's (i include tactical rpg's and rpg's in the same category) I would also love a fe fighting game but I would base it of only 1 game because it's almost impossible to make fans happy otherwise and a lot of characters would just feel the same because we would need all the lords in it and that would probably already be half of the roster.
Three Houses would probably work best with a midquel like thracia. Perhaps have Petra be the main lord clearing stuff up in Brigid
I feel like the issue with longevity for games like Engage in the minds of a fandom that specifically have good gameplay but not so good story is that stories are always unique, gameplay is always iterated. The goal of the next non-remake FE game will be to try trumping the gameplay of Engage, or at least making something that is just as good. You also have the issue that as a game gets less actively available most people will experience it through secondhand means, which is not so good for gameplay that isn't cool to watch (let's be real, watching fire emblem gameplay over actually playing it can be a bit of an acquired taste). That being said the emblems were pretty cool, and tbh I hope they do bring them back in SOME capacity if not in the next game, then in a future one.
And maybe because the " we can all agree this is the best gameplay in the series" drivel is dying off
Some thoughts - A Three Houses sequel would be better served by going off the Three Hopes timeline rather than the original game. Nothing ended conclusively in that timeline, so you could draw together these points somehow. I also think it would be great to explore the lands beyond Fodlan, they teased so much out in the scant lore, such as that wizard tower in the desert...
On silent vs active characters, I do like active characters, but only when written well. A poorly written, toothpaste haired active character will really turn me off a game. Silent characters are bland but safe. Though I did like Byleth. Probably one of the few silent characters that I did
In terms of the Guts vs Dimitri fight, the writer of the episode straight up said he scales to the Sothis flood, but it wasn't needed.
I’m sorry WHAT??!?! I can SEE the line of thought that leads to the wacky magic nuke stuff, (I disagree with it personally I think it’s kind of an outlier and explainable through not absurd power levels, but that’s just my opinion so whatever) but where in the name of GOD are they getting that from?
@@Lh0000 ironically you answered your own question. When fused, Byleth straight up gets Sothis's power, which is potent enough to flood continents, a feat supported by the Agarthans in "Romance of the World's Perdition" and how Shambala feels like it has an air lock. Also Arval and Epimenides nuts talk about flowing water and how Arval was almost lost to it. And in Azure Gleam, Dimitri can keep up with this Byleth in terms of strength.
In case your curious, another person that calc'd the feat found it needs something like 28 Petatons of TNT to pull off.
@@gratedshtick I mean, I don’t think that in any way correlates with actual combat strength, like if I can teleport objects with my mind and I teleport a meteor from the asteroid belt the size of texas am I as powerful as the meteor? We honestly don’t even know much about the context of that either she coulda made it rain for seven days or she could have spontaneously generated all the water just THERE instantly. It could have been instant, it could have taken her like a year. There just isn’t enough information to draw any conclusions from this
Completely disagree with you wbout hubworlds because I personally feel they need to be expanded and made more dynamic to make the world feel more alive. At best, there need to be options for teleporting to areas you've already visited. Toning down hubworlds would only serve to reverse the progress made by Three Houses.
For that to happen they need to make things that are exclusive to HUB Worlds that players actually want to keep partaking in.
@@AkameGaKillfan777 Kinda my point. The hub world loops should be less repetitive when it comes to unit and NPC dialogue, there should be a greater variety of hub world activities, and hub worlds need to take more after Garreg Mach as opposed to My Castle or the Somniel in the sense that they need to be real locations on the map as opposed to isolated floating castles.
I would not be surprised if Awakening got a sequel due to it's mark on the franchise. The way its universe is loosely connected to other games could lend itself to a fun narrative experience, and characters like Priam could be given a real purpose for existing.
I think honestly laguz were fun to use and should be brought back and custom characters should not be protagonist i think they should be like a side protag and after thinking on it engage story wasn't that bad in the grandscheme of fire emblem
14:30 this is something I've seen a lot where the main gripe people have is the gameplay being uninteresting due to the mostly-same maps. They also complain about the graphics and art, which I don't really get (imo the art style of 3H is a lot better than the cartoonish one of Engage), and the FEH players hate on 3H because nearly every special banner includes at least one character from the game. I even saw someone get angry because Cyril was the GHB unit for this year's CYL banner
I would love a game that remakes FE 6 and 7 together. Going from Eliwoods story to Roy seamlessly and better integrating the prequel story for more carry over I think would be brilliant.
Also making the FE6 kids be like in Awakening/Fates where different parents result with different stats and classes etc, as Eliwood can already marry different women depending on supports in the original.
@@V-Jes exactly what I was thinking. I truly think it's a golden idea to make the remake stand out from the originals in the best way possible.
I think a FE sequel based on the bad ending of Awakening could be interesting.
In the bad ending, Grima is implied to come back in 1000 years, meaning the heroes just made it someone else's problem, so we can explore the descendants of the Shepherds having to deal with Grima and eventually finding a way to put them down for good.
Honestly, instead of a three houses sequel, i can see a Three Houses Prequel going over Rhea and Jeralts story before/leading up to Byleths birth. Essentially the story revolving around what happens after Jeralt obtains the Crest of Seiros and his long life span.
^^^^!!! Or during the era with characters like Rodrigue, Lambert and Judith
Or the very predictable War of Heroes prequel. That would genuinely be interesting.
I feel any prequel from after the Crescent Moon War wouldn't quite work because it would necessitate putting too much action in that part of the timeline when most of the factions were relatively quiet.
@@EXchocoThat would be a good one, and it would be pretty nicely morally grey if it's during the Sreng war
Yo this is actually something I’d LOVE to see.
*I think a Three houses sequel is possible. Up to 4 In fact* Here's how:
1-3) Prequels Sothis-Agarthan war or Rhea war or any period after Rhea took power.
4) Actual sequal after 3H: Remember how in Dimitri's route the Agarthans survive? That can give us a canoncial ending that proceeds like this: Dimitri wins but a while after the Agarthands do a successful surprise attack with a Nemesis army and destroy everything, forcing Byleth to do a ritual to jump all the way back to the acadmey phase again. This time with all his future knowledge he starts to teach all 3 classes in a rotating fashion, allowing him to be a unifying force and trying to prevent alot of the conflicts from breaking out.
That would also allow to finally get supports between the house leaders and their retainers.
And if 4) has all 3 house leaders and nations surviving at the end that would even open the door for a sequel of the sequel.
every game can have a sequel, but not using the same characters. Every continent has a lot of lore to know, we don't have a world map for any of the games, just their continent. A want a FE where we actually get a world map. It doesn't have to be in a contemporary setting, the globalization started back in the XVI century; and in FE they have magic and stuff, so more easy.
My personal best idea for a sequel is awakening gaiden. The same way that awakening was a spiritual retelling of marth's story I'd love to see how that era rebuilds valentia/valm, either with a lost heir to walhart or something of the like. As far as characters making cameos, it'd be extremely easy to have virion, cherche, and say'ri play a role but it would be fun to potentially see the kids show up without their mommy/daddy issues or time travel chicanery drawing attention away from their core personalities. If set later enough in the timeline it would be even more fun to see the adult versions of the prime universe's kids show up as well, so much untapped potential with that
For the lord trio idk if it counts but gotta say Sigurd, Eldigan and Quan; absolute powerhouse major holy blood trio who trained together in their youth and all got completely shafted because they were too genuine and honourable for the world they lived in only for their sons to have to team up and sort out the affairs of the world they couldn't deal with themselves
An FE fighting game in the style of Soul Calibur would be really, really cool. There’s a lot of mechanical depth to work with there.
If Persona can do it, why not FE?
There's quite a range of turn-based games available these days, but I'm a fussy guy; I want something with a bit of character and/or story in addition to good gameplay. Knowing that a huge Fire Emblem fan recommends Lost Eidolons has certainly bumped it a few spots up on my wish-list!
The way to justify retaining Engage's gameplay elements already exists: just move all the effects onto the Battalions, adding a special mode for them named something like Muster. Engage skills are already Gambits, as referenced by Byleth himself stealing one of them for his super. Engage weapons could be turned into standard battalion-driven attacks, where e.g. instead of the main character attacking with their sword the armor corps rushes forward with their axes. Such a system also allows a finer control of power levels: you can reintroduce Authority and use it to gate certain powerful battalions or features, and the role of Bond Rings can be filled with generic low-tier battalions. Composing the system like this would also be very convenient for giving good effects to the enemy without needing excessive story explanation, and you can still have something like Ch. 17 happen by just having a map where the enemy runs lots of elite battalions in a scene meant to represent a massive all-out battle.
I think that the Tellius base camp mechanic was the best hub. You can still do stuff, but dont have to run aroubd looking at a map to find stuff or chase peiple down to chat.
You can also talk to people outside dlcs, which not only works because Ike is the leader and has to manage stuff with people, you get extra dialogue, you hear Muarim's (? the Laguz that joins with Tormod) backstory, and some other things
Also the songs used there work well when studying, working, etc
@@Fermin-hw5pd The only things i feel the tellius base camps were missing was some kind of training/missions to send units out on for loot or experience if u werent going to use them in the upcoming mission.
@@ianmckee4726 But there's bonus exp for that, which should have been limited to 1 level up per chapter per unit or something, but it's much quicker than grinding
@@Fermin-hw5pd I imagine these "side jobs" as a way for the peope you arent using to still earn their keep, ans the rewarss for thse missions eould be like star boosters or rarer weapons. They could even be a way to add the thr S rank weapons back into any remake withiut muking about in the base gsme too much. The XP and extra stst boosters would be there to help get your troops closer to that sweet lvl 20 transfer bonus for a RD remake. Mostly though Ike is running a business here, and if Volke and Zakarov are going to be eating his food thry need to chip in by raiding a weapon convoy or something.
"Treated like garbage in heroes"? Are we forgetting the fact that we got Legendary & Brave Eliwood in 2019?
If 3 houses had a sequel is should take place in another continent or be a prequel. Hell make a prequel where we see the fall of the agarthans and understand why they hate sothis show her at her worst.
If I could add anything FE related to smash I'd ad Briedablik as a sort of assist trophy like item. Imagine using that and summoning characters like Hel, Edelgard, Rhea,Caeda, palla and her sisters,
I wouldn’t say Eliwood was done horribly in Heroes as his Legendary and Young alts provide fantastic support but that’s kinda the problem as well. You’ll never see him face combat
His base form was also pretty good, specifically because the Durandal refines made him last longer than most other gen 1 unit. As a massive Eliwood fan, he's treated pretty well in feh, it's just Engage that did him dirty.
Thx u for answering my question ghast,❤ but ya The gacha game powercreep is bullshit, and games like that need powercreep but it's WAY to fast, like every 2 weeks, and the mode just wasn't that good,
Can't lie, I'm getting a kick out of your obsession with Eyvel--"me and Eyvel" as one of your fav FE relationships!
Ever since I played Radiant Dawn, I couldn't stop thinking of it's world revealing another continent, which Hatari is a part of. I've been wanting Intelligent Systems to make a game for that for years and still do. I know about the great flood but since Ashera and Yune weren't perfect, they were probably if not definitely wrong about only Tellius surviving. I picture this game happening in the new continent with a few visitors from Tellius.
On the topic of hub areas. I do like the idea of the monestary, especially doing a run through each mission to hear the lore tidbits and every characters thoughts on the next mission. But, is that enough to really make a hub area good enough? You could actually get the same in a small cutscene without much work (Since Fire Emblem cutscenes is just the character models against a mainted background anyways)
Which made me think of another game I really like: Valkyria Chronicles.
In that game the whole presentation happens through a book, and the "bub area" is just pages in that book, and from there you select what to do and get a short cutscene. It works pretty well, and is a lot smoother than having to run around a hub area. It also has the added benefit of linking together cutscenes etc. Especially Valkyria Chronicles 4 did it nicely with paralogue style missions and everything.
Would it be sufficient compromise for the "Hub" area to basically be a Map/"overworld" view instead?
(And only now do I notice that we have custom emoji from the pinned post. This is great.)
@@whiteraven1992 You would still need menus to navigate things though. With a map you'd probably have your base, and from that base you'd select options. The book in Valkyria Chronicles was a nice presentation of said menus. (Check the game out if you haven't played it).
Heck. Fire Emblem Engage has a book already in form of the character entry thing. Why not expand on that? The main benefit of the Monastery in Three Houses was that it also provided some "small talk about the upcoming mission." All the dialogue was also voice acted. So, I never really felt like that hub was bad. But, in Engage? Man I'm getting tired of the Somniels "mandatory" stuff. I would have much rather treat it a bit like the training in Three Houses. Select what party members is going to do what task, then get a small mongage of them doing it (such as picking fruit, swimming, caring for the animals, training in the areaa), and then we get the rewards.
All of that could be done from the map of course, but if you have to move the character from "place to place" to do each screen it's essentially just a fancy menu? I just really like the book presentation in Valkyria Chronicles.
FE3H probably can't do a sequel in the vein you proposed because of the relationship between Byleth's Crest of Flames and Crimson Flower's ending.
After the end of CF, we see the Crest of Flames in Byleth's chest melt away and their heart beating for the first time. This implies that Byleth has lost their status as Ascended/Nabatean and most fan theories involving this ending also point to this being their first time being able to be emotional. The imagery and its interpretation, at least in the West, is very much that of Byleth becoming mortal. So any CF sequel would almost guarantee that Byleth is aging.
Rather than a sequel, we still have tons of places we can explore in the broader world of Fodlan. Brigid, Dagda, Duscr, and Almyra could all serve as great settings for a Thracia/Genealogy situation. Or for Fodlan more proper, there's ~1500 years of history you could explore, such as the War of Eagle and Lion or the Leicester Alliance's original rebellion and occupation by Kingdom forces, the latter of which neatly divides into three parts of the factions we already know. While the outcome is already known in the sequel prequel's cases, setting it as far back as either event allows for individual dramatic elements and storytelling as well as tie-ins to the prequel sequel.
When it comes to capture mechanics, i would love it if we could capture more of the story relevant bosses and minibosses, but you had to do something VERY difficult in order to get them, like a really difficult paralogue you only have a small window to do so you can't just grind the difficulty out of it to get them at all, and then a small paralogue section of a later map to avoid that they have to leave you, like they have to go back home to save their family, but if you beat a specific map fast enough, you cut the attack short so their family isn't in danger anymore and they can stay...
If anything, i would like it if paralogues were integrated into main mission maps, where you get an extra unit tied to that paralogue on top of your existing deployment slots, but you in turn get an extra sidemission you must complete on a previously locked part of that map, basicly making a map with two main missions, both being failure conditions!
Tbh, if they made a sequel game in Fodlan, I'd want it to be far in the future or any time in the past.
I’m going to call my car Camus.
Honestly, i wish for a ArcSys Fire Emblem fighting game. Kinda like either Granblue Versus or Guilty Gear.
And yeah, yet another Muso, but with more mainline games involved, not just Shadow Dragon, Fates and Awakening or just Three Houses.
I’d love a Fire Emblem fighting game by Arc System Works.
I’d also love a proper “Warriors 2”, not just focused on Fodlan. I also like the idea of a “Five Faction” branched story; different campaigns led by the 5 lords [that the Jewels were gathered from] from the first FEW ~ also featuring characters from across the Jugdral, Elibe, and Tellius games.
4:33 I completely agree with Eliwood, but I'd also add Leif. He has 2 versions in Heros and is in a Duo with Seliph, and then in Engage he doesn't even represent Thracia 766, instead he represents Genealogy again.
Honestly, any remake of a game is perfectly fine for me but I would love a remake that combines Three Houses and Three Hopes while also solving some of the QOL changes that were missing in both games but that would be in the very far future.
I think Sacred Stones deserves a remake that adds more content to the base game, maybe with paralogues for the sacred twins, a more difficult late game, and maybe a dual army system like Echoes instead of a route split. It's my favorite game in the series, but it does feel somewhat unfinished.
@@TheNuts1225 I would say the same for any gba games and games before it as there is a lot to explore in the world building and characters. It also why I did not like Fates or Engage since I could not connect to world, characters or story of either game. Anyway, i do hope we get some good gba remakes
Fates deserves a Remake that fixes the story and the supports.
I don't even think that Fates needs much to fix it, you just need to change the whole Crystal Ball thing, make it be a more character driven story giving more depht to them as a whole(Fates's main issue IT'S the characters not being fleshed out), give more gray nuances to the war, more information about that world and change some of the dialogue
I don't think Fates would be entirely fixed of some of its questionable things in a Remake, but as long they expanded the characters and made them more likeable and deep(like Three Houses) while also making the conflict more nuanced (maybe, even change how Revelation happens) and changed some of the shittiest parts of the story
Fates would probably be way more acceptable in the main story and make its characters way more endearing.
@@renren47618 Honestly, just change the story and give Corrin a visible character arc while also building on the world itself
@@eternaldarklight8204enough fodland for now
I would love a third game set in Tellius. Even if they don't want to do sequels theres so much room for prequels
Radiant dawn remake, or at least por prequel
Honestly most of the character designs in Engage I dont like at all a lot of them are Overdesigned. Some of the standout looks i do like are Anna, Chloe, Diamant, Kagetsu, and Panette.
About getting a Fire Emblem in the top tiers of Smash, can't say we get to complain too much here. In Melee Marth was top 5, in Brawl Marth was top 5, in Sm4sh Marth was top 10 for a long time and is almost there still, and now in Ultimate Roy is generally considered top 10, out of 82 characters.
I kinda tripped on the "who's the character IS has treated the worst" question... but hearing you say Eliwood, I have to say... I think I agree. The man's had it rough.
Please ignore the last word of my question. I meant to say guard, just didn't pay attention and thought I'd typed it right 😢
Sacred stones definitely needs one
I would like it if they did what Fromsoftware did with Souls. In Fire Emblem, make one based in an entirely different era. Like Bloodborne, I think FE could use a different setting, maybe not Victorian, yet a completely different non-medieval time. I've been replaying Skies of Arcadia and someone mentioned Pirate-themed FE, maybe we could have one set in ancient Rome or a modern one like the Final Fantasy series with phones and holograms.
Fate did it and it’s visuals and chara design(for birthright) are absolute bangers
They should absolutely do it again
I’d like to see either a Three Houses sequel and/or FE 7 remade in the style of a Three Houses..
When Ghast mentioned liking Lost Eidolons I looked it up and it's 60% off on steam for the next couple days
I just want a backstory Shez 😭
True. This was such a missed opportunity in 3 Hopes...
Unfortunately, I don't think hub areas are going away.
About Engage, I will say I love how the class types were balanced, and I think the mechanics of break and the different unit types should return. Still, I will fault Engage for msking support grinding unnecessarily complicated by preventing support grinding in Enemy Phase. Not to mention, the QoL changes for SP grindjng should have come much sooner. Either way, I feel the mid plot ruins the replayability for me, unlike with 3H.
Hot take, but I think all FE games should take more after Three Houses when it comes to story and characters. I mean, not like blatant copying, but definitely its philosophy when it comes to building its characters and world in tandem with each other.
I love the monastery in Three Houses. It provides so much insight on the world. I don't get why people say it takes so much time. Honestly if I skip all the dialouge, it will take about 15 - 20 minutes for the whole month. What down time are you talking about?! Is 15 mintues that long?
Man, a sequel? Honestly, would love one for Shadows of Valentia.
I would love that since Shadows of Valentia felt like a breath of fresh air for me when compared to the modern fe games that were not Three houses, since these modern games felt like a tonal departure from older games.
There is one it's called Mystery of the Emblem and it takes place in Archanea
Cant wait for dumas cousin UMAS to wreck habock in valentia
Eh, that game kind of felt wrapped up in a tight little bow to me, I mean both of their dragons die by the end of the game
@@Edgeperor but what about the 3rd dragon?
About the 3 Houses hate. It was quick to die, but from time to time, you'll hear people talk about it. Effectively, what they were saying was that 3 Hopes makes 3 Houses a pointless game because the argument was that so many characters are better off in 3 Hopes that it makes it pointless to play 3 Houses, or that 3 Hopes is only has no ending because of it did the world would have been better off than it was in 3 Houses, and the KT devs stated that that was what they wanted to avoid.
> how do you get time to read the skills in summoner duels
that's the neat part, you don't. You really gotta either already know, wing it, or have matchup experience. You could try reading Duo Ephraim's refined Reginleif… or you could, you know, actually take a turn 'cause that's definitely mucho texto that for some reason they thought it was necessary to define the "Bonus" keyword twice.
I'm not kidding.
8:28 Funnily enough my experience with Relay Battles was literally just me discovering a strategy to beat it in 2 turns solo so that I could get some of those really OP drops like stat boosters on Maddening which prevents grinding since it basically just lets you game the system.
It's nice to get such OP rewards, but it's sad that my favorite part of the premier co-op mode was just finding a way to do it solo...
Remake I would like would be FE 4 and 5 as one game but due what they did with Echoes and split the routes until they meet up in canon.
New game I would like to see a game with more Native American influences as many of the nomadic trooper characters, like Souix, were named after tribes from America and Canada
A crossover I'd like would be FE meets Pokémon since the fans of the franchises are oftentimes the same people.
And once again, I'm the guy who can't take the more hardcore fans seriously since I'll openly invite outsiders to join in the community. Screw you you elitist idiots. :p
Yes!! got my question and in the begenning not the less XD, i would have to agree, a fighting game with FE characters would be awesome and also any remake would be great for me since i'm new in the fandom
There’s a few different interpretations in the comments, but I think the 3H hate question is mostly referring to a recent rise in elitism, ie 3H fans not being “real fire emblem fans” and that sort of thing. It’s sort of like how big corners of the persona fandom hate Persona 5/P5 fans because it was the game most people liked, or the most “mainstream” game. This escalated especially after Engage, because 3H fans seemed quickest to criticize Engage due to high expectations for the story/art, where other fans, especially big fans of engage, considered Engage a return to form, due to a dislike of the story/character prominence of 3H that 3H fans liked.
Recent? That’s been going on for over a decade now😂
@@qtpie1144 Toward 3H in particular let’s say haha
@@EXchoco Zelda went through the same thing after Breath of the Wild released. People played that game first, so what? Why do people need to have such superiority complexes over something else?
@@AkameGaKillfan777I don’t know. Maybe it stems from an honest protectiveness of the franchise/not wanting it to change even if most people feel it’s for the best? But maybe that’s giving too much grace.
@@EXchoco Even then, why is Engage of all games being overprotected in that manner? The game that goes out of its way to be as non-FE as possible in nearly every aspect, and the gameplay isn't as perfect as they claim it is, unless they actually want the RNG Gacha mechanics to return and have every entry to just be a glorified Heroes advertisement with 0 post-game or replayability content.
Thats an interesting thought. As far as sequels go, Awakening and Engage are kind of left in the air after the final boss if that makes any sense. Both of these games end in such a standard way that it is very possible for a sequel to be made if IS so chooses to do so. In fact, I almost kind of want an Engage sequel just to see if IS will inprove or expand on any characters that I feel deserves more time in the sun (Literally all four of the crowned nobles comes to mind. Especially Diamant who I felt deserves his own game, or at least more involvement with the story after the Brodia arc was done.)
With that being said, im actually more curious if a fe game will get rebooted more then remade. Even though Fates writing can be terrible at times, the concept overall is soild, it was just exucuted poorly. Thats the game I personally want to see redone because there is so mucj potential with that idea. It just wasnted cooked long enough and apparently from what I read. The writer creating the world had a 500 page manuscript and half of it was cut out. If thats the case, just make a bigger game instead of 3 smaller ones if that makes any sense. Im not sure how it would be done but it would be cool to see.
Let’s see pretty much marth , marth , marth , a possible Ike sequel , also when I say marth I’m taking about his constant growing lineage remember we halted grima , and lucina will no doubt have future descendants if not there’s also characters like alm that exist , so to say there are prominent hero’s in Marths time/era is nothing to ignore and the fact the draco falchion is still out there in a sense , all and all there’s no way they aren’t gonna go past where awakening left off but of course just as awakening was in itself we won’t see this gem of a game till a series celebration or no lie 10 years down the line depending how fire emblem stands by then. Outside of my pointless rant / reason
Legitimate games we can see to come is a fe 4 it’s been hinted at for too long , and possibly hw . Honestly the gba games getting remakes would be a god send too but before that we still have a few to go aside 4 before we hit that territory
Edit: food for thought imagine a fusion of the exalted blade and Draco falchion 🥶 ain’t no dragon outside of Naga or the creation of dragons in their essence will be able to even stand against a weapon like that , grima best stay as a roaming force/soul
I would like a Sequel to Sacred stones, or Blazing sword. I feel like Sacred stone definitly has room for a future game and they have a lot of really good characters. And I really want blazing swords to have a sequel because I want Nino to be in it. She has to get a happy ending eventually. . .
Me while playing 3 houses: "DUDE, WHERE'S MY RESPECT? Nobody cares about the goddess, they're all lusting after Rhea!"
Me while playing FE Engage: "STOP RESPECTING ME. You're probably more mature/experienced/powerful than Alear until I get a few lucky level ups lmao"
I kinda want a game that strives to exist somewhere in the middle.
Doubt you'll remember this by the next ask Ghast, or the fe7 changes video you mentioned but if we had a remake of either fe6 or 7, would you like it to be one game and the children in fe6 were changeable like awakenings children or separate games entirely?
To add insult to injury, Eliwood is generally better in Sword of Seals, where he is a generic paladin that is only playable in the trial maps, but even as a sick, middle-aged man, he is still better than his Blazing Blade appearance.
Grinding supports in FE7 😅
What Fire Emblem deserves a sequel?
Well, any Fire Emblem that leaves an open-ended ending (oxymoronic, I know), would be good. Gen 3 of FE4 would be interesting to see, considering Kaga's plans...
A sequal to Awakening that takes place around the same time as Chrom appears in his cyl design in FEH would be cool. We never found out what specifically happened to Alms falchion although it was most likely lost in the schism so perhaps finding out that Alm had another descendent besides Walhart that eventually finds and wields falchion would be cool. The game could have him and some new characters join up with Chrom's army to stop someone trying to bring back Duma or maybe even a corrupted Mila. It could even have a supblot with them suffering backlash from Walharts reign and trying to prove to valms people that he's nothing like him.
I figure a follow up Fodlan game would be similar to what they did with Three Hopes: Change the gameplay style, and have new pathways for each Lord or other major characters, following another potential outcome. Specifically, I think it'd be a fighting game, with a couple characters from each house/the Church/Agarthans.
As for character options, definitely at least one representative from every major class, but for specific characters, definitely include:
Byleth, Shez
Rhea, Seteth, Catherine, Shamir
Edelgard, Hubert, Dorothea, Petra
Dimitri, Dedue, Felix, Ingrid
Claude, Holst, Lorenz, Lysithea
Thales, Kronya, Nemesis, Epimenides
(On the bubble are Ferdinand (RIP), Jeritza, Jeralt, Alois, Cyril, Judith, Nader, Leonie. And I wish I had more commoners to choose from.)
Hmm... Actually, maybe this would work with a primary fighter and a Support character. No, no particular recent fighting game inspired that idea, it's just something that works in a couple series, going back at least to MVC1.
I feel like the biggest problem an FE Fighting game would face (if released now) is that its a switch locked fighting game that isn't smash.
This is what happens in fire emblem was hilarious. I hope you change your mind, it’s what got me to play sacred stones and Gaiden.
Off topic but just started your rom hack bloodlines incredible game 💪
My boy Hector should gets his own game and live this time
Just curious, but are you ever going to do a Claude analysis video?
I would like to see peony, triandra, nott and reginn in new fire emblem
1:23 You already have one. Super Smash Bros. Ultimate lol.
We definitely need more love for FE7 imo. Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
in theory, i like laguz type cast members. but in practice, being useless for half the turns is horrid, and even in games where they didnt have like that awakening, i dislike the lack of weapon options. i like the part of the game where, for example, you cant quite kill with an iron axe but can with a silver but potentially lose hit rate so you gotta take that risk or give them hit rate buffs with skills/support etc. laguz cant do that cuz they just have 1 weapon option.
Laguz having very limited 1-2 range doesn't help either. Hand axe dominates in Tellius
I think FE PvP could be fantastic, and I’d love that to be a thing. Yes cheating/hacking was always a problem, but if done right I think that it could be a great way for players to test their own skills against each other.
Also, I can see why people like Dorathea but I just don’t like her much, nothing wrong with you if you do like her.
I have several problems with her but a big one is that she thinks and acts like she knows so much about the world and how it works. I’m sorry no you don’t. You only know about the people and nobles from one city on one country in one continent and even then it’s shown that you misjudged at least one person. I don’t remember her ever being truly called out on that. I don’t think there was a moment where she realized her worldview was flawed or at least challenged. If there was something like that (more than just her conversation with Ferdinand) I’d like her more.
Again nothing against those who like her but I dont
For any FE game that will get a sequel, it will be Engage due to having major main characters missing in the first entry and the bad ending exists in the game (which is your typical "to be continued" bad ending,) which didn't get a follow up story in the DLC so it's likely that we get a sequel of Engage. I do like see another Fodlan saga continuation though either a sequel, prequel, or a what if scenario so I respect it.
I highly doubt that unless they have MUCH better advertising and a new cast
@@AkameGaKillfan777 If I had to venture a guess to what a sequel to Engage would have story wise, I'd go with the dragon tribe that tried to wipe out Sombron's Fell Dragon comes to Elyos to kill Veyle and Alear and take the Emblem ring/ bracelets for "their power being misused" but are actually even worse than Sombron when it comes to motivation as they are basically Nazi Divine Dragons.
16:30 Lindon for sure. I would say Zelkov aswell. And then in Fates Nyx and Benny. In Awakening Gregor.
Gregor is the GOAT.
2:04 indeed!💖 so happy to see appreciation for Eirika.
I want Augustria 775 with Ares as a lord.
This is probably irrelevant but I wanted to say it cuz I could: My dumbest pet peeve with engage is that despite being a dargan and having Le dargan rock around somewhere (dunno if spoilers are an issue so I’m not saying much about it but yeah I know the justifications) you don’t get to turn into a dragon. It drives me CRAZY for some reason… idk I just kinda feel like… CHEATED somehow by that.
Like I said it’s totally petty but DAGNABIT I WAS TOLD I WOULD BE A DRAGON AND I DONT SEE NO DRAGON HERE!
They literally teased at the idea of Alear turning into a dragon and left it super suggestive that it would happen in one of the later Brodia chapters. Either they ran out of budget to do that, or someone failed their chekov’s gun theory. Engage can’t set up and pay off conflict for the life of it 😭
@@EXchoco everyday I wake up and tell myself it’s fine it doesn’t bother me at all… but I AM LYING… and I don’t know how much longer I can keep it up…

I have a good question that most might not think of. What character or characters would better fit another game than the one they are in? Such as would ignatz be a better fit in engage or something like that.
Ignatz can stay in 3 Houses. Hilda and Constance can go to Engage. Diamant and Mauvier can come over to 3H.
@@AkameGaKillfan777 lol I was only using ignatz as an example
@@nathanmcclung3564 I know, I was just giving my take
Things i wish theyd give back for future fe games
Hub world. That's fun and engage and 3 houses both almost got it perfect. A mix of both would be fine same with fates like customize
Avatar characters i like but wish they weren't the mc and more like kris and robin where they play the support as that's what we are doing anyways and magic is cool with robin
Amiboo system. Wish they'd make it like fates again as it was a great way to get extra units story and battles on top of extremely unique classes
Route stories im either or on. I want them to be unique like fates bur well written like 3 houses aside the repeat storylines. Don't make rhe same maps please
Wish the healers would get a magic spell 1 range instead of physical like engage. It was one step away from perfection. Imagine lissa with magic she'd be a beast by chapter 5.
Would love another else world fe game like steam and the idol game. It's cool
Honestly, I want a game that combines the gameplay of fates but the story and character writing of three houses and tellius
I hope fire emblem keeps the special attack animations from engage. Not only does it double as marketing content but just visual flare. Also they take a page out of project x zone series and can have characters pair up with each other through supports and story events for more aoe attacks. Or implant them into remakes. For example if the geneology remake is real in the prolouge have sigurd and quan perform override together in a scripted scene to show off the machanic and more character building between the two.
I personally think a 3H Sequel isn't actually that hard to make. For ease of programming, though, it probably needs the same threat for all three routes (Epimenedes, a Dagdan invasion, some completely new threat) at least at the beginning but use that same conflict to explore how differently the worlds post-reforms as Fodlan reacts and we see how things have developed and has different missions based on hanging plot threads from the different routes (like Almyran characters being a big part of a VW world, TWISTD returning post-AM under new leadership in some way, or CF having some unique focus on a world with Crests removed). You still get a lot of shared missions in the lead-up as they establish the threat, but with different cutscenes and characters, then hit a point in the story where things branch off in more unique ways as the world situation is different. Sort of parallel timelines dealing with the same problem.
It does mean either putting in canon relationships or just having only a small number of returning characters (The Lords, a couple chosen for plot reasons, etc.) and having Byleth/Protag lead a different set of characters that could be unrelated or siblings/cousins or whatever the case. Fodlan has a ton of noble houses that we know the names and territories of thanks to Hopes, it wouldn't be that hard to add, like, Balthus's brother or something as a unit.
