Fire Emblem: Working Title

Serenes Forest forum here for those who want to enjoy better speculation than, say, GameFaqs has to offer.

Thoughts:

1) I said it wasn't going to be a console title.

2) So much for the idea of a player-created Lord.  Thank goodness.

3) Chrome?  Sounds like a Final Fantasy name.  I like "Krom" better.  Prince Krom of the kingdom of Iris.  OK.  I can roll with that.

4) Art style?  Do Not Like.  Even more of a shock than my initial reaction to the FE11 art... which I did come around to.  Eventually.

5) In between the world maps and the "Sealed Sword Falchion" and the undead soldiers, it feels like a very, very weird Valencia homage.

Fire Emblem: Working Title, Cont.

Awright.  Having processed the shock and dismissed some of the crazier rumors flying (I don't think this is set in Magvel, guys.  Really.), I am feeling very excited about FE13 now.  Though I have hopes for some connection to Valencia, I'm not going to be getting those hopes very high.

I do think it's coming out overseas, though.  The 3DS needs first-party titles, badly.

It helps to believe that moe-moe pigtail girl is the little sister and not a secondary Lord or the love interest.  I can't take her seriously.

Also?  The Prince of Eris or whatever has not dethroned Ephraim of his status as Sexiest Male FE Lord Ever.  Nope.  Looks too much like Sigurd, man.  That jawline.

Oh, and I bet he's going to be in SSB4, too.  Because we totally needed another blue-haired dude with a sword in that game.  Now I'm starting to think Ike is gonna be cut from the roster.
