How does Echoes compare to the rest of the series?


Recommended Posts

Overall, gameplay wise, it's very different, and can be frustrating at times, but the aesthetics (art, voice, music) overall is probably the best FE has seen so far. Even if you end up hating the gameplay, the aesthetics will still hard carry the experience.

It'll be a better Gaiden; this I can objectively state.

Aside from that, I dunno.  Gaiden was a black sheep FE game, so it doesn't have the best rep.  But at the same time, the concept for FE Fates was loosely based off of Gaiden's story, and some of the gameplay elements that helped ease newbies into the more recent games like Awakening were taken directly from Gaiden.  So it has the potential to be almost as good as those games, if they're a good reference.  And it helps that it'll have a much more expanded story, supports, base "conversations" (they're really just monologues with implied responses from the protagonists), and "memories", among a smorgasbord of other new features.

I've got it waiting to unlock on my 3DS, since I pre-ordered it digitally a couple days ago.  I'll come back after midnight when you probably won't even be awake if your question remains unanswered.
