  • Have fun listening to me rant about the constant Fire Emblem 4 remake rumours, hopefully the eventual Nintendo direct doesn't make me look stupid. Ah well I can always make a rant video on FEH (Fire Emblem Heroes) or Fire Emblem Engage if I run out of ideas.

    Seeing as I didn't elaborate properly in the video I might as well say, I don't think a Fire Emblem 4 remake is a completely bad idea but I'm scared that:
    A. They might ruin the story.
    And B. They might change crucial bits of the gameplay.
    Yes the game is dated in some regards but I'm worried they might do smth that would drastically change the game like removing the pursuit skill, a remake could be good like SoV but there's also the chance for the opposite.
    Disagreeing is fine and encouraged, I've been proven wrong with my thoughts in Engage before it released so I may well be wrong again so only time can tell.

      Nintendo's virtual console apparently wasn't actually all that successful, which is what pushed them to do the live service drip feed approach we have with NSO. I wouldn't be surprised at all if the costs of developing a remake of a game is greatly outweighed by the benefits of getting to market it as a new game and sell it for full price. Though it's sad to admit, most gamers these days don't care to play games older than 6th gen.@@Finnland278

      I once saw a video making a pretty big point about how Fire Emblem Engage was a massive golden opportunity wasted.
      This was nintendo and IS's chance to make several games available to the public, but ironically, even less titles were available for purchase by the time Engage was released, since the 3DS e-shop's closing alone killed off at least 3 fire emblem games from the market. Add the NES shadow dragon controversy on top of that, and you're potentially looking at three times the amount of fire emblem games lost over games introduced/brought back.

    What? FE4 is a great game for its time, sure, but you have to realize it's super outdated, and if you enjoy it that's cool but it's definitely not for everyone. A remake would have a lot more general appeal and, hell, most FE4 fans would like it more than the original as well. Seems to me all beliefs of the original being superior stem from a place of elitism more than anything.

    • @Finnland278
      @Finnland278  Před 3 měsíci +5

      I did overexaggerate as I tend to, some parts of fe4 r dated but changing may hurt the image of the original, so thus I would say a port with a translation would be more enjoyable. I think the reputation fe4 has should be enough for it to appeal to newcomers seeing as it's hailed as one of the best fe games out there. But wanting a remake shouldn't incriminate anyone since it makes sense not everyone wants to deal mechanics they don't like such as trading or pursuit but changing the mechanics makes it seem less like fe4 and more so a completely different game. This was more so a video to rant of remakes with fe4 remake rumours being an excuse. There's plenty of issues with fe4 getting remade but I feel like they're obvious so I would just be retreading ground most people already know about.
      A remake isn't bad but I think there's just a fear that they'll screw it up pretty much.

    Well nice video, do agree that people shouldn't just wait for a remake to try out genealogy when there's a good english patch and speed-up functions in an emulator.
    However, i think that genealogy DO need a remake yes, as there's a lot of mechanics it can get improved from newer games, some of them being the rescue command, enemy AI prediction and maybe multi-turn move commands (this one being a first in the franchise but needed as genealogy has the biggest maps)
    I think that most of the rant comes from the fear of a fire emblem 4 remake actually, as it has the BIGGEST chance of having its dark story botched or disfigured with the addition of the dreaded avatar player character, this is something my friend also fears, but i personally don't mind anymore.
    So yeah, equal levels of things for and against the game.
    Since we're talking about it already, i do want to say that i would enjoy if they re-balanced weapon weight and used strengh to remove weapon weight penalties like we have in the newer games, and perhaps also MAYBE the possibility of reclassing some gen 2 characters to accept multiple weapons, as there's no gen2 kid who can accept spears or axes, so Lex and Finn have no one to give their weapons to if they marry someone, and Arden loses his versatility as a general, being able to wield all 4 basic physical weapon types and thus, give them to the kids.

    • @Finnland278

      Yeah they're plenty reasons to remake fe4 as you pointed out, a remake isn't inherently a bad thing and if fe4 gets the sov treatment im sure it'll be a great game, but I usually take a more cautious approach when it comes to new game releases seeing as in my eyes there could be better games out there you could essentially play for free on an emulator so if I'm gonna spend 40 to 60 quid on a game it better be worth it.

      @CoqueiroLendario Před 3 měsíci

      @@Finnland278 I agree but Genealogy really needs this smoothing, i personally almost gave up on it when i played the first time because i didn't want to use the speed-up function of the emulator and hadn't turned off animations so every turn was a slog that took literal hours to get close to anything, just to get some guy killed because the AI tries to do the most damage at once and the open maps makes hard to predict where the enemies will strike.
      Of course this was before i gave up and started using the speedup + turning off animations, which made the experience way more bearable.
      But then there's the lack of deep thought on stuff like weapon weight and other general balance decisions that really should get some attention too.
      So while i agree that many games can just be played on their original version, Genealogy is a game that is in dire need of polishment to get its true potential ready.

    I do think you bring up some interesting points about porting over remaking. That being said, I disagree. I've played Fire Emblem 4 from beginning to end, and while it certainly is a masterpiece far ahead of its time it occasionally struggles with fully bringing out the scope of the game's plot. A remake could flesh out events like Thracian desert ambush and the battle at Belhalla, expand on lesser developed characters in the Gen 2 cast, and make the already fan-favorite units and villains even more memorable. I'm not saying that Inteligent Systems has no chance to screw a Geneology remake up (I personally disliked Engage quite a bit myself and don't want a remake to be like that) but they have proven that they can make great remakes with great storylines, and I have faith they can pull it off again.

      @@zxylo786 I'm not trying to say that they should rewrite characterization to make characters "sympathetic", but rather better explore characterization already apparent in the story. Arvis is a great example of this. In the original, his character is a nuanced one torn between his Loptyr blood and his duty as a Crusader. FE4 only has a few scenes that really show this, but a remake could truly expand on it in ways the original didn't. If anything, I think a remake would double down on the darker aspects like SoV did (i.e showing more manipulation and abuse by Hilda and Julius among other things). All of that being said, I do agree that barring Arion nobody should be recruitable that wasn't in the original.

    Fire emblem genealogy is still a fairly underground game to the general public. Think about Nintendo as a company. They are sitting on so many IPs that they own, properties no other company can touch, yet they barely re release their games, doesn't matter if it is digital, remake, remaster, they so rarely do it. Fire emblem path of radiance, radiant dawn, F zero games, pokemon colosseum/xd, smash bros melee, I could go on listing games, so many obvious ones, that never saw a release past their original consoles. They could literally put so little effort into just remastering and re releasing their classic games and bank on it. Look at sony during ps3 / ps4 all the ps2 classics they made hd collections of, so easy for Nintendo to do. Could do a similar to those collections like mega man x legacy you mentioned but of path of radiance / radiant dawn, the starfox games, the old f zero games, the old metroid games, the 2d mario titles, etc.

    Fire emblem 4 is weird, on one hand it is one of the best game in the series, on the other hand it has probably one of the most tedious gameplay in the of Fire emblem and unpolished mechanics, and that's mostly due to it being old and the one to introduce core mechanics that we use a lot in series.

A clear example of this is Ishtar. Ishtar in Heroes is a completely different person than in the game. In the game she fully loves Julius and even competes with him as to whom can kill a playable character first. In Heroes she basically ditches him for Reinhardt because he is "toxic".

    This video dude, literally what I'm thinking aswell
    The people I've seen lately so desperately want an fe4 remake when the game doesn't even need one, it's better off left alone as is
    The game doesn't need a remake at all because it's already GOOD, it's held up on its own for several years, and who knows? If it does get a remake, who's to say it won't butcher up the charm the game has?

      This.
      Fe4 is already a great game that doesn't need outlandish fixing, if they ported fe1, hopefully they can port a much more polished game like fe4.

      I've already beaten FE4 multiple times on emulator with an english patch and even beat it one time through playing it on the switch online entirely in japanese without being able to read the language at all. I still want an FE4 remake because I want to enjoy experiencing the game again in a different way, and I don't really give a shit if they fuck up anything about it because I can just go play the original anyway. It would be fun to see all the characters redrawn in a modern style, and see how they adapt all the intricacies of it's gameplay. Plus there are tons of people who simply won't ever touch the SNES version no matter how often you tell them it's good, so they won't have the excuse of it being old any more. Honestly I don't really see how there is a downside to the game being remade, since you can just always play the old version if it is remade and you don't like what they did with it.

    remakes are not the problem, its the quality and pricing of them. a remake thats basically a port should be 20, a remake that is a real remake that redoes the whole game with fresh and new graphex and small bits of added content or modern conveniences (or most remakes) should be 40 and if your ff7 that basically made a new game with its remake using only the main game as a starting point to expand on should be 60. remakes are fantastic as they make a way to update dated games with modern polish and allow new players to play games they couldn't before. however when it comes to a game like fe or srw, or really any srpg where you cant really add much, there should not be a remake, only ports, and the ports should be very cheep as game prices go down. i mean sega has sa1 and sa2 for like 5 usd, should be the same for old game ports

      I would say the likes of Persona 1 may need one, the plot is fine but in retrospect it had a few weird things for a jrpg that would even look weird back then where you can only have 5 party members and your unable to switch them and if you recruit an optional character that's it you can't kick them out they are there for the remainder and this game roughly came out when FF allowed multiple characters to switch around with.
      To top off both routes in P1 mostly have forced characters so there isn't much experimentation other than "should i pick a character who is great or who sucks". The story is good and p5r's third semester is clearly inspired by it however other than a very small fraction not many of the characters get their own spotlight and Maki dominates it, which the manga adaptation has lead to some people find it definitive storywise to look at that then the game which I have played and while my experience is fine it is quite flawed possibly even back then. P2 would later did some reworks and aged a bit better, the combat is a a bit on the wonky side and Eternal punishment is quite hard it's only P3 where the series's gameplay actually had a good momentum though with minor things that needed to be reworked which reload seem to have patched up

      sadly i dont trust atlus to do a good remake because a remake should also be the definitive version of which reload is not as its missing both the fem c route from the psp and the answer from the updated version made on the original system. and if they cant get that right a p1 remake would have all the same flaws as the original and they would over price it like reload@@nightwish1453

      And often times many stories may have inferior versions (the studio deen adaptation of fate stay night compared to the visual novel), there's chances for mistakes to occur and I'd rather have less reused content in smth that I would've payed 40 to 60 quid for.
      However the fe4 remake could be insane and I could be completely wrong so who knows.

    I don't agree with this video.
    the idea that game companies are getting lazy, and your only point you've made is Sonic X Shadow Generations remake, which I have to assume means you think Remakes are lazy. I'll get more into that later.
    your point on engage is a bit confusingly worded, you brought the mechanic of summoning old units, but you said nothing about it. did you like it? dislike it? you never followed up your statement and just called the story bad. unless your saying reused content is bad, which it isn't. unless its so reused that nothing original comes out, but engage summons are the second mainline to do this, the first being awakenings units.
    "remakes are excuses for companies to resell content" is just wrong. Rereleases are reselling content, and that's not inherently a bad thing, though some companies do use it to just resell content. Remakes are different, where they not only have to recreate the game, but with most remakes, they fix and add changes. Look at echoes compared to gaiden. its night and day, Voice acting, amazing animations, some of the best music, and more characters. that story is improved(for the most part) so much, its disingenuous to imply its just reselling old content. there is still work put into remaking them. its not just releasing content over again.
    your point on FE4, while yes its true that most people could just apply a patch and play a Translated Fe4 game. thats not the case for most people. some people may not see fan translations the same as official, or may not know how to apply patches. others could just not like emulating games. most people who play translated Fire emblem games Are already Fire emblem fans to begin with.
    you seam confused. Echoes is not gaiden. they are 2 separate games, one is a remake, but they are 2 separate games. again, its disingenuous to imply its the same as gaiden.
    I agree, people shoud play fire emblem 4, its a really fine game.
    I don't have a problem with what your thinking, your able to have the opinion of whatever you want, but your reasons are just wrong and disingenuous, thats my only problem I have with it.

    Pop culture has been massively degraded since 1996. I hate seeing more and more of these remakes, and the idiots who lap them up. I want new games and sequels, not fe4 with ugly 3d graphics and censorship, with lets be honest inferior music to the snes original as well.

      I think remakes r a bit of a trend that's kinda stupid, resources that could've been used to make new games r instead getting used up for stuff we've already seen and done before. Hopefully if less people buy em they'll get less popular and maybe we'd get more new content.

      Yeah I would be absolutely pissed if the FE4 remake catered to the neckbeard virgin redditor waifu collectors. Which they will probably do. FE4 is an extremely serious game with very high stakes. No other game in the franchise compares. IS has shown that they don't know how to make serious games.

    They will censor the shit out of the game. Make gay like 9 characters and make villlains "misunderstood" and make them recruitable (this is coming from someone with a Travant pfp) I agree. Let FE4 and FE5 be. They will ruin it.

      Jokes aside, yeah they're likely to censor the hell out of this game, I'm personally fine since the story changes can be looked up online for people who may play a botched version of the game. The recruiting characters would be very annoying tho I hope they don't add anything like that.

      Problem is that they will censor the shit out of the game. Make every character recruitable. Maybe even make Julius hold hands with Seliph and make out with him at the secret final wholesome 100 ending because Fire Emblem babies who started with 3Hs can't tolerate a dark story. No thanks.
