This makes Faye a thematic contrast not only to Alm but to the other three villagers he grew up with. Faye reacted to this by acting like returning to her old village was even more important to her than staying alongside Alm, even at a point where she presumably isn't aware that he's destined to unify the continent or marry a way prettier childhood friend whom he had been consistently more attached to as a young kid. This ties into what happened in her A support with Alm what he explicitly rejected there was going back to the village, saying he had things he wanted to do in the outside world. It gives me the sense that they (much like Alm) grew up and matured over the course of the war, while Faye remained the same, clinging to her childhood life. What struck me about Faye's ending is that she's the only one of the villagers to go back to Ram in the end, whereas Kliff travelled the world while Grey and Tobin become knights in the unified Valentian army. Overall they have added character, worldbuilding, polish, style, and new mechanics to this game that all together will make the end product great. Especially combined with the base conversations and memories (though its funny that the death endings make me want to kill some of them off too). And I don't think I am alone in that sentiment.įor instance although I think supports could be more extensive I think they do the job of "make me care about the units in my army enough to care if they die" well enough. Regardless I personally think that Echoes looks to be a really great game with a lot to offer that builds on the original and makes it better in many ways. But I don't think the positive feelings toward the game will go down enough that people will actually see they hate it or most people will start to dislike it. Echoes has an interesting and I'd say probably beneficial place in the middle of both though. Overall it seems like people are very hyped and some are even acting like this will be the new savior of FE or whatever, unless you are talking about loud fans of either the newest or past games that act like one or the other is garbage for garbage fans.
I don't think I've seen that with Echoes though. I agree that people shouldn't try to focus too much on negatives with these games overall. I'm not overly fond of Tellius, but how often do you see me rain on the parade? You either like something or you don't like something, and that's okay. Having grievances is okay, but with many you'd think FE was irredeemable trash and that's just not true. I wish, however, that we could focus more on the overarching positiveness of not only this game, but every other one as well. I think you make a valid point, and I don't disagree with you. The overarching mentality from the playerbase is that Echoes (or the next FE, whatever) needs to change to conform to their tastes, not the other way around. I don't mean to pick him out because I have no beef with Thane, he has valid points, but he's not alone. This is not Thane's first topic or post on "something small that I don't like about Gaiden", specifically all the things that needed to change about the base game to even be "passable". Expecting otherwise and saying everybody that has personal grievances is just whining or bitching is unfair. It's not necessarily a bad thing that there are some things people don't like that's just how things work. You can't please everybody, but you also can't expect people to just like what they get or shut up. Hell the first post even says it's just personally a bit disappointing but not a deal breaker or big deal. It's not like people are here tearing the game to shreds about this.
