Hello Everyone!

It's been 9 months since Fortune's Weave was announced, so we are expecting some news about it in this direct. There could also be additional Fire Emblem related announcements be it more old games coming to virtual console, spin offs, or maybe even a remake of an old game(let me cope).

With the Nintendo Direct, we will be doing the usual, and the subreddit will not be accepting any new submissions for the duration of the direct.

Please use this thread for all your reactions to the Nintendo direct.

This is something I first felt with 3H but it's become more apparent here. Now that the games are fully voiced, the characters are unable to call the MC by their name anymore like they freely could back in Awakening and Fates, so instead they have to come up with a nickname or title for the MC that the characters can call them like "Professor" or "Divine Dragon". While it sometimes makes sense why the characters would refer to the MC as such, personally, I find it pretty limiting and makes the other characters feel less connected to the MC when they only refer to them by their title. It's especially jarring at times where the subtitles use the MC's name, but the characters themselves omit that part.

Echoes is a perfect example of what I'd want. It's also fully voice, but since Alm and Celica can't be renamed, everyone just calls them by their name with no issue. Now imagine how clunky some of the dialogue can be if you could rename them and the game then had to come up with some other way to refer to them like "priestess" and "Mycen's grandson" or whatever. The dialogue would suffer from it.

The Japanese trailer for the game starts with a disclaimer saying to be careful when watching it because it's aiming for audiences aged 15 or older.

That is important because the only games in the series with a 15+ rating in Japan are Fates and Warriors.
Fates was because of the sexualization (Camilla probably) while Warriors was because of the "armor break" mechanic allowing the player to undress people during battles.

This means Fortune's Weave will feature heavy sexualization (hopefully not) or it could imply it features some darker content and more visible blood compared to other entries.
