Fire Emblem: Three Houses Directors Have No Clue Why The Series Is Popular In The West

Nintendo's turn-based strategy RPG franchise has been popular with Japanese audiences ever since its inception in 1990, but outside of Japan, few had ever heard about it until two anime swordsmen named Marth and Roy made an appearance in Super Smash Bros. Melee.

Following Melee's release in 2001, a number of Fire Emblem games made their way to the West on Game Boy Advance, GameCube, DS, and Wii.

Having 800 characters in Smash might have something to do with it

King_Noctis1723d ago

Not really, at least not for me. I don’t care for most if not all of FE characters in Smash. I however love the FE for their great stories and addictive gameplay.

Fe hits the fantasy perma death vibe real well

they're the only good tactics game thats out. I still boot up my vita and play my psp ff war of the lions game. Good lord that was a great game.

l am watching heros on twitch since l just cant give enough time to play it now with ff14, dq builders 2 and life. :C

I also enjoyed Wargroove. The tactical combat in fire Emblem is great, but running around the Monastery feels like a chore so far.

phoenixwing1723d ago

I bought wargroove the other day. it's been fun so far. However, there's nothing quite like fire emblem tbh and this is coming from someone who's not a big nintendo fan

King_Noctis1723d ago

You can always skip the monastery section and play battles only if you want. You are also not required to view any of the support cutscenes. What I like about this game is the amount of choices it presents to you.

Talented team. I'm sure they got something great in mind if Nintendo supports them fully

For the best magic/school life sim, you need to head back to Fire Emblem: Three Houses

It may not be open world, but Fire Emblem: Three Houses ticks every box when it comes to that delicate magic/school balance.

Iceman_Nightmare437d ago

Same here, Ill keep it at Hogwarts
