![]() What are your thoughts on Fire Emblem Heroes ? Let us know in the comments or on Twitter! And read our other handy roundtables for more thoughts from the Siliconera team. KELLAM: At least I think so? I suppose he might be in there somewhere and I’d never know it. We want Cipher! We want Warriors, sort of, though those characters weren’t particularly special! - GrahamĪ TRADITIONAL RELEASE: I wouldn’t mind a full-fledged, single-player Fire Emblem game that uses the original characters and elements of Fire Emblem Heroes! When’s that happening? - Josh MORE SPINOFF LOVE: While there was a brief nod at Tokyo Mirage Sessions a few years ago, spinoff heroes have otherwise been left out in the cold. So far we’ve had Fjorm, Peony, Reginn and now Ash. HOLDING OUT FOR A HERO: We’re missing male original characters who are the free, focus units for each book. But quality-of-life features like more auto-battling and balance problems like summoner support boosts? That’s less great. The idea of paying a small amount and getting a good set of bonuses? More palatable to me than the normal, pay-a-bunch-for-very-little microtransactions. MORE FEH PASS CHOICES: Honestly, in principle, I don’t hate Feh Pass. Don’t lock that behind a subscription, Intelligent Systems. It feels quite predatory and I’m not a fan. Some banners now give you a guaranteed character if you pull 40 times… if you subscribe. (And hey, maybe fixing some of the old stuff would be good, too! Like merge-and-skill-dependent scoring, which limits creativity and favors whales.) - GrahamįEH PASS CHOICES: I hate the Feh Pass-exclusive spark system. A huge spin-off entry in the popular game series, Fire Emblem Heroes is a free-to-play tactical RPG with turn-based battles and a ton of events and new heroes to try out. Hopefully we can see some work to remedy these. These have tried players’ patience, though, as power creep and nigh-broken units have made them a lot more frustrating to play. MODE EXECUTION: After years of some truly abysmal new “mode” efforts that didn’t add any interesting gameplay, recent Fire Emblem Heroes efforts have seen fun ideas like Pawns of Loki and Summoner Duels. THE MONETIZATION: For as many gacha games as I play, make no mistake: gacha monetization is inherently predatory, which is automatically bad! - Josh But you can tell that Intelligent Systems and Nintendo are at least trying new things, and that’s given the game legs! In ways the rest of the Nintendo Mobile offerings really haven’t. SUSTAINED DEVELOPMENT: Has every addition been a hit? Not remotely. ![]() The Binding Blade? Roy’s our boy and here! Thracia 776? Leif’s leading his army into our lives! By doing so, maybe it is also encouraging players to look up details about the Japan-exclusive titles. JoshĭISCOVERING CHARACTERS: I love that Fire Emblem Heroes exposes people to characters from games we didn’t get. The latter chapters also introduced a number of interesting wrinkles to its multiversal lore, and added appealing original characters of its own. GACHA THAT WORKS: Fire Emblem Heroes really distilled the key appeal of Fire Emblem - its characters - into that most character-focused of games: The gacha hero collector, and made it work. Battles are short and fit easily on a phone, but they also still feel tactical. STREAMLINED STRATEGY: Heroes strikes a good balance between the tactics of traditional Fire Emblem and a friendlier, mobile simplicity. Let’s hear from you too! Drop by the comments and share your thoughts. ![]() It’s a great time to look back at what it’s accomplished, good and bad, and what we’d still like to see from the game. These Heroes are various characters from various nations within the Fire Emblem universe, banded together under a single banner to destroy a evil that threatens the fabric of reality.Nintendo mobile hit Fire Emblem Heroes is celebrating its fifth anniversary this week.
