Would you rather see future Fire Emblem titles take the Final Fantasy route or the Dragon Quest route?

Depends on what game of the series is being kept the same in DQ fashion.

I'm all for more games mechanically like the GBA era!

But I want to veer as far away from the 3DS era as possible.

final fantasy is very far from experimental, especially in story

gameplay has some variance, but it just changes the same feature to be slightly different. it's comparable to how etrian odyssey handles other class skills on one class: subclassing, EOU's grimoire, EO2U's grimoire. they are all slightly different and still have very similar end results

ff isn't really what I'd call experimental but it definitely tries something new with every game, and the differences aren't as tiny as you make them out to be

anyway, I'd like for every game to try something new

I even want draque to try something new, but I'm OK if it doesn't because it's good at what it does

Do you mean like how FF has a ton of spinoffs? FE should continue to be a series of TBSes and eventually hire a writing staff.

FF has more variations than EO later on in the series. 10 and 12 are really quite different from the earlier games in the series, and it looks like the same is true for 13 and 15. Dunno if it is wildly innovative in a good way, but it's a lot more variation than EO and DQ have from game to game in terms of basic approach to combat mechanics.

I think EO does have a lot of variety between some of the games because of changes in enemies and bosses, class skills, etc, but the basic approach to gameplay is a lot more similar than in the FF games.

The varying content in all the FE games is what makes the series pretty cool as a whole to me.. even though some of the individual games I don't think are so cool. Given that FE13 and FE14 kind of revived the series I think we'll be seeing some new shit, but pair ups, and regrettably MU/children characters are here to stay.

ffs aren't really known for being innovative my man

the ones since 10 have all had radically different battle systems which is what i imagine op meant

edit: radically different is maybe a bit of an overstatement, but they've had pretty idiosyncratic systems since then even if they're not wildly innovative.

the rest of the game is pretty much the same tho lmao

Why not have FE take the Mario route? Sport, kart racing, and board games!

I sincerely think that'd be terrible, but I wouldn't rule it out happening at this rate. Mario's got wide international and family appeal. FE's a niche strategy series.

what about the KH route

have a game in development for like 3948230482 years and teasers once every 2 years but never actually come out

if this means we get fire emblem games with such fantastic titles as "358/2 days" i'd totally be on board

I wouldn't mind FE spin offs, but only if they were in a genre that made sense. I could see an FE fighting game happening and totally get behind it, for example, but, say, an FE Kart Racing game would be weird and make no sense. If it turned out to be good regardless I'd probably still buy it though.

Dude FEKart sounds awesome, who wouldn't want it!

I mean when Dracolord plays not-Monopoly with people born after he dies, anything can happen if you believe
