Fire Emblem Enthusiasts unite! FE Wii screens (spoilers!)

[Kaiser Dragoon]

Okay, as the title says, there WILL be spoilers, but, I will try to keep them to a minimum. If you don't want Path of Radiance ruined for you in any way, shape, or form, then don't read on, for the rest of us, Lets talk!

Here are some New(ish) screens! (actually, I forgot to make a thread a while back when I found them :S)

RPG Gamer, actually Dengeki provided the screens, I just lost the addy ^^;;, has screens, several I want to point out and discuss with fellow Fire Emblem geeks, haha.

1.)Who is this I see in the background, surrounded by soldiers? Several of the people who played Path of Radiance will recognize this guy. Give you all a hint, the hero rejects help from him. Other than that, nothing special about that screen, just what looks like an army.

2.) Whoo hoo, looks like an old friend from Path of Radiance has returned, and is older. It's none other than Soothe! (I think )

3.) Another screen with Soothe, but who's the girl? I guess we will have to wait to find out, eh? I have a feeling, and more than likely, its the truth, but, I suspect shes a major (like MAJOR) character in the game.

4.) Once again, we see Sooth, the Mystery Girl, and what looks like an old Reyson. Not entirely sure about that, but, I am pretty sure he is part of the Heron clan.

5.) FINALLY! The screen I wanted to discuss, and has been burning the back of my skull with questions!

First off, notice, there is now proficiency in Daggers, and a Mystery weapon (that oddly angled star thing). There are several possibilities as to what the weapon group could be, such as throwing weapons (I don't find this very plausible) or weapons for the Laguz (which I find more probable). Next, notice, Dark magic has made a return! Finally! I was excited by this, as Shaman's and Dark Magics (some of my favorite characters were dark magic users) were completely cut from Path of Radiance. Rejoice, they have returned! Lastly, notice that the keys at the bottom of the screen? I didn't like this, but, I may be over-reacting. Looks like the Wii remote will not control the game, because I don't think there is an "Y" button on the Wiimote. This may change as the game becomes finalized, but, it may be that Wii users will be required to buy a Gamecube or Classic controller for the FE Wii game :/.

6.) Hm, not much of a change from the Gamecube Path of Radiance in terms of graphics... hopefully this will also change before production...Also, notice our lovely new mystery girl seems to be a mage.

7.) Whoa, this is new. Lets divert our attention to the upper left for a bit. First off, I see a big symbol for the Affinity "Heaven" (and in the next screen, you will see "Earth") Not sure how that affects gameplay, but, you can be sure I will offer my opinion! I think a plausible explanation for that is that depending on the affinity (per turn or map, not sure how that works) certain characters boasting the affinity, or are compatible with that particular affinity, get bonuses for that turn/map. Might add a different thing into the mix of possible strats. Next, still in that corner, notice there is several symbols underneath that affinity mark, the movement and defense are typical for that, like forests and forts, but, what is that magic circle thing? Not entirely sure...

Other than that, there looks to be pickups scattered around the map, and someone seems to be getting healed.

8.)Looks like the latter section of screen 6, and everything new has been discussed already (including the new mystery girl looking like a mage ^^)

9.) One of the strangest screens I have seen thusfar. It looks pretty typical... The boy seems to be a Myrmidon, there is health, shows what weapon they are using... but what is that bar under their health? Not entirely sure, once again, and I can't offer a good argument on that...


Anywho, happy posting, and ranting, or whatever ^^;; hopefully, I can find other FE fanatics nerdgazming over these screens too >.>.

Well, the main reason I question that "bar" is there is a counter next to it (the one that says "50"). It may be an add-on for health, it may be a magic meter, it may be a "limit break" or "berserk" meter. Whatever it is, I have a feeling it's going to play a vital role in gameplay.

Back in Fire Emblem: Rekka no Ken, the magic affinity "chart" was completely different than in the move to the Gamecube. For one, the magic affinity consisted of dark, light, and anima, where, dark beat anima, anima beat light, and light, of course, circled around and beat dark. In Path of Radiance, they completely cut Dark magic out of the picture, and actually gave some of the spells to light magic users (Nosferatu was originally a "Dark" magic spell, for the obvious reason that it sucked life), and Anima was busted into three catagories, Fire, lightning, and wind. Light was actually bastard childed out and has no affect on the magic triangle. The reason I loved Shamans and Dark Magic so much is they were the powerhouses of the GBA games, in terms of magic. Their spells were the strongest and the upgraded version (the druid) could easily break 30 magic even, and usually have the resistance to back it up. (30 was the max stat on all the GBA titles, which was changed to slightly higher values in the GCN game.)

Anyway, I have hit my quota in Nerd for this thread ^^;;

HOLY HELLLLLLLLLLLLLLL... I LOVE YOU NOW DARK DRAGOON!

Pound my brother into the ground in your match now for all I care.

These screenshots look awesome, look at how big that little annoying never used thief has become!!

Im afraid though I dont quite recongnise the first person, you'll have to refresh my memory!

Yes, I love the heron Clan, I may put a picture on my Signature of the two survivors actually, that sounds like a good idea.

That cutscene does look like it would kick some serious ass as a video, I cant wait I cant wait I cant wait. THough I do miss Marth... He should be a recruitable sub-char again, fun times.

I love the heron clan, that picture is im my head now... I love it.

Just looking at the pictures of battles makes me excited, I cant wait.

Screenshot 6 is just the main character fighting sombody with the fights cutscene thing on, isnt it? Perhaps not... Cos it seems Sooth and that girl play lead roles, a strange one.

More of the beast clan are back as well, though that clan got slightly irritating because they loved themselves the side-story was awesome.

... OMG! Dark Dragoon... Marry me... . lol
