Board 8 > Fire Emblem Shadows announced, out tomorrow.

(+) Yeah! (+)

What

https://www.nintendo.co.jp/corporate/release/en/2025/250925.html

What

Ah, my favorite genre, Real-Time Tactics and Treachery

Huh. Well uh...maybe I'll give it a shot.

What the hell?

what

'but where's my pokemon colosseum shadow drop' etc etc

is this...fire emblem among us?

No gacha, no play

Interesting???

Trust no one - can you poison the mutton?

it's out right now, i'm playing it

from what I see, everyone automatically moves and does normal moves while also being able to target others with skills, and traitors can utilize friendly fire and traitor-unique shadow spells to sabotage the fight

dead characters can still use abilities, and guessing the traitor right gives you more autorevives for the players-vs-traitor fight

What

I can't believe they made a game based off of this old commercial

Now you get to question, what happened to Dorcas?

20 minutes in and it's dangling microtransactions and battlepasses in front of me already

lmao dmitri and lyn are gacha characters

They had like no faith in this right? This was sent out to die.

If this were any other franchise then internet people would have lost faith in it a decade ago. Not sure how it continues to hang on to its reputation.

Three Houses is the most popular game in the series and Engage is the best playing game in the series. And despite how much I don't care, Heroes is an enormous success. It's been doing pretty darn well!

feels like this is gonna last as long as that bofuri tower defense game did, which is to say, less than a year

Is Horsegirl Lyn on the pass banner because Umamusume

The feeling I get is they regret ever greenlighting it and shadow dropped it just to make what money they can out of the fanatics before letting it die.

Seeing how DeNA is one of the developers, it could very well be a contractual obligation.

I guess the pocket change made from Pokemon TCG Pocket funded this game.

Also I played FE Heroes for like two days before I bailed and I've never felt reason to regret that tbqh

I was all the way down the FEH rabbit hole for years.

Fond memories, yes. But you made the right call to get out when you did. I honestly cant even imagine what that game must be like today given how absurd it was when I finally bowed out.

Although I am still quite proud of the inspiration I got to pair the Death Knight with the pirate hat accessory. This Pirates of the Caribbean Grim Reaper look is still amazing.

I remember when people thought that theyd never add Swift Sparrow as a seal because it was too strong. Sheesh.

I only installed it since I vowed to do so if Gatekeeper got added to the game.

I did, rolled for him, played some levels, and bowed out.

tbh I still have fun with heroes, but I know my limits and don't push it. I'm the rare noncompetitive gamer though so still on the fence about this one. It's free but it doesn't look great.

I dropped Heroes not long after they added Tokyo Mirage Sessions characters, having burned through almost all my amassed (free, thankfully) orbs trying to get Tsubasa. Made me realise how vile gachas are when you actually want a specific thing rather than just "I wonder if I'll get something good this time".

A sparking system got added about 3 months after that banner so that's some unfortunately luck. There are a lot of limitations to the system, but if it was in place Tsubasa would have been guaranteed within 195 Orbs. And speaking of Tsubasa, she's the front runner to win CYL10 female side in a few months. >_>

Surely Engage doesn't get shut out again. Surely.

FW getting announced is probably the best thing to happen to Engage. I feel like Ivy was on route to cruising to another loss before the announcement. "This is her last chance for years" might light a fire under the fanbase to try and at least get someone in.

I play heroes literally only for the gacha endorphin rush. I haven't played the actual game, and I have 2600 free orbs built up.

So you're telling me that Anna is never reaching Lv4. >_>

I had been out of the game for a few months, then came back to pull for CYL Soren in whichever CYL event that was (I want to sayCYL 6?). Got him to +10, then dropped the game.

Did they ever put in a way to get merges on the Askr trio?

Hmph, why don't they make more furries for ZZZ instead?

I never understood the appeal for Dmitri from my fellow girlies ...until now.

I finally caved and downloaded the game because why not? At worst I'll just waste some of my time. I've only played a little but it's more complex than I expected. I guess that's what happens when a game gets panned so much combined with me being more of a casual gamer.

That's almost as much a Dr. Mario World:

Also, this is a good line from the Pocket Gamer article:
"It is possible, therefore, that Lyns new Shadows design has already earned more in Fire Emblem Heroes gacha than it has in Shadows own season pass."

Frankly they should just merge this entire game into Heroes as a mode or something??

I didnt even know this game was a thing until I saw this thread just now.

Also, I think those numbers are telling. FE really isnt popular like it used to be 5 to 10 years ago.

Oh you can't blame FE for this tanking at all.

This tanked because it had zero marketing, isn't an FE game, and SUCKS.

Yeah this isn't an indicator of Fire Emblem AT ALL.

Didn't even get a proper announcement from Nintendo. You not even knowing this game exists is an indicator of that.

This game will probably only last a year if that. That said, if this game ends up getting an offline mode, I'll be a tad bitter since Dragalia Lost didn't.
