Wow. The only FE game I ever played was the first one released in the west for the GBA, and this doesn't look anything like the FE I remember. Was there a gradual change or is this something new to this generation?
The PS1-era graphics don't make the characters very enticing. They just look like love-dolls made of paper. They could've had a better result by making 2D animations, or even 2D still images. It makes me wonder what's the point of it, or whether it's supposed to be a ironic.
Knowing my anime tropes, I'm guessing that the sister is adopted. They always are. Unless we're in niche hentai territory.

I played the last Fire Emblem to come out before this one and this feels like a pretty shocking swerve to me.Doom972 said:
Got me there. I'd be up for it if it furthered the characters but that's obviously not it.
50/50 on the sister. There's an adopted sister and a biological one and I just realized the article doesn't confirm which is which. Though considering that the article says it's borderline incestuous...well, the implications are pretty clear.
This does not belong in a Fire Emblem game. What the holy fuck were they thinking? I'm surprised Nintendo signed off on it.
Edit: I am reading that touching below the character's face was just a rumor and has been debunked. Still weird as fuck though lol.
Edit Edit: Getting contradicting reports on the above. While I was digging around I found out that apparently on the Hoshido side you have a ninja chick who can "persuade" PoWs to join you side. Basically she bangs them off camera (lewd voices can be heard) and they join your side.
Something tells me IS doesn't have a working definition of "rape", because DAMN. That's seriously sad.

Is this such a shock, coming from Japan? The country where they segregate men & women in different train cars 'cos groping?
Ironically that edit actually makes it look like she's mooning him.Aerosteam said:
And yeah you're probably right. This is gonna sound cruel to the devs but, "and nothing of value was lost"
Ayyyyyyyy what's wrong with Tharja? I liked her as a pairing, the whole weird, creepy, clingy, slightly yandere wife was a nice change from standard romance stuff. Weird is good, weird is never boring.erttheking said:
OT: Fuckin' whatever, the feature is a bit odd for a Fire Emblem game I suppose but I really don't mind. I've seen worse (so much worse) and I can't help but smile when people get really mad at this stuff. Stripping and touching is definitely the tamest thing i've seen sex-wise from Japan by a mile.
Going? It's been there for YEARS. And the funny thing is the series is STILL more compelling than 90% of the other dross out there that tries too damn hard.Panthera said:
I'm guessing that this is one of the earlier titles. I don't recall this game. I was thinking about graphics like in Tekken 3, which resemble the graphics in the screenshots the OP provided.Tilly said:Haha I love how when people see relatively bad graphics they compare it to PS1 era.Doom972 said:
This is PS1 (yes, this single picture represents the entire console):
Ditto. Even in that beach/ summer DLC, they changed the dialogues bewtween Tharja and Nowi (Nowi mention to Tharja that she is the most "bouncy" out of the girls and changed it to her having the most silky hair).Aerosteam said:This won't make it overseas, at least in America. Look at a piece of artwork from the last game:
If they hid Tharja's ass behind a curtain, like hell they'll allow groping or whatever to make it to America.
At the most they probably censor the clothing or rather they covered it up in that when you strip them down, they will be wearing a full bra as oppose to skimpy one shown in that link (like they did with Bravely Default).
And after years of saying that Awakening wasn't so bad and that the whole pairing was more a nice nod to Fire emblem 4 rather then Otaku pandering...I just have to be a champ and admit that I was wrong.Panthera said:
This pandering really is over the top and yeah, looking back Awakening wasn't a good sign.
I'm pretty sure this whole creepy skinship thing won't make it through the censors though.
Awakening waaaaaayyyyy stepped up the goofy anime cliches and shipping. By a mile. By two miles. Three miles? Do I hear four, anyone got four, FOUR MILES! Whether you like it or dislike it is beside the point.Aiddon said:
As for being compelling, nah, Awakening was disappointing and the new one isn't sounding all that good to me either.
