I'm hoping Echoes is being made for fans of old-school, undiluted, bad ass FE and not just the fans of all the pointless (silly anime) bullshit they've added recently. They've been stuffing so much extra frufru crap into these recent releases, I feel like it's taking away from the hardcore-strategy nature of the series and now the emphasis is on recruiting cute anime characters and touching them with your stylus while they praise you. Mechanically, I don't want pair up or next to each other (attack together) support type of shit. I would even prefer if they just keep the alm/celica & triangle attack supports and call it good with that. Honestly, imo, the less they change from Gaiden, the better. Updated graphics'll be sick, but other than that, I'm hoping for a straight forward, hardcore FE experience.
