Hardin Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 Ryo Hirata, the character designer for the Advance Wars trilogy has recently joined twitter, and he has posted some old artwork from his Intelligent Systems days. As a Fire Emblem site I figured a few of us would appreciate seeing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingddd Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 Pretty cool. I always love the cartoony army aesthetics. The Battalion Wars artist also posted his works on his site since Battalion Wars is part of the Nintendo Wars series too. http://manmonkee.deviantart.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hardin Posted April 25, 2016 Author Share Posted April 25, 2016 Sweet, I love Battalion Wars and Star Fox Zero was reminding me of when I used to rain death with my gunships in those games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiac Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 Man, I love these. I'm more interested in CO Concept Arts though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reality Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 I am so confused about some of the height differences in that picture>< Jess and Nell are tall, Sonja of all people is average height, and all the other women are tiny! also I always imagined Sturm to just tower over buildings like Aku from Samurai Jack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The DanMan Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 Though I appreciate the art, I've never been the biggest fan of Advance War's "cartoon army" aesthetic. I personally prefer the first picture; it's stylized, yet believable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jedi Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 Haha the first picture is adorable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alastor15243 Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 Damn I miss this series. I wish they'd make another game again. Days of Ruin was awesome and I really wanted to see what they'd do with that aura-based CO system in the future once they started exploring things other than simple offense-defense boosts.

Sire Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 Man, I would like another Advance Wars game. While I am nostalgic about the originals (1 & 2, Dual Strike), Days of Ruin was arguably the best gameplay-wise. The art style I had to adjust to, but I miss my Advance Wars games... Now I wonder what Advance Wars would look like if Kozaki (Awakening and Fates artist) did some of the art... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I wonder what Advance Wars would look like if Kozaki (Awakening and Fates artist) did some of the art... That would be interesting... Honestly I preferred the tone of Days of Ruin as well, not just the gameplay, mostly because not only did the characters feel like real people and not the creepily disconnected sociopaths of the originals, but it also was funnier in my opinion than the original games were. But really in the grand scheme of things, if they made a new advance wars game, I think I'd be happy even if they didn't continue what Days of Ruin started.
